Ancient erist Mills.

The city of Rome was supplied
with no fewer than fourteen aque-
ducts, not necessarily for drinking
purposes, becauseit always had the
river, which afforded copious flood
of fresh water, but for the sake of
convenience and especially to supply
the baths and drive the water mills,
most Of which were, located under
Mount Janiculum. 1t was these
water mills which made Rome .
great manufacturing city. They
were employed in innumerable arts,
and gave rise to endless mechanical
inventions and improvements, When,
in the sixth century, the Goths laid
siege to Rome and cut off the aquc-
duct water, Belisarius established a
series of floating boat mills on the
Tiber, which, being driven by the
current, enabled the accustomed in
dustries to be resumed. Grist mills
driven by streams or the wind wee
common in the rural districts, the
more ancient ones pounding the
corn In gigantic mortars, the I'M
proved ones grinding it between re-
volying stones.

A Doctors Experience In Omitting
the NIGht Feeding

A Doctors Experience In OmittfnB
the Night Feeding
A physician of charity hospital for
children was once congratulated on, the
remarkably healthy lot OF infants he
seemed TO have In his place at all
times, and he was asked the reason
why. He explained that he had by ac-
cident stumbled upon truth which
helped him greatly. He gave out an
order once to the nurses to feed all the
infants in certain way, using certain
quantities and proportions at intervals
he carefully specified, including night
feeding, In his periods of intervals.
The head nurse, to whom he gave the
directions. misunderstood him and took
one period of omission OF the feedings
to be from Z p. m. to 7 a. M, and for
some time this rule Of no night feed
ing was strictly followed without his
being aware of 1t. The corresponding
ly increasing health of the infants at
this time surprised him so much that
he made inquiries Of his nurses. try
Ing to find out the reason for the un-
usual peace at night and relief from
crying babies ut period usually filed
with the sounds from all quarters OF
the hospital. He found that the mis-
taken understanding OF his directions
and tho omission OF the night feedlngs
had been the direct cause OF these bene-
fits. so after that he gave 1t as direct
order, and the nights continued serene
for all.--New York Globe.

ONE of FIELDS FRANKS.
How the Poet Used to Impress Some
Of His Visitors.

How the Poet Used to Impress Some
Of His visitors.
Some recent "reminiscences of Eu-
gene Field, the well known poet,
tell OF way in which he used to
amuse himself with some of his visit
ors. He would reserve for such use
some carefully written bit OF verse.
His associate, who told the story,
would figure as his amanuensis when
he was not personally known to the
visitor.
"FIeld would be talking with his
visitor about some commonplace
subject" says the narrator Of the
story, when suddenly he would stop,
place long finger to his brow, as
II smitten with new thought, and
speak my name in commanding
tone.
Instantly l, at my desk. close to
his, would snatch up pad and give
ostentatious attention to him.
Then, with just enough hesitation to
make the feat impressive, Field
would begin repeating from memory
some poem which may have cost him
hours of the most painstaking labor
to compose.
Between lines or stanEas he
would perhaps turn back to his
guest, as if The reeling off Of such
poetry were the easiest possible task,
mere incident apt to arise unex-
pectedly at any moment. Indeed,
sometimes the most difficult part Of
his task and mine was to refrain
from laughing at the amazement pic
tured OH the visitors face.
"When the poem was completed
1 would read it over to Field, who,
with an expression of beatifc medi-
tation on his face, would sit as il
watching closely for a word to
change. OF course, he never found
one.
"The next morning, when the
verses appeared unaltered in the col
umns Of paper, that visitor would
start telling oil who would listen
how the wonderful Field had COM
posed this classic. not only in few
minutes, but in the midst of con-
versation which was scarcely inter
rupted by it."

