SLEEP
NECESSARY.
4n Italian'» Futile Attempt at (ioIng Three
UeekN Without* Sleepis^.
The present epoch is one in which the
| mind of man seems to turn to the per-
fnnnance of impossibilities, or what
have been regarded as impossibilities.
Explorers seek to penetrate to the
North Pole, and mountain climbers to
male the highest peak of the Himalayas.
¡Captain Webb loses his life in seeking
to swim the Niagara Rapids. Dr.
Tanner goes forty days, and an Italian
fifty days, without food. The latest at­
tempt at doing something that nobody
rise had ever done, is that of an Italian
named Rouzani, who essayed to go
three weeks without sleeping but was
speedily convicted of using deception
, in making people believe that he got
I along without sleep.
Whatever feats of endurance men
may accomplish, they can not live
| long without sleeping. The victims
of the Chinese waking torture
seldom survive more than ten days.
These unfortunate men are given all
I they wish to eat and drink, but when
they close their eyes they are pierced
with spears and awakened. There is
no torture more horrible. Men sleep
under almost all conditions of bodily
and mental suffering, however. Men
condemned to death—even those who
fear their fate—generally sleep at
night before their execution. Soldiers
sleep lying upon sharp rocks, and even
while on the march.
No one knows just, what sleep is. The
prevailing theory as to its nature is that
of the physiologist Breyer, who holds
that refuse matter accumulates in the
nervous centers in such quantity as to
bring about, insensibility, which is
deep, and continjies until the brain ha’
been relieved of this waste matter by its
absorption into the circulation, by
way of contrast to the cases of those
who seek to do without sleep, or are
often unable to obtain it, a ease is re­
corded by Dr. Phipson in which a young
man slept thirty-two hours without
waking. — Youth's Companion.

SPANISH LEGENDS
Current Among the Old Minee
Plateros.
of
The mining camp of Plateros is situ­
ated in the district of Fresnillo, in the
Blate of Zacatecas, about a league dis­
tant from the town of Fresnillo. Its
discovery, as related in tradition was
as follows: Some silversmiths (plateros)
were journeying toward Durango,
carrying in a chest an image of Christ
upon the cross, when they were over­
taken by a heavy rain, anil were obliged
to pass the night upon one of the small
hills near Fresnillo. The storm eeased,
and the men, after disposing their
sacred burden safely in the midst of
their baggage, built a huge campfire,
and, Mated in a circle around it, supped
upon their thick cakes of corn-flour
and savory strips of jerked beef. It is
to be supposed that, being friends all
on the road, and with stomachs full,
they would give free play to their
tongues. In good truth, thpy dia-
coursed of storms and tempests, of
swollen rivers, of highway robbers, and
all the dangers that menace those who
travel. Then the talk turned upon
themes of arithmetic and finance, and
very naturally it resulted that the good
fellows took stock of their exchequer,
which proved to contain a joint capital
i of barely twenty dollars.
“If only the Lord would bestow upon
us money,” one of them exclaimed, in
a tone of melancholy.
“Nothing is impossible to Him,” re­
plied another.
“I know that well enough; still, I
don't see how we are to become rich.”
“Oh, thou art a doubting Thomas.
Every thing comes easy to God.”
“But it must be asked for.”
“Then let ns ask now.”
The silversmiths accordingly kneeled
before the chest that contained the holy
image, and fervently recited a creed.
Then, enwrapping themselves in their
earapes, they laid themselves down be­
side the fire, and doubtless slept. The
next morning the wind had swept away
the ashes where their camptire had
blazed, and there, glistening in the
first rays of the rising sun, was a bright
and shining ingot of silver that the tire
had smelted from the rock. The silver­
smiths, it may readily be believed,
went no further with their image, but
began straightway to work the mines,
where they shortly erected a chapel to
Our Lady of the Silversmiths, whence
the mines are named.
I do not hold myself responsible for
the truth of this narrative. I can only
vouch for the fact that the mines and
the chapel are in existence to-day.
One afternoon a friend invited me to
visit that same mine, and we set out ac­
cordingly. Nothingcould be sadder or
lonelier than the situation; a dry gulch,
with a few gray houses of adobe scat­
tered at the foot of the low hills, and a
horizon line of brown hills, bare of
verdure—such is Plateros. It is, how­
ever, very rich, the leads of dense sul­
phates cropping out on the surfs*?
As my knowledge of mining is of the
slightest, I suggested to my compan­
ion that we should visit the church,
whose architecture is fine, and its di­
mensions all too ample for the few of
the faithful in the little town.
