DEATHS VISITS IN SLEEP.

Apopiexy Frequently Attacks Its Vic
Tins While They sIumber.
The frequent occurrence of apoplexy
during sleep was illustrated in the case
of Colonel Albert ID. Shaw. He had
made patriotic speech during the
evening and had retired In apparently
good health. In his instance there was
a combination Of causes to bring about
the result-a banquet, mental excite
ment, probable Indigestion and a CO.
incident lowering of vital tone. In
some respects the circumstances were
similar to those attending the demise
of Henry George. who was likewise
stricken after forced efforts on the
platform. Why the accident in ques-
ton should occur at time when all
the bodily functions are seemingly at
rest is at first thought somewhat diff
ficult to explain. When. however, the
arteries Of the brain become brittle by
age the slightest change of blood pres
sure is often enough to precipitate
rupture Of those vessels and cause the
escape of a clot either upon the sur
face or into the substance of the brain.
High mental tension. being always as
ISOLATED with congestion, is in itself
an active predisposing cause of apo
plexy. This condition is apt to con-
tinue during a more or less troubled
sleep, and with an overtired nervous
system there is less resistance to over
stretching Of the cerebral arteries than
during the waking hours. Nature. in
stead Of rebounding, simply succumbs.
The fullness Of the vessels increases
until the final break occurs. Generally
the effusion of blood is sufficiently
large to be followed by instantaneous
death, causing one sleep to pass quiet
py into the other. AS evidence of this
peaceful ending, 1t is often noticed
that the patients are found as II in
natural slumber. comfortably lying on
the side, with bedclothes undisturbed
and with countenance perfectly calm.

A Plan TO .SfarOe En9Iond.

A Chicago expert in statistics sets
forth the interesting theory that IL
England and Russia were to go TO war
the most important battle would be
fought in Chicago. He thinks Russia
would strike at England's weakest
point by trying to starve out the island
nation, and that this would be done.
not by blockading English ports. but
by cornering American wheat and
-four. The British get nearly one-half
their bread-stuffs from America. and
il the American and Russian supply
were suddenly cut off it might cause
famine prices in London. The statis-
tician thinks Russia would only have
to send a few skillful agents to Chi
cago and to other grain centers to buy
up the whole American surplus for
months ahead. He admits this might
run up the price to $3.50 a bushel be-
fore the deal could be completed. but
re thinks Russia could afford to buy
200. 900, 900 bushels at that rate and to
stand the loss upon II after the close
Of the war. He thinks lack OF food
would bring England to the point OF
surrender In q few months

FOR THE YOUNG MOTHER.
Unnecessary Attentions Make Young Chill
dren the Tyrauts of Household.

Unnecessary Attentions Make Young Chill
dren the Tyrauts of Household.
A writer in the Nursery makes a
plea for the young mother who too Of
ten Is neglected and even ill-treated
while the baby absorbs all the atten-
ton Of the nurse and relatives. To be
clean, to be warm, to be fed when nee
essary, to be let alone-this would be
the beau ideal of the baby, only the
first few days of its existence, at any
rate. 1t can hardly see or hear much
less speculate about its surroundings.
But the mother; ah, the young moth
err; hers is the keenness Of perception,
the nervous tension, the capacity for
silent suffering that no other kind of
sick-bed affords. Let her have a
glimpse Of her husband or her mother,
II she be so happy as to have one,
and then rest-a long rest. Too often
the jealousy and the ill-concealed mall
ice of those about her is already mani
fest. Never Is the bottomless capacity
for cruelty in some hearts
better shown than in the
senseless attentions Of meddle-
some relatives to the baby, coupled
with covert cruelty to the young
mother, weighed down with the help
lessness of new and untried response
bilities. II the baby cries the mother,
is at fault; IL every bit Of useless
trumpery is not at hand the mother
must be awakened, and so on ad infini-
tum. Happily this is not always the
case, but We see it too often; too often
is the dark side of nature exposed at
this time. The baby needs care from
those who are best able to give it. but
it is the mother who needs rest and
sympathy. One hardly knows which
she needs most. She is the true mar
tyr here. Let the curtains be drawn
and let the house be still. Between
the hours Of pain which are past and
the mtried responsibilities which are
to come, let her have such surcease of
care as we can give her. The constant
handling and the unnecessary atten-
lions received by young infants and.
indeed. by older children result too
often in making the child the tyrant
of the household, and in doubling the
mothers labor.

SAYINGS and DOINGS
Edmund Clarence .Sfedman.

Gamma Clarence SEedWdU.
Edmund Clarence Stedman, whom
literary paper has pronounced the
"surest and sanest critic of poetry
now before the public" is indisputa-
bly, the foremost living American poet.
He began his literary career as a re-
porter for the New York Tribune.
He had already obtained his
degree of master from Yale and
Dartmouth. For his elctures during
1892 at Columbia that university con-
ferred upon him its literary doctor
ate, aud in the same year he pub
lished his able and analytical work
on The Nature and Elements OF
Poetry" The lectures at Columbia
had been already delivered at Johns
Hopkins as the initial results OF the
Turnbull foundation. Mr.. Stedman's
poetry was published at various times
and in various forms between the
years 1860 and 1884. His public is
not SO large in America as it is in Eng
land, owing to the lack Of appreciation

+. 4 DOG WHO DIDN'T GOLF.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
The first contest of the crack players
OF newly opened golf field out West
was sadly interrupted by the obstinate
conduct of mean bull terrier. He
took possession of the second hole.
and defied dislodgment. AS he is a
robust terrier, with full set of large
and we'll preserved teeth, it was
deemed unwise to attempt to dislodge
him by force. Diplomacy was substi-
tuted;y but it didn't. work. He resisted
all the usunl terms of endearment. as
well as the promises of tender steaks
and seductive bones. In addition to
guarding the hole, he took possession
OF o. ball that happened to roll near
him, and which he worried from time
to time with low cultural remarks. Y.
At last accounts. the dog was still
holding the fort, and the discouraged
golfers were debating whether they
had better engage skilled marksman
to shoot the brute or at once take
measures to lay out new golf field.