HOW TO SLEEP AND WHEN.
Some Words of Advice From Dooto
on This Subject.

on This Subject.
The following brief quotations
are from "Sleep and Its Rcgula-
tion," by DR.. j. Madison Taylor, in
Popular Science Monthly:
During childhood and exhaustive
states too much sleep is rarely pos
sible. For those in full tide of vig-
or too much sleep is often distinctly
hurtful.
The action of narcotics presents
none of the characteristics of nor
NAL sleep except the temporary ar
rest of consciousness; hence mar
COSTS is not true sleep.
The best position to assume in
sleep to invite the least disturbance
of the functions of the great or
gans is on the abdomen, or nearly
so.
Many obscure forms of digestive
or circulatory disorders may have
been initiated in infancy through
lying too long upon the back.
To secure the most perfect re-
pose the temperature of all parts
should be equalized before retiring.
Cold feet induce delay in securing
sleep, and it is then shallow when
attained.
1t is most unwise to overfill the
stomach before retiring; this dis
turbs sleep almost as much as hun
ger, but moderate eating before
sleeping is not hurtful, and is often
salutary.
Body clothing at night should be
loose, not dense, permitting the
ready passage Of sir, never Of wool
next to the skin.
Bed clothing should not be too
! close Of texture, blankets being pref
cradle to dense "comfortables" and
not tucked in" too closely. Air
should be allowed to pass OCCASION
ally under the sides at least as one
turns about more or less freely.
Early rising is salutary custom,
especially When the Gay comes early,
not otherwise.
More sleep is required in winter
than in summer. The best sleep is
had during the hours Of darkness.
The sleeping room should be cool,
abundant air being always admit
ted. This should not be interpret
ed to mean that the room may safe
ly remain intensely cold.
In the modern treatment Of tu-
berculosis fresh air is recognized to
be imperatively needed all day and
all night. Artificial heat can, and
should, be supplied along with tho
fresh air till the temperature of the
room be at or near so or sc degrees
f., for some even GO degrees F.

The skeats. sneIIs. eIeaas.

There are many examples of sur
names which denote physical or
mental strength i'll the person who
first bore them. Striking instances
are: Skeat, the old English sket,
swift; Smell, the old English smell ;
old Morse Sniallr, swift, strong;
Maryell, meaning prodigy; Swift,
Sharp, Quick; Maginn, probably
from the old Morse meginn, strong.
A remarkable northern namo is
Glegg, or Clegg, which represents
the old Morse gloggr, Scotch gleg,
meaning quick, clever, and occur
ring in the Lancashire dialect as
clegg. In south Yorkshire they say
that quick witted man is "as glegg

When an animal, CT, for that matter,
a man. is carefully trained for the do
ing of some particular kind of work 1t
is noticeable that his progeny will al
ways take more readily to that partic-
ular kind of work than the progeny Of
individuals not SO trained. 1t is culti-
waiting this tendency which has result
ed in giving us some Of the most valu-
able types of animals we have. The
st. Bernard dog because of this ances-
trail training needs little effort to make
him the searcher aud resc1er of lost
travellers in mountain regions; the
young hound readily takes to the track
of the rabbit or deer, the setter to the
trail of the wing ed wild fowl, the shep-
herd dog to the care and herdlng Of
the Eock of sheep. Following this law
has given us the many types of fancy
pigeons and poultry. and the same rule
worked to It's ultimate end has given
us all our improved breeds of domestic
animals.
The Ohio Democrat. (Logan, O. [Ohio]) 1886-1906, 1905-10-19

The mass of men are of the average
sort; the most of the crops raised are
Of the average yield; the quality of
most Of our domestic animals is of the
average grade. Only ii very few farm
ers aspire to get out of the rut of the
average way of doing things, being
satisfied with doing that well. The
successful men in any line of business
are those who are dissatisfied with the
schedule of average work and results
ind aspire to something better. In ev-
cry community may he found some
man who aims to secure more than av-
erage crops. His corn will yield from
sixty to seventy bushels per acre and
other crops in proportion, and he counts
1t as pleasure to do the work neces.
sary to secure such yield. He also
wants better than All average grade oil
stock on his place and Is willing to
spend the money needed to secure It
The real field for ambition lies directly
connected with this trying to do better
than the average not only on the farm
but in all other lines of human effort
and endeavor. Young man, do not he
content to be just an average man OIL
,lo average work. There is something
bigger and better In sight IL you viii
only reach for 1t.
