agents ts felt there is often a period
Of consciousness lasting half an hour,
more or less. During that interval
mental control is important. With
the most positive determination one
should shut out thoughts of business
or family troubles, personal griev-
ances and annoyances. All of those
matters can be more wisely attend.
ed to at other times, they really
need attention at all; and at Night
they excite the brain, when that or
gan should be soothed. The latter
effect can be secured in various ways,
but the essential principle is that the
mind must be concentrated on some
monotonous task. and kept there by
the will. Counting is one of the best
expedients, but if rather complicat-
ed system Of doing SO is adopted the
result will be better. A. plan should
be pursued that is just laborious
enough to call for an effort We know
a man who proceeds in this fashion
Zone; "One, Two" Zone. Two,
Three; "One, two, three, four" and
so on. But he leaves out seven num-
bers ending in seven, and all null
tiples of seven. With a little ingen-
uity one can work out another plan
which will demand equal or greater
care and concentration.
1t is wonderful what a combination
Of the night lunch, extra bed clothing
and mental control will do.

THE ciNDER IN THE EYE.
One Who Gets it Out Must First Elk
ercise Self-ControI

One Who Gets it Out Must First Elk
ercise SeIf-controI.
By cinder we mean any minute par
ticle of whatever nature which lodges
in the eye, where it causes much pain
and distress.
In most cases when a foreign body
gets into the eye, it creates a little
discomfort for time, but is soon
washed away by the tears without do
ing any harm. Sometimes, especially
when the particle has sharp corners
to it, as is often the case with the
fine cinders from a locomotive which
burns soft coal, the conjunction is
cut and the body becomes firmly
lodged in it, and all natures simple
efforts to rmove it are Intellectual.
Man then tries to come to natures
assistance, and often makes bad very
much worse.
The sufferer winks the eye, Tubs it
with his finger, perhaps inserts an
eyestone and does whatever else he
can think of to drive the particle
deeper into the conjunctive and ex-
cite Inflammation This Inflammation
causes swelling of the conductive i'm
mediately surrounding the. offending
particle, with the result that the
foreign body becomes firmly embed
ed, ard can be removed only by the
little needle or knife of the occulist;
or else it loosens itself by exciting
an liberation of the cornea, and this
liberation, when healed, leaves be-
hin dit a minute white scar. Lucky.
is the man if this scar speck is at
one side, and not directly in front CT
the pupil.
One who gets a cinder in the eye
must first of all exercise self-control.
He must not rub the eye. He may
take a glass of clean water, throw in
a pinch of salt, then put the head
down so that the eye is in the water
and wink several times rapidly. II
this does no good, the particle can
sometimes be dislodged by taking
hold of the lashes and drawing the
upper lid down over the lower, and
letting it slide back into place.
If the speck can be seen on look
ing into the mirror it may often be
removed by the tip of a cone made
by folding the handkerchief several
time. Sometimes friend can see the
speck by looking into the eye with a
magnifying glass, and can remove it
nv pantly tOuchinp II with tho hand
kerchief cone.
This is all any one should attempt,
and if these gentle efforts fail to dis
lodge the cinder. no time should be
lost in seeking the help of physician,
who may take it away before inflam-
nation or liberation comes to com
plicate the accident.

A WoULD-5E oTHELLo.
Angry Moor Tries to Put His Harem
To Death.

To Death.
According to the Figaro of Paris the
French government finds itself face
to face with new phase of the
Moroccan question.
When a few months ago a Tangier
merchant went to Paris he took with
him three of his prettiest wives and
native servant as chaperon. He es-
tablished himself in fiat on the Left
Bank of the Seine, and at once set
out to see the city. The harem fin
ally became weary with solitude, and
by the aid of the servant procured
European costumes and set out to see
the sights on it's own account Mo
manned Ben Ferma, the husband,
however, discovered the truth and be-
came angry.
In order to prevent a repetition of
the escapade he took away from his
wives their European clothes and had
an iron-barred cage fitted up in one
of the rooms in which he placed his
wives when he went out Again the
servant betrayed his trust; for 20
francs a locksmith furnished a dupli-
cate key, and once more the three
members of the harem enjoyed their
liberty. But it was not to last
One night Mohammed returned to
the fat earlier than usual and found
the cage empty. He awaited his
wives return. When they came in
he proceeded to try them according
to the law of the Koran" and SEN
fenced them to death. Suddenly the
neighborhood was aroused by awful
screams.
When the police burst into the fat
they found Mohammed preparing to
bowstring his wives. He was annoyed
at being interrupted and turned upon
the rescuers. fighting like mad 1t
took six policemen to subdue him.
He is now in prison. The authorities
are wondering what to do with the
arem.

Bryan's Speech Preposterous.

Cleveland. Aug 3l-Democratc state leaders dit-
fer in their views regarding the speech made last
night in New York by William Jennings Bryan
Bryans advocacy of government ownership of rail-
roads was the subject which caused the most conf
ment Some favored it. others denounced 1t. while
others refused 10 discuss IL.
The most important declaration on the subject
was that made by Virgil P. Kline counsel for John
ID. Rockefeller and for the Standard OIL Company
In Ohio. few months ago Kline in an interview
declared for Bryan for President. saying that the
Nebraskan could not approach the present occupsn'
OF the White House when it comes to radicaiisni-
To-day he declared Bryans speech to be prepos-
ferrous. Klines views expressed months ago were
taken TO mean that the Standard Oil Company would
back Bryan. but his opinion to-day tends TO dis
prove that theory.
TT is perfectly preposterous" said he. 1T Is not
fundamental. and he added. significantly. 1T has
not yet been inserted In the Democratic national
platform. However. do not care to discuss it.
Kline referred to Bryan's utterance regarding the
ownership OF railroads by the government.

in the office of the city chemist, with
an especially qualified man, familiar
with asphaltum, in charge.
The board of public works is not well
pleased with previous jobs of asphalt
paving that have been done in Los
Angeles.
Almost daily the members of the
board are compelled to make a trip to
some badly paved street and arrange
for it's repair. In most cases TIE entire
trouble is due to the use of an -lferior
grade of asphaltum, and the board does
not propose to have anything of the
kind happen as long as it holds office.
Two important asphalt paving jobs
have already been advertised and bids
received One of these is Pco street.
from Arapahoe to the western city
boundaries, and the other San Fernan-
do. In all a total of about thirty miles
of asphalt paving is to be laid within
the next few months.
