Although 1t Is conceded that the
early bird catches the worm. It is like
wise pointed out that If the worm were
not up and about even earlier than
the bird he would not be caught.
There Is something to be said on both
sides of the early rising proposition. An
English physician, for instance, de-
clares that ito be forced to get up ear
ly grinds the soul, curdles the blood,
swells the spleen, destroys all good in
tentions and disturbs all day the men,
tai activities" He. winds up by de-
clar1ng that criminals are recruited
from the early-rising class-an asser-
ton which is measurably sustained by
the known fact that the burglar man
and his contemporary, the foot-pad,
usually choose the very early morning
hours for the practice of their respect
i've professions Setting aside the eth
ical phase Of the question, however, IT
Is certain that early rising is not a
source of joy to most people. The
average man hates to get up with the
lark, and if there is anything in in
herited instincts the fact that he hates
to get up indicates that it is not good
for him to get up. His disinclination
to arise is natures way of telling him
that he ought to stay in bed. The ia
ther OF Frederick the Great permitted
his children only five or six hours
sleep, declaring that more than that
made people lazy, but 1t Is doubtful
whether any one ever had too much
sleep. If nature be not at fault a man
should sleep until he awakes-not un-
til he is awakened. Nature, that is,
did not intend our slumbers to be reg,l-
lated by an alarm clock. Perhaps.
however, the way to get around the
early -to-rise" difficulty is to practice
the "early-to-bed" maxim. He who
seeks his couch betimes in the even
ing will experience no difficulty In get
ting up while the light is still faint in
the east. He will have had his sleep
out and that, after all, is the desidera-
| tum.

When Jonah went to Joppa he found
no ship, for the vessel on which he in
tended taking passage had sailed two
days before his arrival; but God
caused contrary wind to arise and
the ship was driven back to port. In
his joy Jonah paid his passage money
in advance, contrary to the usual Gus
tom, which did not require payment
until the conclusion of the voyage. Ac-
cording to some, he paid even the full

London Truth gives us some well
the British invasion of Thibet. News
"a good deal Of 1t is rather vague
has been received from time to time
during the past few months concern
ing the progress made by Colonel
Iounghusband's column, but the pub
lie has been left In doubt as to the
exact mission of the colonel and his
men. We are glad to be able, with the
aid of our London contemporary, to
furnish full explanation of the mat
ter. This is Truths exposition: The
frontier between British India and
Thibet traverses districts where there
are mountain pastures, and our main
grievance was that certain Thibetan
goats which were ignorant of the line
of demarkation were in the habit Of
straying into British territory. What
particular harm the goats did by
browsing occasionally on British grass
Is not very clear. In any case, the
damage could not have been consider
able. In 1889 we went to war with
Spain on account of the ear of GER
tain jenkins, which, we asserted, had
been cut Off by some Spanish official,
although it was contended that the
ear was still attached to Jenkins head
1t has, however, been reserved to this
century for this country to engage In
war that promises - be extensive
on account, professedly, of a few wan
dering goats" No doubt there are
carping critics who will declare that 1t
might have been cheaper for Mr.. Bull
to build fence, but we need not give
serious heed to such people. They are
not familiar with the exigencies of
statecraft.
