must be Il wooden pipe, and curved,
not straight.
Having retired for the night, the suf
ferer should lie perfectly fat on his
back, discarding pillow rests, and puff
steadily at an empty pipe until he feels
thoroughly drowsy. The desired re-
suit usually is achieved after from
about sixty to 100 puffs have been
made. The putting should be done
slowly, with deep inhaling move
ment During the entire operation the
pipe should not be removed, as each
displacing and replacing movement
tends to wakefulness.

they see volumes of smoke, and those
who eschew the burning weed will be
helped by counting the puffs.
AS sleep is often successfully wooed
While yet the pipe is in the mouth,
bowls of meershaum or clay are not
recommended, since these are liable to
be broken when the coming of slumber
allows the pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be re-
assured that there is no danger in fall
ing asleep with the stem edge of
curved pipe caught between ones
teeth Sleep always occasions the grip
to be removed. That may hold also
Of straight pipes, but for other and
obvious reasons these are less suitable
than those with curved stems.

AN OCEAN MYSTERY.

OF all unexplained happenings, none
seems so mysterious as do those of the
sea, for the waves keep their secrets.
Among the many nautical mysteries
which have been the talk Of SeGfaring
folk, that of the Mary Celeste has for
thirty years taken the lead. All sorts
of eXplana tons have been attempted,
and the incidents have been used as
the basis of well-known sea novel,
yet no satisfactory solution has been
offered. 4 writer in the New York
Evening Post has recently summed
up the facts of the case, and strange
ones they are. The Mary Celeste was
unlucky from the first. She was
launched in 1869. Bad fortune attend
ed her very start in the world, for, be-
ing built Of green timber. she stuck
on the ways and was fiOated only at
great expense. Her voyages We're I'M
profitable, and after few years her
captain, discouraged by continual loss,
took his life.
On Dec. 4. 1873, the Mary Celeste,
British vessel Del Gratia about mid
way between the Azores and Lisbon,
adrift and abandoned. She was run
ming under sail, her long boat was
gone, and the chronOmeter and the
ships papers were missing. 1t was ev
ident she had been deserted in haste.
By the log book it was judged she
had been cruising without crew for
eight or nine days.
The vessel was searched carefully,
but the mystery only deepened. A
naked, dark-Stained cutlaSs which was
found on the cabin floor for time
caused a suspicion of mutiny. but a
later examination showed the stains
to be only rust. There were no traces
of strife. On the cabin table lay cloth,
needle, scissors and thimble-evidences
of wOman's suddenly Interrupted
sewing. The pumps were dry, the car
60 intact, and nothing wrong with the
spars or rigging.
The brig was taken to Gibraltar and
investigations begun. There was an
attempt to prove that the captain in
tended to lose his ship on one Of the
reefs Of the Azores, but the case fell
through. Obvious objections TO this
theory were the presence Of the cap
tain's wife and child on board and the

A Russian "VOIunteer."

1t is often said that Russians are
soldiers born" occasionally, however,
one is made to order. An English Wis
itor in Moscow was in one of the side
streets recently when his attention
was attracted by the scuffling of feet,
the swish of a whip, and the sound of
loud words.
Looking across the way, he saw 4
stOcky fellow in a blouse, fiat on the
ground and stoutly resisting the efforts
of two soldiers to set him on his feet
and make him go along.
The EngliShman turned to man in
official uniform at his side, who also
was watching the struggle, but with
out excitement or interest
whats the trouble" asked the
Englishman.
The official shrugged his shoulders.
There's no trouble" he replied. It's