“Before we go into the church," re­
marked my companion, “I wish to re­
late to you a tradition.”
“You have the word,” I answered,
“and that with all my heart. As the
botanists go nosing about in search of
unknown plants, and the mineralogists
liter veins of ore. so 1 shall get out of
hearing mass by listening to a tradi­
tion.”
,
„
« . j
“Once upon a time, then, my friend
began, “a poor man came up the road
driving a small, lean donkey. This
inimal carried a little chest of pinch-
'*eck rings, ear-rings, looking-glasses
anu tne *".,e tor ’vie among the raucli-
eros. In short, this was a peddler.
When he had arrived at a cliff in one
of the hills, he unloaded the donkey
and turned it loose to grass at will,
while he sat down upon his pack sad­
dle. After a time an.seller wayfarer
appeared and came to sit down by the
former. They talked awhile, smoked
their cigarettes, and then lay down
peacefully to
sleep,
for
these
were brothers, traveling together
and partners in business. He who
had driven the donkey fell asleep
very shortly, but Francisco, the other,
began to think that if he were master
of his brother's money and goods he
would have enough to support him,
and wou’d be subject to the nommand
of none This flame kindled in his
mind was fanned by Satan, and he de­
termined to carry out the idea. 11c ob­
served his brother’s respiration, and,
satisfied that he slept soundly, Fran­
cisco arose, and on tiptoe, with his lips
apart and his eyes wide and rolling, he
lifted up a great, black stone, and hold­
ing it above his brother's head, let it
fall. A dull crash told that the sleep­
er’s head was crushed to atoms. After
a moment a stream of blood crept from
beneath the stone. No sooner did the
murderer see that red current run,
bathing the rocks, than, like another
Cain, he began to rush frenzied from
place to place, tearing his locks ami
beating his head against the bowlders.
Finally, desperate, he turned to the
Chapel of Our Lady of the Silversmiths,
and there he wept a very torrent of
tears, calling on his Maker to show
him-mercy. [You see, the poor devil,
notwithstanding the course of justice
was not very prompt then on Mexican
soil, feared to find himself uncomforta­
bly well fitted by a halter.] Well, he
wept and cried, striking his sinful head
against the steps of the altar, and called
upon the Lord to pardon and save him,
accursed criminal as he was. In the
midst of his lamentations he felt a soft
touch upon the shoulder, and turning
his head:
“ ‘Oh, my brother!' he cried; ‘have
pity! If thou art a shade, if thou hast
come hither from another world, have
pity and forgive me!’
“ ‘What kind of a trick do you call
that,’ demanded the other, ‘to go away
and leave the beast and load unw-itched
and me alone and sleeping?’
‘“My brother, I have killed thee!’
" ‘Kill<-<1 me! but I'm al've!’ replied
the murdered man, mechanically in­
specting himself closely.
“ ‘None the less, I hurled a great
stone upon your head, and saw your
blood gush forth and your brains spat­
tered around.’
“The other passed his hands over his
head, and, while he found no wound,
he experienced a slight pain beneath
the touch. ‘But, my brother, explain
this thing.'
•“Oh! I am a sinner, vile and ac­
cursed! But the Lord has seen my re­
pentance, and He has restored thee to
life. Let us pray.’
"The two brothers fell upon their
knees, and prayed long and devoutly.
Going later to the scene of the murder,
they found there the stone still covered
with fresh blood.”
When his recital had reached this
point, my friend said, seeing me open
my eyes wide: “Come in, and you may
see the stone.” And on going in, in
fact, I saw and touched, in one corner
of the chapel, a great black bowlder
capablv of demolishing not merely the
head of a man, but of an elephant.
I hold myself responsible for the ac­
count of this miracle no more than of
the other. It is a tradition which I re­
late to the reader as it was told to me.

Row You Cun Make YonrMlf Popular with

Keep a cash account A very trivial
and secular suggestion, you may say,
but simple as it is, it is one tho observ­
ance of which would add immensely to
the present limited amount of practical
righteousness and happiness. By a cash
account is meant merely an account of
money received and paid out, and not
book-keeping as in business.
