INSOMNIA.
The Irritation of Mind that Banishes
Sleep.


Sleep.
The immortal SanchO Panza SAYS:
s'While l am asleep l have neither fear
nor hope: neither trouble nor glory; and
blessings on him who invented sleep-the
mantle that covers all human thoughts;
the food that appeases hunger; the drink
that quenches thirst; the fire that warns;
the cold that moderates heat, and, lastly,
the general coin that purchases all things;
the balance and weight that makes the
shepherd equal to the king and the simple
to the wise.'' Cervantes, like all great
brain-wOrkers, evidently understood the
value, the comforts, the delights of
sleep, which are not fully appre-
ciated by any one until he suffers
the pangs Of wakefulness. One of the
most exquisite forms Of torture devised
by the tyrants Of Europe and of modern
China was to inflict death by preventing
sleep. A case is somewhere recorded Of
Chinese criminal who suffered for nine
teen DAYS before he succumbed. Food,
drink and raiment are more easily dis
pensed with for a considerable period than
is rest for the brain. Insomnia or in
ability to sleep is a common enough symp-
tom of many nervous and mental diseases,
and deprivation Of sleep, if kept up long
enough, invariably results in loss of rea-
son. The poet SOuthey laid the fOunda-
tiOn Of that mental malady which clOuded
his later years by watching at night at
the bedside of his sick wife after the con-
tinuOus mental labOrs Of the day. Many
a mental wreck dates from such over
taxation of the brain.
Wakefulness is generally owing to
something that irrltates the brain through
the feelings. Prolonged or excessive in
tellectual effort, so long as the emotions
are not stirred up, does not naturally pro-
duce loss of sleep, but rather predispOses
to slumber. When the emotions, espe-
cially those of depressing character, are
aroused, the brain is kept in a state of
irritation, and sleep viii not come, no
matter how earnestly it may be sought.
In fact, anxiety to sleep, like any other
form of anxiety, binders the obtaining of
it. Worry is, therefore, worse than work,
and wears out the instrument of the mind
more rapidly than anything else. The
hard-wOTked soldier or sailor may sleep
sOundly in spite of noises or confusion,
the roar of cannon or tempestuOus winds,
while the officer may remain sleepless,
when the night is peaceful and everything
would seem TO favor rest of mind and
body. Care and worry over duty upper
formed or to be done effectually prevent
the advent of slumber.

SOLID FOUNDATIONS.
The shaIzy Substance on Which Chicago
Stands.

The shaIxy Substance on Which Chicago
Stands.
No foundation upon which a heavy su-
perstructure is to be erected, says the
Chicago Times, is now regarded as pro-
perly laid III Chicago unless the base is
first formed by a mass Of concrete, made
Of broken stone and cement, of sufficient
thickness and breadth to form a solid
footing. 1t has been discovered in the
erection Of large buildings upon the soft
or made soil upon which Chicago is built
that the constituent parts of the underly-
Ing earth are not evenly dense, but that
pockets of quicksand or soft earth exist in
many places. The immense weight Of the
large structures upon such soil causes
them 10 settle uneYenly unless some
provision is made for overcoming the diff
Guilty, and when bOrings are made to
ascertain the condition Of the underlying
strata the architect and builder can read
ily determine where to strengthen the base
upon which the foundation is to be
erected.
The settling Of the custom house and
several other very heavy build .ngs has
been awarning to Chicago architects with
in a few years that a necessity existed
for STRENGTHENING the bases of large
buildings in order that they may settle
evenly when their heavy walls are erected,
and experience has taught them that if
they would have the mammoth structures
stand without cracked walls base must
be created that viii be almost, if not quite,
equal to a foundation upon solid rock.
As Chicago grows more metropolitan
and the demand for immense piles of
masonry becomes more apparent, it is a
source Of satisfaction TO the public to
know that the architects are be-
coming masters of the situation, not
only in designs in architecture, but that
the question of substantially has received
that great consideration which is due to
the future. The day has passed with the
Chicago architect when his ambition is
satisfied with having planned a structure
that will meet the demands of the present
day and stand as monument OF beauty
when the finishing touches shall have been
put upon it. Chicago has reached that
era in which its future demands and
greatness can be dimly, at least, dis
cussed, and the architect, Of all others,
has it within the range of his ability to
build for that future, to display his fore
sight, to improve upon the staid archltec-
ture OF the past by modern combinations
that will result in the production Of build
ing monuments of which they and the
future citizens of Chicago will be justly
proud. The substantial foundation is the
stepping-stOne to the grand piles of
masonry that are being and to be erected
i'm the city, and are only evidence Of the
sOlidity of the structures that will grace
the thOrOughfares Of Chicago, and stand
as a soil for all time.
