particular color or in fact were betting
at all. To this end both Hubbard anG
McGraw were subjected to most rigit
examination. The case went over unit

CURES ron INSOMNIA.
"DOn't Keen Yourself Awake i'm Tt "
ing to GO Asleep" Is One.

From the st. Louis Globe-D Democrat.
One of the gastronomic magazines has
an article giving some comprehensive di-
rections regarding the cure of sleepless-
ness. 1t is sensible in admitting the COM
plexity Of a case of insomnia and of the
doubts often connected with its origin. A
man may apply all his own knowledge
and that of his medical adviser and yet
be unable for a time to overcome the ten
dency of the mind to drift along in help
less consciousness through the long hours
of the night But there must be a cause
for this perverseness and a remedy for It,
though the cure may not be found without
a perseveing quest. The American needs
a full share Of sleep. He works hard with
brain and nerves, and is apt to play as
hard as he works. To lie In bed with the
wheels of thought running on waste ma
terial is a sort of torture as well as a dan
ger to health. Napoleon's faculty of go
ing to sleep on the instant was one of the
greatest advantages he had over the COM
manders on the other side.
According to the magazine authority the
worst enemies of Sleep are worrying, over
work, overeating, indigestibe suppers,
and the habitual use of stimuants and
drugs The cure includes strict attention
to diet, a well-ventilated sleeping room.
some lght exercise, IKE q walk, an hour

course, from worry. Napoleon had as many
cares and perplexities as the next man.
but arbitrarily shut them Off. 1t IS not
well to go to bed hungry. A cup of hot
milk or a light sandwich Is advised when
that sensation Is felt Yet e is necessary to
remember that insomnia and an overload
ed stomach are closely acquainted. Sumu-
lants and narcotics in the end are sleep
destroyers. The condition they induce is
not refreshing sleep. Sleeplness Is an in
dication of the need of sleep and must not
be combated too far. People who sleep
but little should not be permitted to dis
turb those who are differently constituted.
When the whole subject is weighed the
main remedy is seen TO be good habits and
a Tranquil mind. Some who resolve to

DETECTION OF CoUNTERFEITs.
Methods Which Help WOmen's In
stinct I'm Touch.
From the London Truth.

From the London Truth.
The governor of the Bank of France
has found that his lady clerks are the
best detectives of forged bank notes and
of debentures with altered numbers. He
has now entirely entrusted the work of
detection to a feminine CORPS He be-
lieves the delicate tact of their fingers
helps them, and he fancies that many OF
them really scent q bad note. They feel,
in lingering the forged notes, the differ
ence, however slight, between them and
the real. He never knew a note that
had been laid aside az doubtful, after
being thus felt to be anything but
forged one. The means for bringing to
light falsified numbers on debentures are
worth being brought under the notice Of
stock brokers and bankers. The fair de-
tective first spreads the suspected deben-
ture on a well-ligted table with a num-
Der of others. and sets them one by one
beside it. The genuine numbers are al
ways written with clerlSly regularity. The
man or woman who wrote them did so
mechanically; but a forger's hand is al
ways influenced by hope or fear. 1t is
not, probably, his business to do nothing
but write figures ana fll up forms. It
near always happens that his state Of
feeling is betrayed In the more symmetri-
cal figures of HIS forgery The next thing
to notice is the difference in the color of
the ink 1t Is never Of the same shade
as that In the original. Should 1t be dark
er or lighter, the suspected debenture Ia
taken to a dark room and placed under
a strong reflector.
Differences that did not appear are now
seen. The unaltered figures are shiny,
because the ink Is oxidzed; the new ones
are of a duller black. In some angles OF
the light one does not see the original
figures at all, but the added ones plain
ly They are then damped with alcohol,
to make the paper transparent. The diff
ference Of character between what was
first written and what was added is thus
brought out more distinctly. A magnify
ing glass is next used. Tremors of the
hand, skilful scratching and alterations Of
figures are made manifest. On the wrong
side of the numbers being lightly brushed
with plombagine, the new figures stand
out In stronger relief than the old. The
final operation Is 1.-THE wash" OF the de-
benture. 1t is first washed with a camel's
hair brush, dipped In a mixture of one
part OF castor oil to six parts of alcohol,
at a heat of 90 degrees. The primitive
figures now appear more distinctly than
the added ones. The second wash is Of
soda and water. In the proportion Of to
100 The added ink, If at all fresh, disap-
pears. and the original numbers stand out
clearly. If notice has been given of the
loss of a bond with the original number.
1t will go hard with the person who has
presented the cooked" one, unless he can
show that it was thus when his broker
conveyed 1t to him.
