Postcard Eoolishness

The height of postcard asininity has
been attained by French genius. He
has caused cards to be printed with
the reverse side filled with squares.
each square containing a tabloid mes
sage of a few words. The idea is
that the purchaser may place his mark
at the square bearing the message he
wishes to convey to his dear friend.
Every possible emergency is supposed
to be covered. Good morning. "
Best wishes" Trust you are feeling
better Its a boy" I'VE are having
fine weather." "Mother-in-law died to-
day." 81 am having fine old time, -
Il wish l were with you again"
Write me long letter." Though far
away love you STILL" Keep a chair
IN the chimney corner for me"-these
are some of the predigested messages
contained on this most notable of
laborsaving devices.
One can easily imagine the heart
felt qualification of the recipient OF
one of these tokens of remembrance
and esteem.-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

How to Cure Insomnia.

The first thing for a person inclin.
ed to insomnia to do is to stop worry
ing.
The greatest obstacle 10 sleep is to
worry that you are not going to
sleep; the more you move the god of
slumber the more shy he becomes.
Next, be careful about what you eat
The stomach is a powerful factor in
sleep and will keep one awake IL IL is
100 empty, or IL it is too full. Sugar,
candy and chocolate have a tendency
10 keep one awake, and sweet desserts
should be avoided at night as we'll as
coffee, tea and greasy foods; whether
an empty or a partially full stomach
is better depends on the individual
and is determined by experimentation
in each case
One OF the best ways to draw the
blood from the brain is to take a mod
erately swift walk before retiring.
and If there is still difficulty in get
ting TO sleep, a tepid bath and a gen.
tie rub will draw the blood from the
brain to the surface of the body. Per-
sons susceptible to sound who awake
easily may find it wise when sleeping
in noisy neighborhood to stuff medi-
Gated cotton in the ears, which will
keep out noises and insure undisturb-
ed slumber.
Get into the don't care" mood Get
into bed, indlmerent whether you are
going to sleep or not, and you will
find generally as a result that sleep
VIII reward you.-Boston Traveller.

Watch Recovered from River.

John Norris, former chief consta-
bic of Coventry, was the possessor OF
a historical Tay Bridge watch. This
was engraved with view OF the Tay
bridge. and was inscribed as follows:
The Tay Bridge Disaster, Dec, 1879"
This watch lay in the River Tay for
six weeks; IL stopped at the time of
the accident. remained silent many
days, started again and worked nine
hours under water.
1t was a gold keyless lever which
had been lent to Mr.. Beynan, an artist
of Cheltenham, who was drowned. A
charge of dynamite was afterward
used with view of raising the body
from the river, and this doubtless
started the watch again.-London

FLYING FOR HEALTH.
Effects Of Higher Atmosphere on
Aeronaut'e Appetite.

The influence of even sporadic
flight on the physical body and the
health is remarkable. In balloon voy-

as four days at a time. Once 1 made
a voyage almost an invalid from rheu-
matism. l could scarcely raise my
arms on a level with my head. My
blood was black. The doctor would

looking like flame, and / seemed I'M
able to appease my appetite for strong
animal food, of which / had none too

rheumatism that voyage conveyed me
to the tortures of hunger.
/ went TO see friend who was very
low with consumption. / told him to
go with me on voyage and he would
come back a well man. He shook his
head, but | was persistent. At last he
went, and for the first two hours in
the air / thought he would bleed to
death with hemorrhages. / felt like a
murderer, but soon he began to
change. The voyage was from st.
Louis to the Atlantic coast. That was
20 years ago. He went back home and
is still living, a robust man. / had

COURAGE.

In seasons of distress and difficulty
to abandon ourselves to detection car
ries no mark of a great or worthy
mind. Instead of sinking under trou-
BILE and declaiming that his soul is
weary of life, 1t becomes wise and
good man in the evil day with firm
ness to maintain his part; to bear up
against the storm; to have recourse
to those advantages which in the
worst of times are always left to in
tegrity and virtue. and never to give
up the hope that better days may yet
arise.-Anonymous.
