DR.. Pardini of Turin claims that he
has discovered that the best method of
treating obstinate insomnia Is to make
his patients initiate the drowsy nod
dings Of tired man while sitting In a
chair.
Every one who has ever watched a
sleepy man in train has probably
been amused by the neck distorting
mods which herald the approach Of
sleep. If the observer has given any
thought to the subject at all, he has
probably decided that the contortions
are due to the sleeper's unconscious eff
forts to preserve his balance. DR.. Par
DIM says that the balance has nothing
to do with 1t. He declares that nod
ding Is pathologic; that 1t is natures
own method Of inducing sleep.
This, If properly carried out, brings
the head of the patient almost upon
his right shoulder. The body Is then
to be inclined to the left and the head
allowed to roll In that direction, still
uncontrolled by the muscles. AS soon
as the head has reached the left Shout
der muscular control is to be resumed
and the head raised slowly until 1t is In
the same position as at the beginning
of the exercise. Then the whole meth
cd is to be repeated as long as needful.

The Arch Destroyer.

"He is n mean, sneaking, underhand-
ed element, the moth is" protests
John Kendrick Bangs In The Woman's
Home Companion. Fire has decent
sense of the proprieties. Moths have
none at all. When fire attacks you, II
smokes and .crackles and Kisses and
roars and let's you know In clarion
tones that 1t has come. The moth
steals upon you In the dead Of night
and chews up your best trousers,
gorges himself upon your wife's furs,
tickles his palate with your SWEETEST
flannel golf shirt, munches away upon
your handsomest rug, punches holes
In your best sofa cushions with his
tusks and then silently folds his tent
and steals away without so much as a
thank you for his meal For unmiti-
gated meanness commend me to the
moth! Alongside of the moth and his
nefarious work even a book agent
pales into insignificance and an unpaid
grocer's bill becomes an absolute pleas
ure"

Spanish Proverbs.

Proverbs uncomplimentary to the
fair sex are common In Spain. "a wo-
man, like a pavement, should be well
trampled on to be kept in ORDER" "a
woman is like a candle, Twist her
neck If you wish her to be good" BE
ware of bad woman, and do not trust
a good one;" Crying In woman and
limping in dog Is all n sham" "A
cock crows on his own dunghill, but
hens cackle everywhere" (this in refer
ence to the supposed garrulousness
and inquisitive disposition Of the sex)
"Show me n maybe without a spot
and will show you a woman without
a fault" In English counterparts are
not wanting. for example:
woman, a dog and a walnut tree
The more you beat them the better they be.
Mothers-in-law and stepmothers
come In for a good deal Of sarcasm.
Some Of the proverbs In regard to them
will not stand translation. OF a man
who is accounted lucky they say, IF
he fell from the roof of a house, he
would fall on the top Of his mother-in-
law."-Chambers' Journal.

TO INSURE
PURE BLOOD
Keep the Kidneys and Liver
Healthy, Active and Vigor-
Gus by Using
Or. A. w. ChASE'S
KIDNEY-LIvER PILLS

Nature makes an extra effort In the
spring to rid the blood Of Its impurities,
and the filters of the blood-the kidneys
and liver-are called upon to perform an
enormous amount of labor.
AS result, they become tired and ex-
hausted, and there are backaches, side
aches, headaches, and pains in the
shoulders and limbs. Digestion Is de-
ranged, and the languid, exhausted feel
ings of spring cause misery to the body.
There Is only one means of making
the blood pure, and that Is through the
kidneys and liver-the filters of the
blood. BY acting directly on these
delicate organs, DIR. Chase's Kidney
Liver Pills purify the blood as no other
preparation was ever known to do.
Mr.. VIM. l.. Maurey, Scottsville, N.
Y. writes: Liver complaint and i'm
pure blood were the bane of my life for
wears. My face was covered with
pimples and blotches, and l could get
nothing to help me until tried DR.. A.
w. Chase's Kidney-Liver Pills. My
skin is now clear, and l consider these
pills invaluable as remedy for consti-
patton, liver complaint and impure
blood. AS a kidney medicine they are
par excellence, and | shall recommend
them to my friends. +"

