Don't Sleep After Eating.

1t is indeed hard. in this day of dis
agreeing doctors. for common mOrtalS
10 know Just what to do to preserve
their health. Doctors used to say that
Deople should never retire hungry: that
they should eat before sleeping. thus
following the example set by the lower
animals. Now one Of the most learned
phTSiciauS in Europe-Dr. Schulc. Of
Fribourg comes out with the theory.
based on several recent experiments.
thai Ii must not sleep just after eat
ing. The experiments were made on
two normal subjects. The contents of
the stomach were analysed Il few hours
after meals. Som" o. which were follow
ed by sleep ana some were not. and
the results indicate that sleep Weakers

Acidity of the gastric juice is Increased.
On the other hand. simple repusc in "a
horizontal position stimulates The mo-
tiGn of the stomach without increasing
the ac:ditv Ct the gastric juice. Il is
concluded. therefore. that one should
stretch himself ont for n rest after a
heavy meal, but should not go 10 sleep.
especially if the stomach is in a dilatcl
condition or is juices very acid.

leaning There Is an Occupation of
Dreadful Fatality to Horses.

Dreadful Fatality to Horses.
The dendlicst occupation for men or
horses is tcaming in the boraX fields
of Death valley in the great American
desert. There the longest teams in the
world are employed. Scientists de
clare that the fierce heat in this mar
row rem in the cracked surface of the
earth is not equaled elsewhere in the
world. When the thermometer often
registers $40 degrees of heat. unre-
heved by even a breath Of air; where
men sleep at night in shallow bitches
filled with water in order to avoid dy-
ing from collapse. the necessity for
the longest teams of mules AMI horses
eve harnassed to draw the great boraN
laden wagons is apparent.
The percentage of deaths among the
horses used in teaming is greater than
that of domestic animals used in any
other calling. Forty to sixty horses
are often hitched to II OF the lun-
boring vehicles in which the bOrax is
slowly dragged across the sun-baked
alkali plains. The average life of even
the sturdiest horses used in this work
is six months, for in this length of
time they either become brokcn-wind-
ed. conSumptive from inhnling the
deadly dust of the desert. or are driven
crazy by the frightful heat.
A man there. though protected by
the wagon awnings from the suns
rays, cannot go an hour without water
without danger of death. When a
team breaks down and the water sup
ply becomes depleted the men ride at
top speed for the nearest source OF
supply, and often when they return
they find that the remaining horses,
made mad by thirst, have broken from
their harness and dashed Off only to
find death in the desert.
The boraX wagons weigh 5000
pounds and carry 10000 pounds at a
load. Behind each wagon is a tank
containing hundreds Of gallons Of VIZ
ter. The horses are hlrncSSeu in pairs.
the trained one in the lead, and the
tongue, while the unruly and the
youngsters are hitclled between. The
nigh leader has a bride with the strap
from the left Jaw shorter than the
other. and from this bride runs a
braided rope which the driver. percled
on the wagon seat, holds in his right
hand.
The rore is called the clerk line
and is a little longer than the team.
which stretches out several hundred
feet in front Of the wagon. During
the busy season the boraX wagons
make an almost continuous train, and
the horses alone if placed in single
| file would make Il team more than q
hundred miles long.
Besides a little food and water the
poor animals get no care. They curry
themselves by rolling in the burning
sand. After a few months of this kill
ing labor the poor creatures become
unfit for service. a kindly rifle bail
then ends their agony. and their emu
ciatcd carcaSses are left alongside the
trail to furnish scant picking for the
lowering vulture

pal characteristics have been given, to-
Gether with the lines which represent
them, OF the persons who had their
hands read. and comparison is made
easy to those who choose to try.
Hand No. 1 belongs to the square
or useful type. The leading charac-
tcristics are symmetry and eXactitude
of thought and habit. A person with
little Imagination or originality. One
who disbelieves all she cannot under
stand would have such a hand. She
does not allow herself to be influenced
by prejudice. but will examine every
thing before coming to Il conclusion,
and should follow a career involving
logic and reason. She is very orderly;
has a place for everything. She is po-
lite and courteous in her manners. A
great rcsDccter Of persons and stickler
for social etiquette. Sic is very merry
oUs alld sensitive, ana has a very level
hcaded way Of going to work, ever
when doing Imaginative work. She is
soif-cGntidcut. energetic and has Il 60

hard and should take plenty of eXer-
ciSn outdoors. as her constitution is in
hicatcd to be weak b. The many deep
cross lines on the finger tips. She is
fond Of admiration. Il fiatterer. and
susceptible to h~attery herself. The up
per line running across the hand is
the heart line, relating to all things
connected with the affections. In this
case it is much crowded with little
lines, denoting a strong tendency to
Irritation. The second line crossing the
hand is the head line, or line of men,
tally. The first half is straight, but
the second drops down in a curve,
which shows a balance between prac-
teal common ems and imagination.
and gives in this case a talent for i'm
~nginative work, i. e.. the nature IS prac-
teal, but the head is imaginative. The
line of life tthe long line which runs
around the ball Of the thumb is very
long. This gives promise of Il long
life. The line shows a break at the
age Of p and means an illness 1T that
age. The fate line, running from the
wrist to the second finger is very good
for success in money matters. She
will have many admirers, but will only
marry once, at the age of about ~.
The thumb is very long and turns out
ward, denoting generosity. strong will
and good reasoning powers. She has
great chances for success and good for

says the Tribune. Il crowd of pcopl"
stood watching the vain attempts OF Il
poor old horse to pull Il heavily loaded
cart out of Il rut. Again and again he
did his best; but the task was beyond
him, and finally. sweating and pant
ing, he refused to try further. The
owner piled the whip till the hystnnd-
ers began to express Il pretty loud dis
approval. just then q man came up,
saw what was going on, and i'll an
other moment was in the middle OF
the street.
.'Where did you get that horse:" he
asked.
At tho sound of the voice the horse
pricked up his ears. and turning his
head in the direction whence the sound
came. gave utterance to u low. glad
neigh.
Without waiting for the owners re-
ply. the man advanced quickly to the
horses head, and patting it gently.

old boy, when I first saw you, but
couldn't believe my eyes. for you used
to be a mighty different looking horse
from this
All this time tho horse was rubbing
his head against the mans breast and
shoulders, and there was n suspicion
of moisture in the mans eyes.
Il never would have sold you in the
world. Joe, if | had thought they would
bring you to this" the MAJ continued.
But never mind, old boy, there's going
to be a change right away. You're go
ing to have all you want to eat; you're
going to have a nice big stall. and you're
never going to do another lick of work
as long rs you live"
Then turning to the astonished own
er. he asked. 'Igow much do you want
for this horsc:'
The man hesitated Il moment. and
then said, Forty dollars"
He knew that he was asking iOIr
times what the horse was worth, but
lie shrcwdly concluded that the old
owner would not stand Oh q few dol
lars.
And he didn't; for taking out n roll
of bills from his pocket. he counted out
the forty dollars, and handing it to
the man, said:
Here's your money. You're robbing
me, but l must have the horse"
\ few minutes later he was leading
him down the street, and as the two
made their way along there We're doubt
less many who wondered why that
well-dressed man should cvince such
tender consideration for the poor. bony
old horse which followed with lame,
tailoring steps so close behind him.
