The need of sleep is an imperative one, and, in many cas ,s, is almostii'i‘esistible. Instances are on recon] of soldiers sleeping on horse- back, or even in the midst of a battle, and many a sentry has been sentenced to death for sleeping at his post, and who was in no way to blame for his neglect of duty. but was simply overcome by a, demand of Nature which he was unable to resist, even at luhc peril of his life.

During the severe winter of 1784, King Louis XVI. of France ordered his finance minister to use the pubhc moneys to allevi- ate the condition of the poor of Paris : and in return the Parisiuns raised to the King a fine statue of snow in one of the most public, places of the (city.

It is easily understood why this should be so wnen \ve conside1 some of the sources of the advant'tges to be derived from the system. These are classi- fied as follows: 1.

Thoughtful observers of the perpetual and disastrous struggles between capital and labour must often have wondered why a proximate solution of the whole problem has not long since been found in the principle of profit-sharing. The wonder still grows, for this system, in some of the many forms 11 which it has been and is now being suc- cessfully applied, must have in it the essen- tial qualities of the remedy so sadly needed. Carried to its logical results the principle of profit-sharing should develop such potency for the correction of whatever is unjust in the ordinary distribution of the fruits of in- dustry as would make it a veritable panacea for all troubles arising on this score between employers and employed. A Parliamentary return which has been recently published in England gives much interesting information with regard to the extent to which profit-shar- in g has already beenicarried in different coun- tries. The chief forms in which the system is adopted may be briefly characterized as the 3 bonus, the provident fund, the joint ownership system and the cash payment out of net profits. The bonus system, which consists simply of the distribution of a yearly gift or thankâ€"offering to the work- ers, is fitly described as the “ Chrysalis stage of profit-sharing,” and we shall not: probably be far astray if we regard the I order in which other methods are named above as indicating successive stages of its development. The cash payment system, under which a percentage of the profits is added to wages, is said to be probably the most popular among working men. A good 1 many firms combine different systems.

