It looks as if the only time that a man is absolutely warranted in feeling safe ifhe closes his eyes is when he is in church. And next Sunday, if I happen to nod a little during the ser- mon, just please remember what a strain I am laboring under all the time and let me sleep in peace.”â€"Tom P. Mor- gan in Truth. ' - Hank Simpson’s Way. Hank Simpson is without a rival as the smartest man on a boss trade or any other kind of a clicker in- the whole of Claybriek township. When Hank’s 30-year-old mule was killed on the rail- way that runs through the edge of his farm, be promptly put in a claim for $100. The company curtly offered him $40 and declared that that was twice the value of the old thistle eater. Hank simply said that he wouldn’t come down a cent and wenthome. Then the trou- bles of the company began. Its track through Glaybrick township was soft- sonpcd two or three nights in the week and the time table became a farce. Trains would be stopped in the woods by a swinging lantern and lose half an hour trying to find out what was the matter. There were halt'a dozen nar- row cscapcs from collisions and a large reward was offered for the author of these troubles. llank was suspected, | The time should be sufiicient for com- plete rest, whether more or less is re- ,quired. To rise, still weary with the l previous diiy’s toil, and summon a fic- l titious strength and energy by strong I simply 1 tea or coffee, which will interfere with the next night’s restfulness. is to insti- tute a process that wears. out the vital- ity and makes the individual prema- turely old. In this connection one is naturally led to speak of the evils of early rising. One of my most emphatic objections to farm life is the- abominahly early hour at which it is considered necessary to begin the toil of the day. I know all about it, for many and many a time I have watched the cold, gray dawn of‘ a winter’s morn melt into daylight as I washed the breakfast dishes before the kitchen window in the “Little Brown House "â€"but I never did it without a mental, and very likely a verbal, pro- test. It is unseemly to thus surprise nature en dcshabille, as it were, before her morning bath of dew is over and her complexion adjusted for the day ; and not all the poets who have written (by lamplight) of the beauties of early morning and the glories of sunrise, nor all the stalwart farmers with whom I have argued the question, have con- vinced me that it is duty, or even an advantage in the performance of labor, to burn the candle at both ends of the day. The man who rises at a reason- able hour refreshed and revived, can do more work and better work than he who is dragged out of bed still tired and puts in more hours of half hearted, semi- exhausted labor; and it is even more true indoors than out. And I am glad to say that the medical profession is dis- carding the maxims of Solomon and Benjamin Franklin, and inculcating more sensible views on the subject. Growing children in particular suffer severely from a curtailment of their proper hours of'rest: They require more hours of sleep than grown people. yet often, with a view to inculcating this reprehensible habit of early. rising, they are roused out of sound slumber and set to work. An instance came under my observation in this city which illustrates what pernicious results may follow cur- tailing the hours of sleep of growing children. The son ofa once extensive florist, a growing lad, in his early teens, was an exceptionally dull boy at school. Always at the foot of the class, he fail- ed time after time to pass his examina- tions for the next grade till both he and his teachers were thoroughly discourag- ed. He invariably went to sleep in school hours, and finally one teacher, who was of an investigating turn of mind, set about discovering whether he was a semi-idiot by nat re, or by cir- cumstances and environment. She found that he was compelled to get up at four o'clock every morning, and was kept up at night until tcn o’clock or after; he was growing fast and did not get the sleep he needed. The father, after a frank talk on the teacher's part, which he took very patiently, hired a man to but suspicion could not be backed up l attend to the furnace and let the boy by the necessary evidence. Finally the l sleep all he pleased. Within a month company sent him a cheque for $100, ' he was a new buy. both mentally an I but he sent it back with notice that he ; physically.
