TREATMENT OF INSOMNIA.

Benefits Resulting from y Warm salt Bath
Taken Before Retiring.
One of the most effective inducers to
sleep is warm salt bath taken before
retiring. This will almost always put
q restless child to slumber if it is we'll,
and if it is well fed after its bath.
Sleeplessness in an adult is more diff
cult to contend with. A warm salt
bath may not always act as quickly.
but it is worth trying. 1: there is any
tendency to cold feet, put warm bot
tie at the feet after bathing, and in
many cases restful sleep will follow.
1t is far better to resort to every sub
terfuge to induce sleep before resorting
to any sleeping draught. Sometimes q
few crackers or something else eaten
just before retiring will induce sleep
when nothing else will. For this pur-
pose many people keep cracker-jar
in their rooms. The thin wafer crack
ers are excellent for this purpose. For

MENTAL AlERTNESS.
Why 1t 10 tho Hardest Part OF Any Ones
Business.

Why 1t 10 tho Hardest Part Of Any Ones
Business.
There are different ways of being
busy, and the busiest way of all is that
which often looks least like business.
1t is sometimes derisively said that one
is ..busy doing nothing" But doing
nothing" may mean one thing to one
kind of worker, and another thing to
another kind. ''Your work is only
headwork." said the college white
washer to the college professor, quite
contemptuous!y. The locomotive en-
gineer on the lookout of the fast ex-
press. with his hand on the throttle,
may seem to the purely physical labor
er, or to the purely intellectual toiler.
to be ''busy doing nothing" He calls
no muscle into action, he involves no
abstract thought. no philosophy. no
science. He appears to be enjoying
the view from his cab-window just
about as idly and complacently as does
the recreating tourist behind him.
whose very life is committed to the in
active hands of that engineer. The
engineer to all appearance is ''busy
doing nothing" But the difference is
that the tOurist-passenger is inert.
while the engineer is alert. And this
unbroken alertness. this sense of a
tremendous responsibility unified for
one moment, is the busiest of all ways
OF being busy. Every muscle is ready.
every nerve is tense. The whole man.
physical, mental, moral. is exhaustingly
engaged-albeit the whole man may
outwardly seem to be doing nothing"
The hardest part of any ones business
is that part of it which lives and dies
within himself. The unceasing, un-
broken alertness, the ever-conscious re-
sponsibility for right action at the right
time. is the busiest of all businesses,
tle first business of every business-of
every life.-S S. Times.

The sale of street ends, the feast
bility OF which Is now in the hands Of
"A committee of the Council for re-
port, would seem to be more fanci-
full than practicable idea. The al
legged power to sell is thought to be
conveyed by statute passed at the
last legislature which enables cities
having lands or lots which they had
acquired for certain purposes, such as
school building lots, &c, to sell the
same when no longer in use for their
original porpose. This frequently
happens in such city as Chicago,
where new school buildings or engine
honscs take the place of old ones on
different sites, the latter by the act
in question being then subject to a

TO LEGALIZE ROBBERY.

What kind Of people are they up IN
North Dakota, anyhow? While every
state in the Union except one has
put its foot down on lotteries as the
! bascst, most vicious, rulnOus and dis
honest of all kinds Of gambling, \.
Dakota is actually about to throw
wide open its doors and invite the
entrance within its borders Of this
vile system Of swindlng and robbery.
The excuse is, in the first place,
| that the State treasury Is hopelessly
empty, and the State itself bankrupt,
while the Louisiana State Lottery,
whose charter is soon to expire, alone
offers effective relief by paying into
the treasury 100000 year for the
privileges Of TRANSFERRING its business to
n. Dakota, and that various other
wealthy concerns are ready 10 pay
equally high licenses for the same
privilege; and, secondly, that to have
lotteries at home will keep from going
out of the state vast sums that are
now sent annually to Louisiana and
even to Europe, where this species OF
gambling at few points is still toIer-
atcd, and will turn the tide so that
these and much larger sums will flow
into Dakota.
1t would be Il great deal more to the
credit of that state If it offered liberal
licenses to gambling hells of all kinds,
to faro banks, sweat cloths, poker
dcns, &c, &c. At these games there
is something like fairness, at least.
At faro the percentage in favor OF the
dealer is comparatively small: at dice
the chances are supposed to be even,
and draw poker is almost purely IA
game of skill, at which the best player
wins in the long run.
But "A lottery is all one-sided. More
than half the money paid for tickets
is gobblcd by the management itself,
and the prizes are so arranged that
large proportion are drawn by unsold
tickets and the money drops into the
same till At each drawing IA few
prizes, ranging from 1000 to 81, 900,
are allowed to be drawn, and these,
together with others alleged to have
been drawn, are duly blazoncd abroad
to captiyate the greedy, stupid, limo
cent dpltS Who are really foolish
enough to imagine money can be made
in that way. Why, my good sir,
though you buy dozen tickets II
month for ten years, You stand 1000
chances Of being struck by tightening
to one of drawing IA capital prize. We
have seen statement somewhere
that the Louisiana State Lottery
takes in ~, DOC, 600 a year and pays out
less than $5OO,0OO year in prizes. y

