THE SLEEP PROBLEM.
A vital Subject which May Yet BE
Termed q Mystery.

In these days of rush and excite
ment, says The Medical Record, when
the nervous system is too often
stretched to its utmost tension, and
when neurasthenia is rampant every
where, the question of rest and sleep
must be considered. The mode Of liv.
ing has SO altered. even within the
past 80 years and especially In this
country, that the sleep problem is a
matter Of the first importance. This
being the case, the fact that little Is
definitely known as to the cause Of
sleep Is decidedly curious. Sleeper.
haps the most marvellous phenomenon
In the world-may rightly be termed o
mystery.
Leonard Hill thus summarizes the
facts which are known concerning
sleep: First.-Respiration. (a) The
number per minute remains unaltered,
the movement becomes shallow and
thoracic In type; o. the amount Of in.
spired air per minute is lessened by
from one-half to two-thirds; (c) the
output Of carbonic acid gas Is dimin-
ished by one-half to two-thirds. See.
nd.-Circulation. (a) The blood con.
gests In the limbs; (b) the venous sys.
TEN Is engorged; (c) the arterial pres.
sure falls; I'D the pulse rate dimin.
lshes, and (e) the velocity Of blood flow
decreases. Third.-Temperature. The
temperature falls during the night
The production Of heat is estimated to
diminish by from half to two-thirds
Fourth.-Nervous system. (a) The
blood flow through the brain Is dimln
ished; o. the acidity OF the cortex de
creases; (c) the excitability of con.
seriousness to external stimuli steadily
decreases during the first one to two
hours Of sound sleep. After that period
the exctability rapidly becomes al
most rs great as It Is toward the enc
Of sleep, and ID consciousness alon,
seems to be abrogated during sleep
The nerves and the special senses con
tinue to transmit Impulses and pro
duce reflex movements. Cerebral anac
mia Is the theory which has the mos
wide acceptance, but rs Leonard Hi
remarks, such speculations do not car
~ US far, and the causation Of sleeI
must still be regarded as metaphysical
While. however. the cause Of sleep still
continues to be enveloped In more OF
less mystery. Of one truth we are mucl
too frequently cognizant In the pres
ent age-that Of insomnia, possibly thu
worst misery to be imagined.
Highly wrought nervous organizn
lions produced by the high pressur
living Of our times are In this corintr.
rather the rule than the exception
Therefore the absolute need for pc
Rod Of repose spent among healthy. In
MIGRATING surroundings, which shoul'
be sine qua non with the tagged on

ton IL undoubtedly one of the most SC
rlous confronting the rising generatio,

and becomes more and more menacin

But May had other ideals. She longed
10 be a real heroine in one of life's wild
dramas. She cared for Harry more than
she dared admit, but tried to assure her
self that she was only flirting with him.
| Harry, on the other hand, became deeply
in love. AS they sailed in the moonlight
or rode through the shady woods on Sun
day afternoons he talked necessarily Of
happy days to come. May allowed him
to talk as he would; she thought II ro-
mantle to hear him thus converse.
Summer waned. Soon came the time
for May to return TO her home. Harry
at length grew disturbed. May had
hardly intimated that she cared for him.
and Of late he had sometimes thought her
cold. what could she mean! He must
know, Tor soon they must separate, and.
oh, would they part forever BY chance
they did not meet until the day prior to
Mays departure. Mays cheerful lowell
ness soon dispelled Harry's apprehen-
sions, and they wandered through the
wildwood to have their farewell talk.
Coming to shady dell, May sat down

the guest of Governor Stone at the ex-
ecutive mansion, where he was called
upon by large. number of senators and
members and other friends. Asked if he
had anything to say regarding the po-

naturally gratified with the fact that
over two-thirds of the Republican mem
bers of the legislature have from the
outset supported me and that there has
not been single break in the lines of
these stalwart Republicans, though the
contest has been prolonged for two
months. Information that has come to

A MURDER0Us CONSTABLE.
Searching a House For whisky, He
Kills a Woman.


Columbia, S. c., Feb. 27.-Mrs. John
Stuart, the woman shot Saturday night
by Dispensary Constable Crawford, who
was attempting to search her house for
whisky, died last evening from the eff
fects Of the wound. The womans hus-
band, who was shot at the same time,
will recover The four constables, who
were kept prisoners in a magistrates
Office until 5 O'Clock yesterday morning,
guarded by two militia companies, were
at that hour escorted by the troops and a
force of policemen and sheriff's posse to
the state penitentiary for safe keeping.
The four constables went at 6 O'Clock
Saturday evening to the residence Of
John Stuart, respectable citizen, for
the purpose of searching for whisky.
They went with search warrant, but
were met at the door by Mrs. Stuart.
She sent for her husband, who on ar
irving refused to permit the search.
Words followed, and finally Stuart ran
into the house. His wife had come on
the piazza From the doorway Stuart
opened fire on the constables. Crawford
returned it and shot Mrs. Stuart just
below the heart. Stuart was badly shot
in the mouth, his tongue being nearly
severed

Becker added that after throwing his

next morning he drove to the saloon Of
George Sutterlin and said he was free

rest his second wife, 17-year-old Eda

inquired continually for her. asking the
police why she was not released. He

AN EXTRA SESSION AvERTED.

to Terms.

Case the Manufacturers DO Not Come
to Terms.
Washington, March 2.--The last lin
gering possibility of an extra session of
congress disappeared yesterday when the
house passed the senate army reorganiza
ton bill. Very considerable and vigor-
Gus opposition to the acceptance of the
senate bill was voiced on both sides of
the hall, and for time ii appeared pos
sible that the bill would not secure the
necessary two-thirds to pass it under
suspension of the rules. But the Repub
lican leaders, Messrs. Henderson, eros
venor and Cannon, came to its support
on the Republican side and Mr.. Bailey,
the Democratic leader, threw the weight
of his influence in favor Of it on the
Democratic side, arguing that it provided
only for a temporary increase of the
army, which would be made permanent
If congress were convened in extra ses-
sion.
Another big element in the vote was
Mr.. Hull's recital OF a statement made
by the president to him that he would not
construct section II as authority to con-
script the minority in volunteer organiza-
tions which should elect to remain in
the service The bill passed by 203 to
%. 1t was signed by the president today.
The decks were also cleared Of many
other important matters. The general
deficiency appropriation bill, carrying
| 81 ,0S9,ov0, was passed under suspen-
sion of the rules, and the omnibus claims
BILL the naval personnel and many other
less important measures were agreed to.
The senate bill making Dewey a full adj
mIra was passed and now goes TO the
president.
The senate is rapidly clearing its decks
for final adjournment The naval APP
preparation bill, which ordinarily con-
sumes the time of the senate for several
days, was passed yesterday afternoon.
after less than five hours debate. In
that time, however, it was amended
radically in one respect. The price to
be paid by the government for armo"
plate was fixed in the bill at $500 a
ton, a reduction of the amount fixed by
the house of S145 ton. In addition
the secretary of the navy was author
lied in the event of the refusal of the
armor plate companies to supply armor
at $500 a ton to r~oceed to the construc-
ton of an armor factory to cost 81 800,
600 and placing in the secretarys con-
troll S2,o00.000 with which to operate the
government plant.
Another important measure which
passed the senate was the appropriation
bill carrying $20,o00,000 with which to
pay Spain for the REIMBURSEMENT OF the
Philippine Islands 1t was passed in
half a minute without a word of debate.

Che strain under which he has been for
