Necessary Hours Of Sleep.

The belief that the hours of sleep
should be artiicially restricted is prev
alent. Yet 1t is contrary TO ordinary
good sense. If the human body does
not need sleep for the upbuilding of its
tissues 1t will not call for it, A rule
of health which can not be wrong is
to sleep. If possible, as long as any
inclination for 1t exists. The er-
roneous view on this subject is un-
doubtedly due to the fact that when
the mind and body are thoroughly
rested 1t is often difficult to arouse the
mind from its comfortable lethargy.
On the other hand. the man who is un-
der a mental strain and sleeps only
five or six hours at night is keen and
alert soon after awakening. But it Is
an unhealthy activity. His nerves are
at high tension. He is on edge. SO
to speak. Such strain. long con-
tinued, results inevitably in nervous
breakdown.

Savage Animals Provide GoSd Sport
for Hunters.

"Shoji's quietude has just been dis
turbed by big wild-boar hunt" says
Japanese paper. Lately the cold
weather has driven the wild boars
down near the villages. The other day
party OF hunters routed out seven
or eight boars on the hills. A hunter
named Krahei wounded one of the
unsighty creatures and the animal
started down the hill to upset things
generally. Reaching the tiny village
of Furuseki, he rushed through flour
mill and attacked a woman who was
cleaning wheat in shed hard by,
injuring her somewhat badly. A farm
er named Ito Kunichiro. hearing the
woman's cry for help. rushed to her
assistance and struck the boar with
his mattock, thus drawing the ami
malls attention to himself The noise
now drew others to the spot and when
the hunters reached the village they
found that the peasants had succeeded
in giving the boar his quietus. and

THE HAYWOOD TRIAL.

Counsel for William ID. Haywood at
Boise, in their efforts to discredit the
testimony of Harry Orchard, put a
witness on the stand whose testimony
strongly indicated that the explosion
in the indicator mine was an acct
dent and not crime
In the Haywood trial at Boise, Idaho,
a ruling by the court materially limited
the showing Of the defense as to the
alleged counter conspiracy by the
mine owners.
William F. Davis, who, according to
Harry Orchard, was leader in sever
al of the mine crimes in Idaho. was
put on the stand by the Haywood de-
Tense and denied Orchards state
ments. His testimony was weakened
somewhat by Senator Borah's severe
cross-examination
The first direct testimony in the de-
tense of William ID. Haywood was
chiefly directed toward showing that
Harry Orchard, blaming Frank Steun-
enberg for the loss of his interest in
4, the Hercules mine, had threatened to
have revenge by killing him, and that
the conduct of Orchard and X. G. Ster-
ling, both before the independence
explosion. when they were frequently
seen together, and afterwards, when
Sterling called off the bloodhound that
was following Orchards trail, justified
the inference that the mine owners in
spired the crime.
In an address that occupied two ses-
sions of the district court at Boise,
Idaho, Clarence barrow, of Chicago,
outlined to the jury the defense OF
William d. Haywood to the charge
that he murdered former Gov. Steun-
enberg. In broad description, it is to
be denial of every material count In
the testimony of Orchard, with show
ing that Orchard killed Steunenberg
because of private grudge borne by
the loss of rich share in the great
Hercules mine, and explanations OF
the independent circumstances that
tend to connect three co-defendants
with Orchards life and operations.

Railway accidents have been usually
asoribed to insufficient equipment.
Prof. F. III. Dixon, in an article in the
Atlantic Monthly, concludes that the
real difficulty is not mechanical but,
human. 1t is not the failure or the
lack Of the block signal that causes
the trouble, nor would the installation
of automatic stops and other devices
cure the evil. THE fundamental
weakness OF American railroading
from the standpoint of safety is the
widespread and almost universal lack
Of discipline" This conclusion ac-
cords with the experience of the rase.
Disciplined armies poorly equipped
have triumphed over armies we'll &C.
coutered and provisioned, but lacking
in discipline. 1t is likely, however,
that railroad employees will point out
at once that the lack of discipline be-
gins in the poor generalship of the
managers who demand impossible
things of their soldiers.

