CURE FOR INSOMNIA.
Senator Vance Had a Cure for Sleep
eAs That Made Sleep
Unnecessary.

During the last term OF the late SEN
ator .sZeb" Vance, of North Carolina,
aman noted at the capital and through
out the south as a wit, he was met
walking down Pennsylvania avenue
about two o'clock one winter morning
by Maj. E. B. Pope, now western pas
senger agent for the Chesapeake &
Ohio road in ST. Louis, says the De-
troit Free Press.
Seeming a senatorial poker party
somewhere or else a late supper at
Chamberlin's, Maj. Pope, with feigned
seriousness, said:
Good morning. senator. Isn't it a
little early for you to be taking a
stroll?"
mo, sab. drawled the senator, with
all his southern dignity, sit is very
usual for me to walk about Washing
ton at this hour"
.Ah, / see," replied Maj. Pope, back
ing water as it were, insomnia. I
know how it is myself"
Maj. Pope,"s said Vance, "Ilong ago
found out a sure cure. If / do not at
once go to sleep l get up and take a
drink of corn whisky. l go back to
bed, and if sleep doesn't come immedi-
ately, I get up and take another dram.
Igo back to bed, and then, if / see
sleep is still slow in coming to me, |
get up and take another drink. And do
vou know, majah, after I've had five or
six drains of corn whisky, l don't care
a rap if l never go to sleep"

SOMETHING ABOUT roN1cs.
Restful Foods and Moderate Muscu.
lar Exercise Are suficient in
Most Caaes.

| Inc need 1Or medlclnai tonnes Is
| manifested after illnesses of all sorts,
and in conditions of physical depres-
sion which SO readily expose the suf-
ferer to the inroads of disease, that
they are commonly regarded as them
selves but ~initiatory symptoms of dis
eases.
Young children and the aged, par
ticularly, obtain benefit from tonic
medicines, especially in states of NAL
nutrition without definite signs OF
disease; but in youth and middle age
it is frequently better to improve de-
pressed vitality by strictly hygienic
measures, says Youths Companion.
Flabby muscles, due to illness or dis
ease, respond to no tonic SO well as to
massage and gradually progressive
use. Quick, light exercises are invari-
ably better than heavy and laborious
exertion.
The value Of moderate muscular ex-
ercise as a tonic to the heart is well
recognized by physicians. The abso-
lutte quiet sometimes %enjoined upon
persons suffering from certain dis
eases of the heart is a measure EN-
ployed, as a rule, only to meet a crisis.
When the crisis is passed progressive
muscular exercises are prescribed.
When the intestinal tract suffers
from lack of tonicity, variety in diet is
usually a better and effective
remedy han medicine. Oatmeal, peas,
beans and certain cereals, although
I they contain an immense amount of
nutrition, are difficult of assimilation,
especially when not subjected to thor
ough cooking. The digestive organs
may be strained by the task OF reduc-
ing such concentrated foods to the
used of the body.
A diet composed largely or exclu-
sively of milk used for a time may in
itself prove sufficient rest to the stom-
ach to enable it to regain its normal
activity. Many other "restful' foods
might also be temporarily employed.
1t must be stated that many who are
supposed to suffer from a need of gen.
eral tonics suffer rather from the lack
of work to employ their hands and
brains. Inc pleasure OF dccoiiipiish-
ment is one of natures w tonies. OF
the manv Who are worried and driven
by daily care. md whose health actu-
ally suffers IL ~efrom, most might es-
cape the i'll effects by temporary d.
version. Some "fad" might well be
cultivated. The tonic effects OF travel
or change of scene cease to be effec-
tive when the depressing physical eff
fects of the daily grind have been car
ried to the last extreme. 1t is dufficult

lady whose heart they failed to car

Another heart is now proposed by
the auctioneer, and her charms de-

admitted TO her society.

FOOTWEAR FOR THE HOUSE.
Suggestions Concerning the Latest
In Slippers for Dress
Occasions

There are two ways of dressing the
feet. One is as plainly as possible and
the other is as deliberately. Between
the two there seems to be no line
drawn. The plain low cut slippers
with their French heels are very be-
coming to the foot and there is a dull
finish that is liked well. Then there
are the satin slippers and the glazed
kid.
These are all to be worn with very
handsomely embroidered stockings,
for the plainness of the slippers must
be amply compensated by the elabora-
ton of the stocking scheme, says the
Brooklyn Eagle.
And along this line it can be told
that there are new stockings made
with all the trimming up the back.
A wide panel of color goes up the back
from the heel to the top; while the
front of the stocking may be in white.
Then there come the Napoleonic
slippers with their bright red heels
and a bow of velvet upon the instep,
very large and placed almost erect.
There is a great knack in making this
bow with its four stiff loops and no
ends at all.
To make such a bow take bright,
blood red velvet, stiffen the loops,
make them very wide, and set the bow
upon the instep, 1t should be almost
as large as the foot.
White satin slippers and slippers OF
white suede, and of white velvet, are
trimmed with bows of chiffon n
bows of tulle. They are decorated
with bows of taffeta and with bows of
half silk and half tissue. There are
also bows which are a bewildering as
sortment and mingling of cloth-of-sil-
yer and chiffon.
These bows are put on fiat in the
foppy way, so that they spread at
each side of the foot, making one large
platter-like bow, relieved from fiat
ness only by the fact that the material
is fluffy.
And in the bows there are fastened
pearls which dance on spirals; and
there are fastened little glittering or
naments that fash at a urn of the
foot.

