Slaeplesaneas.

A favorite dictum of the physiolo- gists, emphasized in their latest works, relates to the dangers of sleeplessness. "Sleep is more important to life than nutrition, and insomnia kills sooner than starvation." to quote the exact words of one. This has been kind of tradition in medicine and is reiter- ated again and again in these books without any real evidence, so far as l know, to support it. Taught to every medical man of older generations and to every medical tiedgling of today. it finds its way to general public accept ance. begetting in the lay mind ter TOTS of insanity and death which haunt every unfortunate victim of in- somnia. The fear of not sleeping is one of the commonest causes of in somnia. Yet l do not know of any medical evidence anywhere of disas, trous results from insomnia and have myself never seen any harm arise from sleepiessness apart from the harm done by the fears and worries asso- ciated with the condition.-Atlantic Monthly

COROT, THE ARTIST.
His Whole Life Was Song, and Meio.
 dy Permeated His Works.

dy Permeated Ills Works.
 Those painters who also have the feeling and some of the proficiency of a musician reveal it in their work. They are usually colorists, with more eye for the colors and tones of nature than her shapes and forms.
 Such a one was Corot He had a good tenor voice and played on the violin. He sang at his work and sang, too, when he was not painting, but wandering through the forest of Fon- tainebleau or around the village of Vile d'Avray, absorbing the beauty of the scene and storing up impressions for future pictures. In fact. his whole long life of seventy-nine years was to Le Pere Corot, as his friends loved to call him. song.
 And one feels 1t in his pictures. at least in his later ones, by which he is best known. Their coloring is subdued. like a lullaby or waking song. for it was the dawn or twilight that he pre- ferred to paint. His works vibrate with the hum of melody, and here and there is an accent of effect that trem- bles like the string of his violin.
 Corot's long life was a remarkable instance of man being able to con tinue to the end the springtime of his youth.

Power of Falling Water.

Still water gives no power. no en- ergy. Falling water has only as much power as is represented by It's weight. A gallon of falling water will develop as much power as a falling block of iron weighing CPS pounds. Of course. the greater the fall the greater the pow CT developed. Water falling one foot will develop pressure of .43 pounds per square inch of pipe The same amount of water falling 100 feet will develop pressure of 4331 pounds per square inch of pipe. Falling 1000 feet it would produce a pressure of 433.O9 pounds per square inch of pipe. To compute the power of falling water 1t is necessary to multiply the volume of flowing water in cubic feet per minute by it's weight, G2.5 pounds. and this product by the vertical height of the fall in feet, and divide by 33.0OO, the number of foot pounds representing one horsepower for one minute.-New York World.

TORTURE OF THE ."PICKET."
A Form of Military Punishment In
 Enoland In Byqone Days.

England In eygone Days.
 The "picket," an ingenious form of punishment in use in England in the days of old, was generally inflicted on cavalry and artillery men and was singularly brutal bit of torture.
 A long post. near which stood stool, was driven into the ground. The de- Iinquent was ordered to mount the stool, and his right hand was fastened to hook in the post by moose. drawn up as high as it could be stretched. round his wrist. A stump the height of the stool, with it's end cut to round and blunt point, was also driven into the earth close to the post. Then the stool was taken away. and the sufferer had nothing to rest his bare feet upon but the stump, which, though it did not usually break the skin," says Captain Grose. "put him in great torture, his only means of relief being by resting his weight on his wrist, the pain of which soon became intolerable."
 One can very well believe him, espe. cially when he makes the addition that a man was not infrequently left to stand in this position for half an hour although the orthodox period of en- durance was fifteen minutes.-London Graphic.

Making a New Nose.

In a German medical journal Pro- lessor Max Joseph of Berlin describes a method of making new nose where the original member has been destroy ed by disease or accident. An arm is fixed above the head and encased In plaster of paris so that 1t cannot be moved. A piece of the skin oval tn outline is then cut partially free from the arm and sewn to one side of the nose. After 1t has taken root in this new position the flap is cut free from the arm, which Is now removed from the plaster of paris encasement. and sewn to the other side of the nose by its remaining edge. This gives suffi- cient skin covering. The nose is now built up by strips of bone taken from the shin and a straight profile Is ob- tained.

DIET AND GOOD HEALTH.
Food Should Be Carefully Selected and Properly Varied.

