GET FAT WHILE YOU SLEEP.
Ingenious Scientist Discovers Anti
dnfe for Leannesa.

Ingenious Scientist Discovers Anti
dote for Leanuess.
An ingenious scientist has discovered
that an extra hours sleep daily will
in one year amount to a saving Of two
and half pounds Of fat, says the New
York Tribune. But another genius and
friend of man has prepared table,
by which it appears that this annual
saving in fat due to 365 hours extra
sleep Is too low. According to this,
one hour lying asleep consumes OBJ
ounces Of fat; one hour lying awake
consumes DAG ounces Of fat; one hour
standing consumes 0.55 ounces Of fat,
and one hour Of walking at moderate
pace IL ounces of fat.
Guided by these figures, one can esti-
mate approximately what amount Of
fat is consumed, say, by lighting the
fire, setting the table and getting break
fast every morning in the year or In
walking downtown, reading the papers,
shopping, and divers other familiar
tasks of man and woman. But the
most important aspect of the fat-saying
process Is in Its relation to the morn
Ing nap. 1t Is the need of saving ones
flesh that makes one like to lie abed OF
mornings. Laziness has nothing what
ever to do with it. Reluctance to arise
with the lark, which has always been
regarded as moral obliquity Is thus
seen to be a physical necessity, due to
the too, rapid wasting Of the fatty It's
sues by mental or physical labors.
The bearings of these figures are
really of Importance to women. Grant
ed that they are true, 1t seems to lie
within ones power to be fatter or
leaner at pleasure. The four or five
pounds of fat saved in the course of n
year by an extra hour IN bed mornings
may stand between woman and
many an emergency. American women
as a rule, are nervous. Physicians say
their nerves lie too near the surface
and are not well covered. Innumer-
able women are plain because of ex-
cessive thinness. 1t Is absolutely es-
sential for them to gain flesh IL they
ever hope to be good-looking Shy
locks pound Of flesh may make the
difference between belle and n wall
flower, IL added to the face, not taken
from the neighborhood OF the heart.
Some people, as Mrs. Deland says,
would be fat on straw; others are 20

A new health culture Is being intro
duced in Chicago by Mrs. Pauline Hen

with dumbbells, Indian clubs and the
like. The system, which Is to make
the class beautiful, healthy and care
free, consists simply of taking some
long breaths. more long breaths and
thinking happy thoughts while the
lungs are inflated Women adopting the
system are said to become perfectly
entranced with it and prone to take
deep breaths on the slightest occasion,
presumably at the same time thinking
happy thoughts. Prof. Hugo E Prues-

In the section dealing with the tim
Der and stone law in the last annual
report Of the Commissioner of the Gen
eral Land Office is found this passage:
1.-THE law has been too often violated
Individuals without funds Of their own
have been employed to make entries
for others with large capital, and who
paid the expenses, and some wealthy
spectators have made enormous for
tunes" OF the lands that have thus
been fraudulently acquired large part
would have been available for agricul-
ture to actual settlers. In SO far as
these lands have fallen into the hands
of others than settlers, the purposes
Of public land policy have been de-
feated, and thereby distinct injury has
been done to the nation as a whole.
President Roosevelt in his last annual
message to Congress insisted that the
remaining public lands, so far as they
are available for agriculture, SHOULD
be held rigidly for the home builder,
the settler who lives on his land, and
for no one else" He indicated not
merely the timber and stone act, but
the desert land law and the commuta-
ton clause of the homestead law as
having been perverted from their true
purpose, and as being in great need of
amendment or repeal. A propaganda
for the repeal of these laws was start
ed last winter by the National Bust
ness League, and other organiza tons
have taken the matter up also. Desert
lands in whole sections are sold for
$1.25 an acre, and timber and stone
lands in quarter sections go for $3.50
an acre. The General Land Commits
sioner estimated at the close Of the
fiscal year 1902 that in timber lands
alone the government had given away
property actually worth $130OOO,0OO
for $13 100000. In the fiscal year 1908
the sales under the timber and stone
act amounted to practically one-third
as much as all previous sales in the 20
years since the act was passed The
rapidity with which the public domain
is being seized under these acts should
stimulate Congress to early action in
whatever form it deems advisable.

The WAY Home.

When the Bishop Of Truro, DR.. Colt,
was Dean of Worcester, says writer
in V. c., his t-mindedness was
so notorious that he earned for him
self the sobrlquet OF Dean For Colt"
On one occasion he had invited some
friends to dine with him. On their
arrival, short time before the dinner
hour, he suggested that in the interval
of waiting his friends would perhaps
like to walk through the grounds.
After spending about quarter of an
hour in admiring the flowers, shrubs
and greenhouses, they suddenly came
upon door in the garden wall
"Ah," said the dean to his aston
ished guests, this will be much
nearer way for you to go home than
by going back to the frontr' and for
getting his invitation, he opened the
door and bowed them out.

In place Of the steerage has come
"the third cabin" on some of the more
modern steamships. The change Is
not merely in name, but denotes an
Improvement In the crowded life of
ships which is comparable to the i'm
provement In tenement houses on

rooms in the steerage fitted as the first

with revolving chairs, and furnished
with a printed bill Of fare from which
varied and palatable meals are served.
Similar improvement Is noticeable in
the sleeping accommodations. where
privacy and comfort are now respect
ed. There Is even a piano, and the
daily runs of the vessel are bulletined

Hidden Crackers.

