FOR SLEEPLESS ONES.
Darkness the Proper Time for Refreshing
 Sleep.

Sleep.
 The old tradition that the hours of sleep before midnight are hours of beauty sleep" means only that late hours take away beauty Thousands Of night workers Will testify that eight hours of sleep from 10 to is wortL ten hours taken after retiring at i o'clock in the morning. Darkness is the proper time for the sleep that does the most good. It is not well to sleep in room in which plants are grow ing. Their food is carbonic acid gas. Ii they can live there the room is a bad place for you to sleep in Besides, plants use up a good deal of oxygen and give off effluvia and pollen irritat- ing to the human system. The sound- est sleep is during the first three or four hours after going to bed This has been ascertained by scientific ex- perlment, though most people think they sleep soundest just before the time when conscience tells them to get up. 1nsomia often comes from over- eating. A little dieting may do more good than lot of doctors prescrip- tions. More persons suffer from over- eating than from overWorking. Long. deep breathing kept up as long as pos sible by will power is the most gen orally recommended remedy for occa- sional sleeplessness. The main aim in such cases is to keep the mind from thinking. This is sometimes accom- plished by the strain of keeping the eye fixed on some point in the ceiling or keeping the will fixed on the effort not to move even the smallest muscle. Monotony will put any man to sleep in spite of himself Most psychologists acknowledge that deep study of any subject just before going to sleep may result in something like revelation as to some phase of the subject, the mind through unconscious eerebration accomplishing wonders without the as- sistance of the will. Passages to be memOrized should be repeated several times before going to bed Sometimes the sleeplessnss of children is owing to eXeitation of the digestive organs. In that case it is a good plan to allow only vegetable foods at the evening neal.

VESSEL WENT OWN,
Pilot Boat Was Wrecked by a California
 Gray Whale.

The wreck of the pilot boat Bonita, on the night of July 20, off San Fran cisco Bay, was an incident if not ur- pafalleled iI maritime annals suffici- ently rare to make it worthy of record. The Bonita was enc of the finest of her class, and since 1892 has been sta toned off the Golden Gate, intercept ing vessels bound for that difficult and fog-infeeted harbor
 On the night of the wreck the off, eefs and crew, With the exception of the man at the wheel, were just at supper. The fog was so dense that objects a cable length away were invisible. Suddenly a shock of sufficient violence to knock the men off their seats was felt throughout the ship. Supposing that collision had occurred, the crew rushed to the deck, but no other yes- sel was in sight. Sounding the pumps It was discovered that the Bonita was sinking, and at the same tine one of those enormous gray whales Ieomed up on the side of the craft and d.sclos- ed the cause Of the accident The Bonita remained aao&t lens ncagh to allow che crew time to secure ,5leir effects and laaneh taai. boats. They were subsequently, picked up by in coming vessels. The wreck ocsmrel about six miles southeast Of the Far allones, and now lies in six ldsH9ms depth ei water She may be raised, l though the operation will be difieait on account of the strong currents at .hls point The California gray whale Is the largest of the species, and is seen on the California coast from No sehloer until May.
