Saltwater, Mimi, Prison Mirror.
Some two years ago, while on visit to
a friend of mine, who is employed as
gymnasium instructor in Chicago, par
ty of friends had gathered at his bachelor
quarters, and the subject Of long-distance
cycling ETC., was introduced. Then arose
a great argument as to the possibility Of
a man going without sleep for several
days and nights. My friend then related
the following story, which he claimed as
true, for he acted as a second to the
principals:
I'm the year 1884, he began, while
was in New York, 1 attended gathering
of a few friends at one Of the leading
clubs, and the matter of human endur-
ance was freely discussed. Prudden,
now deceased, gave as his opinion that
six days was the limit of human endur-
ance without insanity in a more or less
pronounced form supervening. He said
he had privately tested some of the most
likely men of the day, and had offered
them a goodly prize If they could with
stand the claims of Morpheus for nearly
a week, but which none had accomplished.
Charles Schmidt who had hitherto taken
little part in the discussion, here Joined
in with:
"fWell, Mr.. Prudden, just two years
ago a young fellow I know intimately
went sleepless for between six and seven
days, and from that day to this has suf-
fered no i'll effects
''In answer to Pruddens inquiries
Schmidt answered that 1t was himself
that did it and was willing to try it
again. The matter was soon arranged
and the last week in September, at Prud-
den's country house. were the date and
place fixed for the event. Schmidt Sc
lected myself and Miller as his assist
ants; Snow was to act as referee, while
Ness and Robbins were to look after
Prudden's interest.
GAS agreed, the party selected met at
Prudden's country house on Friday, Sept.
20, but were Informed by Prudden that 1t
would take a few days longer to fix up
the gymnasium.
ION Friday, Sept. 81, he asked US to
follow him, as the gymnasium was then
ready. After taking us down a flight of
stairs, along narrow passage and
through several 1ron-bound doors, we
found ourselves in the gymnasium in
reality large cellar extending under the
| most part of the house with bathroom
and bedroom adjunct. The usual para

CURE FOR INSOMNIA.
Said to Have Been Found in Long
Inhalation.

A well known New York physician, who
suffered from insomnia for many years,
has found out a brand new method
whereby sleep can be instantly obtained.
The doctor has tried 1t on himself and OH
his patients and has never known it to
fail. 1t is essentially self-asphyXiati
and yet there is no possibility of danger
A long breath is first taken and the air
is kept in until positive discomfort is
felt, when it is slowly eXhaled. This is
repeated a second and third time, and in
a minute or so the patient will be asleep.
The theory of sleep that finds the widest
acceptance IS that sleep is occasioned by
the exhaustion of the nutrition of the
BRAIN due to it's functional activity when
awake. During sleep there is a flow of
nutrition to the brain, consequently an
increase of blood 10 supply its deficiencies.
By holding the breath the head and brain
become intensely congested with venous
blood loaded with carbonic acid. The
carbonic acid and the other chemical pro-
ducts which venous blood contains act
on the nerve tissues, producing sleep
and the same as ether and chloroform
produce artificial sleep
If you are truly brain weary do not
try to replace the thoughts with others,
but make the mind a blank IS far as pos
sible If the brain is excited turn 1t to
monotonous thoughts, recite poems or
verses, or go over journey which you
very much enjoyed, recalling even the
most trifling incidents.
Physicians are more and more arriving
at the conclusion that the way of treat
ing insomnia is not by means OF drugs.
There is always the danger of forming
the drug habit, and in most cases drugs
are not necessary. If noises inside the
house or outside disturb one, putting cot
ton in the ears will be found to give re-
lief.
Those who are troubled with sleepless-
ness should retire at a regular hour each
night. If there is a fear of not being
able to sleep that keeps one awake one
should feign not to want it, and one VIII
he surprised to find how quickly sleep
comes. Always take slight meal be-
fore retiring to rest. A vast number or
cases of Insomnia are caused by empty
stomachs.
