 Every physician who deals with cases of nervous diseases knows well that the enormous, deplorable increase in such troubles Is largely due to lack of restful, healthful sleep.
 After the rush of the days work there is the hurried meal. the nasty dressing, the dash to evenings en- tertainment, theatre, dance, movies, social affairs. Perhaps a midnight lunch and then, half reluctantly, the snatching Of a few hours sleep. pos sibly half nightmare, due to the heavy supper. Who would not be peevtsh and savage, on arising for a new day, after such a night?
 It is an interesting fact that the wonderful success in treating patti ents in our own State Hospital due to the method of that quiet working, yer satile genius, Dr. H. M.

This is the rigid rule; and it's effects are so beneficial that, when well rested up," many patients start on the road to rapid and permanent re- covery.
 They were not sick; merely sleepy. Like irritable children who resist and disobey all commands to go to bed, what they needed was enough good, sound sleep and rest to compensate for weeks or months or even years of lack of it!

But now, weak brother, we would a word with you. Assuring you of our desire to help, and, at least, of our desire not to hinder, we wish to remind you that you must do a wohle lot Of the helping yourself. It Is up to" you can't sidestep any considerable amount of responsibility for the making or the breaking of your career. It is true that you are weak and it Is true too that your first and most immediate duty is to get strong.
 You may cherish something in the nature of grudge against society be- cause it does not banish all tempta- tions from your sight. We are trying to eradicate evils as fast as we can. We would put out of this world every all lurement to wrong doing if we could. plague spots remain. Give much at tention to your own moral health rather, that you may be immune, and strengthen through much exercise your own backbone.
 You are in some danger of falling into narrowness and intolerance. Be- ware of imposing your weakness on others under the notion that you have a right so to do. The careful festfic- tions under which your own life is best lived may not be necessary for other people. Do not make all your friends IHS1I dT1llS 1lI 6tEhSS GCGdudo JOuT own arm may be out of joint. The man who would not let his little family spend half holiday on the sands of a glorious beach because there were sa- looms within a half mile and he felt he might be drawn into one was put ting on innocent shoulders a grfevous burden that he ought to have carried himself.
 You must be careful not to try to scale down your associates to your own level of incapaeity. A weakness is not to be worn as a badge of honor. 1t is soon as possible. The. Hindeo fakir will hold out fds palsied arm for spec tators to admire, but that is organism and not Christianity. Ponder the words of the late Prof. Bowne of Boston Uni- versity and see if they bear at ait on your case. Of the weak brother he once said: He needs to be told the truth about himself now and then, lest
 he remain in error;' and the truth is that he has mistaken his own ignorant notions for universal principles; and the probability is that he has con- pugnacfty with zeal for the Kingdom of God.'
 The best course for you to pursue ie a daily course In moral cafisthenics Stiffen your resistance to evil stages tion. It is far better to do this your self than to watch someone else doing it. Strength comes as we put forth the strength we nave. Get an old mftt and play ball in the yard, with son Jimmie. It is better for your health than to sit on the bleaef1ers and watch Is professionals do it. Say mo- quick
 and strong the next time temptation
 comes your way. It is better than tc weep over what Jerry Mckinley oi | someone else did years ago.
 The experiences of life are designed to produce character. You have a right to expect that your brethren will re. move such stumbling blocks from youl path as they can. But you must not expect coddring. You must manfui1S
 breast the tide for yourself and worH out your own savation.

CWritten Specially for The Bulletin.)
 Much has been made of late of recent declaration of Thomas A. Ed ison, that, as years go on, men will devote less and less time to sleep. Time, he points out. is too valuable to be wasted on the pillow!
 Of course if any man living has cause to grow dictatorial and to speak ex cathredra, it Is Edison. As he contemplates the wonders which he has accomplished, it is not sur prising that he should be possessed by the idea that what he says must be so'
 Art, we are reminded, is long and time is fieetine; and many far more obscure than Edison must begrudge the time required for sleep. There are skyscrapers' to be erected. railroads to be built, bridges to be constructed, experiments to be carried out, new things to be discovered in the vart- ous branches of Science. and the thousand and one demands on brain and time; and with all this, to have to spend precious hours in bed!
 But take the other side. When one dies, it is for a long, long time! And how little it will mean to him then what work he has accomplished, or what discoveries made!
 When Edison, in common with all humanity, goes to his last sleep-and this may be earlier than 1t need be, if he lives up to his housekeeping rule while he leaves the world the splendid legacy of his talents and industry, and has won for himself an immortal name, personally will he be any better off than the easy-going mortal who

The city meeting has given the quietus to the question of municipal lighting in New Britain and, all things considered, 1t is 8 good thing that such action has been taken. The cost of engaging in the lighting bus mess would be so large that 1t seems as if 1t would be next to impossible for the city to go into it. No one can tell what the cost would be, but it has been estimated at approximately $2,000,000, an investment which New Britain is in no position to make at the present time. Of course the city could raise the money if it so desired but 1t would be extremely unwise for it to assume such a debt which would require the payment of large bill for interest for several years before the project at it's best would be able to yield a revenue.-New Britain Her aid.

The nest of crocodile is the inter- esting object lately described by w.. Schultze of the biological laboratory at Manila. A peculiar mound on the shore of lake near Taytay, Palawan, proved to be the nest of Crocodilus pa iustris, about five feet high and eight in diameter, and was made from a coarse, wiry grass that had been cleared from a space of five or six by nine or ten yards and had been laid mixed with sand. The eggs, about thirty in number, were in the center of this mound, arranged in several lay CTS. They were oblong and had a very hard, porous shell, with porcelain luster, and a white banc about the middle. In this moist nest of the Phil ippines, the incubation period was be- tween seventeen or eighteen weeks.
