THE WAKING PROCESS.

eve hear it frequently asserted that
if persons will impress the thought
firmly upon their minds and continue
thinking about it until they have fallen
asleep that they desire to awake at
certain hour in the morning they will
do so without fail" said DR.. Joseph
Boehm in the ST. Louis Globe-Demo-
crat. But how many people have tried
this method of insuring prompt
awakening at a given hour in the
morning only to find their rest through
out the night disturbed and uneasy.
1.-THE brain will usually respond to
the will and awaken one in the morn
ing near the desired hour under any
circumstances, but to prevent the I'M
broken, uneasy sleep the adoption of
only very simple device is necessary.
The last thing before getting into bed
take q watch or clock and turn the
hands to the hour at which one wishes
to rise and gaze at this just long
enough to fix the hour firmly on the re-
tentive memory. Then if no other alb
sorbing thoughts intervene between
that and the moment one is locked in
slumber the nights rest will be easy
and unbroken, and promptly at the
hour in the morning. as rule. one will
find oneself released from sleep and
wide awake There is no need to re-
peat it over and over in the mind. All
this makes the brain uneasy and re-
suits in the disturbed slumber. Sim
ply look at the watch or clock, as
have indicated, and the influence Of
the mind over matter will be clearly
demonstrated in the morning. Try it
some night and observe how smoothly
this physiological fact works"

THE GARDEN OF EDEN.
CeyIOn's Tradition About Adam ant
Ewes First HabitatiOn.


Ewes First HabitatiOn.
Ceylon, In local tradition, was the
garden of Eden, and you will be

Adams bridge, the chain of rocks and

across from Ceylon to the coast of In

her lot in the garden of Ceylon, but
Atami manlike showed a disposition

CRATE One day while wandering ON
the west coast he met a strange man,
who in the course Of conversation held
before him a fascinating panorama of
the lovely country across the waters
gardens and rich orchards. valleys
teeming with birds ana gazelles and
all the rest. Atami had seen nothing
like 1t IN Ceylon, He had always been
trying to coax Heba into emigration
without success, but now his mind was
made up and he went home to the
shades Of Adams peak and ordered
her peremptorily to pack up and make
ready for a start Heba pleaded IN
vain, but Atami was persistent and
led the way across adams bridge"

may, a dreary and forbidding wilder

was that the angel messenger came

his due, Atlantis nobility of spirit
showed itself here, for he begged the
angel to intercede that his own pun

The estimates of the public prin-
ter at Washington for the coming
year are 100000 less than for the
current twelve months. This is
called attention to as indicative
of a highly refOrmatory spirit. Tie
truth is, that the waste amounts
to millions, and that if the depart
ment was put on anything but a
political basis, the appropriations
would be split in two. There is
no branch of the public service
in worse condition than that of
the printers. 1t is a scandal to
the nation the manner in which
it has been carried on for the past
ten years, and especially during
the past four years.

Mr.. Howell says in his
letter to Mr.. Smith, sent to him
that he had accepted
an invitation to open his campaign
in Columbus, and that in doing so
he has left the date open, so that
Mr.. Smith can fill it in, by naming
some time between the LIST and

will no doubt be promptly accep-

that for some time Mr.. Smith has
been calling for Mr.. Howell to
come out and meet him on the
stump. The letter from Mr.. Howell
to Mr.. Smith reads as follows:

"Hon. Hoke Smith, Atlanta, Ga.
"Dear Sir: Having today made
public.the formal announcement of
my candidacy for the Democratic
nomination for governor of Geor-
gia, beg to advise you that it is
my purpose to take the stump
with the beginning ofthe new year,
and to discuss before the people of
all sections of the state the issues
involved in the pending campaign
during the six or seven months
that must intervene before the
primary can be held.
Both ON account of the prolonged
campaign before us, and on ac-
count of the commercial activity
necessarily incident to the APP
preaching holiday season, do not
deem it wise or proper to preci-
pitate, at this time, the series of
public discussions in which / pro-
pose to engage throughout the
campaign. Indeed, if my opinion
were otherwise, my business en-
gagements are such as to prevent
the Inauguration of this series of
public addresses earlier than
January. In response to invita-
ton, I have consented to open my
campaign in Columbus, in which
city neither of us have spoken.
II hereby invite you to meet me
in Joint debate on that occasion to
discuss before the people the issues
involved in the pending campaign
for the Democratic nomination. In
accepting this invitation [ have
asked that the exact date of my
opening address be left open in
order that such date may be ar
ranged to your satisfaction, for
any day between the LIST and 18th
of January, the details to be ar
ranged in theusual manner. Kind
