Our Cold Waves.

We Americans are always talking
about our mountains Of gold and coal
and iron, Of our fat fields Of corn and
wheat but few of us ever realize that
we have in our climate great advan-
tage over all other nations. In the
cold wave which in summer and win
ter so often sweeps across the land
and sends the thermometer tumbling
thirty degrees in almost as many min
utes, we have a constant never di-
minishing asset Of priceless value.
The wave acts as a tonic, but, unlike
any tonic made by man, 1t carries no
reaction No other land has cold waves
like ours. To the cold dry air of this
periodic cold wave, which brings ex.
traordinary changes Of temperature
we owe much of the keen, alert mind,
the incessant, unremitting energy of
our American race.-Century.

AS we live in an age of more or
less humbug, it is natural that we
should hear great deal of the self
sacrifice involved when a man Of af-
fairs accepts q public Office which
pays relatively a small salary. The
country Is continually being put in
the attitude Of a grateful beneficiary
OF the exalted patriotism Of its public
men. This is humbug. There is no
sacrifice involved in the acceptance
by successful business man or pro-
fessional man Of a distinguished Off
cial post The honor of holding such
position more than compensates for
any material and financial deprivation
which the acceptance may involve.
The talk to the contrary Is nonsense.
It Is to be noted that all this ad-
miration for self-sacrificing public
functionaries applies only to officials
In the domestic service. 1t is deemed
a noteworthy case of self-abnegation
when a successful lawyer takes
cabinet place, but when a rich man
goes abroad as diplomatic represent
ative of the United States and spends
several times the amount of his salary
In maintaining his country's dignity
he is In nine cases out of ten dubbed
snob and a toad-eater. Nobody
sheds tears Of pride and admiratio
over his sacrifice Of his private for
tune In the public service. That sort
Of thing is reserved for the states
man who serves his country at home
instead Of abroad And there is too
much Of it. 1t has got to such a pass
that when a man Of some reputation
in the business world takes a post
the rest Of us are expected to knock
our heads against the ground in front
of him and exclaim that here, surely,
Is the greatest instance of patriotism
and self-sacrifice that ever was known.
Instead Of comforting honor on its
holder, public office now is supposed
to be honored by anybody who will
give up a certain financial advantage
in order to accept it. This, Of course,
Is false, flunkyish and un-American
doctrine. 1t is the manifestation Of
hysteria and money worship COM
bined. The one encouraging thing
about 1t is that the men who give
up private advantage to take public
office do not themselves go about
boasting Of their sacrifice, because
they do not deem 1t sacrifice. 1t Is
not these men but their fool friends
and slushy journalists who continue
to shout wonder, love and praise be-
cause honor and patriotism are set
above money by gratifying number
| of American citizens.

Perfect health demands not only a
fixed amount Of sleep, but the observ-
ance of regular habits. And perfect
sleep for man can be obtained only at
night, as suggested by the rhythmical
succession of light and darkness.
There is point to the old proverb: "An
hours sleep before midnight is worth
two after" Those who are In the
habit Of turning night into day realize
this to their cost. The hour before
midnight that is worth two after is
from II to IL. And inasmuch as the
human system is more below par at
8 a. m. than at any other period in the
twenty-four hours, sleep should cover
at least two hours on each side of this
time. When life is at stake in the
crises Of acute disease nurses are in
structed to begin special stimulation at
midnight and to continue 1t until 6
in the morning, in the hope that flag
ging energies may be sustained
through this period Of supreme depres-
sion.

A missionary in Japan writes of

the sounds of marching and cheering
In honor Of japanese victory. Hun
dreds Of wounded Japanese soldiers
were patients in the institution. The
triumphant cries from outside made
the crippled forget their injuries. The
men formed procession of their own,
and marched about the hospital. Pals,
buckets, basins and dippers were
seized, and a confused noise of pound

'oiiN f. STEVENS named for the task
which Wallace deserted, puts his heart,
his brain and his wonderful physical
energy into every task. He did that
when he whipped the son of a great
railroad president with whom he had
a personal alteration, and he did it
when, as a scout on the plains, he car
rled message from one military post
to another, being obliged to hide neck
deep In a swamp for twenty hours to
avoid being captured and killed by In
dams. In carrying this message Mr..
Stevens dared what he believed was
his duty as man loyal to his country,
although two other men had been
scalped and murdered brutally while
on the same mission. He licked the
railroad presidents son because he
thought he ought to and the father of
the castigated boy looked at it that
way.
He has seen more hardships than
most men Of his profession. In the
