USE FOR CAYENNE PEPPER.

In the Form Of Sandwich it viii In.
duee Sleep.
Sufferers from insomnia should try
cayenne pepper sandwiches. Cut a
slice OF thin bread-a plain biscuit
may be used-butter it generously,
and add liberal sprinkling of cayenne
pepper. Cover it over with a thin
slice OF bread or biscuit, as the case
may be. It is surprising what little in
convenience is experienced, merely a
slight, smarting sensation in the
mouth, which is soon over. The sand
wich should be eaten just before re-
firing, and soon after the sufferer will
be asleep. The pepper acts as slim
ulant to the stomach, drawing the
blood from the excited brain and in
ducing sleep. A cayenne pepper sand
witch is much less harmful than drugs
and, when taken in small quantities, is
& good tonic for weak stomach. Bill
ious headache has also been known to
yield L: cup of hot water to which
has been added generous p1rch q
ceyenne pepper and a nip of soda a.
big as pea.

Some Of the apparently most tri-

Ralph L. Jenkins. u.
Take the lace eyes of shoes, for

dispensable to our footwear, and there
are factories that devote themselves
exclusively to making them. Did you
ever stop to think how many of those
little things are used every year?
"On the basis of the population OF
the United States being 100000,
this country uses more than 5000. 900
of lace eyes aud hooks a year. Every
man, woman and child will wear out
on an average two pairs of shoes in
twelve months. The majority of peo-
pie have two feet and there are TWEEN.

There was man in town the other
day who formerly worked in Atchison

Globe. He now receives a salary OF

hard as he did when he lived in At
Gibson.
This man is no great genius; he is
simply a good man." and there are
thousands of such. Being q "good
man" means that a man is industrious,
loyal, intelligent and well-behaved. It
is easier to be good man" than it
is to be a bad one. There is
scarcity of good men," and those who
are patient and work away the best
they can are always recognized and
substantially rewarded. The man
who never does his share, who is will.
Ing to impose on his ONCE or shop
associates. never comes to the front.
The point we desire to emphasize.
is that it is easier to be a "good man"
than it is to be a bad one. You must
live, so why not live in the easiest
way? The easiest way is to be
good man." That is, to do your work
faithfully, intelligently and honestly
and treat yourself and others right.

Nose Poked Into Other Businesses.
The man with a good olfactory or
gan can earn big pay outside the
dairy business. The whisky testers
rely upon the sense of smell more
than upon that of taste to Judge goods
and some whisky smellers draw large
salaries. These men both smell and
taste in judging the goods. They pour
q small amount Of the liquor into a
glass, whirl the glass sharply and
sniff the vapor.
Alcoholic cordials, especially such
as creme de menthe, chartreuse and
absinthe, are tested almost entirely by
the sense of smell, and big buyers
would rather have the judgment of a
smeller than of the best chemist upon
the quality Of the goods.

What FATIGUE Really IL.

Tiredness is as natural a condition
Of life as is the ability to perform
work, writes Andrew Wilson in the
Illustrated London News. It is ma
lures signal that rest and repose are
necessary in order to recuperate the
vital powers. Think for a moment of
the supply of nourishment (Which
means the giving of energy Or "the
power Of doing work'') to any part.
The healthy frame receives it's due
quota of food materials, and out of
them builds up it's substance and OBJ.
tains its working power. But the
supply Of energy is not constant.
Hence, after certain exhaustion of
the store it originally possessed, the
human engine demands more coal and
water. Fatigue Is tn, sign-manual
which authorizes the fl Ssh supply.

How Bird, BULL Nests.


Swallows and house martins build
by sticking together pellets of pre-.
pared road mud. D1ost Of the material
is obtained from the drying puddles
on the high roads. If not mixed with
anything else the ten dency of these
pellets would be to crumble when dry.
But the swallow tribe is supplied with
a mucous secretion which enables it
to gum these particle together. The
swallows nests, from which the Chi.
nese birds nest Woup" is made. are
constructed of this mucous matter
only. An Indian swallow which builds
little boat-shaped nests against the
trunks Of lofty trees practically
makes them Of dNle. saliva.

A disagreeable child Is likely to

that Americans began to cultivate the
finer sensibilities. Emerson says:
"Give boy dress and accomplish

Of palaces and fortunes wherever he
goes. He has not the trouble to earn
or own them. They solicit him to
enter and possess" Children depend
for their good manners upon the ex-

pays like politeness. Let two young

The cocoanut means q great deal
to the West Indian negro, says
Country Life. "A dark-skinned man
ran lightly up the tall stem, with
suspiciously prehensile feet, stopping
at the fruit cluster to select and pull
of a great nut, which he tossed to
the ground. examined it with Gu
riosity, for it was little enough like
the cocoanut Of the stores in the
north. A smooth green covering,
hard, impervious to anything but a
heavy knife-no wender the cocoa
palm spreads among these islands!
Boat-shaped, in sense; light enough
to float easily, the big seed is always
ready for sea voyage. Cast ashore
on sandy beach, it quickly germin-
ates and holds fast in the salty soil,
soon growing to it's estate of beauty
and fruitfulness and able to defy the
hurricanes of the tropics.
Restful as we're the isolated cocoa
palms, it was not until l came upon
a real grove of them that I could
fully appreciate the tropical latitude.
A visit to "Crusoe beach," fringed BY
the great palms, hanging full of heavy
nuts, with liberty to wander where
the sandy ground-it was winter,
mind you!-was covered, not with
fallen leaves of oak and beech, but
with great fronds eight or ten feet
long dropped from the clean-stemmed
giants with feather-duster heads

the fce-bound and coal-smoked north.
