REMEDIES FOR INSOMNIA.

AN old monks prescription for sleepless.
ness was tell your beads"
SOME people can induce sleep by count.
ing, and by constant repetition Of series
Of words.
WAKEFULNEss is often induced by hunger
and glass Of mill. and q cracker will in,
duce sleep.
Cold feet are (, very common cause Of
this trouble, which generally disappears as
soon as the habit is formed Of taking regu-
larly to bed Eoa flatiron or Jug of hot
water.
SOME persons have been able to induce
sleep by repeatedly taking full breath and
holding 1t in as long as possible. Others find
rapid breathing, fully filling the lungs each
time, to be as enectual.
DRUGS are the very last measures for the
sufferer from insomnia to try. He must
first endeavor to live wisely in all things.
Reforms should be instituted, and nil per.
nicious habits and seemingly trihing lrregu.
>arities corrected.
OFTEN wakeful patient, ill with foyer,
will ut once sink into sound sleep after
drinking freely of ice water. SO, when q
person is heated up, and on that account
can not get to sleep. he should drink freely
of very cold water.
RARELY ever is he who works hard with
his hands victim to persistent insomnia.
Hence, for those who suffer, sufficient mus.
cular exercise is imperative. A long and
tiresome walk in the evening is generally
followed by a good nights rest.
DoUCH1Na the head with cold water fov
three or four minutes is q remedy fol-
sleeplessness. The person taking it should
lie in bed with his head over the edge, and
the water should be poured on it from a
common watering pot, held so high that
there will be a fail of water of nearly two
feet. Cotton should be put into the ears to
prevent the water from entering them.
In insomnia dependent upon severe and
long-continued oxertion, oil means will fail
if the individual will not consent to use his
brains in rational manner. Proper inter.
walls Of relaxation must be insisted upon,
and in some cases, complete mental rest.
Travel is always OF the greatest advantage
In such cases; bodily exercise Is one Of the
most absolute essentials. Horseback rid
ing is a pleasurable form of exercise, and ID
productive of good results.
THs object, in the majority Of cases Of
wakefulness, is to draw the blood from the
brain. A form Of exercise Is follows will
do that: II the room is warm, let the per
son leave the bed and lay at full length on
the carpet; If too cold, he may exercise If
bed. When fully extended, fat on his back
he should raise himself without tho aid Of
his hands, to sitting position, anu then
slowly fall back again. II this movement
is kept up for fifteen minutes. sound sleer
will often follow a,''.'.~

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS
MlNNESOTA'S HEALTH.
Tho Death Rate Shown to he Growing
Smaller Every Year.


Smaller Every Year.
Dr. Z. w. Hewitt Secretary Of the State
Board OF Health, says:
1.-THE death rate in Minnesota has steadily
decreased during the last five years. In 1883
the death rate per 1000 OF population was Has;
In 1885 the rate was 11.06 and in 1887, 90. Very
few understand what SO apparently trivial
reduction as 100 III 1,OO0 or O.106 per unit
means here. 1t represents the SAVING OF hu.
man lives between 1886 and 1857, and it means
that l,4ss men, women and CHI ldren escaped
death who, had the mortality rate OF 1886 con-
tinued in 1877, would have died"
The doctor further estimates that every
death represents ten persons constantly
sick, so that this re iuction in mortality
means, further, more than ID. 600 less cases
of sickness in 1887 than In 1886. Beneficiary
societies allow fourteen days sickness to
each case. Apply that rule and there were
196, 600 less days Of sickness in 1887 than in
1856. If one wished to figure the money
value OF lives saved, and assumed $1,000
as the average, a saving Of LOG deaths in
1000 living means q saving of 81, 43S, 900 to
the State.

