In short time the men and women

Effects Of Sleep.


Some amusing stories are told of lit
tie contempts brought about by sleep
ers in church being suddenly awall
ened.
For instance, there is the case of a
Scottish pastor who, in the course oi
his address, had waxed very eloquent
on the subject of the vanity of earthl,
pleasures.
"And what is the price of them?
he was saying, in his most impressive
tones: what, my friends, is the price
we have to pay for these social pleas
ures?"
'Fower-and saxpence the SACK
shouted worthy greengrocer, sudden
ly waking up with the impression that
potatoes were the subject of discus
sion.
Another incident occurred in 8
church in the Sout hof England. The
minister was holding forth as to the
purpose.
"Let Onward be our watchword. my
brethren" he said. LET us be ever
moving forward. Let us advance livery
tmpressively), advance, advance"
At this moment the local auctioneel
slowly staggered to his feet, and, to
the amusement of the congregation
and the horror of the pastor, began
ponderously humping the shell in
front. of him.
Come, gentlemen he vociferated
-Any advance? Any advance on the
last bid? Going. go"
Here he awoke to the situation.

Then he turned to Jane. Darling

might perhaps be his last request. She
drew down his face to hers and kissed
and blessed him, saying, as Saul said
to David, "Go, and the Lord be with

.KAISER'S JAIL Y ii FEI
SECRET OF FRANCIS JosEPH's
HEALTH AND vlGoR. n.
Moderate and Regular Course Of Liv-
ing Has Kept Him Active and in;
Full Possession Of His Mental vigor
at the Advanced Age Of rs.

A member of the Polish aristocracy,
occupying prominent position at the
Vienna court. recently published some
interesting details concerning the
daily life of the Emperor Francis Jo-
seph. On Aug. IS, says this well-in-
formed writer, the emperor entered
upon his 18th year, in full possession
of mental and bodily health. His
great-grandfather, Leopold H., died
comparatively young, at 40; his grand
father, Francis l., at IS, and his father
the Archduke Franz Karl, reached, in.
deed, his 10th year. but for several
years before his death the mental and
bodily energy which distinguished his
son was absent. That Francis Joseph
enjoys such excellent health is easily
explained; it is the result OF his mod
crate and regular course Of life. His
majesty in this respect may be re.
garded us hyGienic model for hi
subjects.
He rises in winter at 5, in summer
half an hour earlier. when he takes a
cup of coffee and a piece of bread. At
s he takes cup of pure tea and a
roll. At ~ he lunches, the meal being
OF the simplest kind, consisting OF
soup and boiled and roast meat, with
which he drinks glass of Bavarian
beer. For dessert he smokes a Rega-
liza cigar; he has gradually disasso
ciated himself from the use of Vir.
sinia tobacco, as the doctors consider
it injurious to the nerves. The Re.
:ya!ias intended for his majesty's use
are prepared with special care at the
Vienna tobacco factory. and are made
OF selected Havana leaves by the
most skillful workmen. Every month
4 box containing 600 cigars is sent to
the Hofburg and paid at the usual
rate. His majesty frequently sends a
case of these choice cigars as pleas
ant surprise to civil, military and
ecclesiastical dignitaries who are
hrown to be especially fond of this
brand.
At o'clock follows the dinner, bu,
however elaborate the menu the en-
peror only partakes of soup, roast
meat with vegetables. cheese and a
glass of beer. This, followed by one
of his favorite cigars, is all that the
monarch allows himself daily He
does not care for wine, but when the
etiquette of toast requires it he sips
q little champagne. At $3.50 the lights
in the imperial apartments are eXtin-
guished and his majesty retires tor
rest. The same order is strictly OBJ
::erved when he travels or attends the
maneuvers. Doctors with nervous pa,
tients would do we'll to recommend
them strict observance of his nlajcs-
tvs regime, which has proved SO ad.

Worried by popular Musie.~

Theodore Hansen. first secretary OF
the Russian embassy in Washington,
is an accomplished musician, being
devoted especially to the piano. Most;
of his spare time is passed lingering
the keys of concert grand which he
has in his apartments. But he is
haunted by street pianos. which seem
to have satanic propensity for cut
ting loose just in front OF wherever
he happens to live. Three times he
has changed his quarters on this ac-
count and he solemnly declares that
unless he can effect permanent escape
from the torment of popular music"
he may be driven to resigning his
position.
