Paris, Nov. 13.-(Havas)-Sen-
ator Delahaye, in discussing AL
sace-Lorraine in the senate, re-
called the famous letter written
by the late Monsignor Freppel,
the bishop of Anglers, and the
bishops wish before he died that
his heart be inferred in recon-
quered Alsace. Alsace, said the
senator, now will be able to take
back to Obernai, the birthplace of
Monsignor Freppel, the casket

REQUISITE HOURS OF SLEEP
Acknowledged Fact That Brain Work
ers Need Less Than Those En-
gagged in Manual Labor.

Periodic sleeping is undeniably an
essential to the continuance of lite, but
sleep is required more as means or
regeneration from physical WEAKNESS
than from mental activity, an exchange
observes. The best thinkers are the
shortest sleepers, and on the other
hand the manual labOrerS require the
longest periods of sleep. The classic
example cited to prove that the think
er docs not need as much sleep as the
ordinary man takes is Thomas A. Edi-
son, who during the most active years
of his life is said to have slept only
four hours a day. 1t is not so general
~ known that Herbert Spencer, the
philosopher, in his later life did not
average more than three hours of sleep
a day.
These instances should not lead to
ill-advised efforts to emulate the ex-
IRENE examples. One should not at
forc-2t to do better thinking by keep
ing longer awake, but the effort should
be made to do better thinking, which
will result in keeping longer awake.
For if the body be not fatigued or
drugged with poison, sleep comes chief
ly from the slowing down of the men
tai processes until consciousness
lapses. If an adult is not tired or full
of fatigue poisons from physical labor,
or if his system is not otherwise bur-
dened with poisons from faulty diet
or overeating, it is possible in many
instances to cut down the sleeping
period from 20 to 40 per cent OF that
commonly INDUCED in.

Prussian Guard Long Famous.

The history of the Prussian Guard,
cream of Germany's fighting men,
which was smashed by the headlong
attack of American troops at the Sec
Ond Battle of the Marine, dates back
to the latter part of the Seventeenth
Century, when men believed in the
divine rights of kings, and the troops
of the guard could be depended on to
protect the sacred body of their SOW
ereign when all other supporters fell
away.
The Prussian Guard was once a
company of archers, known as the
Trabant Guards. 1t was transformed
into a real fighting force by Frederick
William /. Drill with him was ruling
passion and he lavished much atten-
ton on his guard securing Europe for
giants, as no man under six feet in
height could enter his pet regiment.
This requirement was abolished by
Frederick the Great, who cared only
for fighting ability. The stirring ex-
ample of Napoleon's Imperial Guard
caused the Prussian organization to be
increased in size, and it now comprises
a complete army corps. Into it's ranks
go the cream of each years class OF
Prussian recruits.

MENACE TO CAUCASIAN RACE
Practice of PoIygamy in the Orient
Constitutes Peril Which Must
Not Be Underestimate.

The storm center of social reform
in Asia for the next quarter of CEN
fury is likely to be over the relations
of the sexes, writes Tyler bennett in
Asia. If any statement of the men
ace of polygamy were necessary to
bring home to American readers the
immediacy of the subject, some re-
cent statements from the editorial
columns of the Far Eastern Review
would seem to be suitable. The Cau-
casian population of the world is dou-
bling it's number once in a hundred
years; the dark-skinned races, which
now outnumber the white population
TWO to one, are doubling their num-
bers every twenty-five years.
At least such is the case in Korea,
where the most recent figures are
available The editor Of the Far East
ern Review figures out that at the
present rate of increase the Caucas-
ian element in the worlds population
will have shrunk in hundred years
to scarcely 5 per cent. The oriental
demands male children, as many of
them as he can produce. The editorial
in question says: $50 long as the
oriental man is able to arrogate to
himself the right to- possess plura.
WIVES just so long Will polygamy pre-
vail. But there is a way out and one
which is, becoming broader and more
easy to tread each year. The wife
with foroiun nducati0 is q nrociOuS
thing in China in the eyes of the re-
turned students, since she is one of
few women of his own race that
realizes and understands his peculiar
aspirations. She has it in her hands
to be the one and only wife, and If
the few examples that have come I'M
der the writer's notice are any critic
riOn, she will exert that power to the
utmost"

TELLS OF HEROISM AT FIRE

Milwaukee, Oct. 23.-Stories of in
tense suffering and heroism during the
recent forest fires in Minnesota were
told by Marshall Cousins, who was
sent to the devastated region by Gov
ernOr Philip to make an investigation
and offer any possible aid that the
state can give to all the stricken fam
lilies and refugees. Mr.. Cousins arrived
in Milwaukee during the day from the
burned region and declared that while
plenty of clothing and food is avilable,
financial aid is needed for the refugees.
The fires, he said, are still burning
but the danger of causing another ca
tastrOphe is passed. Superior bore the
brunt of the work of aiding the refu-
gees and deserves much praise for its
great assistance, Mr.. Cousins declared.
More people were taken care of there
than in Minnesota. Twenty-One towns
were destroyed in the fire-swept re-
giOn, which covered an area of 1000
to 1000 miles and caused q money loss
estimated at about $75,OOO,O00. More
than 1000 people were killed. When
the fires started the alarm was imme-
diately given and autos, trains, wag-
Ons and vehicles of all kinds were i'm
mediately put to service getting the
refugees from the burning area. Hun
dreds Of autos were later found with
their occupants burned tOta crisp, be-
ing unable to keep ahead of the fast
travelling flames and the intense smoke
and gas, famed by a 60-mile gale.
Many of the villagers and farmers took
to rOwbOats and went out into the lake,
but most of them lost their lives there
when the boats capSiZed because of the
fierce wind" Large numbers of peo-
pie, fleeing from their homes, dug
deep pits in the ground and covered
the pits with heavy timbers and straw
he said, but when the flames reached
the pits the timbers burned and
crashed into the pits, killing people
who sought refuge there. Others
went to wells, but the intense heat and
wind dried up the wells and many lost
their lives.
Mr.. Cousins told Of an incident dur
ing the fire in which a large shepherd
dog was seen running along the road
away from the burning area. The dog
carried bundle in its teeth,

Brand-NeW Fish Story.

Deep-sea fishermen report they re-
Gently saw a floating island in the
gulf stream off Palm Beach, Fla. The
island was about twenty-five feet in
diameter, and the fishermen say it
was composed of mari and muck, held
together by tangled roots and rotted
seaweed; that there were several trees
and mangrove sprouts growing luxuri-
antly on the island. The fishermen
landed or the island and found thou
sands of small fish on it, which sea
birds were greedily eating.
