Insomnia.

Insomnia is the not uncommon fate
OF the brainworker who. after years Of
continuous mental strain. retires from
active life. The reason is that mental
activity demands a large supply of
blood for the brain, and the blood YES
sells gradually accommodate them
selves to this large supply. But, when
the hard work Is over, the brain does
not always realize that It needs less
nourishment, and hence the condition
Of excessive mental activity which Is

half of his wealth lay west of the
Alleghenies. Some idea of his ex-
tensive holdings may be had from an
advertisement which appeared in the
Alexandria (Virginia) Gazette of the
time, which contained several COL
umns describing lands that he wished
to lease or sell. He offered to "lease
5000 acres Of Mount Vernon land,
the properties known as the River
Farm, the Union Farm, the Dogue
Run Farm and the Muddy Hole Farm,
respectively" The lands for sale
were "9744 acres on the southeast
side of the Ohio River; 1926 acres
on the Great Kanawha; 3042 acres
on the Little Miami, within a mile of
the Ohio, and 5000 acres in the Green

His diary, carefully kept almost

barrels of good whisky, and frequent
sales of hogs, sheep, etc. From 1853

his great farms to Bristol and Liver

were handled in his name during this
time, and his agents in England were