Food Should Be Carefully Selected and
 Properly Varied.
 The eminent American physiologist Lusk says that nature, through the de- vice of appetite, usually provides against the use of improper food, but that reason must play part in food selections. A glass of milk and piece of pie are poor materials for the brain of an active business man whose seden- tary life requires 2,5OO heat units or calories to maintain his body machin- cry.
 We need also water, salts, proteins and certain newly discovered sub- stances called vitamines. All these materials are to be found in milk. beans, bread and other great funda- mentals of nutrition. Solutions of cane sugar or of glucose are not the exclu- sive mainstays of life, and yet glucose taken alone yields 2,5OO calories at a cost of 1-6 cents, and 2,500 calories in the form of cane sugar cost 1-3 cents.
 Glucose is the cheapest food fuel known, but, like cane sugar or butter fat, is not complete food in that 1t does not contain everything necessary for life Commercial glucose is abso- lutely harmless. A man must have sufficient calories fin his diet if he is to live properly and perform labor sat isfactorily.- York World.

Military Files,

"Files on parade means a body of soldiers, troop or company marching in file or line, not abreast, but one after another. We speak of the frank and file," meaning soldiers who are formed so that they march abreast and also in ranks following each other. The term in general means the con- mon soldiers below the rank of non commissioned officers. There are other file terms in military tactics, such as file right" and file left" As Kipling uses the term it means the common soldiers who have been called out for the purpose described in the poem of Danny Deever."- Press.

Self Respect and Water.

Some years ago was inspecting
a railroad roundhouse in southern
Texas, and noticed men going to
the master mechanics clerk and
getting keys Inquiries brought out
the information that these men
were engineers and fremen coming
in from their runs, who desired to
battle before going home. A record
of the baths has been kept and
showed that practically every crew
availed itself Of the privilege Of
bathing. There was no way of
measuring the benefit to the rail-
road, but it was surely far in ex-
cess of the cost of the baths. Even
where it is not practicable to fur.
nish regular baths, sanitary wash
bowls should be provided, so that
the men can at least clean their
hands and faces before going home.
A man who will walk the streets
with a dirty face soon loses his self
respect and ambition.-C. J. Morri-
son in Engineering Magazine.

was close and exciting and was
hard fought from the time Little
Deer grounded out to Hates til
Monahan was called out at the
plate in the ninth.
In the final frame, with one
down, Lochobee's hot grounder
to short was booted. Monahan
stepped up, picked out a good
one and drove it to deep right
center for three stations, scoring
Lochobee. Barnett went up
with orders to sacrifice but he
popped out to short. Beal foul
ed one ball. had another strike
called on him and Mony hit it up
for home. He was called out at
the plate by Quarles on one of
the closest decisions the local
fans have had the displeasure of
seeing in a long time. There was
some hard kicking but the deci-
sion stood.

NEVER SAW HIS FAMOUS FOE.
Wellington AZ No Time Caught Even
a Glimpse of Napoleon.

In an article on Waterloo in the
Newfoundland Quarterly the Right
Hon. Sir Edward Morris, prime min
lister of Newfoundland, tells the fol
lowing story:
King Edward VII. as a boy wor-
SHIPPED Wellington, who lived fol-
eleven years after the birth of the
future king. One morning the
young Prince of Wales displayed
with pride drawing WHICH he had
made representing Napoleon on
horseback leveling a pistol at the
head of the duke, who was advanc-
ing with sword drawn to cut down
his enemy. Just at this moment
the Duke of Wellington entered the
princes room.
"You are just the man l want to
see," cried the boy, holding up his
picture in delight.
GLOW is that?" asked the veteran
duke.
"Why, because you can best criti-
else my drawing" said the prince.
"Now, can you tell me who is on
the left?" he went on, showing the
picture to the duke.
"Well," said the latter, "from the
waistcoat and the hat can see it is
meant for Napoleon"
Fright" said the prince. "And
who is the other?"
"By the cut of the features
should say it was myself"
Fright again." answered the
prince. 'FNow, what l want to
know isis the drawing accurate? q
The old duke put down the draw
ing and impressively answered: ''My
boy, | am going to tell you some
thing that the English people don't
know. | never in my life set eyes
upon Napoleon! Once, in the midst
of battle, some one cried, Look,
there is Napoleon Before | could
