HINTS TO sLEEPERs.

dlN1 . LIZ C1LLLICh
There has been considerable discus
sion as to what is the best position to lie
in, in sleep. Most physicians will tell
you that it is on the right side, but here
no definite directions can be given. A
weakness of the lungs may cause the
sleeper to rest more comfortably on the
left side. Again, in depressing illness,
the patient unusually lies fiat on his back,
and this position seems, in general, to
contribute the greatest amount of rest
to the muscles, yet few people would
find it comfortable to sleep in this posi-
ton. A position which has been advo-
Gated with considerable show of reason
is that of lying partly on the face. All
these positions have been advocated,
and probably no healthful person sleeps
altogether in either one of them, but
varies his position to all of them during
his resting hours.
The best bed coverings are light wool
en- blankets The impervious cotton
comfortables so much used are the most
unwholesome of any covering. A hair
mattress, as is conceded now, is the very
best bed, and a single mattress with q
set of good springs is all-suficient.
Where there are two mattresses over the
springs they are pot as likely to be well
aired, and therefore are more likely to
retain the exhalations of sleep. A good
hair bolster is the most wholesome head
rest, but many persons prefer a feather
bolster, because they are not used to it.
Sleeping with a number of pillows under
the head is certainly injurious, as it
tends to raise the head into a cramped,
unnatural position. The fashion of
double beds is one greatly tobe depre-
Gated, and two single beds placed side by
side are taking their place in many cases.
So high an authority as ''The London
Lancet says, in discussing the question::
Nothing will SO derange the nervous
system Of a person who is eliminative in
nervous force rs to lie all night in bed
with another who is absorbent of nerv-
Gus force. The later will sleep soundly
all night and arise refreshed in the morn
ing, while the former will toss restlessly,
and awake in the morning fretful. No
two persons, no matter who they are
are, should habitually sleep together.
The one will thrive, the other will lose"

One of Conan Doyle's Characters.

It is said by pr. Conan Doyle that the man who suggested to him the wonder fully intuitive and observant character, Sherlock Holmes, was pr. Joseph Bell, of Edinburgh. His intuitive powers," Dr. Doyle says, "were simply marvel ous. Case No. would step up. I see,' said MT. Bell, you're suffering from drink. Ton even carry flask in the inside breast pocket of your coat.
 Another case would come forward.
 "Cobbler, see.' Then he would turn to the students and point out to them that the inside of the knee of the mans trousers was worn. That was where the man had rested the lapstone-a pecu- liarity only found in cobblers. All this impressed me very much. He was con- tinually before me--his sharp, piercing gray eyes, eagle nose and striking fea- tures." This is the personality which is embodied in great measure in Sherlock Holmes--a character not the least inter esting in current fiction.-New York Tribune,

 Clearly, the Siamcse villagers are to ke tested in some more perfect way than krencmnen would bear, and the addi- Eonal way is obviously the introduction of the intestinal virus.

HORRIBLE FATE. Two Men Dashed to a Sudden Death. A Railway Catastrophe
 in Mexico. Cars Break Their Coupling on a Mountain Side. They Crash Into the Engine of a Freight Train at Lightning
 Speed.

