EARLY RISING.

It li Not Good For Those Who Hsv# to Work Hard All Day. There is no adequate support for the impression that the early morning hours are in any way more wholesome or healthy than later periods of the day. Except in summer time, they are apt to l*e damp, foggy, chilly and among the least desirable hours of daylight. It Is quite true that during the summer there is a sense of exhilaration «l>out !>eing abroad In these early morning hours, but this evaporates with the dew and is apt to be succeeded by a corresponding depression and loss of working power later in the day. 1 have been observing my friends and patients for the past twenty years In tills respect and am Inclined to the opinion that not a little of the depression and nervousness which bo commonly develop in hot weather is due to excessive exposure to light, from habits of early rising, inherited from agricultural ancestors, not counterbalanced by three to four hours' rest in darkened rooms in the middle of the day. Secondly, that the exhilaration experienced during the early morning hours is nn expensive luxury, which has to be paid for later In the day. In fact, I have found that, as a general’rule, to put it very roughly, the business or professional man who rises an hour before 7.30 or S o'clock goes to l>ed or loses his working power nn hour and a half earlier in the evening. Each Individual has iu the beginning of his day aliout so much working power stored up in Ids brain and muscle cells, if lie uses this up with great rapidity in the early morning hours he naturally exhausts his stock the sooner In the afternoon or evening. It Is largely a matter of when a man wishes to l>e at his best. If his occupation is of such a character that he can clear off the brunt of his work In the early morning hours, then let him rise early. If. on the other hand, he requires full vigor and readiness of mind and body In the latter part of the day or at night, then lie must rise later to got It. Even in pure muscle work It is false economy to work too long hours. —American Magazine.

AN INGRATE SOLDIER.

His Cowardly Action Was the Making cf a Nobleman. Here is a story of the battlefield. There was war Iwtween the Swedes and the I • s. One day a great battle \ i he. and the Swedes were beaten and driven from the field. A soldier of the Danes who had been slightly wounded was sitting on the ground. He was about to take a drink from a tlask. All at once he heard some one say: “Oh, sir, give me a drink, for I am dying!’’ It was a wounded Swede who spoke. He whs lying on the ground only a little way off. The Dane went to him at once. He knelt down by the side of his fallen foe and pressed Hie flask to his Ups. ‘’Drink,” said he, “for thy need Is greater than mine." Hardly had he spoken these words when the Swede raised himself on his elbow. lie pulled a pistol from ids pocket and shot at the man who would have befriended him. The bullet grazed the Dane's shoulder, but did not do him much harm. “Ah, you rascal!” lie cried. “I was going to liefrieud you, and you repay me by trying to kill me. Now I will punish you. I would have given you all the water, but now you shall have only half.” And with that he drank the half of it and then gave the rest to the Swede. When the king of the Danes heard about tills he sent for the soldier and had him tell the story just as It was. “Why did you spare the life of the Swede after he had tried to kill you?” asked the king. “Because, sir.” said the soldier, “I could never kill a wounded enemy.” “Then you deserve to be a nobleman,” said the king. And he rewarded him by making liiin a knight and giving him a noble title.—“Famous Stories Retold.”

Needless Ceremony. Peter bud l>een hastily bidden to Bobby Hunt's party, and his mother was “rounding him up" iu.front of the washstatuL “Oh, mother.” lie said, “do 1 have to have a whole bath?” “Certainly.” Peter mumbled something, and hi* mother asked him what it was. “I said were you sure it wasn’t Just your idea,” replied Peter. “I'm certain I heard Bobby’s mother tell you over the telephone that the party was very Informal.”—Youth’s Companion.

He Knew Them. Once at an important function at Marlborough House Sir Francis Knol lys came up to the Prince of Wales ami remarked. “Some gentlemen of the press wish admission, your royal highness.” “Oh,” said the prince, “show them In. If they don't come in at the door, they'll come In at the ventilator.”

