Awaking Thoughts.
Unless, on unusual occasions of
fatigue, the refined product of civiliza.
tion is not satisfled with the mere
horizontal position as a method of
inducing sleep. He requires the sup
port of a couch and {s very exacting
in his demands in this respect. Not
till these have been complied with
according to his individual conven
fence will sleep graclously relax the
tired limbs and allow the hrain—that
severely-taxed organ of intellectual
labor—a short rest,
Sleep's most glorlous gift 1s the
thoughts that come on our first
awaking from dreamless unconsclous
ness,. How many Inventlons, how
many soluions of lost secrets owe
their origin to such a discharge of
energy by a thoroughly rested brain!
We need not emile at that Italian
advocate who, on gaining a lawsult,
quoted as the chief {tem in his note
of expenses the “pensleri notturnl.”
Thus we are Indebted to sleep not
only for the renewal of elasticity
in all our organs, but also, as it
were, for our highest intellectual sug
pestions,
All these matters are so Intimately
connected with recumbence that even
at this stage one can no longer say
that the question is an indifferent
one,
Like an Annularly Curved Worm.
All phases of life are reflected in
recumbence. The infant, while en
joyving the highest animal happinesg¢
in his coutinual dorsal pesition, is
ripening for the cares of life. Baraly
a year, spent lylng In comparative
inactivity, has qualified the Ilittle
denizen of tha warld for gpontaneous
fatigue, which forces him to lie dowy
periodically during hig further devel
opment to the prime of {ife and dus.
ing life's moment when one, or an
other, or all his organs have grown
fncurably fatigue and reduce him-—
like the infant—to continual recum
bence. What a difference between
the compulsory bed in the two cases!
In the former, recumbence helps to
build up the body and develop it for
future work; here it expresses tha
hopeless Impotence of exhavsted and
irretrievably lost energies
The above remarks will Justify our
subjecting to a short consideration
the recumbence of the infant, as well
ag that of the healthy and the sick
adult—at the same time not forget
ting the dying.
The new-horn infant may he com
pared with an annularly curved
worm, striving to unwind itself as
soon as it has discarded the home

er in a flexed position at the great
Jointg of hip and knee. It stretches
and straightens its little limbs to pra
pare them for future service: but its
muscular strength does not suffice to
unroll the curved spine. Substan
tially, this unrolling ensues passive
ly. through the recumbence of the
Ifttle trunk on its couch
The Child's Bed.
How, then, should this couch be
disposed in order to facilitate the un.
rolling of his trunk for the little new
mortal? !
It is oabvious that if the back with
its hindward convexity be laid on ul
very soft couch, its own weight must
hollow out a cavity whieh will hin

of the little trunk. The {nfant's bed

Besides these physiological curves
the adult veterbral column has also
the peculiarity of a somewhat for
ward inclination as a whole.

of this fact on himself. Try to lie
down backward on the floor of your

lay two or even three rugs on it. You

Man Taller in Morn,
The hard horizontal couch stretches
the entire body, erects the forward
drooping head, and makes the whola
trunk longer, because stralghter, by
leveling the physlological cruves. It
thus corrects the contrary affect of
the upright carriage, in which the
physiologital curves are sharpened hy
the specific weight of the body. We
are actually taller when lylng on a
hard horizontal couch than when
standing, and taller in the morning
than in the evening.
Strictly, i. e., theoretically, speak
ing, we ought to lle in our beds on a
hard under-layer and without a pil
low, exactly llke the infapt, .
The hardness of the under-layer
should, however, be so far modified as
‘nut to endanger the cutaneous circu-
Jation st prominent parts of the body
}(aavrum, ghoulders, etc.). In prac
‘tice, however, we find that the in
fant's wulln('nuu to sleep without a
pillow soon turns to discomfort for
the growing child. |
Pillowless Discomforts.
The absence of a pillow makes the
dorsal position unpleasant, owing to
the backward droop of the head. .But.
it makes the side position almost un
hearahle, because the head then hangs
to one side and the cervical vertebrae
get bent over sideways.
#or the aduit the pillow makes the
dorsal position on a hnr‘ surface
bearable, and the glde posifion merely
possible,
How high should the piliow be? A
simple consideratjon will show that it
should not be substantially higher
than what amounts to the utmogt dis
tance hetween the ear and the acro
mion. Under this assumption only, the
neck will nelther be bent over side
ways in the shoulder position, nor
forward in the dorsal. Of course, the
pillow also must be @omparatively
nard (horsehair), ;
How to Lie Down.
Therefore, for lying rationally and
hyglenically, a comparatively hard
under-layer is requisite (a horsehair
mattress, with a seaweed or a very
tightly-strun spring mattress be
low). The pfllnw must he hard lke
wise and not higher than the shoulder
breadth. It is quite superfluous to
have the bed of the favorite excessive
breadth: It Is not at all necessary
that, when the arms are extended
«ideways the finger tips should bare
ly reach the edge of the bed. On the
other hand, the bed must in any case
be long enough, Although the sleep
er, lying with his leg joints Hghtly
bent, does not as a rule utillze the
length of his bed, yet he must find the
possibllity of comforiably stretching
himself out to his full length without
pressing his head or his feet flat,
Even if the bed cover has nothing
to do with actual recumbence, it may

be warm enough, but, above all, light.

