WOOING SLEEP.

4 haggard looking man strolled into a downtown drug store the other day and asked the druggist for help. He said ne had trouble in getting sleep when he retired. No matter how sleepy he might be during the day, or how much sleep he might have lost, the moment his head touched the pillow he was wide awake and lay thus for sev- eral hours. once asleep he was hard to waken. but he had to be up at a cer- tain hour, and in consequence of his peculiar affliCtion he was losing more sleep than he could stand. The drug clerk regarded him quizzically a few moments and then replied:
 My dear man, you don't want medi- cine. What you want is something to change the trend of your thoughts. Do as a friend of mine did. He was trou- bled the same way and found that the old folks plan of imagining sheep passing a barrier and counting them was out of date. So he began trying to name all the states in the Union.
 He soon got them so he could class fly them alphabetically Then, when they no longer interested him. he started on the counties of this state. He now has them at his tongues end. classified up to the fourth letter. Now he is starting on state capitals and their locations; then he will take up county seats A moments glance at an atlas during the day shows him when he is wrong. and. the beauty of the plan is that he rarely has to think along these lines longer than ten min utes before he is sound asleep. To make it short. the study of geography is a good narcotic. From the Phil adelphia Record.

HOW TO LIVE TO 100.

With reference to the question of longevity. a correspondent yesterday interviewed a well known peer who has long since passed the allotted span of three-score years and ten.
 ''I never found" he said. that the use If tobacco was in any way an assistance to the bearing of the bur den of age. IL made me sick at Eton land since then have found no use or advantage therein. Early rising. that is to say not later than eight o'clock. and bed at midnight. are certainly i'm portant factors in assisting a man to attain longevity. and there can be no doubt that irregular hours do much to sap a mans constitution
 Unless the middle classes combine and take strong stand. apart from party or politics. to check the growing tendency towards excessive athlet- icism. pleasure seeking. and disregard of motive, old age will present itself to them as a gloomy thing. and they will long, as I do to pass quietly away: glad. certainly. to have lived and have seen what they have seen. but with no desire to prolong their existence to anything like approaching unusual limits"

EFFECT OF MOIST RE ON WOOD.

The effect of water in softening or ganic tissues, as in wetting a piece of paper or q sponge. is well known. and so is the stiffening effect of drying. The same law applies to wood. By different methods of seasoning two pieces of the same stick may be given
 very different degrees of strength.
 Wood in its green state contains
 moisture in the pores of the cells, like
 honey in a comb. and also in the sub
 stance of the cell walls. As seasoning
 begins, the moisture in the pores is
 first evapOrated. This lessens the
 weight of wood, but does not affect its
 strength. It is not until the moisture
 in the substance of the cell walls is
 drawn upon that the strength of the
 wood begins to increase. Scientifical-
 ly, this point is known as the fiber
 saturation point" From this cOndi-
 tiOn to that of absolute dryness the
 gain in the strength of wood is some what remarkable. In the case of
 spruce the strength is multiplied four
 times: indeed. spruce in small size.
 thoroughly dried in an oven, is as strong. weight for weight, as steel. Even after the reabsorption of moist ure. when the wood is again exposed U the air the strength of the sticks is still from 90 to I50 per cent greater than when 1t was green. When. in drying. the fiber saturation point is passed, the strength of wood increases ! as the drying progresses. in accord . ance with a definite law. and this law can be used to calculate from the strength Of a stick at one degree of moisture what its strength will be at any other degree.
 Manufacturers, engineers. and build | CTS need to know not only the strength . but the weakness of the materials they [ use. and for this reason they are quite 1 as much interested in knowing how timbers are affected by moisture as they are in knowing how they are weakened by knots. checks. cross grain . and other defects. IL is obvious that | where timbers are certain to be weak ened by excessive moisture they will . have to be used in larger sizes, for safety. So far. engineers of timber tests. while showing that small pieces gained greatly in strength, do not ad- wise counting on the same results in the seasoning of large timbers. owing to the fact that the large timbers usu- ally found in the market have defects which are sure to counterbalance the gain from seasoning.
 The forest service has just issued publication entitled The Strength of Wood as influenced bx Moisture" in which are shown the strength of rep rcsentative woods in all the degrees of moisture from the green state to absolute dryness and the effects of re soaking. This publication will be sent free upon application othe For est Service. C. S. Department of Agri- culture, Washington. D.-C.

WHY HE WAS TIRED.

