essential prerequisite of refresh ing slumber says the american ana lyst the cautions so often reiter ated in old medical journals against lata suppers wore dlreoted chiefly to the bibulous habits of those early times when at every late feast the guests not unstldom drank themselres under the table or needed strong assistance to reach their coach the canon against such indulgeiee was not untimely nituro and common sense teach ns that a fall stomach la essential to qrite repose every man who has found it difficult to koep awake after a hearty din ner has answered the problem for himself there are few animals that can be trained to rest until after they are fed man as he comes into the world presents a condition it would be well for him to follow in all his after life the bweatest minstrel ever sent ont of paradise can not sing a new born child to sleep on an empty stomaoh we have known reckless nurses to give the little ones a doso of paregoric or soothing syrup in place of its cup of milk when id was to inuoh trouble to get the latter but this is the one alternative the little stom aoh of the sleeping child as it becomes gradually empty folds on itself in plaits two of these make it restless three will open its eyes but by careful soothing these may be closed again four plaits and the charm is broken there is no more sleep in that household until that ohild has been fed it seems to us so strange that with this example before their eyes fullgrown men are so slow to learn the lesson the farmer does it far his nigs who wonld squeal all night if it were not fed at the last moment and the groom knows that his horse will piw in his stall until he has had his meal but when he wishes to sleep hiimelf he never seemj to think of it to sleep tho fullness of the blood must leave tbo head to digest the eaten food the blood must come to the stomaoh thus sleep and digestion are natural allies one helps the other man by long praotioo will train himself to sleep on an empty stomach but it is more the eleep of exhaus tion than tbo sleep of refreshment ho wakes up after such a troubled sleep feeling utterly miserable until he has had a cup of coffee cr some other stimulant and ho has bo injured the tone of his stomaoh that he has little appetite for breakfast whereas one who allows himself to sleep after a comfortable meal awakens strengthened and bis appetite has been quickened by that preceding indul gence the difficulty in recovery oomaa from the fact that we are such creatures of our habits it is impossible to break away from them without persistent effort in this case the man who has eaten noth ing like our correspondent after 6 oolook and retiree at 10 or 1 1 takes to bed an empty stomaoh upon which the aotion of the gas tric j aices makes him uncomfortable all the nighc if he proposes to try our experiment ho will sit down and eat a tolerably hearty meal he is unaccustomed to this at that hour and has a bense of discomfort with it he may try it once or twice or oven longer and then he gives ib up satisfied that for him it ia a failure the true coarse is to begin with just one or two moatbfals the last thing before going to bed and this ahould b8 light food easily digested no cake nor pastry should ba tolerated one mouthful of cold roast bjef cold iamb cold ohioken and a little crust of bread will do to begin with or what is better yot a spoonf ull or two of bordens condensed milk not the sweetened that comes in cans in three times as much warm water into this ont half a pared peach and two or threo little squares of bread the whole to bo one- fourth or onesixth of what would be a light lunoh increase this very gradually until at the end of a month or six weeks tho patient may indulge in a bowl of milk two psaches with a half hard roll or a crust of homamade bread when poaches are gone take baked apples with the milk till strawberries oomo and oat tbo latter till peaches return acraln thia is the secret of oar health and vital ity we often work until after midnight but eating tho comfortable meal is the last thing we do every night of tho year thu is not an untried experiment or one depend ing on tho testimony of a single witness we have a record of several hnndred persons who have triod the remedy we suggest and it has failed in no single instance where the initial steps woro taken with caution

which including armament hoi al ready cost 135000000 and for the com pletion and improvement of whioh np to date farther large credits most from time to time be voted marks a new departure in the history of fortifioation hitherto the role of permanent fortifioation bos been limited to the protection of certain strategi cal points such as road meetings and river passages by fortifying whioh points it has been possible for a small foroe to defend itself when attacked by one numerically stronger in this way fortresses have acted as point d avpptii for armies in the field the french camp retrcmcht has a different role to fulfil is is intended to reoelve on entire army not under but within its walls and to give the army shelter rest and means of refitting it thus becomes a base of operations rather than a point d appui the danger is that as such it will aot detri mentally as regards the free action of the ommander of the army whioh has the camp for its base hitherto fortification has been subservient to strategy the frenoh are attempting to reverse thia and in build lug works of defense at certain places and leaving gaps at others they openly avow their intention to control tho oonduot of the campaign and limit the movements not only of their own armies but of those of their enemies also far from being alarmed at the construction of this chinese wall the germans have been watohing its progress with grim satisfaction they declare the permanent works whioh the frenoh have thrust forward into their front line to be a strategical monstroclty whioh will only serve to hamper the offensive action of french armies in the field they affirm that the works are useless even from the point of view of pnre passive defence and that it will be easy to break through the centre of the wall verduntoul by over whelming with the help of the light fild siege trains which are ready at metz and strasbnrg one or two of the forti darrtt which block tho roads near commeroy the value ot the new french defenses oan only be determined by the result of war bnt the previous testimony of history is oertainly on the side of the germans forts whioh are invulnerable to day may bs found tomorrow to be worthless as military obstacles the offensive action of modern field artillery is year by year increasing in power as fresh ohemical discoveries are made tne french are strengthening their works with ooncrcte and iron but even ooncrete and iron are not proof against the powerful fulmlooton shells which the germans have constructed for their rifhd field mortars hydraulic bama very few persons understand the method of raising water by the use of the hydraulio ram though there are many placet where they can be profitably employed tho in vention is an old ono and apparently