The iconoclastic tendency of our
time is attacking theories which We
used to consider almost as we'll estab-
lished as the laws of mathematics.
We are now told, for instance, that
the good old rule of early to bed
and early to rise makes man healthy,
wealthy and wise," is not only non.
sense, but really bad thing; that
persons should not go to bel until
they are sleepy, and, as far as possible,
not rise until they feel like it. Now,
this new theory is contrary to common
sense, observes the Atlanta journal.
The habit of early retiring and early
rising can be cultivated like any other
habit, and everybody who has tried
both plans will testify that habitual
practice of early to bed and early to
rise is better than late to bed and late
to rise. Night is natures appointed
time for rest, and those who are COM
PEELED to work at night and sleep dur
ing the day, are, as rule, less vigor-
Gus and less healthful than those who
get a good nights rest.

The Blble and Gold Leaf.

1t is used in the golf-leaf trade, the
gold leaf being packed in books made
of paper leaves cut from the Bible.
There is no intention on the part OF
the dealers to be irreverent in thus
using the pages of the Bible, but il
has become universal practice in the
trade. Most of the gold leaf goes to
shops where artists materials are
sold, and it is packed between printed
sheets because the slight indentations
in the paper made by the printing
serve to hold the delicate film OF gold
in place. The reason for using the
Bible sheets is that the Bible is usual.

feet long and ten feet wide. Its aver
age speed is seven to ten miles an
hour, and it is called the "Alessandro

mechanical form of propulsion other
than the gondola is to be regretted as

Ipcredulous as to Its Origin,

A party was being shown over the
British Museum. In one of the rooms
the keeper pointed out collection of
antique vases, which had recently
been dug up at Herculaneum.
"Dug up, sir?" echoed one of the
party.
"Yes, SIR
"What, out of the ground?"
"Undoubtedly."
"What, just as they now are?"
"Perhaps some little pains have
been taken in cleaning them, but in
all other respects they were found
just as you see them"
The wise man turned to one of his
companions, and with an incredulous
shake of his head, whispered:
"He may say what he likes, but he
shall never persuade me that they dug
up ready made pots out of the ground"

he being the father of seven children. Mr..
Parsley died in January last, leaving an
estate which included about 900 acres of
land lying north. of Broad Ripple He left
a will which provided that his wife should
be supported for life from the proceeds Of
his land. i-ss
She declined to take under the will and
brought suit to secure the one-third which
she claimed she was entitled to as the wife
of the decedent. Under ordinary circum-
stances she would be entitled to the one
third demanded If she declined to accept
the provisions Of the will, but her STEP
children have a defense and that is the
claim that when their father and Mrs. ST.
Clair were married they entered into an
ante-nuptial contract, 1t is claimed that in
this contract it was provided that, If the
husband died first, the wife was not to
claim any of his estate. and If the wife
was the first to die. the husband should re-
ceive no part of her estate.
This contract has not been produced in
court and the plaintiffs attorneys assert
that no contract of this kind was made.
They say that there was no ante-nuptial
agreement as to the disposition of the land
of either husband or wife. 1t is the theory
Of the defense that the contract was either
lost or destroyed. The case is attracting a
good deal of attention from those who
know the Parsley family, and Judge Allen
is preparing himself to settle a knotty
problem.