A man alighted from a train. and after walking labOriously up the short flight of stairs which led to the wait ing room. stopping a few times on the way to rest, he looked round for q place to sit down. His wan, thin face, heavy eyes. and general appearance of weakness and dejectiOn attracted at tention, and a kind old gentleman ac- cOsted the stranger and asked if he could be of any assistance.
 Moo. thanks" the young man drawled out; I'll get along if I take my time about it."
 Are you ill?"
 ''No-o. I'm not i'll. But I feel as if I were completely done up"
 Been in an accident?"
 NO-O. I'm just tired: that's all. Thanks; you may call a hanson for me. if you will. Don't believe I could ever walk out to the tramway. I don't mind if you carry my bag. I'm so tired"

MESA
MEXICAN ASSAULTS INDIAN
 WOMAN

Late Wednesday evening an assault
 was attempted on an Indian woman
 named Viviana, in a lonesome section
 on the Lehi. bottom lands. by a MeXi-
 can named PorfidiO Quinones. The woman d!d rot report the matter to Judge Guthrie until Thursday evening. when she appeared with her husband and the latter swore out a warrant for the MeXican's arrest. The warrant was set for o'clock.
 The stor-- of the Indian woman and of a friend who was with her is to the effect that the two women had been in Mesa all day. washing for their GUS toners. and at a rather late hour started to walk home. to the reserva- tion. When short distance past the Ed Jones vineyard, they found Quin- ones sitting beside the road. When they approached the Mexican got up. and spoke to them. giving each a pomegranate. He then walked along with them. He attempted several times to -alk beside Viviana, who is a comedy sQuaw about g. years of age. The other woman was over fifty years or age. and she insisted on keeping be- tween her friend and the Mexican The latter made several indecent pro pOsals to Niviana, and she became frightened and started to run. The The Mexican followed and soon caught her. He threw her to the ground, but just then the old woman. who had secured a stout club. caught up and beat the Mexican over the head until he had 10 release his victim. The two women then fought the man away and escaped to their homes.
 The Mexican claimed that he was intending the woman no harm. but. having had a few drinks, felt in playful mood and was just scuffling with Viviana. The court bound Qunn- ones over to the grand jury to answer to a felony charge

TEMPE
CITY COUNCIL MEETING.
The Reading of Petitions, Engineers
 Report and Other Matters.

The regular monthly business meet ing of the city council was held Thurs day evening with all members of the couHcil excepting one present. The regular bills of the month were audi ed and ordered paid and after other routine business had been disposed of a petition from the water users of Goldman's addition to Tempe was pre- sented. The petition prays that in view of the fact that the signers there of. are and have been having any amount of difficulty in managing the irrigating water used in that end of town. the council will take up the question and act as trustee in the matter, having full charge Of the ditches and the water used there. IL developed by the discussion that en- sued the reading of the petition, that under the present conditions, the city would be unable 10 manage it as the petitioners desired owing to the man her in which the water for the addi- tion is carried on the canal company's books. The petition was tabled but will very probably be given further consideration at a later date.
 Another petition was presented which also referred to water in the same neighborhood. It asked that the citS extend it's water main south to the southeast corner of block H. It was signed by four people living with in the city limits and more than that living just outside of 1t. The outsiders propose. according to the petition, to pipe the water from the end of the main to their respective homes at their own expense; to put in a meter at the end of the main and propor- tionate the cost of the water among themselves. So far as the outsiders are concerned, no action was taken in their behalf. It was moved and car ried. however. that a two inch line be extended to the end of Van Ness street for the benefit of those residing on that street within the city limits. It was shown by figures that the in come on this line, figured on the basis of the cost of it. would pay the city from 15 to 20 per cent per annum. The matter of supplying those at the end of the line and outside of the limits of the town. will be taken up shortly and of a satisfactory agreement between them and the city can be reached. it is very probable that they will be talk en care of in the near future.

THE HERALD has for some time had
in view the publication of an illustrated
folder or booklet advertising Greater

Brownsville country. 1t will be hand
somely gotten up, published on fine
book paper, and illustrated with num-
Der of half-tone cuts, showing the lead
ing buildings here, and views of interest
in this section.
It is expected that the leading bust
ness men and promoters of various en-
terprises in this section will subscribe for
these folders in hundred lots or more,
the advertisement of each individual or
firm being printed on the back of the
number of folders subscribed for. Sew
eral of our leading real estate firms have
agreed to take a large number of these
folders, and it is expected thar others
will patronize the enterprise with equal
liberality. Fuller explanations will be
published shortly, and canvass made
among our citizens to secure subscrip-
tons to these pamphlets, which will be
an advertisement of very high order
for Brownsville and the lower Rio Grande
valley.
