THE VALUE OF SLEEP.
Man Could not Sleep for Twenty
Years.

There should be material for a
weird, tragic epic in the news story
telling how a man in Pennsylvania
having been struck with lighting, was
unable to sleep for 20 years, and
how at least he died, grateful for the
belated sleep which came to him.
The clever writer's who have evolv'
ed philosophers from clothes and
other prosaic things have overlooked
an obvious opportunity in the phe-
nomenon of sleep, which is almost
our most treasured privilege, vel
which receives so rarely the tribute
which it deserves.
Shakespeare, who touched all sub
jects, refers with grand forlornness
to sleep, that knits up the ravell d
sleeve Of care" but for the most part
the poets and philosophers have been
silent on this subject which suggests
strange and incomprehensive things
Only the doctors have wrestled with
the problem extensively-and almost
without avail.
But there can be no doubt that life
would speedily lose it's SAVIOR if the
benefcent sandman were to forget
us.
It is not the body alone that longs
for rest after few hours exertion
the mind, no less insistently, demands
the bliss of oblivion, after the worlds
waves of sensation have left GER
tain number of impressions.
We would all be a race Of cynics
and pessimists if we could not forget
all things once in every "a hours, and
greet the day afresh, after the world
and it's panorama has been effaced
from the eyes.
The man about town" is cynic
not because he is wayward in mi91
or in morals, but because he sleeps
too little, and sees too much of the
world. And one who sleeps too much
may be a dullard-but what a capa-
city he has for the simpler joys OF
life.
We have been touched by the clos.
ing paragraph of the story telling OF
the death of this man who could not
sleep for 20 years.
1.-TWO nights ago he called his
wife to his bedside. Thank heaven,
I think I'm going to fall asleep he
said. He never wakened."
If the doubters be right and there
shall be no eternity for man, may We
not still be pacified by the thought
of that long sleep, some day, when
the sound Of children's voices shall
drift up into the burial ground, and
robins shall come to sing mathis and
vespers to the rising and the setting
sun?-St. Louis Times.

NEGRESS MAKES SOCIETY BOIL.
Black Graduate of School Determined
To Attend Dance.

New York, June 27.-The determ-
ination of Irene Vandervale, a negress
and pupil in the East Orange High
school, to attend the dance of the
graduating class of that school in the
fashionable Women's Club rooms at
Orange on June "a, has set the so.
cial atmosphere of the two Oranges
boiling, and complications Of the
most preplexing order are in pros
pect.
AS a member of the graduating
class of the school the girl received
two tickets to the dance, which is one
of the features of the ending of the
high school curriculum. In addition
her sister, who may also be gradual
ed, received two tickets to be used in
the event that she passes the final
examination.
These two are the only negro girls
in class of about 80 boys and girls,
many of whom are scions of some of
the most exclusive families of the
most prominent social set in the
Oranges.
When the parents of these pupils
learned that the two negro girls in
tended to take part in the dance the
news spread through society like an
electric flash.
Offers to relieve the surcharged at
nosphere by purchasing the four
tickets at any price were extended to
the girls and were Indignantly reject
ed Failing in this, some of the white
girls, unable to contemplate with
complacency the social mingling of
races on the waxed floor of the fash
ionable Women's Club when the two
girls should bring their negro escorts
to the dance, began to decline the in
vitations.
How far this movement has ex-
tended no one knows, but the par
ents of the white girls are in. despair
Of success by coneiliatory measures,
as James N. Vandervale, father of the
two negro girls, is stanch support
er of the rights of his daughters to
share all public honors and privileges
in common with the white people.
1t was he who led the fight against
the segregation of foreign element
from the other pupils in the grammar
schools a few years ago, as a result
of which the board of education
compromised by establishing a class
for backward pupils into which some
of the descendants of foreigners
found their way, much to the relief
of the best circles of society.

is how to make herself attractive.
But. without health, it is hard for her
to be lovely in face, form or temper.
A weak, sickly woman will be ner-

kidney poisons show in pimples, blot
ches, skin eruptions and a wretched
complexion. But Electric Bitters al
ways prove a godsend to women who
want health, beauty and friends. They

very salt, cover with hot water and allow
it to stand for ten minutes. Score the rind
of the slices and fry slowly until they are a

heating flour in the fat that has been tried

two tablespoonfuls of flour to each cup of
milk This is a good way to use skim
milk which is as rich in protein as whole

dish.