The Sybarite's Bed.
Let us now leave the man lying in
such an ideal bed to his invigorating,
dreamless sieep. 'We wish him bril
liant flashes of intelligence on his
first awakening!
Bul we can not refuse to cast a
glande at that sleeper who prefers
the Sybarite's mstaken comfort lui
the rational claims of hygiene. We
will presume that he is sensible
¢nough to prefer a cool, well \'\‘ntL;
lited bedroom to a stifling overheat- |
ed one; that he does not impede the
| circulation of the alr above his bed
by having a tester over it. We will
!Ivu! presume that he is resting on so
high a couch that steps are required
for mounting it, or that he is letting
himself be flattened out under a
- mountain of heavy feather beds
| (called in this country “Tuch enten.'")
. We will rather assume, to his hon
or, that he is merely partial to a sof*
bed and more than a sufficlency ol
soft plllows.
. We will not assume tha, being in
good health and not distresed for
| breath, he has piled up the pillows
' so high that he sleeps sitting in his
hed —for we are here speaking only
L of lying
We merely opine that his feather
plllows are too soft, and we notice
that they close together, llke white,
vapor-laden clouds, over the sleeper’s
ears and bury his face in a hot, sti
fling caress. We ses him laboriously

This is a specially critical position
for ehildren and adolescents, because

ed figure. \
Meight of Pillow.
For children and adolescents the
hard bed, with a hard pillow tha
height of the shoulder breadth, is an
absolute hyglenic requirement. The
dorsal position Is better for them than
the side position, as the latter, even
with a hard mattress, can give rise to
a scoliotic position of the trunk. Chil
dren and adolescents must be prohib
ited from lyving on the stomach, which
s unhyvgienic, it 18 only in cases of
bone inflammation in the spine that
this position may be indicated as a
temporary one. |
As for adults, the hard bed with n]
hard pillow 1s to he recommended for |
them, too, on the grounds already
mentioned. |
Left Side To Be Avoided. 1
The dorsal or side position is*en to |
their individual taste, but it must not
be forgotten that lying on the left
side makes the sleeper feel the beat
ing of his heart and may induce the
rather discomforting thought of its
last throb. l
The position on the right side has
the advantage of more speedily clear- ]
ing the stomach of its contents, also
of more or less preventing the snor
ing, which strains the respiratory
muscles, and of freeing the heart from
pressure as much as possible. On the |
other hand, the right arm is easily
exposed to digsagreaable pressure. The
dorsal position insures a more umi
form activity of the two halves of the
thorax, but it encourages snoring. But
an old proverh says, “He who snores
long will Hve long” ‘
The most convenlent position, com
bining the advantages without the
disadvantages of the strict dorsal or
the strict side position, seems to me
to be the lving on the right shoulder.
It represents a middle course he(weeM
the other two,
Says “Lie on Right Shoulder."”
The right shoulder-blade, with the
costal ridges of the right side, and
the right hind-portion of the pelvie
circle, are the main supporting sur
taces in his position. The posture
prejuices nelther the heart nor the
lung activity, and the right arm suf
fers no pressure Nor—as in the
strict dorsal position—does the base
of the tongue, as it relaxes in sleep,
sink straight back against the uvula
waving on the play of the alr cur
rent, and thus help to produce noises
that can drive a neighbor to distrac
tion. -
1t the hard bed, with a hard pil
low the helght of the shoulder

for the healthy man, it might be
supposed that the sick man, at least,
when condemned to a longer recums
bence, might profit by a soft under
layer.
Patient ls Heated.
But this is by no means the case,
for every softer underiayer hearts
the recumbent and increases his dan
ger. Moreover, the softer underlayer
is far less of a support to the body
in need of rest than a more resis
tant bed. The more sensitive and in
need of support an ailing part of the
body becomes, the more unsuitable
does a too soft underiaker prove to
be. P

