5, A Swedish method OF producing sleep
is to wiring out q handkerchief In icy
cold water and lay 1t across the eyes,
when IT is said to act like magic.
To many constitutions Warm bath
taken Immediately before going to bed
is very soothing and produces drowsi.
ness, while an apple eaten as the last
thing is equally effective.
The homelys boiled onion is another
sovereign remedy, or an onion may be
sliced and eaten raw, the disagreeable
taste being removed by taking a little
sugar or pinch Of tea afterward.
A Hindoo practice to induce sleep is
to take deep inhalations, expelling the
air alternately through each, nostril,
keeping the other closed with the fin
ger. This has wonderfully quieting
effect.

STATE ENGINEER FELLOWS DISCUSSES CITY STREETS
Says Bismarck More Fortunate Than Other State Cities Natural Drainage and that There
No Excuse for Poor Streets Contract Work Would HVe The Cost and Double Results

would be greatly surprised If, after
two or three such streets had been
put into commission, the residents
upon other streets did not wake up to
the desirability of having such streets
passing their houses also.
AS to the method Of having this
work done, your idea Of letting com
tracts in accordance with the city
engineers specifications is a good one,
but both construction and mainten-
ance should be explicitly under his
direction. The cost would be i1alved
and the good results would be doubled.
This has been the universal history of
road building in other places and it
would be here also. It is not my in,
tention to criticise past methods
otherwise, than to say that the vast
amount of work that has clearly been
done has been without any well de-
fined plan, which should be the first
essential, nor is it my intention to
write paper upon road building. In
this connection will only say that all
the information that l have upon this
subject is entirely at the disposal OF
your city engineer
Very truly yours, A. W. Fellows.

Editor Tribune: I was greatly in.
terested in your statements in last
Saturdays issue concerning the condi-
tion Of the streets in Bismarck and
your article furnishes me with good
opportunity for commenting briefly
concerning the same subject, one that
has been upon my mind for some time.
Coming among you as a stranger
have hesitated about criticising local
conditions until should have become
more familiar with the reasons for
and against them. Really, though,
the condition Of the streets of this
city is, to say the least, disgraceful,
and the most amazing part of it is
that the natural conditions here are so
favorable to good streets that 1t
seems almost incredible that the PEG.
pie did not demand and get them
twenty-five or more years ago. Bis.
marck is wonderfully well located,
more. favorably, perhaps, than any
other town in the state. 1t has a
perfect source for a good water sup.
ply, beautiful natural surroundings, a
grand soil, and splendid drainage

Second, good soil foundation.
You have a perfect one and all that
is necessary in that regard is to
properly crown the streets and pro-
vide cutters on suitable grades SO that
the water may be carried off. .,

We cannot yet have paved streets
for the greater part of the city, desir-
able as they might be, but the very
best of earth streets are easily within
our reach. a. good earth road must
have a good foundation and it must
be properly drained. After it is con.
structed it must be kept up and this
costs extremely little if it is/properly
done. Why. with such natural advan
tages as this city possesses, should it
not have at least a few streets over
which it would be pleasure to drive:

why the Dollar of 1904 IL Rare

There are two stories regarding the
rarity Of the silver dollar of 1904, the
most generally accepted one being the
one which accounts for the scarcity by
saying that they were sent to Africa to
pay the soldiers engaged in war be-
tween this country and Tripoli. There
were only 1850 Of them coined. An
other version Of the story which ac-
counts for their rarity is that a vessel
bound to China with almost the entire
mintage Of that year was lost. The
former story appears to be the most
likely explanation.
