REFUNDING PROJECTS.
PROBABLE DEFEAT OF FERNANDO WOODS BILL FOR
SJOO,O0OO0O NEw Ala PER GEMS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUSE.l


WASHINGTON, May 4.-The Committee On
WAYS and Means resumed to-day the consideration OF
the Funding bill No vote taken during the session
to-day nor did the discussion go far enough 20 indicate
what the action Of the Committee will be. Conversation
with members OF the Committee outside Of the commit
teeroom leads to the belief that the bill introduced by
Fernando Wood will either be reported upon adversely
by the Committee or laid upon the table. Mr.. Woods
bill provides for the issue of 5O00O0ODo Of coupon or
registered bonds redeenabe after 80 years and bearing
interest payable quarterly in gOd at the rate Of 42
cent per The bin also provides that the bonds
and interest shall be exempt from the payment OF all
taxes and duties of the United states, well as from
taxation in any form by under state, municipal, or
local authority and that the bonds shall have expressed
and set forth upon their these conditions. The bill
reported in the Senate by MIR. Sherman simply amends
fhe refundng laws in such way as to increase the
amount OF 4la per cent bonds now authorized from
$500 600 900 10 $780, 1000 and the time during
which they are to run from 10 to 80 years.

SLEEP AS A MEDIcINE.-A physician saws
that the crysfor fest has alwaysbeen louder
than the cry foF food. Not that it is more
important, but II is often harder to obtain
The best rest comes from sound sleep. OF
two men or women, otherwise equal, the
one who sleeps the best will be the most
heahhy and efficient. Sleep will do much
to cure irritability oftemper,> peevishness
and uneasiness. 1t will restore vgor to
an over-worked brain. 1t will build up
and make strong a weak body. 1t will
cure a headache. 1t will cure a broken
spirit. 1t will cure sorrow. Indeed, we
make long list of nervous maladies that
sleep will cure. The cure of sleeplessness
requires clean, good bed, sufficient exer-
ciseto promote WEAKNESS, pleasant occu-
patton, good air, and not too warm room;
a clear conscience and avoidance of s,imu-
lants and narcotics. For those who are
overworked,' haggard,N nervous, who pass
sleepless nights, we commend the adoption
OF such habits aswill secure sleep; other
wise life will DO short, and what there is of
1t sadly imperfect. .".
