Great COMO Rubber Fore sts

The great rubber forest of MBon-
ga, in the Congo country, thousands of
square miles in extent, is really COM
posed of two forests joined by an 18TH
mus of wood. In the forest lies the
Belgian fort of M'Bassa. The fort is
not used today as a fort (or was not
when H. De We're Stacpoole wrote his
book, THE Pools of Silence" in 1910)
only as a collecting place for rubber.
Mr. Stacpoole says: SIN the early
days it was very necessary entrench-
ment for the Belgians, as tribe al
most as warlike as the Zappo ZapS
terrorized the districts; but the peo-
pie of this tribe have long been

and their savagery has, like keen
tool, been turned to good advantage

PLEASURES OF YOUNG CHINA
Children Have Many Amusements
Which Are Unknown to Young
sters of Other Countries,

The children of the Chinese village

servants and young relatives to amuse
them indoors or without, as the wealth
er permitted writes NJ. T. F., in Asia
Magazine. They were literally sup
piled by their indulgent grandmother
with pocket money in the form of
handfuls of cOppers, instead of the
strings of cash that sufficed an earlier
generation. From passing vendors
they bought bows and arrows of
brightly painted bamboo, whistling
birds and theatrical figures of cOlored
earthenware, inflated rubber toys and
an endless variety of rice flour cakes,
sesame seed corrections, peanut taffy
and millet candy. On festal days the
choice was wider than ever with
fluffy lunches of sugar wool Zine

blown from molten taffy with all the
glass blowers art, in the form of Ian
terms birds. and fish mounted on slen-
der sticks. At early seasons there
were huge fish made of bamboo
frames, paper covered and realistical-
ly painted, which swan in a breeze
with lazy grace. or kites similarly
fashioned to represent birds and
dragons which winged upward in fas-
cinating flight.

AN INSOMNIA CURE
SleepIeSS Victim Finally Finds
Remedy.
Simple Little Trick Brings sleep to
Man Who Counted Sheep
in Vain.

Insomnia is mainly due TO gas pres
sure on the nerve ccnters. You can
not get restful sleep until you get rid
of the gas. The gas is due to fermen-
taticn of food. This fermentation Is
caused by dtetetic errors--by eating
too much, or too quickly or too often,
or by eating indigestible food, or food
In wrong combinations.
However, here is another contribu-
tion to the library Of Insomnia cures.
It is from Peeps at People" by Rob-
ert Cortes Holiday:
For years | was great sufferer
from insomnia, At one time this dread
scourge had so fastened its terrible
fangs upon me that l could scarcely
walk. My body became one mass of
sleeplessness. l tried many remedies,
but without avail, and my friends had
all given me up for dead, when by
chance, from "A mere acquaintance, |
heard of this great cure, which /
would recommend to all who are af-
ficted as | was.
Il remember with horror the tor
lures I used to endure in agony, as
tossed to and fro on the hot pillow,
going over in my fevered mind inter-
minably the formulas of the sO-called
reliefs from this peerless disease. An
unconscionable number of times I num-
bered round of sheep over a stile.
/ counted up to 10, over and over
again and then up to 10 and then 20,
%, 80, so, only to craze myself with
the thought of the futility of this
lunacy. / heard my dollar watch tick
on the dresser until in madness arose
and placed it on the restraining pad of
a clothes brush. | heard the clock in
the next room relentlessly tell the pass
ing hours; heard a neighboring pub
lie clock follow it through the watches
of the night. l heard my happy neigh
Dor snore. heard the sound of rats
near by, and the creaking of floors,
and the voice of the wind. | tried
bathing my feet before going to bed.
tOXicating liquors. But always l stared
through the blackness of the fearful
night, until an eerie color tinged my
window, and then the dawn came up,
like thunder across the bay
ut was when my spirit had become
worn through my body like elbows
through the sleeves of an old coat that
! heard the remarkable recipe for in
somnia: Think of the top of your head.
That is what I was told to do, Think
of the top of your head said to my
self with some disdain, in the awful
grip of the night; now, how in thun-
der do you think of the top Of your
head?
"'Do you think of your harp l
asked, turning my eyeballs upward in
their sockets. Do you think of that
lightly hidden baldnessT striving to
put my hand, so to say, on the top of
my head. How the Dickens-can-you-
thinkof-' but a drowsy numbness
panied my sense as though of hemlock
| had drunk, or emptled some dull Opt
ate to the dregs One minute passed
and letherwards | had sunk. And |
dreamed that quite plainly, as though
1t were some other fellows, l saw
the top of my head"
1t is all very simple. The turning
up of the eyes induces sleep.

Pawnbroker's sian.

The Emperor Augustus Caesar, 81
b. c., instituted a fund for lending to
needy persons on pledge. The lnsti-
buttons, called MONT di Pieta," arose
at Perugia, IN Italy about 1862 \ ID.
The first pawnbrokers in England
were Italian Lomhards. and the three
balls still used as their insignia are
said TO have been derived from the
arms Of the Medici family, adopted,
according to legend. in memory of
Alyerardo de Medici. a commander un-
der CharIcmagne, who slew the giant,
Mugello, whose club he bore as a
trophy. This club or mace had nj its
head three iron balls, which the fam
ily Of Medici adopted as their device
