The suggestion recently made in this col
umn in regard to methods Of inducing or pro
noting sleepiness has been put to a practical
test by one constant reader Of The Tribune
with most gratifying results. The sugqes-

perience In the following language: my
plan is not to count rapidly, but to call off
mentally one figure with every expiration of
breath. A person in good health counts at
that rate about twenty a minute Before
reaching % in this scale, he must count for
about sixteen minutes, as the series mounts
up to S25 counted straight ahead. But
have found one decided advantage over
counting il regular order. That can be done
mechanically, without any mental activity
whatever.
The other method is not burdensome to the
mind, but furnishes just enough material to
keep the thoughts off other subjects l often
find myself forgetting the number at which /
ought to stop and return to l, whereupon at
once begin again where left OFF and proceed
in order. l cannot say that this scheme will
produce sleep when there is no inclination or
impulse in that direction, but when there is
even a rudimentGry impulse l know it will
encourage and increase it l have tried it
good many times since first read it in The
Tribune and it has only failed me twice.
Often on waking will remember that was
not able to count beyond z or before losing
myself in slumber l have never yet counted

limit. believe that the author of this sug-
gestion has conferred a boon on people who
are troubled with insomnia, although it can

Odd stories about the eccentricities of the
late Mrs. S. c. Halls memory are now being
told. One diverting anecdote relates that,
travelling with her husband from Liverpool to
London, about 1850, he bought some light lit
erature for her to read on the train. One of
the serials she perused with very close at
tention, and finally handed it over to Mr..
Hall with the remark, "Read that; it is a
capital Irish story" She was struck with
surprise when told that it was her own. On
another occasion, after reading the beginning
Of the Whiteboy"-which is mentioned as
the only tolerablo novel she ever wrote-she
was quite puzzled to think how the author
would get the hero out Of the complication.
AS it was feat Of hers to write long Irish
sketch between dawn and dusk of a summer
day, such lapses Of memory are not to be
wondered at, and the obscurity into which
her books have fallen is equally comprehen-
sible.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

No line Of trade is subject to such changes
and peculiarities as mems furnishing goods.
No matter how fine an article may be the
moment it becomes out Of date it will not
bring half its cost price. This is particularly
true Of neckwear and collars. The finest
goods may be untouched in a showcase, sim.
ply because they are not the fad" A re-
markable thing is the sudden changes in the
demand for canes Last winter the cry was
for silver heads, and the dealers secured a
big supply. All Of sudden bucllhorn han
dies came into fashion, and the dealers were
glad enough to close out the silver heads at

on these roads may be taken as the type Of
what other companies should do On tho
former, the scheme originated with the elder
Garrett nearly ten years ego. At its organi-
cation all employees could Join without
regard to age After a short period those
over As years and those who could not pass
a medical examination were not allowed to
join. All persons employed regularly by the
company are required to pass a medical ex-
animation, must be under IS years Of age,
and must join the relief association. Thus
it viii be seen that nearly all their employees
are members. The compulsory feature looks
to an outsider like a hardship, but the obli-
cation is on him only who seeks employment
The employees are divided into two Glasses
hazardous and non-hazardous; and these two
classes are divided into five others, who pay
into fund certain fixed sums each month,
according to the amount Of wages regularly
received. Benefits are paid In weekly indem-
mites in cases of sickness and disablements
and gross sum to the beneficiary when death
occurs. They vary according to the amount
contributed Free medical and surgical at
tendance is given; hospitals are established;
physicians are appointed at convenient points
on the line The company has contributed
100000, the interest on which at @ per cent
goes into the fund yearly. 1t also puts S25,-
600 per year intoa approximation fund.
building loan association has also been
formed, which has become quite popular.
There are many other liberal features, Of
which limited space will not permit an emu
meration.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company has !
also adopted system Of relief similar 20 that |
Of the Baltimore and Ohio, but not so extern
sive. IL is entirely voluntary, and numbers |

" leaving the local benevolent associations;
they find they can insure themselves with the
aid Of solvent and powerful company for
much less money than in the thousand and
one local lodges whose solvency depends on
the honesty Of a secretary or treasurer.
Other systems Of relief, but to a minor ex-
tent, have been adopted by railway compa-
free hospital service for the
sick and disabled upon the Santa Fe and Mis-
souri, Pacific, all of which materially lessen
the number Of claims for damages and sub

The mail route between this place and
Bridgewater, distance Of six miles, appears
to be star route that does not need a con-
gressional investigation, but does deserve
some notice. For the last four years it has
cost Uncle Sam only four cents for a daily
mail service on this route, and for the ensu-
ing four years one cent is to pay for tho same
service. If warrants are drawn quarterly
they will call for only one-sixteenth Of a cent
each, and the contractor will have to wait
four years, or until he has received sixteen
warrants, before he can draw his cash. VIII
