DIET TO CURE sLEEpLEssSEss.
Common Causes Of lnsomnia-lnsi-
eestion and Hunger

DR.. William Stevens says that IN
somnia is not a disease itself, but the
effect Of an unhealthy condition OF
body or mind. When the cause Is re-
moved the insomnia may be expected
to disappear.
Every physician has had stubborn
cases OF il which would not yield TO
any treatment and for which change
OF air or Of scene became necessary.
But such cases as these should not
occur. and do occur only when
the sufferer has neglected precautions
that should have been taken when tie
trouble FIRST made itself manifest
Insomnia results from causes which
can be removed II attended to In sea
SON The most common cause is found
In the digestive organs. Either insult
able food, causing insomnia as fea-
ture of indigestion, or insufficient food,
causing the patient to be kept awake
by hunger.
There are few things which can be
universally recommended as diet for
sleeplessness. since what win agree
with one man will disagree with an
other. But two things that may al
most always be recommended are let
tuce and celery.

South Sea islanders Have Unique
Way Of Sending Messages.

The day was warm and the sailor

We'll, a war ariz between our tribe

He smiled pensively.

a safe way to send message, tattoo
it on your messengers scalp and let

camphor to ereak up ! coId.

One OF the most efficient remedies
for breaking up a cold during its
earliest stage is camphor. When the
eyes begin to water and there is the
accompanying tingling of the nose and
feeling of ehilliness. place three drops
of camphor on a lump Of loaf sugar
and place the sugar in the mouth.
Repeat this every Is minutes till
four or five doses have been taken.
At the same time place the feet where
they will become thoroughly warm.
This will usually prove effectual in
breaking up cold If the cold is taken
al its very beginning. For child but
one drop should be placed upon the
sugar, and five OF six doses admins
tered.-Health

For three Sundays in succession the

backsliding husband in his wife's pew

delinquent in a street car.
Il have not seen you at church for

into her head that was up to some
awful deviltry outside that I was try

vince her otherwise; so. to show her
that l was living a square life I had

When an eminent lawyer or ply

your attention that a writer often
does not begin TO live til he haa been

dead the more alive he is, and the
more acute Is his competition against

Few Desertions from Mexican Army

Few Desertions from Mexican Army.
Instances of desertion from the
army in Mexico are very rare and for
the best of reasons, said Senior Jose
de Minaldez Of Nueya Leon. THE rea-
son lies in the almost sure capture Of
the fugitive and the certainty that he
will get not one but numerous fog
gings on his hare back. These lash
ings are done in the presence Of the
comrades of the deserter, and when
the men see how great is the suffering
Of the miserable wretch who tried in
vain to quit his military obligations,
they are forced to conclude that it is
better to stick to the army than to
undergo such a terrible ordeal"

CHARACTER REVEALED BY HAIR
Good Points and Faillngs Alike Visible
10 the Eyes Of Experts.

Reading character from peoples hair
affords lots Of amusement to some
girls. 1t is recorded that straight,
black. coarse hair, growing thick, in
dicates more order and industry than
mental power Auburn hair means
a kindly and sympathetic nature,
though a hot and breezy temperament
sometimes develops. Straight hair in
dicates power to govern, while curls
suggest a feeble sense Of right and
wrong. they say; though there is
plenty OF gayety, vivacity and self
confidence in the temperament.
Fine brown hair accompanies excel
lent minds. The owners generally
have intellectual tendencies. Red hair
is strongly eharacteristic-no halfway
business here. 1t usually indicates a
quick temper. peppery-of course
there are exceptions.
Golden hair is rarely seen on per
sons Of gross nature. It's owner loves
fine arts and possesses exquisite sensi-
bilities.
Hair and eyebrows differing in
color are said to mean untrustworthi-
ness. They indicate race mixture and
sometimes bespeak a wavering, I'M
steady nature.
AS a rule, smooth, fine, softly wav-
ing hair betokens gentleness. quiet
ness and neatness. Unduly sleek,
straight hair gives warning OF slyness
and hypocrisy.

pRosAlc ORIGIN OF THE HALO.
Said to Have Been Placed Over Stat
ues of Saints TO Preserve Them.


The origin Of the halo dates back
to the eleventh and twelfth centuries.
Those years were rich In the building
Of churches and eathedrals. There
were erected around the outside Of
the sacred edifices statues Of the
saints, placed under the caves. IN
time the caretakers Of the buildings
perceived that the discoloration from
the rains falling from the roofs dis
figured the images. Accordingly they
placed over the tops of them fiat wood
en- disks of sufficient size to protect
the statues. Giotto began to paint
pictures when boy, and his igno-
rance assumed the protecting disks as
an essential part of the saint His
earliest pictures represent each sacred
figure topped of with what looks much
like the bottom of barrel. He ideal
lied this into a circle, dark at first,
but growing more luminous with each
successful production Of his artistic
fancy, until he developed the circle
OF light that has come down un-
changed through generations of paint
ers as a badge of sanctity.