Concerted Action of Prominent
’ London Hostesses Resents
’ Rufer's Cool Attitude.
By THE COUNTESS OF WARWICK
Special Cable to The American.
~ LONDON, July 18.—Court cere
‘monials and entertainments of the
gseason closed officially Thursday
night with the second state ball,
which was postponed from June 23
in consequence of the assassination
*of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand.
As a matter of fact, the soclal sea
son of 1914 shut down to all in
tents and purposes a fortnight ago,
and Thursday night's affair was
somewhat of a wet blanket, for many
of the best people already had left
London.
The only possible reason for hold-
Ing the ball was King George's anx
ety not to have the court blamed for
cufting the seascn shortesafter hav
ing previously put a damper on it by
reason of two perfods of mourning
caused by the deaths of the Duke of
Argyll and Archduke Ferdinand.
1t was in the hope of keeping the
court set here until the latest pos
sible moment that the King insisted
on the second court be held instead
of abandoning it aitogether, It is just
another of those rather painful and
palpable efforts made by his majes
ty to curry favor with his subjects
—especially tradespeople.
A Struggling Season.
It has had its vicissitudes, this]
poor, struggling season. For the most
part society has just frittered along
with plenty of engagements, but
nothing to get enthusiastic about in
the way of functions. ‘
A notable feature of the present
season has been that Anglo-Ameri
can hostesses have done less enter
taining than for some years, and
many of them left London in the
height of the season, for instance the
Duchess of Mariborough, who now is
in America.
This seems simply that those hos
tesses who are the very salt of Lon
don's hospitality are at last taking
concerted action against the indif
ferent attitude of Queen Mary to
ward them and Americans generally.
People are still talkin® about the
tragic end of yvoung Baronet Sir
Dennis Anson, who leaped to his
death over the side of a steam iaunch
in the early hours of a recent morn
ing while returning from a midnight
frolic up the Thames.
Sir Dennis and those who accom
panfed him, comprised perhaps the
“gwiftest” section of the ultra-smart
get which has done many astonishing
things this season.
The Inquest over Sir Dennis failed
to bring out anything except the over
labored assertion by everyone called
that the voung baronet was “abso
lutely sober.” Most obvious ques
tions which should have been asked
were obviously unasked.
The Coroner's jury might have de
manded to know if it wasn't a fact
that Sir Dennis was challenged to
make the fatal dive by one of the
party, a woman at that; if it was
not a fact that the dive Anson took
into the grand canal in Venice which
nearly cost his life was not the re
sult of a similar challenge from the
same woman. i
More Inside History.
Also, it it was not a fact that a
member of the party, again the same
woman, to whom Sir Dennis handed
his watch chain before making the
dive, gave it to a footman on the
morning after the tragedy, telling him
to give it to any of Sir Dennis’
friends who called for fit.
One might have got nearer the
truth as Lo the real reason underly-
Ing the foolhardy affpir. As a writ;
er in a weekly paper puts it:
“The callousness of the modern
voung Mayfair person passes all un
derstanding.”
Lady Cunard (nee Burke, of New
York), whose debutante daughter,
Miss Nancy, witnessed young An
son's dive to death, was one of the
few dinner hostesses this week.
Lady Cunard's position as a soclal
arbiter and dictator ls to-day un
rivaled among the smartest set. She
{s a wonderful woman in many ways
and one can not but admire the tire
less energy that allows her not only
to be present, but to be the life and
soul of dozens of functioms, week af
ter week. .
Gets a Compliment.
A very well known hostess pald
her this compliment recently:
“You can always count on Lady
Cunard as a dinner hostess for your
dance and she's sure to arrive with
a party of attractive girls and men
who ‘can dance and will dance.”
This interesting paragraph ap
peared to-day in one of the London
weeklies:
“One of the greatest connoisseurs
in the art of dress at the present
moment is Mrs, John Astor. Her
friends say she spends no less than
five hours every day thinkoug out
and planning new §creations Her
London house ccontains four rooms
lined with wardrobes, with another
room set aside tor footwear."

BERLIN, July 18—Everybody in
Berlin who has derived profit from
the city's tar-famed night life—and
their name is legion—is in a state of
frenzied alarm over the threatened
shutting up of the town at 11 p. m.
Regulations to that effect are now
under serfous consideration at the
Prussian Ministry of the Interior,
which controls the police laws.
A mass meeting of earnest protost
already has takenplace.
The argument which it 4s hoped will
have the greatest effect on the au
thorities is that Berlin will sink to
an insignificant level as a tourist cen
ter if the 11 o'clock closing laws ove
enforced.
The lucrative American business in
the summer time, it is specially
pointed out, is likely to be lost.
The Kaiserin is said to be back of
the proposal, and the ultra-conserva
tive politicians representing the high
church party, of which she is the
head, have declared that the Kalisei's

