IS that had Russle and Stivetts taken
good care Of themselves instead OF dis

still be pitching high-class BAH and
earning large salaries in either Of the
two big leasUes.
Il venture to say that neither Rusie

Chances in California.
Il think there are plenty more such
chances in Califoria. Harness racing IS
at a very low ebb there. The long run
ming meetings In and around Frisco
have driven the trotters away from
there. and the curtailment Of the State
appropriations for the district fairs
where the best harness races have been
given, has just about stopped the sport
there. The number Of good trotters and
PAGERS that are going to seed there
In consequence Is immense.
California is the greatest horse
breeding region in the wOrld--nO other
place compares with II. They are still
breeding loads of good ones there-but
there Is little incentive to develop them.

POSITION IN SLEEP.
The Connection Between Health and
the Way of the Bed.

The Connection Between Health and
the Way of the Bed.
A French scientist claims to have es-
tablished a distinct connection between
our health and the position which
beds occupy with regard to the points
of the compass. He relies upon the
fact that the sap of trees is gradually
driven toward the east by centrifugal
force, so that they develop more on that
SIDE. This induces him to argue that
when we remain in bed for several
hours with our heads toward the east
this will tend to drive the liquids Of our
body from west to east and our blood
has a tendency to flow toward the
brain, so that'we sleep %uneasily and
find ourselves less fresh when we
awake than If our feet had pointed
eastward.
If our bed stand north and south it is
better to lie with the head northward,
as the centrifugal force acts from north
to south in our hemisphere.
