MYSTERIES OF SLEEP.

The limo When Grsatess Depth OF
Siunnbsr oeeurs.,
It is related cf q Chinese mer-
caant who was convicted of wife
murder and sentenced to die by be-
ing deprived of sleep that he was
placed in prison with guards
changed hourly for the purpose Of
preventing him from sleeping. Aft
er the commencement Of the = 'ih
day his suffering was so intense It
he implored the authorities to ST.
gle, guillotine, burn him, drow ;,
him, garrote, shoot, quarter, blsw
him up with gunpowder or put him
to death in any conceivable way.
Natural sleep has beeu defined as
mental rest produced by an appe-
tite resulting from fatigue, but the
idea that mental rest means mental
inaction is hardly tenabie, inasmuch
as it quite frequently happens that
the solution of unsolved problems is
the first thing to appear in the con-
eciousness on awakening, and thus
the mind must have been operative
while asleep. ! =. 49,
1t is commonly supposed that the
greatest depth of sleep occurs about
the end Of the first hour. This,
however, is not invariably the rule,
according to my own observations
in the Cook County (Chicago) In
sane asylum, made some years ago,
when I spent two successive nights
! in hourly testing the depth of sleep
by light, sound and touch. A ma
jority of the zen cases I had under
observation showed the greatest
depth to be at about 8 a. m. More
recently Drs. sante de Sanctis and
n; Neyros, at the University of
Rome, tested the depth of sleep in
four normal persons by pressure
upon the temple. One Of these
showed the greatest depth Of sleep
In the second and fifth hours, while
the Others showed the greatest
depth between the first and second
hours. -. =; H.. ~ r..

HOW TINE SEXES DIFFER.
Contrary Waya Of Men and Women 10
Doing the Samo Thing.


Doing the Samo Thing.
Ever watched q man as he takes
chair? He'll move it-every time,
even if it's only an inch. He would
not cit in it just where it was for
the world. Watch him next time
and, sec If he doesn't move it. A
woman will seat herself without
touching the chair. A woman is
more philosophical anyhow.
Men are queer creatures, as every
one knows. A man will always stir
his coffee before drinking it. This
is very foolish. He should taste it
first to see if it needs stirring.
Few men open their personal cor
respondence without looking at the
postmarks to see the time Of post
ing. Women, on the other hand,
tear open the envelope at once.
They are in too much Of hurry to
waste any time.
When q man puts on his hat he
almost always looks inside it first.
What he expects to see remains q
mystery, but he looks for it, all the
same. ...
He subjects the point of his pen
to the same careful scrutiny before
commencing to write a letter. A
woman starts right off, jabs her pen
in the ink pot and straightway be.
gins to scribble as If her life de.
pended On it.
1t is the man who reads with his
back to the light, holding his book
in one hand. Herein lies wisdom.
A woman rests her. book on the to.
BILE and leans both elbows thereon
But the foolishness Of the mans
act lies in the fact that he is seek.
ing comfort and seldom takes this
position because it is the most sci.
entific, one. Of course he finds il
isn't comfortable. His arm aches
after the first ten minutes, where
upon he puts his book down and re-
marks he is going out.
It is the man who. let's out Sc.
crets-not by telling them, but by
i'll timed silence; He does worse;
by refusing to'gratify the curiosity
Of his questioners he. invariably
causes them to jump to conclusions
much more damaging than the truth
Of the matter.~New. York Press.
