SLEEPING IN CHURCH.

A physician who was asked for
reasons why people became drowsy
in church and if there was any reme-
dy for chronic cases, said that the
drowsy feeling in church was often
due to bad construction, to over-heat-
ing and to the general quietand COM
posing surroundings. 81 have Of
ten" said he, "advised patients of
mine who are troubled with insom-
MIA to try a quiet church where the
preacher was not too energetic in
his manner, and in most cases the
result had been gratifying. The
Door man who has become almost
wild through want of sleep general
" obtains relief and falls off into
a gentle and refreshing slumber.
Many people suffering in this way
take a ride in a railroad train for re-
lief and often get it, but nothing has
succeeded so well as the Sunday
morning service in quiet church.
If those people, however, do not
need to sleep in church, and do not
want to, would drink very strong
tea or coffee before going to church
they might find it effective, but by
no means healthy. Why do you
see the bald heads nodding most
i'm church? Because the old are
more susceptible to the influence of
such surroundings. The women sell
dom 60 to sleep, because they are so
dressed that to sleep would be al
most impossible. If the men would
lace themselves up tight they might
keep awake, too, but, in the words
of Gen. Knickerbocker, "they cawn't
do it, you know. ."-Phiiot'elphia

his discovery of that bit Of white rock
of future trouble 1t was giving the hound
the true scent, and / felt that this man
would never cease his efforts till he had rul
the game to earth.
All this came to ME in moment The
brightness Of the day had gone. Before,
had been singing in jolly fashion to myself
and living in bits of air castles, as fancy built
them-among which my speedy return to
Eastport, as comparative nabo5, was not
the smallest or least glitterins.
Bad came to worse. That very afternoon
Mr.. Jedediah Pratt located thirty-three
feet claim adjoining ours and commenced the
building of his cabin on it. That his prin-
cipal object was to hunt quartz in the neigh
borhood was certain. That he had, with
out knowing it, placed himself in the best
position for spying our movements was also
certain.
Next day came moro cause for apprehen-
sion. Pratt was joined by partner, u thick
set, black-bearded, coarse-looking man. Here
were two near neighbors, and both enemies.
War was fully declared between us, though
no high words passed. 1t was the silent,
secret war of intent on one side to find, on
the other to conceal.
OF course, Pratt and his companion would
remark my frequent absence from my claim.
They would be hunting quartz up and down
the mountain, and would be certain to inter-
cept me in my daily trips to and from the
"Bank" Then I remembered with dismay
that the mountain side was strewn with bits
of quartz, its milky whiteness bringing it out
in strong contrast with the red soil, and that,
in small and large fragments, twas especially
thick near the claim Now, these before un-
considered masses Of rock seemed to me as so
many finger posts pointing out to all our
treasure. 1 passed the whole night in a
fever, and suffered u dozen realities in
imagination concerning my coming troubles
with Pratt G. Co.
wrote Immediately to Broener, informing
him of the trouble. But in those days COM
munication by mail with San Francisco was
slow. A week at least would elapse before
Broener could get my letter and return.

before making another trip to San Francisco.

ing-at least, they'd make efforts to that
effect-and often was l so irritated by the
seeming contrariness, both of my arms and
the machine, that was tempted to kick it to
pieces.
Broener would laugh, saying: "Take it
easier. Sit down and let your mind rest.
There's where the trouble lies. Your mind is
trying to educate your body to the unaccus-
toned movement, and it's hard work at first
for both teacher and scholar. Don't get
angry. Recollect how many times you fell
down when you were trying to walk"

At the head of this column will be
found the republican ticket. 1t needs
but glance to convince reasonable
mind that Brown county and the re
publican party is as well represented
by the nomination of this ticket as
any county in the territory. A ma
jority of the nominees on this ticket
are good, honest and intelligent farm
ers, and the minority, though not
farmers, have only at heart the best
interests of Brown county farmers,
Brown county in general, and the re-.
publian party. They are not polished
tools of any clique or ring. if there
be any such in existence in this county,
neither are they representatives of
wealthy corporations or monopolies
but they are. as we said before, honest
and intelligent representatives for the
best interests Of Brown county and
the republican party.
This is the first year that party
lines have be drawn SO closely and it
is, therefore, the duty Of every repub-
lican voter to do all in his power to
effect as large gathering Of repub-
lican voters at the boliot box on Nov.

certainly spare no pains or anything
else to effect the same, result in their

hundred hours. Sometimes, like other
articles of human manufacture, they
fall short of expectations. The COM
petitive trial recently made at the
Franklin Institute of the lamps of yari-
Gus companies furnished several woe
full examples of this truth. A we'll
made lamp will last that length of time,
however. If by bad workmanship air
is allowed to leak in, the carbon burns
out quickly. If it is run at too high
tension-that is, if too much current is
sent through it, the friction wears out
the little horseshoe in a short time and
it breaks. 1t is the necessity for prac-
tically absolute vacuum that requires
the employment of the platinum con-
Meeting wires. Platinum is the only
metal which expands and contracts
with heat at the same rate as glass.
This keeps the joint, where the wires
pass through the glass, always tight
so that no air can enter. There is q
fortune in store for the inventor who
can get up some kind of cement that
will prevent the passage of air. and at
the same time admit the use of cheap
copper instead of costly platinum
wires. The problem may be capable of
solution, for this whole matter of cleo
tic lighting is still in its infancy,
though not most vigorous stage of in
fancy.-N Y. Tribune.
