Art of Getting Sleep.


All conditions must be favorable
to sleep. The bed room should be
quiet, dark and airy. In winter 1t Is
best to have the window away up than
to shut it SO that knife edged draught
shall chill an exposed shoulder. The
temperature of the bed should be
agreeable. Getting to sleep when the
feet are cold is as slow a job as getting
to sleep when hungry. A hot-water
bottle in the one case and a piece Of
bread and butter in the other will
help things. I leave it to you to de-
eide which is for whioh. A warm bed
in winter is easily got, but cool bed
in summer is not so simple PROPOSE
ton. However, a sheet of straw mat
ting, interposed between the regular
sheet and the mattress, will be found
to mitigate sensibly the horrors of a
hot night. 1t preserves the softness
and springiness of the bed, and yet is
pleasantly cool, without being too
cool. Personally, l find that sleep
comes soonest when have no pillows
at all.
The next thing is to relax utterly.
Remember that the corner Of the jaw
is the citadel of tension. While that
is inclined no sleep can come. But
most important Of all is the disposl-
tion of the mind so that sleep can
come. The reason why we fail in this
is the same as the reason why We fail
in other things. We do not very gen.
timely want to succeed. AS we lie
stretched out after busy day, there
are many thoughts that we want to
chase after that we drop the notion Of
sleep, though we know that tomorrow
is another day on which we can think.
1t is all very well to say Dismiss
these thoughts" How to dismiss
them is the problem that each must
solve.

Her Skin Turning White

"If the Lord wills that | become a
white woman, then say amen.
That was the remark made at the
City Hospital in Cincinnati by Louisa
Smith, colored, with an emphasis that
carried conviction to her hearers.
Little by little her ebony skin is fad
ing to an ashy gray. One great patch
of pure white appears on her face.
Her left hand and arm to the shoul-
der are white, while similar spots va
rying from the size Of pea to a din
ner plate appear all over her body.
The change is the most extensive ever
seen by the doctors Of this city.
Owing to the strange freak Of ma
ture the woman has led the life Of Il
recluse. Although affected by the
disease almost 10 years, few OF her
neighbors were aware Of her ailment.
1t was only through an accident that
she consented to go to the hospital.
The disease from which the woman
suffers is known as vitiligo. 1t is
rare in this country, but natives Of
Africa are affected by it. The doc
tors say that if she lives 10 years long
er she may be as white as any woman
in the land.

costIiss, knIfe in the World.

The most valuable knife in 'lr
world is to be seen in the collection OF
a famous firm of cutters in Sheffield.
1t large enough to fit the pocket OF
none bat a giant, and contains sewn
ty-fve blades, which close mp Se
those of an ordinary knife. Each Of
the larger blades is elaborately en-
graved, and among the subject Of
these strange pictures are vIews OF
Sheffield College, the city of York,
Windsor Castle, Arundel Castle and
score Of other famous scenes. The
hafts are Of mother.of.pearl. car ed
with great skill. On one side the r.
tist has depicted a stag hunt and on
the other boar hunt. When asked
az to the value Of this knife, the firm
replied "Well, we calculated it up
to 1920, but that was before il ~as
finished, and then we ceased to Ell.
mate what it had cost.

Robe With 72s EIks' Teeth.

Messrs. Edgar S. Bronson and y.
A. Nichols, publishers of the ThOmts
(Okla.) Tribune, are showing th"r
friends wonderful piece of Indlea
workmanship, dancing robe, Y 4.
ued at $1,000.
They had to put up their uew'p'-
per plant as a guarantee for its IA
return to Old Crow, an Indian ch:..-
tain, whose daughter made the robe.
The high-priced feature of the gar
ment consists of 72S elks' teeth, VIII
which it is ornamented both in froHt
and behind. These teeth are said to
be worth s. apiece, as all are large
and excellent specimens. They are
securely fastened to the robe with
slender buckskin thongs. The robe
is made Of dark-blue military cloth,
