Cure for Insomnia.
Ladies' Home Journal.


Insomnia is self-inficted curse through
the violation Of natures laws. The cause
may be overanxiety. planning for the NOR
row, thinking and worrying over the yes
terdays and to-days, but no opiate can re-
move the cause. even though 1t may bring
sleep. If the cause is merely mental over
work 1t may be quickly removed by reliev-
Ing the brain Of the excess of blood. Phys
ical exercise IS a panacea for about every
ailment which human flesh is heir to.
Therefore. stand erect and rise slowly from
the heels; descend slowly. Do this from
forty to fifty times until you feel the con-
gestion In the muscles of the leg. Almost
instant relief follows and sleep is soon in
duced. For those who are averse to little
work / would recommend, instead, bowl
of very hot milk without much as a
wafer) Immediately before retiring. The
hotter the milk the better for the purpose.
This will prove a better sleep producer
than all the opiates known to medical sci
ence. 1t brings about an increased activity
of the blood vessels of the stomach, caus-
ing slight temporary congestion which re-
lieves the blood vessels of the brain. The
hot milk is also quite Strengthening to the

The New York Tribune thinks t,at IL the
new secretary of war makes up his mind TO
attack the chronic abuses of the War De-
partment and goes about the work in
fearless and resolrte spirit 'he is sure to
command the sympathy and approval OF the
country and may reasonably hope to en-
nance his reputation. even though he may
fail 10 achieve a full measure of success"
Undoubtedly, but the work is not
adapted TO the tastes OF a lawyer nor likely
TO be accomplished by any person who does
not possess professional knowledge OF mill
tary Affairs AMI the needs of the army. The
understanding at present seems TO be that
the new secretary will address himself
chiefly TO the legal questions arising in our
new possessions under military rule, leaving
the administration of strictly department
affairs TO others.

INGERsOLL's SPIRIT TALKS.
Mrs. Richmond Seixes ON the AgnOs.
tics Death for Observation-Disclosures.

tics Death for Self-Adverttsement.
SPRINGFIELD. Mo-, July 24-Fully 1000
people attended the Zoo Park SpiritualiSt
camp meeting last night to hear Mrs. Cora
l.. v, Richmond deliver an address under
the control of Robert G. Ingersoll. Mrs.
Richmond claims to have been the first
earth medium through whom the spirit OF
Henry Ward Beecher found voice. After
a song by the choir President Underwood
introduced the medium to the eager audi
ence. No speaker ever had a more atten.
tive hearing. There was not a whisper or a.
movement in the crowded pavilion.
Mrs. Richmond began to speak I'm the first
person, addressing the audience as Colonel
Ingersoll and describing the sensations ex-
perienced in dying. The spirit said that
the other life was yet a great mystery. but
that no moment of Inconsistencies inter-
vened at death. In passing out of the body
there was no pain, but quiokened sensa-
ton as though delirium had resulted from
illness. The spirit passed into new body.
The earthly form Of life lay before the risen
spirit and the weeping friends of the de-
ceased could be distinctly seen and heard
standing by the side Of the lIfeless body.
pulseless heart, and yet feeling every fac
ulty of the mind alive and active. a pro-
presence of spirit friends and a fuller reali-
zation Of the changed condition of existence
made the new arrival In the spirit world
more conscious that death had actually oc-
CURED.
The message spoke of the agnostic's fall
to investigate the evidences of immor-
tally and candidly retracted any MATERIAL
istic views that Colonel Ingersoll had ever
taught. While doubling a future life. the
speaker had always longed for one. and
never felt satisfied with his philosophy
when standing by the side of an open
grave. With respect 10 his warfare on

Colonel Ingersoll had found no wrathful
wardens guarding the tree of life, no yawn-
ing abyss for single erring soul, no throned
tuning their harps for his delight. There
was no flight through space in reaching the
other life, but the two worlds seemed TO
intermingle. The spirits live and move with
Of liberty grows rapidly with the con-
its earth moorings. Vast vistas of golden
delights mark the future course OF the spirit
life and freedom. The spirit had already
discovered that each soul enters into an
inheritance of his thoughts and deeds in
this life Immediately at death. There
was no escaping this law of compensation
and retribution. Whatsoever Is sown in this
world must be reaped in the next. is the
message which Mrs. Richmond delivered
from Colonel Ingersoll.
The address lasted about half hour and
closed with the statement that speaking
through new instrument and organism
was not easy or safe for the medium. The
style OF the address was clear and some
times elegant but the language did not

One of them. in an address on the subject,
says:
Not only Is the work a disjointed intellect
tous and utterly improbable story, but it's
inexcusable and despicable slurs upon men
of the Southern race should forbid teachers
or boards of school trustees having any self
respect or regard for the honor of our peo-
pie or the verified truths of history to per-
init Its use in our common schools.
The literary workmanship and thrilling
interest of the story above criticism,
but its real fault from Confederate point
of view is that 1t seeks to make treason
odious. Dead issues need not be dug up,
but as there are many children of Northern
parents in the public schools of Dallas the
book might be left in the library for their
benefit. 1t will not hurt those who do not
read IL.

prayer and praise services, is scarcely out
of town before the Journal has received the
preliminary announcement and programme
of the international Drinks Exhibition"
20 be held in New York next Dec. 6 to %.
We read that "art is long and time is fleet
ing," but it seems some people have enough
time TO spare TO devote two weeks to the
art of compromising international drinks.
1T is stated that the exhibition
will be held under the auspices
and patronage of the various pro-
tective associations OF the allied drinks
manufacturing trades of the United States,
Canada. and Mexico. The programme an
nounces prizes for variety of things
not witnessed in religious or scientific as
semblages. lectures on various topics con-
nected with the manufacture of distilled and
malt liquors and exhibits of numerous bot
Ting and other mechanical appliances en-
tirely different from the "old oaken bucket
that hung in the we'll" As the consumption
OF drinks is only less universal than that of
foods this unique exhibit will probably at
tract a large crowd, but that is no reason
why the association should be urged TO
hold its next annual exhibit in this city.
