SELF SUGGESTION
HAS PART In SLEEP

BOSTON, Mass, Nov. A-seif-sugg~s-
tion plays great part in the production
OF sleep. Ordinarily we do not sleep by ac-
cldent or haphazard. We resolve TO sleep.
We go through a variety Of actions all
suggestive Of change from our normal
waking conditions. We undress, we place
ourselves in a comfortable position, we
close our eyes. We believe and expect that
we are going to sleep. and the result is
sleep One of the great preventives of
sleep is the fear of not sleeping. Once this
fear is broken down. we sleep. The insom-
MAC worries about his insomnia, and this
very worry deepens the mischief Hence
the sufferer should suggest TO himself
again and again.-"If 1 sleep. well; If I
don't sleep, win at least gain rest by
keeping my mind calm and my body re-
laxed." In a word, our chances Of getting
sleep increase If we assume the external
physical attitude which corresponds to
sleep, II we relax every muscle and let It
stay relaxed. If we breathe lightly and
regularly, II we call up the imaginatlons
of a sleeping person and talk and think
sleep to ourselves repeating silently and
IN a quiet dreamy fashion such a formula
as this :''There is no reason why 1 should
not sleep. Therefore l can sleep. There
fore I will sleep My mind is at peace.
Sleep is coming. am getting sleepy. am
about to sleep. am asleep"

QUEER sLAPs AT ROCKEFELLER.

M o matter what Mr. John d. Rockefeller
does some one SHES a brick at him.
Usuci.y among the leaders in this diversion are
men who have never done anything.
Recently Mr.. Rockefeller gave a million doll
to be devoted to the eradication of the hook
worm in the South. We don't know much
about the hook worm in Delaware, and seldom
hear our doctors speak of it, but it is a disease
that, according to all reports plays havoc in
the South, numbering its victims by the thous-
ands In some other parts of the country it is
prevalent.
Mr. Rockefeller's Gift. however has provoked
the wrath of the Methodist Episcopal Bishop
in Georgia. He declares that the gift is an out
rage on the South, ga slander on that section OF
the country"
Years ago when any one gave money TO aid
education or any other worthy cause in the
South, there were always some who spoke
as the Bishop is reported to have spoken, but
1t is hardly possible that Mr. Rockefeller
thought OF the matter in that light when he gave
the money We are sure that if he should send
a pile of money to Delaware to aid our anti
tuberculosis fight, for instance, no one would
think that he was sandering us.
Mr. Rockefeller seems to have been inspired
BY desire to aid humanity in this instance
He is not going to make trust OF hook worms
and neither viii he advance the price OF oil to
them
Fortunately in this instance the complaining
preacher does not represent any considerable
sentiment in the South. though there are still

with that fresh and unquenchable op-
timism which enables chicagoans to so

with pleasure we note that certain OF her
bold spirits have set out to teach walters
how to wait. There Is something very en-
gaging about this notion, it Will be

has man embarked upon such a forlorn
hope. or faced such overwhelming odds.
The present endeavor Is upon a small
scale, being limited TO the forty student
walters in the commons OF the Univer-
sity Of Chicago But If success should
ensue by any chance, il need hardly be
said that the movement would spread
ike wildfre A textbook has been prepared
by the faculty OF the Chicago waiting
school. ana from It we present these sam
pie rules;
Avoid appearing to slam things down on
tho table.
DO not scufne. talk, or drop trays.
Always place a drink TO the right OF
the customer.
A waiter should never leave any GUS
toner after serving till he knows he has
the necessary silverware to eat with
An egg with broken yolk should not
be served at all.
To be a good waiter 1t is essential that
you should be quick, but also that you
should not appear 10 hurry
Walters should remove dirty dishes as
soon as the customer is through, but be
sure that he is through and avoid giving
an impression that you are in a hurry
for him to finish.
It will be seen that these Western ex-
perts In the high art OF waiting have lofty
ideals. For our part, we cannot help
thinking that the rules should have be-
gun with simple propositions. Certainly,
from a New York point of view, the edu-
cation Of walters should start with such
aXioms as these:
Remember that this is a free country
and that the diner is I'm theory as good
as you are.
Slam things down, or toss them in from
the kitchen, but get them on the table
the same day If possible.
A bill Of fare. glass Of water and a
napkin win keep a guest amused for a
long while. It's the little things that
count.
scufhe. talk. or drop trays or do any
thing else, but bring the food.
| No doubt your tip should be as large as
the check, but give us time.
Never be rough with a guest. He IS
probably doing the best he can.
No. A college course for walters may
be all very well in Chicago; but here in
Manhattan a kindergarten would much
better suit the neds.

