AMERICA AMONG NATIONS.
Our Position Gives Us the Best Ac.
cess to Foreign Markets.

Uncle. Sam has a better business stand
than any of his competitors. BY far the
greater part of the worlds population IS
to live around the Pacific ocean, says
Dr. Josiah Strong in the January Sue
cess It is to be the Mediterranean
the midland sea-Of the future At pres
ent England has a commercial advant-
age in the Pacific but the cutting of the
isthmian canal will transfer that ad-
vantage to the United States If a Brit
ish ship should sail from Liverpool for
Cape Horn and an American ship should
sail from New York for the same Doint
the latter would have to soil $50 miles
farther than the former to reach the
cape, and that means that every port
on the western coast of South America
Mexico and North America is. by water
nearer to LIVERPOOL than to New York
By sea San Francisco is today $50 miles
farther from New York than from
LIVERPOOL
Suppose that the two ships sail from
New York and Liverpool for the Suez
canal The latter ship would have an
advantage of 1900 miles over the former.
which means that all Asiatic and Indian
ports are, by the Suez canal, 1000 miles
nearer to LIVERPOOL than to New York
But when the isthmian canal shall BIS
cut New York will have an advantage
of about I, 200 miles on the average to
the ports of north China. from 500 to D.
700 miles to the principal ports of the
central and western Pacific and from
200 TO 800 miles to the ports of the
eastern Pacific. That is, commercially
speaking, the Pacific is now a British
ocean By reason. therefore, of the loca-
ton OF the United States we shall al
ways have better access to the markets
of the world than any other people. Not
only does our location give us a great
commercial advantage, but it also saves
us hundreds of millions of dollars every
year by freeing US from the burden of a
great standing army such as well nigh
brushes the life out of every great con-

THE JUDGES BURGLAR TRAP
Uniaue Conception That Proved to
NE . Trine Faulty In One Inn
portant rartieuInr.

II was election night at Hawley-
Lurqh. Judge" Moons party had won,
rare experience for the judge, since
Il -sually happened that If theie was
4 chancs Tor his party he got over on
the other side some time before cleo
ton. relates w.lter in Lippincott's.
But the Judge had been too late this
eime. and found himself on the winning
side. He went home very late and
bit uncertain in his mental and phys
ical operations rare thing for the
judge.
The judicial sus spicions were aroused
the instant he entered his front gate.
There was a faint light burning in the
hall. as he could see through the ground
glass door This was unusual, since
Mrs. Moon never encouraged late home
coming by any such concessions. The
Judge knew that something was wrong.
He steadied himself on the piazza and
put his mind on the problem. He set
tied on burglars as the most reason
able explanation; a gang of desperate
criminals were inside plundering his
house. What to do was the next cues
ton. There was night watchman in
Hawleyburgh. but the judge knew that
he was asleep in Bakers wagon shed
long before. The judge felt no desire
to go inside and grapple with the Of
tenders personally. Then brilliant
plan Of action popped into bis head.
The judge lay down fat on his back
and propped up the soles Of his feet
against the door SO that his legs were
shored up at an angle Of about As de-
grees. He clasped his hands across his
breast peacefully and closed his eyes.
There he murmured. "got 'em like
rats in trap-rats in a trap. Hold
door shut with feet-shut with feet
so burglars can't get out-can't get
outA-with plunder-plunder. When
strengthened and refreshed with rest
with rest-shall 60 in and seize 'em--
20 In and seize 'em. Burglars like rats
in trap-rats in trap-trap." The
court slumbered.
As the level rays Of the rising sun
shot across the veranda Mrs. Moon
opened the door with decided pull.
The judges heels smote the threshold
with thud. The lady took one step
backward in ominous, awful silence.
The Judge struggled to his feet.
"Doez that door open in2" he de-
manded.
1T does" answered his wife. coldly.
"Ah. / see--I see.s he exclaimed.
eI'm victim Of circumstances-victina
Of circumstances. They slipped out
and replaced my feet. If that door had
opened out Ia al had the finest mess

The amount Of sleep required BY
. woman is subject more often
overlooked than it should be.
A great many energetic women
pride themselves on the few hours
they spend in sleep, while, if they
would only stop to consider, they
are really cheating themselves OF the
gifts nature has endowed them with
that is. beauty and health, says
American Queen.
The results OF too little sleep may
not show at first. but before one
realizes It the woman who thus
cheats herself finds that she is be-
coming nervous and irritable, while
eruptions commence to show on her
skin.
The average woman requires eight
hours Of sleep every night. II she
be . housewife and almost all her
time Il spent in performing house
hold duties, she should try and snatch
at least ten minutes from tho busy
day and forget all care in quiet
''nap."
For woman who is troubled with
insomnia . bath in tepid water be-
fore retiring is quieting to the
nerves. Pure. fresh air in the sleep
ing-room is as necessary as sleep ~

be lowered few inches from the
top.

meal will result in unrefreshing
slumber. At least two or three
hours should eIapse between din
ncr or q hearty supper and bedtime.

Of its digestive work done, and the
system will be in . condition for
complete repose.
Frequently the position in bed, the
arrangement Of the pillows. or too
much clothing prevent sleep. 1t il
better to rest the body on the right
side than on the left. as then there
lis no pressure on the heart.
A child should never be allowed
to sleep in the same room with an
invalid or an old person, for the
sick and old absorb strength from
the young.
Nothing win cause the skin to be-
come dry, the complexion to become
muddy and the general health to
become impaired 20 soon as too lit
tie or unrefreshing slumber.
