hope at least partial restoration, but on the

which even the first attack pointed seems to

Such illusions are often caused by exter-
nal influences. The bed covering slipped
to the ground causes us to dream OF ap-
pearing half clad on the street or at
social gathering; or it may call up
visions of skating, Alpine travel or
polar expedition. There again may sud-
denly end in the feeling Of falling into
gulf, due to a slight alteration OF the
sleepers position in bed. A hot water
bottle at the feet may suggest vision OF
climbing Mount Aetna and walking on

may imagine that something gruesome

GRAPES IN MEXICO.
Their Culture May Prove One of the Coun.
try's Greatest Industries.
philadelphia Press. }

One of California's best known fruit
growers has recently made an extended
trip through Mexico with the intsntion of
investigating the possibilities of grape
culture in that country. Many people of
wealth, or at least of moderate means,
have taken up the culture of the Ameri-
can grape merely as a pastime, and, rs
it was merely pastime, it ended as most
nastimes do-in failure. The results Of
these half-hearted attempts have spread
abroad, and have formed the basis for the
oDjnion that is now almost universal,
that American grapes cannot be grown
proiitably in Mexico. There is a move.
,nent on foot now, however, to dispel
this illusion, ard to show the world that,
with proper care, grapes can be grown in
Mexico which will equal, IL they do not
surpass, any grapes in the world.
The gentleman who is at present carry
ing on his investigation of this subject
has looked carefully into the methods
usually employed by those who have tried
grape culture, as they would flower Gull
tura, and the results of his investigation
are interesting. In almost every case the
grower knew absolutely nothing about
the real principles of the business, and
looked on it simply as an amusement. In
most cases the grapes were planted wher-
ever the garden happened to be. and this
was usually just the place where they
should not have been planted. The low
lands of the valley, while excellently
adapted for general garden work, are alb
solutely unfit for the growing of grapes;
This is due. to a great extent, to the wet
subsoil of the valley. Had these expert
ments been tried ON the sunny billsides
the results would undoubtedly have been
different. Here the climate is much ike
the climate in many parts Of Italy.
American grapes command big prices
in Mexico and sell we'll. If the proposed
plans are carried out, the great prou ts
which will be made by growing .he
grapes right in the country, with tn me
country's cheap labor, will undoubtedly
turn the attention of many to this NOUS sas,,
try, and there is no reason why, i'll lew
years. it should not equal any inousiS
OF the country.

HoWLoNG sHALL AMAN SLEE P.
That Some Give Few Hours to 1t Does not
Prove That All Should.
(From The Medical Record.)

(From The Medical Record.)
Much has been written lately concern
ing the phenomena of sleep. Many per-
sons have aired their views on the subject.
Some assert that people r.as rule sleep
too long, while others are of the opposite
opinion. DR.. Andrew Wilson has recent
ly made some apropos remarks on the
matter. He first cites instances of cele-
DRAFTED men who needed a small amount
of sleep, and says: Humboldt, who
lived to be.eighty thine, is said to have
declared thatswhen he was young two
hours sleep was enough for him, and that
the regulation seven or eight hours OF re-
pose represented an unnecessary prolong-
alton of the itime of somnolence. 1t is
also said that Sir George Elliot, who com
manded at the siege lof Gibraltar. never
INDUCED in more than four hours, sleep
while the siege lasted. and that little
affair occupied at least four years. Sir
George died at the age of eighty four.
DIR. Legge, Professor of Chinese at Oxford
who died 1.-THE other day at the age OF
eighty two, was declared to be satisfied
with five hours of sleep only, and rose
regularly at a. m. What do such cases
proye2
Assuming the correctness of the details
they prove only that certain men land
very few men, should say. are able to
recuperate their brain cells more quickly
than the bulk of their fellows. They are
the exceptions, which, by their very op-
position to the common run, prove the
rule that good sound sleep of seven or
eight hours duration represents the
amount of repose necessary for the. aver
age man or woman. 1t would be highly
dan gerous experiment for the ordinary
individual to attempt to curtall his
hours of repose, and it must not be for
gotten that in this matter of sleep we
have to take into account the question OF
the daily labor and the nature of the
work in which the individual engages.
In the case of DR.. Legge we have q
picture of the student, whose labor Is sole.
ly Of the intellectual kind, involving
little drain on the muscular system. In
the case of Sir q. Elliot we have an active
commander, who, in addition to the men
tai anxieties involved in the conduct OF
a long siege, had no doubt fair .amount
of physical exertion to undergo. But,
while the case of the professor may be
explicable on the ground that his five
hours sleep compensated him for any
wear and tear his quiet life presented, we
may fall back in the instance of the Gen
erai on the theory Of special o-gnniza-
ton, set, as it were, so as to satisfy Itself
with limited amount of SLEEP.
''The personal equation, in short, plus
the kind or character of mans work,
determines the duration of his repose;
and that the average period required by
the,ordinary individual in health is OF
from seven to eight hours is the one opin-
ion confirmed by the collective experience
of the civilized race. "
