when people play base ball on
Sunday, they came out of the game
n little the worse for wear and

Monday. Haas.
A large crowd saw most inter
estln9 and hard fought battle be
tween the No1 NAL and the Hays 1st
nile, on the grounds of the former.
iThe game was uncertain for either
side and the poor batting was about
equally divided. 1t was a pitch
er's battle thru and thru, each of
them striking out about fifteen
men. The final score stood to
2 in favor Of the Normal. 1t is
clearly seen that what the Hays
boys need Is practice. and plenty
of 1t.
The Normalites play base ball in
Russell and Gorham against the
1st nine of each of those places ON
Friday and SATURDAY.. We wish
them success, and they certainly
will have it if they play with half
as much zeal &E they did on Mon :

Should one sleep soon after meals?
This is question which American
Medicine answers by saying that If one
has eaten heartily of heavy food he
will best not sleep for two or three
hours after eating. An old English
saw runs, After dinner sit awhile;
after supper walk q mile this being
much like the older Latin saying, Post
epuIas stabis vel passus mile meabis.'
In Italy, where meals are lighter than
in the north of Europe, the saying pre-
walls, 1.-The supperless man losses all
night" but Anglo-SaNons think diSes-
ton halts during sleep. Much. howev-
er, depends, our medical contemporary
thinks. on the kind of food eaten be-
fore sleeping. The aged man digests
with difficulty, which fact is expressed
in the Spanish proverb. who steals an
old mans supper does him no wrong
But habit has much TO do with the
question of safety i'll eating on retiring
