Noddinr or to sleep.

The loss of voluntary power in person
sinking quietly into sleep is very grad
ual. An object is grasped by the hand
while yet awake-it is seen to be held
less and less firmly as sleep comes on,
till at last all power is gone, and it falls
away. The head of person in sitting
posture gradually loses the support of
the muscles which sustain it uprighs; it
droops by degrees and in the end falls
upon the chest. The head falls by the
withdrawal of power from particular
muscles, the slight shock thence ensuing
partially awakens and restores this pow
er, which again raises the head, and this
falling and raising, or in other words the
nodding, continues as long as the doing
off to sleep while in a sitting posture
continues.
At the precise moment when the mind
loses its consciousness there results
general relaxation of all the muscles. If
the body be at rest in lying posture,
there is no marked result, but if the
body be in an uneasy posture, such as
sitting, then the relaxation Of the mus
cles causes the falling of the head and
nodding described. Brooklyn Eagle.

in the parks a well known livery Of vio-

startling combination. However, as a
rule, good form and good taste are on
the side Of simplicity, and the habitual

Tn, Largest Block of conl.

An enormous cob of camel coal was
recently raised from the Abram col
lieries, Wigan, and sent by train to the
Alexandra dock, Liverpool, for shipment
to Boston. It is said to be the largest

CHICAGO, June 2l.--The tirst intima-
tion Governor Markhsm had of the
death OF Senator Stanford was tele-
gram which he received at 1890 this
afternoon. He was with friends in a
room at the California state building at
the worlds fair at the time. The shock
was 30 startling that for moment he
was completely overcome. A little later
q representative OF the Associated Press
called to see the governor and ask him
II he had anything to say as to who
would succeed Stanford. The governor
refused to be seen by any representa-
tives OF the press on that
or any other subject this afternoon.
He sent word by his secretary
that he was too much overcome by the
sad newa to think OF talking for publica-
ton.
"Senator Stanford was one OF my
dearest personal friends" he said, "and
it would be heartless in me to even
have thoughts at this time as to his sue
cessor. Stanford was one of California's
ablest public men. For the present l
have nothing to express, either publicly
or privately, as to who will succeed
him."

ers, save personal friends and the off.

President Stevenson would designate

is probable that this action will also be
followed by Speaker Crisp.
Senator and Mrs. Stanford's life In
this city was naturally very prominent
one. After Mrs. stanford laid aside
deep mourning foB the loss OF her aon,
she entertained every winter in most
elaborate style. Her dinners we're al
ways notable events and perhaps no
banquet in this city ever exceeded the
elegance OF dinner given in honor OF
President aud Mrs. Harrison. The
preparations made for Mrs. Stanford'e
afternoon receptions each winter were
no less marked. The humblest visitor
was made as welcome % the most
favored, and the resources OF the entire
establishment were at the pleasure OF
the great throngs who always came.
OF Senator Stanford's magnificent
gifts In the cause OF education and char
ity il is safe to say he never refused an
appeal, and frequently gave much more
than asked. Stanford, In all the great
undertakings which accumulated for
him such immense wealth. never started
any project, no matter how important
or simple, without talking il over with

WASHINGTON, June 2l.-The shipment
of gold from London to New York, news
OF which was received this morning, is
looked upon as showing that the tide in
gold exports has turned. For the past
three weeks no gold has been exported.
AS consequence the treasury depart
ment has been gaining gold during the
period, the net balance today standing
at $94 4,050,3l0 In the building up of
this gold the treasury department re-
deemed neatly $4,000, 900 gold certifi-

being $08,07O,000 against $l04,000,0 600

the receipts and expenditures OF
the treasury department kept about
even during the month, it is stated the
balance today lie $780, 42O, AIS; $l2,253, 900
is subsidiary silver and minor coin, and
$11, 1921 900 in national bank repositories.
The statement shows that the treasury
is provided with good working cur

it is probable, though as yet not de-
termined that it will anticipate the
quarterly interest due July 1st on
United States 4 per cent bonds and Pa

a like amount in active circulation in

ton was lifelong friend OF the deceased
capitalist, and their business and per-
sonal relations were rarely marred by
Misunderstanding. Mr.. Huntington
today said "We are deeply panied to
hear OF Governor Stanford's death. He
is the last OF my old part
nsrs in building and operating
railroads, and deeply feel his
loss. Our business connection runs
back for 80 years, and our acquai ntance
over 40 years. In business matters we
never had a jar in all the years of our
association. We did differ in respect to
some political matters, but as to those
we agreed to differ, but the leaf was
turned down upon all thoss differences
q long time ago, and our personal rela-
tions remained undisturbed at the time
of his death"
Ohauncey M. Depew paid the dead
senator high tribute. From the time
he first became known" said Mr.. Depew,
"Mr. Stanford was distinguished for his
good judgment and clear insight into the
future. His invaluable advice, counsel
and help to men who built the railway
systems OF California and the Central
and Southern Pacific railroads, did much
toward the successful completion of the
lines. In politics his death will be q
serious loss to the party on the coast"

In Eating

introduction Of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery Of this product, and the
demonstration of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is we'll known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, CoTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE

with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color, a delicate flavor,
and an appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the

WASHINGTON, June 21.-The news of
Senator Stanford's death was received
in Washington with some degree OF sur
prise, although all bis friends knew his
advanced age and feeble health augured
his decease within a not very great
period. Stanford was last in Washington
in April. He WAS very feeble, and
seemingly on the verge of dissolution.
He called on President Cleveland at that
time, and q number Of congressman who
saw him at the White House sorrowfully
predicted that his end was not far off.
for several years Stanford had been go
feeble that he required the assistan of
q servant to enable him to move about.
Rheumatism, added to the debility of
old age, caused him much suffering,
Two years ago he went abroad to try
the medicinal waters of European
health resort. He returned to America
apparently in better health. Since then
he has travelled great deal between
California and Washington, accompa-
MED always by his devoted wife, but his
feebleness increased noticeably. Not
withdrawing his condition, his death at
this time was unexpected and caused
something of shock to those who
knew him.
