nervous excitement, caused from the
effect of the morphine he had taken.

Thomas Edison Says That People
Eat and Sleep Too Much Nowadays

New York, Oct. 20.-Americans
don't work enough. Also, they sleep
too much. Such are the assertions
of Thomas A. Edison. incidentally,
he says t4ey eat too much, and as
evidence of this he offers the fact
that he has lived for two months on
four ounces of food three times a
day.
"Yes, it's true; the country is food
drunk" said Mr.. Edison. ''The fact
is that people eat too much, sleep
too much and don't work enough.
The average man would be much
better off and would do very much
better work if he would cut down his
food and sleep and labor a little
harder.
"Men eat and sleep themselves
stupid. Sometimes they eat and
sleep themselves into the grave They
talk about working too hard. That
is absolute nonsense. Generally
speaking, man can't work TOO hard.
Intemperance i'm Sleep.
'As for sleep, that is another pre-
vailing form of intemperance. Peo-
pie sleep too much. They drug
themselves with sleep. If man will
only try to get along with less sleep
he will be surprised to discover how
little he really needs. And he will
find his faculties very much i'm
proved by the effort.
ut is not SO much the quantity as
the quality of sleep that counts. The

Habit Like a Chickens.
We are slaves to sleep. Why,
for instance, should We go to sleep
at night? The only difference be-
tween night and day is that the sun
goes down in one case and comes up
in the other. What difference should
that make? l suppose it is simply
habit acquired through thousands OF
years of ancestry. We have become

food still more.
For two months | lived on four
ounces of food for each meal. That

DEER IN BURLINGTON.
Young Doe Visited the Railroad Yards
and Was Seen on Battery Street.

Certain portions of Burlington appear
ed to be primeval wilderness Thursday,
for young doe capered about the
streets as if she was in her native for
est home. She was first seen on the
high bank opposite the round house in
the Central Vermont railway yard at
noon. She did not appear to be fright
cned and made her way leisurely along
the bank, gathering herbs and grass.
She walked towards the tunnel and then
disappeared. At about one o'clock she
appeared again on Battery street, stop
ping at the foot of Bank street. She
was seen by several employees of the
Northern Provision Co., who were inter.
ested spectators. Again she returned to
the bank and disappeared at the tunnel.
The deer was young doe and was
apparently tame Many farmers on
North avenue say that the deer destroy
vegetables which they have in their gar
dens, and that they are especially fond
of green peas.

Miss Henrietta Crossman could give

displayed talent in this direction that
places here among the most eminent
dramatic producers OF modern times.
When Miss Crosman first began a star
ring career, she had ideas Of her own
as to how she wished things done, and
she determined to carry them out. Con-
sequently she dispensed with a stage
director, a proceeding unheard of up to
that time, and she herself conducted all
the rehearsals. She did more. She plan
ned all scenic effects, suggested and de-
signed costumes, and in fact arranged
all details for the presentation of the
play. Result, two years run of the
play in New York, and reputation for
Miss Crosman as most artistic stage

From that day to the present Miss

RAISING pARTRIDGEs.
An Interesting and Successful Expert
ment Being Conducted at Worcester.

Worcester, Mass, June 24.-Dr. Cliff
ton +. Hodge, professor of biology at
Clark University, is having remarkable
success in his efforts toward homestead.
ing the ruffer grouse, or partridge. The
latest achievement is the raising of a
second generation of the birds while
they are in captivity, FIVE strong heal
thy birds having been Matched about
two weeks ago by the mother partridge.
More could scarcely be desired than to
have a pair mate and produce their
young in the back yard of city home.
SO tar as is known the birds have
acted exactly the same as their broth
ers in the woods even to the curious
act of drumming. They are Just as
large as those in the woods and are
lively and contented. One of the old
male birds seems to be especially de-
lighted when DR.. Hodge enters the en-
closure and plays with the bird as one
would with his pet cat. In no other
case, so far as is known has this spec
les been anywhere near so perfectly do
mesticated.
DR.. Hodge began these experiments in
the spring of 1908, when he obtained
some partridge eggs from the woods and
Matched them out under bantam hen.
At the time he was laughed at for try
ing it. But after the chicks were hatch |
ed out and it was seen that they were
being raised, a member of the Massa-
Fish and Game Protective AS
ISOLATION who resides in Worcester re-
ported the affair to a meeting Of the
directors, which then voted two hun |
dred dollars to be given to DR.. Hodge |
IN aid of his experiments. He is using
It in charging his enclosures with a
view to aiding such work as the associa-
ton is doing, especially by eventually
setting the birds free in the covers Of
he state and perhaps in our city parks.
