How to Induce Sleep.

One of the most effective ind ucers
to sleep is warm saltwater bath
taken before retiring. This will al
most always put a restless child to
slumber if it is well, and if it is well
fed after its bath Sleeplessness in an
adult is more difficult to contend with.
A warm salt bath may not always act
as quickly, but it is worth trying. If
there Is any tendency to cold feet, put
a warm bottle TO the feet after bath
ing. and in many cases restful sleep
will follow. 1t is far better to resort
10 every subterfuge to induce sleep be-
fore resorting to any sleeping draught.
Sometimes a few crackers or something
else eaten just before retiring will
induce sleep when nothing else will.
For this purpose many people keep
a cracker-jar in their rooms. The thin
wafer crackers are excellent for this
purpose.
For the dry, burning sensations in
the palms of the hands and soles of
the feet which induce sleeplessness,
sponge them in ammonia and water or
vinegar and water. The continued
dwelling on certain thought may be
of virtue. Al frequent remedy of this
kind is to imagine an endless flock of
sheep stepping one by one over stile.
The continual monotony of the imag-
mary movement will soon put wide
awake person to sleep. A famous
physician put his sleepless patients to
slumber by any arrangement by which
they listened to the constant dropping
of water, drop by drop, on metal. If
a person is habitually wakeful at
night it is wise to give up tea and cof-
fee at night, and drink in their place a
bowl of fresh milk heated quite hot

"FOur Of SANKEY'S men and one

and came by way of Noemro and

on which they rested. Emin and

Although on good terms with the

Mormonism.

The expose which has been made
during the last few days in the
pending Mormon trial Of the abuses
immoralities, and disloyalty of the
Endowment House clearly illus.
trates the infamies of the polyga-
nous institution which has so long
disgraced the country. In previous
testimony 1t has been shown by
M0rm0ns themselves that the prom
inent leaders If their church not
only practiced the most disgusting
lechery, but have not hesiSated to
commit murder to carry out their
plans and to punish those who have
been reluctant to obey the chuch.
The witness on the stand last
Saturday was John Henry Smith,
one Of the twelve apostles Of the
church, who spoke with authority.
BY his sworn testimony it appears
that he ard his associates decided
for themselves the c0nstitutionality
Of the law Of Congress forbidding
polygamy even after the United
States Supreme Court had pro.
nounced 1t constitutional, and
thereby openly and deAantly pro.
claimed their disloyalty to the Gov
eminent. He admitted further
that the frst wife had to give hel
consent to the plural marriage or be
forever damned, and that even Il
she refused 1t her husband could
take a second or third wife without
her consent, and that the members
of the Mormon Church were com
; PEELED to obey their leaders in al
things, political, spiritual, or tenn
} poral. Polygamy is thus justified
: In spite Of the law, and disloyalty Il
openly proclaimed. 1t is eviden
that the duty of the Government Il
, not yet at an end, and that the time
is speedily coming when sternel
, measures will have to be adopted II

tuition, supported on one hand b.

: hand by feminine consent and tn
