Mr.. Abram 5. Hewitt is, it seems, q
victim to insomnia--t is, sleepless
ness. This is very prevalent and
growing disease in this country This
is not the place to give the genesis of
this disorder; but perhaps 4 few hints
as to its treatment may be useful. In
the first place, no drugs or opiates
should ever be taken. They give no
permanent relief, but only add TO the
bodily distempers which induce loss of
sleep. A tepid bath before retiring
with the base of the brain and spine
sponged with cold water, is often
clfectual in securing a good nights
rest. The object should be to draw
blood from the brain to the lower part
of the body. Late meals should
he avoided, unless they are habitual.
Rest, and even sleep, are natural after
a full meal This is as true of human
beings as of hogs. The sicsta after
dinner is common in warm countries
and sleep is natural after a meal if ha
bitual, for the blood is then drawn
from the brain to help digest the food
Yet, every one knows that, if accus
toned to eating a full supper or dinner
five or six hours before retiring
the eating of an unusual meal immedi-
ately before retiring is provocative of
disturbed dreams and unquiet rest, if
not absolute sleeplessness. Anything
that will fix the attention helps sleep.
The counting numbers back ward and
forward will sometimes induce som
nolency. Counting imaginary sheep
jumping over an imaginary fence ha
been found effective. Rolling about
the eye-balls CT gazing intently with
closed eyes toward the root of the nose
often induces state of the body and
mind which brings on slumber. A
writer in ChdmbeyS' Joulndl has a
new recipe for insomnia lie found
that when in intense thought, the mind
being especially active the eyc.balls
turned upward. When aleepless he
tried to turn them down, with the re-
suit of soon becoming unconscious
Tho writer says it required an active
effort of the will to keep the eyes in
the down.turned position; but in his
case it always ended in slcep.-Demo-
rest,

A correspondent Of the Cleveland
Le9aer writes that King IIumbert is
quite nervous in manner, and takes off
his hat as though doubtful whether to
toss it to the crowd, throw it ON the
floor of the carriage, or keep it on his
head. lie smiles, of course; that he
must do, but such a smile! 1t is the
mere turning up of the corners of the
mouth and seems to say: "l'm tired, if
! am a King. and shall not break my
neck nodding.'
The Queen is simplicity itself. Her
manners, however approach nearer our
dea of queenliness than we ever ey-
pected to find. We see her often. She
is always simply dressed, generally in
black silk or satin, with sealskin sacque
and sealskin broad-brimmed hat. She
makes no display of jewelry, SO far
as dress goes, she Is Just like every
other woman in comfortable circum-
stances. Indeed, she makes no effor
to be different. Her manner say
plainly: circumstances have made
me a Queen, but, after all, | am only
woman-no worse nor better than
you"

The First Ice Palace.

in the construction Of this work,
built by the Empress Anna lvanovna,
on the Neya, 1889, the simplest means
were used. First, the purest and most
transparent ice was selected. This was
cut into large blocks, squared with
rule and compass, and carved with all
the regular architectural embellish-
mcnts. No cement was used. Each
block when ready was raised to its des-
tined place by cranes and pulleys, and
Just before it was let down upon tho
block which was to support it, water
was poured between the two; the upper
block was Immediately lowered, and as
the water frO2e almost instantly in
that intensely cold climate, the two
blocks became literally one. IN fact.
the whole building appeared to be and
really was. single mass of ice. Tho
effect it produced must have been in
finitely more beautiful than if it had
been Of the most costly marhle--its
transparency and blush tint giving it
rather the appearance Of precious
stone.
In dimensions, the structure was
fifty-siy feet long, eighteen feet wide,
twenty-One feet high, and with walls
three feet in thickness. At each corr
ner of the palace was a pyramid of tho
sane height as the roof, of course built
of ice. ond around the whole was a low
palisadc Of the same material. Tho
actual length of the front view, in
cluding pyramids, was one hundred
and fourteen feet.
The palace was built in the usual
style of Russian architecture The
facade was plain, being merely divided
into compartments by pilasters, There
was window in each division, which
was painted in imitation of greer mar
be. The window-panes were formed
of slabs of ice, as transparent and
smooth as sheets of plate glass. At
night, when the palace was lighted, thU
windows were curtained by canvas
screens, on which grotesque figures
were painted. Owing to the transparI
cncy of the whole material, the genera
effect of the illumination must Lave
been fine, the whole palace seemingly
filed with delicate pearly light. The
central division projected, and appeared
to be a door, but was, in fact, largo
window, and was illuminated like tho
others. Surmounting the tac0dc of the
building was an ornamental balustrado
and at each end of the sloping roof
was n huge chimney. The entrance
was at the rear. AT each side of tha
door stood limitations of orange
trees, in leaf and flower, with ice-birds
perchcd on the branches. st Nicholas
