THE secre tary of the treasury has
decided a contract case involving an
important labor question. Bids were
recently opened for stone work on
the new government post Office build
ing at Peoria, i'll. Messrs. Brainerd
s. Co., of Joliet, ILL.,, were the lowest
bidders. A protest against their be-
ing awarded the contract was, how
ever, filed by Messrs. Straub & Co.,
of Buffalo, the next lowest bidders,
on the ground that Brainerd & Co.
are contractors for the labor of the
Illinois state prison, and would employ
convict labor on the post Office. The
matter was referred' to Solicitor
McCue, who gave an opinion that the
department should not be expected tC
dictate the means by which contrac.
tors perform their work, and that he
did not believe the protest valid
one. Secretary Manning has sustain
ed the solicitor, and the contract will,
be awarded to Brainerd & Co.

Rich at Last.

A ship was recently wrecked ON the
coast of Brazil, aboard which were
several cases of gold coin. An effort
was at first made to save this, but,
proving impracticable, the gold was
strewn on deck, and passengers and
crew escaped in the boats. One man,
however, refused to go. Seating him
self among the shining coins he de-
clared that he had been a poor man
all his life and that he proposed to die
rich. He was consequently left to
his fata and went down with the treas
ure.

How to Induce Sleep.
New York Mail and Express.

Until recently, / have not been able
to secure much sleep on the first night
of railway journey, and it may be
an advantage to travellers to know
now the inability was overcome. An
excess of blood in the brain prevents
sleep. How to remove the surplus is
the problem for the unfortunates who
wish to sleep but can not. A pump is
needed for the purpose, and it may
easily be provided as follows: Having
assumed the usual position of repose,
inhale and exhale slowly and steadily
long breaths, devoting the whole at
tention to making the inhalation and
exhalation of exactly the same length.
The length should be much greater
than that Of ordinary breathing, al
though not sufficient to disturb the
circulation by working the lungs to
their utmost capacity. Any person
who has force of will enough to con-
centrate his whole attention on the
maintenance of this style of breathing
can compel sleep Ia unfavorable cir
cumstances, and victims of insomnia
SHOULD know it.
The value of the method is not sole
ly In it's holding the mind to one OBJ
ject Of thought, but the process of
breathing here described is really
equivalent to the insertion of pump
in the brain to draw off it's excess of
blood. To convince yourself that this
is so, FL your lungs with all the air
they will hold. and then expel it, re-
peating the operation three or four
times as rapidly as possible. The re-
suit will be feeling of faintness, un-
less you are other than an ordinary
mortal, and its cause will be a def
cheney of blood in the brain, produced
by the pumping process. Such violent
breathing will not induce sleep, how
ever, as there is a reaction which
sends the life current rushing back to
the seat of the mind. Scientists say
that the reason why fear, surprise or
any other sudden emotion often
causes faintness is because 1t rapidly
drives the blood from the brain, and
the fact is significant for those who
wish to understand how to induce
sleep, whether on the railway train Or
in their beds at home, by pumping
the excess OF blood from their brains
by peculiar method of breath ing.

The Cro,c Creek Craze.

MITCHELL, March 1S.-The rush to
the Crow Creek reservation continues. The
trains west from here are crowded so as to
be uncomfortable, and already nearly the
whole reservation is thickly dotted with
homesteaders' shanties, located often with
out regard to lines of survey. Business is
neglected in the craze for land, and in many
of the places of business only clerk will be
found, who will inform you that the proprie-
tor sis out on his claim.' The hotels, lum-
Der merchants, hardware merchants, livery
men and carpenters are doing a thriving
business, the latter commanding 81 a day
and sometimes 81 an hour. Twenty dollars
is often paid to haul the lumber for a shanty.
The craze extends even to women. They
will go there and hire team and driver and
60 away out on the reservation and ''locate a
