HOW TO CURE INSOMNIA

1t is now a generally recognized fact
that one of the most prolific causes Of
insomnia is overeating, that practice 1e
sulting usually in a disturbed condition
Of the digestive organs If in nothing more
serious. Tho remedy in such cases is
obvious enough. Cases are common
where insomnia of protracted and stub
born nature has yielded to a period of
fasting. There are few cases of sleep
lessness. in fact, in which little dieting
may not bc tried with good effect Con-
ious drinking Of cold water just before
retiring is often highly efT1cacious. Deep
will power is a generally recommended
remedy for occasional sleeplessness the
main aim being to keep the mind from
thinking.

A-standing by the bed;
They suddenly began to talk,
And this was what they said:
"NNere just as tired as we can be,
We've been most everywhere;
And now our little master rests

IHe's had his bath and sweetly sleeps
'TUixt sheets both neat and clean.
While we are left to stand outside;
Now don't you think it mean?
"We've carried him from morn till night;
He's quite forgot that's plain; =.
While here we watch and wait and wait
Till morning comes again.
"And then he'll tramp and tramp and

Just carry him away,
EWhere he could never go to bed,
But stay up all night,

TRUE NOBILITY.
TITS NOT n tho no oec of story
The heart of its ills to begule,
Though he who makes courtship to glory
Gives all that he hath for her smile,
For when from her heights he has won
her
Alas it is only to prove
That nothing'S SO sacred as honor
And nothing so loyal as love!
We cannot make bargains for blisses,
Nor catch them, like fishes, in nets
And sometimes the thing our life misses
Helps more than the thing which it
gets,
For good lieth not in pursuing,
Nor gaining of great nor of small,
But just in the doing, and doing
AS we would be done by is all.
Through envy, through malice, through
hating
Against the world, early and late,
No jot of our courage abating-
Our part is to work and to wait
And slight is the sting of his trouble
Whose winnings are less than his worth,
For he who is honest is noble,
Whatever his fortunes or birth

lSTHMlAN CANAL ENEMIES,
A SUGGESTION AS TO NJ. HUTIN's MOTIVE
IN COMING TO AMERICA.
tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE ]

washington. Oct 2o-President Maurice Hutin of
.he fFehch Panama Canal Company will resume
ms conferences tomorrow with Chairman John G.
walker and other members Of the United States
Isthmian Canal Commission 1t IS not vet definitely
known what the real object OF NJ Hutin's confer
ehces with these commissioners IS. In point OF
iact' NJ. Hutin does not appear wholly to have
VeaIed, even TO these men, the whole OF his motive.
OF course, 1t is known in a general yay that he is
preparing proposition for the sale of the French
Panama franchise the United States but in
view or the fact that Rear-Admral Walker and
MS associate commissioners known seriously to
doubt the practicabiity Of the Panama route it is
not understood what NJ Hutin hopes to gain from
them. unless IT be shrewdly TO extract some valu-
able information as to the forthcoming report which
the Walker Commission is to make to Congress.
II the commission reports strongly against the
Panama route the promoters of the scheme to sell
the french concern TO this country could not ex-
pect 10 receive much encouragement from Congress.
Indeed, If the report shows that the Nicaragua
Canal be constructed for $2o0O0OOo or there
abouts. and that already more than that amount
has been spent by France in Panama without OBJ
tanning satisfactory results, it is reasonable to sup
pose that the Panama scheme, whatever it may be,
would not have a leg TO stand on in Congress-
This remark is applicable a situation in
Congress which is known TO threaten opposition
TO all canal legislation at the behest of trans
continental railroads and other large and resource
ful transportation corporations. Already these in
Hay-Pauncefoie canal treaty that win be sent to
the Senate soon after that body meets in December,
and which for the first time, correctly out
lined in The Trbune's Washington dispatches last
week. They are basing their arguments against
the treaty the ground that the instrument
VIII not definitely provide for the fortihcaton of
the Nicaragua Canal by the United States.
II is that the treaty does not stipuate in
terms that the United States shall fortfy but the
right fortify is reserved to this government
under the general authority and duty to preserve
the neutrality of the canal. This fact amply
justiies the statement by The Tribune that the
right fortify would he conferred the United
States by the Hay-PaunCefote treaty. 1t is
noteworthy that NJ. Hutn and his associates are
having the statement go forth broadly over the
country that United States before entering into
a new compact with Great Britain to Nicaragua,
should insist that right fortify is distinctly
nominated in the bond. II is thought probable
that the enemies of canal legislation will raise this
point when the revised Hay-Pauncefote convention
Is submitted to the Senate for ratification.
