NO RESISTING SLEEP.
Nature VIII Assert Herself in Spite
of Everything-SOme Not
able Instances.

One of the most remarkable facts to
be found in the history of sleep con-
sists in the utter inability to resist
its onset in cases of extreme fatigue.
Several remarkable instances are given
in which persons have continued to
walk onward while sleep has overcome
them, the automatic centers of the
brain evidently controlling and stimu-
lating the muscles when consciousness
itself had been completely abrogated.
1t is reported that at the battle of the
Nile, amidst the roar of cannon and
the fall of wreckage, some of the over
fatigued boys serving the guns with
powder fell asleep on the deck. DR..
Carpenter gives another instance of al
lied kind. In the course of the Burmese
war the captain of a frigate actively
engaged in combat fell asleep from
sheer exhaustion and slept soundly for
two hours within yard of one of the
biggest guns, which was being active
ly worked during his slumbers. 1t is
matter of common medical knowledge
that extreme exhaustion in the face of
the scvcrest pain will induce sleep.
Here the imperative demand of the
body-a demand implanted, as we have
seen, in the constitution of the frames
asserts its influence, and even pain,
the ordinary conqueror of repose, has
its turn to succumb.
One of the most extraordinary cases
in which the overruling power Of sleep
was ever eXemplified was that of Dam
lens, condemned for treason in Paris
In 1851. lie was barbarously tortured,
but remarked that the deprivation of
sleep had been the greatest torture of
all. 1t was reported that he slept
soundly even in the short intervals
which elapsed between his periods OF
torture. Among the Chinese form
of punishment for crimes consists in
keeping the prisoner continually awake
or in arousing him necessarily after
short intervals of repose. After the
eighth day of such sleeplcssness one
criminal besought his captors to put
him to death by any means they could
choose or invent, so great was his pain
and torment due to the absence of ma
ture's soft nurse" Persons engaged
in mechanical labor, such as attending
amachine in factory, have often fallen
asleep despite the plain record of pains
and penalties attending such derelic-
tion of duty, to say nothing of the sense
of personal danger which was plainly
kept before their eyes.-Harper's Ba-
XaF.

HORSESHOE MAGIC.
II Existed Thousands of Years Before
HOrseshoes Came Into
Existence.

Horseshoe magic is subject which
seems to be of perennial interest, main
iy because it touches that little sub
stratum of superstitious beliefs which
Is inherent in most of us; though being
materialistic people in a material
lstic age, and having put away from
ourselves childish things, none of US
confess to it. AS matter of fact, how
ever, we are always, either literally or
metaphorically, turning over our
money when we see new moon or pick
ing up rusty horseshoe as a harbnger
Of luck. But the point that never seems
to be reached in these magazine discus
sions is the circumstance that, initially
and intrinsically, horseshoe magic has
nothing to do with horseshocs. 1t eX-
listed long before horses were ever shod,
and it has left traces of its presence in
places where horses have never been
known.
In comparatively modern times the
horseshoe over the. door-nailcd to the
Intel with the points uppermost, be it
noted-has been chiefly regarded as
protection against witchcraft, belief
which has survived in its modified
"luck- bringing" form to the present
day. But the borscshoe-shaped mark
has been q mystic symbol from imme-
mortal days, and all that modern SUI
perstition has done has been to fit it
to the horseshoe. l have seen the mark,
sometimes painted and sometimes cut,
on ancient shrines and temples in the
.r+o ,f : Ia, e.,
many centuries in India; it is to be
found in the Aztec ruins, and on the
stoneworll of buried cities discovered
recently by DR.. Schlichtcr in the region
now known as Rhodesia.
It has been found incised on the
sacred Churinga stones of the tribes of
Central Australia, and painted on the
bodies of such of the tribesnen as have
gone through the religious mysteries
peculiar to these aboriginal survivors,
Messrs. Spencer and Gillen tried last
year to induce the tribal priests to eX-
pound the horseshoe mystery to them,
but it was either too sacred or too OBJ
scure, and they learned nothing save
that the mark was an indispensable
part of their mystic rites. The horse
shoe mark is found also IN British Gui-
ana, in the region of the Amazon, in
Georgia and Illinois, in Zululand. in
the temple of the goddess Nut in upper
Egypt and on innumerable dolmens,
kists and powders in the British isles;
but always with the points uppermost.
In so far, therefore, as antiquity confers
respectability, horseshoe magic is pre-
eminently respectable. The only awk-
ward thing about it is that we do not
know what terrible mysteries it may
have originally signified, or to what
pagan rites we may be unwittingly
committing ourselves when we nail the
rusty symbol over our lintels. - st.

