that after observation of many hun
dgcds Of thcnl.'
Dr. Josiah Oldhcld. the ~wcll-known
specialist. cannot account for the fact

resentati.c that. whether they are of
the working classes or of higher sta
non in life. women need. and thcir ma
ture is satisfied with. less sleep than
their husbands or other male relatives
demand.
Meantime man differs as To what he
needs. The following are experiences
or advice as to the duration of slecI
sent to the Daily Mail by distinguished
men:
The Bishop of Ripon: When young.
take as much sleep as You need; when
OLD. as much as YOU Il get.
Sir Frederick Trevcs: The average
amount of sleep for myself is seven tc
eight hours.
Sir George Lewis. the we'll known
solicitor: | think eight hours sut.i-
cicnt. | sleep nine hours.
Mr.. Vincent Hin, general manager of
the Southeastern railway: Think it
is we'll that people should sleep as long
as they can. and that is my practice.
Mr.. Beerbohin Tree: i should say
In my case eight hours sleep is better
than seven. and nine hours better than
eight. l AXE ninc hours whenever I
can. and invariably sleep for that pc
riod when on IL holiday. and as near to
it as possible at all times. Further. l
consider sleep before any effort. with
the power to go to sleep at any time.

power. and invariably recupertte by
its aid before the eXhausting strain of
a first night or before playing ii new
part.
Sir Edward Ward. permanent un-
der-sccretary FOR war: | find six and
a half hours enough. l dare say | could
manage nine or ten hours with an oc-
c%asicnal wake up; but L should call
that "slacking."
DIR. Josiah Oldtield: 1t is certain that
every man must have Il certain mini
mum of sleep per twenty-four hours.
Most find that minimum eight hours.
but IN enormous number are satisfied
with five and Il half hours. | always
sleep eight hours and regard that as,
on the whole, the proper minimum for
a man. Certainly five and a half hours
is not enough.
Sir Robert Ball: Don't expect an
astronomer to confess how many hours
of the precious night he wastes by
staying in bed.
The Earl OF Aberdeen. lord lieu
tenant of Ireland: I find that much
can be accomplished in either direc-
ton by training and habit. But as to
the saying that one cannot burn the
candle at both ends | have heard the
suggestion that it is one of the ways
OF making Soth ends meet.
During the six months which Charles
Frohman, the thcater manager, spent
in London recently his hours OF sleep
averaged not more than five. He rose
at 1:3O a. M, and rarely got to bed be-
fore 9 a. m, sometimes later.
AT the Bank of England a high off,
cial said he liked twelve hours when
ever he could get it-that is. between
Saturday II Sunday. "Other days l
don't get enough"
The principal of II leading firm OF
Stockholders said: Members of my
profession sleep we'll because we have
easy consciences. l myself find nine
to ten hours sufficient"

The Lock Stem.

From the Chicago Tribune.
The penitentiary is coming to br re-
gardcd more and more as a place for
men to become penitent. The efforts
toward prison reform begun by John
Howard and Elizabeth Fry have been
carried IN by other philanthropists I'M
til the idea of punishment has yielded
to the idea of preparing prisoners for
future usefulness. The comfort or the
Improvement of the prisoner was a
thing of nc Importance so long as the
thought was tn prevent crime by the
terrors of Jail life. When it was fully
realized that no terrors of the law
would keep men from the commission
of ~offcnses. attention was directed to
the reclamation of offenders. Heredity.
environment n other p~redispOsing
causes were given their full weight.
and the view WAS taken that in all
might be developed. The physical.
mental and spiritual needs of prisoners,
We're considered. Without losing sight
of the fact that the safety OF the COM
munity requires the ~seclusion of thosel
whose criminal impulses cannot other-'
wise be controlled, all we'll ordered
prisons now aim at the reform of all
prisoners capable of reform.
Under the old theory it was desir-
able that a man who had once been
i'm prison should be easily recognizable
when released, so that all might be on
their guard against him. The close
cropped hair and prison pallor marked
q man when first released. IN the lock
step. which had become second nature
to his muscles. showed its effect in in
stinctiIH movements which an expert
enced eye readily understood. The man
was branded as truly as if a brand
were on his brow.

as he rode home over the border.
And so the days passed away until

me somehow that he'd get something

him what was amiSS, he tried to mass

me and told me that he wouldn't have
1t on his conscience to deceive a man
who had saved his life. OF course, !
asked him what on earth he meant
about deceiving me. Then u came
his whole budget. / promised him I'd
see he didn't suffer. and came straight
on to see you about the business. Tu
put it in a nutshell. what he told me
was this: His master has got tired of
hanging round Nelly without result,
n he has resolved TO kidnap her, take
her across the border to one of his
%estancias in the mountains, and there
get a priest to marry them, while we're
hunting around for our poor girl"

Jim leant forward.

low prices prevailing; furthermore, the

Rio Janeiro district. has become eX-
hausted, causing the abandonment OF
many great estates. Then there is the

the coast. and the far-distant markets
to be reached. and ven the unneces-
sary whims of the consumer to be hui

black to suit the South Africa trade.
But with an abundance of cheap labor
and the limitation of production now
strictly enforced by the government.

mand. it is to be hoped that conditions
will rapidly change for the better.
Cheap coffee may be II boon to the
housewife. but it spells ruin for Brazil.

Although the annual gold produc-
