time and money, and the student
sleeps during the next days lee
lures when he should be wide
awake.
a good test of exhaustion is the
tendency to sleep during a dry lee
ture-and this is no joke.
Experience has proved that
those who retire in time to sleep
at least nine hours, and occasional
ly ten, get far more out of their
course than the "grinds." Some
of the best men habitually take ten
hours. Theoretically a student
should be as fresh at the end of
the term as at the beginning-the
vacation is for another purpose
than sleep.
The whole subject though very
old, is so new to the laymen who
do the damage to schoolboys, par
ticularly in boarding schools, that
there is urgent need of wider pub
licity and much discussion for en-
lightenment. Not only will prop
er sleep permit more to be gained
for less effort, but it will prevent
the exhaustions which so frequent
ly follow courses.
Physicians might teach mothers
that it is harmful to waken children
of any age-they should waken in
the morning naturally. If they
are not in time for school they do
not retire early enough. If they
are sleepy heads it is either the
fault of the parents or the result of
ocular defects.
There is much comment upon
the large number of nidshipmen
who fail at the Naval Acadamy in
a course no worse than in many
colleges. 1t is suspected that they
would do better if they had ten
hours sleep daily.-American
Medicine.

THE Time FOR

Mothers know that the new born
infant must sleep about % hours,
and that this amount is so slowly
lessened that the child still de-
mands II hours when it is about
IL years old. 1t is quite likely
that the normal amount is not re-
duced to 10 hours until about IS
years of age, or perhaps until 2I
years, Nine hours may be requir-
ed until we'll along in years.
To let boys of IA sit up until 10

it is a ong-established custom.

GRASS SCARCER
THAN PURE COLD.
He Tried To Create a Lawn In
G0IdfieId.

Byard Taylor wrote, half CEN
tury ago, that in the gold-town of
Sonora he paid ..ST1 a day for the
board of himself and his mule-S4
for himself and 81 for the mule.
Barley cost 81 quart and grass 81
a handful. Probably all the other
Sonara prices mentioned exceeded
the present Goldfeld quotations on
grass have seldom or ever been
beaten.
An Eastern man who went to
the camp more that a year ago
built a house on the fashionable
residential boulevard" known as
Sundog avenue. 1t was quite a
house. 1t had a cellar. Also one
of those pioneer bathtubs came to
it. And when the wind blew, as
it usually does in Goldfeld, not all
Of it got in.
When the tenderfoot's house
was nearly done it occurred to him
that he would beautify its sur
roundings. There were no trees
in Goldheld except in the Palm
Restaurant in tubs; and the ten
derfoot doubted that elms or
naples like those that sheltered
the New England house where he
was born would grow successfully
in Nevada But he made up his
mind that all events he would
have lawn. He sent for clover
seeds-barrels of it-and for ferti-
lizer-bags of it. Then he hired
a man at S. day to build a lawn
and make it grow.
Most of the Goldfeld water
comes from artesian wells, and all
of it is alkaline, like the soil from
which it is drawn. Moreover, it
cost more than beer. But the hir-
ed man was diligent. He planted
all the clover seed. He was prodi-
gal with the water. People used
to walk miles to see him throw it
around. And he did not spare the
fertilizer. But when the Nevada
wind blows it piles up the alkali
dust and when the sun of a Nevada
summer shines is scorches like
prairie fire.
There were good many symp-
toms of grass, and the heart of the
tenderfoot was often cheered by
them; but at the end of the summer
his lawn consisted of Just two
healthy blades of grass, and they
stood lonely, isolated, widely
severed, in solitary grandeur.
Then the tenderfoot discharged
his hired man, got out his receipt
ed bills, took a pencil and paper
and began to figure. At the end
of fifteen minutes work he had cal
culated that those two blades of
grass had cost him a trifle more
than 81 900 or over $500 apiece.
Anyhow" said he to sympa-
thizing friends, it is the only
lawn in Goldheld'
But he didn't send for lawn
