we're direct descendants as late as a cen.
fury ago.
The stories were first put into circula-
ton in 1888 in q publication called Mer-
cure Gallant, and were then based upon
discoveries made by a certain Father
Vignier among some old manuscripts in
Metz. The first document was record
Of the visit of Jeanne, the Maid of Or
leans, to her relatives in that city, and
subsequently there was discovered a mar
rage contract of Robert DIES Armoises
with "Jeanne of Arc, the Maid of Or
leans" the marriage having taken place
at Arlon, where the Duchesse Elizabeth
of Luxembourg made a splendid fete of
the occasion.
The deed in which the "Maid" and her
husband conveyed certain land was also
found, and subsequently at Orleans in
the public archives there were discovered
various entries in the public accounts
that went to show that moneys had been
paid to her or for her to her relatives at
various times after she was supposed to
have been burned OF the stake. These
documents have made it absolutely GER
tain that somebody who was known as
Jeanne dare" and "The Maid of Or
leans" was living and somewhat of pub
lie character for many years after the
original Jeanne had presumably been re-
duced to ashes. The advocates of the
original Jeanne. however, insist that the
woman to whom the documents refer
must have been different one, either an
impostor or q woman whom some con-
nection with the army had caused the
people of her acquaintance to designate
by the title of the dead heroine.

SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.

why So Many People Wake In the Morn

sleeplessness is simply rapid road to the IN.
sane asylum. Madness with completely shn,.
tered brain and nerves stares In the face ,ha.
unfortunate who passes walkefui, restless, ,os.-
ing, weary nights. No greater calamity can
befall a person than to become sleepless. What
wonder that there are so many shattered nerves.
tired brains and and bebilitated bodies. when we
consider the thousands upon thousands who pass
sleepless or disturbed nights and rise mornings
feeling indescribably miserable, drag ged
out, scarcely able to face the days work! What
wonder that so many rise mornings from their
beds, where they have lain with weary lids and
sleepess eyes, tossing from side to side, or simply
catching Short undressing maps, filled with
dreams, feeling heavy headed, irritable with pale
face, haogard looks, dull and heavy ringed eyes,
and go about their daily employment with tired
limbs, exhausted energies, nerve,ess and
ambitionless.
Myriads of people thus allow themselves to
drift towards the awful verge of insanity, sui
eide, softenfng of the brain, paralysis, idio-
cy, &c., without knowing or realizing the fearful
consequences. Men allow care, anxiety or bust.
ness troubles to drive sleep from their eyelids,
while women, with unstrung nerves and excitea-
BILE temperament, pass hours upon hours each
night in sleepless, restless misery

the carriage door, handed out lady
