INSPECTED LONG TREsTLE.

The members OF the Commissioner
court went out yesterday and inspect.
ed the long trestle az the Navasoia
river on the lola road. They found
the trestle to be In pretty bad condi-
ton and badly In need OF repairs. Com
missioner Arlington informed the
Eagle reporter that the necessary re-
pairs would be made as sCcn as posi-
Bile and that the trestle would then
be- in good condition for at least two
more years. The Eagle is glad to
note that the trestle Is TO be kept ~,
for we have no more important piece
OF roadway than this. and Il is the
means OF bringing thousands Of dollars
worth Of trade to Bryan annually. Mr..
Arlington said FIVE double buggies
crossed the trestle while they were
there yesterday and as they returned
10 town they met the buggies going
back home and all Of them were loaded
with goods purchased from Bryan
merchants
Sheriff Conlee.. Collector Wipprecht
and others accompanied the court TO
tine trestle and spent the day hunting.
A nice lot of squirrels we're killed and
a fine dinner was enjoyed by the mem
beers OF the court and their guests.

ENOUGH SLEEP FOR CHILDREN.

Jean Williams n. D.. who is conducting a de-
partment Of advice TO mothers for The Woman's
Home Companion" says:
Let me say few words to the mothers who
forget that their growing children need long sleep
ing hours, in order that healthy growth shall be
continued and a well organized nervous system
become established. It is especially important that
good judgment shall be exercised during puberty
Great physical demands are made at this period
ana the wise mother makes every effort 20 avoid
for her children unnecessary dissipation OF energy
1T is not easy 20 state definitely the number of
hours OF sleep required, there individual re-
ouirements that viii materially modify any rules: :
stll, We may safely say that In the great majority
OF cases after early infancy when the normal chTd
sleeps most OF the time. at least twelve out OF the
twenty-four hours should be spent in sleep. Until
six years OF age the daily nap should be added 20
this. The twelve hours OF sleep should continue
until the tenth year. and longer II the child is deli
cate or OF especially sensitive nervous organization
From ten 10 fourteen years ten hours OF sleep are
usually required, and often twelve would be ad-
vantageous; from fourteen until full maturity the
sleeping hours are. rule, irregular than
az any other period Of fe and then the effort must
be made 70 compensate for the short hours by
longer Indulgence when opportunity Offers remem-
bering that few have the endurance 10 cope with
the complexities OF modern life and thrive on less

MoHAMADI-BEGUM's INFLUENCE.
Her Work for Advancement of Indian Women
To Be Enlarged.

Though the death OF Mohamadi- Begun, the Ind
ian woman who did much for her sister women
OF that country, great blow to their progress
in one way 1t has given impetus to the move
ment for female education there. 1t inspired TOT
instance the founding Of the Mohamadl-Begum
Memorial Fund. which is at the back OF seVeFai
plans taking shape.
Out Of the secluson OF the zenano IN whlch
Indian women are supposed TO remain, busying
themselves with household affairs now and then
some woman emerges who shows something OF the
spirit OF Aiohamadi- Begun. One OF these women
IS Mrs. Hasan AbId Jafry. of Hasan MauZil. Shah
gauJ, Agra, secretary Of the Mohamadi-Begum
Memorial Fund Even as girl Safdari khatoon,
as her name was then. cared about the widening OF
the horizon of the women OF India. Now she is
working hard for two objects-a home and school
for women and a library. 1T is understood she
says in her quaint English, ito build large house
and 20 keep the poor children and women. The
inferior and old women will be put in II and sup
piled with food etc. and TO let them die in peace
The young ones will be required 10 practise some
art and the children will be educated. Also, we
wish to establish a library large scale q.
The female Of country is generally illiterate
Sometimes the women are prohibited from learning
by the religious restrictions and sometimes by Gus
tom The only task Indian women are usually in
trusted with is the household management. No
educational moral political points they have to
study discuss"
Money is being collected for the building OF the
home and the library, and books and papers for
the latter Mohamadi- Begun published two papers
for women. and in countless other ways advanced
the movement for the education OF Indian women
i1nmeasurably. When she died, at her home In
simla letters came from all India 10 her hus-
band letters from English people and natives. from
government officials and private citizens, full OF
expressions Of regret.
