IA Simple Method of Counting Sleep
Which Has Not Failed.
(From the New York Herald.)

(From the New York Herald.)
According to well-known New York
physician, himself a sufferer from in
somnia for many years, sleep can cas-
lily be summoned by a means within
the reach of all. The doctor has tried
his method on his patients, ard. SIM
pie as it is, has never heard of 1t fail
ing. Those who find themselves eluded
by sleep will do well to try it, and for
their benefit it is here given.
The method is essentially one OF self
asphyxiation; nevertheless there is nc
reason for fear for there is no risk
Indeed, it is impossible to asphyxiate
ones self by this means The first
thing you have to do is to take a long
and deep inspiration, as much air be-
ing drawn into the lungs as can be
borne with comfort. This air is re-
tanned until positive discomfort is felt
when it must be slowly exhaled. Repeat
this process two or three times, and
the chances are you will forget all else
until you wake up from your sleep the
next morning.
The explanation of this is simple
enough. Sleep is due to hyperaelnia OF
the brain During sleep there is @ flow
of nutrition to the cerebrum; conse-
uuently an increase of blood TO supply
its deficiencies. The semi-asphyxiatio
brought about by holding the brsatf
keeps a quantity Of blood in the head
with a consequent increased cerebral
circulation.
Another point also to which the doc
tor calls attention is the habit of sleep
ling with the head too high. If the heaC
is kept low more refreshing sleep is OBJ
tanned He raises the foot of the bet
so that il forms an inclined plane, blu
recommends that this be done grad
ually, as sudden change is likely t,
have an. effect the reverse of that de
sired. The sleep thus obtained is more
beneficial and one awakens with 4,
clearer head and a wider mental hori
ION. The neck increases in size, tn,
cerebral circulation is improved ant
the influence upon the lungs is SO grea
that it will lessen the tendency to con
sumption.
Physicians are more and more arriv
ling at the conclusion that in the cas-,
of this disease drugs are of little valu,
and many times are worse than use
less. One should feign not to want t,
sleep, as it is often a fear Of not beinl
able to sleep that keeps a persoi
awake Then the mind should not b.
allowed to concentrate upon a subjec
and the stomach should be treated to
| light repast before retiring for tn
night.

SALE OF TIMBER LANDS.
The Charges on Investigation Are
Found to Be Without Foundation.

Washington. Oct. 29.-Secretary Bliss
has been investigating the alleged scan
dals in connection with the sale of
timber lands of the Chippewa Indians
and will treat the subject in his forth
coming report The charges upon in
vestigation are shown to be utterly
without foundation. Until the treaty
of 1889 the United States has advanced
to the Indians over S2000O0O, and as
yet has been reimbursed only to the
extent of S600,0 900
The expense of estimating the cost
OF the timber lands which are to be
sold has been rather heavy, owing to
the fact that there have been several
boards. but the present board is doing
its work with perfect satisfaction The
secretary's report will clear up the
Misrepresentation which existed in GER
tain quarters regarding the sale of
these timber lands.

of Jim's and Andrews lives when they

As to his future course, that was al

soon understand. He gave a great sigh
of relief when the little cottage fade,i

So in the Tracys' little home. made
so desolate BY Elizabeth's fitting, the
invitation never came. Six months after
Elizabeths departure, old Ephraim
Tracy came slowly home. 1t was
evening, and already the first breath
of spring could be detected in the
soft air. He sat heavily down upon
the little back porch looking more
bowed than ever and his faded eyes
were infinitely weary.
"Lizzie don't say nothin' about our
visit. mother" he began.
Mrs. Tracy was busy getting sup
per, but she came out and sat down by
him, taking his hand tenderly between
her own.
Don't you see through it, Eph-
raim?" said she, gently, avoiding the
wistfulness OF the troubled eyes. I'VE

A mist gathered in the old mans

purple hills kissed the western sun.
''The child dassen't write" And he
was her father; yes. old. obscure,
| worthless as he was, she was his
child, and Dillingham; had taken her
from him. He did not eat any sup
per that night, and after time crept
i quietly off to bed.
Next to his father, poor Jud mourned
after Elizabeth most. refusing to be
comforted Even the most dazzling
bits of green and blue glass, brought
to him by his affectionate little play
mates. failed to please him, and for
many weeks the playhouse was de-
serted. The little fellow would rove
in and out, patient sorrow written
in the childish eyes.

And Jud would sigh, and the sun

1t had been seven years now since
Elizabeth's wedding day. Only rarely
did she visit home. and even then the
visits were not satisfactory. Eliza beth

rings like that" he said, exultantly.
But Elizabeth suddenly burst into
tears.

the hitherto bare little dwelling. But
the cup had its bitter drop, you NAV
