SALOON FOR SHARP COUNTY.

Last Wednesday County Judge Cal win Mobley granted saloon license to John L. Eady, who will open up bus mess at Hardy. Although the county went "dry" at the last election, it is contended that as the northern dis
 trict voted for license, that portion of the county is entitled to saloons. Other counties in this state, which have two districts, take this view of the matter, and saloon license is granted in one district, if it votes for the liquor license. John L. Eady appeared be- fore the court, by his attorney, Hon. T. l. Herrn, and advocated that the northern district is entitled to saloons by reason of it's vote at the late elec- tion, with the result that the license was granted Sharp County Record.

nillinxtun,s Sen.

Two or three miles back Of Plym-
outh Mass, Is modest little pond
called Dillinston's sea. Ellington, an
adventurous pilgrim, had climbed
tree and, looking westward, had
caught sight of the shimmering water.
He looked nt 1t with wise surmisc,
and then the conviction flashed upon
him that he had discovered the goal Of
hardy mariners-the great south sea.
That was great moment for Billing
ton.
OF course the Spaniards were more
fortunate i'll their geographical posi-
ton. 1t turned out thnt it was the
Pacific that they saw from their peak
of Daricn, while Billington's sea does
not grow on acquaintance.
But my heart goes out to Ellington.
He also was discoverer, according to
his lights. He belonged to hardy
breed and could stare ON new scenes
with the best Of them. 1t was not his
fault that the Pacific was not there.
II 1t had been, Ellington would have
discovered 1t. We know perfectly well
that the Pacific ocean does not lave the
shores of Plymouth county, and SO we
should not go ont into the woods on n
fine morning to look for it. There ia
where Ellington had the advantage Of

sauarinR the Circle.

Tie origin of the problem squaring
the circle Is almost lost In the mists of
antiquity. but there Is II record of an
attempted luadrature in Egypt 500
years before the exodus of the Jews.
There is also claim, according to
Hone. that the problem was solved by
a discovery OF IIippocrates. the geo.
metrician of Chios-not the physician
500 b. c. Now, the efforts Of Hippoc-
rates were devoted toward converting
a circle into n crescent, because he had
found that the area of figure pro-
duccd by drawing two perpendicular
radii in II circle is exactly equal to the
triangle formed by the line of junction.
This is the famous tlleorem of the
"lunes of lIippocrates" and is, like
glauber's salts out of the philosophers
stone, an example of the useful results
which sometimes follow a search for
the unattainnble.

while we sleep to live. Sleep is Of far
greater importance than food for the
preservation of life. Sleep is the chief
est thing in physic. 1t has neither sub
stitute nor rival. Take away sleep
hope even is gone; nothing is left.
Most of the mischievous stories told
about the ability of great men to do
without sleep are untrue, and the fool
isl man who reads that Napoleon slept
only three or four hours at night and
cuts down his own hours of sleep
might better open Il Vein and lose II
quart of blood than lose the sleep
which is life Itself 1t is undoubtedly
true that Napoleon, an inconceivnbly
foolish, reckless man In matters af-
fccting his physical welfare, did de-
privc himself of sleep in his early
years. but he paid for 1t dearly. In
his last battles his power of resistance
was SO slight that he actually went to
sleep during the fighting. Chronic
drowsiness weakened his brain, weak
ened his force Of character. The foun-
dation of his downfall was laid In Rus
sa, when lack Of sleep and unwise liv-
Ing generally had taken away his men,
tai elasticity, deprived him of all pow