wise, but when mother told him it was
time to milk, he got up and lighted his
lantern, the day being dark and foggy,
took his pail and went to the barnyard.
The older boys noticed that he slipped
his book into his pocket, and sneaked
on behind to see how he was going to
milk and read, too, for, of course, they
knew that was his object. He hunted
up his old COW, scattered some straw
if he didn't put his book on the milking
stool, the lantern beside it, kneel down
on the straw and milk and read, and
read and milk" said Uncle, suiting the
action to the word.
"What'd the other boys do?" in
quired jeff.
''By and by mother began to wonder
why Jim didn't come in with the milk.
The rest had finished their chores, and,
of course" uncle's eyes twinkled with
sly merriment, "they didn't know any
thing about it-couldn't imagine what
jim was about, so father went to the
barnyard to investigate, and found him
milking and reading, reading and milk
ing away; only" with great express
sion, there wasn't any COW there-she
had been gently coaXed forward to the
stable with an ear of corn, but Jim was
still faithfully doing his share of the
milking.
wasn't he mad? I'd "a got even
with 'em some way" exclaimed Robert,
Jr., feeling pretty safe in this express
sion of independence, since his father
was safely ensconced in the parlor.
"But the smartest thing Jim ever did
when boy was finding himself by the
telephone"
Telephone! There were no tele-
phones in those days." his listeners
chorused.
Don't you be too sure of that. Lots
of things grew in the woods" retorted
uncle, wagging his head knowingly.
The older boys interchanged winks
rs signals that they were "on to" the
game uncle was evidently intending to
play on the girls and smaller boys, II
not themselves.

hTHERE were eight boys in the

slyly, to the ether cousins, as Uncle
Robert Murray came into the house

Eight children in the Murray fam

leading the grand rush to capture
Uncle Robert, seat him in the biggest
chair in the sitting-room, and snuggle
around him in various attitudes until
he won his release by telling story of
pioneer days.
The present generation of Murrays
is ahead by eight girls" said Uncle,
good od-naturedly, but in my fathers
family there were eight boys, and the
smnrtcst one was jim"
My names jim" piped a five-year-
old, quite as if he were satisfied that
smartness had been inherited with the
name.
"Well, let's see," returned his uncle,
"when Jim was nearly three years old
they were building the first school
house in that neck of the woods. At
the time set for the schoolmastcr to be-
gin school, it was not finished, but as
IL few more days would complete it.,
he did not return home, but stayed at
our house until it was ready. Father
and mother drove into the next county
to attend Il wedding, and were gone a
week. visiting friends along the way.
and when they came back Jim had not
only learned his letters. with the
schoolmaster's help, but could read in
the second reader. How's that,
JIMMY"
Jimmy hid consciously behind
uncle's arm, fully aware that his per-
sonal learning was limited to the
spelling of dog"
"Ile didn't keep that up very long,
did hep" inquired doubling Sam.
"Well, you can judge. He went to
school the next summer, and mother
has told me that often and often old
Angeline Jones, who was the hired girl
at our house, used to say when Jim
went over what he had learned during
the day: Hold on, Jimmy, you'll be

why, he never was president, was
he?' inquired Dorothy, much sur
priscd.
Not to my knowledge" chuckled
uncle; ''but he was a great boy for
books. Give him book to read, and he
didn't know anything else. When he
wouldn't join our games, we'd get mad
at him and play tricks on him.
Tel us about one," pleaded Marga-
ret.
well, every boy, you know, had his
share of the chores to do, and Jim's
part was to milk one COW night and
morning. One day the schoolmaster
had lent him book, 'Plutarch's Lives,
l think, and Jim was buried in it. We
couldn't get word from him edge
