DIET FOR SLEEPLEssNEsS.
Common Causes of Insomnia-Indi
 gestion 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 removed the insomnia may be ex- pected to disappear.
 Every physician. has had stubborn cases of 1t which would not yield to any treatment and for which a 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 pre- cautions that should have been talk en when the trouble first made it. self manifest.
 Insomnia results from causes which can be removed if attended to in season. The most common cause is found in the digestive organs. Either unsuitable food. causing in- somnia as a feature 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 sieeplessness. since what will agree with one man will disagree with another. But two things that may almos, always be recommended are lettuce and celery.

HIS IRISH BLOOD AWOKE.
Could Whip Jim Brown and Half
 Dozen More on the Side.


 The smart lawyer is always in- tent upon getting at weaknesses in the character of the principal and witnesses on the other side. A we'll known barrister recently told the story of an exploit of his own, when, as counsel for the defendant, he was examining the plaintiff in a cer- tain case.
 His client had got into a quarrel with one Pat Murphy over a busi. ness transaction. The quarrel had gone so far that Murphy had made application to a magistrate to have the other bound over to keep the peace, alleging that he had threat ened to do him bodily injury.
 When the case was called, Mur- phy testified to the circumstances in which the defendant had threatened him. The cross-examination began.
 Now, MT Murphy" the lawyer said, you declare that you are un- der the fear of bodily harm?"
 II am, sorr."
 You are even afraid of your life?"
 "I am, sorr."
 Then you freely admit that Mir Brown, my client, can thrash you?" The question stirred up Murphy's Irish blood instantly.
 Jim Brown thrash me? Nivver!" he shouted. "I kin tackle him, and amy half-dozen like him!"
 That will do, Mir Murphy" said the lawyer.
 The court was already in a roar. and the lawyer felt there was no need for further testimony or argu- ment. The case was dismissed. for it was evident that Pat could not be under serious bodily fear of a man whom, in his opinion, he had only to use one-seventh of his strength to thrash.

MEXICAN LOTTERY TICKETS.
Millions Sold Every Year-Misshapen
 Persons as Vendors.

Nearly $10O,000 is spent in Mexico City every week in lottery tickets, and in the same period about $70,- 900 is paid back in premiums.
 On the weeks immediately preced- ing the big drawings, the sale Of course, mounts up to great sums as, for instance, when the $200,OOO drawings are held, there are 10000 tickets at $40 each sold on the streets, and practically every ticket | is disposed of, most of them during the last two weeks before the draw 1 ing. But as general proposition, on an average of s15,000 day is spent by Mexico City people on the ! lotteries.
 There are as is well known, three companies operating under conces- sions from the government for the conduct lotteries in Mexico City. Many picturesque figures are in cluded in the list of lottery vendors i in Mexico, for all must be licensed. Blind men and women, dogs, old men, cripples and deformed persons all seem attracted to the business of selling lottery tickets for there is an , inxplicable fascination about buying ticket from misshapen person, for there surely must be luck in it., and this feeling is played upon by the vendors.
 There have been from time to time, rumors of changes coming in the lot tery business of Mexico, that this industry is going the way of the gambling houses, now entirely driven out of practically all the cities of the republic, and one hears that the great new prizes are but the fore runners of the lotteries last days, and there efforts to gather in what they may while they can. How much truth there is in this one can not say, but it is reasonable to sup pose that the lotteries will ultimate ly be suppressed.

STARVING GENTLEWOMEN.
Daughter of Baronet Who Sold
 Shoestrings on London Streets.

Extraordinary cases of starving gentlewomen have come to light, such as superannuated governesses, widows of improvident husbands and those who in the days of their youth were able to make quite a comfortable income as clerks or otherwise. <
 By gradual stages representatives of all these types have sunk lower and lower, and sometimes, having sought forgetfulness in drink, have come to the lowest grade before drifting into the shelter of the in- stitute.
 Here was for instance a wretched looking creature, but with unmis- takable signs of having once been "a lady" whose only source of in- come lay in her handful of boot laees which she sold to mechanics in their midday rest. She proved to be the daughter of a baronet. whose marriage had displeased her family.
 Estranged from her relatives by the quarrel of early life, she had too much pride to reveal 10 them the poverty by which she had of late been overtaken: but, absolutely miserable. she crept about the mean streets of our vast city as success fully hidden as if living in another hemisphere, far from the gorgeous mansion. the carriages and the ser wants which once were hers by right of birth-The Culver.

TONS OF STEAK
Athletes Who Eat Plenty of Good
 Meat.

New York, May 21.-"B "Beefsteaks. monologues, contests in the noble art of aggression and defense will be the features at our party in Celtic Park next Saturday evening"" said Counsellor Terence Farley, manager of the affair for the Irish American Athletic Club, speaking to some of his friends last night.
 T like steak" said Martin Sheri- dan, whose appetite is known to be somewhat elastic. How much steak is allowed to each man?"
 The beefsteak party is not re- stricted to men-the wives, sisters and sweethearts of the members are welcome" answered Terry. "The allowance of steak per person is based on the human possibility of getting away with two pounds per healthy adult
 Two pounds is finger bit," said Martin dejectedly.
 "Yes, but we have contracted for ton of porterhouse, said Terry in triumph.
 Wait till I telephone to Pat Con. way and John Flanagan, said Martin. They'll get enough to eat at one meal at last"
 That set Terry thinking and late last night he doubled the order.
 It is said that Charley Harvey, the fistic impresario, has hitherto unknown Irish champion, and that Johnny Pollock, the millionaire packer of aspiring pugs, will put team of members of the club in operation for three rounds for the biggest diamond on Park Row.

STANFORD SENIORS OFFENDED
Threaten to Cut Commencement to
 Enlighten Faculty.

Threaten to Cut Commencement t
 EnIighten Faculty.
 The faculty of Stanford Univers fly has been forced to inquire of the students whether or not there is to be commencement this year.
 Early in the semester a few stud. ents were suspended for drunken ness. Some of their comrades, con yinced that the offence had been ex. aggerated and the penalty made toe severe, protested and petitioned and paraded and offended the chairman of the faculty committee until forty seven of the paraders found them. selves on the faculty black list too.
 For most of them the penalty was the loss of five academic credits apiece; the rest were suspended Followed strike movement which collapsed for lack of substance But in the heat of the fever the seniors voted to let folks see how they stood by cutting out all the commencement week exercises that were theirs to cut.
 The class dance, that meant; the laying of the plate, the senior faculty ball game and the Prom the latter moonlight fiesta in the inner quadrangle which is the most picturesque of all Stanford student functions. There remain only the formal ceremony of graduation and the sermon, and lately word has got to the faculty that the seniors ara conspiring not to attend even these.
 The faculty wants to know Hence the receipt by every senior and candidate for higher degree this letter from the faculty com- mittee on public excerises:
 Do you intend to remain in resi- dence at the university during com mencement week?
 Do you intend to be present with your fellow graduates for the bac- calaureate Sunday services?
 Do you intend to be present in person to receive your degree on commencement day?
 Will you please fill in your answers to these three questions and return this paper promptly?
 In California college students are scattered before the eastern youth has begun to get baseball and row. ing out of his system and prepare for the final exams.
