reliable representations as to the
result are entirely out OF the question.

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-
elared that he had been poor man
all his life and that he proposed to die
rich He was consequently left to
his fats 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 a ailway journey, and it may be
an advantage to 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 unfortunates who
wish to sleep but can not A pumps
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 in unfavorable cir
cumstances, and victims of insomnia
should know it.
The value of the method is not sole
ly in its holding the mind to one OBJ
iect of thought, hut 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 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, I'M
less you are other than an ordinary
mortal, and its cause viii 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 rail way tram or
in their beds at home, by pumping
the excess of blood from their brains
by a peculiar method of breath ing.
