TO HEAD OFF WAKEFULNESS.
Hers Is a Method Which la Said to B
, Infallible for Securing Sleep.
The good old care for , sleeplessness
. holds good through all changea. an easy
conscience and a healthy body. A "due
portion of fatigue and quiet surround
ings may bo added as also necessary to
induce refreshing sleep, and sleep which
is not refreshing is abont as unsatisfac
tory as wakefulness. Nevertheless, to
people of a nervons temperainent some
trictly material rules for courting the
"almy god with success are not to be
despised , Many little things conduce to
sleeplessness, the avoidance of which
will remove that trouble. :
Indigestion, cold feet, overfatigue, tea
and coffee taken in excess, excitement
generally, all tend to a restlessness of
the brain, which, prevents calm sleep.
Many devices are resorted to to expel
auch nervousness. The old suggestion,
made in ridicule originally, to read some
very dry book or to have some one talk
you to sleep is really excellent in prac
tice. The dull monotony of a prosy book,
and even more the dull -monotone of a
prosy talker, usually produces just the
dull impressions on the brain which are
required to induce sleep. A monotonous
tram of thought often serves.
An eminent student of brain disorders
prescribed the constant dripping of water
on a metal pan. The regular tickine of
-a clock frequently sends sleepless per-'
, sons into the desired state of brain lnac-
' tion, though in fact alt these processes
may erve to drive a very nervous ' per
son into a wild hysteria of wakefulness.
But an old and tnest curiously recom
mended physical process comes to us in
ld books.
It was announced many years ago as a
great discovery in England by a Air.
Gardner, and most commendatory testi
monials as to its effectiveness were given
, by the late Prince Albert, Sir Fowell
Buxton, Sheridan Knowles and other
'eminent persons. It was considered so
-valuable that a large sum had to be paid
lor it ror publication by Air. Binns in
his quaint book, now almost unknown,
entitled "The Anatomy of Sleep."
The prescription as therein printed is
as follows: The person who after going
to oea anas mmseli sleepless is to be on
his right side, with his head comfortably
placed on the pillow, having his neck
straight so that respiration may be un
impeded. Let him then close his lips
Biignuy ana take a rather full inspira
tion, breathing through the nostrils un
less breathing through the mouth is
habitual. Having taken the full inspira
tion, the lungs are to be left to 1;heir
own action; that is. expiration is -not to
be interfered with. Attention must now
. be fixed upon the respiration.
The person must imagine that he sees
the breath passing from his nostrils in a
continuous stream, and at the instant
that he brings his mind to concei ve this,
aiart from all other ideas, consciousness
leaves him and he falls- asleep. Some
times it happens that the method does
not at once succeed. It should then be
persevered in. Let the person take
thirty or forty full inspirations and pro
ceed as before: but he must bymo means
attempt to count the respirations, for if
he does the mere counting will keep him
from sleep.
It is certainly to be said of this plan
that it is safe and can easily be tested.
The other prescriptions, such as a good
conscience and a well earned fatigue,
need not be set aside on account of it.
New Vork Tribune.
A noont of Sleop Rired..
Sleep is the principal agent in body re
cuperation. The amount needed is dif
ferent for different persons. For the or
dinary worker from six to ight hours is
necessary; yet how often, in the battle
for existence, is the desire for sleep forci
bly suppressed and the night'B rest fool
ishly shortened. Sooner or later insom
nia wreaks its vengeance on the phy
siological sinner. Many a person who
once robbed himself of the necessary
-amount of sleep would now gladly sleep,
but cannot.
Many nerve troubles first develop into
disease when joined with sleeplessness.
It appears as a symptom of a iong stand
ing uervons disturbance, but to many it
appears as the first 6igns of disorders,
when it is only n result of causes in oper
ation long before. Herald of Health.
Storlts' Nests.
Sparrows and wrens not unfrequently
build in the stork's huge pile of -sticks, a
nest within a nest, which we rarely see
in England. In Holland and Denmark a
common mode of inducing storks to take
tip their abode is to fasten a cart wheel
on the top of a tall pole erected in some
field. At the village of Luitsedam,' near
the Hague, there is one of these, which
is regularly tenanted. , ...
. Closer to the town, in the plantations
around the house of one of the gentry,
there is an enormous uest. It is placed
at the top of a large silver fir, the lead
ing shoot of which has been broken by
the wind. At Wassenaar, a village some
miles off, where immense quantities of
bulbs are grown, a pair yearly rear their
young ones on the church tower. Cham

