PARIS, Feb. 1.-THE overtures OF
the United States government to the
powers for preserving the neutrality
and integrity Of China during and aft
er the hostillues between Russia and
Japan are attracting widespread attcn-
ton. United States Ambassador Por-
ter has conferred ut length with For
eign Minister Delcasse. The results
have not been made public, but the
| general situation is as follows:
1t does not appear probable that an
| accord of the powers can he reached
at the present time owing to differ
ences of views and the concentration
of attention upon the actual events Of
the war. 1t is practically certain that
| France will not take any action which
could possibly be construed as embar-
RAISING Russia or as seeking to coerce
her concerning the integrity of China.
The French authorities appear TO be
quite willing and even anxious to have
China declare her neutrality.
The propositions which the United
states has submitted TO all other coun-
tries, briefly stated, are these:
That Russia and Japan confne their
fighting to Korea and Manchuria.
That the neutral powers guarantee
to Russia and Japan that China shall
take no part in the war.
That China's integrity be preserved
| by making it impossible for her to give
either combatant m eXcuse to seize
any part of her empire and by notify
ing Russia and Japan that China's in.
tegrlty must be respected during and
after the war.

Sleep and the Weather

do you knew | think the connec-

suffer great deal on account OF
sleeplessness and in at least nine in
stances out of ten the weather is
directly responsible for it. If vio-
lent change in any way whatever is
about to take place my system will
register the fact with just as much
accuracy as the most delicate devices
used by the expert weather prognos-
ticators.
"Of course, do not mean to say
that | have a monopoly on this sort
of thing. We are all influenced to
some extent in one way or an
other by weather changes. But | was
speaking more particularly of the re-
lations between atmospheric condi-
tion and insomnia. The connection is
direct and unmistakable. Take the
man, for instance, who is a chronic
sufferer from headache or neuralgia,
or any kindred ailment, and you will
find that an impending change in the
weather will have tendency to put
his nerves on edge, If | may say it,

to sleep. He will, as a matter of fact,
fall into the clutches of tnat awful
slaughterer of rest-insomnia.
Il may say that any man whose
nerves are particularly sensitive and
whose system is delicate enough to
respond to slight pressures will be
affected in the same way. The ordi-
nary corn is often an agent in be-
getting insomnia, because il is a sort
of barometer and responds quickly to
changes in the weather. 1t would be
interesting If some man who is an ex-
pert in such matters would trace
definitely the relations between in
somnia and atmospheric or climatic
conditions. Many variations would be
found. 1t would all depend on the
temperament of the individual. A great
many persons will be found who will
sleep heavily if the night becomes
suddenly little cold. Cold in such
cases aids sleep. In the cases of
other persons change of this sort
will produce wakefulness because the
cold will irritate the more sensitive
nerves. So might go on and enume-
rate a vast variety of ways in which
different persons, because of tempera-
mental differences, would be affected
by a sudden change in the weather.
There can be no sort of question
about the connection between insom-
mia and the weather"

So many times I have felt the fol.
lowing ideas that want to pass them
along to you in the words of a cor
respondent who sent them 20 the
Breeders Gazette:
Every man sees what is hard in his
own life and what is easy in the life
OF everyone else. This is the reason
why there is so much discomfort
among the human race. The farmer
hauling fodder to his cattle through
the mud and slush of thawed field
in winter thinks of the lawyer sitting
beside a warm fire in his Office with
his books and clients, and straightway
wishes he was lawyer; or he thinks
CT the merchant handing out his goods
on one side Of the counter and taking
in his profits on the other, and then
he wishes he was merchant; or he
sees the doctor riding by at fifty cents
or a dollar for every mile, and then he
wishes he was a doctor. Or blackleg
breaks out among his calves, the grub
Kills his sheep. the cholera slays his
hogs or his corn withers in the drouth
or his wheat rusts in the rain, and he
reviles the fate that made him a farm

Of Randalin's slumber, till she knew
IL for the beat Of horses hoofs, and
stirred and opened her eyes.
The silver simmer Of starlight fall.
Ing through purple deeps had given
way to the ruddy glare of camp
fire, and she was lying just beyond
its heat, cloak-wrapped. on a bed OF
leaves. Above her, interlacing beech
boughs made an arching roof. under
which the shadows clustered as swal-
lows under caves. Within the sylvan
alcove, some four-score battle-stained
warriors were taking their ease after
a hard day. Through the fog OF her
drowsiness Randalin recognized them
slowly. Yonder was the Englishman
who had found her in the bushes.
Beyond him. across the frs, the sol
diers who had lifted her up to the
horseman. Here. Just in front of
her, was tie leader himself. Her
gaze settled upon him dreamily.
He had finished his meal, II meal
1t could be called, and was making
some attempt at toilet. His captive's
eyes we're not the only ones upon him,
and he was laughing a little at the
comments his performance drew forth
from three old cnihts lounging near
him.
These are soft days, comrades. The
last time I followed the old chief, of
honored memory, we held our war
council standing knee-deep in fen.
We had neither eaten nor drank for
two days. and three days blood was
on our handc."

A pause met his warmth somewhat
coudly; and the warrior who broke the
silence lowered his voice to do it.

er and declares that IL he had his life
to live over he would be something
else--just anything but farmer.
Now the farmer is not the only
man who INDUCES in these grum-
blings. The farmer does not often
wish he was somebody else than some
body else wishes he was a farmer.
The lawyer harassed in his Office by
troublesome cases and fought all day
long by opposing counsel. with the
smell of musty law books and foul
court rooms continually in his nos
trils, envies the farmer whistling as
he follows his plow and team with the
scent of bloom borne to him ca every
breeze. The merchant tormented by
importunate creditors and laughed at
by irresponsible debtors sees the farm
er sailing his fat steers in the pasture
across the road and wonders why he
was so foolish as 10 go into the har-
assing, hazardous business of mer-
chandizing. The doctor reused from
much-needed sleep in cold, stormy
winter night thinks how happy must
be the farmer, whose slumbers no loud
insistent voice ever disturbs."
