I . SLEEP AND REST. "
Every Organ of tha Human. Body Hat
Its Pariods of Rapoaa.
All tho organs of life rest In tome
way or other. The heart has an Inter
val of rest between each comblued act
of contraction and expansion and the
beginning of a fresh net Between
each expiration of the lungs aud the
succeeding inspiration there is a period
of repose. Physiologists have calcu
lit ted thut the heart reposes during
about, one-fourth of the time. Certain
of the o'.lu 1" organs suspend their ac
tivity iu part during sleep, s-i :';: v...
Old physiologists supposed that sleep
was caused by the' 'pressure of the
blood on t?.o brain. But modern physi
ology, with u tendency to regard the
bruiu as the origin of all force and of
nil functions- of the body. Inclines to
the view that sleep Is caused by a
withdrawal of blood from the brnlu.
As a rulo. the larger the brulu the
more sloop It requires.1 Webster went
to bed ut 0 o'clock and rose at 5. Gen
eral Grunt used to suy durjug his cam
paigns, "I can do nothing without nine
hours' sleep."; ,: ...' '-j
. A curious trait has marked men of
large brain that of sleepiug at will.
Bonaparte used to' throw himself ou
tho ground uud go to sleep wlthlu a
space of two minutes ritt was u
sound sleeper uud ; slept night after
uigbt iu the house of commons while
his collengucs watched the debate and
roused blm when It was uecessnry that
bo should speak. New York Herald. ;
Good Business.
A famous pistol shot told a shooting
story at a supper In Sau Francisco. . '
"There was a party of amateurs here
in Frisco," ho said, "who thought they
would do some live pigeon shooting,
so they ordered thirty birds from n
suburban doaler, : ';';' ,
'VTho shoot enmo off duly. " It was a
wonder.. To give you a. correct idea
of it I must quote from a letter sent
by 'the dealer to the amateurs, the next
day;' Tho loiter ran:- y .
-" 'Gentlemen I thank you for your
order and beg to state that I -will be
only too happy to supply you with
birds for all future shoots. The en
tire thirty pigeons, for which you paid
me 15 cents a head, returned home
safely and. moreover, brought two
strays with them: My price to you
bereafter will bo 1 cent per pigeon.' "

. Describing the hospitality of an Ara
bian uonie. tbe "Last Journal of Blau-op-Hannlugtou"
says: v ' -f -
The great eveut of the visit Is tbe)
coffee. The hoHt has u kind of brazou
shovel brought, Iu which he roasts the
beuus; tlii'u bo takes a pestle and mor
tar of the oHk of Bashau, aud with bis
owu bunds lie pounds it to powder,
making the bard onk ring forth u song
of welcome to the guest.- Many of
those pestles uud mortnrs are heir
looms aud are richly ornamented and
beuutifully black and polished by age
and use. Such was. the one In ques
tion. Having drunk coffee (for the
honored guest the cup Is. tilled three
times).' you are quite safe In tbu bands
of the most murderous. :' -' -
So far do they curry this superstition
that a man who bad murdered another
fled to tbe dead man's fatherland be
fore' ho knew what bad happened drank
coffee. I'reseutly frlcuds enme lu and
as they were relutlug the news to tbe
bereaved father ' recognized the ' mur
derer crouching beside the. fire. They
Instantly demanded vengeance. "No,"
said tbe father, "It cannot be. He has
drunk coffee and has thus become to
me as my son." - J
-Had he not drunk coffee the father
would never have rested until ho bad
dyed his bands in his blood. . . .. .

Madam! If your husband
won't provide electric lights
for you, make him
look after the oil lamps. Let him see how much time It takes dally
to clean, fill and trim them, thaat might be employed In more profit
able pursuit. , . '
Oil lamps are a nuisance. They are moat unsatisfactory lights at
best. They smoke, flare and glvo out noxious gases. Perfect ventila
tion is impossible because it isn't safe to raise the windows whore
there are curtains to be blown. Then an open window makes an un- '
steady light, which means danger from explosion,
Doughtless there are some people who will always use loll lamps, but
the vast majority are realzlng that, measured by the standard of
service, electric lifihts' are the cheapest and best. Phone us for rates.
