received indicated that from August
z to 81 threshing had been done at
% farms. Of this number, is farm
ers raised 761a acres, yielding 500

PROGRESS OF THE COLORED
RACE,

A recent realty purchase is said
to have brought the Manhattan Is
land property holdings of members
of the colored race to $4,000, 900
The statement is calculated to ms
pire thought. 1t is little more than
half century since the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation was signed, set
ting 100000 people free, but in the
interval the manumitted race has
made an extraordinary aggregate
showing.
Throughout the country, north and
south, east and west, the colored men
and property owners are continually
more in evidence They have made
a substantial name for themselves
in every part of the United States.
In spite of grave obstacles they have
pressed their way upward, and New
York is not the only city in which
their holdings run into impressive
figures Journal.

SLEEP AND LONGEVITY

The farmers wife at Market B0s-
worth who, though in perfect physi-
cal health" has remained in bed for
three years, may hold that if we all
spent more time in bed we should live
much longer. This theory is borne
out by the experience of two sisters
of Brillat-Savarin, who nearly attained
a hundred years. They lived at a
country house belonging to the author
of the Physiologie de Gout, which he
used only in September and October.
They spent ten months of the year in
bed, getting up two days before his
arrival, and living a normal life dur
ing his stay. On his departure they
would say: Goodbye until next Sep
TENDER, Anthelme. We are going to
bed" One of them died at the age of
SO, as she was finishing dinner, her
last words being Hurry up with the
dessert" On the other hand, some
Swiss doctors say that the amount of
sleep should be regulated by altitude.
Too much sleep, they maintain, is as
harmful as too much drink. In low
lying districts, seven hours slumber
may be taken with impunity, but high
up in the mountains five hours is
quite enough. These sleep special
lists also ban the practice of remain
ing in bed in the morning, and insist
on the necessity of rising as soon as
sleep fails.-The Manchester Guard

ATHLETICS AND LONG LIFE

In view of the large number of pub
lie men, captains of industry, ETC., who
are active at three score and ten, the
death of DR.. Luther H. Gulick, the
well-known authority on physical
training, at the early age of SO, seems
very like one of lifes grim ironies.
How much DR.. Gulick practiced what
he preached and taught one is unable
to say; but, seemingly, a man in the
pink of perfection, his lease On life
certainly under normal conditions
should have represented good risk.
Still, since he is not the first athletic
director, or rather, director of ath-
letics-a distinction with a difference
to die young, a great question comes
up again as to the value Of an athletic
training when it assumes an intensive
character Yet the lesson of DR.. GU
Iick's death is possibly negative one
since activity in a good cause will
wear a man out as we'll as oyerindulg-
ence in notwithstanding idleness. At
the same time, it is a great pity that
his life should not have represented
that rounded moderation which, by
applying the principles he knew so
well, would have given him the sound

type, and for the public as we'll, even

GERMANY'S INDELIBLE CRIME

Cruelty, appearing at first as a gen
eraI contempt for the rights Of ma
tons, has been turned into the chief
weapon of war, and used as such by
Germany without stint or limit. In
the ages to come this will be remem-
bered before everything else, and will
be the last thing to be erased from
the memory of mankind. 1t will be
the heading of the chapter in which
history narrates the part which Ger
many has played in the war. And no
one need hesitate to predict that,
whatever victories she may have won,
or may be destined to win hereafter,
will be undone, or turned into uIti-
mate defeats, by the reputation she
has achieved as a cruel nation and as
an apostle of cruelty in the life of
nations.-L. P Jacks in The Atlantic
