Life is sometimes saved by dream
warnings. Take the case Of Dir. Har-
vey, the celebrated d~iscOverer Of the
circulation OF the blood. When he was
a young man he set out from London
to go TO Padua, in Italy, the seat OF
the famous university where he wish
ed to study. When he got to Dover
the governor refused to let him enter
his packet to cross the channel. but
declined TO give any reason. The next
day news arrived at Dover that the
packet had been lost with every soul
on board. Then the governor explain
ed his strange conduct. He said that
he bad had n dream OF overwhelming
force. in which he was forbidden to
allow a young man. whose face mp
peared t. him. to enter the boat
When Harvey presented himself the
governor recognized the face seen in
his dream.

Hours OF Sleep.

According to DR.. Frederick B.
Percy OF the Boston university
school of medicine, the least cultur-
ed and least developed adults need
the most sleep, and the higher the
intellectual development the more
prone one is to dreams. The healthy
child of two years passes half its
time in slumber. The adult re-
4uires from seven TO eight hours Of
sleep daily, aged persons not more
than five or six hours. Women
need, as a rule, more sleep than
men. There 7 persons to whom
nine OF ven ten or twelve hours
Of sleep are essential, while Others
seldom sleep more than six out of
the twenty-four. Too much sleep
is possible. Sleep undisturbed il

For the Benefit of
the Carnival Association.

After the Mardi Gras celebration
had been pulled off, the Carnival As
ISOLATION found itself greatly in debt
Some of these debts have been the
cause of considerable embarrassment
and all of them ought to be paid al
the earliest opportunity.
Realizing the importance of raising
this money, the Phunmakers kindly
consented to repeat, for the benefit OF
the Carnival Association, the Pensy
Play performance which scored such
a hit two weeks ago and the play is
TO be put on Monday night.
The Journal earnestly trusts that
every loyal Pensacolian will cooper
ate to get out another record break
ing house Monday night. The play
itself is unquestianably the greatest
amateur performance ever seen in the
city and the object is a particularly
worthy one. The proceeds will not
mean a personal profit to anyone, but
they will go to help pay the last Mardi
Gras celebration debts which every
Pensacolian of course wants to see
paid.

moderate salaries attached do not at
tract them
Young southerners have been slow
to offer themselves for civil service
competitive examinations for consular
appointments because they are too
busy at home. Therefore most or
these positions have been filled by
young men from certain states in the
north and middle west.
In such state as Ohio and Indiana,
for instance, federal jobs might be
classed as one Of the resources of the
state along with agriculture, mining
or manufacturing.
The merit system in consuls is all
right. The merit system in fourth
class postmasters is all right, but the
acid test should be applied to those
In office as we'll as those who desire
to break into office.
In the meantime, most of the bright
and capable young men of the South
are extremely busy in developing this
magnificent and truly beautiful Sec
ton.

The English Sparrow
In Pensacola.

Pensacolians are complaining Of the
English sparrow pest, and The Jour
nal has been asked to advise what can
be done to destroy the little feathered
pirate or to prevent the depredations
Of which he is continually guilty.
Unfortunately. The Journal is I'M
able to suggest any means Of success
fully fighting the sparrow, much less
discriminating him.
The English sparrow was imported
in the United States in 1880 by one
Nicholas Pike and other directors Of
the Brooklyn Institute for the destruc-
ton Of caterpillars. With broods Of
from four to six a season, each num-
bering four to seven eggs, the bird
rapidly overspread the United States.
The sparrow soon came to be recog-
nized as the greatest Of bird pests. He
strips trees of buds, destroys vines
and trees by his corrosive filth, p,ucks
fruit germs from blossoms, ruins fruit
by pecking. devours small fruits and
grains and valuable seeds, plucks

Young Southerners
Are too Busy.

For several decades the thinking
people of the country have been work
ing to raise the plane of the con-
sular service of the United States and
today the service is better than it has
been. Senator Johnston of Alabama,
Senator Bacon, of Georgia and the in
imitable John Sharp Williams have
been lighting to take the consular
service out Of the civil service rules
on the plea that the South has not
been justly treated in filing the vari-
Gus eonsulates.
In a measure this is true and it is
also true that there is no office in
the federal government that cannot
be competently filled by a democrat
ON the other hand these consular po-
sitions are business places and must
be filed by business men. The South
has these capable business men in
plenty. but the South offers so many
inducements for her competent young
business men that political jobs with

aged and venerable Roman pontif has
sufficiently recovered from his danger
Gus illness to be able to perform the
duties of his exalted position.
For one SO well advanced in years,
Pope Plus has shown wonderful Vi
tality. There is no question his ILL
ness was very serious and that the
pope himself anticipated the end. To
rally after those closest to him had
practically abandoned hope, shows
him to be possessed of great recupera-
tive power.
In the course of human events, the
pope cannot live long, but those with
out as well as those within his hold
hope he may be spared several years
yet. His entire life has been one of
great activity.

Will Stand by
Tariff Board.

The demand for reduction Of the
tariff tax on the necessities of life has
been so persistent and so universal
that even the most hardened repub-
hcans in congress dare not ignore it
altogether.
They are still subservient to the
trusts and combines and really desire
the inquitous duties retained, but are
unwilling for the voters to know it,
They find ready -made means Of eva
sion OF duty in the Taft tariff board
idea and it is given out they will offer
to amend the tariff bill now in course
Of construction by the substitution of
some of the late boards findings in
certain schedules.
This action will deceive no one and
will not cause the public to believe the
party was at all sincere in it's creation
of a packed tariff board and it's I'M
successful efforts to have that board
perpetuated.
In the republican caucus a few DAYS
ago, Serene E. Payne, one Of the
trainers of the Ubiquitous Aldrich-
Payne law, led the movement for the
substitution OF the Taft tariff board
findings. This exposed the whole
scheme. The people Of this country
have repudiated the Payne idea on
tariff taxes and any movement led by
him or his associates In former tariff
legislation can only excite the suspicion
and distrust Of the American people.
Such leaders as Payne can DELAY
reform for a few weeks and make the
struggle harder but they cannot seri-
ously embarrass the democratic party,
neither can they prevent the ultimate
enactment of a just and equitable
tariff law.

water to stand and mosquitoes to

terial, defaces buildings and monu-
ments, drives away native birds, and
is in every sense the greatest of all
narauders and pirates among the
feathered tribe.
Laws looking to the repression of
the English sparrow have been passed
in various states and in some places
bounties have been offered for killing
it, but we believe that little or nothing
has been accomplished in preventing
it's increase or it's damage.

The Pensacola Journal put out their
Special Edition Sunday for Santa
Rosa county. 1t was twenty-fou
pages, and every one of them was
filled with nice advertisements and
good reading matter. 1t was chock-
full of information about this county,
gotten up in fine shape, and will, no
doubt, cause many people to sit up
and take notice. Everyone we have
heard, say that the edition is just
fine, and we have heard some Of the
timers say that it contained lots
of information that was a surprise to
them about their own county. The
Journal deserves credit for the edition,
and we hope it will help the county
to get more good people to come and
make their homes here.
