Nod and Drop AsIeep.

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

chair.
Every one who has ever watched q
sleepy man In train has probably
been amused by the neck distorting
mods which herald the approach Of
sleep. IL 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 it. He declares that nod
ding is pathologic; that it is natures
own method of inducing sleep.

their natural destination will be those
reglments-one of the great aims Of
this movement being to establish a
reserve for the volunteers exactly like
that which the army reserve and the
militia constitute In relation to the
regular army.
The originator of the whole big
movement Is the Earl of Meath, and
the man who has helped him most to
bring his dream TO reality is one Paul
Kruger; for both Parliament aud the
people II represents were never so
ready for just this sort of thing as
they are to-day.
Lord Meath's efforts began In 1898,
with the formation OF small band of
supporters, who founded a boy COM
pany called the British Brigade, at
the request of the head masters of the
several schools. exactly on the lines
that the new national system will
take. Lord Meath kept agtatlng the
subject. and now the war In South
Africa has given the needed impetus
to the project II has the endorsement
of Lord Roberts, of Generals Methuen
and Wolseley, and of host of men
prominent in every walk of life.
