SLEEP ON A COLD SMOKE.
Pumng an Empty pipe Said TO Be an
Insomnia Cure.

y Insomnia Cure.
After giving a fair and patient trial
to each Of many alleged cures for
sleeplessness the writer stumbled across
q simple method Of inducing somno-
! Icnce that has the merit of being harm
! less and Inexpensive. To smokers the
! remedy involves 10 cost whatever, but
I of nousmokeTs the capital outlay of
+ tie price Of 81 pipe is required. TX must
] he i wooden pipe and curved not
I straight
Having retired for the night. the suf-
T farcr should lie perfectly fat on his
back, discardine pillow rests, and pun
steadily at an empty pipe until lie feels
thoroughly drowsy. The desired result
usually is achieved after from about
sixty to q hundred pufis have been
made. The putting should be done
slowly. with a deep inhaling movement.
The expelling motions must be made
deliberately with narrowed mouth.
During the entire operation the pipe
should not be removed, as each displac-
ing and replacing movement tends to
wakefuInesS.
Those capable of great concentration
of thought should, if smokers imagine
they see volumes of smoke, and those
who eschew the burning weed VIII be
helped by counting the puffs.
AS sleep is often successfully wooed
while yet the pipe is in the mouth,
bowls of meerschaum or clay are not
recommended. since these are liable to
be broken when the coming Of slumber
allows the pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be reas-
sured that there is no danger in falling
asleep with the stem edge of a curved
pipe caught between ones teeth. Sleep
always occasions the grip to be re-
moved That may hold also Of straight
pipes. but for other and obvious rea-
sons these are less suitable than those
with curved stems.-New York Mail
and Express.
