The inqniry iwently undertaken by medical scientists relutivo to llio proper methods of sleeping is ono that cannot fail to interest all. and may in the end produce results highly valuable from a sanitary point of view, and even more Valuable as a means of preventing die- - ty sanitary rules. The longest uvea person known to have existed in North America was an Indian of California who died some months ago, at an age approximating 150 years. Ho was called Old Gabriel, and bis record has been traced authentically .back to the timo when the Catholic missions flourished on the Pacific coast in the middle of the Eighteenth century. Not until he was over a hundred years of age did Gabriel know what it was to sleep in a bed, and even then he did it but occasionally, and always under protest. Yao Tsue, whose demise occurred recently in one of the suburbs of the city of Yokohama, is said to have nearly reached the age of Ga-briel; yet, like the rest of his fellow countrymen, bis only pillow was a wood-en neck rest, and all his life he followed the extremely unsanitary practice, uni-versally prevalent in Japan, of wearing the same garments day and night. Examples along the same line might be multiplied, but of course, as previ- - ph. jgk&ia ? THE AMKHICAV COrcn OP TODAY. ease and prolonging life. No data have as yet been formulated on which to base absolute principles, but these general propositions are at present advanced by the gentlemen who have the subject un-der consideration. Their first declaration of war is against the feather bed, and in behalf of the hard mattress which rests upon springs. They also look with disfavor npon double couches, declaring that health is best conserved by solitary repose. The sleeping room, it is further asserted, ought always to give free access to the air through an open window, or pref-erably a ventilator. As for tho it should be neither too light nor too heavy. The hours for healthy rest are said to fluctuate, according to conditions and sex, from seven to ten in number, a student being thought to re-quire more sleep than a person who la-bors with his hands, and a woman con-siderably more than a man. Neither pillows nor the presence of a light in the bedchamber are regarded with approval. Uy following the rules above indicated, it is asserted that life may be consider-ably prolonged in what we of the Cau-casian race are pleased to tenn civilized countries: yet the fact remains that less AN AKAUOAMAN WARRIOR AT IIK.RT. onslysaid, customs vary with conditions. "The happy age of man," as Rousseau chose to call the era of savagery, has passed away, so far as we are concerned, and with our surroundings and educa-tion we would undoubtedly be dissatis-fied even with the bed prepared in Eden for our first parents, "in close recess, with flowers, garlands and sweet smell-ing herbs." Consequently it is well to accept with gratitude and intelligent discrimination any hints given for our guidance in the matter of repose by those who have made a careful study of the subject, In this age of racehorse living and intense competition no one can afford to misa the slightest opportunity for conserving his health. Rest is the great panacea for a vast multitude of human ills; under its benign influence mental strain disap-pears, and physical ailment ofttime? passes away. Behind the curtains of the couch care and turmoil do not follow, and any one who can add by suggestion or investigation to the charms of the si-lent chamlier of the night is deserving universal gratitude, for sleep, as Sir Thilip Sidney says, is the certain knot of peace.

Indeed, en-vironment, climate and opportunity liave as much to do with a man's xuoda of sleeping as with the food ho eats, the clothes he wears or the social relations into which he enters. The Esquimau of the arctic regions finds the bag of fikin into which he crawls full dressed a satisfactory couch, aud ample protection against the rigors of his climate. Tho natives of Japan, both male aud female, are satisfied to lie down on the inartiiig of their airy rooms, with wooden rests beneath their necks, and in weather of exceptional se-verity light blankets over their tonus. The Chinaman's low bedstead is provid-ed with mats or quilted coverlets and a piUow of bamlxio. Tho Eiist Indian stretches out upon a light portable mat-tress, which, when day comes, is rolled up and put away in a corner. He somo-tim-affects the hammock, but this is more particularly the resting place of the South American Indian, whoso hab-itat is tho banks of the Amazon. Swing-ing his couch between two trees, light--1 1 1 WOOING SLUMBER I THE TROPICS. Ing thereunder a smudge fire to drive away the insects of the night, and di-vested of all but the scantiest clothing, he lies dow n to sweet dreams, possibly as happy and contented as if his resting place was the gorgeous chamber of an American millionaire. Farther to the south the nnconquered Araucanian of Chili despises even this Blight adventitious aid to repose. For his women and children he provides the shelter of a ropf, but seeks for himself the open plain or mountain hide, covers his form with his poncho, and in close communion with mother earth waits the sinking of the Southern Cross and the dawn of a new day. In a certain degree the Araucanian style of sleeping is the on most affectM and preferred by tha cowboy and frontir.sman of the United States. These pioneers of civilization prefer the springing grasses of the prairie as a place of rust to the costly and unsatisfactory accommodations of the infrequent log framed or sod built hostelry. As one of this clas3 explained to me some years ago, "When I sleep on the ground I hev enough air to breathe, and ain't got no call to be skeered about bedbugs." Yet these denizens of the frozen north, of the sultry tropics, of the wide plains or of the Andean ranges make a fair showing as regards longevity in conipar--t iaon with those who are hedged about Oxo.

