Railroad Ties.
BY JOHN G. WOOLLEY.

There is no longer 'WOman question" there was, but that is antediluvian. Ev6ry school boy knows that the hypote- muse is the shortest distance between three points. In figure of which God is the altitude, and mankind the base, wo- manis the hypotenuse, that is, the dem- onstration. The rest of the business is to work out'' the geometry of it in feet and inches, and the logarithm for that has no gender. So that, society with a sex limit is as insufficient as a "dumpy levep' is to build railroad
 The sober third thought of the Crusade ought to be to strike out the first word of the corporate name and take us all in to the Christian Temperance Union" on the ground f1oor-what God has joined together let no woman put 8ssunder- then there will be some sense in Katha- rine. Lente Stevenson's song, "We All Belong" which is now a metrical taunt at the employees"
 There are many reasons to fortify my proposition. The society wants money. Very we'll, we have it, ready to plank down, but not on any honorary -bric-a- brac basis. Millions for dues but not 8 cent for tribute. Take us in and the local unions will see a revival--we will be workers instead of visitors, and the Y. w. Q. T. U. would r,o,7IA;r1Ixv ;%c43nHronoo ond i+c ;DoD;rotion hundred-fold at once.
 ''But," says some nervous woman, linen might capture the society,""
 Mercy! Think of the feelings of a lot of men who had captured Frances Willard and two hundred and fifty thous- and unanimous women who will neither trim, lie, or keep secret--or even keep silence in the churches"
 What the country needs now is great broad, united society of men and women in aYonest, equal working fellowship. Of such society timid preachers would read the notices from their pulpits, and all the work of the church and Sunday school would feel the power.
 Then, think the society ought to go in for some real pledge work and social t.loige night'' every week or so, with rec lions, readings, songs, debates and the iffk5.- It would be d great boOa to rural communities especially, but to all as well, The Demorest medal contests would be multiplied in usefulness, and communities permeated with prohibition truth and to- tai abstinence habits.
 Lecture tours could be arranged for our young men and women, and lot of un- used talent utilized, and much that is now hidden for lack of opportunity brought to light, encouraged and developed. I know dozens of splendid young people who could do glorious work featuring among these lodges-or unions.
 respectfully, but firmly, give notice that if this suggestion is overlooked at the next national convention there are many of us who will-"hang around" hereafter as heretofore and await the the pleasure of the ladies-fOr there is none of us but would scorn to form & mans temperance union.
 Do let us in.

1t is our intention to print under this head, from week to week, items Of interest from the old stafford News Letter
 SINGING SOHo0I.-Mr. E. F.

 ANOTHER ATTEMPT AT STORE BREAK ING AND THEFT.-On Tuesday night an other attempt was made to enter the store of Leonard & Howlet, West Stafford, by some rogues who seem persistent in their l course of nightly depredatiOns. They had | succeeded so far as to remove a pane of glass and raise the window, when Mr. Howlet, who sleeps in the store, gave the alarm too soon, by which means they were enable1 to escape. On the same night horse was taken from the stable of Mir. Asa Pattcn and another left in it's place, jaded and worn by hard driving, belonging to a man in SOmers Mr.. Pat ten, on another, followed in pursuit the next morning, and the horse was found without driver in a dOOryard at Spring field. These Outrages are greatly on the increase, and it becomes our citizens ear nestly to exercise more vigilance, and, if possible, to entrap these pests Of society, who are every day becoming more and more fearless and impudent in violence outrage and plumber,

ARSOLUTEEY PURE
A REMEDY FOR INSOMNIA.

"If there is one thing that worries me more than anything else-and suppose it is calculated to worry any one-it is the fact of being unable to sleep" said Frank T. Reeves, of Lynchburg, Va, at the Maltby House.
 "As usual thing go to sleep almost as soon as touch the pillow" he contin- ued, "but occasionally 1 have fits of in somnia, when 1 lie and toss in bed for hours. What causes these spells I do not know, but 1 have tried every means to get rid of them.
 My friends at different times have suggested many remedies, all of which have tried without success. One told me that if stuck foot out from underneath the cover it would have good effect, and it did. It caused me to go to sleep, but l invariably caught cold, so had to give 1t up. Another plan I tried was to lie in bed in sort of sitting-up position, with the head propped up by pillows. This was all right in producing the desired ef- ANOOt OUO AO "C"O ouCAl position that I tried it only as last re- sort. There were several means I exper- imented with to bring about the desired end, until finally hit upon an expert ment of my own, which never fails to ac- cOmplish the wished-for purpose. "lt is this bare my arm and run it under the pillow, with the inside pressed against the cool surface. You know there is an important artery in the wrist, near the surface, and the cool pillow re- duces the temperature of the blood, and in short time sleep comes. As explain ed to me by medical friend, insomnia is generally produced by the blood being at an abnormal temperature, or there being too much in the head. did not know this when l hit upon my plan, but my physician friend told me it was good scheme had hit upon, and that the cir culation was capitalized, the temperature reduced, when sleep would supervene. When the pillow where l. place my arm grows warm move the arm to another part which is cool, and continue to do this until I fall asleep. Baltimore Her. nLG
