IhGNkSSIUl7lSi Day.
The president and the various governors through
out the United States have issued proclamatons in
which they have reminded the people not to forget
to render thanks to the Almighty for the many bles-
sings received during the past year. Their request
couched in such terms to appeal to all nation
alities and undoubtedly the people will show their
gratitude by observing the customary rites that have
distinguished this day from other conspicuous holi-
days. Those whom fortune has enriched and Law
ishly showered blessings upon, should see that the
unfortunate shared in the feasting and rejoicing.
Otherwise the day will be to the poor the same as
any other day-days in which poverty misery, and
suffering predominant.
On this Thanksgiving Day it should not be hard
to find something for which we should really feel
thankful. No matter how badly situated we may be,
must canddy confess that things might be worse.
When view the past year with the benevolent
light of optimism we will have no difficulty in find
ing something to he truly thankful for If we have
been engaged in war, must admit that it might
have been a thousand times worse. If country
has been visited by yellow fever, we know that it's
ravages might have swept over the entire country
instead OF being confined to small portion Of it.
1t is these simple truths that remind to be thank
full for what u.s. and not to worry about things over
which we have no control

Education.


LAST week we published article that dealt
with the educational problem. This article men,
toned several of it's phases it's commenoable fea-
lures and it's shortcomings Our educational system
has been trial repeatedly, and from time to time
it's weak parts have been the subject of much discus
sion and abuse. No less parsonage than the late
Herbert Spencer expressed the conviction that the
common schools should be abolished entirely not
because they unsatisfactory but for the
that people were taxed regardless of whether they
did did not send their children to the public
There are others who strongly opposed to
the idea of teaching pupil this that and the other
thing whether his bent of mind leads in that direc
ton not They maintain that this procedure stiles
originality. They insist that childs incnations
should be first ascertaned, and then ardenty strive
to cultivate these impulses. If this method was
pursued, no doubt there would be renaissance in
literature science sculpture art and the drama. The
prototypes of Aristotle, Euripides Xenophon,
Phidias Isocrates and Percles would be given fair
opportunity to display their genius and to enrich the
world
Still it would be unwise to abolish wholly the
mmon-school system. 1t performs its mission.
The commercial value of knowing how to read write,
and to figure may not be rated very highly but besides
way through which one enters to seek college
education and to study for of the professions.
However there is little danger Of the passing of
common schools The day is not far distant when
they will be augmented by trades schools. These
are necessity. In fact as breadwinner they are
more necessary than the common school.

LUzU and the Criminal.


BEFORE the recent conference of the Board Of
Charities and Correction, Mr.. Theodore F. Leeb of
Winona Mimi, read excellent paper on .'The
Influence Of the Law In his paper, Mr.. Leeb
recommended, among other things, "More protection
for the public and less for the crimina more rigid
prosecutions of crime, and more expedition in
ing punishment for indicted persons" This is all
very true Still the Indictment is not true as far as
the so-called criminal class is concerned When one
of this class is arrested justice is swift and
There is unnecessary delay.
We doubt whether Mr.. Leeb had in view this
class when he wrote his paper Among the so-called
criminal class it is thing to find who has
sufficient funds to employ the best legal talent to
fight his to finish If the petty criminal had
bank account there can be question but what he
would place high valuation upon his liberty and
hire as many high priced lawyers to keep him from
the penitentiary the meat packers in Chicago are
hiring to keep them from wearing stripes.

who might invade Mr.. Menus premises, sit on this

public decency and incites terror in the hearts Of

opinion, but he should carefully consider the pro-

SINCE the publication of the "Rafaes" stories
in which the author graphically depicts the exploits
of gentleman craftsman, several crimes have beer
committed that had their inspiration from the read
ing these articles Several have confessed
that they attempted to follow in the footsteps of this

told with minute direction how "Rafles' gained ad

THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP

that this attitude is contrived so as to
"epose at once all the muscles used in
| locomotion or in a standing attitude,
while at the same time it allows the air
to pass freely into his lungs with as
few turns, and, therefore, as little ex
| pense of energy as possible. Then he
shuts both eyes and mouth so as to
shut out communication with the eX-
ternal world. and now his deeper and
slower breathing tells Us that sleep has
begun. Yet in this stage he is easily
awakened Call him, and he jumps to
his feet without a sign of having to
shake or sleep, and the same eff
feet can, until he gets used to the trick,
be produced by making noises sug-
costing the scratching and gnawing of
a rat Soon, however, this stage passes
AS his sleep becomes sounder-a state
that may sometimes be induced by
tickling or stroking the soles of his
feet-his limbs often begin to twitch
with a regular motion, and he Will
sometimes even utter low cries as if in
chase. Evidently he is dreaming of
his natural pursuit of hunting, and like
Mr.. Kipling's Brugglesmith, in his
magnificent mind is furiously running.
But. let him alone and keep quiet. and
cries and witches alike grow still.
The sleep has passed into its third and
deepest stage, and from this it requires
an appreciable effort to arouse him.
When he does awake he will probably
be found heavy and languid, viii
stretch himself strongly, and will take
two or three minutes before he resumes
his usual alertness. What now has
taken place. as we may say, inside the
dog, TO bring about these changes Of
appearance and function. Thanks to
the observation Of cases where either
by the operation known as trephiuing,
or by gunshot wounds. some portion of
the skull has been removed. we know
that during sleep the brain becomes

phrase says more for the Governor of
Barataria's gratitude than for his
powers of observation. A CLOAK does
not descend upon us at inconvenient
times of its own accord. nor does it
leave us suddenly when we most desire
its presence Neither does 1t return to
US periodically with such persistence
that it has been calculated, we spend
one third of our whole lives in sleep.
If we look for further holes in the
analogy. we might find them IN the
fact that sleep seems to be the peculiar
appanage of the beginning and end OF
life. so that both children and old
people sleep considerably more than the
middle aged. Yet little is really known

a part in our lives? Up to a short
time ago no answer could have been
suggested to the question, but now the
neuronic theory, with which newspaper
readers should, by this time be famI-
lar, has given US at any rate a work
ing hypothesis to fit the facts. NJ.
Matthew Duval has shown with much
skill how probable it is that the tent
acles or lateral prolongations of the
neurones of the sleeping brain droop
and retract like those of the sea an
emone when the water recedes from it.
Hence they are no longer in free COM
nunication with each other, and we
thus lose that faculty of association
and comparison which goes TO make up
Consciousness But, it should be noted,
not all the neurones sleep al one time.
For sleep, which, as we know from the
example of daisies and other flowers
extends 10 the vegetable world as well
as to the animal, is itself a reflex ac-
ton brought about by necessity in the
fret place, and perpetuated by hered-
irv. The blood leaves the brain at
regular times as NJ. Claparede and
others have shown, not so much be-
cause its functions are exhausted, as
to prevent them from becoming ex-
hausted Now, the consciousness Is
kept alive during the whole of our
waking hours, and therefore requires
a rest to enable it TO regain its pristine
vfgor more than any other faculty.
The same cannot be said of functions
Ike the attention and the will, which
are only exercised at irregular inter
walls, and which. therefore. can well re-
main on guard while the others sleep.
Mr.. WeIls's suggestion that sleep is dis
pensed with by ants is negativad by
the researches of NJ Pictet. but it is,
perhaps his mllennial vision that has
led to the formation in America of
