STRIKING FACTS ABOUT SLEEP

One of tho Most Mysterious of tho
Ways of Nature.
Shakespeare" said a scientist, call
ed sleep the ape of death. That Is a
striking name for a striking thing.
it
"Self-hypnotism Is a mysterious
force that we can exercise ON ourselves
In sleep alone. We are all f-hypno-
lists. We all, on certain nights, tell
ourselves firmly that we must not
oversleep; that the next morning-at
f. at or precisely we must wake up.
Our sleeping selves respond to the
hypnotic suggestion made the night be-
fore by our waking selves. That Is
mysterious and striking, isn't it? Still
more mysterious and striking, though,
is the fact of our keeping track of the
time somehow In our slumber. How
on earth do we do that?
1T Is impossible to do without sleep.
Men have slept standing, even running.
They have slept in battle, under fire,
with guns roaring on all Sides They
Lave slept in uncomfortable and deadly
pain.
There is no torture equal to that
which the deprivation of sleep entails
The Chinese are the cruelest folks on
earth, and the most Ingenious Of tor
turers. Well, the Chinese place the
deprivation of sleep at the head OF
their torture list.
"Sleep Is a state Of rest The heart
rests in sleep. The heart is a rhythmic
muscle, not one that never reposes, but
one that works at short shifts, like G

FOODS POOR


rAsv De = Work that II Not Away
Appreciated.
TT seems Al II half the village was
rome since Bertha Garden died. SAID
Mrs- Blake at the sewing society; ana
every one echoed the sentiment
Bertha had been the ono poor, suffer-
ing person In Unity Village for almost
twenty years. Her father had been
killed In the mill when she was baby.
Her mother had had hard work to
earn enough for the two-and II De
came harder still when the child de
veloped a spinal disease and could not
walk. But there mother and child had
lived, and the neighbors had helped out
the slender earnings In all sorts OF
ways.
Bertha was the sweetest and most
patient of invalids. She lay in her
bed and amused herself accomplishing
ly during the long days, while her
mother worked in the mill. Sometimes
she was too sick to be left, and then
the overseer managed to keep Mrs.
Gardens place for her until Bertha was
better.
Once there seemed a chance that a
surgical operation might help the Grip
pie, and the village had famous fair
to raise the hundred dollars necessary
for the great surgeon Every winter
there was some sort of good time In
honor Of Bertha and her needs. Every
body contributed to her Christmas box.
Everybody went to see her, and came
in, ChrfafiQn a
uence and gratitude.
No what she was dead, the little
town recognized dimly what she had
been to it. She had furnished the rea-
son for many of its innocent good
times. She had been 4 constant ex-
ample Of some Of the most difficult vir-
tues. Best of all, she had been the
stimulus Of compassion and sympathy
and no one had thought Of her for
twenty years without a warm throb OF
pity, that most gracious Of human emo

Now there seemed to the little circle
! Of her friends nobody left In the world
who needed their help. The village
instead Of being the richer because Il
held one less pair of unproductivt
hands, was the poorer because 1t had
lost ono of Gods poor"
Perhaps the lesson Of Unity village
might reach a wider public. 1t Is no
often that a community has but a sin

The rare Joy of love requited, the sol
emn satisfa ction of innocence indicated.
the GLORY of sun1it lawns" and ''Rreen
pastures and still waters"
They who had robbed Rufus Dawes,
convict, Of the best years of his life
could not restore their golden promise
or atone for the shipwreck of youth and
early manhood.
But they could tear tho false veil from
the past. The storm that swept tho
Lady. Franklin to the cruel rocks drifted
to friendly shore the man and woman
who, clasped in each others arms, saw
love ineffable in each others eyes for
the first time
Rufus Dawes escaped to England, Syl-
via Frere followed ON the next steamer,
for, at the first port, she had learned OF
the death of Maurice Frere, Drained by
the manacles of a convict he had goad-
ed to desperation the very night of the
escape of the man he had SO cruelty
wronged.
Then the world knew the story of the
man who had twice saved her life
knew as well of his innocence, and Mr..
North, reformed, repentant, from a quiet
parish in Australia, supplied the final
evidence that cleared his name of every
black vestige of guilt
As Sir Richard Devine, as ship
wrecked mariner safe with home, love
and mother, the old Rufus Dawes be-
came a man among men, notable fol-
charity, probity and justice-famous as
the first to lift his hand to strike from
the fair, false face of Tasmania the
hideous mask that had converted into a
living hell an earthly paradise, the fou
plague-spot of the universe to which ht
had been condemned For the term Of
his natural life"

CHAPTER XXI.


Blunt, recognizing the meteoric her
aids of danger, began to regret his OBJ
stinacy. He saw that a hurricane was
approaching.
Along the south coast Of the Austria
liam continent, though tho usual west,
srly winds and gales of the highest lati-
tudes prevail during the greater portion
of the year, hurricanes are not infre-
quent. Gales commence at N. W. with
4 low barometer, increasing at w. and
8. w., and gradually veering to the
south. True cyclones occur at New
Zealand. 1t was ono Of these rotatory
storms, an escaped tempest of the trop-
les, which threatened the Lady Franklin
Rufus Dawes, exhausted with the ex
element through which he had passed,
had slept for two or three hours, when
he was awakened by the motion of the
vessel going on the other tack. He roae
to his feet and found himself in com
plete darkness. Overhead was the noise
of trampling feet, and he could distin-
guish the hoarse tones Of Blunt below
ing orders. Astonished at the absence
of the moonlight which had so lately
silvered the sea, he flung open the cabin
window and looked out The cabin al
lotted to North was one Of the two stern
cabins, and from it the convict had
q full view of the approaching storm.
The sight was one of wild grandeur
The huge black cloud which hung In
the horizon had changed its shape. In
stead of a curtain, it was an arch. Be
meath this vast and magnificent porta
shone a dull phosphoric light. Across
this livid space pale flashes of sheet
lightning passed noiselessly. Behind i
was a dull and threatening murmur
