SLEEP Al A CURE FOR HUNGER
Starving Peasants of Russia Are Conn

Starving Peasants of Russia Are Com.
 pelIed to Try the Remedy.
 About the beginning of this century a distinguished French philanthropist, A. Joux, advised poor people to sleep as much as possible during the winter months, as only thus would they be able to live with any degree of com fort. This strange theory is now being tested by many persons in Russia, and, according to report which has been issued, their. almost complete absti. nence from food has produced no harmful result, and eveu has from their standpoint proved highly benefi cial. These people live at Pskow, a district south of St. Petersburg, and the reason why they have adopted the practice of sleeping during the winter months is because for the last few years their crops have been insufficient to provide them with the necessary of the district saw that starvation means of sustenance. When the elders of the district saw that starvatiog stared the people in the face they ad- yised them to make their remaining stock of food last as long as possible, and to go to sleep during the winter. This suggestion was adopted. The members of each family stretch them selves on cots around the large stove and slumber day and night. Once in the twenty-four hours they get up and refresh themselves with morsel of hard bread baked last autumn and 8 drink Of water, after which they lie down again and snore calmly. Appar- entity some of the poorest inhabitants of Pskow have been in the habit of hi- bernating for some years, but the prae- tice did not become general until re- gently, and it has now only attracted the attention of phi1anthropfsts and of physicians. Medical men in St. Peters burg have decided to investigate the matter closely, as they are especially anxious to obtain answers to two ques1 tions: First, does the temperature Of persons who remain torpid and who sleep for whole months in this fashion undergo any change? And, second, in what other manner, if any, does this mode of living affect persons physical. ly and mentally New York Herald

CLEANLINESS WITHOUT SOAP.
That the Boors Don't Use It Doesn't
 Prove They're Dirty.

Surely too much importance is at- tached to the scarcity of soap in the Boers farm houses, says the London Truth. People may be very clean and use very little soap. The Russians and Japanese cleanse themselves with va DOT baths, rarely using soap when they do so. A really healthy skin cleenses Itself Rough inside clothing, which. l presume, the Boers wear, is great skin cleanser. have known of doctors curing skin diseases by insisting on lingerie de luxe being cast aside and coarse undergarments worn instead.

They were to use bran and a slice of lemon. The lemon was to remove ink stains, and In summer 10 keep off gnats and mosquitoes.

It Is said that the recent visitors to the Yellowstone Park have discovered that the famous geysers there are gradually subsiding. One newspaper believes that if their force continues to diminish in the degree in which 1t has diminished in the last four years, the geysers vii probably become ex- tinct within decade. This is what these recent visitors claim to have dis covered: That Roaring Mountain, although still circulating steam, no longer roars, and therefore, no longer deserves its name; that Black Growler. in Norris Basin, is in feeble state. and that Fou,.tain Geyser, in tke Low CT Basin, and the Splendid and Bee hive Geyser, in the Upper Basin, are practically dead.

It also injured the American exportation of Blue Points to England Profs. Herdman and Boyce went to live among oysters of Lancashire to find out if they are really so dangerous. They looked into the cause of the color of green oysters. "The green hue," they pictaresquely say in their report, Is equally familiar to the man who raises them for the market, to the one who raises them from their bed with a pair Of rakes, and also to him wbo raises them out of their own juices from the half shell by means of sll- yer trident.

It is amusing to hear the inspec- tor call negro halfway up the plank with a tie on his shoulder to throw it away among the heap of bad ties. The negro gets no credit for his load and goes back swearing at his bad luck, while his companions stop their music and burst into loud, uncomfortable laughter.
