He returned to Port Said and sailed
down the Mediterranean to Jbuti,

Rosebery's Enerts to Woo sleep.
T. p. O'Connor writes in NJ. A. p.
thus: at Is well known that Lord
Rosebery has been cursed-that is the
worldly recurrent insomnia all
through his life. know no malady
which is more calculated to sap the en-
ergy and destroy the nerve Of man
than sleepIessness, and l believe that
much of what is apparently erratic in
the career of Lord Rosebery is to be
attributed to the want of sequence
which the depression Of sleeplessness,
amounting sometimes almost to de-
spair, has produced in his mind. OF the
many remedies which have been tried
by Lord Rosebery for this distressing
nalady. the most original is that which,
according to one paper, find he now
resorts to at Dalmeny. 1t is, to order a
carriage with four horses to be ready
for him at 10 o'clock at night, long
after he has had dinner In this equi-
page, preceded by an outrider, Lord
Rosebery rides for hours. 1t is one Of
the many ways in which he hopes to

The bystanders admitted the clear

of his reasoning and the accuracy of
his conclusions. Mr.. Shaw then put
on Senator Platt's hat, walked over to
the treasury department and rang up
the senator on the telephone. Mr..
Plat admitted that he had hat not
his own, but repealed any intimation
that he had purloined it, intimating
that II there had been any purloining
