1t is now said that the peanut - n
certain cure for insomnia. A citizen Of
philadelphia, who has tried it says he
has slept but little for five years, and
fifty roasted n sailed peanuts eaten
after he had retired put him in a sounI
sleep. Since that time he has always
kept peanuts by his bedside. They
have never failed of their effect, and I
have noticed Furthermore that my at
Itacks Of insomnia have decreased from
an average of eight a month to two

making the same claim for the efficacy
Iof peanuts in curing insomnia.

PECULIAR RESULT OF DINGLEY
TARIFF BILL.

There has arisen in England a pecu-
liar situation growing out of the high
tariff duties in this country on paint
ings and other works of art, and the
people affected in this instance are of
the rich American class. The result
will be that the wealthy Americans who
own such articles in London must pay
large sums to our government for the
privilege of bringing them home, must
rent storage houses for them over
there or must sell them at a sacrifice.
There are many paintings and other
works of art, costing immense sums,
owned by Americans who have loaned
them to British museums. This is done
chiefly to avoid the cost of storage,
insurance, etc. The museums have
decided to no longer keep these loans,
and their owners must hereafter take
care of them. If they are put upon the
market by their owners in preference
TO storing them or paying the heavy
import duty which bringing them to
America would necessitate, they will go
at a sacrifice and thus thousands of dol
lars OF American money would go to
increase the possessions Of British md
other European art collectors. Thus
the Dingley bill deprives us of valuable
art treasures that should be in America
and helps the people Of Europe to add
to their collections at the expense of the
American people. There could be no
greater absurdity enacted into a law.
The reason assigned by the museums
for no longer keeping these articles is
that they need the space for their
permanent exhibits. The rule applies
to articles loaned by home people as
well as by foreigners.

1t must be a terrible strain on the
beef trust to have to water it's stock
and its cattle, too.-Atlanta Journal.
This is returning to first principles.
The term watering stock as applied to
corporations got it's origin from a
New York cattle raiser years ago,
who was in the habit. when he took a
lot of cattle to market TO give them a
quantity of salt and then as much
water as they would drink before he
had them weighed. At least such is
the fable.

The democratic candidate for attor-
lney general OF New York having been
elected, the question has been raised
whether Governor Odell will accept him
as his legal adviser or employ some 9TH
er lawyer more suitable to his taste and
leave the attorney general to the per
Torrance of the more formal duties Of
his office, as is allowed under the laws
of that state. Mr.. Roosevelt when gov
!ernor pursued this course; but Govern
or dell when he went into Office relied
upon the attorney general for legal ac-
vice and employed no other lawyer. He
will be pretty apt to make a change
when he enters Upon his seconi Term
and employ special counsel. This does
not in any way cur.ail the powers or
Authority of the autJ.ncy general.
Such course would seemingly be as
agreeable to the attorney general as to
the governor. for 1T would relieve him
from an awkward posi.ioa.

The Washington Post accounts for
the defeat of Mr.. Norton, a congress
sional candidate in Ohio in the follow
ing: THE defeat of Congressman Nor
ton, Of Ohio. is u to a complicated
Icircusfcation OF the campaign. The
man who defeated him was at one time
the proprietor of a tent show and wore
an overcoat trimmed with fur. During
the campaign he went about the district
on a tallyho coach and carried a brass
band and a party of coon songsters.
Then, in addition to this grotesque fea-
ture. Tom Johnson invaded the district
a d threw a few of his oratorical flip
flaps. Mr.. Norton is an excellent gen.
tleman. and has been a most effective
representative of his district in con-
gress. but the double dose of spectacu-
lar campaigning was too much for
