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 certain kind
of stories might be induced to believe.
It is, as little reflection will convince
us, habit, or we might even say a
malady, which exposes tes victim to
great peril.
The somnambulist is in condition
very similar to that of a 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 a waking state. Thus
somnambulist may walk along the
edge of roof with perfect steadiness,
while, if awake, he would certainly
turn dizzy and fall. So, too, in total
ly dark room, the sleep walker will
often move about without stumbling
against chairs or tables, or will seat
himself at 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
ject 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 we'll 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 wakened until once more
lying down.-Youth's Companion.

SOAP AND ITS USES.
England High Among the Nations
But the United States at the
Head of the List.

There is now exported from Great
Britain more soap than was used in
| Great Britain at the beginning of the
present century, and, besides, accord
ing to authentic figures, 4oo,OO0,OOO
pounds of soap is used in Great Britain
every year, exclusive of 55,000,000
pounds exported to other countries,
chiefly English colonies. The French
manufacture of soap amounts approx
imately to 3oo,ooo,0oo pounds year, the
larger part of which is made in the
city of Paris. The sale in other coun-
tries of French soap, and particularly
French perfumed soap, is a consider
able item of commerce. The exports
of soap from Great Britain in recent
years have been as follows: Eighteen
hundred and seventy-fve, 12,500 tons;
1880, 1880; 1885, 2o,1oo; 1890, $4,000;
1895, 1880. What were known In Eng
land as the soap taxes originated dur
ing the reign of Queen Anne and were
originally fixed at $50 ton, yielding
in the year 1880 public revenue in ex-
cess of $T,o00,OOo.
An official estimate recently made
shows the average consumption per In
habitant of Great Britain to be nine
pounds year; a similar average pre-
walls in France, Belgium and Holland
though a popular belief ascribes to the
last country much larger use of soap,
particularly for house cleaning. There
are no official figures on the subject,
but there is general belief that very
little soap is used in Spain. Certainly
no soap is imported into that country
(the Spanish blockade on soap has been
of long duration) and none is exported
from it. The United States stands ut
the head of all other countries in the
use, If not in the manufacture, of soap.
The average expectations of American
soap in q year amount to 30,0O0,D0O
pounds. The importations into the
United States of soap amount to $1,000
900 pounds, or one-tenth as much.
There are nearly 500 soap factories In
the United States, with cash capital
of $4,000, 900, using materials to the
value of $30,000,000 and giving employ
ment to 10000 persons. In the number
of such establishments New York
stands first among American cities, but
prior to its enlargement Philadelphia
has the first place, New York second
and Brooklyn third. Boston, San Fran
cisco and Cincinnati follow in the order
named, and in respect of the value of
materials used in soap making Chicago
comes first, having many facilities for
procuring them, but turning out a
cheap and inferior grade of soap.-N.

from Madrid instruction or permission
to bid adue to Cuban sovereignty with
out seeking to attach some condition
providing for the assumption of the
Cuban debt by the United States.
If they shall be as at present dis
posed and instructed. the Spaniards
will not. at tomorrow's meeting. recog-
nize the position Of the United States.
They regard the situation as pitable
and are not averse to any sympathy il
may excite.
They affirm that the American
answer to their debt proposition is
very long and that they have not yet
had time to digest it. 1t is probably
that they viii make another written
