The Report of the Weather Bureau for

,dition Of the grains still 1unthreshed.
It is said that in parts of the Red
River valley there are thousands of
acres of grain so poor that it will not
be threshed. Many stacks are green
on their north sides. The ground is so
soft that plowing and the cutting of
late flax is greatly retarded, while the
fax cut and lying on the ground is in
danger OF sprouting. The frosts of the
18th and 18th caused very little injury
to flax, affecting only the tender gar

impossible with the present conditions,
and much already cut is spelling; the
forage crops are also difficult to save
Winter wheat and rye seeding have

be dug in good condition. and many
are rotting. Corn is safe from frost,

The carriers will carry full supply
of postage stamps, postal cards,
stamped envelopes and money order
blanks. They will also register letters
for their patrons and where their pa
irons desire to make them their agents
may put money orders which. will be
issued by the Princeton Office On their
application, into the envelopes fur
nished and mail them at once. u I. ~
Part of the income of the carriers
will come from the fees received for
carrying parcels and doing errands for
their patrons. which will not conflict
with their duties, but the parcels so
carried must not be such as would
otherwise be sent by mail. That is
they are not allowed to, distribute
circulars, etc, which would otherwise
be mailed to people along the road.
The people along the routes will find
it very convenient when they want a
little article and do not have the time
to come to town to give their order to
the carrier and have it brought out
the next day. =.
In conclusion remember that the
carrier is not supposed to take your
mail to your house, nor to put it in a
box which is not secure or cannot be
readily reached without dismounting
from his cart. Observe the time your
carrier arrives, the time will not vary
much from day to day, and then visit
your box. This will guard against
any depreciation. Work with your
carrier and thus receive all the bene.

cally delivered at your door. Let's all

liest settlers, died on his stock ranch,
80 miles north of Aitkin, on Monday,
September II, at 7 o'clock P. NJ, of
heart failure. Death came without
warning and Mr.. Tibbetts had none of
his family about him, Mrs. Tibbetts
being at the time in Aitkin and the

pass many hours in slumber and yet eX- tract from that sleep the minimum of rest. For instance it has been found that if the bed is not constructed properly one cannot get the best results from the hours of re- pose It is, of course, bad to sleep upon the back, but 1t is even worse to sleep in such a position that the stomach is as high as the head and the feet lower than both. In the same way if the spring of the bed yields to the weight of the body too readi- ly, the sleeper will be in a kind of hollow whether he lies on his back or his side. If he lies on his back his feet are too high, and if he lies on his side the spine is so badly curved that the sleep is actually detriment to the health rather than an ad- vantage.
 In~order to obviate this it-should be seen that the springs are so constructed that they are stronger at the center than at the head or foot. Then, the mattress should be moderately hard and the pillow should not be too high. If these conditions are ob- tained it will be possible for person to ob- tain the greatest amount of benefit from the hours devoted to repose Of course there are scores of other rules that will be made and followed by those who are making this experiment. Some may be found to be correct while others will not prove useful. When the sitting process has been completed there Is no reason why the world should not be better for the investi-
 
 fully as the projectors have promised that it will be.
 Sleep Is not peculiar to man for fl pre- sents itself in every organism. Still the theories on the subject practically concern man only and are not capable of general application. As the result they leave the phenomenon practically unexplained. Dr. Carelton Simon, of New York, has "a theory that he believes explains the real secret of sleep He claims that the little nerve cells at the base of the brain contract when one Is tired and thus, the connection be- tween them being lost, just as electric ac- tion ceases when the current is turned off, sleep follows. After awhile, when the nerve cells have rested, their shrunken bodies are | filled with a new vitality and connection IS re-established. Then we wGhe.

SLEEP AS A HABIT.
American Students of Psychology Are Trying to Devae Some
 Means to Lessen the Hours of SIumb0r
@--- ~sE- Sab -> sZzs-T-sy-.Tszsz.e- .e-9--5yT~T

An experiment that is as strange as 1t is interesting is being tried by an organi- zation of students in several American uni- versailles, which has for its purpose the lengthening of working hours. This expe- riment is based upon the belief that sleep is, to a large extent, matter of habit and that it can be lessened materially If proper care of the system is taken. They believe that rules can be devised by which they will be able to reduce the sleeping hours to a minimum consistent with continued health and they are working hard to bring this condition of things about
 What Sancno Panza or John G. Sake, who united to "bless the man who first in- vented sleep" would think of such pro- ject is a matter not pleasant to contem- plate, but that the investigation is one that will be followed with great interest by physicians and scientists is a certainty. It is known that Thomas A. Edison has long held that majority of mankind was crimi- nally extravagant In wasting so many precious hours in slumber Others nave held a similar opinion and have been able to carry their theories into practice py sleeping little and working more, but 1t has generally been supposed that such rules ap- piled only to individual cases and that some persons required much more sleep than others If the association Of students now experimenting along these lines has the courage to persist in its purpose these ques-

