portions OF the law lie stated that the
purpose of the meeting was TO give the
officers an opportunity TO express them-
selves on the question OF what dispose
ton they would prefer to see made or the
regiment, whose status was certain to be
affected by the reorganization.
The relative merits OF the infantry and
the coast artillery were discussed at
length, from the standpoint OF the regl-
ment as at present constituted.
The officers Of the regiment denied that
they wished TO antagonlze the desires OF
that, while they were acting In the IN
terests OF the Second regiment. their
preference was more for the infantry for-
nation than for the name, and II IL
shonld be deemed expedent by the COM
mission on reorganization TO merge the
two regiments OF infantry into one they
would not make an issue or the name py
which the combined command should De

AN OLD-FASHIONED GIRL.

The school life OF their mothers
would be IA matter Of antiquity to the
schoolgirls OF to-day. With that
thought Alice ]. Jones has written her
recollection OF her own glrlhood, "In
Dover on the Charles" She deals In
particular with the matter of dress,
perhaps the leading interest OF the
child.
When l first went to school wrote
a dress almost to my ankles and white
pantalets Of the same length, or longer.
Two older girls were considered the
leaders OF fashion In our school. Their
pantalets were made OF the same ma
terlal as the dresses with which they
we're worn. Mother refused to let me
follow the fashion, which she said had
been discarded long ago by my older
sisters

Inventor Edison asserts that men
sleep too much; that four or FIVE hours
a day is enough. Tesla, on the other
hand. declares that 1t Is because men
do not sleep enough that they fail to
live to 100 or 125 years-the age their
constitution seems to warrant item
Tesla says that in sleep all vital
wear and tear ceases; that In sleep,
In fact. the ravages OF wear and tear
are repaired. Hence they who sleep
much do not waste their time, for the
longer they sleep the longer they viii
live.
He points at Gladstone, whose mind
remained keen and his frame powerful
up to a great age. Gladstone. he says,
slept II hours a day.
He points to the negroes. many Of
whom are middle-aged at 20, and at 90
are still far from old. The negroes
sleep all they can. They average IS
or IA hours abed a day.
The whites. Tesla holds, should do
the same. When not working, they
should be sleeping. His philosophy OF
sleep is summed up in the paradox:
The more hours you sleep the more
hours you'll be awake.

A Texas man has devised a gasoline
stove which he claims is absolutely
non-explosive. The reservoir may be
covered with oil and set afre with i'm
punity. The stove is constructed with
two tanks, one to hold water, the other
gasoline. The piping is so arranged
that the gasoline reservoir is always
full, the pressure beneath the water
forcing the oil to the top and thence
into the burner So long as the air is
thus excluded from the gasoline reser-
voir the tank can not explode.
