FOR INSOMNIA.

Most of the mental devices for WOO
ing sleep have failed because they
have nearly always tried to resort to
"loca1 treatment ;" in other words,
they have made homeopathic ct
tempt to stop thinking by thinking
about something e1se-a process
which might also be called "elimina.
ton by substitution" But all think
ing, spontaneous or forced, draws
more or less blood to the brain, pre-
vents deep inhalations and bars the
gate to the kingdom of dreams. Any
device, on the other hand, which will
make one take deep, long breaths
spontaneously (the invariable fore
runner of Sleep may be counted upon
as a genuine remedy for insomnia.
Even deep breathing which is forced
is better than any purely mental at
tempt to win sleep. But if the deep
breathing can be produced involutar-
lily one is sure of passport to Nod
land. After several nights of exper-
iment to this end the present writer
decided to apply the principle adopt
ed by the masseurs, who begin their
manipulations "at the point farthest
from the seat of difficulty" which,
in the case of insomnia, would be the
feet. Lying on the right side, with
the knees together, and considerably
hexed, the victim of insomnia should
begin to pedal both his feet slowly up
and down, with the movement entire
1y in the ankles. The pedaling should
keep time with the natural rhythm
of respiration and be continued until
it is followed by deep and spontane-
Gus breathing. Several people who
have tried this remedy report that in
volutary deep breathing invariably
begins before they have pedaled up
and down a dozen times. In obsti-
nate cases of insomnia the patient
may need to keep up the pedaling
two or three minutes or even more,
with intermissions, if necessary. The
treatment may also be varied by NOV
ing the feet alternately, instead of
simultaneously, though the latter
method has proved the more speedily
efficacious in the cases known to the
writer. The explanation of the re-
suit obtained is probably simple.
The blood is pumped from the head,
and with the removal of brain, ten
sion, a general relaxation follows,
with sequent deep respiration and
its resulting sleep.

MOTHERS WHO scoLD.

The mother who has acquired the
habit of scolding her children there
by shows that she is not competent to
train them to obedience. For scold-
ing is a sign of weakness. 1t indi-
Gates that the person who has it has
not mastered herself, and that she
knows not how to rule others.
The scolding parent is usually an
unreasonable being, irritable, impul-
sive, quick-tempered, hot-headed.
She judges first and calls for the evil
dence afterwards. She acts as if her
little sons and daughters should, even
before she instructs them, distinguish
right from wrong and should have
the knowledge that comes only from
experience.
When the mother has become a
chronic scold the children pay little
attention to her outbreaks or vituper-
alton. Guilty or not guilty, they ex-
pect it. They let it in one ear and
out the other. They acquire the cor
responding habit of not minding it.
Let their father speak once and they
jump to obey him. Their mother
may order them dozen times, but
they get into the way of thinking that
she is not in earnest until she begins
to upbraid them, and they wait for
this signal before they move at her
command.
Her first care in the correction of
this habit is to control herself. Let
her give no orders that she does not
intend to enforce, let her tell her chill
dren to do thing only once, wheth-
er they be good or bad, docile or dis
obedient. When she has conquered
herself she will find, to her surprise,
that she will have little difficulty in
conquering her children.

THE CREEK.

Th' crick? Why, bless you. man, it's good
To set an watch it dream along
An wish t a feller understood
Th' words it's putin in its song.
Why, it comes playin' through tn farms,
A-whisperin' to all tn grass
An calamus, at holds it's arms
A-lettin' on at it can't pass.
An then it sort o. hesitates
Before it turns to go through town,
As If th' water kind o. hates
To take tn path at hurries down
To where th' bridge spreads out shade
AT makes tn ripples dark an cool
An so it slips through there, afraid,
An rests when it has reached tn pool.
TIL pool-you know where that is Sho
There where the ellum's bigges' limb
Hangs out, sign at down below
Is Jest tn place for boys to swim.
An then, tn crick, it travels on
An fights tn rocks, an seems to brawl
An quarrel with 'em-when it's gone
1t sends 'em back partin' call
Th' crick Lord, bless you, man Why, half
Th' fun o. life is jest to set
An watch it run an sing an laugh
An shake the sunshine till it's wet.
Th' crick is jest like human kind
Or we're jest like it, as to that
Fergettin' what we've left behind,
When we get where the big worlds at.

THE BURDEN OF THE TIP.

Year by year the burden of the tip
becomes harder to bear. When it was
first introduced from Europe it was
confined to comparatively few forms
of menial service and mainly affected
people who could we'll afford to pay
the tips. Now it has invaded about
every occupation and affects all
classes. and the man who does not
tip must submit to ridicu1e and ne
glect. A correspondent of the Chica-
go hte, Otean who describes himself
as IAN average man" gives the fol-
lowing schedule of his tips for one
day while travelling

PUTTING THINGS OFF.

