Insomnia Parties,

From the Louisville Courier Journal
A society young woman Of this city has
devised a novel entertainment, which Is
shortly to be made public 1t is to be a
reception for people who can't sleep at
night" Among her friends, she says, are a
great many very delightful people who are
troubled with insomnia and who confess
that they spend many frightful, wakeful
hours walking the floor, looking out of the
window, rocking in easy chairs. trying to
read or write. and in other useless and
tresome occupations.
When her plans are fully matured this
original young woman intends on at least
two nights In every week to be Eat home''
to those distressed female friends from mid
night until morning. The guests are re-
quested to appear In any unique respectable
bedroom gown, bath robes not excluded
the lights are to be dim, soothing music
and stupid conversation will be the only
diversion permitted. hot chocolate and light
waters will be served. couches and EASY
chairs will be provided in abundance, and
the insomnia victims are earnestly desired
TO fall asleep as soon as possible
1t is whispered that prizes will be Offered
for the first snore, but this detail is NOT
automatically announced. The reception Is
to be fact, however. and an eager expec-
fancy as to invitations is in the air.

Bean POrrldge Hot

The chldren's game of Shaping hands to
the rhymes OF Bean porridge hot. bean
porridge cold" as now adapted for the use
OF adults. has fun in it in large solid
Chunks. 1t may be played by a room full
OF people. who are divided into fours In
each group the couples are so seated that
the hands of the second couple meet across
the hands of the first couple. As everybody
knows, the first motion is to slap the Ia nae
palm downward upon the knees; the second
is to slap the palms Of the appraised hands
together, and so on. In the revised and
enlarged form of the game the second
couple makes its first motion when the
first couple makes its second motion, and
the second couple continues thus always
one motion behind the first to avoid col
lision. When all the players are ready let
somebody sit down at the piano and begin

Preparing to DemOlish the Fair.

From the Chicago Herald.
Builders Of the worlds fair are now get
ting ready to tear the great exposition down.
More than a year elapsed between the time
Congress voted to send the exposition to
Chicago and the beginning Of operations in
Jackson Park. One day after the final clos
ing Of the gates on October 80 the work Of
destruction will begin. The organization is
already perfected for the destruction. 1t
only waits the word from Director General
Davis The word will be given on the morn
ing Of October 81.
How fast the exposition will fall cannot,
of course, be told now. Many elements Of
uncertainty enter into the question, not the
least Of which Is the state of the weather
during the closing days of October. If the
winds that sweep down over Lake Michigan
bring icicles and snow, little will be left at
the end Of a month but a remembrance Of
the gorgeous interiors. The buildings will
stay-most Of them for six months and
some Of them longer-but the exhibits will
be boxed and Grated and hauled away on
freight cars.

1t Was Older Than Methuselah and
Weighed Fifty-seven Tons.
From the South Bend Herald.
The largest whale which ever entered this
harbor. and one of the largest ever seen on
tnis coast, washed ashore at Tokeland on
Monoay. The news was Immediately
brought back by one of the morning steam
ers and the afternoon passenger boats were
crowded to their utmost capacity by the
throngs who were anxious to see the mon,
ster.
The steamer was just at the mouth of the
river when some one looking through a field
glass, discovered the object of curiosity
across the head Of the bay six miles away.
Immediately all eyes were turned that way,
and as the vessel neared the wharf the fish

A PSYCHOLOGICAL PUZZLE.
Moments of Carelessness in Cool
Headed Men Leading to COstl!

Moments Of Carelessness in Cool
Headed Men Leading to Costly
Blunders.
From the New York World.
Here Is a psychological puzzle for the ex-
perts. What made that brakeman on the
Wabash line turn the switch and let the ex-
press train plunge into the waiting freight
which stood on the siding? The accounts of
the disaster all agree that Thompson. the
brakeman, was a man Of experience in rail-
reading. "a trusted man, and of more than
ordinary intelligence" says the press dis
patch. His experience had included recent
repetitions Of the same conditions which
existed on the fatal night. He had fire.
Quently stopped at the same siding to let
the same train 60 by, very often in two
duty. The night of the wreck he knew that
the express was in two sections; he let the
first section go by, and then opened the
switch with the second section almost in
sight. Why did he do it? Not to wreck the
train and kill the passengers. His mind
wandered for a moment he forgot his
duty. forgot where he was and what he was
doing, and before he came to himself the
mischief was done. The mystery is that
this mental failure should come at such a
time, when all the conditions conspired to
produce unusual alertness.
Any one can recall a multitude Of such in
stances, some Of them / his own exper-
fence. We have all known of cool-headed,
vig1lant men who have made costly blum
ders in the familiar routine of their duties
blunders which were uneXpainable by any
ordinary relation of cause and effect Bust
ness men whose shrewdness and foresight
unaccountably desert them. athletes whose
coolness and skill depart when in the per-
formance Of familiar feat, cautious hunt
ers whose care in handling their guns Is
proverbial, who forget all this care in an
instant, and other instances innumerable
IL Is not 30 many years ago that such a
contradiction of habitual caution cost a
young business man, with q promising ca
reer before him, his life at railroad cross
ing He had crossed the track at that
number. He knew that a train passed a.
this time. nearly always met it and waited
10 ailow II to pass, but the night of his
ueatn ne stepped on the track with the
tram almost upon him and was killed. The
sentinels OF his brain. which always until
then nad warned him Of danger, were an
parentiy on duty that evening.
