SLEEP A PUZZLE.
The Mystery involving Tired Natures
Sweet Restorer."


Although the phenomenon has been
observed since man has existed. the
true nature Of sleep and what causes
it are practically mysteries today. All
recognize the necessity OF sleep anu
know that it is the sovereign remedy
for fatiSuc-"tired natures sweet re-
storer''
This fact has led to the theory that
sleep is induced by the poiSons which
are known to be formed and passed
into the blood stream during wearyins
exercise Of mind or body. The theory
is that these poisons benumb the nerve
center controlling the circulation IN the
brain, with a consequent reduction IN
the blood supply. This 'anaemla OF
the brain produces unconsciousness, or
sleep, during which the activities OF
body and mind are rcpreSsed, the Tor
nation of fatigue poisons' IS arrested.
and those already formed and clrculat-
ing in the blood are eliminated.
When this has taken place the puri-
fad blood again nourishes and stimu-
1ates the circulation center, an in
creased volume Of blood flows to the
brain. and the subject awakes, renew
ed in spirit and flesh and ready for the
labors Of the day.
This explanation is only q theoretical
one, but it is plausible. Whatever may
produce it and whether it is cause or
an accompaniment, we know that q
lessened blood supply in the brain is
associated with healthy sleep and that
cerebra! excitement ard congestion
must be overcome before normal sleep
can take place.
The relation Of the circulation to
sleep is seen in the alternate droWsl-
ness and insomnia Of the very aged.
While sitting up they are drowsy and
cannot keep their eyes open. but the
minute they lie down the power to
sleep forSakeS them. This is probably
due to the fact that the arteries have
lost their tone. While the subject sits
up the blood sinks away from the
brain because the weakened heart is
unable to overcome the pull Of gravity,
but when he lies down the blood trlc-
kles into the vessels Of the brain, ana
the smaller arteries are passively dl-
lated by it's pressure. OF course the
process is not quite so purely mechan-
ical as this, for 40 one could live with
such habby arteries. but the force OF
gravity does act in a measure.
The treatment Of this form Of In
somnia Of the aged is not in the giving
Of hypnoties, but Of something that
will tone up the blood vessels, such as
a cup Of hot beef tea, Of not too strong
tea or even Of weak coffee-a paradox;
since these things ere usually supposed
to be inimical to sleep.-1outh's Com
panion.

He Made Sure.

4 colnelJ Scotch maiden had anong
her numerous admirers in the village
a bashful carpenter and undertaken.
At last he spoke; but, alas, he was too
late. She had given her promise to
another, and that other she welded.
1t so happened that within the first
year the young husband died, and the
widow bethought herself of her old
sweetheart and gave him the coffin to
make. He did so, and, allowing what he
considered q decent time to elapse, he
again proposed. Alas, he was again too
late! Strange to say, the second hus-
band was short lived, and again the
carpenter had the coffin to make. Then
he resolved to cast delicacy aside, and
just as he drove the last screw firmly
home he touched the arm Of the twice
widowed fair and asked:
HAS onybody spoken to ye yet?'
He was in time.-London Answers.

SAVED BY SILENCE.
A Buffalo Hunt and an Indian Inter-
Dlnisc

A Buffalo Hunt and an indian Inter-
ruption on the Plains.
Two soldiers who belonged to body
Of troops crossing the western plains
in 1852 started out to capture buffalo.
A herd had been seen about mile
distant. Their horses were in good con-
dition, anG, says the author Of Five
Years a Dragon" they had every rea-
son to anticipate good sport.
They approached the herd at walk
and were within easy pistol shot be-
fore the buffaloes saw them. Then one
Of them, named Peel, went to the west
the other to the east. Peel's compan-
ion had dropped his first buffalo when
the voice Of Peel rang out, "Get on
your horseT'
No time was lost, for, looking east,
he pointed to fifty or more Indians IN
half circle half mile away, their
left wing so far advanced that retreat
to camp was cut off.
Consultation was brief. Peel led the
way down the hill and circled round 4
thicket, carefully selecting the firm,
buffalo grass sod, so as to leave no
trail. and drew into cover not twenty
yards from where some Of the Indians
were sure to come down.
There they sat on their horses, pis-
tolls in hand They had no future
plans; they might have to fight death
under that bluff; they would do what
ever circumstances seemed to dictate.
They had not long to wait. The In
dams came rafting down the rock
trails leading into the bottom, sending
out their bloodcurdling warwhoop at
every Jump. They seemed to think
that the fleeing men would try to es-
cape toward camp and be enveloped in
the circle; did not think that they
would do anything but run for their
lives, which would be sure death. One
brawny brave drew rein at the foot OF
the trail where the men had come
down, raised himself in the stirrups
and. looked sharply toward them.
Peei's companion, believing they were
discovered, raised his pistol to shoot,
but Peel quietly reached over and,
placing his hand on his comrades arm,
gently pressed it down.
In moment the Indian was OH TO
the west, showing by his actions that
he had not seen them.
The way now seemed clear. and they
| quietly walked their horses up Where
they had gone down Il few moments
before, turned south and gently trotted
back toward camp. No fresh meat
cheered the camp that night. but they
had new adventure to talk over.

Indians With Blue Eyes.

One of the mysteries Of Mexico IS
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains in
the lower part of Sonora They have
fair skins. blue eyes and light hair, and
students Of ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them.
There is a tradition, however, that
these Indians are the descendants OF
the crew and passengers Of a Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world. but this tradition Is
founded on nothing more substantial
than folklore tale current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds Of moons
ago.

An Ancient PRAYER.

Cld John Ward. who was pilloried

a pious man. He had large estates in
London and Essex and did not omit
to pray for their welfare in the follow
ing manner: 90 Lord. / beseech thee

Man and the Earth.

Nobody knows the age Of man on
earth. The tendency Of opinion among
scholars is to the effect that the human

many tens OF thousands Of years ago.
John Fiske, backed by other high au-
thorities, claims that man lived on the
earth as long ago as half million
years.-New York American.

Bad Breath From Indigestion Cannot
 Be Overcome With Perfumes.

All of us suffer from bad breath
 of our friends.
 Nine-tenths of this bad breath comes
 from some stomach trouble, and can not be overcome by breath perfumes or any other palliative measures If you occasionally have bad breath: if there is heartburn. flatu- lence and acid gulpings of undigested food: if the stomach burns or smarts if there is sleeplessness. nervousness
 headaches or any other of the many
 symptoms of indigestion. use Mi-o-na stomach tablets and get well. Mi-o-na is not mere digestive nor
 physic. but tonic remedy that strengthens the muscles of the stom- ach and bowels SD that the flow of
 gastric juices is increased and the food is digestcd naturally and does not stay in the stomach to ferment and
 poison the breath
 The Larson Drug company have seen so many cures made by Mi-o-na stom- ach tablets that they give a guarantee with every 50-cent box that the money will be refunded if the remedy fails tu
