A. to sleep and study.

Many youth In school II con
dcmncd rs n sleepy head because his
parents ncglec, to SEQ to It that he
gets tho proper amount OF sleep.
Mothers know that the newborn In
fant should sleep about 2s hours each
day and that this need OF sleep Is
1cascncd SO slowly that tho child de-
mands IL hours when It is about i:
years old. II IL decided by experts
that tho normal amount of sleep Is
not reduced to ten hours until between
tho ages OF IS and 81 years. and that
many persons require nine hours
sleep during most OF lifc thereafter.
Despite these facts tha, should be
well known. how many boys Of IL to
II ycarn form the habit OF sitting up
until ten O'Clock Mt night and are
ms regularly routed out by their pa
rents Mt six o'clock In the morning!
This ia n crime. tho evil OF which is
In no degree icssencd because II Is n
long-cs,ablishcd custom. Experience
and observation have proved that
those who retire In time To
sleep at least nine hours get far more
OF permanent good out OF their course
OF study than those who double their
hours of work by robbing themselves
of sleep. says the Chicago Sun. The
child especially should be In bed res.

naturally at an early enough hour to
bo ready for school. II allowed to

iNsuRoeNT LEADER KILLED.
Cuban Insurreetionists Capture Small
Town.

Havana.-The killing of the insurrec-
tionary leader. Gen. Quentin Baldera,
Thursday. in an engagement between
rural guards and n band OF his follow
ers is regarded as dealing the insur-
rection n heavy blow.
The government is acting with en-.
Srgy in sending rural guards and vol
unteers against the Santa Clara rebels
and in dispatching $50 more men to
defend Pinar Del Rio against Pine
Guerrero.
The capture OF San Juan De Marti.
nez by Guerrcra's band was not great
surprise, though 1t was not expected
to occur so soon. The place WAS pro.
tected by n small detachment OF rural
guards, while Guerrera's strength was
much greater.
The taking Of Pinar Del Rio will be
quite another matter. since there are
in that vicinity twice as many troops
rs the insurgcnt Pine Guerrero can
muster. It is regarded as more than
probable that the troops will take the
offensive and IL possible draw Guerrero
into an open fight.
Insurgent forces commanded by
Pine Guerrero have captured San
Juan De Martinez. the terminus OF the
Western railroad. and have occupied
the town and railroad station.
There was no bloodshed. The email
force of rural guards which held the
town fed at the approach of the insur-
gents.
A force of rural guards and volun-
teers have left Cienfuegos. province OF
Santa Clara, to engage 300 insurgents
who have left Las Lajas under COM
mand of Col. Guzman, mayor OF that
town.

In reply to the charge that women

1t Is asserted that many OF the most

in reality represent ideas conceived
In the brains of their wives. their
sisters and their daughters. Ell Whit.

have been merely tho application of a
device first thought out by a woman

The "Coston light" which is used by
our life.saving service. and by mar.
iners all over the world. for signaling

In order to prevent miscrcants from

have been made to destroy all tho fish

prevented each attempt from being

A Sermon In Precious stones.

In all ages OF the world tho meas
zee OF a nations prosperity has been
gauged by the luxuries with which
tho people surrounded themselves.
This is as true now as II was In the
days of Roman conquest. and 1t In
shown particularly In a recent ON
cinl statement concerning the impor'
tation Into this country of South Al.
rican diamonds. Last year $4,000
900 OF these precious stones found
their way Into the United States.
When Speaker Cannon uttered MS
emphatic and unique declaration con-
cerning this country's success he only
declared fact. says the Phiiadel
phia Press. The past ten years.
Judged by the Importation OF diamonds
alone. has been the most prosperous
and successful this country has ever
known. In 1897 the Imports OF dia'
monds in round numbers exceeded
$i.s00. 900. although the price per
carat was not nearly as high as II mas
been since. This wonderful increase
shows tina, there Is demand Tor
them. and tho demand is an indica'
tion that the people have the money
whcrewi,h to purchase them. pin.
monds are an unfailing indication OF
prosperity. Tho hrst thing tho aver
age man does when ho gets little
ahead In the world Is to bay n dia'
mond shirtstud or diamond earrings
for his wife. The more money he
makes the more diamonds he buys.
and that men have been making
money and tina, tho country Is un.
usually prosperous Is Indicated by
these figures on diamonds.

makers Cannot Go Home in Week or Two

Washington, June 14.-An unexpect-'
ed snag has been struck in the move
nent for an early adjournment and
it is possible that the type of the Pan.
anna canal must be settled ], before
congress closes its business. Secre-
tary Taft was in conference with
Speaker Cannon and Chairman Hep
burn Of the committee on interstate
and foreign commerce, which handles
the canal legislation, and there is a,
disposition to settle the type of canal
before the adjournment of congress.
Secretary Taft is earnest in his eff
forts to have this matter settled be-
fore work proceeds much further. It
is possible that when the appropria-
ton Of $25,OoO,0oO for continuing the
work on the canal is reached that an
amendment for an eighty-fve-foot lock
canal may be made which would mean
a determination Of the type before
this great supply measure could be-
come law. .$5sss 81. 80.
