A Dinner in q Restaurant.
A correspondent Of the Pail Mall Gazette
describes how five years ago he met the En-
press in Milan. lie says 81 was having IL
tardy lunch at Bltfi'S, i'll the GalleIla, when
to my amazement, The Empress walked in IN
attended and took q table quite near mine.
Then followed a most comical incident. The
waiter, a certain Scaletti, whom we had all
spoiled by tips and by too much familiarity,
came up and said, II hope YOU have not come
for lunch it is late, and all the good things
are gone" "But," answered The Empress,
4 am hungry, and you must give me some
thing to eat.' Scaletti went into the kitchen
and came back with the following: ''There
is a dish all but ready l can recommend, for
L iIbO IL 4OL AuuCuCOh mOCOAA, O"4J ~ 10 dA
expensive one; but if you don't mind the OK
pense and waiting ten minutes you will be
pleased with it," 1t is easy TO imagine the
amusement Of the Empress, and when in
answer to q question what the price of the
dish was Scaletti said Eighty centimes,''
she fairly shrieked with laughter. Then the
man went on. "lt is all very we'll to laugh,
but you see they give you q handful Of rice and
some shrimps, they call it risotto ALA certo-
sina, and the whole thing costs perhaps ten
centimes;s so OR customers grumble and order
half PORTIONS. I'll bring you the same, and
if you like it you can lInve more; bnt in the
meantime l have brought You olives, salame,
sardines, &c" And so he went on talking
and telling of his family troubles; how his
brother-in-law had made for his house q lock-
for burglars that thieves could open, but he,
Scaletti, could not, and the Empress sat
there laughing ard encouraging the man to
talk. / sat as quiet as a mouse, pretending
to be deeply ongrossed in my newspaper, and,
/ hoped unnoticed; when suddenly the En-
press looked up and said smiling: A Mon
sieur lie Journalistic, ceci nest pas pour la
Pull Mall GGzette!' l never thought my
opportunity for relating the incident would
find pretext in so terrible a tragedy. Would
to heaven Tint her Imperial Majesty had
been less impatient of being watched and
followed"

SIeepIessness
ESPECIALLY FREQUENT IN HIGH ATTITUDES.
How II May be Overcome in Any Climate.
From ne cg.teJtatn, Pueblo, Col.

While the Rocky MountSin region is
justly famed for its salubrious climate and
is becoming more and more the mecca toward
which pilgrims are travelling from all parts
of the world that they may ill their weaken
ed lungs with its life-giving air, yet there
are ailments in that climate as in any other
one of the chief of which is sleeplessness.
This is due to the rarity of the air which on
some constitutions is too stimulating to the
nerves. In some cases patients are COM
PEELED to remove for a time to the sea level
to escape the high nervous strain. As sleep
lessness is not an uncommon accom- animent
to certain nervous conditions lin any elm

may point q moral to others, who have had
Q similar affection.
The woman came to Pueblo thirty years
ago when the town was a frontier settle
ment, and Indians were by no means I'M
usual visitors, bands of Ute's often passing
through on their way from the mountains
down to the plains to hunt buffaloes.
She had been in good health, until few
years ago when at each recurring SPRING
time she became debilitated, weak and Ian
guild. Her strength left her. she was listless
and lifeless. This, too in spite of he stimu-
lating effects of the high altitude. The most
serious difficulty, however, was sleeplessness
which she could not cure. The long weary
watches of the night told on her health and
she dreaded the approach of night This
lack of sleep weakened her strength and
brought on extreme nervousness, until she
was physical wreck.
As she could not well take the long jour

sought for some nerve restorative, that would
build up the nervous system, and thus ena-
