"gets up when he feels ready, and rarely or

test should be considered carefully by his
fellow countrymen. who. even more than
the British, pride themselves on their ac-
tive habits. Recently, we believe. there has
been founded in New York a society whose
members pledge themselves not to take
more than four hours sleep in the twenty
four. 1t would be interesting to follow the
he alth and life histories of those who keep
this pledge. For we do not suppose that
there is anything dangerous in early ris-
ing In itself. but only in the combinatio
Herewith of going to bed late.
On the whole. 1t Is better to obey the old
proverb and "go to bed with the lamb and
get up with the lark" But 1t Is a different

people who go In for this fashion Of life
are apt to assure others. and themselves
also. that they do not require much sleep.
and undoubtedly 1t Is possible with practice
to do with much less than the normal
amount Of rest. 1t Is important, however,
to remember that such a habit cannot be

Romance of the War.
London Correspondence of the Baltimore Sun

London Correspondence of the Baltimore Sum-
A romantic story of the war, with a very
tragic ending. has reached Paris from Rus
STA. Among the men belonging to ST.
berian regiment stationed at Port Arthur
was a soldier named Liatnikoff who was
popular with his comrades but was often
"chaffed" about his effeminate appearance.
He had been selected as servant by young
officer at whose quarters he lodged. One
unlucky day, while he was on an errand,
he fell and broke a leg Liatnikoff express
ed very strong wish not to be taken to
the hospital. and as he was being conveyed
thither he took a penknife out Of his pocket
and deliberately severed an artery in his
left arm. AS the soldier on his arrival there
was being undressed to be put to bed the
surgeons. to their amazement, perceived
that he was not what he had represented
himself to be- Liatnikoff. in fact, was a
beautiful girl, barely eighteen years of age.
Blood poisoning supervened and the pa
tient had been only three days in the hos
pital when all hope of recovery had to be
abandoned The young woman sent for
the officer in whose service she had been
and tmplored him to marry her, reminding
him that 1t was her devotion to him which
had led her to pass herself off as a man
in order that she might follow him to the
far east. His brother officers are also said
to have pleaded her cause, but for some
unexplained reason he would not listen to
them. AS soon, however as he had heard
of the death of the poor girl who had loved
him 80 well he returned to his quarters and
blew out his brains
The passengers travelling by the night
train recently between Koursk and Harkoff

farewell to the world"
The Russian military authorities says the
Novostf, have sent out to the far east a
number Of popular poets and singers, whose
duty 1t Is to stimulate the courage of the
soldiers with soul-stirring ballads. Every
Russian regiment possesses its party of
singers, at the head of whom are a piper,
a cymbal player and a tambourinist. who
play the peoples songs according to the
province from which they hail.

Do We Eat Too MuchP
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tribune.
Many scientific investigators of the aver
age diet Of civilized people long ago arrived
at the conclusion that most people eat too
heartily. Prof. Chittenden of New Haven.
after his extensive experiments in feeding
soldiers from the regular army on sched-
ules carefully thought out and regulated,
may be able to throw some further light
upon this important everyday subject OF
discussion in families. Heads OF house
holds in great numbers who find 1t a diff
cult task to meet their bills at the grocers
shops and the markets may discover reason
for rejoicing. provided 1T Is made indisputa-
bly, plain that people are really eating too
much. 1t is to be hoped that among the
men of leading and of light In this depart
ment of science something like an agree
ment of opinion may be obtained.
How far should the craving Of healthy.
lively children who get plenty OF OppOi tun1-
ties for playing in the open air be gratified?
The food Of the British soldiers in South
jam as a touch of sweetening to the rations
cheered the spirits of the soldier and made
him fight harder than If he had been an alb
solute stranger to such an indulgence. In
the struggle in the east the commissariat
has not been oYerbountiful to the rifle
bearers either SIDE The Japanese SOL
diers live chiefly on rice and dried fish. The
Russian infantry and cavalry demand a
more liberal diet
Moderation in eating ought to result in
meat and of fish which are now current in
our principal cities. People who take only
one or two meals each day-and there are
many of them-and the devotees of the ex-
elusive consumption of vegetable food feel
a certain sentiment of compassion for the
and are not greatly worried over the high
prices of heShly luxurieS.

certain conditions to about twenty-five Of
ticn, were found to be incapacitated for
service by reason of physical disability con-
tracted In the line of duty. and who were
accordingly retired with the rank to which
their seniority entitled them TO be prompt
ed. The Secretary of War asked whether
the President. by and with the advice ard
consent of the Senate. may now place any
of the officers retired under the act or
1890 upon the retired list of the army with
the rank and pay of one grade above that
heretofore given them on such list.
~ am of opinion" says Acting Attorney
General McReynolds, that officers retired
under the provisions of the act of 1890 have
already been placed on the retired list OF
the army with the rank and retired pay or
one grade above that actually held by them
At the time of retirement. and that during
Ill the time since their names were so
placed upon such list they have enjoyed
the rights and privileges which the Presi-
Senate under the act of April %. 1904. is
now permitted to confer upon other officers
less favorably situated. The actual rank
of officers retired under the act of 1890 was
one grade below that with which they were
placed on the retired list. The purpose of
the act of April y. 1904, was to permit the
President in proper cases. to give officers
an advance of one grade above that which
they have actually held; and as the officers
to whom your inquiry relates have already
received such an advancement that act can
have no reference to them"
This opinion is in exact harmony with an
opinion recently rendered by Judge Advo-
cate General Davis of the army on the
same question.

The Caspian Sea.

From the London Telegraph.
One of the most remarkable physical fea-
lures Of the globe is the deep and wide de-
preston In the hollow of which stands the
Caspian sea. and near to 1t the Sea OF
Aral. The Caspian is nearly as large as
France, and Its surface Is eighty-four feet
below the level of the Black sea. The Sea
of Aral is nearly as large as Ireland. and
Is very little over the sea level. Within
which these lakes are found was sea. Its
floor has been gradually raised. and the
waters filling the depressions are all that
is left of an ancient Mediterranean. A
strange feature of both bodies of water Is
that although they receive large rivers.
especially the Caspian. into which the Vol
ga, the Ural river and scores of streams
from the Caucasus flow. both have for
many years been getting shallower. Evap-
grafton, for they have no outlet, exceeds
the inflow. But for some climatic reason
probably, like Lake Ural and its neighbor.
Lake Balkash. have since 1891 been in
creasing in depth. Nature reports that NJ.
Berg visited Lake BaIkash last summer.
comparative rapldity.. Whereas the Cas-
plan, like the Dead sea. is very salt. owing
to the rate Of evaporation, Aral and Bal
kash are brackish only. These remnants or
what was once q great sea opening into
the ocean. as the Mediterranean Goes now,
still contain marine fish and seals. Some
of the latter survive In the Aral and Baikal
lakes having gradually become fitted Tor
their habitat. though 1t Is no longer SAT-.
but merely brackish. and. In the case OK
Baikal, actually fresh water.
