HISTORIC OLIVE TREE.

It is not everywhere that one can
and an olive tree under the branch
es Of which Plato conversed with So
crates about the soul. But in Greece
there still lives such q tree. One is
even tempted to add that st. Paul
himself stopped and rested against
its trunk when on his way to the
city to announce the word of God to
the Epicureans and Stoics. By the
roadside Of the "Sacred Way" which
unites Athens with Eleusis, one
comes upon the olive tree chosen by
Plato a. the site Of his academy, and
which has fourished more than
twenty-three centuries. Here every
day comes a Greek, Mons.
Evangelos Vanyacas, who ruined
himself financially for an idea.
This man sold his cafe that
he might be able to send
a few branches of Plato's olive tree
as peace offerings to all the sover-
eigns Of the world.

DO We SLEEP TOO MUcH7
Writer Thinks We May Be Wasting
Considerable Time That Might
Es Probably Spent.

Perhaps, on account Of popular
opinion and personal habit, W. waste
much time in a jelly-fsh condition
that could be proftably spent in ac-
tive pursuit of our ambitions. The
answer of course depends upon the
nature of our occupation. If there
ia much muscular effort involved,
with a correspondingly large amount
of waste in the cells and blood, eight
hours or more are probably neces-
sary. But if our work is Of a Sc
dentary nature and mainly OF the
brain, there is naturally q smaller
quantity Of accumulated waste, end
less time is required for its removal.
Many are the instances of great men,
past and present, who have lived
healthfully and worked increasingly
and strenuously on only four or five
hours Of sleep, or half the laborer's
portion. Surely we are not to sup
pose that those men were or are
physically different from others, but
rather that by inclination or necessi-
ty they have developed a habit OF
sleeping intensely for a short period,
instead of lightly for a longer period,
with resulting gain of time and eff
fciency.-Fred w. Eastman, in At
lantic.
