Let me study a man for the first hour after he lias wakened and I will judge him more correctly than I would to w atch him all winter in the We think we arc pretty well acquainted with our friends, but we are not thoroughly conversant with their peculiarities until we have seen them wake up in the morning. I have often looked 'at the men I meet and thought what a slunk it must be to tli.t wies of some of them to wake up and sou their before had have to and time prepare, they while their minds are still chaotic. Tin lirst glimpse of a large, fat man, whose brain has drooped down behind his cars, and who-- ? wheezy Breath wanders around through the catacombs of his head a:id then emerges from his nostrils with a rhrdl nnrt like the yelp of the damned, must be a charming picture for the eye of a delicate and beautiful second wife; one who loves to look on green meadows and glorious landscapes; ono w ho has always wakened with a song and a ripple of laughter that fell on her father's heart like a shower of sunshine iu the sombre green of the valley. It is a pet theory of mine that to be pleasantly wakened is half the battle for the day. If we could be wakened by the refrain of a joyous song, instead of having our front teeth knocked out by one of those patent pillow-shaholders that sit up on their hind feet at the head of the bed. until we dream that we are just about to enter Paradise and have just passed our competitive examination, and which then swoop down and mash us across the bridge of the nose, there would be less insanity in our land and death would be regarded more in the light of a calamity. When you waken a child do it in a pleasant way. Do not take him by the ear and pull him out of bed. It is disagreeable for the child, and injures the general lout ensemble of the ear. Where children go to sleep with tears on their cheeks and are wakened by the yowl of dyspeptic parents they have a pretty good excuse for crime in after years. If I sat on the bench in such cases I would mitigate the sentence. It is a genuine pleasure for me to wake up a good natured child in a good natured way. Surely it is better from those dimpled lids to chase the sleep with a caress than to knock out h a harsh word and a bed slat. No one should be suddenly wakened from a sound sleep. A sudden awaking reverses the magnetic currents, and makes the hair pull, to borrow r.u expression from Dante. The awaking should be natural, gradual, and deliberate. A sad thing oceured last summer on an Omaha train. It was a very warm day, and in the smoking car a fat man, with a magenta fringe of whiskers over his Adams apple, and a light, ecru lambrekin of real camels hair around the suburbs of his head, might have been discovered. He could have opened his mouth wider perhaps, but not without injuring the mainspring of his neck and turning his epiglottis out of door. Legf-latur- e. hu-btn- ds At r r- -t In 1.. nk.

Egypt io not at a standstill at present; it is moving faster for bettor or for worse than it ever did before. And this is true of its antiquities as well as of other things; the ancient cities are being in the present day dug away and their earth spread on the ground as a fertilizer, and this is going on at such a rate that some have almost entirely disappeared already, and lields of corn have take n their place; others are diminished to half the size they were a generation or two hack, and nro still dimishing every day. And the time does not seem very far distant when scarcely a site of a city will be able to be identified. Certainly Egypt will have exhausted its antiquity lields before England its coal fields. And up the Nile tombs are opened every year, and fewer left to be discovered. In one sense we ar-only just beginning to explore Egypt, and the treasure seems to us inexhaustible, but that is only because of the puny scale of our attack from the scientific side; in another and terribly true sense Egypt is exhausting itself, the natives are ceaselessly digging, and unless we look to it pretty quicklv the history of the country will have perished before our eyes by the destructive activity of its inhabitants. Never before lus that land of monuments been so fiercely worked on; daily and hourly the spoils of ages past arc ransacked, and if of marketable value are carried off; but whether preserved or not is a ox-hau- e small matter compared with the entire loss of their connection and history lie was asleep. which always results in this way.

Boycotting is but a now name for an old and common practice. Aristides was ostracised by the people beeatisn they were tired of hearing him called The Just.

Churches and social circles continually talwio those outside thi'ir set. A poor, unfortunate woman is mercilessly ostracised by her The boycotting now in vogue with labor organizations is proclaimed as an attempt to offset the tyranny of capital. Although disorganizing fortlio time, its process is educational, leading as it does all classes to consider the problem presented and try to solve it. It is a form of civil warfare in w hich moral forces are engaged. Violence or injury to property legitimately forms no part of it, though often incidental. Ireland after generations of maladministration commanded a hearing through a cruel boycott. It is a crude and barbarous way of righting wrongs, but itseems at times inevitable. America had to light for independence. Tyranny in France and slayerv here were scourged to death by bloody wars. Wrongs as well as rights retreat for defense behind statute laws which cannot regulate the complicated relations of social life and industrial activities.
