OF INTEREST TO TRAVELLERS.

How They May be Sure of Obtaining Re-
freshing Sleep on Railway Train.
Until recently have not been able
to secure much sleep on the first night
of railway journey, and it may be an
advantage to many travellers to know
how the inability was overcome. An
excess of blood in the brain prevents
sleep. How to remove the surplus is
the problem for the unfortunate who
wish to sleep but can not. A pump is
needed for that purpose, and it may
easily be provided, as follows: Having
assumed the usual posture of repose,
inhale and exhale slowly and steadily
long breaths, devoting the whole at
tention to making the inhalations and
exhalations of exactly the same length.
The length should be much greater
than that of ordinary breathing, al
though not sufficient to disturb the cir
culation by working the lungs to their
utmost capacity. Any person who has
force of will enough to concentrate his
whole attention on the maintenance of
this style of breathing can compel
sleep in very unfavorable circumstances
and victims of insomnia should know it.
The value of the method is not
solely in 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 its excess Of
blood. To convince yourself that this
is so, fill your lungs with all the air
they can hold and then expel it, repeat
ing the operation three or four times
as rapidly as possible. The result will
be feeling of faintness, unless you
are other that an ordinary mortal, and
its cause will be deficiency of blood
in the brain, produced by the pumping
process. Such violent breathing will
not produce sleep. however, 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 it
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 a
peculiar method Of breathing.-Cor.

70 DRESS-MAkERS.

Hints of Value to That Large Glass Which
Fashions Other Peoples Clothes.
The foundation skirts of dresses must
be narrow in order to be stylish; the
mistake of amateur dress-makers is TO
make the back of this foundation skirt
as wide as the outside, which gives a
most ungraceful effect. Two yards
and fourth Of yard is the greatest
width of short walking dresses, but
these must not have drawing-strings
too low down, or the back fullness will
be tossed from side to side as the wearer
walks.
Tucked skirts of sheer wooden
dresses are now made without any
foundation skirts, with merely deep
facing of crinoline and alpaca, and are
therefore very light and pleasant for
summer wear. The full double width
of the fabric is used for the back
breadth; on each side of this is a mar
row side gore measuring three-eighths
of yard at the top, with perhaps
sixteenth added at its greatest width at
the front. Between there is the front
breadth, about five-eighths wide at the
foot, and narrowed at top by two or
three darts taken deep enough to, make
it fit smooth across the wearer. This
| is cut sufficiently long to allow eight or
| ten tucks. each two inches wide, being
taken up. The lowest tuck is not ex-
| actly at the foot, but falls upon fine
knife p1eating that drops as low as the
skirt binding and forms pretty finish.
All the fullness at the top is gathered
| or pleated into the back of the belt, ex-
tending an eighth of yard each side
of the placket opening behind Two
or three sets of tapes sewed to the side
cores tie behind and hold the front and
sides in place To finish this is short
apron drapery in front sewed in with
| the belt of the lower skirt, and behind
there is sash drapery made of two
uneven loops and ends of the wool
goods taken lengthwise about half a
yard wide, and flushed with hem and
tucks. The waist should have length
wise narrow tucks in front and behind,
be fitted smoothly over a lining and
| stitched across the waist line to dis
pense with belt The fronts between
these tucks are each left plain, are
about three inches wide, and when
Tapped double they represent a vest,
which is completed by row of small
buttons down each side. Thin silesia
Innings in figures and stripes of color
with white or with whole gray sur
face are used for such dresses. s.-Har-

A Stroke of Lightning.

A person struck by lightning does
not know it, the fluid being much
quicker than thought. The nerves
which convey pain are rather slow in
their power to convey information.

Statistics collected BY Joseph Z.
Perkins, of Syracuse, N. Y, show that
thousands ofpeople live to a greater age
than 100 years. He says that at the
present time Connecticut leads in Ion
gevlty in this country. The majority
of very old people are women. Among
men soldiers, sailors and farmers are
the longest lived. Mr. Perkins found
one hundred ministers who had passed
the century limit, but he found only
thirty doctors, ten lawyers and ten ac

logs was formed A large amount of powder was
