CURES FOR INSOMNIA.

Lie in bed without pillow. Apoplexy may be induced by this means and insom- mia greatly alleviated by the cheerful nov city of an untried, dangerous, unbecom- ing and highly expensive disease.
 Take hearty lunch and brisk walk be- fore rctiring. This will probably give you indigestion and nightmare, so that your sleeplcss condition can justiflably be extended to and enjoyed by all other mem Lcrs of the hOuschuld.
 Cndress in the dark By the tsno you have fallen over all the furniture in the room you will understand why this GUS tom is fashionable iE Paris and Boston. Its dcvotecs want to get wide awake So they can sit up all night and read ZOla and Emerson.
 Concentrate your mind on respiration and breathe with CXaggcratiOn. This also is calculated to arouse the house, and the pleasant remarks of those who surround your bed will diffuse a gratifying jocose- ness through what small portion of the night may yet rcmain-
 Sponge all over with tepid water several times beforc getting into bed. If this hy. gicnic evolution Is properly and carefully performed. 1t will be breakfast time when you are through and thus will be saved one entire nights wear and tear on tho mattress and bedclothes.
 If you arc just falling into a doze and feel the folding bed closing, hear burglar getting in or smell the house on fire, don't move a muscle. One who has insomni; has business of her own to attend to, ant the people who own the house ought tG have sense enough to take care of it.-Nev I York World

An American Fable.

Once upon n time, when tramps wcre known by tho name of wayfarers, ono of the species camc along to n farmhouse at dusk of evening and asked for food and lodgings.
 Get thce goncI'' promptly rcplicd the farmer as he came to the door. If had my way about 1t, every wayfarrr who struck Pike county would git thrcc months in jail. !"
 But faint with hungCr."
 Faint and bc durnCd, but don't fall on my land when you faint"
 And I shall suffer from the inclcmcncy of the night
 Cane help thatl don't run the weather around hCrc. I'll hold tho bull dog jest two minits and then let him EO.' The wayfarcr turned away with grief and desolation eating at his heart and trudgcd onward. but as he passed the farmers barn he saw flames at work in one corner of 1t. The hired man had ab sentmindly thrown the stub of his cigar among the hay. Left to itself, the flames would soon have wrapped the whole struc- turo in their fiery embrace, but the way farer lost not an instant in springing for ward and tramplinR them out When he had finished, he called to the farmer, and when the latter realized what had happen ed he said:
 "I turned you from my door with harsh words, and yet you requitc me with n mo- ble decd. Como in and have some hot bis cult and honey and n feather bed, and from this time on every wayfarcr who calls hero shall be entertained"
 MORAL
 After entertaining wayfarcrs for the next fivo years tho farmer began to figurc up. Had the barn burned the loss over insur- ance would have been S2O0; entertain mcnt for wayfarers, about $500. lt'sa cold day when the wayfarcr gets left.

 General Butler went on: II don't sup pose you are, but you can find mo at any time.'
 General Butler made some reference to blackguards bowling him.
 Governor Tillman promptly replied. shaking his finger in General Buffers face: Yes, blackguards have full sway in this state now, and you are one of those who helped to enact the antidueling law about 15 years ago, and a gentleman can no longer obtain satisfaction for an in- suit. I'm not afraid"
 General Butler-That don't make any difference. I'll meet you anywhere and in any way.

 This seemed to leave things as uncer- tain as evei with General Butler and Gov ernor Tillman. Governor Tillman held that the matter should have been explain ed to him by General Butler.
 Finally the trouble broke when Gen. eral Butler said: All that has nothing to do with 1t, and I want to say that you per petrated deliberate fraud today. have como to tell you that these matters must Do settled personally, and I'll meet you anywherc.' ''
