Cause of Wakefulness.

The primary cause IL wakefulness is an in
crease in the quantity OF blood circulating in
the brain; hence any condition or cause capa-
BILE of inducing this state Of the cerebral cir
culation may give rise to it As these causes
are more or less under the control of the in
dividual, it is important that they should be
generally known. First-Excessive and long
continued intellectual action or powerful
mental emotions. Second-Those positions of
the body which tend to impede the flow Of
blood from the brain and at the same time
do not obstruct its passage TO the brain.
Many physicians have noticed the connec-
ton existing between bodily position and
wakefulness. 1t is evident that the recum-
bent position is more conducive 10 a state of
congestion Of the brain than the erect or
seni-erect Dr. Forbes Winslow, Dr. Ham,
mond and other physicians have noticed an
increase in the number and intensity of hal
lucinations of insane patients. or persons suf-
fering from deliriun trsners, as soon as
they assume the recumbent position These
patients have been found to sleep quietly for
some time in an armchair, but 70 be annoyed
by Authorizations as soon as they lie down.
Third-Certain substances used as medicine

He Works by the Bell.

On Diamond street last Sunday, when all
che swells were rolling out toward the park
behind their speedy trotters, q sallow faced
young fellow got into HE buggy near TWEEN
tieth street. and taking the reins in his hands
cautiously pulled a little bell twice, and the
horse started off. Some of his friends are all
wondering where he got the horse, which Is
a fine animal, but has curious tricks One of
them who su,ows tells a very funny story
about il.
1t scerls that the young man went out in
the country few months ago and vGlile there
saw the horse and purchased it. A few Sun
days ago he hitched him to a buggy and
started out with his best girl for drive.
They managed to get as far as Diamond
street, and then, for some unknown reason,
the horse refused to move. The young man
was In en- awful quandary. He whipped the
horse until his arm was tired, and then he
got out and tried to lead him, but the animal
was obdurate.
The girl got out and walked away in high
dudgeon, and the crowd which had assem-
bled enjoyed the situation hugely. 1t took
about four hours to haul the animal TO the
stahle, and the next day the young man was
out to see the man who sold him the horse.
''Oh, he's all right" said tie dealer, but
YOU don't know how to work him. He's been
hauling car all his life, and wont go unless
he hears the belll'
Ever since then the young man has had
regulation car bell On the dashboard Of the
buggy When he wants to start he rings
the bell twice, and one ring brings the beast
TO an abrupt standstiu. But he still has
many difficulties TO contend with. The horse,
remembering his early education, will only
stop at street crossings, and bag of oats
would not bring him TO halt in the middle
of a block. The other day the young man
went out for drive and got onto Ridge
avenue. When he tried to turn into Girard
avenue he found that the horse would not
turn out Of the car track, and he was COM
peeled to proceed to the depot.-Phiiadelphia

THE CUSTER MASSACRE.
Ono Man Escaped. and He Blew His Brains
Out to Avoid Capture.

Out to Av0id Capture.
In his long service as Indian agent DIR. Nc
Gilhcuddy learned from the Sioux many in
teresting facts about the Custer massacre
For years after that terrible affair the par
Elephants Ia it were very 10th to talk OF it to
white men, but as the agent gradually gained
their confidence they told him, little by little,
the whole story. Sitting Bull had 5000 war
riors on that occasion. That is said to have
been the largest force Of Indians ever encoun-
tered by American troops in single engage
ment Custer had over 500 cavalry and some
Crow scouts He divided his force about
equally, and sent Maj. Reno with one body to
attack the lower end Of the Indian village,
while he charged at the upper end. The
Sioux all agree in their statements to DR.. Nc
Gnlicuddy that their surprise was complete.
They were engaged in rspelling Reno at one
end, when the bugies at the other end gave
them their first warning OF Clusters presence.
They were disconcer Jed, and were On the
point of giving way fer q general retreat
when Reno to their astonishUaen5, drew OF.
This permitted them to turn their whole at
tentisn to Custer, 1.-THE white chief Eith the
yellow hair"
They told how they managed to make the
massacre complete The ground was broken
and Custer was unable TO handle his men IN
cavalry formation. He dismounted them,
leaving every fourth man TO hold the horses.
The Indians threw themselves first on the
men with the horses, shot them down and
stampeded the horses. They did this, they
said, because they knew that the bulk OF the
ammunition which the soldiers carried was
on the horses This done, the rest was easy.
1t was only the question of a few minutes till
the cartridges in the belts Of the soldiers gave
out, and then there was no more ammunition.
Il see" SAID DR.. McGiliicuddy, that every
now and then some man announces himself,
in the east, as the sole survivor Of the Custer
massacre You can always put him down as
an impostor. There was one man who might
have escaped Ee was young surgeon
named Lord His body was not found until
long afterwards, and it was at first supposed
he was captive The Indians told me
strange story about Lords death. They said
that when he saw how things were going he
started off. Several young bucks followed
him, but he had good horse and kept ahead
of them. Just as they were going to give up
the chase and Intending to let Lord escape,
he dew pistol and shot himself dead l
suppose he .crazed at the thought of be-
coming a prisoner. The only person with
Custer who survived was Crow scout.
When he saw that the fight had gone against
the cavalry he drew bis blanket over his head
so that the Sioux might not recognize him as
a Crew, jumped about among them and
howled and gradually edged his way out Of
the fight and made OF. l believe he is still
about the Crow Indian agency.n-S;ioux Falls

A diamond expert has made public the
following method of identifying a real di-
amond; Prick needle hole through a
card and look at it through the doubtful
stone. II it is spurious two holes will
be seen distinctly on the card, if it is a
diamond only one hole will be visible,
for there is no other stone at all resem-
bling the diamond but tina. gives dou-
BILE reflection. This property is also
made use of for determining an uncer-
tain stone. Ii the finger is placed behind
it and looked at through the stone with
a magnifer the grain OF the skin will be
plainly visible ii the stone is not dia-
mond, but otherwise it will not be dis
tinguished at all. A diamond in solid
setting may be distinguished in the same
way; il genuine, the setting at the back
cannot be distinguished, but il false
stone, either the foil or the setting may
be plainly seen.