any unnecessary waste of vital energy would be avoided.
 Professor Herrera, the eminent scientist, has expressed opinions that to certain ex- tent at least, uphold this theory. He says:
 "I do not admit, O metaphysicians the existence of any hard and fast line between sleep and waking. I do not believe that any organism can ever be completely awake or completely asleep. There Is always some thing living one organ sleeping and an- other palpitating. A goose never happens to shut both it's eyes at once. My own heart has at no time slept as my brain does 1t hardly ever rests, pocr, perpetual sentinel! And you, O muscles? Ye yawn, wake and work too. There are some disn- herited. beggared organs sleeping in asce- ties Yet there is weak and slop nutrit- i've current even there. I deny, then, any hard and fast line: there are no barriers between sleeping and waking, just as there are no absolutely separated and divided things in nature, whether stars or organ isms."
 This is the principle advocated by the new association of college students. They hold that one organ sleeps while the other is wakeful and they believe that they will yet be able to discover some means of gaining control over their body.
 At the same time they are making care full study of the question of sleep as ne- cessbty. In other words, they are trying 10 discover how sleep may be made most ad- vantageous. They believe that people do not sleep wisely; that in ignorance they

BASEBALL TEAMS
 PRACTICING

In spite of the fact that it is yet several weeks before it will be possible to play the first game of baseball the mines of the va- rdeus colleges are already making prepara- tions for the championship contest that is to open as soon as the weather becomes settled and fair. Naturally the first step was the selection of the men to train the teams, and if the coach has anything to do with the future work of the club there es no reason why there should not be some remarkably clever hines in the collegiate diamond next spring. Among all the men who have been chosen to perform this im- portant duty there is scarcely one who has not already distinguished himself in some of the big leagues. In fact, to belong to 0 successful professional baseball club ap- pears to be one of the principal requisites required of the men who have been en-

Russia's Industrial Progress

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Nearly every one knows that Russia's in- dustrial progress has been enormous during the last generation. But this progress is so rapid that statistics quickly become out of date. The latet figures of increase, trans lated from official Russian sources, are printed in the British Board of Trade Journal. From 1877 to 1898 the production of coal increased sevenfold. of naphtha thirty-fvefold, of pig iron skiold, and of steel thdrtyfold. These are percentages of increase that the United States itself has not equaled. The chief manufacturing irl- dustries of the empire produced to the value of 541,OO0,000 rubles in 1877; this has increased to 1,S16,000,0OO rubles. The in- crease in value of textiles has been from 297, ,7OO, 900 to 946, 900 rubles and in metal ware from 89, 300 900 to 310600,0O0. These sta- Mstics show that there Is no decrease in the percentage of increases that have startled the world.

MY DEBUT AS
 A STAGE CHILD

 Where was I born? Oh, I honored the town of Whitby, in Ontario. Canada, a little hamlet not famous even yet. lived there until I went on the stage.
 From the time I was eight years old until I left Whitby, I sang in the Epis- copal church there. I was the only female soprano and the only child in the choir, Singing came naturally to me My voice never had any cultivation. I harmonized as naturally as I talked; my voice was naturally placed, and I produced tones by the law breathing taught me and not by any other rule
 All through my childhood I sang in all the cantatas and such folly that is part of going to school. I suppose 1t was my success in those affairs that suggested to my mother: If ever these girls have to do something for themselves, as all girls in this age are liable to, l can put them in the theater.'
 The time came when 1t was necessary. My father, who was a lumber merchant, died suddenly and left us penniless. Flo, my sister, and l, had sung in all sorts Of duets together, so mother took us one day across the line to Buffalo. That was the nearest place in the state. the easiest to get to, and the least expensive
 I was a tot in dresses to my knees, with fat legs bulging out over the tops of my prunella gaiters. Well you can just fancy me. I was barely in my teens, hearty, healthy and good natured.
 Mother took us to hotel. Then she got a paper and looked over a list of the thea ters. She selected the Adelphi, then run by Dan Shelby, real variety theater. There was no such swell thing as a music hall in those days, and nothing like vaudeville shows. It was all plain variety business.
 She took us down to Shelby, told him what she wanted, and asked him to hear us. He just laughed outright when he looked at us. Flo was just. as slight as was broad, and we were both so little. But he was willing enough.
 The orchestra man was not there and no one could be found about to play our &C., compartments, So sister Flo, who played beautifully, was perched up at the piano. and we did our little tact" Mr. Shelby engaged us the spot, and we made our debut at the princely salary of $30 per week for the two of us.

The Yale author it.es are contemplating a radical change in their policy for the coming season. how ever. In the past it has been their practice to arrange for a certain number of games with professional clubs early in the season, but it Is now stated that this rule will be avoided this year, and that flow If any of the professional challenges received will be accepted.

