William Nj. Evarts was marvel of
intellectual vitality to an advanced
age. and he used to explain it by say
ing that he slept late in the morning
and never took any exercise. There
Is no advantage in getting up early in
the morning If you need the sleep.
Many a man is burning the candle at
both ends by getting up at an early
hour simply because his housekeeping
Is adjusted to that programme. AS to
physical exercise. Mr.. Evarts had dis
covered for himself what our physiolo-
gists are now beginning to teach
namely. that ii a man consumes tissue
in hard intellectual work the way to
repair the loss is by resting and not
by consuming more tissue In physical
exercise. To the majority of brain
workers oxygenization of the blood Is
far more important than physical exer-
else, and there are two very good ways
to secure that: Sleep with your bed
room window wide open In summer
and winter, and, If you can afford it.

When Lord Thanet was imprisoned
In the Tower Of London for the O'Con-
nor riot. three of his friends. the Duke
of Bedford. the Duke of Laval and
Captain Smith, were admitted to play
whist with him and remain till the
lock up hour of IL. Early in the sit
ting Captain Smith fell back in a fit
OF apoplexy, and one of the party rose
to call for help. "Stopw cried another.

Ierhaps you are an exception to the
rule, but il you are not you have prob
ably on many occasions, just after look
ing at your watch, been forced to ac-
knowledge to q friend who asked you
the time that you did not know what it
was. Yet you undoubtedly took your
tfmepiece out of your pocket, looked at
Its face and carefully replaced it in
your pocket, showing a logical Sc
tsquence of thought and well defined
object, which did not, however, result

preston on your mind to satisfy your
friends curiosity as to the hour of the
day. The motion was not an involun-
tary one, like that of the boy who can
not too often admire his first chroncm-
eter, nor yet habitual for few persons
are merely in the habit of taking out
their watches. One does so only for q
specific purpose.
Now, how may this seeming contra
diction be accounted for? Perhaps the
reason is that not once in ten times
i does man look at his watch to see
I what the actual time is, but rather to
l learn whether he still has time to ac-
complish some purpose. He may want
! to keep an appointment at certain
time or to be sure not to miss boat
z or train. When he takes out his watch,
therefore, he instinctively looks for
the hands in the position called for by
that particular moment, and when he
secs that they have not yet reached
hat point he returns the watch to its
%ssting place, with his mind relieved.
he actual position of the hands real
plays no part at all in the opera
and SO when the time is asked Of
: -nrfh he is unable to reply. In other
words, he accomplishes the paradoxical
feat Of intently looking at thing with
out really seeing it.
