'How much sleep shall take in the
"a hours?" This can be answered un.
hesitatingly in five words, "As much
as you can" Here no competent au-
thority would question the absolute
safety of instinct as guide. AS the
period of sleep represents the time
necessary to restore the oxygen bal
ance of the tissues, to recharge the
battery, then obviously it must last
until that process has been completed,
as attested by the familiar sense of
RESIDENCES" and refreshment. Go to
sleep when you're tired, get up when
you wake feeling rested" contains the
philosophy of the whole problem. AS
a matter of fact, the average amount
of sleep taken by most individuals is
in the neighborhood of nine hours.
The proverbs are, as usual, at sea,
and have about the usual amount of
influence over actual practice. Seven
hours for a man, eight for a woman,
and nine for a fool" has been their
dictum for centuries, but the average
human being cheerfully plunks himself
into the fool class, much to his bene-
ut. j believe, writes Woods Hutchin.
son in American Magazine, that the
usual eighthour average laid down In
the text books errs on the side Of
brevity, and the majority of men in
active work take more than this or
else suffer for it. The average labor
ing man goes to bed at between $50
and $50, or if he does not, often falls
asleep in his chair about 7:3O or eight
and sleeps until six The average
business or professional man goes to
bed about ten and rises about seven,
each class getting on an average nine
and ten hours, respectively.

Hlndoo Defines Billiards.

John Horgan, the champion pool
player, told at a dinner in st. Louis a,
billiard story.
Billiards is tame amusement be-
side pool" Mr.. Horgan began. Two
Hindoos were once discussing the
game in Calcutta, and | think that
their idea of it was pretty near the
right one.
What is this white mans game of
billiards l hear so much about said
the first Hindoo.
Don't you know?' said the second.
"'No. Tell me-
"'Well,' said the second Hindoo,.
billiards is very simple game. Two
men armed with long sticks poke at a
ball on green table, and one says, Il
am" while the other says hard
Iines.""

THE PRESIDENT TO CAMP
HE WILL SPEND II DAYS IN CANE
BRAKES OF LOUISIANA.
Region Abounds In Game and Mr..
Roosevelt Will Have Some
Good Hunting.

Oyster Bay, N. Y. - Seventeen
days of real vacation, with none
Of the duties of his office to worry him,
is what President Roosevelt is to have
when lie goes into camp next month,
and 1t will be most welcome to him.
Though nominally on his vacation
at Oyster Bay this summer, there have
been but few hours in which official
business has not intruded. A physi'
cal and mental recreation, as complete
as his cares will permit, is now ar
ranged. President Roosevelt will
pitch his camp in the northeastern
corner of Louisiana, on or about oc'
tober 5. The exact spot is yet to be
determined.
The plans provide for a camping
trip" but every one who knows north
eastern Louisiana knows that the
cane brakes shelter game worthy OF a
huntsman of presidential calibre.
Those who have the good fortune to
make pleasant the presidents camp,
expect that the monotony of camp life
will occasionally be broken by hunt.
While the details of the trip have
not been thoroughly worked out, the
main features were announced by
Secretary Loeb Thursday. The presi-
dent will leave Oyster Bay for Wash
ington next Wednesday and on the
following Sunday will start on his
western and southern speech-making
tour. At Memphis, Tenn, on October
4, the speech-making program will be
interrupted and the president will
start for the camping grounds. He
will break camp on October 21, going
directly to Vicksburg, Miss, to make
his promised speech there. The re.
turn to Washington will be begun al
most Immediately after, and the
White House will be reached on the
afternoon of October %.
The president will be the guest
while in camp of Civil Service Com.
missioner John A. McElhinney, Of
New Iberia, La, and of John M. Par
ker of New Orleans.
Following the speech at Vicksburg
October 21, the president has consent.
ed to make an address at Hermitage,
Tenn, on the following day.

