Bat what theae doting travelers observe thet this apparently uncontrollable deaira t slumber weights the lids of natives a well as their own, the rambler at tribute their somnolence to some un known soporific quality in the prevail ing hue. That, aaya a writer in a New York exchange, is about as tar so they tver penetrate the phenomena. U j turneying on horseback or in wagon ricT are soon snoring, while if they k : traveling on Shanks' mare they 0 jp along the roadside and tall test t.l .-op. No matter how wide awake i.vy may be, they are powerless to ra-t'.-t the drowsiness when they eater cither of theae counties. The same thing. preTails in that part of the D. A U. railroad which ante through Schoharie and Otsego sonnr lics. Conductor Jim Thomas, sad all i:ie train hands for that matter, haw to use drugs to keep front faille saleep while they are in thiaturpaareiit eg-ion. All the paasengera aleep like t-ormioe. There they sit, pips ia ioath. at card tables and paper la Land, aa if suddenly struck dead. But their snores proclaim that they are only benumbed by sleep. One might think that then slmaber tng passengers would be "soft marks' for a train robber, but ex-Assemblyman 0. F. Lane, of Otsego, tells a story which proves exactly the reverse, A thief did clean out the pockets at some twenty passengers. But when, after planing outside the counties, the pes xengers came to, they found the lock leu thief, loaded with booty, stretched snoring in a corner. Be had got with in a step of the door when the sleep jrer hit him and he fell snoring in his trunks. With all the trouble Conductor Thomas has prodding slumbering way Ittssengera into partial wakefnlnesa, iiis friends wonder that every hair ia his head hasn't turned white. Still, St liiis season these counties are aa Acedia to which flock many persona sufiering with insomnia. It cures, but the cure is even worse than the disease. At least that is what V. H. llunn, appraiser of the port of ilswego, thinks. Hard work aggra vated by too many warm bottles and cold birds, left Mr. Bonn a martyr to insomnia. Urged by friends, he sought 1 ..-lief in Cobleskill, Schoharie county, liven before he got settled there he be come dead to all surroundings. Ka use, not even himarrf, Knows how long he slept. Some say forty-nine hour right off the reel Anyway, after a week of it he went home cured. But he became such a sleepyhead that he is said to be seeking something tuns will bring on a mild form of insomnia. Ex-Congressman Pender tells a story of a stump speaker in Schenevus, Ot sego Bounty, who fell dead asleep right in the middle of hia oration. lie was struck with one hand aloft lilts a pump handle. In that preposterous attitude and still snoozing be was carried to the nearest tavern. The pnlltiml cam paign was om before he became arid awaka. Every one, scientific or otherwise, ' who has investigated the matter agrees that the drowsiness which becomes epidemic in this region every fall ia Caused by the intoxicating aroma from the hop fields, which, with the almost impalpable yellow dust blown from the hops, gluts the atmosphere. Bop pil lows hwe long been recognized as a sovereign cure for sleeplessness. Yet if the stuffing of a million hop bolsters were scattered to the winds they could not as richly impregnate the air os do the living vines themselves. vea in a gentle breeze the drowsy pungency U the hope can be scented fifty aiilas from the nearest hop field. Ho tuar is no call to wonder why strangers l'ws themselves in sleep ss soon as they enter the hop producing eouataas of this state. ' IN THE MOUNTAINS OP KRaMCA, ass Pills in, Charles H.

Every mat has a name and history, and though the outsider could not easily distinguish one from another, yet the elderly people recognise them at first sight, snd relate bits of history about each, aa it is exposed to view.
