A New Railway Town and the Way

A few weeks since we published a letter from
Claude King, in the Indian country, to friend
In this city. We are now permitted to make a
few extracts from letter recently written by
his brother, who is in Texas, to his uncle. B. F.
Mofett, of this city. Both were STAR boys, and
still retain an affection for the old Evening
Luminary."

two nights after my arrival, but at last tired ma

look as though they might starve any minute.
There is one store and one hotel. The store is

The store is also the saloon; two barrels and q
row of dirty tumblers constitute the set-Out.

American Need of Sleep.

Dr. Selden H. Talcot, superintendent of the
state homeopathic asylum for the insane at Mid
dletown, says that our national lack is that of
recuperating sleep. Against the use of the So
called hypnOtics in massive doses he protests.
because the temporary benefits are heavily dis
counted by the evil effects which almost ALWAYS
follow. Two conditions oppose the requirement
of sleep: These are hyper@mia Of the brain
stimulating it to undue activity, and playing
the part of whip and spur to q tired horse
and the opposite of hyper@mia, excessive cere-
bral anemia. To relieve the former by rational
methods, the blood forces must be enticed away
from their persistent assaults upon the cranial
fortress" This can best be accomplished by
filling the stomach with solid food, thus eur
nishing temporary engagement for the pugilis-
tic glObules on other fields" The food should
be OF the coarsest and plainest. else the remedy
might produce an aggravatiOn. Should excess
slve an&mta exist, and state Of nerve irrita-
bility and trepidatiOn be thus produced, take
liquid food. such as hot milk beef tea and

Fresh air should be freely supplied in every
sleeping room; yet the sleeper should be pro-
tected from even moderate draughts, for these,
though apparently slight at first, will produce
chilliness Of one portion Of the body while an
other may be overheated, and thus disturbing
Inequality OF circulation ensues. Beds should
