A FRIEND.

Hank, to my words! Need yon
a friend?
One who will love you to your
journeys end.
Who will seek you-seek IN all
places
Lest your poor deluded soul won
der and stray;
The friend who folds you to his
strong heart
When bleeding and torn by the
worlds cruel art
You stand a parched and thirsty
soul,
1mploring sweet Christ-Jesrs
to make you whole.
Go, live in the heart Of friend.

A TRIP ACROSS THE AT
LANTIC.

What happens on a voyage
across the Atlantic? How DO the
amuse themselves
through the week or more or
life on shipboard? How are they
housed and fed and otherwise
cared for? What are the novel
and interesting things they see
on a great modern passenger
ship? These are questions that
must occur to everyone who has
never made an ocean journey.
The best way to answer them IS
by pictures that tell the whole
story, and this is what is done IN
the April number OF Popular
Mechanics Magazine. A re-
markable series of illustrations
covering seven pages of that mag
azine serve to give a clearer idea
of the daily life and routine OF
a sea voyage than could be con-
veyed by any number of words
These Illustrations are from
photographs made on board the
"Imperator," the largest vesse!
that has ever sailed the seas, and
tell half of the story OF a voy'
age in that vessel. The re.
mainder of the story is to be tolo
in picture form in the May mum
her of the magazine.

5oME THEORIES ON SLEEP
One ls That slumber That Robs One
Of Vears Of Life lie Simply
Bad Habit.

When lower forms of animal life
are experimental with in the lsbo-
ratory the tendency IL to diminished
activity or complete rest (sleep) in
the dark and 10 increased activity in
the light. This chemical effect upon
protoplasm in general becomes
rhythmic with the alternating day
and night, and in the hundred mil
lion years that led to the evolution
Of man the original terrestrial pro
toplasmic rhythm became an estab-
lished function Of animal life. With
the development Of 4 nervous system
this regular periodicity of action and
inaction was doubtless taken over to
a considerable extent by the neurons,
as has occurred with other functions
Of protoplasm. If this be true, may
we not look upon sleep, that robs us
Of % years of activity in our short
lives of three score and ten, as a bad
habit, as an incident or rather acct
dent Of our existence on this partic-
ular planet? One wonders for in
stance as to the relations Of sleep and
activity on a planet like Jupiter,
with a ten-hour day, five hOuD Of
light and five hours Of night, with
Six years Of polar night, and seasons
each three years long. What about
sleep on Saturn, with its luminous
rings and eight mOonA and also five
hours Of day and five hours Of night
How about sleep On planets lit by du-
plex or triplex suns or in the solar
system of Theta 0rionis with seven
suns?-Frederick Peterson, in At
lantic.

were unable to go to their banks
and get the money they had earn
ed and had deposited there.
During that period of time l
myself recall that a check ON the
Treasury of the United States,
drawn by the sergeant-at-arms of
this House, payable to myself for
one month salary, was refused
payment by one of the greatest
banks in the middle West. The
banks locked up the money of
the people in their vaults during
that typical Republican panic,
and they issued their own paper,
in violation of law.
We suspended the operation
of the criminal and civil laws of
his country and permitted
throughout the land every bank
that wanted to do so to violate
the law. On this side of the
House there was not a murmur
of discomfort or disapproval
throughout the dark days Of 1907
not a single political speech
calling attention to this panic,
for which the Republican Party
was directly responsible, was
made on this side of the Cham
Der. 1t was a case where we
applied the faith cure to the
situation, and starting on the
Democratic side of the House
and of the Senate we made
speeches of confidence, and the
inspiration cheated here spread
throughout the country.
"Out in my section a widow
who had saved UP two or three
hundred dollars and hid it away,
because she did not believe in
banks, was so inspired with the
patriotic feeling which started on
this side of the House and ex-
tended throughout the country
that she brought her money from
its hiding place and deposited it
in a local bank, and said: Here
is my money l feel | ought to
eontribpte this toward the Sc
curity Of the banks and business
throughout the land. Those acts
of patriotism, numerous as they
Were, conspicuous as they were
in 1907, can all be traced to the
wave of patriotism which was
inspired by Democratic leaders
here and throughout the country
in the dark days of this Republi-
can panic. Patriotic utterances
so frequent in 1907 and 1908 on
this side of the House are abso-
utely lacking at the present
time on the other side of the
House.
