P. O. Hanlon, Providence, R. 1., says: “I

drummer and gave part of it to a young

face. Two applications of Tetterine com
pletely cured her.”

SLEEP OF GREAT MEN.
“Five hours’ sleep is sufficient for
men,” declared Napoleon. “Seven for
women, children, and fools.”
History hardly bears out the great
Corsican’s dictum, although there
have been some notable advocates
among the world’s great men of the
theory generally regarded as “burning
the candle at both ends.” Men, how
ever, undoubtedly differ fundamental
ly in regard to the need of sleep as
they do in other respects, and, wheth
er great or little, each one must work
out from experience a schedule of
rest, as he must of diet and exercise.
One fact, however, may be predicted
of almost all great persons; whatev
er their habits as regards retiring,
they have been early risers. During
the years of Daniel Webster’s greatest
congressional activity it was remark
ed of him that no one ever saw him
reading or preparing for his speeches.
This was all done, according to his
own confession, at an hour when other
men were still enjoying their morn
ing slumber. Webster possessed in a
high degree what is known as the
“morning temperament,” as distin
guished from the “night tempera
ment,” and he found, consequently,
that his mind manifested greatest clar
ity and productivity during the early
hours of the day.
Balzac, that titan of the nineteenth
century, was accustomed regularly to
arise at midnight, and, after envelop
ing himself in his monk’s habit, to
seat himself at his desk and force his
weary brain to its task of creation.
Carried away by admiration of the
“master,” Theophile Gautier and a
number of other ambitious youths of
the day undertook to imitate this pe
culiarity of the “father of realism,”
with the result that very soon they
were forced to take to their beds in
earnest to make up for the hours stol
en from slumber. Doctors, doubtless,
would point to the early taking off
of Balzac, who died when fifty-one
years of age, as proof of the delete
rious effects of such a regimen. On
the other hand, it may be questioned
whether his exhaustion was not due to
the and financial troubles
of his years, rather than to
work at ill-advised hours. It is as
illogical to attribute his early death to
the abnormality of his habits of labor
as to attribute the long survival of
Voltaire and the explorer and traveler,
Alexander Humboldt, to a like cause.
On one occasion Max Muller, as re
lated in his autobiography, was re
turning from an evening entertain
ment in Berlin with Humboldt, who
was then eighty years of age, and the
conversation turned upon the latter’s
“Cosmos.” Bitterly the savant com
plained that he was no longer able to
accomplish as much as previously,
since he now required four hours’
sleep instead of two, as in earlier
years. “When I was your age,” he
remarked to the prilologian, “I would
simply turn down my lamp, and, after
a nap of two hours, would be as fresh
as ever.”
The sleeping room of Voltaire’s sec
retary at Ferney was directly beneath
that of the author, and at any hour of
the day or night, when moved to com
position, the great Frenchman was oc
customed to stamp upon the floor of
his chamber and summon the unfortu
nate scribe to take down his thoughts.
When once under way it was no unus
ual thing for him to continue working
sixteen hours at a stretch.
Certainly for the nongenius there
can be little doubt as to which of the
two “temperaments” it is wise to cul
tivate. Goethe, despite his habit of
early rising, was wont to arise in the
night to scribble down a poem -or
song, and Emerson’s wife was sub-

ject to the danger of being aroused
by the philosopher in his search for
writing materials. “Only a thought,
my dear,” he would reassure her, as
he seized the fleeting inspiration.
Those of us, however, who are not
blessed or cursed with genius can
echo Sancho Panza’s fervent prayer:
“Blessings on the head of him who
invented sleep!”
During the time when suspicion
pointed strongly to Sir Walter Scott
as the author of the Waverly Novels,
the closest watchfulness of his guests
at Abbotsford failed to detect signs
of literary activity on their host’s
part, the reason being that his pen had
always completed its daily labors by
the time the amateur detectives had
arisen from their beds. —New York
Herald.
SURVIVORS OF THE “306.”
When the next Republican national
convention meets the famous “306”
will be on hand and will furnish an
interesting and novel feature of the
affair. Three hundred and six dele
gates voted for General Grant for
thirty-six ballots without losing a man
at the Chicago convention of 1880.
They were headed by Senator Ros
coe Conkling, of New York; Senator
John A. Logan, of Illinois, and Sena
tor Don Cameron, of Pennsylvania.
The figures “306” were famous in
politics for years after that, in fact,
as long as the great fight between
Stalwarts and Half breeds continued.
Senator Cameron had a medal struck
to commemorate the fight with “306”
on it and presented one to each of the
306.
Col. A. W. Hughes, of Tennessee,
was one of the 306, and he is engineer
ing the scheme to have the survivors
next year wherever the national con
vention is held. There are understood
to be about eighty survivors.—New
York Times.
WHY HE GOT DEGREES.
Woodrow Wilson, president of
Princeton, was deploring the promis
cuous giving of honorary degrees.
“Our universities have learned of
late,” he said, “to distribute honorary
degrees judiciously. But in the past —”
He smiled.
“Well, in the past, I met an un
couth person at a dinner, and, being
told by an acquaintance that he had
three degrees, I asked why it was.
“ ‘Well,’ said my friend, ‘the third
was given him because he had two,
the second because he had one, and
the first because he had none.’ ” —The
Providence Journal.
ALL SHE WANTED.
A Massachusetts man, prominent in
philanthropic circles, tells of a poor
little waif who, together with some
fresh air fund children, was one sum
mer taken down to East Gloucester.
The man had wandered down on the
rocks, and found in a quiet place the
waif sitting by herself, surveying the
ocean with great interest.
“Why, little girl,” said the philan
thropist, “you are entirely alone!
Don’t you want to play with the other
children?”
“No, sir,” was the reply. “I’d rather
look at the ocean.”
“And what do you find to interest
you in the water?”
“There’s such a lot of it,” responded
the waif, with quiet enthusiasm, “an’
it's the only time in me life I’ve ever
seed enough of anything.”
Little Margie: “What do you have
to go downtown for every day, papa?”
Papa: “To earn your bread and but
ter, my dear.” Little Margie: “Well,
we’ve got lots of bread and butter.
Can’t you earn some jam today?”