lHE republican party OF IennSylVa-
MIA has now fulfilled all the promises
it has made with respect to prohibition.
In 1886 it promised to pass a resolu.
tion submitting a constitutional pro-
hibition amendment to a vote of the
people of the state. 1t did so. In
1888 it promised to pass the same res
olution second time. 1t has now
done this also, and has appointed the
18th day of June as the day when the
vote by the people shall be taken.
During these years, while the party
has been honestly endesvoring to &C.
complish this result, it has received
not one word of commendation or en-.
couragement from the organization
known as the prohibition party. On
the contrary it has been subjected to
as much abuse as if it had been work.
ing directly against the principles
avowed by that party. The fact ought
not to be forgotten that the amend
meni 10 70 be submitted to the people
without word of encouragement or
approval, and without en- assisting
vote from the leaders of the pTohibi.
tion party. For the submission of this
amendment to vote cf the people,
the sole responsibility rests on the re.
publican party. TIE republican party
cannot as party 60 further, and it
must not be expected to co so. The
majority of the republicans Of this
state are prohibitionists, but they Tn
derstand that the majority cen rot be
coerced into the support Of the amend
ment, and therefore not wishing to ct.
tempt what they know can not be &C.
complished they have declined to
make it party CT prohibition, end
have appointed special election to
decide the question. 1t this time
there will be no party issue before the
people, and each voter will be governed
solely by his duty to himself and to
his fellow man. In this contest, re.
publicans, democrats, labor reformers
and every other breed Of politics will
be found for the amendment and
against the amendment, and we may
expect, what he's never been known
before, comparatively neutral press.
The question is the most important
single question that hes been before
our people in lifetime. 1t 10 a cues
tion which involves the rights of prop
erty, personal liberty and the mora,
welfare of the human race. 1t is the
question of this election, which of these
shall prepouderate in the settlement O
the question of to drink or not t

The administration at Washington
is, it seems, very much wrought up
over the Samoan difficulty. Secretary
Bayard is very sensitive to criticism
as TO his course in the matter, and
says he has done all he could to up.
hold American honor. His friends
are inclined to put the blame on the
President, who, they say, should have
taken more vigorous action. 1t is toe
late now to squabble about the re-
sponsibility. To do SO will only be-
little the administration. The one
thing to do is to extricate the country
from the snarl without loss of dignity
If the administration had been as
anxious to defend our interests abroad
as it was to force upon the country
the English free trade heresy, Messrs
Cleveland and Bayard would not now
be harassed with the problem tha
confronts them in the South Pacific.

EDWARD JAMES, a prominent Eng
lish tin plate manufacturer, is in the
city looking up location for the Hope
Iron and Tin Plate Company, of Tip.
ton, England, which it is proposed to
move here. Mr.. James stated to a
Dispatch reporter that over 81, 100000
had been contributed by English tin
plate manufacturers and merchants to
defeat the clause in the Senate tariff
bill imposing duty on tin plate, and
this sum has been judiciously placed
in lie hands of lobbyists for that pur-
pose. In the event of the passage Of
the bill, the industry will likely be
wound up in England and the business
brought to this country. At present
there are 2O3 tin plate mills in Great
Britain, employing 100000 men.

THE bill introduced in the Ponnsyl-
vsnia Legislature by Representative
Campbell to tax manufacturers EN-.
ployipg foreign born unnaturalized
labor 25 cents per day per laboer is a
rather novel form of proposing to shut
all foreigners out of the country, at
least so far as the manufacturing in.
dustries are concerned. OF course it
is evident that the effect of this would
be to tax the laborers themselves. No
manufacturer would employ labor sub.
iect to such an enactment unless be
could get it at least % cents per day
cheaper than the labor of American
citizens. 1t is plain then that unless
the uuuaturalized laborer could afford
to pay a tax OF $50 or S75 year be
would have to live on air during the
FIVE years required for naturalization.
1t is possible that those who live as
the Huns and Italians do might stand
that burden; but the immigration
that is desirable would be excluded
from labor in the factories. The eff CT
of such an enactment would therefore
be to fill our poorhouses with the uu.
naturalized labor that cannot fnd ag.
ricultural employment, and probably
to exclude all future immigration ex.
cept, possibly, that of the lowest class
