Japan . Curious Land.

There Is no land thatI have ever seen
80 curious as Japan, says an American
who has lived % years in the country
of the Mikado. One of the strange
features of the country is that all crops
and fruits are almost certain to de-
teriorate. have seen beautiful peaches
grown the first year from stock import
ed from the United States. The second
year they We're still fairly good; the
third season poor and after that unfit
to eat. Nothing in the vegetable world
would seem to retain its excellence for
any length Of time. 1t is a bamboo
country and everything reverts to the
bamboo. Beautiful lush grass covered
many plain and yet 1t gives no nu-
trinlent to cattle. Garden vegetables
look as fine as any grown in the United
States, but when cooked they have no
taste. The flowers are Of gorgeous
hues, but they are without perfume.
But even with these imperfections
1t is a very Interesting corner of the
earth and many things recommend 1t.
Its Inhabitants are in their way fine
people. In the rural districts particu-
larly the natives are the most honorable
beings l ever met. In the cities they
are sharper mentally, but not nearly so

This Country Not the Only One Where

In Jamaica there 10 a man who

that tho waters Of certain stream
near hamlet called August Town viii
wash away all sins and all diseases as
well.
Once month Bedward baptizes peo-
pie there by immersion. Thousands
flock to the river side from all parts Of
Jamaica, and hundreds are ducked In a
big pool. After this ceremony is over,
by which time the pool Is horribly
dirty, hundreds Of bottles are filled
with the water and sent oil over ia
maica, to be used internally as med
icine for all sorts of complaints, from
a broken leg to dysentery.
Bedward is a type common enough
in the West Indies, and, indeed.
throughout the world. The faith cure
is the common property Of all peoples.
In Morocco, not very long ago, an En-
glishman very narrowly escaped being
mobbed, because he derided an old M.
bian woman, who was sitting In the
market place of Fee.
She told him she would cure him Of
a sprained wrist, II he would only look
in her eyes for moment and believe
that Ills wrist was all right. He laughed
at her, and the superstitious Moors re-
garded him as blasphemer. This
woman was said to have worked some
marvellous cures, both surgical and
medical, simply by faith and dash Of
hypnotism. But, Of course, the evil
dence in such cases Is Of the vaguest.
The witch doctor, male or female, is
a common institution among savage
and barbarous races. Usually he de-
ponds on sheer effrontery and the su.
perstltious credlllity of his patrons,
but In some cases he has a remarkable
knowledge Of herbs and the properties
of drugs.
The Voodoo priests and priestesses In
Hayti are famous in this respect. They
are familiar with the herbs and poisons
unknown to science, and a reputable
medical man who used to practice In
Port-au-Prince has asserted that they
effected cures beyond his compre-
hension. Also, he said, they could
poison a man In such a way as to defy
detection by q medical science.

Tree Climbing Crabs.

In Africa there exists u tree-cran
which has a trick of crawling up o
cocoanut tree, biting off half a dozen
punches and then crawling down again
backwards. The theory Is that TIT
nuts are shattered by the fall, and the
crab thus enjoys a hearty meal. NO"
the natives try to stop these depreda'
tons, which often ruin the cocoanu'
crops, and take advantage OF the fac'
that the lower portion of the crab is
soft and sensitive. When they are
heard In the tree the native climbs
halfway up the tree and drives in a
circle of spikes made out Of thorns
The consequence is, when the cral
comes down he encounters the thorns
and, supposing that he has reached the
ground, he lets 60, and is SO crippled by
the fall that he is easily dispatched and
eaten in his turn.

HOW SLEEP MAY BE WOOED.
Movements of the Feet Will Quiet the
Nervous Brain.