WOULD HELP HIM. Being the Story of an Astute Editor and a Canvasser for Subscriptions. An editor was sitting in his office when a man rnshed in and exclaimed: 'I want to know what you mean, sir? "Mean about what?" "You employed me to canvass for subscriptions, and this morning yon de-nounce me aud say that I have nothing to do wit h your paper." "Yes." "But explain your inconsistent con-Suet- ." "Well, 1 11 tell you. I did it to help you along." "Help me along!" "Yes, help you along. Some time ago we sent out a man. We wave him cre-dentials and a complimentary notice. He went out and didn't do much of any-thin- g. Just about that time a fellow who claimed to represent us began to travel through the country. Our office was flooded with complaints of not get- -' ting the pajier, and we denounced the fellow, but the more we denounced him the more he procured. We had given our authorized agent authority to draw on us, but he went to a bank and was refused. The next (lay the fraud came along and drew on us. So now I think that the only way to aid you in your modest but laudable enterprise is to you." "Yon are right," said the canvasser, as he seized the editor's hand. "You are j right. I want to make some money out of this thing, and I wish you would say that I ought to be arrested." j Arkansaw Traveler. VestSid Rapid Transit Co TiMfS TABLE.

Judge. Clad In Go rfeons Garments. The changes of costume in a century are nearly aa radical as the changes in modes of living ami transportation. A hundred years ago the stage coach and the sailing vessel sufficed. Now fant trains and "ocean greyhounds" are Home-tim-voted "tilow." So too with the occasionally erratic telegraph and tele-phone. As for costume well, here is an rxtract from an Euglinh newspaper of 1T70: A few days ago a macaroni made his appear-ance in the aswmhly rooms at Whitehaven dressed in a mixed silk coat, pink satin waistcoat and breeches covered with an elegant silk net, white silk stockings with pink clocks, pink satin shoes and large pearl buttons; a mushroom ' colored stcck. covered with fine point lace, huir dressed remarkably high and stuck full of peurl pius. Don't Know Them by Side. "What awfully poor billiards Missem plays, doesn't he?" "Yes. Only natural, though." "How so?" "He's a detective, and you know they can't handle a cue." St. Joseph News. ' Horseshoes of Paper. Taper has just been put to a new use. A German inventor has found it excel-lent material for making horseshoes. A number of thin sheets of parchment pa-per saturated with oil aud turpentine are glued together and the mass sub-jected to a strong hydraulic pressure. The holes for the nails are then bored, after which the shoes are trimmed ready for the market. It is said that the shoe wears in such a way that the surface is always rough, thus adapting it particu-larly to smooth pavements. Where tiood Memories Are Needed. To niako a success as a clerk in the railway mail service of the United States one must have a prodigious memory. After two years in the business a man is expected to know tho situation of at least 18,000 postoflices and be able to tell how to send mail matter to them. To attain and retain this proficiency of course requires almost endless study. A j clerk reaches the highest grade only after eight or nine years of service. Then he gets $1,300 a year. Doesn't Want Them In Sight. A Chicago preacher wants the church choir concealed from view. "At pres-ent," he says, "the sense of 'worship in song through the agency of the ear is marred by the distraction which the eye brings. The organist jumping about on his seat, pawing the pedals or pulling the stops, the size of the soprano's mouth and eccentricities of dress or deportment" all these take the minds of the congre-gation from the main object of church going. An Australian has beaten the photo-graphic record by getting impressions of landscapes at a distance of sixteen miles and making clear pictures therefrom. A Story of the Parts Comnrane. Tlio commune was also sublime. A prisoner, a man, had loen taken with arms in his hands, imprisoned, and con-demned to doath. llis wife made heroic efforts to save him, and succeeded in securing the sympathy of a man who had influence in those times. Her hus-band was saved from capital punishment anil was condemned to transportation. Left alono and abandoned, witliout resources, she had formed an intimacy with the man who had saved her hus-band. After living for years with this lover, to whom she was deeply attached, she besought him to apply for a pardon for her husband. Although he felt he was destroying her happiness and his own, he did so. The husband returned full of love for the wife who had saved him from execution and procured his liberation. On the way home, however, he learned the truth. He changed his name, disap-peared, and lived in hiding for manj years. Then, when divorce became pos- - sible in France, he wrote to his wife: "Apply for a divorce against me; I will do all I can to secure one for you. Marry him and be happy." Sublime.