Little five-year-old Arthur haO been I
sent into the country to stay three !
months at his grandpa's. It was bitter f
March weather, too cold even for the '
lad to see out of "doors, for the windows
were coated with thick -white frost.
"Can I go outdoors today, grandma?"
bravely asked the lad, as he came down
stairs the second morning after his ar
rival. "No, of course not Sou must
stay right here by the fire, where it is
warm."
The boy sighed and began playing
with the cat. "Arthur," commanded
one of the three maiden aunts, "get up,
quick; you will soil your stockings.'"
The young nephew obeyed without pro
test. But it was rather lonesome, and
pretty soon he tried the organ.
"Arthur," commanded aunt No. 3,
'stop that noise immediately. Your
grandpa wants to read." Again the
youthful visitor obeyed. This time he
went to the window and began scratch
ing the frost off with a pin so that he
could see out. . " Arthur," instructed
aunt No. 8, "'stop that! Come away
from the window," :
Arthur stepped back from the window,
put his hands in bis pockets, looked first
at the spectacled grandparents, then at
at the three aunts poised about the room
like statues on a pedestal, and said, "If i
didn't have to live here I'd be glaM."

His Fortune.
Wealth and poverty ' are ' relative
terms, as almost every one must have
learned by his own experience. Many a
man who now thinks twenty dollars a
week pretty small wages can remember
the time -when he felt rich with half that
sum.
A citizen of Westerly, R. L, says the
historian of the town, enlisted as a pri
vateer during one of the early wars of
the country It was perilous business,
bat patriotic feelings and visions of gold
carried the day with him.
His cruise was long and eventful, but
at last he returned home and received an
appropriate welcome. As soon as the
first greetings were over, his mother in
quired: "Well, Harry, how' have you .made
out? Did yon get much money?"
"Oh, yes, mother; good luck, i am
rich. I shall have enough, with pru
dence in the care of it. to carry me
through life, I hope."
"1 am glad, my son; but how ranch
did you get?"
."Well, 1 don't know exactly, but 1
think when we settle np 1 shall have as
much as thirty dollars. "
Sttemed Like Amos.
Silas Rodes was a strong, hard Work
ing farmer; his brother Amos was a con
firmed invalid who, three or four times
a year, had "spells" of expecting to die,
but. nevertheless, always managed to
live. Still, he was really ill, and many
thought him to be in considerable danger.
But, while Amos was sick and expect
ing to die, it chanced that the strong
Silas did actually die very suddenly. A
messenger carried the 6ad news to his
sister Elvira, a grim spinster, -who lived
in a distant part of the town.
She heard the message with some in
credulity. ,
''Taint Silas ye mean; it's Amos." she
said in reply.
"Why, no," answered the -messenger.
"I mean Silas. Amos is all Tight. It's
Silas that is dead."
" Wal, p'r'aps it's so," was the reluctant
rejoinder, "but 1 wouldn't ha b'leeved
it o' Silas; 't seems a good deal more like

Water Is Cheap.
In the old days when water was car
ried around on carts the price per barrel
was nine cents. . That price did not seem
exorbitant: was thought cheap. Now
the cost to the consumer is about one
third of a cent per barrel thirty barrels
for ten cents. And at that rate the city
makes large profits Out of these profits
is paid the cost of pipe extensions and
renewals and of various other matters,
and still there remains untouched reve
nue amounting to nearly $600,000. The
rate of profit will rapidly increase in the
future, inasmuch as a great deal of
pipipg has been done in advance of pop
ulation. Vacant spaces will henceforth
be filled in' with improvements and peo
ple rather than new spaces acquired.
Extensions of the water service in many
directions and o extreme distances are
therefore nearly complete and perma
nent. Chicago Herald.
Wby Oysters Have to Be Cultivated.
The . oyster,' though a very prolific
shellfish and widely distributed, has so
many enemies and is so helpless to de
fend itself when young and tender, that
its chance of escaping extinction rests
almost wholly upon its cultivation and
care by artificial methods. This fact
has come to be so generally recognized
fn recent times that all nations on whose
shores this delicious bivalve grows have
legislated on its behalf and made many
experiments for increasing its numbers.
In spite, however, of all that has been
done, for it, there is etill a curious di
versity of opinion ' as to its nature and
hapits. Whether if . is hermaphroditic
or bisexual has been warmly discussed,
each contention having earnest adher
ents. Joel Benton in Drake's Magazine.

Bad Blood.
Impure or vitiated blood Is nine
times out of ten caused by some
form of constipation or indiges
tion that clogs up the system,
when . the blood naturally be

attempt to reach this condition
S by attacking the blood with the
drastic mineral ' potash." - The potash theory is
old and obsolete. Joy's Vegetable Sarsuparilla is
moderu. It goes to the scut .of the trouble. It
arouses the liver, kidneys and bowels to health
ful action, and invigorates the circulation, and
the. impurities are quickly carried off through
the natural channels.
Try it and noto its delightful
action. Cbas. 1-ec, at Bcamish's

writes: "I took it for vitiated
blood and while on the first bot