 Kid" Nichols, the pitcher, who has helped to land many a championship for the Boston club, has been engaged as coach by tho athletic officials of Yale, and his se- lection is remarkable for the fact that he will be the first professional baseball coach that that university has had for many years. As usual Fred Tenny will coach for Brown university, but his selection occa- slons little comment, as he was a member of that college team before he became profes ssional player in the Boston club. Lewis, another Boston man, will coach this season for Harvard and Hughey Jen- nings, tho first baseman of the Brooklyn team, will perform the same duties for Cornell "Bill" Clark, of the Boston club, has been engaged by the athletic authori- ties at Princeton, and the team of the Uni versity of Pennsylvania, will be coached by Arthur F. Irwin, the well known player and manager.
 From such a list of aohes 1t can be seen that the athletic authorities of the various colleges are looking forward to an inter- esting season this spring What is more to the point no one seems to question but that they are correct in their surmise Pro- fessional baseball Is not as popular dn some sections as it was a year or two ago. and the support of the professional clubs is by nofmeans as great WhIen it comes ito inter- collegiate baseball, however, the lovers of the sport know that these games are to be played for all they are worth, and when ever the larger clubs are neglected just so much more attention will be paid to the playing of the college mines.

General Gordon's Northern Tour

From the New orleans flcayune.
 General John B. Gordon, commander-in- chief United Confederate Veterans, of Att lanta, Ga, who has been north on an ex- tended featuring tour, reached the city last might and took rooms at the St. Charles hotel. The general was met at the Illinois Central station by Adjutant General George Moorman, who drove him to the hotel. There the two were joined by Mine Host Blakely, who had a dainty supper spread, and the three old soldiers sat down and told stories until rather late hour-late considering the fact that General Gordon will leave on this mornings early Louis- vile and Nashville train for Pensacola, Fla, where he will fill a lecture engagement tonight. It has been some time since Gen. eral Gordon has been in New Orleans, ana consequently he was glad to again be in a place which, he says, Is full of people dear to his heart.
 "I have been north on a mission Of peace," said the veteran general, greeting the Picayune reporter in his customary grace and elegance. T have been uniting hearts and comrades have been telling those people of the first days of the Con- federacy and of the great causes that led up to the war, and believe they liked 1t, for they told me that they did, and could see honesty written in their faces.
 General Gordon said he did not wish to discuss politics. for 1t tended rather to de- tract from the great object in which he was at present engaged-that when 1t came to politics, the best of men would diner and differ honestly. The tour of the north has been extremely successful, as has been evi. denced by the northern press. General Cor don was way up on the Canadian border

that are considered by older and wiser heads as beneficial for development of the muscles that are called into play by the game of baseball. What a boon for such tradning the new Harvard cage is was not thoroughly recognized until the present year, and can hardly be appreciated by any except those who have paid visit to the quarters since the coaches have been at work with their charges.
 The training begins promptly at 2 o'clock when the battery candidates appear to pracice pitching and catching For this purpose the cage Is divided into four parts by the use of nets, so that four pairs of men can be at work at one and the same time. At 315 o'clock these nets are again taken down, and the whole cage is made one ground Or tho use of the men trying for the ether positions. These candidates are kept at work for about half an hour, when they are sent out on a run along some of the fine roads.
 The cage in which this practice work is done is one that will eventually commend itself to the athletic officials of every col- lege in the country. It Is a very large en- closure. clearly lighted, and having a good ground floor. carefully leyelled to suit the requirements of the players. As yet the work of the fie1dens has consisted merely in stopping grounders and throwing to bases. Up to this time there has been no attempt whatever at batting, but in spite of al thils, the cage has proved itself inval- uable aid to the practice work of the team.
 The conditions that exist at Harvard and Yale have practically been duplicated at the other colleges. At Princeton and Penn- sylvania a particularly early start was made so as to give the scores of candidates to show what they had in them, and at both universities The result has been all that could have been anticipated At Brown and Cornell the interest in the sport is just as Rreat so that the outlook for A closely contested season is far brighter than it has been at this time of year for many a season.

An Excuse That Failed

From the fnlladelpn1a POSI-.
 Charles Miller, Standard oil magnate, whose hame is in Franklin, Pa, has pre- cocious son less than 10 years old in whom hard business sense and worldly caution are highly developed One day MT. Miller said to his son:
 My boy, it's time for you to go to bed. want you to get up bright and early tomor- row and go to church with me-"
 'I don't think I care about going to church tomorrow" replied Master Miller.
 "Why not?"
 Last Sunday the preacher said he was going to preach about the devil.'
 ''Well?'
 "I know he will say lots of hard things about the devil-awful hard things about him.
 'Well?"
 Don't you think, papa, that If we listen- ed to that sermon it would be rather un- pleasant if we ever met the devil some day?"
 But the boy went to church in spite of his clever excuse.
