How Much sleep Io Necessary :

A proper amount of sleep is, of
course, absolutely essential to con-
tinued good health. but. If dietetic
habits are correct, It is a matter
which will regulate itself. If rule Is
needed, one will follow naturally
from the fact that almost everyone
feels lcnguid on waking and is dis
posed to take another nap. no matter
how long he has been sleeping. This
is morbid sensation which it would
take too long to explain here. 1t is
enough to say that lack of sleep
should be made up. II possible, at the
beginning and not at the end. The
best general rule is to rise at a CIV

or not. and so to bed when sleepy

WHEN CLOUDS ARE WELCOME
Baseball Players Have No Use fol
Clear Skies.

The professional baseball player
doss not let day go by without an
anxious look toward the sky as the
time draws near for the days game,
to gee whether there any any ''angels'
lowering overhead. If there is any
thing In nature which the ballplayer
dislikes more than another II is a
cloudless sky. An absolutely clear
sky is to the ballplayer a high sky,
and on such days II is more difficult
to Judge fly ball than under any
other conditions. The glare or SHIN
mer in the air when looking ct bright
blue, cloudless sky has its effect on
the eye and In a sense disturbs vision
and accuracy in Judging the course
OF the descending ball. At least that's
what all ballplayers say, and they
ought to know. So the clear sky, or
high sky. is their pet aversion.

STOVE IN THE POCKET.
Chinese Ward OF Winters Risors by
Carrying Hand Furnaces.

The contented smile of the heather

for by their indifference to the cold
ness of the winter months For in
the north of China they care not
whether they be indoors or out: they
always have stove with them in the
shape Of hand furnace. Instead of
the fire being placed in the house it
is carried about the person. beneath
tho thickly padded cotton garments
or in the hand: at times 1t is placed
beneath the chair on which the Celes-
tiaI is seated. The discovery of this
UNIQUE method of avoiding winters
rigors was made by a traveller in Fu-
kien province, whose attention was at
tracted to the universal and peculiar
deformi.ies of its inhabitants. Strange
swellings projected in the most unac-
countable places on the anatomy OF
the villagers. Speculations were set
at rest by an old gentleman. who re-
moved his coat and disclosed a small
copper furnace secured around his
waist with a band and neatly covered
with basket work This artificial
mode OF warming the body is only re-
sorted to in time of extreme cold. as
on ordinary occasions the people deem
their thick clothing sufficient pro-

THE season of catching cold is upon
II us. The cough and the sneeze and
nasal twang are to be heard on every
hand. The origin of chronic catarrh, the
most common and dreadful Of diseases, is
a cold.
This is the way the chronic catarrh gem
orally begins. A person catches cold,
which hangs on longer than Usual. The
cold generally starts in the head and
throat. Then follows sensitiveness of the
air passages which incline one to catch
cold very easily. At last the person has a
cold all the while seemingly, more or less
discharge from the nose, hawking, spit
ting, frequent clearing of the throat, nos
trils stopped up full feeling in the head
and sore, inflamed throat.
The best time to treat catarrh is at the
very beginning. A bottle of Peruna prop
erlv used never fails to cure a common
cold, thus preventing chronic catarrh.
While many people have been cured Of
chronic catarrh by single bottle of
Peruna, yet, as rule, when the catarrh
becomes thoroughly fixed, more than one
bottle is necessary to complete cure
Peruna has cured eases innumerable
of catarrh of twenty years. standing
1t is the best, IL not the only internal
remedy for chronic catarrh In existence.
But prevention is far better than cure
Every person subject to catching cold
should take Peruna at once at the slight
est symptom of cold or sore throat at
this season of the year and thus prevent
what is almost certain to end in chronic
c2tarrh.

SHARKS IN rospgoo WORK.
Suggestion That the Great Fish Be

All sorts of queer devices are of.
sered the army board Of ordnance and
fortihcations as engines of destruc-
tion. One of the strangest sugges-
tions OF this kind yet presented to the
consideration OF the board contem-
plates the use of large fish. prefer
ably sharks, for the propulsion OF sub
marine torpedoes- According to tho
plan proposed a shark is to be I'M
prisoned in tube at the rear end of
the projectile. and is TO be controlled
In Its movements by the active appli-
cation of wireless telegraphy.
In case the shark became restless
and attempted to swim away on his
own account it was to be given an
electric shock, and in that way kept
on its course until the torpedo had
reached Its target. Another remark
ably ingenious proposition emanated
from the same fertile brain, and con-
templated the employment of war
balloons in any desired direction. In
this case also the birds, harnessed
to the aerial vehicles, we're to be con
trolled in their movements by n sys-
TEN of wireless telegraphy These
balloons were to be provided with
torpedoes, or bombs, which could be
dropped at any desired point by the
use OF wireless telegraphy.

FRAUDS IN a BALE OF HAY.

According to m article in the Cincinnati

Those cases are made by companies who
profess TO be honest but furnish the means

Another trick the makers of spurious
solid gold watch cnscs Is to stamp the case

not stamp any article made out OF gold
and silver except coin, and the fnldr, by
using this stamp, wants to make the public
