The Switching Tariff.

Chicago. ILL, Nov. 24-As might have
been expected no action was taken to-day
by the managers of the lines in the Central
traffic association concerning the restora-
ton of the Chicago switching tariff, or a
discontinuance of charging carriage. There
was Il full attendance at the conference,
and at the outset there were some sanguine
enough 10 predict that the vote to restore
switching charges would be unani-
nous, but this prediction was
based upon the supposition that
the Chicago and Grand Trunk had
found its course improbable and was ready
TO surrender, but these people were not
long deceived. Traffic Manager Reeves as
sured the meeting that the attitude of the
Chicago and Grand Trunk was unchanged,
and that the Chicago managers need not ex-
pect to see the switching tariff re-estab-
lished in the very near future. Although
the discussion continued all day, Mr..
Reeves could nct be induced to recede an
inch from his position. 1t was decided in
the end that the cooperation of trunk lines
would be necessary for final action, and it
was agreed TO call a meeting of the joint
committee TO be held in New York Tues
day, December /, for consideration of the
subject.

Cures for sleeplessness are very nu.
merous, and before any man could
try them all he would be "asleep for
over" There are not few howevr,
which have stood the test OF time, and
are therefore worthy OF consideration.
A recommendation for putting
young children asleep is of Spanish
origin. 1t will be found particularly
suitable for afflicted fathers, who may
sometimes be at their wits end ''get-
ting baby asleep" 1t requires that
the back, from the neck to the waist,
be gently rubbed.
There is much in the Chinese theory
that sleeplessncss will be dispelled
when one rids the mind OF everythought
whatsoever.
A musician, during severe illness,
made his wife play the scale up and
down on small organ. Often afisr
he was asleep he would start slightly
and then sing what had put him to
sleep.
Horace, in his "Satires." recon-
meuds swimming the Tiber three times!
Sir Thomas Browne was accustomed
to repeat some verses OF q certain
hymn. Franklin took his air bath;
Sir John Sinclair counted, while Sir
John Rennie, when engaged upon any
public work, never went to sleep until
his head had been combed and gently
rubbed by some soft hand.
Perhaps the best remedy was that
discovered by q Mr.. Gardener. The
patient must lie on his right side SO
that the heart may have free action.
The breathing should be with closed
mouth, and the neck should lie easily.
Then the sufferer should imagine that
he sees the breath going out and in,
and q little persistent trying will soon
accomplish this. As soon as the mind
gets fixed on nonotony, sleep is the
result. ~

Mr.. Sherwood said he was very

but at one time she was thought to DO

was that the bottle had been drifting

Director Mcdonald Sid: We'll. there
is nothing extraordinary in the fact

One That Will Bring On an Attack
OF Paisy--Some Other Facts.
There are some very poisonous
grasses in the world. The plants are
not so, but they acquire their deadly
properties from certain fungi, which
attack them and invade their tissue.
Cattle eat them and perish. Some
times the seeds get mixed with grain
and poison people. One such species
has recently taken root in this coun-
try, and it may cause trouble yet. 1t
came from Europe and is known as
'lolium r Trembling grass it is
called, because it brings on a sort OF
palsy. sU ~ f
Two or three kinds OF coarse marsh
grass are used, particularly in Hol-.
land, to keep the soil from blowing or
being washed away on the banks OF
streams or canals. Their roots
form O. complex network beneath
the surface and hold the earth
together. Sugar cane is grass,
and 90 is sorghum. There are about
5000 species of grasses in the world,
and OF this number the United States
has 500 Of all sorts--marsh grasses,
dessert grasses, ect. There Is 3 cur