No reprehensible habit that can be-
Set womankind carries with it so close
ly its own punishment as does the
habit of putting off until tomorrow
the things that should be done today,
for while it sows broadcast various
possible troubles for other people, it
reacts upon its owner with the ac-
cliracy of boomerang.
Occasionally we come upon wo-
man who is endowed with a natural
propensity for doing things on time,
and she is a comfort to have around,
unless she is also endowed with a
proneness to boast unduly of the in
born trait for which she deserves no
more credit than would be hers did
she haunt pretty pose for whose
shape she was not responsible-see-
ing it was birthday present. Such
woman is apt to sweep on Fridays
regsrdless of wind or weather or her
own headache, and to do spring house
cleaning by the almanac and not by
the thermometer, and to store blank
cts and take down stoves too soon and
leave her amily defenseless prey to
the grip.
Occasionally, also, we meet with
woman who from pure shiftlessness
and poor management herd daily into
the limbo of tomorrow an ever in
creasing horde of clamoring duties
and keeps her family and friends on
tenterhooks OF discomfort through
her lax ways.
But i'll between these two extremes
comes the average dilatory woman,
who, knowing her own culpable ten
dency to put things off, yet plans to
do in one day what would comforta-
bly, fill three full days, allowing a
breathing spell now and then and a
sittingdown time here and there, and
so, perforce, a lot of undue things go
over until the next day where they
squabble disgracefully with the things
that own that day and the noise they
make discourages her and gives her
nervous headache. Her very clothes
are vexatious worry, since none of
them are exactly ready to wear when
wanted in hurry, her letters lie un-
answered until the sight of them is
keen reproach, and she goes blocks
out of her way to save meeting friends
to whom she owes calls. She is
never on time in keeping an appoint
ment and never gets off on journey
without a harassing rush at the last,
and is much given to hasty hosiery
darning and button sewing for her
family on Sunday mornings. She
dissipates her energy among an array
of superhuous things, yet suffers a
daily martyrdom owing to the post
ponement of legitimate duties, and no
one can make her believe it her own
fault nor yet afford her any relief un-
less they could give her, now and
then, the six months day of the Arc
tics in which to get caught up on all
the leftover things and begin afresh.

Here is total of $3.35 day given
for services which are paid for in an
other form and which the receiver of
the tip is expected to perform as
part of his daily work. The case
may be an extreme one, but it illus
trates the impositions to which the
travelling public is subjected and to a
lesser extent those who stay at home.
The average man" also gives these
reasons why men tip: According
to my judgment, there are three
classes of people who tip menials-
the person who tips because he is gen
erous, the one who tips because he
likes to appear generous, and the one
who tips because he bribes the per-
son tipped to give him more than his
share of attention. I am in the last
class" There is another reason also
why men tip, and that is their sensi-
tiveness to ridicule, and it is doubt
less more potent than all the rest.
There may be good reason for the
tipping system in Europe, where
wages are low and where in many
cases the tip is the only remunera-
ton received for personal service.
But among self-respecting American
workmen of whatever class, who re-
ceive days wages for days work,
the tip should have no place. 1t is
demoralizing to the man who gives
and degrading to the man who re-
ceives it. Persons who perform ser
vice of the sort from which tips are
expected should be paid sufficient
wages by their employers, which
would do away with any apparent
necessity for tips. This done, there
ought to be general crusade against
the tipping system, which is un-Amer-
ican, harmful and expensive.

HER SHOES ARE LARGER.

The athletic girl of today is a sur
prise to people who have not been
noting her developments. She has
grown beyond all recognized stand
ards to classical dimensions.
The bootmaker still calls a B shoe
his model, exhibits it in his window,
and it is a pretty little thing to see.
But the athletic girl who has been
brought up in a family where she has
had an opportunity to live healthful
natural life, with plenty of outdoor
exercise, laughs at such tiny things.
The athletic girl has brought about
an entire change in the hosiery de-
partments of the shops. There was
never time when there were pretty
or more extravagant things for wo-
men in the cobweb varieties of fine
Isle thread and silk. Women wear
these expensive things for outdoor
sports as well as for dress occasions,
but the sizes have developed with the
women who wear them. Where 8,
81 and 9 were FIVE years ago, the
girl of today wears 9H, 10, 1oH, and
She would often wear II, if she could
get it.
In the shoe shops there is the same
noticeable change. The boots are
made to go over the 10 and 1oH silk
stockings.
In the misses department" of the
fashionable shoe store spring heel
shoes range from children's sizes up
to boots SO big that they might be-
long to young giantesses. They are
for athletic girls who are kept chill
dren as long as possible and wear the
spring heel boots until they are ready
to make their bow to society.
Gloves have changed with other
accessories of the feminine wardrobe,
and the well-built girl wears 61z,
and IN in place of 57z, 5A and E
that have been worn. For one thing,
her hands are not only large, but she
DO longer stops the circulation by
squeezing her hands into glove a
size too small for her. She cannot
tool coach or handle an automobile
with hands in wise, so she wear:
something that is an easy fit.
