MADE HIS LIVING BY SLEEP
Nicholas Hart, Professional Somno.
list Who Performed In England
in the Eighteenth Century.

A case is on record in England Of
a professional somnolist, who by his
annual performance, it is asserted,
gained Enough to keep himself for
a twelvemonth." The Daily Courant
of August 8, I'LL, contained the fol-
lowing advertisement of the per-
formance: Nicholas Hart, who slept
last year in st. Bartholomew hospi-
tai, intends to sleep this year at the
Cock and Bottle in Little Britain. I"
Some further particulars of the
sleeper are to be found in the Spec
tator for October l of that year. 1t
appears that Hart was every year
seized with a periodical fit of sleep
ing, which began on August 5 and
ended on the eleventh. It's various
stages are thus described: "On the
first of that month he grew dull; on
the second, appeared drowsy; on the
third, fell a-yawning; on the fourth,
began to nod; on the fifth, dropped
asleep; on the sixth was heard to
snore; on the seventh, turned HIM
self in his bed; on the eighth, recov-
cred his former posture; on the
ninth, fell a-stretching; on the tenth,
about midnight, awakened; on the
eleventh, in the morning, called for
little small beer"

VALUE or THE RIGHT NAME
0,cwn In the Great Success Made by
slope House" and the "bIa
Sisters"

The trouble with the worlds char
table intentions is not lack Of mon
ey, but shortage Of ideas. There are
not even ideas enough to furnish
good names for the institutions
which charitable money endows.
Money could have been raised at
any time to help in the reforming Of
convicts. But the world was centu-
ries in grasping the idea that con-
victs could be reformed; and when
that startling notion arrived, it was
dressed in gloom and hedged about
with suspicion.
Then some genius hit upon the
idea of founding a 'sHope Home" to
l. P-TWO Nc
give convicts a fresh start in life
when they come from prison; and
the very name was worth more than
any amount Of money.
Millions Of dollars have been Civ
en- to found helping homes for way
ward girls. But usually the names
given these institutions we're such
as to turn away the very girls who
could be helped. They were names
suggestive of sin and disgrace, rather
than of character and encourage
ment.
Then came along some other gen.
ius and gave the name of ''Big Sis
tiers" to one of these organizations.
The gift of that name made the
half-million endowment which went
with it seem small.

New Women of Persia.


Persian women are essentially fem
mime. They want our dress, our edu
cation, our freedom, our happiness
Dress, 1t will be observed, comes
first in the catalogue of feminine
wants, but a change of dress or Golf
fure seems essential to all revolution
airy movements.
In Teheran, in place of the face veil
of white cloth, the Persian new wom-
an now wears a small square of black
net or woven horse hair; her shoes
have high heels; a European skirt
has taken the place of the short skirt
and narrow trousers; the head kerr
chief is being abandoned. One lady
tried to introduce an outfit to take
the place of the "chuddur," leaving
the face heavily yelled; but it was
too revolutionary even for Teheran.
and, after being mistaken for the ex-
Shah in disguise, the wearer revert
ed in disgust to more orthodox
clothes. In her home the new woman
offers cigarettes instead of the water
pipe.-Moslem World.
