WHEN YOU CAN'T SLEEP.

There is an odd theory (that many
people believe and which is certainly
harmless) that sleeplessness RAY
often be cured in the following odd
way: Move your bed out into the
open room so that no part of bed
or overs will touch the wall. Then
place under each caster of the bed a
piece of rubber or rubber overshoe,
or set the caster in thick glass dish.
Then 60 to bed, making sure the
covers do not touch the wall. Thus
the bed and yourself will be cut off
from all electric contact with floor
or wall. Such absence of electric
contact, it is claimed, will make you
sleep better. 1t is said to have cured
stubborn cases of insomnia.-New

CENTURY OF MARRIED LIFE
Unique Anniversary Recently ceie-
brated In Village Of lson-
balgl, Hungary.

A ceremony which very probably
has never had it's equal in the his
tory of anyone up to this time was
celebrated lately in the little village
of Isonbalgi, in Hungary.
It took place to commemorate the
marriage of the couple Szathmari,
united for exactly 100 years. The
husband is 1870 years of age and the
wife 116. Their descendants count
together more than $50 persons.
The two old people, who inhabit a
quite modest little cottage, are very
much loved by their neighbors, who
surround them with every possible
care. They are, however, almost
quite blind and deaf.
They pass their time away mostly
in sleeping. Still, occasionally the
old man smokes a little pipe with
evident satisfaction. and enjoys a
glass of wine.
The queerest thing about their
whole life is that this old couple
have never quilted their village
they were both born there. Their
life has been passed there quietly
and peacefully, and never has wish
arisen in their minds to know any,
thing of the vast world which lies
beyond their narrow horizon.-Stray
Stories.

OLD-TlME DIPLOMACY.

Prince Bismarck once boasted that
in his youth he drank bottle of
champagne at one draft from a
puzzle goblet so constructed that
one could not bring it close to ones
lips, yet one was not allowed to spill
a drop. Every one was immensely
surprised, but l said, Give me an
other Such tricks were
formerly an indispensable part of
the diplomats trade. They drank
the weaker vessels under the table,
wormed all they wanted to know out
of them and made them agree 10
things contrary to their instructions.
When they got sober they
could not imagine why they had
acted So"

REAL WORK IN LIFE
Comprehensive Esssy on Conditions
az Or. Luther n. Gulick
Secs Them.

Life is not only for work. It is
for ones self and for ones friends,
writes DIR. Luther H. Gulick in the
Worlds Work. The degree of joy
that man finds in his work is due
to two things, the intensity or full
ness of his vitality, and the congcnial
character of the work itself. When
one is thoroughly well and vigorous,
the mere JOY of living, of merely be-
ing alive, is very great. At such a
time the nature of the work does not
matter to larger extent. The
sense of having power at your COM
mand, and the delight of exerting it,
even in coal shoveling or selling
goods, is enough. When one is full
of life, the mere feeling of fresh wa
ter or air on the skin, the taste Of
the plainest food, the exertion of
muscular effort, the keenness of
ones vision, the sight of color in the
sky, or the sound of the wind or the
waves-it takes nothing beyond
these to make one jubilant, enthusi-
astic.
