Remedy Tor sleepIessnecs.

A correspondent of the New York
Evening Post wri,es: 81 venture to
speak in your columns of a remedy for
sleeplessness which l have found use
full, after vainly trying the various
methods that are so often resorted to
in the hope of coaxing sleep, such. as
fixing the attention upon single sub
iect or upon any one object in the
room, counting, imagining waving
field, or the heaving sea, etc. 1t is not
easy to describe what is mainly a. neg
alive process, but, roughly speaking;
| try what l call to unthink. | shut
out, as it were, any image or thought
that obtrudes upon the Darkness of
the mind, and keep before me only
the consciousness that all is blank and
dark In my case this expedient works
well, and perhaps it may also benefit
others. Whether it has the merit of
objective originality do not know"

was in Kansas, not in the interest
of those by whom he was hired
the tax payers-but in the interest
of one George Medley. Knowing
this to be true it is trife DISGUSTING
to read these letters which seem to
come periodically. We wonder,
since this congressman is so "abso-
lutely fair" why he doesn't send
some letters to the people, telling
them how much money he has drawn
for time spent in Kansas in his own
interests.
Talk about clever political stunts,
Medley certainly pulled one off last
week when he sent those letters to
the German farmers with a German
slogan attached. Now Medley must
keep in mind that German farmers
as class are honest and just as apt
at detecting schemes as other folk
and it is a safe bet that they will get
wise to his little game, long before

aribino tho Idols.

From J. L. Keeler comes an inter-
esting account of the missionary hos
cital work at Ch'angli. in the province
of Chilli, North China, in its ninth
year. One case mentioned is that of
young magistrate who was recently
brought in a chair to the hospital with
a badly, swollen face The left half of
the lower jawbone had been destroyed
by an abscess and his whole system
poisoned. His arms and legs were
dropsical and for three months his
only relief from pain had been afford
ed by opium. After consulting native
doctors in vain, he had burned incense
and made offerings at various temples
and shrines. To one idol he vainly Of
fered as inducement to cure him the
erection of a tablet extolling his heal
ing powers. At another temple he
hired theatrical company to perform
religious acts. At last he went to
Ch'angli, where a cure was affected.
Thoroughly convinced of the useless
ness of idols and priests, he turned
away from paganism and joined the
church.-Christia Herald.

St. PauI,s Appearance.

All that we know of Paul's personal
appearance. from his own writings, is
found in II. Corinthians 1910, which
indicates that he did not possess the
advantage of a distinguished or i'm
posing presence. His sight weak (see
Acts 1856. and Galatians 4;15) nor
did he regard his address az impress
sive. Much Of this personal criticism.
however, may have been the outcome
of the apostles desire to avoid mag
nifying himself or his own talents. A
fourth century tablet represents him
as venerable looking and dignifled.
with a high, bald forehead, full-beard-
ed, and with features indicating force
of character.

SCOTTISH SENSE OF HUMoR
British Prime Minister Tells Good
Story Credited to the Late Henry
CampbelI-Bannerman.

Mr.. Asquith, while unwilling mon
ument to his political predecessor
Sir Henry Campbell-B in
Stirling the other day noted that
There is still an ignorant supersti-
ton upon the other side of the Dor
der about the existence, or, at any
rate, about the limitation of what is
called Scottish humor. (Laughter)
"Of that superstition if and so far
as it still survives, Campbell-Banner-
man was in his day the best standing
REPUTATION, for not only was his humor
undeniable, but when he was most hui
morous he was most Scotsman. II
the sense of humor consists, as some
people think it does, in a vivid per
ception of incongruities, few men of
our time have been so well endowed
with it.
"Your chairman (Sir John Graham)
told me last night little story which
I will steal from him and which,
think, is very good illustration OF
what i mean. Sir John told me that
on the occasion Of one Of Sir Henry's
elections here he was met in the street
by a voter who said to him: Sir
Henry. I like you very much, but |
would rather vote for the devil. Sir
Henry at once replied without turning
a hair: AS your friend is not a can
didate. you might just as well vote
for me-"

The response of the people in
helping to get ready for the open
air meetings has been gratifying to
the pastor, and we have the best ar
rangement that we have had for
some time. The cost will not ex-
coed $50. 90 and it will be a perma-
nent thing.
Through the kindness of Mr..
Phelps in loaning his benches we
were saved the expense of making
benches for the seating.
Quite large audience greeted US
on the opening evening. Several
automobiles took their places and
made quite nice showing. This
way of going to church is a new
thing to some people and you could
hear May remarks that it was an
ideal way of'holdIng services in the
summer season. Men who are tired
by the weeks toll can drive up to
the church and remain in their con-
veyance and enjoy the service with
out going into a heated building.
1t is not only a comfortable place
to go but you will have an opportun-
ity to hear and see some of the best
things that are to be seen and
herd. We have closed a contract
for an illustrated lecture to be given
soon. Watch this column for the
