UNTOUCHED BY FATHER TIME
Mohammedans of the Thraolan Plain
Live Almost Exactly the Same
Life as Their Ancestors.

The Turkish and other Mohamme-
dan villagers from the Thracian
plains are retracing backward the
steps Of their ancestors of five GEN.
turtles ago, and leaving Europe to
return to Asia. And the weird part
of it is that in costume, conveyances
and manner of life there has been
practically no change in these five
hundred years. The wheels of their
long, narrow carts have spokes in
them now, where they used to be
solid wheels, and perhaps the rush
mating that protects the family
from the weather may be little bet
ter woven. But the oxen or buffaloes
that leisurely drag the household
along, and the barefooted wife or
the sandaled husband with the goad
who pulls these numbering animals
by string, and the primitive mode
of life on their plodding journey, all
belong to a bygone age.

BERLIN MUST BEHAVE ITSELF
strict Regulations as to Conduct Have
Been Made, and They Will Be
RIeldIy Enforced.

The German police are deter
mined that Berlin shall behave itself,
that henceforth it shall be an orderly
and a desirable place of residence.
To this end it is forbidden-our old
friend "verboten"-to walk more
than three abreast on the pavement,
to swing walking sticks or umbrellas,
to talk loudly, whistle, sing, or shout,
to drop cigar or cigarette ends, pa
per OF fruit on the pavements, and
to wear long skirts that produce
dust. Nothing has been said so far
about squeaking boots, or loud-tick-
ing watches, but probably the Ger
man police have their eagle eye upon
these evils and they will be abated
in due course. Now, the fun of the
whole thing is the fact that these
rules will be enforced. No German
law ever drops into desuetude. These
rules will have as much force in fifty
years. time as they have today unless
they shall be categorically repealed,
and they will be applied without dis
elimination or favor.-San Francis.

HERE IS CURE FOR INSOMNIA
Wrap Wet Bandage Around the Leg
to Draw Blood From the Head,
Says Physician.

A curious cure for sleeplessness
has recently been reported. A piece
of calico, about 18 inches wide and
234 yards long is rolled up like a
bandage, and a third Of it wrung out
Of cold water. The leg is then ban
daged with this, the wet parts being
carefully covered by several layers
of the dry part, as well as by layer
of gutta percha tissue, and q stock
ing drawn on over the whole.
This causes dilation of the vessels
of the leg, thus diminishing the
blood in the head and producing
sleep. 1t has been found by Winter
nitz that the temperature in the ear
passage begins to fall a quarter of
an hour after the application of the
bandage, the decrease amounting to
0.4 degrees O., and the normal not
being again reached for from ~ to
two hours afterwards.
The writer has employed this
means of producing sleep for q
couple of years and finds it especial
ly useful in cases where there is con.
gestion of the brain. Sometimes he
has found it necessary to reapply
the bandage every three or foul
hours, as it dried.-Family Doctor.
