THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP.
No One Can Exactly Explain the Phenomena
OF S!umber.

There is a remarkable fact connected
with sleep which must not he over
looked. The sleep CT a human being, il
we are not too busy to attend to the
matter always evokes a certain feeling
OF awe. Go into a room where a person
IS sleeping and it is difficult to resist
the sense that one is in the presence of
the central mystery of existence. Peo-
pie who remember how constantly they
see Old Jones asleep in the club library
viii smile at this, but look quietly and
alone at even Old Jones and the sense
of mystery viii soon develop. 1t is no
good to say that sleep is only moving
because it looks like death. The person
who is breathing so loudly as to take
away all thought of death causes the
sense Of awe quite as easily as the
silent sleeper who hardly seems 10
breathe. We see death seldom, but
We're it more familiar we doubt if a
corpse would inspire SO much awe as
the unconscious and sleeping figure-.a
smiling, irresponsible doll flesh and
blood. but a doll to whom in a second
may be called a proud, active, control
ling consciousness which will ride his
bodily and his mental horse with Il
hand Of iron. which will force that
body 70 endure toll and misery and VIII
make that mind now wandering in
paths Of fantastic folly srapple with
some great problem, or throw all it's
force into the ruling, the saving or the
destruction Of mankind. The corpse is
only so much bone, muscle and tissue.
The sleeping body is the house which n
quick and eager master has only lefc
for an hour or SO. Let anyone who
thinks sleep is not a mystery try TO
observe himself the process by which
sleep comes and 10 notice how and
when and under what conditions he
loses consciousness. He viii, of course.

ment Of sleep coming but in striving
to get as close as he can to the
phenomena Of sleep he will realize how
great is the mystery which he is trying

MULE TRUST BROKEN.
All Bids Rejected When Attempt to
Cfnch the Government Was seen.

ST. LOUIS. April e1.-The government.
has broken the backbone OF the Missouri
mule trust BY refusing to accept the bids
recently sent in for furnishing these ami
mails for the army. The big dealers in
mules in ST. Louis and Kansas CITY formed
trust of their own when the demand for
the animals became SO brisk and advanced
the price about SIS a head. When the bids
were opened here II was discovered That
there Was scarcely 70 cents difference in
the highest and lowest bids The bids were
forwarded to Washington and word has
been received that they were thrown out,
the newspapers having announced a trust.
Now there Is a wild scramble TO dispose os
the animals at good deal lower figure.
