Grant's Belief in the Restorative Power of Sleep.

Before eleven o’clock the general-in-chief remarked to the staff: “We shall have a busy day to-morrow, and I think we hud better get all the #leep we can to-night. 1 am a confirmed believer in the rentorative qualities ot sleep, and always like to get at least seven hours of it, though I have often been compelled to put up with much less.” "It is said,” remarked Washburn, ‘that Napoleon often indulged in only four hours of sleep and still preserved all the vigor of his mental faculties.’’ "Well, 1, for one, never believed those stories,” the general replied. "If the truth be known, 1 have no doubt it would be found that he made up for his short sleep at night by taking naps during the day.”—Century.