on game like that is tit only FOR

One Of the most unworldly young
men who ever stood in the dock o f a
police court, was up before Judge
Weeks Wcdesnday afternoon charged
with picking the pocket of John
Shaddock, farmer from Sandwich.
The culprit, Robert Fleming, of
Marscilles, has been frequenter of
the saloons about town for several
weeks, and on Tuesday evening be-
came acquainted with Shaddock in a
down town saloon. Shaddock had
money and was in IA spending mood,
and as Fleming had nothing else to
do he assisted him in diSpoSing of it,.
At two o'clock Wednesday morning
Officer Fischer met the pair at the
corner of Superior and Columbus
streets and asked where they were GO
ing, as Shaddock was very drunk.
Fleming answered that they were 60
ing to Marselles, when Shaddock
broke in and said they were bound for
Sandwich. Then Fleming seeing his
error hastily remarked that they were
looking for a bed, but, at this. Shad-
dock pushed him away, saying that he
(Fleming) had placed his hand in his
pocket and attempted to rob him and
ne wanted MIN W 20 away. TitilllS
edged away and ran down the street,
while Officer Fischer locked ShaddOck
up in the cooler, when he found that
his watch was gone
Officers DAILY and Moloney were i'm
mediately notified, and after a short
search, Officer DAILY found Fleming in
Whites hotel. He asked him to step
outside and then searched him, but
did not find thewatch. He then told
Fleming that if he did not produce
the watch he would send him up for
fifteen years. and the unworldly
youth. cowed by the gigantic bluff,
went out to one of the outbuildings
where he had concealed the ticker"
and tished it from hole in the side
OF the wall
When this tale of woe and bluff was
told before Judge Weeks, Fleming had
no defense to make, and in default of
$500 bail. was committed to the
care of Sheriff MCrr'ssey TO await the
action of the grand Jury.

aS the number Of ends that could
safely be sold, which have any con-

after all, very small. There are per

fewer in East Ottawa, and one or two

While the people Of the L. S. I'M
doubtcdly admire pluck, and Mr..
Speaker Reed relies on that cir
cnmstancc to be sustained in his pres
ent arbitrary course, he may find that
the people have discovered that his
pluck is nothing but an cyil-designed
bullheadneSs, and that the people do
not admire. At the bottom of all the
trouble is the absence Of rules. and at
set is Speaker Reed himself, who,
however has never yet called the com
mttee together to consider the sub
ject. Meantime he expects to bull
the business through in his own way
and make rules to suit himself. One
notable rule he has made, contrary to
all precedent, is to count non-voting
members as present to make up quo
rum; and another is, to refuse to en-
terrain any motion that don't suit
him by deciding that it is "dilatory."
The excuse he gives for the inyen-
ton and application Of these arbitrary
rules is, that without them it would
be impossible for the republicans to
maintain quorum, or, to do any bust
ness. This is mere pretence. Every
body knows the general business Of
tho house always goes on without the
least trouble, and that it is only when
it is attempted to railroad through
some mere party business, which is
the most useless of all to the country,
that the democratic minority would
insist that the republicans must pass
their party measures by "A party ma
jority. When the country gets to

The gubernatorial contest which
has been pending before the West Nir-
gina legislature for over sixteen
months was brought to close on
Tuesday. The STRAW that broke the
camcls back was proof positive Of
attempts by agents of Golf to bride a
couple of Democratic members. This
won to the side of Fleming the vote of
the president of the senate and that
of labor union member, who had
hitherto acted with the Republicans,
and Fleming was declared governor by
IA vote of 43 to 49, There never was q
doubt of his legal election, but the
legislature being tie between the
parties, the decision in his favor was
STAYED Off until now. The Democrats
have been thoroughly aroused by the
contest, and say it is the last, for no
Republican will ever again come as
near being elected governor as Golf
was.
