MIRACLE OF SLUMBER
BEST OF ALL MEDICINES, As

American Nervousness, So Prevalent
a Complaint, 10 Charged to the
Habit Of Doing Without Suff7.
Client Natural Rest.

The railroad man who had been 81
hours without sleep was good natured
about 1t, though 1t was evident that he
was verging on a nervous condition
that might we'll render him incompe
tent. There is an occasional person
who can dispense with sleep in an
astonishing manner, the New York
Mail observes. Yet it is not certain
that such persons really do escape the
penalty. It has been asserted that
Napoleon's later failures Of judgment
were the result of an unnerving that
followed his earlier -four hours

practiced.
1t is being said by medical observ.

is not little attributable to the so

segment Of the "a hour day. 1t is
probably true that no other country is
so exacting on the full business day
That we insist on. 1t must begin
promptly and early. But the social
demand is quite as imperative. Shall
not a man 60 out with his wife in the

all day?
She Is quite ready. She took a nap

our money mostly in the evening, ex

shops. Can man take time for sleer
when he is spending his money? No
more than when he is earning 1t. The
result Is that there Is always lack OF
sleep.
There is no medicine like sleep

or things nowadays, ranging from
chewing gum to insurance policies
AT recent annual meeting of one
automatic company 1t was reported
that since the company commenced
operations a few years ago 1t had sole
4SS,OOO,000 Of packages through pen
ny-in-the-slot machines. This indi
Gates the hold these mute purveyors
OF LIES minor luxuries have on the
public taste.
These automatic machines are be
coming steadily more complex, more
ingenious and more perfect; they are
developing moral and intellectual quail
tiles. The automatic restaurant buf
fet that was established some years
ago In New York was so intelligent
that 1t rejected spurious coins, and SO
moral that 1t returned you the 25-cent
piece you put in by mistake.
1t Is frightening to think what
might happen should these machines
developing just little further, grow
aggrieved at getting no wages and
one day unitedly rise in revolt. One
did revolt two years ago. It was a
boot-cleaning machine. A patron thrust
his foot in and apparently thrust 1t
IN little too far, irritating the ma
chine. which gripped him like wise
and proceeded furiously to put bril-
liant polish on the calf Of his leg.
Friends tugged at the victim, striving
unavailingly to pull him from the
grasp of the machine. Mechanics
were telephoned for, and It was an
hour before they were able to release
him by dissecting tho whole front Dor
ton Of the apparatus.
Should the automatic machines ever
rebel Berlin would suffer most, for
there they have reached such q pitch
that II everybody left tho city It could
almost go on running itself. Ono gets

"People In Germany have much
more money to spend than here in
America, even though the ratio OF pop.

Steinway. just before sailing for Ger

"The German way is to pay cash for

ANARCHY IN A STATE PRISON.

The country has read with astonish-
ment of the rebellion of the convicts
in the penitentiary at Jackson, Mich,
and the confessed inability of the pris-
on authorities to cope with it. Private
citizens and even the militia have been
called upon to control men undergo
ing punishment for crime in an insti-
tuition supposed to be amply equipped
for keeping them secure and in sub
lection and enforcing on them the
penalty of the laws they violated.
1t is difficult for the average citizen
to corrective how such a state of affairs
can be brought about. But the state
ments made by the newspapers of
Michigan make the cause clear. In
the language of one of them, the out
break must be considered the fruit of
years of political Interference, faddism
and laxity in discipline, superimposed
part Of the time on crooEedness in
management" The present warden
has probably done his best, but he was
appointed for political reasons and
had no particular fitness for the place.
Without experience or special ability
he was placed in charge of a prison
already demoralized and Furthermore
was hampered by limitations put on
him by politicians and sentimentaiists.
1t is known that there has been a
long standing, criminal traffic in drugs
between keepers in The institution and
prisoners. There has been great lax
ity in examining incoming and outgo-
ing mail. The passage of contraband
goods has been easy. The sort of dis
cipline that has prevailed is made
plain by the fact that convicts suffer
ing just punishment for desperate
crimes were able to arm themselves
with knives. razors. bricks and slaves
and engage in a four-days' battle with
armed guards.
The lesson is a striking and impress
sive one. 1t shows the logical results
of making appointments in the public
service for political considerations, re-
gardIess of merit.
