Perfect weather prevailed and the track was in good shape. The handicap was somewhat marred by an accident at the start, which resulted in Oarsman. the second choice, being practically left. For est King collided with him and Wonderly was content to gallop home after the field, as his chances were ruined. Otherwise. the sport was satisfactory and three fav- orites were successful. Eonic and Falcon bridge made most of the running in the handicap, but Proper moved up in the stretch and won easily with Falconbridge second. Divinia beat Claude a head for third money.

Most Of the mental devices for wooing
sleep have failed because they have near
ly always tried to resort to local treat
ment"; in other words, they have made
q homeopathic attempt to stop thinking
by thinking about something elsa
process which might also be called
elimination. by substitution But all
thinking, spontaneous or forced, draws
more or less blood to- the brain, prevents
deep inhalation and bars the gate to the
kingdom of dreams. Any device, on the
other hand, which will make one take
long, deep breaths spontaneously (the
invariable forerunner Of Sleep, may be
counted upon as a genuine remedy for in
somnia. Even deep breathing which is
forced Is better than any purely mental
attempt to win, sleep. But If the breath

eral nights of experiment to this end the
present writer decided to apply the
principle adopted 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 entirely In the ankles.
The pedaling should keep time with the
natural rythm Of respiration and be con-
| tinued until it Is followed by deep and
spontaneous breathing. Several people
who have tried this remedy report that
| involuntary deep breathing invariably be-
| gins before they have pedaled up and
down q dozen times. In obstinate 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 moving the feet alternately,

method was proved the more speedily

Correspondence Of The Journal.

Correspondence Of The Journal.
Christiana, Norway. June 15.-Not long
ago the Ole Bull statue was unveiled at
Bergen Now we are again paying hon.
age to a musical genius who does honor to
that same city. To-day, June 10, Edward
Grieg, celebrates his Goth birthday. 1t is
a remarkable fact that great number of
prominent Norwegians, and In, the line
OF art particularly, hail from Bergen.
What first and foremost has made Grieg
what he is, Is the home of his childhood,
and especially the influence OF his mother.
She was a very intelligent and highly Gull
tured lady, and a prominent pianist, hav-
ing received a thoro musical training in
Germany.
F. Her son, Edward, was not more than :
years old when she began to give him pi-
ano lessons, and what he possessed of ma
tural ability was therefore at a very early
age called out In him and found the best
nourishment for healthy development
In his highly cultivated and art-loving
home. AS early as in 1858 he was sent
to the conservatory Of music at Leipzig
this to no small extent owing to Ole Bulls
advice. But the artist to be did not much
fancy the kind of music predominant at
the time. Quite differently did Chopin,
Schumann and Richard Wagner impress
him. Thru these masters he got the first
idea Of what later was to become his

Matthias DOuline, a noted French traveller,
land one day reached the town of Qua
chi, In the state Of Guanajuato. From
the first the appearance Of the population
surprised me. In the streets I saw moth
ing but emaciated Indians and many other
extremely curious individuals. These lat
ter were scarcely more than 40 inches
high, with short and massive legs, and
arms so long that their hands almost
touched the ground. .
Their principal garment was composed
Of coarse wool falling to the knees. A
belt Of leather around the waist supported
heavy Mexican machete.
Their faces were hideous. Imagine fea-
lures like those of a gorilla. The same
expression of beastly ferocity; not single
trace of beard; rough, bristly hair and cut
In manner to accentuate the natural re-
pulsiveness of the visage. It was impos-
sible to distinguish the women from the
men. All wore the same costume and had
the same external appearance.
They allowed US to proceed on our Way
among them and even to reach a neighbor-
ing Inn, without showing any signs of
hostility. But they watched us closely,
and at times strange looks Of ill-will came
into their sullen eyes. . ..-. ~
The proprietor Of the place where we
hoped to lodge saw us arrive with a sort