Probably very few people are aware
that an old ships bell which for many
years has lain under the sea is sus-
pended in the underwriting room at
Lloyd's and is used to announce" the
arrival or other news received in re-
Spect to overdue ships. This is the
bell of the frigate Lutine, wrecked
long ago off the Dutch coast. After
being under the water for years the
bell was saved and now, strangely
enough, is employed to inform under
writer's that something has been heard
of one of those ships which by their
protracted passages are causing un-
easiness. Not every ship that is on the
overdue market is announced in this
manner. 1t is only when an under
writer has expressed to the committee
his desire for immediate information
in respect to this or that overdue YES
sci that the note of the old black bell
rings through the rooms. At the pres
ent time, says the Scotsman, there are
II ships down on the list for announce
ment by the Lutine bell, but some of
these are so hOpelessly overdue that
it is practically certain nothing fur
ther will be heard of them. The big
steel bark Alsternixe for instance,
heads the list. She was formerly the
British ship Lord Templemore and
was built at Belfast in 1892. This ship
has not been heard of since last No
vember, when she sailed from Callao
for Australia.

BIG LAKE STEAMER WRECKED.
CAPTAIN AND FOUR OF HIS CREW
DROWNED.
Disaster Occurs on a DesoIate Coast
Details Difficult to obtain and List
of Victims May Be Large.

Detroit Mich, Sept. 23.-The $4,000
lake steamer, Alexander Nimmick, O
Cleveland, o., was wrecked on tht
bleak southern shore of Lake Superior
13 miles west of White Fish Point. Nc
living soul was within many miles o.
the desolate place where the survivors
laboriously managed to pilot their life
boats through the raging surf; no helI
was at hand to minister to the ex
hausted and frozen sailors or to care
for the bodies of the six or seven vic
tins washed up ON the rocks by waves
The dead; Capt. John Randall, of AL
gcnac, Mich; Steward Thomas Perant
of Port Huron, Mich; First Mate
James Hayes, of Detroit, is supposed
to be among the dead, though it is moi
definitely known that he was lost.
three or four sailors.
The scene of the wreck is half a
days tramp from Grand Marais village
the Vermillion Point life-saving sta
ton of the Whitefish Point Lighthouse
and details Of the wreck are difficult
to obtain.
1t appears that the Inflated steamer
passed through the canal locks at
Saulte Ste Marie Thursday, bound up
the lakes, with a cargo of 5000 tone of
coal from Cleveland, o. A heavy north.
west gale was at it's height when the
Nimmick plowed her way out of the
500 river into the Whitefish bay, and
Lake Superior looked too rough to be
trusted. The shelter of Whitefish Point
was accordingly taken advantage OF
until Saturday, when the storm seemed
to have spent its force Capt. Randall
then pointed his vessel out into the big
lake. All would have gone we'll had
not the steering gear or some part of
machinery gone wrong.
When a few miles away from St.
Mary's river the steamer was left dis.
abled and helpless under a deadly at
tack from the tail of the storm. Driven
overheard by the steamer breaking to
pieces under their feet, the crew be-
gan to battle with the tremendous
surf. Eleven managed to pull them
selves up exhausted on the inhospita-
Bile uninhabited coast, but one boat
containing Capt. Randall and five Of
his men capsized in the surf and were
lost.
kilograms to relatives state that the
captain and five men were lost in the
surf and that Steward Parent was
washed overheard, presumably before
the crew left their ship. 1t is possible
however, that Parent may have been
one of the five who perished with Capt.
Randall, in which case the dead would
number six instead of seven. First
mate Hayes is numbered among the
dead.

cHIcAeo's CHARTER BEATEN.
Voters Reject the instrument at the
Special Election.

Chicago.-Chicago's new city char
ter, the result of many months work
by committees and organizations, was
defeated in the special election Tues
day. The vote was nearly two to one
against it.
The efforts Of the United societies
for Local Self-Government, the South
Park board, the Deneen faction among
the Republicans and of the Democrats
generally, are credited with the result.
The claim that the new charter would
result in much higher taxes had much
to do with its defeat.
