Tobacco In Insomnia.

A man who has long been the victim OF
sleeplessness and at last cured himself tells
how the remedy was effected. He was very
fond of smoking and was accustomed to
smoke freely after dinner. Naturally the
last thing before going to bed would be a
smoke, which put him in tranquil state
of mind and nerves. This tranquility,
however proved delusive He would ell
Their lie awake for long time or go to sleep
Immediately and wake up in half an hour
and stay awake. Suspecting that the ex'
cessive use of tobacco might be responsible
for these symptoms, he moderated his
smoking and with most happy results. lie
now has his smoke after dinner and then
indulges no more The temptation to do
SO is sometimes very great, but he counts
the luxury of full nights rest, with the
enhanced power for work next day, more
desirable than the extra pipe or two, and
he gets along without the tobacco and
sleeps soundly when he retires. Smoking
after eating has less effect on the nerves
than at other times, and the subsequent
period of abstinence from the weed before
going to bed gives the nerves q chance to
regain their normal composure. st. Louis

SLATE PENCILS.
What They Are Composed of and How
They Are Made.

They Are Made.
Slate pencils undergo number of
processes before they are ready for use,
and in making them nearly all of the
manual labor is done by boys. First
broken pieces of slate are put into a
mortar run by steam and are crushed to
powder, which is then bolted in ma
chine such as is used in Touring mills.
A fine slate flour results which is thor.
oughly mixed in large tub with stea-
tite flour and other materials, the whole
making a stiff dough. The dough is
kneaded by being passed between iron
rollers number of times, and it is then
taken to table, where it is made into
short cylinders four or five inches i'll
thickness and containing from eight to
ten pounds of material each.
Four of these cylinders are placed in
q strong iron resort which has change
able nozzle so that the size of the pen
ellis may be regulated. In the retort the
material is subjected to great hydraulic
pressure and is thus pushed through the
nozzle in the shape of a long cord. AS

passes over knife and is cut into the
desired lengths. The lengths are laid
OH boards to dry and are then placed on
sheets of corrugated zinc, the corrugation
preventing the pencils from warping
during the baking process The baking
is done in q kiln into which superheat-
ed steam is introduced through pipes.
The pencils go from the kiln to the
finishing and packing room, where the
ends are held for an instant under q
rapidly revolving emery wheel. which
neatly points them.
Finally they are packed in pasteboard
boxes, 100 pencils i'll each box, then 100
of the pasteboard boxes are packed in a
wooden box, and they are ready for
shipment. -Philadelphia Times.

THE NAVAL CHAPLAIN.
His Odiciai Station and Duties In Time OF
Battle.

The char lain S official station in most
ship ceremonies and in time Of battle is
at the sick bay, where lie the sick. Dis
cipline and fresh air are wonderful pre-
servatives of health, and a chaplain's
duties to the sick in times of peace are
very light. At naval hospitals, however,
whittier are brought from the ships the
very sick and the seriously wounded, u
chaplain finds ample field for the exer-
else of that tender sympathy which
wins souls TO God and for the minister
ing of the consultations of religion. 1t is
also the duty of the chaplain to assist
at naval burials The regulations re-
quire that Christian burial be provided
for all men who die in the service If
possible, the body is inferred with the
rites of the church to which the deceas-
ed had belonged. When this sad duty is
required at sea, the ship is hove to, the
flag displayed at half mast and the Off
GERS and men are mustered ON deck to
pay their last tribute to the departed.
The funeral services follow, and the
body is then consigned to the deep. A
guard of honor fires three volleys over
the watery grave and the bugler sounds
the last "taps"-sad mournful notes of
the bugle which tell of the hour Of
sleep If the death occur at a hospital,
an escort and guard of honor from the
ship to which the deceased had been at
tached accompany the funeral cortege
to the grave AS the procession enters
the cemetery the bugler precedes, fol-
lowed by the chaplain. This spectacle
is always impressive. 1t naturally sug-
gests the prayer that angels, led by the
angel guardian, may bear the soul of
the deceased before the throne of God
as friends bear the body to the grave;
that the angel at the Judgment seat
may proclaim welcome, JOY and glad
ness as the bugler at the grave recalls
loss, sadness and regret. S

The longevity enjoyed by astronomers

Brewster to SO. Sir z. Sabine to 81,
Humboldt to 80. Schwabe to SO, Santini

ity of habit conduces to longevity in any

pursuit of those who study the heavens.

cal students.

The only lecture on the Code OF Ethics
ever delivered at a medical college was
the one given by DR.. ]. n. upshur, al
the Medical College of Virginia, just be-
fore the closing OF the present season.
DR.. Upshur's audience was large and
contained not only a great many stu
dents OF the college. but also several NOM
bers OF the faculty.
The lecture was a highly interesting
one and attracted the closest attention
based on the Code Of Ethics that has
been framed by the American Medical
Association. That organization consists
of the various local medical organizations
i'm this country. but is composed only Of
allopathic physicians.
Or. Upshur in an attractive manner de-
fined the duties OF the physicians TO their
patients. the duties OF the patients TO
their physicians, the duties of the physl-
clans among themselves. the duties Of
the physicians 10 the public. and the du-
ties OF the public to the physicians.
