Wanted Bread; Had Courage.

One day, riding along the road,
General Gordon came upon regi-
mental prayer meeting, which was
Very impressive The men were
Enceling or standing with bowed
heads about the chaplain, who was
praying in voice Of wonderful
compass. The general checked his
horse and removed his hat and wait
cd for the end of the prayer. The
chaplain asked the Lord to give
the men of Lees army supreme
courage to meet the great crisis
that had come upon them, fortitude
to bear new privations and troubles,
strength to fight against the pur-
suing enemy. just then a tall pri-
waite rose from his knees and shout
ed TO the chaplain: ''Pray for
bread, chaplain; pray for bread!
We have courage to spare, but to
fight we must have something to
eat. Pray for bread!" This broke
up the prayer meeting.

Sleep should be invigorating. no,
cnervating. and the following the
ory was advanced by man who in
his earlier days had slept for many
months under the stars on veldt and
in jungle:
1T is the mattress and the pill
low that are responsible for half the
trouble OF the insomnia. The ideal
resting place is the ground, with its
natural covering of soft grass. The
next most comfortable bed is
wood floor overlaid with soft car
pet or rug. The yielding mattress
does not rest the muscles. which re-
main all night in condition Of al
ternating relaxation and tension.
When the sleeping place is fixed
and hard they adapt themselves to
ii and remain quiescent.
Furthermore, the spine and
nerve centers Of the bed sleeper are
exposed all night to the heat of the
mattress, which is the cause Of the
sense OF enervation SO commonly
felt when one awakens.
"The pillow is even more ener-
waiting than the mattress. A we'll
stuffed saddle whose cleft center
permits the circulation Of air, soft,
yet unyielding, is the ideal head
rest. Next TO it perhaps should be
placed the japanese neck block.

LONDON rHEATERs.
Tho Historic Pit That 10 Fenced on
From tho Stalls,

Tho Historic Pit That 10 Fenced OF
From the Stalls.
In the orchestra Of a London theater
there are only eight or ten rows of
stalls, and Immediately behind them is
the pit, which is walled of by a bar
rier or fence that stretches clear across
the theater. In the pit there are no
individual seats-merely rows Of long
benches on which the people sit rather
closely together.
1t ts, of course, impossible to reserve
seats in advance, and people who are
going to the pit have to come early on
the evening Of the performance in or
der to secure the best places.
Hence in the case Of a popular play
a long queue Of people may be seer at
Z O'Clock stretching from the pit door
all along the sidewalk, waiting for the
house to open. They keep their places
very patiently in line. united by a com.
nor mood of pleasurable anticipation.
One manager awhile ago made the
experiment Of selling reserved seats in
the pit at the usual price, but to this
the pit people objected strenuously on
the ground that they could seldom
know in advance just when they would
find themselves possessed of that hap
py combination Of money and an even
ing off which would permit Of theater
going and preferred to take their
chances waiting in line when the for
tunate opportunity arrived.
The pit is patronized by people Of a
very cstimable class and Is often fire.
quented by we'll educated men and
women who wish to save money and
do not carr to dress. Whereas a seal
in the stalls costs half a guinea Tor ap-
proxlmately $3.50, a place in the pit
costs only two and six Tor approx
mately 60 cents), and the play can be
seen very nearly as well.
In the pit the same program that is
sold in the stalls for sixpence is sold
for twopence. and the pit has a re-
freshment bar Of its own which is
cheaper than the main bar of the thea
ter. or course the real reason why
there is a pit in the London theater is
that there has always been a pit. That
in itself is sufficient for the British
mind, but it must be admitted that the
system is on grounds of common sense
an exceedingly good one.-Bookman.
