Do We slasp Too Muehf

Perhaps. on account of popular opin
ion and personal habit, we waste much
time in jellyfish condition that could
be more probably spent In active
pursuit of our ambitions. The answer,
Of course, depends upon the nature
of our occupation. If there is much
muscular effort involved. with cor
responding large amount Of waste in
the cells and blood, eight hours or more
are probably necessary. But If our
work is of a sedentary nature and
mainly of the brain there Is naturally
a smaller quantity of accumulated
waste, and less time is required for its
removal. Many are the instances of
great men, past and present, who have
lived BEAUTIFULLY and worked unceas-
ingly and strenuously on only four or
Eve hours of sleep. or half the laborer's
portion. Surely we are not to suppose
that those men were or are physically
different from others. but rather that
by inclination or necessity they have
developed habit Of sleeping intensely
for a short period instead of lightly
for longer period. with resulting
gain of time and eficiency.-Atlantie
Monthly.
Sunflowers Useful.
SunflowerS are attractive. and a
place is always more homelike when
they are planted in abundance near 1t.
Sunfowers give dignity and charm to
the farmstead. and their presence de-
note taste and culture Of the home
maker. The seed makes good poultry

CLAYTON LOOKS LIKE A WINNER.

Hon. j. K. Clayton, of Concordia par
ish, La, candidate for Congress from the
Fifth Louisiana District, looks TO be the
winner in the first primary, which will
be held early in September. In our opin-
ion Mr.. Clayton is the best man for the
Office. He has served his people in the
General Assembly and in every instance
he has shown that he is the same Clayton
who makes the interests Of the people his
first consideration. We have heard of
Mr.. Clayton for years, have watched his
record as lawyer and legislator, as advo-
cate of the best measures for the improve
ment of the Mississippi river and protec-
ton OF the riparian lands and feel war
ranted in saying that he is man Of
sterling qualities of heart and mind,
man of the highest worth and ability,
a Louisianian among Louisianians, un-
swerving in his devotion to his State and
in the discharge of his duty as a man,
citizen and legislator.
lie HOuiihdtiOn dc DCuiOCfdOlC Cdh-
didate for the General Assembly was won
by large majority over two opponents
and his magnificent record in Baton
Rouge is known to every one who takes
an interest in public affairs. He hiss
shown himself to be an able, vigilant and
wise servant, whose only motive his been
to serve his people for their eSod by Sc
curing the enactment of pepper laws in
2 their interest.
He is admirably endowed by God-giyen
gifts, nature and temperament for the
duties and responsibilities of alaw-maker
to succeed Mr. Ransdell. A more fitting
successor could not be found. He can
render his people the most excellent SER
vice in Washington and from the reports
we have received we feel safe in ventur-
ing the prediction that he will be the next
Congressman from the Fifth District Of
Louisiana. -Natchez Democrat.
