Th? Tim? When Qreaieat Depth of Slumber Occurs. It is related cf a Chinese mer chant who was convicted of wife murder and sentenced to dio by be ing deprived of sleep that ho was placed in prison with guards changed hourly for the purpose of preventing him from sleeping. Aft er the commencement of tht " ' v >h day his suffering was so intense >t he implored the authorities to sti flo, guillotine, burn him, drow .* im, garrote, shoot, quarter, blow him np with gunpowder or put him to death in any conceivable way. Natural sleep has been defined as mental rest produced by an appe tite resulting from fatigue, but the idea that menial rest means mental inaction is hardly tenable, inasmuch as it quite frequently happens that the solution of unsolved problems is the first thing to appear in the con sciousness on awakening, and thus the mind must have been operative while asleep. It is commonly supposed that the greatest depth of Bleep occurs about the end of the first hour. This, however, is not invariably tho mle, according to my own observations in tho Cook County (Chicago) In sane asylum, made some years ago, when I spent two successive nights in hourly testing the depth of sleep by light, sound and touch.' A ma jority of the ten cases I had under observation Bhowed tho" greatest depth to bo at about 3 a. m. More recently Dre. Sante do Sanctis and N. Neyros, at thc University of Borne, tested the depth pf sleep in four norm ul persons by pressure upon, -the temple. One of those snowed the greatest depth of sleep in the 8econd and fifth hours, while the others showed the greatest depth between the first and second hours. Talking in sleep is more common than is generally supposed. Arm strong and Child found in 200 stu dents, between the ages of twenty and thirty years, that 41 per cent of tho men und 37 per cent of the women talked in their sleepy and most of them could answer ques ti?iJa.--'Harper'8 Weekly. ? lt WM Not Craps After Al!. |J A: Kew.

Budolphus II. HOW THE SEXES DIFFER. Contrary Way? of Mon end Women lt Doing the Samo Thing. Ever watched a man ns he take9 a choir ? Ho'll move it-every time, even if ifs only an inch. He would not eit in it just whore it was for tho world. Watch him next timo and. ECO if ho doesn't move it. A woman will seat herself without touching the chair. A woman is more philosophical anyhow. Men are queer creatures, as every ono knows. A man will always Btir his coffee before drinking it. This is very foolish. Ile should taste it first to seo if it needs stirring. Few men open their personal cor respondence without looking at tho postmarks to soo the time of post ing. Women, on tho other hand, tear open tho envelope at once. They aro in too much of a hurry to waste any time. When a man puts on his hat ho almost always looks inside it first. What ho expects to see remains a mystery, but ho looks for it, all the same. He subjects the point of his pen to the samo careful scrutiny before commencing to writo a letter. A woman starts right off, jabs her pen in the ink pot and straightway be gins to scribble as if her lifo de pended on it. It is the man who reads with his back to the light, holding his book in one hand. Herein lies wisdom. A woman rests her. book on the ta ble and leans both elbows thereon. But the foolishness of the man's act' lies in the fact that he is seek ing comfort and seldom takes this position because it is the most sci entific, one. Of course he finds it isn't comfortable. His arm aches after the first ten minutes, where upon he puts his book down and re marks he is going out. It is the man who lets out se crets-not by tolling them, but by ill timed silence; He does worse; by refusing to gratify the curiosity of his questioners he invariably causes them to jump to conclusions much more damaging than the truth of the matter.^-rNew- York Press. j Dipl?melo. .. .

