SLEEPLESS WONDER
Jersey Inventor Has Been Awake
for 15 Years.
Albert E. Herpln of Trenton, Gets
Rest Only by Sitting In Chair
Seems to Be In Perfect Phy
sical Condition.
Trenton, N J Albert 12. Itorpln,,
Trenton's "sleepless wonder," has
turned Invonfor. Ho says IiIb wakeful
ness has made his fortune. He hns
Invented a process for undcrglazo
photography, by which ho assorts that
he enn reproduce portraits of schools,
churches, etc., on chlnawnro at about
tho same cost as placing a photograph
on paper. The new process docs not
consist of placing photographs on
ware and then varnishing, as It Is
done In some cases, but tho waro hi
fired In enamel kilns, making It prac
tically everlasting
Photographs on chlnawaro bavo
been In use for mnny years, but aro
usually lound to be too expensive,
especially when only ono pleco of
ware Is made. Herpln snys that tho
new piocess will take Its place.
Herpln Is known as a "sleepless
wonder" According to his friends ho
has not slept In 15 years. Hu rests
at night like other mortals, but -ho
says that his brain Is always active
and that he raiely closes his eyos.
Some tlmo ago he was offered $2,000
to demonstrate his claim. Ho was to
remain awako two weeks, being con
stantly wntched dining that porlod
by physicians. Ho accepted tho offer,
but when the date for tho demonstra
tion arrived the physicians failed to
put in an appearance.
Herpln says his affliction began 15
years ago, when his wife died. Ho sur
fored greatly from shock then and
asserts he has never slept slnco. Tren
ton physicians who have watched Her
pln during these years say his story
Is true and declare ho Is suffering
from a strange malady which brings
with It constant sleeplessness. Physi
cally Herpln seems perfect and Is able
to work as hard as the average man.
For a time this "sleepless wonder"
was employed by tho city street clean
ing department, but ho soon got a bet
ter position, and Is now considered
wealthy Herpln troubles only about
one thing; that Is, he says there aro
many women who desire to marry
him. He shows his friends daily tot
ters he receives from members of tho
fair sex proposing marriage.
"Doesn't your affliction affect you
mentally or physically?" a reporter
asked Herpln.
"No. sir,' the Inventor said. "It Is
beneflcinl to me. Why, I can work a
week without even resting, and you
see I have an advantage over most
men. I thought out my inventions by
resting nt night In my big armchair,
and several nights I thought of
nothing else. Usually I try at night
not to let anything worry me, so that
I can get mental rest, but it's useless
Tor mo to attempt to sleep, for, you
see. 1 have attempted to do so mnny
times. Slop Is but a habit and any
ono can do without It. Or course,
rest Is sometimes necessary In order
to keep tho physical man in shape.
but sleep does not necessarily have
to accompnny It."
Herpln is always In good humor,
and when seen coming from his home
in the mornings looks as refreshed as
if bo had had a good night's sleep.
Frog Fasted for Years.
Ashland. Vu. It. II. Gregory of this,
city has demonstrated that the theory!
of n frog living without food or water
Is beyond a doubt tho truth. Gregory
made an experiment after reading a
magazine statement that frogs had'
been known to Uvo hundreds of years
while sealed in a brick wall.
Securing a frog, Gregory placed It
In tho hollow of a treo and sealed it
with cement. Yeais passed and tho
mnn forgot the frog. Gregory was a
mere boy when the creature was shut
out from llbeity.
A few days ago tho tree was broken.
Gregory had his attention called to the
hollow, tho cement breaking with tho
fall of tho tree. Removing tho cement;
tho frog leaped out as live and hearty
as when It had been sealed it up.

