Ills We have or think we have, a London jour
nal asks, DO we sleep enough
The question would have been promptly
answered IN the affirmative by cur grandfathers
and grandmothers, who devoted the day 10
work and the night chiefly TO sleeping after
the chores were done Fifty or hundred years
ago thore was no one to question the wisdom
Of the maxim early to bed and early 10 rise,
with its assuring promise Of health, wealth and
wisdom as the result OF its observance.
But times have changed, and men and women
have changed with them, and the old proverb
no longer holds good in cities at least. Now,
as the London paper says the world IS rapidly
becoming divided into two classes the unem-
ployed and the overworked. and neither class
sleep enough. the overworked because they de
vote to amusement the hours which should be
given 20 sleep and the unemployed rich be
cause they turn night into day. The natural
cOnsequence-nervous disorders, mental break
downs and feverish dscontent-can only he
avoided by returning TO natural ways Of work
ing and living, and especially Of sleeping. AS
long ago as 1888 DR.. !. Leonard Corning, OF this
city, in q monograph entitled Brain Rest: A
"Disquisition the Curative Properties Of Pro
"longed Sleep" gave the scientific and medical
reasons for regarding sleep as one Of the great
est OF curatives in the nervous disorders so com

AZ Albany than II deserves. There may not be
serious danger Of its passing, but 1t ought 10 De

no need os taking the parks for q purpose 70

deed. Il is doubtful whether the shorter school
day IS not advsntag eOus to them. In other
cities such an arrangement IS deliberately made
for the youngest children, in the belief that
more hours OF study and confinement would
harm them.
The small parks were created largely IN order
that the children Of the poor might have the
benefit Of fresh air and exercise. For that pur-
pose they are exceedingly valuable-of FAR
greater value, we believe, TO the children for
whom school buildings erected IN them would
provide sittings than the additional hours OF
study could be. They ought TO be kept for the
uses they were designed TO serve. II they were
once appropriated for another purpose there is
no telling how long they would be retained.
There is no reasonable excuse for adopting such
a costly expedient and the idea ought 10 be
abandoned. 1t IS against public sentiment and
sound public DOliC-.

airship from the place it landed in 81.
Louis county. after its unsuccessful
flight to the Worlds Fair aeronautic
concourse. the lead rome was dragged
from the hands OF Baldwin's assist
ants, and the airship broke loose and
SCARED into the air When last seen
the airship was drifting rapidly in a
northwestern direction.
In the dim light projected by the
nearest arc light the yellow balloon
loomed indistinctly, but for enough
space OF time to show that the light
vsnd was carrying it toward the north
west
There was absolutely nothing for
Baldwin. Knabenshue and the other
members Of the party to do but accept
the situation and make the best of Il.
After some little discussion as to the
probable length OF time that the sup
ply of gas would sustain the airshlp,
Baldwin said he believed the Arrow
would descend to the ground within
an hour The party then proceeded to
the concourse, where the announce.
ment that the airship had escaped
caused general CONSERVATION among
the crown that remained, expecting to
see the Arrow brought back.
