Commissioner Douglass’ Reasons for Refus- ing = Grocer’s Request to Keep Open. Some days ago the Commissioners received an application from a retail grocer requesting permission to keep his store open on Sundays, as hie stock was perishable. and to close his store on that day would cause him great lose. Lieut. Kelly, to whom the matter was re- ferred, states in his indorsement ou the papers that there is no law to keep the store closed on Sunday and recommends that he be allowed to keep open as requested. Commissioner Doug- lass, however, wrote the following on the sub- Ject: The letter asking permission to keep a gro- cery store open on Sunday for the sale of “‘per- ishable” articles, such as ‘‘meata,” &c., was duly received and referred to the police de- Partment. It has been returned with a favor- recommendation by Lieut. Kelly. The lieutenant says that there is nolaw to prevent him doing so. I am not so sure there is no law to prevent thie. In the first place, the we seems to forbid it. In the second place, by arly and late common law decisions in England Christianity hhas been held to be @ part of the common law of that country. And, in the third place, the supreme courts of this country have always held from the first that when the first settlers from the mother country came to America they brought the “common law” with them as a vital part of their birthright of principles of govern- ment and social order. It will not be disputed that the decalogue is a prominent plank in the Christian platform. I have often thought that an indictment might be framed under this idea. If not it certainly has force enough in my mind to induce a refusal of such a request and leave the party to stand on hie rights in the matter asthe courts may determine. For these rea- sons, with others not now mentioned, but gen- erally understood or adopted, I. must vote to refuse the request. Berides, all the articles called perishable can be preserved by the use of an ice box. ee SPECIAL SANITARY DUTY. An Order as to the Inspectors of the Health Department. In view of the large number of persons ex- pected here next mouth at the G. A. R. en- campment Health Officer Hammett deems it advisable to take time by the forelock and give directions to the employes of his department concerning their work during the days of the encampment. In that connection Dr. Ham- mett today issued an order placing all the in- spectors on special sanitary duty. The order is a8 follows: “During the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will take place on or about the 20th proximo, the services of the in- spectors of this department will be in constant demand. You are therefore instructed that you will be required to be on duty early and late while the —encamp- ment lasts to look after the sanitary condition of the District. The large assem- Diage of citizens and their families on thi occasion will tax this department to its utmost to protect the city, in a sanitary point of view from nuisances naturally, engen- jered in the collection of such a large body of people as that expected to be here at that time. “Each inspector will be assigned to different portions of the city, and it will be his duty to sce that nonuisance under the health ordinances is created and continued to oxist. “In the performance of this duty firmness, in connection with forbearance and politeness, must be observed. “Any infraction or violation of the laws and ordinances should be immediately reported to the health officer for advice and action. “In the performance of your dutios at this time be courteous and gentiemunly, looking to the health of the residents as well as the visit- ore. “You will at once go over your district, make thorough inspection of all premises and see that they are in a cleanly and sanitary con- dition, prior to the arrival of the large number of visitors expected here in September.” Dr. Hammett will also direct letters to the garbage and odorless excavating contractors in order to call their attention to the necessity of prompt performance of their duty during the time that the visitors are here. a Roquefort and Its Cheese. From Temple Bar. Cheese, which has been the fortune of Roque- fort, has destroyed its picturesqnonoss. It has brought speculators thero who have raised great, ugly, square buildings of dazzling white- ness in barsh contrast with the character and somber tone of the old houses. Although the place is so small that it consists of only one street and a few alleys, the more ancient dwel- lings are remarkable for their height. It is surprising to see in a village lost among the rile houses three stories higa. ‘The fact that there is only a ledge. on which to build must be the explanation.

He bad never a word to say to us, but every time we looked at him we could see that he was watching onr every movement and ho had his foot on the rifle which lay by the hearth. George and I of course had revolvers, and after a whispered consultation we decided that the only thing to do was to go_ to bed with these weapons held in our hands under the bed clothes, cocked and ready for use,and we agreed that atthe first sign of an attack we would shoot. “It was about 10 o'clock when we lay down.

The dull light of the fire threw a ghastly glare on his brntal face. Whether or not it was my imagination I do not know, but his eyes looked ashining red.

I would have given all that I possessed or all that Lever expected to posrcss had I been out of there. I was paralyzed.

The old proverbs about sleep are all misleading, cept, indeed, that which says that ‘a woman who has a young child should get all the aleep that she can.” Iam told that different people need different amounts of sleep. Perhaps they do. On the other hand, I know that the aver- age night of the world is about cleven twenty- fourths of the average day. For myself, I long since settled down on ten hours’ sleep in the twenty-four as good for me; and in this, as in all things, I get the best.

