NAzLEH WORRIES THE ORIENT.

The best known Of the Oriental prin-
cesses to adopt European customs Is
Nazleh daughter of the notorious Pas
ha Fazleh. who is supposed TO have
given the Khedive Ismael the cup OF
coffee which had such disastrous con-
sequences for him. She has long since
passed the years OF girlhood. and has
lost the great beauty which made her
famous then and the heroine OF books
by French and English authors. She
was reared under the care 1 an English
governess. quite as girl OF the aris-
tocracy in England would have been.
She was a blonde and then a perfect
specimen Of that type of beauty. She
was freed from most of the exacting
restrictions OF MJhammedan life by
her father. and even allowed to ride
horseback dressed in the habit of Eu-
ropean women, escorted by a groom
imported from England. This violation
OF Oriental etiquette was too great, !,
however. to cOnuinue. Such an exam
ple of emancipated womanhood might
have a bad effect on the wives and
daughters Of other noblemen in Cairo.
So the Sultan Abdul Aziz put an end
to this unprecedented boldness, and the
horseback rides ceased.
She came with a great dowry to her
husband. Khalil Bey. who was much
her senior. and AT one time Turkish
ambassador in London. He was an in
timate friend Of her fathers, enough

OVERCOMING SLEePLESSNESS.

A novel remedy for insomnia, sug-
gested by Prof. ]. NJ. Baldwin. is 20
try to picture another person asleep.
Prof. Baldwin claims that the more
clearly the other persons sleep is pic
tured the more stronger becomes the
subjective feeling OF drOwsiness. An
other authority says that all arti-
fetal methods of producing sleep are a
mistake, and the very fact OF a person
being especially anxious TO sleep Is the
commonest cause of prolonged sleep
lessness. To the victim OF insomnia he
SAYS: Give up trying TO sleep Nine
times out OF ten the blessing striven for
in vain will come unsought. ana that
almost fmned ately. SO that on looking
back the next morning the last thing
YOU remember VIII be your determine
tion to lie awake. Directly you cease
10 strive FOR sleep. 10 wish ardently for
st. the strain will be taken Oft the brain
the body will rest because the mind is
no longer preventing M. and sleep will
be the happy result" It is the anxiety
for sleep and the worrying about its
absence. far more than the sleepless-
ness itself. that causes the feeling Of
prostratlon whicn follows a sleepess
night The man whose duty or occu-
patton has forced him 10 give up
nights rest Is in better condition the
next day than the man who has spent
restless night In the vain ana weary
search for sleep.

CLEARED THE NAME OF DEAD MAN.

'In our business II doesn't do to jump
at conclusions" said a veteran de-
fect,ye NOW in railroad Service Il
New Orleans Times Democrat reporter.
"I had that fact impressed on my mind
long ago when l was young and green,
by something that occurred at a certain
city-never mind exactly where. l can
tell you the story just as we'll without
the name.
"A man OF some prominence was
staying at the princlpa. hotel of the
place, and one morning he was found
dead in his bed, with the door locked on
the inside, windows fastened and the
gas turned on full tilt -Nebedy doubted
that he had committed suicide, and as
he had been handling some trust funds
i was engaged TO make private inVes-
tigation. AS far as | could discover,
his affairs were straight, but a vague
suspicion, nevertheless, attached TO his
memory People don't kill themselves
for nothing and IL was generally be-
lieved that some hidden irregularity in
his life had driven him to the act.
Fully two years later | was in the

! hotel he pointed out a little hole at each

where II was grfpped by pliers and

His theory was that the room had
been entered by some one, probably a
| thief. who riflet the mans clothing,
turned on the gas either accidentally or
purposely and locked the door again

pliers into the keyholc. ! then remem-
bered that no money had been found in