I am aware that there is a large class
of sensible and well-meaning persons
who would say: "I receive so much
and 1 try to save a little.” Let me say
to such persons that by not knowing
exactly how they spend their limited
earnings they miss learning one of the
most important lessons of life. The
habit itself of keeping accounts is a
good discipline; it is a lesson in memory
and order, and accuracy and business
methods. But more than this, it teaches
one how to si,end money. As money
represents the greater part of what wo
do, nnd of our relation to the world,
we do not know what we do, nor how
we are related to tho world, until we
know how we spend our money, To
receive so much and spend it for
what we happen to need, and
make no farther note of it, is like
gutwing at the time of day. We insist
to the minute on the accuracy of our
wateiies, but how our income is divided
up is guess-work. It would help a man
amazingly to a correct estimate of h*c
life if he knew accurately how and when
and for what lie spent his money. There
is noi other way in which a well-mean­
ing man call properly adjust this great
factor in his life. By an account, he
can see how much has gone into the
several departments of expenditure, anil
a review of it will show him whether he
hiss been wise or foolish, prudent or
careless, true to himself and family
and society, or whether ho has been
unequal or ungenerous or over-indul­
gent to any. We apply science, and
close, accurate methods to all forms of
labor; why should we not apply them
to the use we make of the product of
labor?
Tho poorer a man is, the more he re­
quires this habit of accurate accounts;
the less there is todivide, the more need
of care. He thus learns at the propel*
moment where to retrench, or in what
direction he may wisely spend more.
It saves also much trouble and dispute.
Bookkeepers are not infallible, and
memory is a poor witn*“» against them,
but when books are kept on both sides,
misunderstanding is greatly lessened.
The habit also has a distinct moral
value. One who has rightly measured
human society will have a conscientious
sense of the use of money which is im­
perative, and will approve or condemn
one's self accordingly. We could make
no better scrutiny of ourselves than to
lake, at the end of a year, a carefully
kept account of money spent, and see
how it has been used; how much for
necessities; how much for luxuries;
how much for self; how much for
others; how much for books; how
much for passing pleasures; how
much for the good of (lie world and
how much for the p i ' ■ >f life; how
much f >r tho body an 1 how much for
the mind: how much wasted and how
much wisely used. Tabulate these, and
then lay them beside your manhood
and standard of duty and purpose in
life, and see if they are sustained. This
is a part of that self-inspection—that
moral inventory of himself that every
man should make at least once a year;
for we need not only an interior look
at ourselves, but one from the outside
and reflected by our conduct. Such a
habit as this would help us in that field
of minor morals where we often make
our gravest mistakes. But aside from
this, it is a habit that tends greatly to
simplify and smooth and straighten the
details of life. It teaches prudence,
judgment, foresight, and so creates an
atmosphere of dignity about the life.
For money and the money side of life is
to be treated respectfully and thoroughly
and in high, business-like ways even
by those who have little of it.— Rev. J.
T. Mungef, D. D., in Golden Rule.
An English journal recently offered
a prize for the best argument against
smoking. Following is the article fur
which the prize was awarded­
it is unphysiological because no ani­
mal iu a state of nature uses it, and the
first timb a man smokes he is usually
violently upset by- it. When a person
eats a new kind of fruit for the first
time he may not like it, but it does not
make him ill, as such fruit is a food.
But tobacco, being a poison, nearly
always causes an upset to the system.
It is only by continued use that man
can nse it without being made imme­
diately ill; he is made ultimately dis­
eased by its use.
It is expensive because there is no
need for it; it is not even a luxury that
helps us to spend our superfluous cash
harmlessly, because it causes more
loss and injury than it does good. In
England we spend at least £12,000,000
a year on tobacco alone; what with
pipes, matches, cigar-holders, eigarot-
tubes, cigaret-machines, etc., we do
not spend short of £20,000,000.
It is a dirty habit. What smells
worse than the breath of a smoker,
than his tobacco-soaked clothes, and
his rank pipe? Then the ashes from
pipes, cigars and cigarcts fall on
clothes, carpets, table-cloths, etc., and
dirty or disfigure them. Smoking
blackens the teeth, and if a pipe is
smoked the teeth that hold it are worn
away, and so we spoil u natural adorn­
ment—the teeth.
It is selfish, in that the person only
who uses it gets pleasure from it, and
that often at the expense of others.
