An English physician of distinction
gives these suggestions for cure of in
somnia: In cases where the patient
sleeps for an hour or two, then wakens
with a start and cannot go to sleep
again the physician recommends that a
hot water compress be laid on the alb
domen. When one cannot go to sleep
on retiring and is unable to dismiss
thoughts that have occupied the day, it
is advised that the patient keep his
feet in water as hot as he can bear
comfortably for ten minutes before ,go-
ing to bed. He should then puts a
pair of thin cotton hose wrung oHf-of
cold water and over those pair of
wooden ones. A more powerful remedy
is a mustard sitz bath, with the proper
ton of a teacupful Of mustard to a gal
Ion Of hot water. He should remain
seated in the bath from 10 to 20 min
utes. In many cases reclining bath
in tepid water is useful as sedative.

The Funniest Story?

Sir Wilfrid Laurier once said that he
considered the following the funniest
story in the world. Do you agree with
him?
A gentleman was once being taken
over an idiot asylum. He asked an at
tendant how they knew when an idiot
was considered to be sufficiently restor
ed to sanity to be discharged.
"Oh," said the attendant. lit is easily
managed. We take them into a yard
where there are several troughs. We
turn on the taps and then give the
idiots buckets to bail out the water
and empty the troughs. Many of thell
go on bailing away while the tap keeps
running, but them that isn't idiots
stops the tap"

Tit For Tat.

A celebrated but very vain and over
bearing French painter in Paris had a
pet dog that was taken i'll, and he had
the audacity to send for one of the
leading physicians in the capital. on
the assumption that veterinary sur
geon was not good enough for the val
liable dog of so great a parsonage as
himself.
The physician who had been honored
with the summons was at first petri-
fed at the impertinence Of the notion,
but soon recovered his equanimity and
returned the following message to the
knight of the brush:
"Would NJ M be good enough to
step over to my house. as have a
couple of new window shutters that
want painting?"

One Of the most remarkable railroads
in the United States is that which runs
from Fabyan, at the foot of Mount
Washington, to the summit-a distance
of 1888 miles. The time required in
making the ascent is one and one-half
hours, which is at the rate of a mile
in q minutes. The descent is made in
the same time. The fare is 81 for tie
round trip, or at the rate of 60 cents
a mile No other road in the wo Id
charges quite so much and few run
trains at speed quite. so slow. About
5000 passengers are carried annually.

Mr.. Moody, leaning sturdily against
the tent pole. led the meeting. Sudden
ly there came from him the plump
question, Brethren, how many of you
have so grown in grace that you can
bear to have your faults told?"
Many hands went up. Quick as a

ingly, Mr.. Moody turned to a young
minister and said:
Brother, you have spoken IS times
in II days here and perhaps shut out
II other good men from speaking"
1t was true. The young man had
been presuming and officious. He had
held up his hand, but he could not bear
to be chidden, and now he stoutly de.
Tended himself. only making matters
worse. Then another minister broke
forth and berated Mr.. Moody for his
bluntness The latter blushed. but lis
tened until the reproof was done. Then
he suggestively covered his face and
spoke through his fingers, Brethren,

my hand!'-Youth's Companion.

In all large cities there is a way Of
getting rid of undesirable persons by
means of giving them a ''pauper's
pass" to some city to which they want
to go.
1t seems that lawyer who is quite
well known about town and who, like
many other persons. is not averse to
travelling on free ticket had made
several requests to certain official for
pass to New York. He had been re-
fused number of times, but with a
persistence worthy of better cause he
continued to bore his official friend
Finally he was supplied will the mag
ic pasteboard, and without looking at
it he went to the railroad station and

rather imposing appearance, was read
supposed to be second nature to those
who never pay their carfare held out
his pass, never even glancing at the
conductor. That official took the pass,
read it carefully, looked at the holder
of it and then examined the pass again
with considerable care. The lawyer,
noticing that the conductor seemed to
be giving the pass more than ordinary
attention, stared at the official with a
manner that indicated that he might at
least be director and asked with con-
siderable warmth, "Anything the mat
ter with that pass?'
The conductor looked at his question