AUCTION SALE OF HEARTS.
An Entertaining Novel Wayfto Cele-
brase the Feast of God
st. Valentine.

There could be no gayer plan for
celebrating the feast of good Saint
Valentine than an auction sale of
hearts. Beyond ~suspending a sheet
in the center of the drawing-room,
in case it is not convenient to devote
two rooms TO your guests, no ar
ranging is necessary.
If there are two rooms employed
let the girls of the party all with
draw into one of these, the men re-
naming in the other. The folding
doors are closed or partly drawn and
the girl whose heart is first to be
auctioned is decided upon among the
ladies'. The men r kept in total
ignorance of the results of this de-
cision.
Some one, who is a clever talker,
then mounts a chair, and, armed
with a hammer, begins to auction off
the heart of the girl chosen. He
does not describe her in such a way
that she can be recognized, but
dwells upon her particular charms
Her wit. if she is witty. her beauty
if she is beautiful. her ~vivacity if
she is vivacious. and so on.

THE PROFESSORS DISCOVERY.
All His Learning Went for Nausht
when the Supposed Antique
Was Opened.

1t took the professor a lifetime to master
the intricacies of the old Egyptian hero
glyphics. One day he discovered a roll of
papyrus, containing in one place mysterious
marks too faint to be d~eciphered, says the
New York Sun.
1t took the professor a week to hnd out
that the papyrus was in a double layer
with the mysterious marks in between.
1t took the professor another week to
separate the layers of the papyrus without
tearing it.
1t took the professor practically no time
at all to read the writing, which ran as
follows:
MY name is Blanche Terwiliiger. Iwork
in McGuire's factory of antiquities at 0sh-
kosh, Mich. l am a brunette, is years
old, and generally considered handsome.
l could make a trusting wife to the right
man and write this note in the hope that
it will fall into the hands of such a man
and so lead to further correspondence.
1t took the professor two hours TO yield
the ohjurgations which he felt the situa-
ton demanded.
Did the professor marry the girl?
Thunder. no! The professor was already
married. The idea!

"a valentine" he said, chuckling.
(He pronounced it valentine, but
what's the differenceO
He didn't produce the bonnet as
soon as he got home. He waited till
after supper when the chores were
all done. Then he sat down by the
table and began to read the weekly
paper he had brought out.
But the reading was a failure, and
he sat and watched his wife over the
paper till she said: what in crea-
tons the matter with you tonight,
Dave Robinson? Is there anything
wrong with my looks? You've been
a starin' at me like all possessed"
Dave gave an embarrassed laugh
and retired behind the paper again.
Suddenly he spoke: did you know
it's Valentines day, Susar?"
"Bless the man, does he think I'd
be apt to remember Valentines day,
with all I've got to think of? I
b'lieve, though, / did hear the chill
dren a-talkin' about it. Whatever
put it in your head, Dave?"

And here he produced the box.
"Open it, Susan. Why don't you
open it? Here, give it to me-" for
the poor woman's hands were shak-
ing so that she couldn't unite the
string. There, now! What do you
think of that for a bonnet?"
Susan had found enough voice now
to say: "Why, Dave! Why, Dave
| Robinson!'' over and over. But she
was pleased; it was easy to see that.
"You oughtn't to have done it," she
said, as she held the pretty bonnet
on one hand, and turned it round
and round carefully. Its too good
for me, Dave, and l expect it cost a
heap"
"Never mind what it cost" an
swered her husband, heartily. "Put
it on, Susan, and let's see if it be-
comes you. By George, that milliner
woman just hit it. 1t suits you to q
dot. You look ten years younger"
And truly she did. But l think
something besides the bonnet brought
that pretty flush to her cheek, and
brightness to her eyes.
Happiness is a wonderful rejuvena-
tor, and women like to be remem-
bered by their husbands"
Susan turned away from the little
looking-glass and tenderly placed the
bonnet in its box. TN fix my hair
a little different when l yea it,
more like l used to-" she said. And
then, going over to Dave, who vas

not a demonstrative couple-kissed
the little bald spot on his head.
Thank you, Dave, for remember
ing me-" she said softly; and her
husband had his reward.
If he had told his thoughts, which
were supposed to be on the paper,
they would have been as follows:
Lets see, what's the next anniver-
sary day? Oh, yes, it's Easter. Well,
she shall have another keepsake
then."-Ladies' World, New York.

Poor Dave was completely out Of
his depth, but he answered braveiy
that he agreed with her, and would
take the bonnet. which the milliner
had really chosen with great discrim-