ELECTION AFTERMATH.

the election has had any national signh-
\ cance it shows that there is no widespread
dissatisfaction among the Republicans over the
Aldrich tariff bill. The voters made no break
from the party because of that measure To be
sure, Governor Draper, of Massachusetts, for re-
election had a close call. 1t is surprising that
he pulled throughzat ALL for fight was made
on him because of his veto of the eight-hour law.
Remarkable indeed it is that in a state in which
the labor unions are so strongly entrenched that
a reactionary like Draper should be elected.
Here is a man who boldly opposed movement
for a shorter working day that has the support
not only of labor unions but of others interested
in industrial progress among the masses. How
the masses can continue this progress if they
refuse to defeat man who is avowedly their
opponent we cannot figure out.
Throughout the West the contests seem to
have been waged on local issues
Radicalism made no progress Tom l.. John
son finally met defeat, and it seems to have been
case in Cleveland OF Too much Johnson. He
: was becoming a perpetual candidate fQf Mayor.
But there will be many regret over his defeat.
Johnson has spent a fortune in fighting en-
trenched corporate wealth, in fighting the bat
ties of other people, in striving to bring about
reform in municipal railway service but he has
finally gone down.
In fact the people after certain time tire of
reformers. They want a rest. The difference
between them and the supporters of privilege
and political machines is that the special ones
never sleep. Perhaps they already have their
candidates for the Delaware Legislature picked
out. They need only few in the State Senate.
And it is the same way elsewhere.
So far as the "wet' or "dry" question is con-
cerned It seems to have been a stand-of where
such issues were involved.
Tammany has gone down to defeat in New
York. Gaynor has never been Tammany man
and the election of the candidates on the Fusion
ticket excepting Barnard, takes the control Of
the CITY ont Of the hands OF Tammanv We pre-
sumo that vice will now promptly be kicked out
Of the back door, that all the New York rogues
will become angels and that other miracles will
be worked in a flash.

FOOTBALL FATALITIES.

HE football season this year has been un-
= usually prolific OF accidents The death
of a cadet at West Point in the game with Har-
ward, and the fatal injury OF a cadet at Annapolis,
are most unfortunate There will be no Army
and Navy game this year and the football ques-
ton will undoubtedly come before Congress at
the next session. 1t would not be surprising if
the game should be prohibited at the government
institutions.
Several years ago it was supposed that by a
change in the rules, doing away with mass plays,
the roughness of the sport had been held within
bounds And for a time there were fewer serious
accidents than there had been before. But this
year the roughness and foul playing are greatly
in evidence The games on the University Of
Pennsylvania ground have been particularly
rough, notwithstanding the fact that the officials
have enforced severe penalties If football is to
remain in favor, the officials will simply have to
stop the dangerous playing. Years ago the
game, although always rough, was not marked
by so many serious accidents.

What q Dollar Dog Can Do.

for which he paid II dollar. 1t was

the bulldog strain predominant. The
owner was Il man In humble circun-
stances. and the drg In his modest
dwelling was the principal asset aside
from II few sticks of furniture. The
other night Tom was tied to y leg OF

family went to bed. They We're awak-

master came out to see what was the
matter the dog. with remnant or

whined and ran to the head of tic
stairway. The house was on fire. and
shortly after woman and child and
man and dog made their escape their
poor dwelling was a mass Of glowing
embers. The owner of the dog has
been urged to part with him for
large cash consideration; but. though
he is penniless, he will not part with
the four footed savior of bis family.
Neither has the dog at any time had
thoughts of leaving them for luxurious
kennels.-New York Times.

EARTHQUAKES.
Great Shocks Almost Always Followed
by After Shocks.

Great Shocks Almost Always Followed
by After Shocks.
Although seismologists have not yet
succeeded in finding out any means Of
definitely predicting the occurrence OF
an earthquake. they are very hopeful
Of finally arriving ut this desired goal.
and already they can discern danger
by the pulsations which are always
gently agitating the surface of the
earth. A sudden cessation Of these
heart beats is danger signal, extreme
stiffness invariably preceding an earth
quake, whereas constant tremors are a
good sign.
A great earthquake is almost always
followed by weaker ones, and when 1t
is violent and destructive the number
Of minor shocks following it may
amount to hundreds or even thousands
and continue for several months or
years.
The occurrence of after shocks is
quite natural and necessary for the set
Ting down into stable equilibrium OF
the disturbed tract at the origin of dis
turbance, each Of these shocks remov
ing an unstable or weak point under
meath.
Further. as Il very great shock would
remove correspondingly great under
ground instability it is probable that
such shock would not for u long
time be followed by another of mag,
-,;t,,5, oomDara hlp tO ifS own in the
same or a neighboring district.
When. however, the initial shock Is
not very great it may be followed by
another like it. but even in this case
the position of the origin of the second
shock would usually be quite distinct
from that of the first.-Wide World

lavender.

How many of those who delight In
the odor of fresh sweet lavender ever
think how the plant came by its sooth-
Ing name? Back he must go in imag-
ination to the clean old Romans and
their cult of the bath. Lavender found
high favor with them to perfume. their
baths. and it was they who called it
lavandula, the root of the name being
the Latin lavare-to wash. In olden
days, too. lavender leaves were an i'm
portant ingredient in the making OF
precious spikenard ointment. Although
we regard lavender as SO peculiarly
English a plant. owing to it's extensive
cultivation in the home counties and
its associate with our English homes
and gardens. it was not, as matter OF
fact. introduced to this country until
the sixteenth century. when it came
from France with the Huguenot set
tiers. The Romans did not apparently
bring it to us when they gave rs our
fine roads Westminster Gazette.
