THE MYSTERY OF SLEEP.
No Man Knows When the Moment Of
Unconsciousncss Comes.

Inconsistencies Comes.
There is a remarkable fact connected
with sleep which must not be over
looked The sleep of a human being
II we are not too busy to attend to the
matter, always evokes a certain feeling
of awe, Go into a room where a per
son is sleeping, aud it is difficult to
resist the sense that one is in the pres
ence of the central mystery of exist
ence. People who remember how con
stantly they see old Jones asleep In
the club library will smile at this, but
look quietly and alone even Mt old
Jones and the sense OF mystery will
soon develop.
1t is no good to say that sleep is only
moving because it looks like death
The person who is breathing 50 loudly
as to take away all thought Of death
causes the sense of awe quite as easily
as the silent sleeper who hardly seems
to breathe
We see death seldom, but were 1t
more familiar we doubt If q corpse
would inspire so much awe as the un-
ing, irresponsible doll, flesh and blood,
but doll to whom in a second may
be called a proud, active, controlling
consciousness which will ride his bodi-
ly and his mental horse with a hand
of iron. which will force that body to
endure toll and misery and will make
that mind, now wandering in paths Of
fantastic folly, grapple with some great
problem or throw all its force into the
ruling, the saving or the destruction
OF mankind. The corpse is only SO
| much bone, muscle and tissue; the
sleeping body is the house which q
quick and eager master has only left
for an hour or so.
Let any one who thinks sleep is not
a mystery try to observe in himself
the process by which sleep comes and
to notice how and when and under
what conditions he loses consciousness.
He will. of course. utterly fail to put
his finger on the moment Of sleep COM
ing, but in striving to get as close as
he can to the phenomena Of sleep he
| will realize how great is the mystery
| which he Is trying to fathom.

WASTED PRECAUTIONS.
A Spell of Worry and Anxiety That
Went For kauqht.

Ferguson was vending his uncertain
way homeward, sorely troubled in his
mind over the curtain lecture he knew
was in store for him and casting about
for some means of evading it. Sudden
ly bright idea was evolved from his
befuddled brain. He would slip into
the house and get quietly into bed
without awakening his wife.
Accordingly he stole gently upstairs,
and crept into bed, with his face to-
ward the outside.
He mentally congratulated himself
upon his success thus far and went to
sleep.
When he awoke In the morning he
dared not look at his wife. and after
lying still for few minutes and not
hearing any noise from her he con
cluded she was still asleep.
He then determined to arise very
quietly, carry his clothes outside the
door. dress there and go downtown TO
business without waiting for break
fast. He was successful In this, and,
meeting the servant girl downstairs, he
said:
Eliza, you can tell your mistress
expect to be very busy today and
therefore l didn't stay to have break
fast with her this morning"

HIS FIRST THOUGHT.
President Mckinley's Devotion to Fla
Invalid Wife.

tnVaiio wire.
In the early days Of the Spanish VIA.
Mr.. Mckinley and Mark Hanna were
engaged in close and serious evening
conference in the presidents room.
The time ran along to the hour of Q.
Suddenly those busy in the outer room
saw President Mckinley rise and leave
tlN apartment, saying. Wait a few mo-
ments. Mark" He was gone about
twenty minutes. In the meantime Sen
ator Hanna walked restlessly between
the two rooms, speaking n word or two
to the secretaries and showing plainly
that he shared with the president a
feeling of deep anxiety as to the out
come Of the military proceedings. He
remarked on the fact OF great shortage
Of supplies and from his words and
bearing revealed to the assembled few
in that outer room that the president
and his closest advisers were lying
awake nights and working to make up
for the deficiencies Of the military stu
alton.
When the president returned he and
Senator Hanna resumed their anxious
consultation. Then the presidents sec
rotary remarked to one who was near
him:
Il suppose you wonder why Presi-
dent Mckinley got up so suddenly and
left without a word to any one. You
saw how anxious he was about the
military situation. Even that would
not cause him to break away from
what has come to be the custom OF his
early evening.
about the same time every night.
when he hears signal from the other
side, he knows that Mrs. Mckinley Is
ready to retire and wishes to see him.
No matter how busy he may be nor
how deeply engaged in any subject, hc

bred to run their game by sight and
not by scent and to overtake it not by
wearing it down, but by sheer speed
and skill of running. How this type
was evolved affords much interesting

is on record that greyhound beat the
famous race horse Flying Childers. An
absolute trial between horse and grey
hound Is difficult to bring off. because.
while the horse can be ridden at top

the greyhound will run all he can.
