It Is no good to say tbat sleep Is oul.

as to take away all thought of dwit'j

as tbe silent sleeper who hardly seem:

We see death seldom, but were It
more familiar we doubt If a corpse
would Inspire so much awe as tbe un

but a doll to whom In a second mny

endure toil and misery and will make
tbat mind, now wandering in paths of
fantastic folly, grapple with some great
problem or throw all Its force Into tbe
ruling, the saving or tbe destruction
of mankind. The corpse Is only bo
much bone, muscle nnd tissue; tbe
sleeping body Is the house which a
quick and eager master bas only left
for an hour or so.
Let any one wbo thinks sleep Is not

the procetm by which sleep comes and

A JAPANESE DINNER.
Plenty of Variety, but Too Much Salt
For A me r teai n Palates.
"I am afraid you won't like It, said

They Bested themselves the three
girls and be, uiuu the green silk cunh
Ions placed on a parquetry floor about
a little table a foot high. A Japanese
servant entered with the tea, and. the
Japaneew dinner began.
Por first course there were sweet bts
colt and tea delicate tea of the April
harvest, flrst chop tea, formerly
served with cherry spoons and a poem
for each guest
Next come ushlo, a salty soup, with
which tbe national wine, called sake,
was served in flat saucers.
The third course was a little raw fish,
very salty and steeped hi a sour and
appetising sauce. The guests, con
trary to their ex.vectatioo, found tbe
raw sash no more difficult to eat than
raw .oysters. With this course went a
salad of white chrysanthemums.
The elaborate fourth course consist
ed of boiled chestnuts and a paste of
sharks' fins, quail masted and bashed
with preserved c he cries and crawfish
with eggs. These viands were all ar
ranged decoratlvely on one large dish.
The fifth course, also on one dish,
was bolted bamboo shoots with soy,
I salted mushrooms and a cold boiled
salmon and cold boiled perch, with
pickled shoots of the ginger plant
Next came soup of seaweed, bit
ter, salty, decidedly good; next an as
sortment of nuts boiled In soy; nest
salt relishes ; next delicious boiled
rice, the grains as large aa cherries,
and, to conclude, tea again.

tbelr low cushions and limped about

ner had been very good, really much
better than they had counted on, but
perhaps a little too salty for occidental

WASTED PRECAUTIONS.
A Spell of Worry and Anxiety That
Went Por Nsught
Ferguson was weii'liitg bis uu certain
way homeward, eoreiy troubled lu Ul
mind over the curtuln let-turu fie knew
was In store for blm a:xl casting shout
for some menus of evniliug It. Hudden
ly a bright Mea wns evolved fvm bis
befuddled brain, lie won II a!ip inti
the house aud get t'uletly Into bed
without awakening his wife.
Accordingly he stole gently upstairs,
carefully undressed outside ttie door
and crept Into bed. with bis face to
ward the outside.
He mentally congratulated himself
upon bis success thus far and went to
sleep.
TVheu he awoke lu the morning be
dared not look at bis wife, and after
lying still for a few minutes aud not
bearing any no'se from her he con
cluded she wns mil! asleep.
lie tbeu determined to arLe very
quietly, carry uU clothes outside the
door, dress there and go dowutown to
Imilnefcs without walling for breik
fat. He wns succetwful in this. and.
meeting the servant girl downrftnlrs, he
said:
"Eliza, you can tell your mistress I
expect to le very buy today and
therefore 1 didn't stay to have break
fast with her this morning."
"Lams, sir!" su!d Eliza. "Missis went
awny yesterday morning to her moth

ENGLISH JUSTICE.
Hand on Petty Thieves and Light on
Wife Bestors.
It Is only about a century since the
death penalty was Inflicted In England
for theft not exceeding the value of a
sheep. Now some of the London Jour
nals are making a merciless exposure
of magistrates throughout the kingdom
who keep up the tradition by sentenc
ing petty thieves to Jail while Inflict
ing only trifling fines upon wife beat
en and even more brutal offenders.
In one police court one defendant
was fined 10s. 6d. for knocking his
wife down In the street because she
refused to give him money for drink.
and another wns sentenced to sixty
days' Imprisonment for damaging
growing potatoes and stealing two
footballs.
For cruelty to a horse, beating bis
wife, who was 111, with fist aud ham
mer and leaving her with nothing to
at one man was fined 10 shillings,
while another, charged with stealing a
pair of socks valued at sixpence, got
fourteen days bard labor. It .would
not be difficult to make up a list of
similar cases from American police
courts, yet tbe tendency In America Is
rather toward a higher estimate of the
value of human life. Van Norden Mag

Australian Curiosities.
There are some curious things In cen
tral Australia. Luke Amadeus lu tbe
sdry season Is merely a sheet of salt
Ayers rock, alout five miles round,
rises abruptly from tbe desert. For
tuerly vast rivers flowed here, and tbe
diprotodou, u wouihat-like creature
worthy of its name and four times as
lurge as a kangaroo, .Unwished on the
plains, N'w there ore hardly any ani
mals to lie Keen. The fish live In water
holes of the till Ix until the floods wush
thein clown to the valleys. At the end
of tbe wet seasou the water frogs fill
themselves with water, roll themselves
In tbe mud and lie low till the next
rains, which may not cu.ne tor two
years. Meanwhile the provident frog,
like the "mousl?" of liolwrt Burns,
may have the misfortune to furnish n
drink to a thirsty black. The natives
also get water from tbe roots of trees.
They are In the "totem stage and
revere certain plants or autmala which
protect them. Men of one group can
only marry women from another single
group.
The Need of Common Sense.
I had a really scientific man to
me the other day, and In tbe course of
our investigation of a point we had
In common It wns necessary to wash
out a bottle. The bottle was empty-
It was a round, wabbly vessel, and he
had to hold It under the water a long
time so tbat It might get full enough
of water to hold it down. I asked
him why be dt uot All It with water
first, and he laughed nnd said be did
not think of It. And that bears out
my contention that It fs not because a
man Is as "clever as paint" tbat be
therefore grnsjxs "the common sense