Prince Louis of Orleans, regarded
by the monarchists of Brazil as heir to
Dom Pedro's throne, was not allowed
to land in Rio de Janeiro, when the
ship on which he was sailing to Para
quay entered the harbor. The Brazil
ian authorities regard as still in force
the decree of Punishment against Dom
Pedro's family, passed by the provis-
ional government Immediately after
the overthrow of the empire in 1889.
Prince Louis is the second son of the
former crown princess of Brazil and
the French prince, CASTOR of Orleans.
He was born in Brazil and the mon-
archists rally round him rather than
round his crippled elder brother.

South America has reused the royal
lists to a new interest in their cause,
and is not without interest to states
men in North America. But the pros
pect of royalist rising in Brazil, still
more Of its success, is remote indeed.

Mr.. Rockefeller has been missing
since early in the week, when news
went abroad that Judge Lands in this
city had ordered subpoena isued for
him and had declared that the head
OF the Standard Oil company a ruler
or kings, was to be treated just as
an ordinary citizen wanted at court,
that 1T was necessary for the court.
before filming Mr.. Rockefeller's COM
pany many thousands of dollars, to
know something about the finances
OF the company, and that Mr. Rookie
Teller would doubtless be able to
throw some light upon the subject.
Other officers were also to appear.
Subpoenas were served upon several,
and it was discovered that two were
spending the heated term across the
water.
Attorneys begged in vain that the
great oil king be spared the ignominy
OF appearing in court; they offered to
bring forth other witnesses to testify
who could really tell more about
Standard Oil than Mr.. Rockefeller,
but the court was firm. Then the at
torneys pleaded that the much wanted
millionaire is an old man, they didn't
speak OF his gray hairs, but of the
many winters he has passed; that he
had reached that stage in life when
he could no longer fight, when he
should be allowed to pass his days
peacefully and quietly, surrounded
with his family and hear reports from
his sons Sunday school class. But
the judge was flint hearted
The subpoenas were issued and on
Saturday Judge Lands fearing that
Mr.. Rockefeller might elude him, is
sued another subpoena. The first was
good only in New York, the second
is good wherever John d. is found.
And now the difficulty is to find
him. 1t has not been announced that
secret service men or plain clothes
men have been put upon the case.
but there have been no reports of his
booking for foreign shores, although
the steamship docks have not been
watched for him. 1t is believed that
he Is still in America.

The Case or Central America.

AS the preservation of peace by the
Central American republics seems i'm.
possible, it has been suggested that
the United States and Mexico unite In
a protectorate over them after they
have been combined into a single fed
Grafton. Mexico and the United
States already exercise an informal
oversight over affairs in Central Amer
lea. A little more than year ago
this country practically forced two OF
the warning republics to come tc
terms. This spring American war
ships patrolled the coasts of Honduras
Nicaragua and Salvador, protecting
the property of foreigners so effective
Iy that they seriously interfered with
the activity of the contending armies.
The Mexican government has lately
struck a hard blow at revolutions by
demanding that Guatemala surrender
the Guatemalans responsible for the
murder in Mexico of former Guate-
malan president. If Mexico insists
that murder is murder even when
done in the name of Central American
revolution, the revolutionists will take
thought before they rise in arms.
There is growing determination in
the minds of Mexicans and Ameri-
cans, says Youths Companion, that If
the Central Americans will not con-
duct themselves properly, force must
be used. Whether the outcome will
be a federation and formal protec-
torate it is useless to prophesy. SeY-
eral previous attempts at federation
have failed. All the republics have
agreed that arbitration is the proper
way to settle disputes, and formal
treaty providing for arbitration has
been concluded. But when dispute
arises, the republics disregard the
treaty and rush to arms. AS the
business of the world draws more
closely to the Caribbean sea some
way will be found to make the coun-
tries bordering it safe for the resi-.
dence of business men.
