AN AIMLESS LIFE.
Andrew' Icnch was one of those mor
tals who are so unfottunale as not to
be dopendf nt upon tlielr own efforts for
support.
Having graduated ut coIIcku lie
pasftwl two years abroad and returned
to his native land uncertain whether
ho would be a physician, a lawyer or
u minister of the gospel, for nny of
which vocutlons he deemed himself
equally adapted. For "business' ho nad
no inclination.
As he laally reclined In an easy chair
smoking u fragrant cigar his eyes fell
upon the. following "ad" In a paper of
that day's) Issue which lie had been
reading:
Wanted Intelligent young man, of
pleasing address, to canvass for the
sale of a domestic article on commis
sion; references required, but experi
ence unnecessary. Call upon or address
Drown & Co., 15 st.
For a few moment; he remained
silent, and then mutered:
"I am not destitute of intelligence,
and think that 1 can be pleasing In my
nddress," smiling ns he spoke. "1 won
der if It would not be advisable for mo
to confer with Drown & Co."
tie rose ftom his seat, started from
the house and wended Ills way to 15
street, where ho learned that the
article was n kerosene lamp appllnncc
which Increased the volume ot light at
the some (line that It decreased the
quantity of .oil consumed.
He easily Indeed, greutly to tho
satisfaction of Drown & Co., when they
had acquainted themselves with hltf
antecedents secured n sltuutlon ns
lanvasser, and the next day left the
city on his bicycle.
The first place he "worked" was a
thriving village, where his sales weie
few, and, despite Ills' uniform courtesy,
he was subjected to the repulsive treat
ment which agents are wont to receive.
His next venture was In a rural district,
where the houses were far aoart, and
ho "wheeled" many times about with
out bplng allowed even to show what
ho wished to dispose of, an ho was
usually confronted at the door by some
one who said:
"We are not i-'-epared to purchase
anything of the kind today," or simi
larly. "I declare, 1 pity the por.r fellows
whose hread and butter depend upon
work like this." hr frequently remark
ed to himself, laughingly.
Quite late one showery afternoon ho
reached a hamlet where there wns no
hotel, but h.- llnally secured entertain
ment In .i private family. As he sat
on the veranda of the house where he
was temporarily domiciled the first
evening of his stay in the place the
tones of jorae one singing to the ac
companiment of a piano were audible
and addressing bis host. Thomas
Marsh by name, with whom lie had
been conversing, he asked:
"Who Is possessed of such a won
derfully fine voice'.'"
"It l tho dauchler of the man who
lives in thnt house," Mr. Marsh re
plied, indicating with his linger the
house nearest his own, "who Is fitting
herself to teach music."
"I should think her already fitted to
teach It vocal music, at least," French
observed.
For a few minutes he sat without
utteiipg a word, ami then he inquired:
"Aie you willing to go with me a
little nearer her housu.' I wish to
hear her more distinctly, and were
both of us-hi en by any member of the
family I sl'ould not be deemed so im
ptrtlnent ns otherwise I might."
"1 will conduct you Into the room
where she. is."
"Will she not be offended If v. e y;o
there'."
"She is not the kind of a girl that
is so easily offended."
Ten minutes later French had been
formally Introduced to "JItss Stella
Held, "by Mr. Marsh, who said:
"Mr. French heard you singing from
my veranda and desired to hear you
at a less distance, ho I invited htm ov
er here."
"That's it," she rejoined, a flush
suffusing her countenance.
"Now, please to favor us with one
of your best eseleetlons," Mr. Marsh
remarked as he and French seated
themselves.
Without a word of objection she play
ed and 'sang several pieces, for which
her visitors complimented her.
" Do you sing or play, Mr. French?"
she inuuired.
"A little of both." was the reply.
"It will be no more than fair for you
to take my place at the instrument,"
she observed, leaving the piano stool,
"I make no claims to musical ability,
but I will reciprocate your klndnesr, as
well as I can,"
Taking the vacated stool he played
a fantasia so sklllfuly that she ner
vously said: 'I believe you are a pro
fessional." ",
"I assure you Hint T am not," lie re
Joined. "Now you must sing," she said.
In n mellow tenor he sang a selection
from Mendelssohn so pathetically that
tears filled the eyes of his hearers,
four In number, as his unknnwn voice
had drawn her parents into the room.
"You mny 'make no claims to musical
ability but it is yours." Mr. Marsh
tremulously observed, "and having it,
I do 'not undei stand how you came to
be selling"
"Sh!" fell from French's lip, and tho
sentence was not completed.
He rose from the stool and was in
tioduced to Mr. and Mrs. Held.
"How long shall you remain in the
place, Mr. French?" Mr. Reld inqulied.
"I cannot say exactly was the an
swer. "While you are hear I hope that you
will come In to sing and play us often
as you can," fell from Mrs. Reid'a lips.
"You must, Mr. French," the daugh
ter enjoined In an eurncst tone.
"Thank you: T shall be pleased to do
o," he replied.
Soon after lie and hii host left tho
house, nnd on their wny to the bitter's
home he explained how lie chanced to
bo following his present vocation,
causing Mr. Marsh to laughingly ex
tlnlnr "Well, 1 decline'"
After breaHfast the next morning he
said to Mr. Marsh;
"I should like to remain here two or
three weeks' can you conveniently
accommoilute me for that length of
time?"
"As well as not," was the cordial
reply.
"Thanit you very much."
For two yes, nearly six weeks he
was a member of Mr. Marsh's house
hold, during which lime ho dlrcontln
ued his canvassing and puy sod most of
the tlms with "Stella, ' ns ho soon
catne lo address her. while he to her
became "Andrew."