Nervous Brain.
Most of the mental devices for WOO
ing sleep have failed because they have
nearly always tried to resort to local
treatment" in other words, they have
made a 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 limitations and bars the
gate to the kingdom of dreams. Any
device, on the other hand, which will
make one take deep, long breaths spon
taneously the invariable fOrerunner OF
sleep may be counted upon as a gen
uine remedy for insomnia. Even deep
breathing which is forced is better
than any purely mental attempt to win
sleep. But If the deep breathing can
be produced involuntarily one is sure
of a passport to Nodland.
After several nights Of experiment
to this end the present writer decided
to apply the principle adopted by the
masseurs, who begin their manipula-
lions 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 to-
gether, and considerably fexed, 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 rhythm of res
piration and be continued until 1t Is
followed by deep and spontaneous
breathing.
Several people who have tried this
remedy report that involuntary deep
breathing invariably begins before they
have pedaled up and down dozen
times. In obstinate cases of Insomnia
the patient may need to keep up the
pedaIing two or three minutes, or even
more, with intermissions, If necessary.
The treatment may also be varied by
moving the feet alternately, Instead OF
simultaneously, though the latter meth
cd has proved the more speedily eff1ca-
cfous in the cases known to the writer.
The explanation of the result obtained
Is probably simple. The blood Is pump
ed from the head, and with the re-
moyal of brain tension general re-
taxation follows, with sequent deep
respiration and its resulting sleep

COMES FROM THE STOMACH.
Unusual Source Of Blindness Due to
Excessive Smoking or Drinking.
rms oeHTAvR soMpaNv. New voRx crv. q

Unusual Source Of Blindness Due to
Excessive Smoking or Drinking.
A British oculist has called attention
to q new and indirect method of treat
ing blindness due to the use Of tobacco
or alcohol and notes the extraordinary
fact that the chief trouble is trace
able to the stomach as the primary
source. Excessive smoking, as is well
known, causes In many individuals
partial and sometimes total blindness.
Tobacco blindness land also the fail
ure of vision which comes from the ex-
cessive use of alcoholic beverages) Is
remarkable because of the absence OF
any change in the structure Of the eye
itself.
Microscopic examination In these
cases has disclosed peculiar alterations
in the ganglion cells Of the retina, and
these changes were formerly believed
to have been produced by the poison
of the tobacco itself. Three years ago
Philadelphia physician published the
opinion that the alteration in the cells.
followed by failing vision, was not
produced by the nicotine itself, but by
poisons which the nicotine created In
the system. These secondary poisons,
finding their way to the eye, modified
the cells in the retina, this modifica-
ton being followed by inadequate
power of vision or by loss Of vision al
together
With this original suggestion for
starting point, other observers took up
the investigation with the result that
the seat of the trouble has been To-
Gated. This is found to lie In the
stomach. Nicotine disturbs the nor
NAL function of the stomach and ILL.,
stead Of healthy digestion the smo-
ker has a veritable poison factory In
his gastric region. Instead of treat
ing tho eye. therefore, the new method
goes at once to the stomach and at
tempts to stop the manufacture Of
poisons In that important organ.
Several interesting cases are report
ed of complete cures by this method.
One patient, an excessive smoker,
! whose eyes were rapidly failing, was
treated for indigestion. The stomach
was pumped out and found to contain
evidences of gastritis. The mans diet
was corrected, his tobacco cut off. and
other remedies of hygienic kind
were applied. In a few weeks the
blindness had disappeared.
These facts seem to clear up the
mystery attaching in general to to-
bacco blindness. Some men can
smoke to excess without impairing the
eyes, while others are affected In that
way by a much sma1fes quantity OF
smoking. This anomaly can be under
stood when it is remembered tsiat IT
is the stomach and not the eyes upon
which the nicotine acts directly. Some
stomachs can resist the poison-mek-
ing force of the tobacco; Others carr
not, and it is those whose stonachs
are affected by the use Of the weed
that suffer from blindness. Smokers
should therefore have an eye to their
| digestion.

Odd Erect Of Heat and Cold


Senator Bacon, Of Georgia, has for
his hobby the natural sciences. in
which he is unusually well versed.
He was talking one day about the
effect of heat and cold, explaining
with great thoroughness the rule that
cheat expands and cold contracts"
Suddenly he smiled. II am remind
ed of a story" he said. "There was a
boys class in physics before which
this rule came. The rule was discuss
ed in its various aspects and bearings.
and finally the teacher said:
Brown, suppose you give ME
good example of the rule. Can you
do it?'
Eyes, sir said Brown. In the
summer, when it is hot, the days are
longer; and in the winter, when 1t is
cold, the days are short"