Smokers poison the air common to all
by the fumes they emit. The selfish­
ness of the smoker causes fam­
ily quarrels and disputes, the man
preferring his pipe to his wife
or sweetheart. It is disease-pro­
ducing. It stops .growth, and causes
ill-developed persons if used be­
fore growth has stopped. In adults it
first blunts the sense of taste, smell and
sight, and, indirectly, the hearing and
touch. It always produces more or
less sore throat, and often, in eonse-
iptenee, the worst kind of deafness—
viz.: throat deafness. When absorbed
into the system it causes palpitation
and irregular action of the heart, and
has a depressing influence on it. It de­
lays digestion, causes .jiarvuusiiesa,
trembling of hands, indecision, loss of
energy- and of will-power, with lowness
of spirits. 11 deadens thought, and
makes a man dull and listless instead
of being intelligent and active. It
causes loss of appetite, helps on cancer
of the stomach and is the active cause
of most cases of cancer seen in the
lower lip. which is rarely seen except
among smokers. It also lessens the
vitality, and wounds heal less rapidly
amongst smokers than amongst non-
smokers. It wastes time and energy.
It wastes energy as it depresses the
vital powers and uses up itself life and
power that should be used for helping
on mankind. It leads to drinking.
Smoking always causes a dryness of
the throat, and the saliva ejected is
fluid lost to the system; to relieve
both these conditions fluids are taken.
As tobacco is a nervine depressent alco­
hol ¡soften used to get rid of this de­
pressed feeling. Statistics of temper­
ance friendly societies show that smok­
ers break away from their pledge in
greater numbers than nnn-smokers do.
It leads to loss of property, goods
and lives, by the fires which originate
by lighted ashes from pipes, by lighted
cigar ends, or matches used by smok­
ers. The loss in this country by fire
traceable to smoking is very large.—

When you are invited to dine at the
house of a friend or acquaintance, it is
not considered good form to reply that
you would enjoy it alxive all tiling;
but, unfortunately, you are very hun­
gry and do not see how you can possi­
bly accommodate him. At all events,
never make matters worse by adding
that you will lie pleased to come some
other time—on Fast Day, for instance.
On being asked to “take something,”
whatever that may mean, it is hard[y
proper to inform the inviter that your
stomach has some rights which you are
bound to respect, ami if it is all the
same to him, you will take as an equiv­
alent ’lie money which the “somet
tiling” would cost.
As the generality of mankind stands
in pressing need of exercise, it is a duty
you owe to Society to furnish others
with all the exercise you can possibly
vouchsafe to them. Hence,tvhen walk­
ing the streets, trail your oiine or um­
brella, so that the man behind you shall
be kept hopping and skipping about
like an insane kangaroo, in order to
keep himself from tripping over your
offensive weapon.
It has been pointed out that the seats
in a rail car are death-traps which have
a fashion of shutting up aud holding
the occupant until the fire in the over­
turned stove has time to cremate him
or her; consequently it will be seen
that you do a kindness to others,^es­
pecially to women, by preventing them,
it possible, from obtaining seats. If
they are made to stand, of course they
escape the dangers incident to the per­
ilous seat. The knowledge of having
performed a kind act always fills one
with supremo pleasure, especially when
he can contemplate his good act in a
comfortable position.
As it is very trying to one's eyvi to
read print in the'ears, it is proper f >r
you to prevent your neighbor from in­
juring his eyesight* by reading hi» news­
paper. Therefore put a stop to his read­
ing, either bv talkfligto him continually*
about something—no matter what, so
that it interestsyourself —or rend to him
detached sentences and “good things”'
from your own paper. lie may not
thank you; but what of that? Because
ho is ungrateful, must you therefore
forget your duty to your fellow man?
When you are enjoying your cigar
idou», and
iu tell him
you would ask him to smoke, but you
fear that the smoke of two such cigars
would suffocate both of you. Your
friend will greatly enjoy your,pleas­
antry, and he will also be happy because
of the opportunity you have given him
to inform all his acquaintances, and all
yours, that you smoke mighty poor
cigars. Besides, you save a cigar.
When one is telling you a Ling and
dry story about the way his housemaid
goes on, put on a melancholy look and
put a step to his story at the earliest
convenient moment by asking him some
irrevelant question, as, for example,
what he thinks of the late strike, what
his opinions are of a possible war in
Europe, or what are his views on white
mice or the eventual restoration of the
Jews. Your doleful face will show him
that you sympathize deeply in his suf­
ferings, and your clever turning of the
subject of conversation will convince
him, if he had any doubts before, that
his story is too painful for you to listen
to it.
When the shopman has given you too
much money in change, say nothing,
hut put the money in your pocket. It
is always mortifying to be told of one's
errors. Then it should be remembered
the opportunities of being paid foi^ono's
forbearance arc too infrequent to lie
neglected.
These are only a few of thomany nice
points of etiquette that might lie men­
tioned; but they will suflice to show
that one who knows nothing about eti­
quette can write as well upon that sul>-
ject as upon any other with which he is
equally unacquainted. —Boston Tran­
