WHY GO TO BED?
Why he a slave to senseless convention ? If you want to sleep well and wisely do not go to hed. This is the latest dictum. The hed has been condemned hy medical authority. It is the very ;radle of insomania, an unhygenic invention, and as Mark Twain has already reminded us, it is the unsafest place in the world, since more people die there than anywhere else.
The hammock is suggested as a substitute. Bed chambers are, or should he, rest chambers, and when people are weary or sleepy the surest way to get perfect rest is to fling themselves into a hammock, or if that doesn't suit to He down upon a couch which is not elaborately made up as a bed.
It is the preparations for sleep, the conventional bed clothes, and all that sort of thing that have fallen under medical condemnation. Some suggest that a mat is the best thing to sleep on, while others pin their faith upon the Esquimau plan of placing oneself in a bag.—New York "Sun."
