nation A strong ruler would doubt
less make vigorous effort to Hber-

the car is essentially a weak man.
The unhealthy, pale, almost gray col
or of his complexion betrays his want
of physical health and strength, while
the amazing inconsistencies of his
reign indicate successive surrenders
to conflicting influences. 1t is char
acteristic of his weakness that he
never strikes out new line of thought
or action on his own initiative, and
that his decision on any given ques-
ton of policy is nothing more than
the choice which of two or more

is never a leader like the German en-
peror, but is continually being led by

DANGER IN EARLY RISING.
New York Medical Specialist Says 10
Conduces to Madness

The Hospital ALI the spiritual de
scendants of Sancho Panza, that finest
eulogist of slumber, should bless the
name of DR.. Seiden Talcott of New
York. DR.. Talcott is a specialist i'm
mental diseases, and he declares that
the habit of early rising conduces to
madness. THE free and lazy savage
he says, gets up when he feels ready
and rarely or never becomes insane"
DR.. Talcott's protest should be consid-
cred carefully by his fellow country
men, who, even more than the British.
pride themselves on their active habits.
Recently, we believe, there has been
founded in New York society whose
members pledge themselves not to
take more than than four hours sleep
in the twenty-four 1t would be inter
esting to follow the health and life his
tories of those who keep this pledge
For we do not suppose that there is
anything dangerous in early rising in
itself, but only in the combination
Herewith of going to bed late.
On the whole, il is better to obey tho
old proverb and "go to bed with the
lamb and get up with the lark" But
1t is different thing when one com
bines the attempt to fulfill the latter
part of the advice with a habit of go
ing TO bed with the nightingale Yet
the increasing strain of business com
pels early rising in those who would
succeed while If they want TO combine
pleasure with business they will find it
impossible to get to bed before mid
night or even then, for our amusements
seem to begin and end later every
year. The energetic people who 20 in
for this fashion of life are apt to as
sure others, and themselves also, that
they do not require much sleep, and
undoubtedly it is possible with practice
to do with much less than the normal
amount Of rest. 1t is important, how.
ever, to remember that such a habit
cannot be INDUCED in without a CORE
spending sacrifice of health.

Preserving Cider for Later Use.

Here in Nebraska we have found il
impossible to sell cider that has
worked at any price. We do not think
it is right to use the ordinary preser-
vatives to keep cider, for the reason
that any substance which will prevent
cider working is apt to injure the
stomach. l may say, however, that
late in November, at the advent OF
cold weather, cider can be made from
small Janet and Missouri Pippin
apples, mentioning these varieties be,
cause of their habit of overbearing, re-
sulting in good many apples from
IL to ~ inches in diameter Cider
made at this time from sound apples
can usually be kept at freezing tenn
perature and in condition to use the
greater part of the winter.
The barrels should be tightly closed,
air excluded, and any slight fermenta-
ton that may begin controlled with
siphon rubber pipe passing from the
barrel to a pan of water. In this way
carbonic acid gas is allowed to escape
and the oxygen prevented from com
ing in contact with the cider and thus
creating more fermentation. For our
own use we preserve barrel of the
b, st cider. We heat it to 165 degrees,
letting it stand at that temperature for
the space of an hour. that the i'm
purities and scum may rise and be
SKINNED off. This is then canned
like fresh fruit in two quart Mason
Jars and placed in dark cellar.
Handled in this way it keeps in
definitely and will be found superior as
| a healthful beverage to cider pre-
served with salicylie acid or formal'n.
In pasteurizing. cider is heated in
copper tanks to 165 degrees, kept at
that temperature for two hours, skim
med. and then run into steam heated
barrels or kegs. Handled in this way
It keeps perfectly for.an indefinite
length Of time.-Orange Judd Farmea

The richest spinster in New York
city is Mary G. Pinkney. She is said
to have more money than Hetty Green
and certainly more than Helen Gould.
The reason that her name has never
been connected with matrimonial
gossip is that she is 81 years old and
therefore far removed from the influ-
ence of the court of Venus. Miss
Pinkney lives in New York in the
winter time, having fine apartments
in the Hotel Buckingham, and in the
summer she goes to her farm up in
the Bronx. This farm is worth about
100000 She raises garden truck
and flowers and is said to be an ex-
cellent farmer. She does not go in
much for charity, burt she is not eccen-
trio nor parsimonious. Nearly all of
her relations of the younger genera
tons are socially prominent Like
Russell Sage, she finds her chief pleas
ure in work.

Few Developments in Far East-BaItic

There were few DEVELOPMENTS in the

The Japanese have succeeded in plac-
ing several big siege guns in position,
with which they will be able to SER

Of the Japanese forces is as follows;
One brigade Of infantry and five regi
