Pretty Scene.

A pretty little scene was witnessed
yesterday at north side street cross
ing. A '3-year-old child, with glow
ing cheeks and sparkling eyes, hold
ing tightly clasped in his chubby fin
gers bright new penny, was toddling
with all the possible speed of his little
limbs toward the nearest candy store.
He came to the crossing just as a
teamster came along. with a heavily
laden truck which taxed the horses
strength to the utmost. The child
started for the opposite sidewalk, but
stopped hesitatingly on seeing the
wagon. With O loud ''WhoaP the
driver pulled up his horses, and with
o smile lighting up his rugged face
waved his whip, motioning for tho
little fellow to proceed. The boy ran
across the street, and, turning around
when he reached the pavement, stood
for an instant watching the horses as
thoy tuggcd and strained to start their
heavy load again. Then he raised his
hands to his lips and waited kiss at
the driver, who lifted his hat with
courtly gfaco and then waited back
the little love messenger Then there
were further interchanges Of kisses
and smiles. and the wagon rolled
down the, street and the little gentle
man .toddled on toward tho candy
store. Chicago Tribune, es1s

Recipes for sleeplessness continue to
present themselves "A correspondent of
The Lancet has, found the following to be
On effectual remedy in his own case:
After taking deep inspiration he holds
his breath till discomfort is felt, then re-
peats tho process q second and a. third
time. AS a rule this is enough to pro-
J cure sleep. A slight degree OF asphyxia
is thus relied on as a soporiflc agent hut
the theoretical correctness of this method
is somewhat open to question. Ger
tainly there is proof to show that the
daily expenditure Of oxygen is most act
i've during the waking period, and that
nightly sleep appears to coincide with a
period of deficient tissue oxygenation.
1t is at least as probable, however, that
other influences are associated with the
production and timely recurrence OF sleep
besides that just referred to. This plan,
moreover, however effectual and bene-
.fcial. in the case of its author is mot
without its disad dvantagea Ffts ahdei.cy
of deficient oxygenation is to increase
blood pressure. and slow the hearts ac-
ton. With o normal organ, as an occa-
sional occurrence, this might not be Of
much consequence If, however, the
impeded heart should also be enfeebled by
disease, the experiment might be re-
peated once too often. aq9 1n,Tg 81
Another combatant in the struggle
with insomnia lays down q. series of
rules, for the most part very sensible. to
which he pins his filth, Considering
that the chief causes Of sleeplessness are
worry and the want ofea due amount of
exercise and fresh air. he advises his fell
low sufferers to. observe. the ordinary
rules of hygiene relating to such matters,
to take food and drink in moderation
and to avoid Of an evening tho use Of
tea, coffee and tobacco. In dealing with
severe nervous. irritation from mental or
physical work, he has found a daily rest
an almost essential prelude to sleep at
night. Thus he treats of sleeplessness
rather as a tendency requiring constitu-
tional remedies than symptonlof mere
brain excitation. There is much to be said
for his theory and means of treatment

THEY LIVED AND DIED TOGETHER.
-Caernavoon, Pa. Jan. 5.--Mr. anc
Mrs. William Smith, aged and highly
respectable people, have just been
buried together. Ever since their mar
'iage they spent their lives quietly on
fiue piece of property in this district,
apd they we're rarely separated from
each other. One of their fondest hopes
frequently expressed, was that when one
should die the other would quickly fol-
low. They were earnest Christian peo-
pie; fondly attached to each other, and
frequently included in their prayers a
petition thet both should be taken to
heaven together when the Lord was
ready. Mrs. Smith was taken sick with
pneumonia. She was tenderly nursed
by tho husband and others, but death
came in a few days. i will soon follow,
said the husband, as the wife breathed d
her last. The husband was then taken
sick and died on the day set apart for
tho funeral Of his wife.
