member Of the National Senate, was
spoken of in some quarters as can

York, and 1t became known that he
would accept the nomination.
That he was decisively defeated in
the convention is ascribed directly to
Hamilton. Later in the same year

Then another thought came!--a

Soldiers Of long and honorable records,
scholars and jurlsts of marked ability,

of the highest offices in the gift Of
their country, Alexander Hamilton
and Aaron Burr played out In the
peaceful beauty and freshness of that
early morning tragedy which has

time.

Three Hundred Million Copies of the

cety formed "to promote the circula.
ton of the Holy Scriptures In the prin-
cipal living languages" At that time
the Bible, or portions of 1t, could be
obtained in about forty living Ian
guages, spoken by two-tenths Of the
race. During the century since the
meeting at the London Tavern ad-
journed, and very largely from the
machinery then and there started, the
Scriptures have been translated Into
450 languages and dialects, understood
by seven-tenths of the race. BY the
London society alone 1S0,000,000 copies
have been distributed, at an expense of
$7O,OOOOOO. If we add to this total tho
100000 copies already distributed by
the younger American Bible Society,
and the unknown millions printed and
sold by private enterprise, we find our
selves inside safe estimate If we hold
that certainly 3O0OO0,OO0 copies of the
Scriptures, In whole or separate books
or portions, have gone into circulation
during the last century.
Amazement attends the study of the
Bible, whatever the point Of view or
the course pursued. But nothing about
the Bible is more amazing than Its
continuous, universal and utterly un-
paraleled popularity. In nearly every,
il not every, country on earth where
books are sold, more Bibles are sold
than any other book. Last year the
British and Foreign Bible Society
alone distributed 5,943,775 copies, the
majority by sale, in $40 languages,
covering every part of the globe And
the issue by the American Society for
the year amounted to 1,993,55S Bibles
and portions.-Century.

largely through the brilliancy of his
own defense. Twice brought to trial
later on charges Of treason, he both
times fought his own way to triumph
ant acquittals.
But he had lost the confidence Of his
friends, and was no longer feared by
his enemies. He was not Welcomed In
this country, and was ignored or in
suited abroad. When, at the age of So,
he hung out modest tin sign in the
city of New York and started life
anew, he was already near its close.
The old house where his law Office
then was is still pointed out to the Gu
rious; but even when at work within
its walls Aaron Burr had passed from
the public stage, and his downfall may
be traced directly back to that fatal
duel of July II, 1904.

HOW SLEEP MAY BE WOoED.
Movemen nts of the Feet Will Quiet this

Movements of the Feet Will Quiet the
Nervous Brain.
Most of the mental devices for WOO
ing sleep have failed because they have
nearly always tried to resort to local
tleatment;" In other words, they have
made a homeopathic attempt to stop
thinking by thinking about something
else--a 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 inhalations 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 Qhe 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 lnvoluntarlly one is sure
of 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'
tlons "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 tlexed, the
victim of insomnia should begin to
pedal both his feet slowly up and
down, with the movement entirely in
the ankles. The pedalng should keep
time with the natural rhythm of res
plration 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
pedaling two or three minutes, or even
more, with mtermisslons, If necessary
The treatment may also be varied by
moving the feet alternately, instead OF
simultaneously though the litter meth

cious in the cases known to the writer

If "the code" is to be directly
blamed for the duel, yet 1t Is to the
political situation of the day that one
must look for its explanation. In the
closing years of the eighteenth century
and the opening ones of the nineteenth
the foremost and ablest men in the
United States were not only In politics,
but they were in so whole-heartedly
that the warmest friendships and most
bitter enmities resulted. 1t was q
period Of the EXTREMIST feeling, OF the
broadeSt possible misapprehensiOn of

many duels resulted.
The constitution was on trial. The
leaders of the Federallsts, including
Hamilton, openly called 1t "a crazy
hulk" and spoke Of Thomas jefferson

had no faith in the people, no conf
dence in republican Institutions. A

Hamilton and Burr had first crossed