Perbaj he did; what is certain is that he died at the age of fifty-two, and that his constitution was broken at least five years before that time. If you lose sleep in any twenty-four hours, make it up as soon as you can. IL. About food, you will find out soon what you digest and what you do not. The less vou | think of It the better. Take time enough for your meals, and cat them incompany whenever |¥oucan. ‘There is no need for hurry in life— least of all when we are eating. I think the modern fad of doctors, of meals often and light, isa good one. I like a cup of coffee (mostly milk) an hour before breakfast. Llike to breakfast abont 7:30. I like a cup of coffee (mostly milk) at 11; lunch or dinner at 1 | or 2; supper or dinner (the name is of little consequence), say, at 7. If the supper bas been light, or what people call tea, a bowl of soup before going to bed is a good thing. If you mean to sleep you should not drink ten oF coffee after 2 inthe afternoon ner go into any hard brainwork after 3 or 4. Most people say they want to sleep, but also want to do everything else conceivable up to the moment | of taking off their clothes. But this is absurd. III. The open air and enough of it every day, rain or shine. This is another necessity for sleep and for digestion, and for any brain- work which shall be good for anything. Ihave never made any rules for exercise, however, excepting this general demand for the open air. Aman in health ought to be able to walk six miles a day without feeling tired. But I fancy that it is racher a matter of time in the air than of physical exercise, Thus ten miles in an open horse car or a wagon seems to answer ‘as well as six miles on foot. For body or mind I do not believe in getting tired for the sake of resting, as the negro boy stubbed his toe because it felt eo good when the pain ceased. Of course a man had to get tired sometimes in the Iine of his duty. But | work of a tired brain is useless, and {t isa pity | to overstrain a tired body if you can help it. You should never sit down to the table to cat when you come in from work dead tired. Lie down for ten m p of or even of wine. That is what wine is for an the only thing it is for. But before you eat wait till the machine is a little rested or re- freshed. IV. So much for the physical machine. Of mental operations we know less of the methods. But we do know some results, For literary men the same rule is laid down by Walter Scott and by Bulwer Lytton both as to daily maximum of real work. They were | very different men, yet each of them says that | three hours’ work is all that is good for any- thing. An Englich commission of high author- | ity eays that a child’s capacity for learning is at an end after three hours, I believe this is quite | true. That is one reason for saying that you need not hurry about anything. While you work stick steadily to what you e in hand, if you can. Nothing is more fatiguing than'a change of subjects. It is hor- rible to have to write twenty letters on twenty subjects at one sitting. Yet this is what modern barbarism, with its invention of the post, demands of us. As above, never work the brain when it is tired, if you mean to do good work. As above again, never work the brain on | intricate work after 3 in the afternoon, if you mean to sleep. out, in a vigorous life, somewhat thus: You rise and bathe and dress so as to be at your work, with your cup of coffee, about 6:30 ‘or a little’ later.

There were a number of spectators in the building, a long, low structure, in which the carnivora are kept, but all were too greatly overcome by fear to render aid. Indeed, they could only get to the struggling man by re- moving the box of snakes at the entrance to the den. By this time the hyenas, tigers and leopards were in a state of frenzy. They bounded up and down in their cages with fiendish yells. 7 tore at the iron bars and beat the walls with awful fury. The lions, all but one, roared un- til the building shook, and frightened visitors fled panic stricken. : ‘The one lion that remained silent was Laura, a beast that has always shown almost hu- man-like devotion to Mr. Si ns, She left her cubs in the rear, and, star on ber hind feet, her paws against the railing, gazed fixedly at her friend, utterly heedless of the yelling devils about her. The uproar brought the attendants of the garden to the scene. They were horror stricken at the sight. By this time the python had worked its folds up to Mr. Stephens’ groin. ‘The constriction was terrible. + Circulation had been stopped in the lower limbs and they were numb and trembling. The | perspiration ran in streams from the straggling man's face. His hands were so moist that the scaly thing twisted in them as easily as if loose. Suddenly the serpent seemed to feel ite,vic- tory near. It twisted its horrid head and thrust its fiery tongue into Mr. Stephens’ face. At the same inoment one of Mr. Stephens’ hands be- came loosened, and the enake, with the speed of lightning, seized and began «wallowing it The victim was so nearly overcome that for 8 moment he stood tottering and the hand had been swallowed without in effort to remove it. | The entire hand up to the wrist had red when Stephens sought to withdraw it.
