SLEEP WALKING.
A Dangerous Habit That May he
Broken with Proper
Treatment.

Sleep walking, or somnambulism, is
neither so common nor SO entertain
Ing habit as readers of q certain kind
OF stories might be induced to believe.
1t is, as little reflection will convince
us, a habit, or we might even say
malady, which exposes its victim to
great peril.
The somnambulist is in condition
very similar to that of hypnotized or
mesmerized person. The action of the
mind is greatly restricted, in that the
reasoning faculty is almost complete
ly in allegiance, and everything the per-
son does is purely automatic and per-
formed under the influence OF single
idea.
But the very fact that the mind,
crippled as it's powers are, acts solely
in one direction and is not distracted
by external impressions, makes the
persons actions more certain than
they would be in waking state. Thus
a somnambulist may walk along the
edge of roof with perfect steadiness,
while, if awake, he would certainly
turn dizzy and fall. So, too, in a total
ly dark room, the sleep walker will
often move about without stumbling
against chairs or tables, or will seat
himself at a desk or stand holding
many objects without upsetting one.
Although we do not know with GER
tainty the condition of the brain in
somnambulism, observation has
taught us to recognize many of the
causes which induce it, and so to con-
troll the habit in great measure. These
causes may be mental, such as worry,
brooding over one idea, and hard
study, especially late at night; or
physical, such as late suppers, INSULT
cient exercise, and sleeping with the
head too low.
Most sleep walkers are either of
nervous constitution, or have received
some severe shock, great grief or i'm
moderate Joy, which was temporarily
disturbed their nervous equilibrium.
The young of both sexes are most sub
iect to sleep walking, and when the
habit is found in youth it is usually
outgrown in few years.
The confirmed somnambulist should
avoid all the mental and physical
causes above mentioned. The bed
clothing should be light, the sleeping
room of good size and well ventilated.
Much time should be passed In the
open air, and over-application to
studies must be carefully avoided.
In obstinate cases the patient should
not be left alone at night, and doors
and windows should be securely fas-
tened. If he is discovered out of bed
he should be gently guided back, and
should not be Weakened until once more
lying down.-Youth's Companion.

LADY SMOKERS AT COURT.
Protest of Hussian Women at the
Cxarina's Edict Against
CiEa rettes.

/ learn from ST. Petersburg that
many Of the ladies of the cza rina S
household are fearfully upset BY re-
quest-equiyalent, OF course, to an or
der-made by their exalted and charm
ing mistress, 10 the effect that they
should discontinue the practice OF
smoking cigarettes in her presence,
says a Berlin correspondent of the
London Telegraph. 1t is not easy to
throw up cigarette smoking even at
the behest of one Of the sweetest wom-
en- in existence; and ladies find it
more difficult to give up such physical
pleasures than men, when the reasons
given for doing so appear to them to
be inadequate. The fair sufferers
have, therefore, drawn up petition to
the czarjna praying that she will recall
her dreadful ukase. The petitioners
have pointed out that ladies are per-
mitted to smoke cigarettes at all the
courts OF Europe. that among the vari-
Gus crowned heads and princeSscs OF
che royal blood who smoke they can
mention the dowager czarina and her
sister, the empress of Austria, the
queen of Roumania the queen regent
of Spain, and the queen of Portugal
all of whom are inveterate smokers.
Above all, they venture TO point out
that the illustrious lady most devoted
to the fragrant perfume of the narcot-
ic herb is Princess Irene, wife of Prince
Henry of Prussia. and her majesty's
own sister. The ladies of the imperial
court are anxi )dsly waiting to see if
their august mistress will relent.

toration period In England, when the
whole OF polite" society, following
the lead of the button King Charles
H., seemed determined to turn into
contempt all that for which Puritan
ism had stood, its politics and govern
ment, its morals and religion. In these
days it will be admitted by most of
the adherents of the sect that the pro-
test or testimony" as to plainness
of apparel is to be viewed in the light
OF its higher meaning. Not long
ago man in New York published a
book descriptive of what he called
Society" in which he ATTEMPTED to
show that it was necessary for fash
ionable" people, in order to maintain
their position" fully, to spend an
nually sum more than enough to
support the families OF 200 skilled
workingmen for the same length of
time, and that the mistress of such an
establishment was expected-that is,
compelled-to pay $4,000 for dress
alone III twelvemonth. Here are
rich opportunities for the exercise of
the Friendly" spirit; not necessarily
the old idea that persons should wear
a severely plain, unfashionable, and
very conspicuous dress, or even that
there is any especial merit in so do
ing, but that expenditures upon the
things which perish" should be di-
rected by justice, delicacy, good taste
and common sense.-Frank Leslies

in transmitting sound through tubing
is reported from Germany. The piping
conveying compressed air into the
workings of coal mine was employed.
The greatest length to which a sound
could be conveyed in a straight pipe
without branches was found to be
1900 feet to 1,7c0 feet. For distances
up to 1900 feet the best kind of pipe
was that with diameter of about 20
inches; beyond that distance larger
pipes were more effective. IL distances