The most remarkable deed aver
drawn may be seen on the private es-
tate Of a resident Of Worcester In Mas
sachusetts. II is chiseled on a rock
on what is known as Rattlesnake hill,
situated near the boundary line be-
tween Worcester and Leicester.
Old Solomon Parsons, who was wide
ly known In Worcester county as an
eccentric character, and particularly
as crank on the subject of religion,
paid William G. Hall SIPS for parcel
Of land, and directed Hall to convey 1t
by deed to the Almighty. In order
that the greatest possible publicity
might be given to his disposition of the
property Parsons had the deed of
transfer cut into the rock verbatim ct
literatim.
During his lifetime Parsons Is said
to have made several attempts to have
the deed recorded, but the register of
deeds. who was aware of his eccen-
tricity, each time put him off with the
explanation that no official record was
required In the case of a transfer of
real estate to the Almighty.
Parsons died intestate several years
ago, and the administrator included
the parcel of land on Rattlesnake hill
In the inventory Of the old gentleman's
estate which he filed in the probate
court. wag of lawyer raised the
question of title, but the judge decided
In the favor of the administrator

Making Barrels.

.Cooperage is one OF the trades that
no one thought of improving until with
In recent years." said manufactures,
"but then the inventors and expert ma
ch.nists started In with such a rush
that il takes good deal OF our time
keeping abreast of the improvements
that are coming into the market every
day.
..The work used to be done entirely
by hand, and the coopers often had to
buy their hoops from firm that made
nothing else. The coopers were not
well enough equipped to make all the
different parts Of barrel themselves,
and often they bought everything out
side and merely put the barrels togeth-
er. 1t used to take five or six men to
do the work properly, and an hours
time would perhaps turn out ten bar
rels.
"As the system Is now, all the differ
ent parts are made by one machine,
and only one man Is needed to attend
II. After the wood Is fashioned into
slaves and hoops and braces by 1t the
pieces are run through another section
of 1t and come out almost Immediately
a finished barrel, ready to be loaded
and shipped to our customers.
"On a regular average about 80 bar
rels can be turned out In an hour. You
can see what the saving is over the old
way. Employing six men for one hour,
as they used to do, we can get 160 bar
rels, where by the old system they
were only able to get ten."-Pittsburg

mamma thought 1t would be a good

All the time mamma laughed, and he
was getting madden. and SO he said she

after that, and he tore the tickets up
and rushed out somewhere alone. He

MORE MONEY
NOW NEEDED.
Public Library Funds Insuf-

HEARING BEFORE COMMITTEE.
Trustees Of Corporation Made a Plain
Statement Of the Facts.
APPROPRIATION MAY Be LARGER.
Providence Pays Less for Public Library
Than Any Other City In New England.
Sun Asked for Is $4,000.
APPROPRIATION MAY BE LARGER.

The committee on finance of the city
council gave a hearing 20 the board of
trustees Of the Providence Public Library
yesterday, upon the proposition that the
city should annually appropriate $4,000
toward the maintenance of that valuable
institution. This was the proper time 10
consider the subject. as the finance COM
mittee is about to apportion the revenue
to be derived from the new assessment OF
taxes.
The cost OF maintaining the library for
the coming year will be $4,000. The trli3-
tees had been to heavy expense in NOV
ing from the old to the new quarters, and
in addition 10 that extraordinary outlay,
there was an increase of clerical force
made absolutely necessary by the num-
ber o; departments to be looked after ana
the increased patronage of the public
The expenses for 1899 were s262Sl. and
the income s23.62l, leaving a deficit of
s2sl3. Fewer new books than usual were
therefore purchased IN fact n smaller
number than at any time during the last
ten years
The trustees had been Obliged TO draw
upon the principal invested and the deficit
threatened TO become so large that In
short time the city would have to assume
the entire cost of maintenance or the IL
brary doors would have TO be closed.
The trustees Informed the finance COM
mittee that Providence contributes less
for the maintenance OF it's public library
than does any other city In New England.
The committee held the matter under
consideration.