Suggestion and Practical Thought.
Philosophers have strlicn to discov
er what faculty most clearly separates
man fiom the brute; as, that man is
the only animal that laughs, or the
only animal that cooks, or tho only an
imal that stands upright. Most think
ers, however, agree that tho power of
speech, with all that has grown out of
It, Is the clearest and most Important
distinction of mankind, and the surest
indication ol tho superiority that God
has conferred upon tho human race.
The passage wo utu to study Is ono of
the finest in tho Bible, and Is the
crown or all writings upon the sub
ject. Vs. I, Uii. Why did James urge his
leaders not to be many masters
(teachers, as in "schoolmnsters") ? I.
Because the young church met that
danger continually (seo Acts 15:21;
1 Cor 1:12; 11:20; Gal. 2:12). In tho
Jewish church the runctlon or the rub
bl was jealously guarded, but tho lib
erty or prophesying (teaching) In
Christianity was liable to become li
cense. And "the more tho Idea pre
vailed that faith, without correspond
ing obedience, was all that Is needful,
tho more men would eagerly press for
ward to touch." Alford. This thought
Joins our present lesson with the last.
To lllustrato perfect speech, to
what does James compare tho tongue?
To a horse's bit or bridle, which,
though small, turns and governs tho
whole body of tho great animal; and,
similarly, to a ship's holm or rudder,
which, though so small In comparison
with tho great ship, and so weak In
comparison with tho florco winds, yot
turns tho ship, in tho face of the
winds, whithersoever tho governor
(It. V. "stoersnuin") llsteth (R. V.
"willeth"). Even so (llko tho bridle
and the rudder) tho tongue Is a llttlo
member, and boasteth groat things,
"vaunts great words, which bring
about great acts of mlschlor." Alford.
What Is tho point of tho compari
son? The power or the tonguo In the
guidance and direction of life our
own lives and those of others. And
"wo aro never to forget that tho
'tonguo' includes tho 'pen.' " Deems.
What is tho uoxt comparison used
by James? "The tongue that world
of of Iniquity Is a flro, sprung rrom
the fires or Gehenna. It is a llttlo fire,
to the eyo; but a llttlo flro can klndlo
a great forest. So the tongue can ruin
the whole body nay, the whole llfo,
in Its revolving course rrom tho cradlo
to tho grave." The tougue is called a
world or Iniquity because "all kinds of
ovll that are In tho world are exhibited
there in mlnlnture." Barnes.
What Is the point or this compari
son? It pictures the destructive power
of the tongue, as the first two compari
sons pictured tho tonguo's guiding
power. Llttlo words, mere puffs of
air, aro Insignificant us small sparks;
but as tho flame .and smoke may
spreud ovorywhore, so the baneful ef
fect of evil speech may penetrato all
lire.
What Is James' 'next comparison of
tho tongue? To an untamed beast; all
other living things have been mastered
by mankind tho four divisions of anl
iiu1b, according to James' rough
zoology, namely, quadrupeds, birds,
reptiles and fishes. But the tonguo is
an exception. .'o man can tamo It;
only God, who made It, can keep it
under control. "It Is an unruly (rest
less) ovll, full of deadly polBon," and
so to bo classed with tho animals most
hated and feared, the serpents.
What Is the point of this compari
son? As the first emphasized the
guiding power of the tongue and the
second its destructive power, so this
comparison emphasizes its unre
strained power.
If tho tonguo cannot bo tamed, are
wo to ultimo for our ungoverned
speech? Yes, as James hlmsoir says
(v. 10), "These things ought not so to
be." "If we bo truly Christ's, though
'reviled' by tho unruly tongues of
others, we shall, llko him, 'rovllo not
again' (I Peter 2:23). And as the
whole body Is tho Lord's to bo sancti
fied to him (I Cor. 0:19, 20), so partic
ularly must tho tonguo bo kept from
'evil-speaking, lying and slandering,'
nnd used rightly for tho sorvlco of
God. Thus may wo truly offer 'tho
calves of our lips' (Hos, 11:2), moro
acceptable than tho blood of victims
slain on a thousand altars " Elllcott.
Why does James drop comparisons
whon ho comes to his last point? Bo
cause there aro no comparisons In na
turo to man's Inconsistency In speech
only contrasts. Thp constancy of
nature was as well known in Jnmcs'
day as In ours. But tho tonguo Is sadly
dlfforent! "Out of tho same mouth
procewloth blessing and cursing!"
What Is tho point of this contrast?
Evil Bpoech has been pictured aa (1)
influential, (2) destructive, (3) uncon
trollable, and now finally as (4) un
natural Men . . . aro mado after tho
similitude of God. "Tho naturo or man
is to adoro God, and to lovo what is
Godlike in man. Evil speech contra
dicts your naturo and your dostlny; to
speak ill or others makes you a mon
stor In God's world; got the habit of
slander, and then there Is not n stroma
which bubbles rrom tho hoart of nature,
thoro Is not a troo that sllontly brings
forth its genial fruit In Its appointed
season, which does not rebuke.

For instance, in my native Pendleton
some of the mothers used to cut the
children's hair. They did It with
shears and a bowl. The operation
was often painful, and the result was
never elegant.
"In Sunday school a Pendleton
teacher once told her pupils tho trag

she turned to a little boy.
" 'What do you learn, .loe, sho said,
