TOO GREAT A SURPRISE
The Cause of the Patients COLLAPSE
Most Remarkable and
Inexplicable.

The physician who had been hastily

philanthropist found his patient in a
semi-comatose condition, relates Will

ridge Would Be Likely
to Damage.

An enthusiastic hunter, having lost his
way, wandered helplessly about in an
apparently endless cedar swamp until
dark, when distant light attracted him
to log cabin near a new mining loca-
ton. The cabins sole occupant proved
to be stolid but hospitable Swede, who
obligingly consented to share his sup
per and his bed with the tired and hun
CRY stranger, relates Leslie's Monthly.
After hearty meal the men sat
quietly smoking their pipes beside tn,
fire. Suddenly they were startled b
the sound of stealthy footsteps, fol
lowed by sharp, scratching noises
which seemed to proceed from the lean
TO shed at the rear of the cabin.
Cautiously opening the door, the
Swede held his candle aloft; and the
hunter, who had hastily seized his gun
and loaded for bear, peered eagerly over
his shoulder The Pickering beams dis
closed fat porcupine, sharply outlined
against a background of square pine
boxes, in the act of helping himself to

in that stack of boxes that cartridge

HOW TO GET TO SLEEP.
Yielding to the Rhythmic Influence
of Sounds and Noises That Are
Not Preventable.

When We are not necessarily over
tired but perhaps only little tired
from the days work, it is not uLcom-
mon to be kept awake by a Tapping
curtain or a swinging door, by I'M
usual noises in the streets. or by peo-
pie talking, writes Annie Payson Call,
in Leslie's Monthly.
If We are willing that the curtain
should so on tapping. the door to go
on slamming, or the noise in the street
continue steadily on, our brains yield
TO the conditions and so sleep natural
ly, because the noise goes through us,
so to speak, and does not run hard
against our unwillingness to hear it.
There are three facts which may help
to remove this resistance.
One is that in almost every sound
there is certain rhythm. If we yield
to the sound enough to become sensi-
tive TO its rhythm, that, in itself, is
soothing, and what before was keeping
us awake now helps US to go to sleep.
The rhythm of sound and motion in
sleeping cars and steamers is, in itself,
soothing. II you keep your mind stead
lily on it, you will probably be asleep
in less than an hour, and, when the
car stops, you will wake only enough
to settle comfortably into the sense mo-
ton when it starts again. 1t is pleasant
to notice the gentleness with which a
good engineer starts his train at night,
and gives us many lesson on the use
OF gentle beginnings, with other things
besides locomotive engines.
The second fact with regard to yield
ing, instead of resisting, in order to get
to sleep is that listening alone. apart
| from rhythm, tends to make one sleepy
and this leads us at once to the third
fact, that getting to sleep is nothing
but healthy form of concentration.
