The more sleep the brain gets, the better does the brain work. Ail great brain workers have been great sleepers. Sir Walter Scott could never do with less than ten hours. A fool will want eight hours,” as George III said, “'but a philosopher wants nine.’’ The men who have been the greatest generals are the men who cri 1 sleep at will, Thus it was with both Well- ington and Napoleon. The great est speakers in the House of Com mons have been the men who could go to sleep there as much as they like. This explained thejuvenilty in many cases the best of medicines. A friend told me that he treated himself fur a fever. He went to bed with a large pitcher of lemon ade by his side. He drank and slept; slept and drank, and slept himself well again. It is safe to say of any man, that if he sleeps veil he will do well.— Ex.