The oldest gamo known to man is choss. Tho origin of this game, or mimic battle, as Goldsmith call ed it in his translation ol Vida, date? back to 3000 B. C. It ia rich in legendary nncedotes, and its ven erable nomenclature has been trans mitted through all changes in lan guage from tao earliest tongues of the Inrlo-Europoan to the latest. A peculiar thing about chess, with its combination of idle amuse ment and extreme mental toil, is that it is tho onty game sanctioned by priesthoods of all beliefs. The principal piece in the gamo derives its name, king, from tho Persian shah, or ruler. Many men whoso names have gone down to posterity, such as Charlemagne, Tamerlane, Frederick tho Great, Charles XII., Voltaire, Rousseau and Ben Franklin, havo been devotees and students of the game. Chess is Asiatic in origin, and originally moro attention was paid to it by Asiatic students and philos ophers than by men of western coun tries. Of lato years, however, ita popularity has greatly increased among western nations, and nation al chess tournaments are now held by experts from nearly all countries. Tho history of chess may be di vided into three periods-tho age of the primeval Indian game, extend ing from its origin down to tho sixth century A. P.; the ago of the me diaeval chess, from tho sixth cen tury to the sixteenth century, and tho age of the modern chess, from tho last of tho sixteenth century to tho present day. Of course many changes in tho method of play took place in the course of development of tho game, and as it is played nov? it is different from the game the ancients know. Chess has boen played in nearly every country. Chessboards hove been found among ibo ruins at Pom? peii, end in tho Roman Forum one may still eeo th?? outline of a check erboard roughly scratched on the stone walk by some senatorial pago of Caesar's timo. In the orient both gamea have been played from time immemorial. v.-'. j fha Refreshment of Chango* ' A charming old lady who was so cially inclined, but who was kept rather closely at home by tho pres sure of many cares, used sometime* to exclaim, "I do just love to drink out of somebody else's teacups 1" A titting pendant to this agreea ble anecdote is another of a little girl whoso sapper invariably con sisted of bread and butter, milk and applo sauce, a monotonous diet, of which she frequently complained. One day she was asked out to sup per at a neighbor's. At a late hour the hostess found that no apple sauce had been prepared for* the lit tle guest, so she sent ono of the maids to the child's home for a sup ply. The little girl on returning to her mother was enthusiastic about the delightful visit and particularly about tho "beautiful supper," when she had been olio ved to pour milk sud cream for herself ?rom the dain tiest little pitchers. ' "And, oh, such good apple sauce. *f?w??i?, th? b??* I ever tasted F ' Queer Decorations. ' Many Japanese women gild thoir teeth. Women of Arabia, stain their fingers and, toes red. In Greenland women paint their faces blue and yellow.1 In India the women of three nigh' castes paint their teeth black. A Hindoo brido is anointed from head to foot with grease and saffron. Borneo women, dye the hair in fan tastic colors-pink, green, blue and scarlet. In Kew Holland Bears mado carefully with shells form elab?rate patterns on ' the women's faces. In tome South American tribes the wo men draw the front teeth, esteeming as an ornament the black gap thus made. ,-, . .? ? H?e Explanation.

Not the Right Question "Tho bravery of young men," enid ] Rear Admirable Buhler at Atlantic * City, according to the New York Tribune, "is a faot that I shall never oea8e to marvel over. Did you hear ' of a hope too forlorn, a ?risk too over whelming, for tho young mon of tho armioa and navies of the world to un dertake? "If only tho wrong men's wisdom equaled their bravery! But this is impossible. Sometimos I think boys have so muoh bravery there is no room iu them for anything else. | "I used to know a boy who was braye enough, but reokless, caroloss, extrav agant. Ho aooumulatod a great quan tity of debts. "His father gave him a talking to ono day. " 'Suppose,' he said, 'that I should bo taken away suddenly, what would be jome of you?'

' The Smallest She Had t A conductor on the O'Fallon Park division of the St..Louie and Suburban railway had such a good ran of busi ness Sunday afternoon, relates the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, that ho had difficulty in keeping himself supplied with small obango. Many porsons who patronized his car handed him dollars and bills of larger denomina tions in payment of their fares. The conductor, however, managed to get along fairly well until a woman carrying a tiny infant, boarded his oar. When he approached the wo man for her fare, she handed him a $5 bill. "Is that the smallest you have, mad? am?" queried the conductor, fearing 'mother stringenoy in obango. The woman looked at thc oonductor and then at her baby, and made this surprising reply: "Yes, Ihavs been married only twelve months."