Snow Slaiuos. During the last forty years of his life Mr. Barnum was a strong advocate of temper- ance and delivered several lectures on the subject. It is well Known that Barnum empluyed Dr. Doreinus some years ago to bleach an elephant, and that the experiments were carried on until it was evident that “ur- num’s artificial white elephant would cer» tainly be a. (lead elephant. As a public- spirited citizen Barnum had always been a great favorite in New York and in Bridge- port. He was twice married and had tw married daughters and a number of grand- children. The showman’s instinct is inborn in him. It is said that when he was last married his wedding trip consisted of a trip around the hippodrome with his new wife in one of his gorgeous chariots. There was (in immense audience present and Barnum 1d not resist the temptation to mingle iness with pleasure. Probably the same ~pirit induced him to invite King Kalakaua (:2 the Sinidx'ieh islands to ride around the ing and show himself to the audience. The king seemed to find nothing improper in the invitation and was tremendously applauded. Such colossal audacity as Mr. Barnum (lis- played on this occasion stamped him as no ordinary man. He took another trip to Europe with Tom Thumb and lectured all over Engand upon the art of money-11111ki11g and 111011ey-losing. During the years after the collapse of his Jennie Lind fortune, Barnum was a great sufferer by fire. The old American museum 1 at Broadway and Ann street was burned 1dov 11 in July, 1865, and the new museum up town met with the same fate 111 M 111011, 1868. Twice his own country house in Bxidgeport was bumed to 1he ground. The history of the shows with which }1'11num has been since connected, and through 11 hieh 111 the last ten years he has mmle more than a. million dollars, is almost 11. matter of history. He has certainly made 11 million dollars '11‘ more by “ the greatest moral shov. oneart 1. ” For many years he hved in a handy-rune house on Fifth avenue, in New York, above the door-pull of which are the three letters, P. T. 33,, which the initiated understand to he Phineas Taylor T3111 num, and the rest of the \1701111‘1111'1111521110 “ Pull the Bel l. ” \Viihin the 111st few ye ears his peeulal genius f01 dis~ covering just what the public would go wild 0\ er led him to import lumho, to secule bu‘ny elephants, 11.1111 to get hold of the only genuinesaeied while elephant ever expm ted fiom Simn.\Vh11t Barnum really p1 for this beast and whether he was whitm _ 10d or not will probably not be known. Having made, half a million dollars, Bar- nu‘n built himself '21 beautiful house in Bridgeport and became :1 partner in the Jeiome Clock company. 'ihc company wanted SHO 000. ostensibly to cxteml its business but its afl‘nils were so managed that with. 111 your poor Barnum, who was never much 0r :1 business man in the ordi- nary sense of the teim. found himself 1e- soonsible for 1211f 21 millions (lollmws’ worth of the company’s bad debts. His whole fortune was wiped out at a blow, leaving him in debt for more than $30,000. This was in 1856. With characteristic energy Ba. num undertook the personal direction of the old American museum again, and hav- ing sold the ground lease to Bennett for newly S200, 000, he built another museum up town and by endless ingenious devices for attracting public attention made money steadily. The most famous enterprise to Barnnm's name is connected was the visit of Jenny Lind to this country. Barnum had heard of the famous singer while travelling in Europe with Tom Thumb and engaged her for seventyfive concerts a: $1,000 :1 concert and a certain share of the profits. He was re- quired to dcposib $182,000 in advance in the hands of Jenny Lind’s London bankers. Jennv Lind am 'ed in this country Sept. 11*“0. Her firs t concert was at Castle Gm- «en Sept). 11. She gave ninetyeight cm flirts in all, the total receipts being $712,181. ChmlesS Stratton was then‘.’ feet high and weighed less than sixteen pounds. B num engaged him for four weeks at week, and he first appeared at the museum under the name of Gen. Tom Thumb on Thanksgiving day, 1842. Tom Thumb re- mained with Barnum many years. A circus man named Aaron T1 mer, whom he had met in his travels with the old wo- man, offered him $30 a. month and one-fifth of the profits to act as ticket-seller, secre- tary, and treasurer. The next five years were passed in this business. in 1841 he opened asaloon 111 New York and (lining his spare time paddled illustrated bihlcs. He also wrote advertisements 101* the Low- ery museum, receiving $4 a 11 eek as salary, and articles for the Sunday papers. \Yhat he saw of the Bowery museum led him to believe that the American museum, an old curiosity shop at Broadway and Ann street. now the site of the Herald building, could Le made to 11: y if managed 1n a more encr- getic manner. He got the museum on credit. It was in the museum that he first showed the famous woolly horse, which afterward turned out to be an unfortunate donkey to which the wool had been made to stick. \Vithin two years Barnum was mak- ing a fortune at the museum. It as in November, 184-2, that he first heard of a 1e- markahly small child at. Bridgeport. Conn. Barnum's first business venture upon his own behalf was 2L retail fruit and confection- ery store which he opened in February, lSQS, in Bethcl. He was also the agentfor sever- al lotteries, which afterwards proved so pro- fitable that he neglected his shop to go round the country establishing lottery agencies in Stamford, New Haven, Bridgeport, Middle- ton, and Daubury. It was at this time that he issued the first number of his own pix-per, a weekly called the Herald of lv‘rrmlmn. With the energy of a. young man hegot into a number of libel suits, and after passing sixty days in jail as the result of one of them he sold out his paper in November, 1834, and moved to New York, He had expooted to go into business as a grocer, but finding no opening and hearing of a wonderful 03d woman in Philadelphia named .loice Hath, who was said to be 160 years old, and who had been the nurse of George \Vashington, he engaged her to give exhibitions, and took her through New York, Boston, and other places, the old lady finally dying of fatigue ‘ in February, 1835. Barnum at last found‘ his profession. i Phineas Taylor Barnum was born in the town of Bethel, Comm, July 5, 1810. His father, Philo Barnum, was a captain in the revolutionary war. When 6 years old Phin- eas began to go to school, and when I5years old he went; to work at a little town called Grassy Plain, a. mile from Bebhel, as boy in a. country store. He soon gained the good will of his employers. Sketch of Barnum's Life.