In the preface to Gall Hamilton's
poems, published under the title,
"Chips, Fragments and Vestiges," the
sister of the dead author says that a
few yellowed papers exist covered with
her verses written in childish hand.
One such sheet has the heading,
"Chips and Parings." Another Is called
''Mary A. Dodge's Scribbles." These
were all written before she was IL
years old. But the earliest, written
when she was g. is the best.

Old coffee-pots all made of tin,

Now though we all like crackers well,
And bakers have enough to SELL
Yet we all eat them up so fast
That mother hides to make them last.
This "uoem" was solemnly and ST.
lently handed to mother by the little
author, after she had discovered where
the crackers were hidden.

lowered the colors
after the terms of evacuation had been
egreed upon.
Major Hammer, when but 10 years
old, enlisted as a private in the regu-
lar army and was assigned to duty In
Company III, First United States Ar
tdllery, then stationed at Fort Moultrie,
Charleston. In 1860 he was holding
the rank of Quartermaster sergeant Of
the regiment.
When on the night Of December 20,
1860, Fort Moultrie was evacuated and
the garrison taken to Fort Sumter, @.
M. Sergt. Hammer was left behind In
charge of the government quarter
master and commissary stores. The
following morning he received n writ
ten order from the quartermaster at
Fort Sumter to send over the most
valuable Of the stores and to come
over himself with them ON the first
boat. But the plucky young subaltern
saw fit to disregard the order In SO
far as it required him to abandon gov
eminent property left in his charge.
All that day he remained at Moultrie
experimenting and assisting in tho
loading Of stores and army supplies,
part of which consisted Of clothing,
which was subsequently converted
into cartridge bags, then in very linn
tied supply at Fort Sumter. The work
completed, Sergeant Hammer went
over that night with the last boat load
of stores to Fort Sumter, where he re-
NAMED until the fell of that strong
hold.
In the interim from Dec. 81 until
the attack upon Fort Sumter Sergeant
Hammer was busy drilling gun
squad composed entirely of civilian
employees Of the quartermaster's de-
partment, and he had command Of this
squad during the bombardment Of the
fort by the Confederate shore batter
les. The bombardment began on
April II and lasted thirty-two hours,
the garrison under Major Anderson re-
plying with vigor. Late in the after
noon of the 18th Major Anderson
agreed to capitulate. After the terms
of the evacuation Of the fort had been
agreed upon, by which the brave and
loyal garrison and their colors were
to be accorded the honors the gallant
defense deserved, the guns Numbered
their salute to the flag and then, by
order of Major Anderson, Sergeant
Hammer lowered the colors, where
upon the garrison retired and the news
Of the first tragic episode of the great
American Civil War was flashed over
the wires.
While April, 1851, witnessed the fall
Of Fort Sumter and the lowering Of
the stars and stripes, April, 1865, saw
the fall of the Confederacy and the
raising Of the old flag once more over
Sumter Major Hammer, with other
survivors Of the old garrison, was
present and witnessed the ceremony

INCREASING RIVER TRAFFIC.
Notable Era of Prosperity Coming for
Ohio Valley.

Notable Era of Prosperity Coming for
Ohio Valley.
One of the most interesting phases
Of the marvellous developement Of our
internal commerce during the last ten
or twenty years has been the growing
Importance Of the Ohio and it's tribu-
taries, the Ohio and the Mississippi
to-day forming the greatest internal
water way system in the world, with
the possible exception of that formed
by the great lakes. This rapid de-
velopment of the Ohio as carrier OF
commerce has been largely due to the
great industrial development which the
Ohio Valley has been undergoing dur
ing the last ten or twenty years. Just
as the upper Ohio Valley is to-day the
center Of the iron and steel trade of
the world, and at the same time the
greatest producer of coal and coke, SO,
too, does the vast amount of traffic
which has brought this stream to the
front rank among the internal water
ways Of the world originate in the up
per Ohio Valley-Pittsburg and ada
cent sections embraced in the Pitts
burg district, together with southern
Ohio and the northern part of West
Virginia, contributing the major por-
ton Of those varied commercial
products which give the Ohio a vast
annual traffic.
Already the improvement Of the
Monongahela has made the valley one
of the greatest parts Of the Pittsburg
district. Innumerable great iron and
steel manufacturing concerns are now
operating great plants In the valley.
This same effect is now being felt in
the Allegheny Valley, and from Pitts
burg to Cincinnati the Ohio Valley is
one great manufacturing district, fact
due in the largest degree to this inter-
nal water way improvement. Last
year Allegheny County, of which
Pittsburg is the center, and which does
not embrace all the Pittsburg district,
produced more than onethird Of all
kinds Of finished iron and steel
products, and an equally high percent
age of the nonflnished iron and steel
turned out in this country, which fact
reflects some of the advantages
wrought to this section through the
water facilities provided by nature
and improved by the ingenuity Of man.
Since the development Of the btu
minous coal mining Pennsylvania,
Illinois, West Verginia and Ohio, which
largely make up the 10000 square
miles Of territory drained by the Ohio
and It's tributaries, have held the front
rank in this industry, while Indiana
and Kentucky have also been impor-
tant coal-producing states. The COM
bined production Of the Ohio Valley
states In bituminous coal last year was
165 100000 tons, or nearly four-fiths
of the entire production of this country.
With the vast resources of the univer-
sal Industrial fuel upon which these
states are able to draw some idea can
be formed of the phenomenal develop
mont OF the coal traffic on the Ohio and
its tributaries which must take place
within few years, when the improve
ments now under way have rendered
this stream navigable all the year
round, and have extended navigation
to numerous streams now of little i'm
misunderstanding Americn.
