| | | | | | | + 2 METHOD OF INDUCING SLEEP Self-Suggestion Plays a Great Part Worry Is the Main Thing to Be Avoided. The next point to bear in mind is that self-suggestion plays a great part in the production of sleep, writes Dr. 8. MoComb in Harper's Bazar. Ord+ narily we do not sleep by accident or haphazard. We resolve to sleep. We go through a variety of actions all suggestive of a change from our nor mal waking condition. We undress, we place ourselves in a comfortable Position, we close our eyes. We be Meve and expect that we are going to sleep, and the result is—sleep. One of the great preventatives of sleep is the fear of not sleeping. Once this fear is broken down, we sleep. The tmsomniac worries about his insomnia, and this very worry deepens the mis chief. Hence the sufferer should sug- gest to himself again and again: “If I sleep, well; if I don’t sleep I will at least gain rest by keeping my mind ealm and my body relaxed.” In a word, our chances of getting sleep in- trease if we assume the external physical attitude which corresponds to sleep, if we relax every muscle and let it stay relaxed, if we breathe light- ly and regularly, if we call up the imaginations of a sleeping person, and talk and think sleep to ourselves, re- peating silently and in a quiet dreamy fashion such a formula as_ this: “There is no reason why I should not sleep. My mind is at peace. Sleep is eoming. I am getéing sleepy. I am about to sleep. I am asleep.” Too Tough a Morsel. “Tenderfoots” are not necessarily fools, as the guide of whom a writer fm the New York Herald tells discov- ered. He was recounting some of his eatly experiences with the brethren of the wild, for the benefit of his epen-mouthed audience of easterners. “Yes, sir,” he said, “ it was my first grizzly, and I don’t deny I was proud of having killed him in a hand-to-hand struggle. We began fighting about sunrise, and when he finally rolled over, done for, the sun was going down.” He paused. No one said anything, and so he added slowly, “for the sec- ond time.” “Do you mean that it took you two days to kill a grizzly?” asked the Eng- ish tourist. “Two whole days and one night,” replied the guide. “He died mighty bard.” “Choked to death?” asked the tour- fst. “Yes, sir,” the guide said, calmly. “Well, well! What did you try to get him to swallow?” USES WINGS TO CATCH FISH Sly Old Bird Is the Cassowary, Ao- cording to Observations Made by Naturalist. Habits of the cormorant and of our native fish hawk are generally known. Their methods of taking fish are very much like those of birds of prey. But the cassowary fishes aceording to a method of its own. A well-known nat- uralist witnessed its operations on a river in the island of New Britain. He saw a cassowary come down to the water’s edge and stand for some minutes apparently watching the wa- ter carefully. It then stepped into the river where it was about three feet deep, and partially squatting down, spread its wings out, submerging them, the feathers being spread and ruffied. The bird remained motionless, and kept its eyes closed as if in sleep. It remained in this position for a quar- ter of an hour, when suddenly closing its wings and straightening its feath- ers it stepped out on the bank. Here is shook itself several times, where- upon a quantity of small fishes fell out of its wings and from amid its feathers. These the bird immediately picked up and swallowed. The fishes had evidently mistaken the feathers for a kind of weed that grows in the water along the banks of the rivers in this island and which resembles the feathers of the casso- wary. The smaller fishes hide in these weeds to avoid the larger ones that prey on them. Scales for Dyspeptics. “When I got my last prescription made up the druggist showed me a pair of pocket scales for weighing food,” said the sallow complexioned man. “He said he could.tell by the medicine I was taking that I would have to be mighty careful about the quantity of food I ate, and he urged me to buy the scales so I could be sure not to overeat. They were the first scales designed especially for dyspeptics I had seen. They cost two dollars. No doubt they could be used for weighing other things, Gruggist offered them only to cus j al development but that | MORE INQUIRIES FOR STATE LANDS Much Demand for Information Comes From Those Interested in Minnesota, During the few weeks that have elapsed since Gov. Eberhart issued his proclamation calling the first Min- nesota conservation and agricultur- congress, which meets in the St. Paul auditorium to- day, the Northern Pacific railway com pany has received more requests for information relative to Minnesota lands than for the preceding five years, according to L. J. Bricker gen- eral immigration agent of the North- er Pacific. So great has been this demand for information from those who are be- ‘coming imterested in Minnesota be- cause of the coming sessions of the congress that the Northern Pacific supplies have become exhausted and pending the receipt of more matter, the railway has béen compelled to call upon the state immigration bureau. George Welch, state commissioner of immigration, is no better off than the railway, however, for an extra- ordinary number of inquiries and re- requests for information have come in his office. Other railroads in the state are having experiences similar to those of the Northern Pacific. In sending a check for $500 to E. S. Warner, treasurer of the conser vation congress, the Chicago & North western railway company,. through its president, Marvin. Hughitt, brought the total of the conservation fund raised by the railways to $2,750. The contribution was ac- knowledged by the personal good wishes of Mr. Hughitt. The railroads have shown _ their good will toward the conservation congress in a contribution of $500 from the Soo line, $500 from the Great Northern, $500 from the North- ern. Pacific $500 from the Chicago & Northwestern, $250 from the Du- luth & Iron Range, $250 from the Duluth, Missabe & Northern and $250 from the Minnesota & Interna- tional, in addition to which each railroad is spending a large amount of money in advertising and in spe- cial printed matter devoted to the conservation congress.

