why We sleep. !.

Probably nobody with any heart and
imagination Or spirit Of scientific in,
quiry in his brain has failed to sit up
nights, so to speak, to find out how he
goes to sleep. It is discovery that
none has yet made. One moment we
are broad awake. Next thing we know
We have been sound asleep for q longer
or shorter time. The process Of awaken
ing seems more gradual. and then we
often catch glimpses Of what the mind
has been about during the sleep life.
These glimpses indicate that our sleep
life is far more wonderful than our wax
ing life. DR.. Henry Wurz contributes to
The Popular Science Monthly paper
on the chemistry Of sleep. He compares
natural slumber with the process Of 60
ing to sleep under ansesthetica Among
the substances that produce insensibili-
~ none is better known than what is
commonly called carbonio acid gas,
known to chemists as carbon dioxide
gas. Its properties are 80 we'll under
stood that Parisians Of the poorer class
occasionally commit suicide by shutting
themselves up with vessel Of burning
charcoal Its fumes lull them to sleep,
and they never wake again. Now, in
our bodies, by mental and muscular ex-
srtion, this same gas is produced in large
quantities during the day. The system
is therefore more or less overloaded with
it. This produces the tired, sleepy feel
ing, DR.. Wurz thinks, and finally makes
us drop off into the land Of dreama
During our state Of quiescence and re-
pose we do not produce the carbon gas
in such quantities. The large amount
already in our systems is eliminated
through the lungs and through the in
sensible perspiration of the skin.
The absence of the gas in the morn
ing makes US feel bright wide awake
and refreshed. Then we can conquer
the world We bound out of bed and
begin the next days work, expanding
our forces, generating in our bodies the
carbon dioxide and loading up with it,
all ready for sweet Mother Nature to rid
us of it once more at night.

HOW LOBENGULA DIED.

Lonely Grandeur of the Last Hours Of the
Bloody King of Matabele Land.
A correspondent writing to South
African contemporary, supplies what he
states Is the true story OF the death Of the
great Matabele chief, Lobengula. 1t is a
pathetic story. The correspondent relates:
"Lobengula, suffering from smallpox,
worn out by his long flight, disappointed
in his hope of peace and altogether broken
down by the loss of his country, his power
and possessions, came to halt at last
among the mountains north of the Shan
gani river.
'Here he begged his witch doctor to give
him poison with which to end his life, but
the man refused. The despairing, chief
went up the hill to the foot Of the crag
which tops 1t, and sitting there he gazed
for q long time at the sun as it slowly
sank toward the west. Then, descending,
he again demanded poison of his doctor
and insisted till finally it was given him.
Once more ascending the slope, he seated
himself against the krantz, took the poison
and gazed at the setting sun, stolidly
awaiting the death which presently put an
end to his aufferings and his blood stained
life. ~#:. 5,I1 ~" ...~ g.
''There is something pathetic and grand
in the picture. 1t Is the last scene Of the
great epic, the conquest Of Malta eleland.
His followers found him seated there In
death, and piling stones and rocks around
him they left him. Whether he was placed
in his royal chair, fanked by guns and
covered over with his blankets and other
possessions, as described In The South
African Review. know not. All this
NAV ha trne and also that strong Doli-
SADIE of tree trunks was planted around
this spot, but give tho story as I heard
it and believe that, as it emanates from
Mr.. Dawson, it is the correct one. -

It would be the making of the Rio
Grande valley if the proposed huge dam
and reservoirs should be built across the
Rio Grande river at Ell Paso, storing
the waters in the rainy season SO
they could be used at need in the dry
season. This much is plain. But is it
quite so plain that the United States
government should build that dam:
Why would it not be better for some Of
our great capitalists who are now rath-
or glad to get 2 and 8 per cent for their
money to invest it in this great work?
It would be dead sure investment.

A friend of the sultan reports that he
reads, studies and works SO hard he does
not give himself time to sleep. Often
and often. says this enthusiastic friend,
the imperial Turk does not get mo-e
than couple Of hours sleep Of night.
If that is true, no wonder the Turkish
government is guilty of untold atroci-
ties. The man who sleeps only two hours
a night will either go insane, commit
suicide or die if he tries to keep up that
style Of working.

Whyte Melville once defined the diff
ference between pluck and nerve. Pluck,
be said, enabled man to do what he
was afraid to do Nerve is simply the
lack Of fear. The nervy man does risky
things because he never thinks of being
afraid. The plucky man goes on and
does the same things when he is afraid
to do them, but forces himself up to it
nevertheless. Which is the drawer man?

Located: Ray Humiston's.

IN the year 1868, Mr.. J. R. Watkins first began
the manufacture Of DR.. Wards Liniment. For
years he struggled along with limited means,
Striving with all his powers and at times despair
ing of success, but at last established living,
paying business, and made the name "Dr. Wards"
household word in thousands of homes. Dur
ing all these long years of toing and waiting,
MI. Watkins little thought that men could be
found so lost to every principle Of right and
Justice as to undertake to dcspoil him of his bus
fncss, and themselves to attempt to harvest the
fruits of his lifelong labors. However, in this
matter, he learned that he was mistaken. In
various parts of the country, sprang up bogus
agents offering medicines said to be DR.. Wards or
ssiust as good as Dr.. Wards" frequently leading
customers into thinking they had the genuine
article. Therefore, in order to protect his bust
ness and the public from being imposed upon,
Mr.. Watkins Bought from Richard Ward, the
worldwide right to use his name as trade
mark for full line of medicines, and caused the
same to be registered in the U. S. Patent Office

Rice is not mentioned in the Bible, as
it did not grow in the countries in which
Bible happenings occurred. Yet at that
time it was the chief food of millions of
people. Japan, China and the East Indies
have from time immenorial placed all
their hopes in the rice crop, although 1t is
apt to be uncertain. So important did
China consider the rice crop, that about
1900 years ago, the custom was Inaugural
ted of an annual scattering of rice grains
by the emperor himself, this being pro-
posed to propitiate the gods. In India, on
account of a like superstition, rice is used
in sacrificial ceremonies upon the altar
and as the food of the sacred fishes. 1t
has been claimed that the people who
subsisted largely upon a rice diet are de-
ficient in physical strength, but this is
disputed. In the countries where rice
is used people thrive in largest numbers.
The Chinese are not athletic, but one can
not in justice lay the blame on rice diet.
1t Is in Japan that the cultivation of rice
is carried to the highest degree of excel
lence. The fields are cut up into small
sections and plants are grown in seed
beds much as our tobacco is started.
Water is turned in through canals and
the plants kept submerged till nearly har-
vest time Two crops are gathered each
year. 1t has been been estimated that full
ly one-third of the population of the globe
subsists on rice as its principal food.