In Harness. “It must !>e fun,” suggested the friend, “to dally daily with these shafts of wit.” “Not when you're hitched between ’em,” responded the press humorist, with a sickly smile.—Louisville Cou-rier-Journal.

The Last Word. Dyer—I don’t object to my wife having the last word. En[iec—I wouldn't if mine would culj out some of those before It.—Smart Set.

CATGUT STRINGS. The Way They Are M.de From the Intestines of Sheep. Catgut otriug*. it is well known, are made of the intestines of sheep. The intestines of the full grown animal are from forty to fifty feet loug. The raw material from the stockyards Is first thoroughly cleansed of fat and fleshy fiber by dull knives arranged ou a drum turned by a crank. Tbe white tough membrane that is left is then handed over to the splitter, who dexterously splits the material Into even strands by bringing It against the blade of a safety razor set upright in the table before him. The strands are then spun together and placed on the drying frames. An American E violin string requires six strands, the European four. The strands, at one end fastened to an upright post, are twisted together while still damp and pliable by means of a spinning wheel. Taken from the drying frames, the strings are cut in lengths, coiled and boxed In oiled paper for shipment To polish the strings very line emery paper laid on a grooved aluminium block is used. While the strings are still on the drying frame the covered block Is passed over tbe strings, polishing as many at one time as there are grooves In the block. It can be seen that from tbe manner in which the strands are twisted the effect of polishing is to weaken the string. In the essertial features the process of making the tine gut strings for surgical uses or the heavy strings threeeighths of an inch thick sometimes employed for machinery belting does not differ from the method employed in the case of the musical strings except that the latter are haifllled with more care.—Chicago Record-Herald.

DARING PHOTOGRAPHY.

Perilous Feats of the Men Who Manipulate the Cameras. A man who can stand or sit on the flange of a steel beam not so wide as the sole of your shoe mid 000 feet above n roaring granite paved city street, there coolly to take successful pictures of the top of the city far below him. must la: possessed of three qualifications and each of the first water. He must have Judgment, patience and courage, these three, and. one may add without slighting the other two. the greatest of these is courage. So writes II. G. Hunting in ttie Technical World Magazine. The eager eye of the camera goes everywhere nowadays, and the man who makes picture getting his business adopts no peaceful, unexciting pursuit. If be is under contract to a great newspaper or magazine lie may be called upon to secure a picture of anything, from a flashlight In the black depths of a metropolitan sewer to a portrait of the fairest white slave in a Turkish harem. He may be asked to “get’’ u female grizzly nursing her whelps in her mountain lair to illustrate some naturalist’s work at one end of tlie year, and before tbe other end has come lie may snap a shutter on the lip of some smoking volcano's crater. When you see a striking or n star tling picture of man or iieast in some extraordinary place or pose, do you ever stop to think where the photographer was who made the negative or how he got there?

Pepper In Olden Times. During the middle ages iu Euroi>e pepper was the most esteemed and important of all tlie spices. Genoa, Venice and other commercial cities of central Europe were indebted to their traffic in pepper for a large part of their wealth. Its importance ns a means of promoting commercial activity and civilization during the middle ages can hardly tie overrated. Tribute was levied in pepper, and donations were made in this spice, which was frequently also used as a medium of exchange in place of money. When the imperial city of Rome was besieged by .Marie, the king of the Goths, In Jog A. D.. the ransom demanded Included 5,0<X) .pounds of gold, 30,000 pounds of silver and 3,000 pounds of pepper, illustrating the Importance of this spice at that time.

For Poetical Reasons. "rerehance,” called the amiable widow, “come bere!" The little lapdog trotted meekly up. “Surely that is a strange name for a dog! exclaimed tbe gentleman visitor. "What made yon name him l*errhance?’’ “I am so fond of poetry!” explained the lady lucidly. “Madam, forgive me, but I fail to see the applicability.” "Why, silly man,” exclaimed the merry widow, “I named it after Byron s dog! Don't you remember where he says, ‘Perchance my dog will howl?’ ”