Mary Frith, better known as Moll Cutpurse, was a notable figure in old time London life. She had the repu- tation of being the first woman to smoke tobacco in England. The length of her days is a disputed point, but it seems certain that she attained the age of over threescore years and ten. It is asserted that con- stant smoking prolonged her life. A portrait representing her in the act of smoking forms the frontispiece of Middleton’s comedy of the “Roaring Girl.” She also figures in other plays of the period. Mary was the daughter of a shoe maker living in the Barbican, and Malone gives 1584 as the date of her birth. She early took to wicked ways and became a noted “highwayman.” Among her familiar friends were the notorious Capt. Hind and Richard Hannam. She was an expert swords woman. Single-handed she robbed on Hounslow Heath. Gen, Fairfax of 200 gold jacobuses, shooting him through the arm and killing two of his horses on whick his sertants were riding. For the offense she was committed to Newgate, but on paying the general £2,000 she obtained her liberty. At one time Mary had £3,000 of | her own, but by giving money to dis- tressed cavaliers she died compara | tively poo Her death took place in the tomers whose digestion was out of or | July, 1659, and she was laid to rest der. be carried conveniently and they reg- ‘astered rations lignt enough to starve canary.

There was a backward student at Balliol who, for failure to pass an ex- amination in Greek, was “sent down.” His mother went to see the master, | Dr. Jowett, and explained to him what an excellent lad her son was. “It isa hard experience for him, this dis- grace,” said the old lady; “but he will have the consolation of religion, and there is always one book to which he ean turn.” Jowett eyed her for a mo ment and then answered: “Yes, ma- dam; the Greek grammar. Good- morning.” HAD THE AUDIENCE WITH HIM ——. I Christian Missionary Had Little Show | in Argument with Native Mollah. As a medical misionary, stationed for 16 years in northwestern India, | near the Afghanistan frontier, Dr. T. L. Pennell had_his share of peril and adventure, which he has recounted in a@ volume entitled, “Among the Wild . Tribes of the Afghan Border.” As a medical man, Dr. Pennell had bis ups and downs with the native doctors, who sweat their patients and burn sores with'lighted oil, but have fo faith in western treatment. They also bleed and purge; but gradually the new-fangled treatment was ac cepted, and grateful converts were made at the Bannu dispensary. | As a missionary, Dr. Pennell had to contend with the mollahs, who are argumentative and great browbeaters; and very often, he confesses, he got the worst of it by verdict of the tagged crowd that hemmed in the theologians, With a certain mollah, who regard- ed the’ Christian medicine-man as a tival, Dr. Pennell had an amusing en counter. “Do you know,” asked the mollah, “what becomes of the sun when it sets every day?” The doctor gave the native circle the scientific explanation. “Rubbish!” exclaimed the mollah “We all know that the fires of hell are under the earth, and that the sun | basses down every night, and there fore comes.up blazing hot in the. morning.” All Dr. Pennell’s accounts of natural phenomena were ridiculed by the mob lah. Then, turning to his people, ke said, with contempt in his face and | voice: “It is evident that I shall have to} teach him everything from the be | ginning.”—Youth’s Companion. | SOCIAL CLIMBERS IN NEVADA | Land of Gold Witnesses Many Strange | Vicissitudes in the Matter | of Wealth, | To-day a humble gold-seeker may be living in a hutch of the simple ar- | chitecture of a box car, says Good | Housekeeping. To-morrow he is build- ing a “villa” with real clapboards and shingles, hiring a Chinaman of all work and sefding to ’Frisco for a | brass bed and a Persian rug. Some very pretty little houses begin to dot the barren landscape. A railroad i gold-bearing wilderness and. links it with the outer world. Come tailors, modistes and milliners, soda water and ice cream, clergymen and drum- mers, pickpockets and actors and all that splendid procession from the cozy corners of civilization. Social conditions were decidedly perplexing. Your washerwoman ac- cepted a mining claim for an uncollect- able debt. Suddenly the claim yields her a fortune, whereat, to show you that her wealth has not made her snobbish, she purchases an elaba ate portable house and settles down as your next-door neighbor. However, if you take it into your head to move away from the vicinity of the fortunate lavandiere you would find the moving problem quite simple. A small force of husky men can pull your house up by’the roots and carry {t up a hill or down a slope without any great exertion—that is, unless your dwelling is ‘dobe, or you happen to be one of the bonanza crowd and have gone in for heavy architecture.
