The Military Death Sentence.

You know how a soldier traitor Is put to death," said the colonel. "The traitor stands blindfolded, and half q dozen privates shoot at him simul- taneously. But perhaps you don't know that each of those privates, though he take the most careful aim. may afterward say without fear of contradiction that the traitors blood does not stain his hands This Is the reason: Two of the rifles for this ghast- ly shooting are always loaded with blank cartridges. Them they are shuf- fed, and no one knows which the harmless ones are. The executioners draw, and each Is as Ike as not to draw harmless gun. So when they shoot they can solace' themselves with the thought that maybe they are only shooting blank cartridge at the poor blindfolded wretch before them."

ADVICE ON SLEEPlNG.A
How to Secure the Most Perfect;
 ReDosc.

HOW to Secure the Most Perfect;
 Repose.
 During childhood and exhaustive states too much sleep is rarely possible. For those in full tide of vigor too much sleep is often distinctly hurtful, says Popular Science Monthly.
 The action of narcotics presents norie of the characteristics of normal sleep except the temporary arrest of con- sciousness; hence narcosis is not true. sleep.
 The best position to assume in sleep to invite the least disturbance of the functions of the great organs is on the abdomen or nearly so. Many obscure forms of digestive or eirculatory disor- ders may have been initiated in in- fancy through lying too long upon the back.
 ' To secure the most perfect repose the temperature of all parts should be capitalized before retiring. Cold feet in- duce delay in securing sleep, and it is. then shallow when attained. It is most unwise to overfill the stomach before, retiring. This disturbs sleep almost as, much as hunger, but moderate eating before sleeping is not hurtful and is of ten salutary.
 Body clothing at night should be loose, not dense, permitting the ready passage of air, never of wool next to. the skin. Bed clothing should not be too close of texture, blankets being preferable to dense "comfortables" and not tucked in" too closely Air should oe allowed to pass occasionally under the sides at least as one turns about more or less freely
 Early rising is a salutary custom, es-. pecially when the day comes early, not otherwise. More sleep is required, in winter than In summer. The best sleep Is had during the hours of darkness.
 The sleeping room should be cool, abundant air being always" admitted. This should not be interpreted to mean that the room may safely remain i'm tensely cold.

Mystery surrounds the probably fatal shooting of Henry Ragland, 8 white miner at Coalburg last night. He was brought to Birmingham on an early morning Southern train ana carried to the Copeland 1nflrmary. A telegram was sent in advance to Lige Loy, who had an ambulance in waiting at the station. Although conscious Ragland was weak from the loss of blood and
 On a later train from Coalburg was Deputy Sheriff J. F., Brents. who had in custody two negroes charged with the shooting. They are George Denson and Will Moland. They told the deputy that the trouble was over game Of some kind. According to what the ne groes told the deputy, the shots were intended for another white man.. The authorities are not inclined to believe the story for the reason that Ragland was struck four times, one bullet en- tering his back, another shattering his left arm. one cutting his lip and a fourth taking effect in his right arm. The physicians fear the effect of the bullet which entered the back more than any of the others.
 Shortly before noon relatives of Rag land reached the city and went to St. Vincent's hospital in search of the wounded man. They later went to the Copeland infirmary, where Ragland was carried They knew nothing of the details leading -un to the shooting other than it was done by negroes.
 Ragland is married but is said to have no children. The negroes charged with the deed were locked up in the county jail on a charge of assault with intent to murder.
