The Parsee.

You can always pick out Parsee by
the style of hat he wears 1t starts
vertically from the head for an inch or
so, then turns abruptly back at an
angle of sixty degrees, and so runs on
the anterior portion for seven or eight
inches, when it is suddenly cut off at
right angles, which makes the posterior
portion. which is parallel with the face,
only about three or four inches long.
The top is left open, save that inside
and directly upon the head rest several
folds of silk. Were not the hat itself
made of purple silk it would look 70:
all the world like an old-time coal
scuttle. A Parsee never smokes-this
is a matter of religion with him--but he
enjoys long glass of brandy and soda.
As the Jews have come to be regarded,
so the Parsees. one and oil, are reputed
rich. Let one dress as meanly as he
may, still he is reputed to have money.
They are the Jews of the East. Their
native home is Persia, though for thou
sand wears but few have lived there.
They have made home for themselves
in and about Bombay, but many are
scattered in towns throughout the
whole coast from Corea to Arabia.
Their religion is not the religion of In
dia-neither Brahmanism nor Buddhism
but the ancient religion of Persia as
given to the Persians by that highly
mythical parsonage, Zoroaster, and set
forth in the Zend-Avesta-Cath0iE
World.

How They May be Sure OF Obtaining BE.
freshins Sleep on . Railway Train.
Until recently have not been able
to secure much sleep on the first night
of a 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. Bow 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
iect of thought, but the process of
breathing here described is really
equivalent TO the insertion of a 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 a 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.

that the success of the sorghum sugar

as many of bis friends had hoped and