Responding to this treaty, she, said:
"If (hers is anything which 1 have

yours. I think thnt my affection for
you Is pr strong as yours Is for me.
As soon as von tue Independent of
your fnther'M assistance and hnvo
Bomo visible means of support 1 shall
not hesitate lo say yos."
Within thtee months thereafter he
had secured a situation ut a
teacher on a liberal salary. Then, in
her home, at her request, with the
hearty consent of her parents, they
wero quietly married,
After tho ceremony, grasping htm
by the hand, Mr. Marsh said:

MENTAL CONTROL OF SLEEP.
TUo Extreme Folly of Reviewing tho
Day in Bed.
Dody and bruin need exerclso and ro
poso in rhythmic alternation; sleep Is
tho natural restorative of both, snya
the New York Post. Medical doctors,
according to their relative conscien
tiousness, administer n dozen worthless
substitutes for natural sleep from the
stimulant, which they say will nil the
exhausted frame with new vigor nnd
postpone the need for slumber, to the
narcotic used to benumb excited nerves
and Induce a kind of counterfeit ve
po3e. When "that tired feeing" comes
on, Instead of going for a dose of kola,
on nhould go to bed. "Taking some
thing" in the nature of a drug, when
what the brain and body need Is sleep,
is a crime. If the conditions of urban
life make It Impossible for men or wo
men to rest when rest Is called for, and
they feci that they must continue to
work for several hours after being tired
out, those conditions are all wrong and
ought to be changed. The fancied ne
cessity Is one against which men in
stinctively rebel, and they would glad
ly eliminate it from the pioblein ot ex
istence if they could only trust one
another and act unanimously.
Howevor, a greater amount of work
can be accomplished In a given time,
and with less fatigue, when tho hours
given to sleep ure really hours of sleep.
Many persons on retiring, nominally
for the purpose of resting, give them
selves up to a process more wearisome
to the brain than the active work of
the day. Jnstcad of going to bed to
sleep they go to bed to think. Well
meaning moralists taught our parents
that they ought not to close an eye
In slumber before reviewing all the
transactions of the day and setting
them down as the debits or credits In
a Frnnkllnesque sort of mental book
keeping. They must also Impress upon
their wearied minds nt that time facts
they desired to remember texts of
Scripture, demonstrations In Kuclld,
addresses of acquaintances, Latin dec
lensions or French verbs. Particularly
mist they charge tho mind with the
time chosen for waking In the morn
ing. If, after mi hour, lying on his
back In strenuous cerebration of this
sort, your father found that he could
not go to sleep, he might think of In
terminable processions of sheep Jump
ing one by one over a hedge, and count
them as they Jumped: or he might
count his own heart-heats, or the tick
ing of the clock on the stairs. If still
unable to sleep, he might sit up nnd
read for un hour or two, until his eye
lids felt as If lined with sandpaper
nnd his feet were like Ice. Ry this
time the clock would be striking one,
and he would begin to count the hours
till time to get up, nnd then, after de
termining to have the satisfaction of
declaring in the morning that he did
not sleep a wink all night, he prob
ably fell into an uncomfortable, dream
plagued slumber.
Now, that Is not the way to tieep.
Instead of taking cares to bed, one
should dismiss them the moment one
begins to undress. The bed should be
sacred to t'.lec-p, and ordinary waking
thoughts should not be permitted to
invade It for a moment. If the usual
working day proves too short for the
business that has to be considered, let
the gas burn all night for once, and sit
up to work it out; but do not ko to
bed to lie awake thinking. Some per
sons declare that they cannot cease to
think. When the light Is out, and
there are no external objects present
to JIvert the attention, the mind be
gins to act with extraordinary persist
ency nnd refutes to stop. They aro at
Its mercy. The best they can do is
to set It to counting silly lural sheep,
instead of calculating the movements
of bulls and bears on the "street."
Nonsense! Thinking is voluntary.
Tho current of thought can be stopped
by an act of the will as promptly and
almost as mechanically as the water
can be turned oft at the bath room
faucet.
The troubb with us when we say wo
"can't stop thinking" Is really what
we do not want to. Like the self de
luded victim, of bibulous indulgence,
tho man that cannot stop could stop
if ho would. Ho that goej to bed
simply because It Is 10 o'clock, with
out at once and detlnitely dismissing
though!, is an unconscious hypocrite.
He docs not sleep, of course, and this
is vhy it Is better to sit up and work,
so long aw tho impulse (or need) to
wont lnsts, until ono nequlres the
power to suspend thought ns well,
Till? can b cultivated it must be i
the brain Is to do Its duty. Tne man
that cannot slop thinking soon falls
In with the popular Ideu that Insom
nia is a disease, nnd therefore beyond
his control. Disease that magic word
that gives self Indulgent weakness re
spectability and removes It from the
Umbo -if responsible Imperfections!
There Is no limit to the power of an
Intelligent will. Humboldt could live
and ba sit.no and iibeful on nn allow
ance ot two hours' fclcep out of the
ill Fallson once remained awake for
72 hours In order to complete n mental
tusk. Such feats, however, are but
Ilttln harder than that of going to
slc-p at will, which Napoleon, with
Europe on his shoulders, was able to
do. Almost any business man would
pronounce them easier, but sleep, be
ing normal, should be far moro readily
enjoyed than dispensed with.
