his soldiers call him, afectionatey, "Marse Boil"

make them safe. Never have man and commander

An rGterprisng Chicagoan has proposed
the innovation of putting dining cars on
the local cable lines. This seems to be an
other device TO cultivate the great Amerl-
can habit OF hurrying. After the electri
cal dining car has been in operation a few
months. Chicago will doubtless be able TO
furnish some interesting statistics on the
growth OF Indigestion. The comparatively
recent agitation for the organization OF
Don't Worry clubs might very properly
be supplemented by the formation OF a few

hustling that is making the patent medl-

eral habit of going TO the theatres and
other places of amusement; and there is
more social life than there used to be.
All these things have contributed TO push
the working day away from the hour OF
sunrise and bring the hour of retiring
nearer midnight; yet no one seems to be
less healthy, wealthy. or wise on ac-
count of II.
As to the healthfulness of the change.
but one thing can be said with certainty:
1t is always bad for people to be deprived
OF the sleep which they naturally require.
The number of hours needed to keep up
the vital energy varies greatly. and no one
person can prescribe the time required for
another. Any change which leads people
TO cut an hour or two off their needed rest
tends TO insanity, dyspepsia, and nervous
diseases in general. IT, en- the contrary.
it leads them to take the rest which they
naturally require in the morning. instead
OF sleeping with one ear open for the
sound of an alarm clock, and dragging
brains still befogged with dreams. then it
is a good change and should be encouraged.
There are many persons who cannot get
the sleep they need during the first part
of the night. and fail TO get any benefit
from their nights rest II they are awaken
ed early in the morning. That is con-
stitutional popularity, often found in nerv
Gus and sensitive women Such women are
apt to lie awake for hours. thinking over
the events of the day and planning their
work for the morrow; and they are only
fairly asleep when they are called to be-
gin work again. This necessity-some-
times 1t really ought not to be called by
that name-probably has something to do
with the number OF farmers wives to be
found in lunatic asylums. Continual lack
Of sleep will tell on the strongest con-
stitution, and the women who live on
farms are apt to be morbidly conscientious,
sensitive, and ambitious creatures. who
feel that sleeping late in the morning is
one of the cardinal sins. That Is where
the wickedness Of the old proverbs infiu-
ence comes in.
Most people, however, especially those
engaged in manual labor, will do their best
work in the daytime; and, in fact, must do
It then. In general this is much better than
working at night, because artificial light,
as a rule, pollutes the atmosphere and is
bad for the eyes. We are not in much
danger OF becoming nation of owls; but
II matters can be so arranged that the ma
jority of the population can do business
without rising before daylight, ana not be
obliged to work in the evening unless they
so desire, We shall be just as well off as
we were in Benjamin Franklin's time,
Wien a working day OF fourteen to six
teen hours was not at all unusual. and to
make living the thrifty man had to use
the chickens for his alarm clock.

right to Try TO impress upon the minds OF

is thought that by starting a strong ia

harsh things about the amiable Mr. Nc

hair is jet black, with strand OF grey

quite long and brushed straight back from
his forehead and ears. His face is narrow

very much as an Indian is understood to
walk. He never Strengthens his knees as
he strides along the marble corridors or
the House carpet; the heel and ball of his
foot touch the floor at the same instant,
and his toes turn in. He has n slow. swing
