NECESSITY OF SLUMBER.
Death by SleepIessness "A Chinese
Punishment.


"A person absolutely without sleep
for nine days will die" says a writer
IN Ainslee's. ,"Sufferers from insomnia
sometimes maintain that they have
gone for weeks without sleeping, but 1t
has been proved that they do sleep
without being aware of it. At a GER
tain point sleep is inevitable. no mat
ter what the bodily condition, the al
tentative being death. Prisoners have
slept on the rack of the inquisition.
And the Chinese found that only the
greatest ingenuity and vigilance could
carry out Il sentence of death by sleep
lessness. This mode of capital punish
ment was long in favor in China and is
said to be so today, while as a form of
torture deprivation of sleep is consid-
cred one of the most etlicacious weap-
ons in the Chinese judicial arsenal.
In some such cases the prisoner Is
kept in n cage too small TO stand up or
lie down in and constantly prodded
with sharp rod. Death by starvation,
also Chinese punitive method, is
slower process and therefore, one
would think, more calculated to appeal
to the oriental mind if it We're not
that death by sleeplessness is thought
so much more painful. In the lat
ter case the brain is the first affect
ed of all the organs of the body, while
in case of starvation the brain longest
retains its normal weight and charac-
ter.
"a corresponding mode of tanning
wild elephants is said to be depriving
the animals of sleep when first caught.
In few days they become compare
lively spiritless and harmless. The
brain of the elephant is held to be
more highly developed than that of
any other wild animal, but of course
as compared with a human brain can
be easily fatigued by new impressions
and so made very dependent on sleep.
The wild elephant in his native jungle,
however, is said to sleep very little-a
further point for the theory of the uni
versal ratio of sleep to intelligence.
A man taken out of his habitat and
placed in conditions which he never
could have imagined-if transported
to Mars. say-wOuld doubtless need an
extraordinary amount Of sleep at first.
There is the almost parallel case of a
German boy, Casper Hauser, who up
to the age of eighteen was kept in one
room where he had no intercourse with
human beings or sight of any natural
object, not even the sky At eighteen
he was brought to Nuremberg and
abandoned in the street. For the first
few months of his life among men he
slept almost constantly and so soundly
that it was very hard to wake him."

ORCHARD AND GARDEN

The average life Of raspberry planta

With grapes the rule should be to dr.

For roofing the best cutting of .

ing it from the cold winds of winter
and the hot suns of summer.
Cut the young trees back when plac

that are bruised or broken in any way
Fruit trees cannot thrive on all kinu:
of exhausted soil. The trees will max,

Astronomical Solutions.

Though 800 years have elapsed since
the death of Tycho Brahe, it appears
that we are in many lines almost rs
far from the ultimate goal as when he
began the great work of exploring the
skies before the days of Kepler, when
all Europe was slumbering in intellec
tual darkness. The science Of the stars
indeed has been refined and perfected
in an unparalleled degree and infinitely
extended in all directions, but with the
bounds of darkness pushed back step
by step the goal is not and never will
be in sight An infinity Of objects and
causes and an endless variety of phe-
nomena are yet TO be explored, and the
work of the mind is rather a process
OF development to the perfect under
standing of the universe than the solu-
ton of a simple mathematical problem.

Frank stockton and Poetry.

Frank Stockton never could write a
successful poem. In this connection
the novelist frequently told Il good stO
ry on himself. In his youth in con
junction with his brother John he
wrote many poems with which he af-
flicted the editors of various Canadian
periodicals.. The illusions always
came back. The editor of one maga-
zine was an especial target of the
Stoclltons. but as none of their poems
was ever accepted the brothers came
to the conclusion that the editor had
no conception of good poetry.
To prove their belief they hunted up
and dispatched to him an ode, little
known, by Milton. Within two days
they received a check and letter of
thanks. Il came TO the conclusion that
that editor knew poetry when he saw
It after ALL" Mr.. Stockton used to say
"and gave up trying to write it."-Phil

One woman's Way of Painting.

The bright wife of bright Philadel-
phia newspaper man has to do some of
the housework herself as her hus-
bands income does not justify the lux
ury of employing help. The other day,
finding out that the floor needed paint
ing, she procured the necessary mate
rails and early in the afternoon set to
work
When her husband returned in the
early evening, he found her in tears in
the center of the room. She had paint
ed the floor all around herself, and
there she was, on little dry island in
the middle, afraid of crossing the wet
paint for fear of spelling all her work.
Her husband, instead of initiating Sir
Walter Raleigh, procured board and
released her from durance vile. Then
he meanly told the story.-Philadel-
