First Sleep Has Greatest Recuper
live Value.
The (rman Soeissty for Intsrual
Mediciee devoted the firet day of this
year's congress in Wiesbaden to a
dismission of the eharacter and treat-
ment of eleeple,senees. Before the
question "Whet is sleep?" the various
expes s who presented papers all con-
feesed their iguorance. Ingenious
suggestions have been made without
Lumber; but not ene has been able
to stand out against clime examaina-
tion, and the medical world is in the
end as ignorant as ever.
Little more an be said than thet
sleep is a phenomenon of vital neces-
sity; experiment has shown that
dogs die sooner when deprived of
sleep than when deprived of food—
a particularly horrible experbnent.
Another well-recognized fact is the
varying intensity of sleep. Ttere is
not only the differeece betweea a
lieht and heave- sleeper; it has been
proved conclusively that the first
hours of sleep are deeper than the
rest, and that with the length the
tendency to wake at any noise in-
creases. Fro ra this follows the re-
euperative value of the few first
hours of deep sleep and the explana-
tion why men of great euergy like
Napoteon, Frederick the Great and
Virchow were completely satisfied
with a sleep of from three to four
hours.
Reference was made to the well -
marked division between the morn -
and evening worker. The one after
a short deep sleep rises up fresh and
ready for work. The other is tired
and weak in the morning, grows
more active In the course of the day,
stays un late, and goes to sleep with
difficulty. This, too, is the type of
the nervous man, who Is generally
most capable for work at night, and
of the "melancholiker," who is
gloomy and bad tempered In the
morning and happy only as the day
draws en.

A Regiment of Giants.
Frederick the Great originated the
Prussian guards. Fie ambition was
to form a royal bodyguard of giants.
Every cc/entry was ransacked by his
agents to supply recruits, and no
head that towered above the crowd,
eeen in the bazaars of Aleps or
Cairo, could escape the arimps of
the Prussian king. The most extra -
elegant sums were offere& to men of
exceptional inches, and an Irishman

Nearly every one thinks that oil
will make anything slippery and that
it will deerease friction between any
two sliding surfaces. Thies is not so,
for oil poured on wood will actually
inerease friction. and it has been
found generally that anything used
as a lubricant that is .abscrbed by the
thing lubricated will have the oppo-
site effect from the desired one. Wood
frictien will be .decreased by soap or
graebne, bemuse these are not ab-
sorbed by weed.

SILAGE AND DAIRY COWS.
A Trying Season Is the Latter Part of
Summer and Early Fall.
• One of the most trying seasons of
the year for the dairy cow is the latter
part of slimmer and early fall. At tbis
season the pastures are often short or
dried up, and in such cases it is a com-
mon mistake of dairymen to let their
cows drop off in tow of :milk throutth
tack of feed. Later they end 1 im-
pessible to restore the milk ow no
ratter how the cows are fed. Good
dairy pracilee dem:tens that the reek
tiow be maintained at a high level all
the thme from parturition to drying off.
It bee:me-es nece.esary therefore to sup-
per sz=e feed to Mee the place of the
gres.s. The easiest way to do this is
by meane of silage. Silage is chrier
end.detieledly more menvenient to use
than soling crops.
The =omits to feed will depend
upon the condition of the pastures,
varying all the way from ten pounds
to a fall winter feed of forty pounds.
It should be remembered. in this con-
nection that silage contains a low per-
centage of protein, so that the greater
the amount of gene fed the greater
. must be the amount of protein in the
supplementary feeds to properly bal.
aece the ration.

BABYLONIAN LEGEND.
New Fotmd Tablets Enlarge Archaeo-
logist's Field a H.nowledge.
The Babylonians were rich in ac-
counts of the first beginnings of
things, and the religious man. had a
:choice of beliefs without in.uch dan-
ger of being regarded as heterodox,
said Mr. T. G. Pinches, in an address
in London recently on the latest dis-
coveries in Babylonia.
Farther information concerning
these legends, as also of those con-
cerning the Flood, have reached as
said 3fr. Pinch. The opening of the
eases containing the Inscriptions dis-
covered .at Nifter (the Calneh of
Genesis) had been resumed, with
gratifying results.
One of these documents, inscribed
in three columns on each side, has,
in the first column, instructions con-
cerning the building of cities, 'which,
it seems, "were given by the gods to
the first men."
The seeonti column mentions some
of the antediluvian cities of Babylon.
'which Erin bestowed upon certain
gods. There is a reference also to
the cery Larak, identified long ago 4
with the Larancha of Berosus. ao- a
cording to whore it was the seat of '
the pm:deal:man kengs of the land—
A -eempsenus, who reigned 36,000
,years, and Opartes, the father of
Xisethras, whose reign lasted 22,800
years. Xesuthras was the Babylonian
Atra-hasis (tee Chaldean Noah), the
"exceedingly wise," the favorite of
th: god:, who saved mankind front
destr -ction and attained to immortal-
ity without death.
Other columns of the inscription,
It appears refer to the Flood, of
which A.tra-hasis was the central fig-
ure, while Zin-Giticlei, "the long-liv-
ed," was king.
Babylonian stories of the Flood
have already come to light, but the
mew text at Philadelphia, according
to Dr. Poebel, the translator, is an
entirely different account, the hero
bearLeg a mune different from that
fouled in the other Deluge storlee. It
is probable, however, that all the
. versions of the Flood and the legends
in general are much older than the
time when they were written.
I For those who prefer something of
' a lees epeculatiee character than the
Creation and Flood legends, the third
tablet was of greater Importance.
Thia portion, when complete, gave
hfstory of the world from tee time
of the Flood to the reign of the king
under wtom the tablet was written.
Not only are the names of the kings
• giren, with the lengths. of their
reigns, but silo in some eases there
• are historical details.
It seems not uealkely that thla
great Babylonian chronological docu-
ment will prove to be a completion of
that recognized by G. Smith, the
Assyrislogist, among the treasures of
the British Museum in 11173. That
'scholar fulte realized the value of his
find, notwithatandleig that itil cora-
pletentaa fell far short of the new
records just. anpounced.
Among the moat recent discoveries
are the site of Drebenx .and Joklese
but tif greater Importance, because of
Bible:al reference, is the sit of Erech,
*ow known as Werke. The new In-
erriotleas from Erech are mostly li
trade documente, but in the matter i
of orncials their names are not only 1
important historically, but are likely i/
to be so likewise chronologically, ons
et the innerlptions dating in the nine- .
teenth year or Nebuchadnezzar.
