The lot Of the queen regent OF Spain

fairs and International troubles have
been the cause of great anxiety, and
her majesty is beginning to wear quite
a careworn look. which is only light

her son. The queen felt very proud
and delighted when the young king of
Spain recently passed triumphantly
through the ordeal of the examination

ties. The young King Alphonso sat

Of ssiesfisss-
Written for the Sunday Republic:
What should be the normal length Of
sleep? The question has baen often
put. and Sir James Sawyer has Just
answered 1t In a work on longevity.
He says that sleep should occupy .
third of twenty-four hours Although
this figure is not at all exaggerated. Il
must be noted that some of the great
est workers OF our time never devoted
eight hours to sIumber. Thus. Sir
James Legges. professor of Chinese
1t Oxford university, who died at the
age OF So. rose every morning at 3
O'Clock and never slept more than fvs
hours Brunei. the famous engineer.
worked twenty hours day for the
greater part OF his life. Lord Heath
neld, while commander in chief of
Gibraltar during the four years siege
Of the fortress. never took more than
four hours repose. He lived to be 81.
Alexander Humboldt in his old age
had to sleep at least four hours day,
but II seems that In his youth two
hours were quite sufficient This sa-
want consequently maintained that IL
was great mistake to think eight
hours day necessary for sleep. Lit
tire rose at 8 a. m. and while his bed
room, which served also as study,
was being arranged. went downstairs
with a number OF books. having
learned from the Chevalier d'Aguessau
to turn idle moments to account II
was while waiting for his bed to be
made that he is said to have composed
the preface of his dictionary. At .
o'clock he sat down at his desk till
luncheon: at l D. m he resumed his
work and sent on his proofs to the
Journal des Savants. to which he con-
tributed regularly from 1855. From :
70 p. m he worked at his dictionary;
at 6 O'Clock he dined. and at O'Clock
went back to his desk till O'Clock in
the morning. often continuing his
studies In summer time till sunrise.
Lttre lived to the age Of 80. These
Instances show at least that longevity
Is not Incompatible with short sleep.

The attack seems to have been COM
p,e,e success, although the reports are
60 maager that II is impossible TO judge
well. Il is stated, for instance. that the
eunboats maintained terrific bonn
bardnent for an hour. and upon landing
Il was found that there were several
insurgents dead In q building which had
suffered from the bombardment. 1t
seems scarcely probable that no greater
damage was done by what IS described
as q terrific bombardment than 10 kill
several" persons and destroy "a"
building.
This description resembles that Of an
incident near Kimberley. A dispatch
said that the Beers fired several shells.
but did no damage After referring to
some unimportant details 1t goes on to
say that the explosion Of thirty-five
tons of dynamite by the Beers was ter
rife, and the wounded are doing we'll"
These are matters OF very little con-

that 1t Is not very satisfactory reading.
