Sleep and Altitude,

Some Swiss doctors maintain that
the amount of sleep should be rcgu-
lated by altitude. Too much sleep,
they say, is az harmful as too much
food or drink. In low lying districts
seven hours slumber may be enjoyed
with impunity, but UP III the noun
tains five hours is enough. These sleep
specialists also ban the practice of
remaining in bed in the morning, half
awake, and insist on the necessity OF
rising as soon as sleep fails. AS a re-
suit of their pronouncements endeav-
ors have been made to form sleeping
societies in Switzerland for the pur-
pose Of regulating the amount OF sleep
to be taken in the different disti lets.

Brief HOLIDAY,

Joy is like bird in flight. which
dips In its passing and touches IN
with its wings. It comes from out OF
a far country and Il tracks its way
on high. After that brief hoverihG
It will recover It's former attitude, itD
speed, and song. Its throbbing heart
passes high over our throbbinE cit
les and frozen hills. As we watch
that flight of untrammeled wing w0
wish that somehow we might cap
ture that blitheness and teach It to
dwell among men. Why should Il
pause but never abide? We would
have that Joy abide 30 hxedly that Il
would become peace. The holiday
season Is like that. II stoops for
q little out Of space, draws near our
dim earth, and sheds its brightness
among men. AS swiftly as It came. 30
swiftly 1t goes again. And yet each
year 1t draws more close and stays
for longer time; its radiance is re-
vealed to US more clearly, fun OF
grace and truth.-CoIliers WeStly.

Strange London Elaurs.

A few years ago there used to stand
on the pavement of Oxford street In
all weathers a venerable white-haired
gentleman, dressed respectfully In
high hat and frock coat, who accosted
each member Of the throng of sun
.worshipers, moving eastward In the
morning, westward In the evenings,
uttering In a quick tone of deep con-

stopped to listen to the old revIyalist,

Doctors Fees Of Old.
Doctors nowadays don't get so
much more than they used to get.
At the beginning Of the eighteenth
century the usual fee to graduate
IN physic was about $3.50, though he
usually asked twice that amount. Old
Sawbones, who was only a licensed
physician, couldn't very we'll expect
more than S1!6S, though ne usually
had hopes of getting $3.50 a visit. A
surgeons fee was a quarter q mile,
whether the Journey were far or near,
and to that charge he added a quarter
for blood-letting. and II the patient
wanted his arm or leg cut or It cost
him $25.