} Four years ago, Joseph Caillaux en
deavored to obtain a divorce from
’hi§ second wife, Mme, Berthe Guey
‘dah, in-order to marry Calmette's
slayer, then Mme, Leo Claretie, of
'whom the statesman had long been
enamored.
’ Mme. Gueydan, however, ralsed
difficulties, so the husband sent his
friend, Alfred Wesphal, treasurer of
lthe League of Rights of Man, to see
her. It was found that she had pos
session of a packet of love letters
which Caillaux, in the course of sev
eral previous vears, had written Mme,
Claretie. These Mme, Gueydan agreed
to surrender on condition that Call
laux allowed her alimony of $lO,OOO
yearly after the divorce. .
Letters Highly Intimate.
Alternatively, she threatened if
Caillaux began divorce proceedings
without conceding her demands, she
would forthwith publish the letters
which would have the effect of ban
ishing him from political life forever
and also ostracise him from Paris so
clety.
The letters were profoundly intimate
and at the same time contalned the
unrestrained expression of Caillaux's
inner thoughts, revealing his political
duplicity in the- early stages of his
parliamentary career.
Caillaux consented to hls wife's
terms, whereupon she handed Wes
phal copies of the incriminating let
ters. It was only some months later,
Iwhen Mme. Gueydan received her
’flnal divorce paper, that she gave
| Wesphal the original letters. |
1 From this evidence Maitre La Bori,
the most eminent lawyer in F‘rance,‘
who defended Captain Alfred Dreyfus,
will draw the following conclusions: |
Early in the present year, Calmette
published a portion of one of the
letters contained in the packet of
originals which Mme., Gueydan has
surrendered to her husband. This
was a letter signed “Thy Jo,” which
showed how Caillaux, who, as Finance
Minister, at the beginning of the
present year, was rushing the income
tax bill through Parliament, had,
previously, confessed his secret oppo
gition to such taxation to Mme, Clare
tie.
Feared More Publicity.
Maitre L.a Bori will contend that
the present Mme. Caillaux, when Cal
mette published this letter, was justi- |
fled in concluding that the editor also
was in possession of coples of other
incriminating letters which Calllaux
wrote her and that the entire packet
which Mme. Gueydan returned had
been copied during the interval be
tween the time she handed Wesphal
the copies and when she gave up the
originals. <
Because she knew many of theee
letters contaln gross expressions,
Mme. Calllaux was driven frantic by
the fear that Calmette would put
them in print, and, while in this
frame of mind, she shot him dead
with the dual object of protecting
her honor as a woman and saving her
husband from irretrievable political
ruin.
It i{s this chain of .evelations
whereof no French newspaper is yet
informed which renders not at all im
probable the prisoner’'s immediate ac
quittal or a nominal sentence with
the benefit of the first offender's act.
Seventy to Testify.
There will be altogether about 70
witnesses, including about fourteen
newspaper editors, Joseph Calllaux;
ex-Prime Minister Louls Barthou, his
political enemy; Paul Bourget, Call
laux'e friend, and Mme. K Gueydan.
With the exception of Wesphal, hows=
ever, their testimony will contain no
fresh revelations,
The defense will also offer medical
testimony showing that Calmette's
life might have been saved if the doc
tors had acted immediately, instead
lof taking the wounded editor several
miles to a private hospital ‘when he
was bleeding to death,

Depew Spry at 80 Has
No Longevity Rules
“Always Have Done as | Please,”
Both He and W. H. Crane
Explain.
Speclal Cable to The American,
LONDON, July 18.—For the past
week London has been entertaining
octogenarian Chauncey M. Depew
and septuagenarian Willilam H.
Crane.
Although neither would consent to
lay down any specific rules captioned
“Howto Be Happy Though Elderly,”
both of them abundantly proved dur
ing their stay here that they know all
‘about the subject.
~ The former United States Senator,
who is here with his wife, belleves
implicitly in the value of living and
says so himself.
“1 can't point out any one attri
bute of mine, any innate quality-re
sponsible for my present physical
and mental health,” sald Mr. Depew.
“I always have done just about as I
pleased. I never have been an ab
‘stemious man in the sense of being a
‘teetotaler, and have never taken
on any amount of exercise. But, do
you know, sometimes I believe thal
{f a man does plenty of mental ex
ercise the physical exercise isn't at
all necessary.
~ “I can assure anyone who is in
terested that my capacity for being
pleased with life was never greater
nor more keenly developed than to
day.”
Willlam H. Crane, looking forward
'to the coming season’s road tour in
the new “Henrietta,” with the all
‘eager anticipation of a star half his
age.
With Depew, the veteran actor, in
‘sists that abstention from the things
one likes can not be requisite to
‘longevity. He says he has always
‘dor.e that which pleased him, and
still does.