comes near perpetual motion i the ram itself is a pearshaped iron oylinder placed in the ground at a depth sufficient to proteot it from the effeot of frost in winter the spring or well which supplies the water is situated at same point above so that there will ba a fall of one foot for every eight feet of perpendioular height to whioh the water is to be carried for instance if it is necassary to foroe water np a hill to the house whioh stands fortyeight feet above the spring the fall must be at least six feet from the spring to the ram the hor izontal distance has no effaot on the circu lation and it is often carried hundreds of fest and in some oases over a thousand the principle on which the water is foroed np is by compressed air the water passes from the spring in a pipe say two inches in diameter against a oheokvalve whioh is lifted up by the force of the water nntil ib reaones a oertain point when a por tion of the water is crowded by its own weight into the ram until tho air ia so com pressed that it discharges itself into a small pipe say half an inoh in diameter which inns np the elevation to the barnhouso or wherever wanted in well constructed rams the power has been found to be about two- thirds of the energy of the falling water wherever small quantities of water la need ed this way of supplying the want has been fonnd to bo very convenient the only thing that seems to stop the working ia a failure ot the water supply night and day year af tei year the little air engine workb away need ing no rest oil or wind simply water and that in

servica which alexander iii is rendering to the contin ent the peril to the peace of e arope which the russian emperor has staved off by bis resolute reserve is greater than most people seem to think it arises from the restless ambition and nervous anxieties of a group of young gen erals who surround the gtrman emperor and who are contku tlly plying him with arguments in favor of going to war at once priace bismarck ia much less warlike than his rival count waldersee but count waldersee la exceeded in bdllicoee urgency by gen wittich and on or two others who stand very dote to the kaiser the argu ments of these advocates for immediate war are in brief as follows germany is sur rounded by foes who wait but an opportun ity to deal her a deadly blow tf aver shall we be in a better condition to anticipate attack than we are today we have now all the latest and improved weapons the new magszne rirle the smokeless powder with which our neighbors are not yet provided in a few years they will have all our advantages but just now we have them at almost as treat a disadvantage as we had austria in 1866 when the needle gun swept away the mnzzeloadlng armies of francis joseph but that is not the only argument in favor ot action our great ganerals are now very old in a few yeers they will have passed away if we fight now we shall have combined monopoly of the greatest strategists and tho newest weapons it is a chance which may never recur war then war at the earliest possible opportunity that is the obvlons necessity of german polioy the german emperor is inclined to take this course but he wavers and hesitates be tween the youne men and the old for bismarck ia doubtful as to tho wisdom of precipitating war and he is understood to be opposed to it altogether unless he cn neutra lize russia it was to this end that he employed all hiselcquenoo during the czars visit to berlin but he failed and failed utterly to commit tho czvr to any arrange ment with tho triple alliance i have received a very ourious account of the inter view between the czir and the german chancellor of tho accuracy of whioh there is no doubt prince bumarck who for several months past has been pressing for the definite annexation ot bosnia and the herzegovina to austria read the czir a memoir in which ho sought to prove that his polioy had nevkb behn opposed to russia and that russias true policy was to j an the triple alliance ascent to austrias extensions to siloniea and compensate her self by takiog constantinople and whatever else she pleased of the ottoman empire the czir listened in profound silence when bismarck had finished he replied i shall maintain my reserve i can enter into no suoh arrangements the cz ir said prince bismarck afterward is inscrutable incal culable and as immovable as a rock in reality there is nothing inscrutable in the russian policy the czir wills peace ho is not to be tempted into any policy of robbers by promises of plunder the ber lin settlement was made against russia but russia has accepted it nor will tho tolerate any change in the status qno she takes her stand on the berlin treaty not as the best or even as a good arrangement but as the only possible means of avoiding war from that the czir refuses to bo drawn and that secures peaoe bismarcks great mistake has been his inability to understand the character of alexander iii he imagined that he oould manage him as he managed bis father by his austo german alliance he thought he could overawe russia so as to compel the emperor to acqnlesco in hla policy there was where he mistook alexander iii the czir was not in the least overawed ho was however naturally very angry in stead of boing cowed ho was indignant so far from being coerced into an acceptance of bismaroka polioy he at once adopted a polioy of calm and resolute reserve he wants nothing but peace he will not be seduced into a polioy of aggression the path to whioh has teen made easy to him in vnin he holds himself aloof from leogues of peace whioh are in reality leagues for par tition and bis attitude of armed abstention is at this moment the great safeguard of peace it the czir had oonsented to accept con stantinople as tho price of bis adhesion to the triplo alliance war would soon have been arranged austria might have annex ed bosnia in that c ise the servians in that province and in the kingdom wonld have flown to arms or austria might have been pushed forward to intervene in force in servia then again there would bo war this of course may still be done but it will not be done nnlesa germany foels secure of russia confining her attentions to austria or to austria and turkey the first objeot of the war party in germany is the nentrl- fioatlon of russia whether by involving her in an eastern war or by bribing her with turkish territory is to them a matter of indifference they would gladly see russia involved in war with austria if they were quite sure that austria was strong enough to divert all the russian forces there however is the weak point in their calcula tions the russians believe that they need nob detail more than 200000 men to render an effective account of austria if tbey should be forced into war the rest of their troops they will keep in readiness for german foei as long as there is a strong mobile foroe in russia available for action on the german frontier so long will the peace of emope be freed from its greatest peril once let tho russian factor be eliminated or neutraliz ed and yon would see tub long expected war which any accident may begin