MONTEREY, Mexico, Nov. 2l.-tAsso- gstei Press.l The particulars of one of lhe most remarkable and exciting rail- xosd accidents that ever occurred in Mexico have reached here. The catas- Gophe occurred four days ago on the Mexican National line. The grade of Nhe road from this city for a distance of ninety miles beyond SaltiIlo is very steep. On Sunday afternoon double Headed train was pulling trainload of aBrn up the mountain side when the coupling broke. releasing the caboose spd six cars, filled with corn, from the Gain.
 James Martin, the conductor, and Frank Harwood, brakeman. tried 10 Et the brakes, but they were powerless to sjop the increasing momentum of the Crs down the mountain. Within a distance of six miles, the train was run ning at a speed of ninety miles an hour. Te cars began jumping the track end Martin and Harwood both went down, meeting terrible death. Before Sal 01lo was reached. all the cars, with the Exception of the caboose and one other, Rad left the track. The two continued Qeir mad flight. passing through the <ilo yards at the rate of fully I20 miles an hour. The train dispatcher q Saltillo was terrorized when he saw be cars pass, as he knew they were Grtain to crush into the double-headed Eeight that was pulling up the noun tain twenty miles below Salti,Io.
 He could give the train no warning, sp he did the next best thing by having the wrecking train ordered out. The choose and loaded car kept to the Gack. Frank Davis, the engineer of Ce up train, saw them coming down Ge mountain, but too late to save him Gii. HIs fireman and the crew of the Ccond engine jumped and received but sSght injuries. Davis was buried under gpile of corn and debrls. Both engines We're completely dismantled.

A Story of Jnmeh Pawn.

Referring to the difficulty often ex- perienced in identifying individuals, MT. James Payn instances the following amusing example,:
 When was a boy at Eton a cousin of mine, professional man in Windsor, had procured the right to fish in Virginia water, and l sometimes went out with him, but of course without a rod-l got that when returned to school for being late.
 One day he was set upon by the keep CTS and accused of poaching. My name is So-and-so," he said, "and you will find it on the list of those who have permis- sion." It was on the list, sure enough, but they were dissatisfied with his iden- tity. They said rather rudely that he did not look like privileged person of any kind. Where was his card? Un- fortunately he had no card. They said that was only what they expected; he did not look like person who had visit ing cards.
 You must come along with us; we take you into custody-both of you" Perhaps the personal peril sharpened my wits, for suddenly exclaimed, "Is not your handkerchief marked with your name?" He was a bachelor, and nobody had inscribed it with her hair or otherwise, but my remark suggested way out of the difficulty. Though his handkerchief was not marked his linen was. and he triumphantly showed it. To such shifts are some people-literally
 put in order to establish their iden- t,f,.

situations. A French audience appreci- ates an intellectual character and esprit of the play which an English audience finds unintelligible and tiresome.
 Ouida adds that if Racine and Moliere were alive they would write plays for Mounet Sully and the Coquelins. Were Shakespeare and Sheridan alive they would certainly write poems and novels. An audience capable of accepting Mary Anderson as a tragic actress is incapable of knowing good from bad. English audiences are nncultured. With few exceptions Eng fish actors and actresses act i'll. They never merge themselves into the char acter they represent. These, according to Ouida, are the reasons that have kept writers of eminence off the English stage since the days of Lytton.

We violate no confidence when we say that as work of art the discovery celebration invitation sent out by the city of New York knocks the spots clean out of the invitation sent out by the city of Chicago.

For Whitening and Purifying the Skin.

Pyrozone is simply hydrogen dioxide in ether, and it is valuable in removing certain skin growths and eruptions, such as flat wart and overlapping skin. An uneven skin can thus often be made smooth and and soft to the touch by proper application of this mixture. At first it whitens the skin unnaturally, and is accompanied by slight twinges of pain. Blistering does not occur, although the surrounding redness shows that the drug is powerful in its effect. Dermatol is a new drug that has been used for skin diseases, and it is formed by combina- tion of gallic acid and bismuth. It is a fine yellow in appearance and is perfect ly odorless, nonroisonous and nonirritat- ing.
 When the powder, or solution of it, is applied to the skin thece is no irritat- ing effect, and no pain results from it when applied to wounds and ulcers. Nevertheless its action is beneficial, and it prevents the growth of micro-organ- isms, and heals up skin and flesh wounds easily. Burns of the skin can be healed up better with dermatol than any other drug, and it prevents to large extent the disfgCsing results which burns gen erally leave behind. 1t is more valuable in cleansing and purifying the skin than for destroying parasitic diseases.- Yankee Blade.
