A Long List of Simpic Remedies for Sleeplewness, 4 HOT SHOWER BATH EFFECTIVE—THE sovND OF DIPPING WATER AS A NERVE QUIETER—HOW AN RDITOR FOUND RELIEF—A STUDENT'S PLAN—OTHER DISCOVERIES. From Good Housekeeping. It wili be interesting to collect the many reme- dies that have been suggested for sleeplessness. Annot shower bath at bedtime cleanses the skin and predisposes to sieep, itis claimed. The “one ‘sure and safe way” ts to take a brisk walk of amile or two before going to bed, and then, after the walk, holding the head under a stream of cold Water. ‘This, however, should be done when the habit of sleeplessness first begins, A business — pote ‘@ mechanical turn of eae should fx up his attle asa carpenter's shop, spend an Par therein after supper.

One sufferer has paillated the distress of his vigils by leaving his lighting a fire, and sitting in a chimney coruer, Pea and eal ‘by turns until the de- mon intimated a destre to depart. A physician writes that the evening should be a period of relaxation and recreation, relief from care and anxiety vo be found in cheerful conversa- Uoa, pleasant games and light reading, while per- sons of sedentary occupation are to Luke plenty of open alr exercise.
