I "Well, you can j put it that way if V0U Want to ; what I'm after is some thing that will make me sleep instead oi king awake, and will keep me from Jreaniing that I'm awake." "You're [going too fast," said the doctor. "Inj the. first place bow do you know, that you need to sleep any more than yougdo ?C Lots of people sleep too muoh for their own good." "I've been accustomed to my seven straight hours all my life, and I don't know why I should cut down the al lowance now. ' "Some people," retorted the doctor, "come in/here and say they've been accustomed to their three square meals a day all their li Ves, and they don't .iee why they should have dyspepsia, now. There are a lot of possible dan gers about too much Bleep in the way cf causing certain ailments to say nothing of the wear and tear of the nerves brought about by trying to force yourself .tojsleep'more than your ?stare says, just becauoc you've heard that the normal mah spends a third of his life in bed. Why, don't yon know that the higher the intellectual rank, the less sleep a man requires ? Goethe and Humboldt got along with two or three hourn of sleep a day. Napoleon needed only four or five hours, and Kant scolded his pupils for exceeding that limit. Now, you're intellectual." 'And a victim of insomia," added the patient. "I OJCC saw a Chinaman I admired;" continued the doctor. "He was wait ing for a train at a station consisting of a platform set down in the middle of nowhere out west. We intellectual Caucasians fretted and fumed, but my Celestial friend merely sat down on one side of the edge of a barrel, rested his feet against the other edge-an un comfortable position ,1 y ou will observe -laid his arms on his knees and his head on his arms, and went off to sleep as sweetly na a ohild up there on his perch. It's a faculty that civilisation deprives us of, that of going to sleep at any time and in any place. "The Papuana fall asleep when they've nothing else to do. So do all savages. So do dogs." "Dugs can fbi! asleep s-, any moment during the day," interrupted the pa tient, "because they stay awake all night barking, as you'd know if you had ever tried ito keep one in a bouse in the country." "When you're growing old," con tined the doctor, "you may know that iatel?cet*|is . ali . right end y^-tr Is powers are unimpaired so long as you fey awake ; it's only when you feel a constant need of sleep that the dacey mmn nie mental faculfciea has sot in." H "Then maybe I'm growing young," Htti? the patieisk ' "I need to taie a i g up after dinner, eid now I don't ewen \ & that-" *A good' thing for yon/1 said the i ioetor.

After haviug mado all arrangements for hilling himself, he was so overcome by drowsiness that he fell asleep, and soon was snoring. In the same way Caton, when about to make away with himself, was over come by sleep, and once tho limpcror Augustus, when engaged in a naval battle, could hardly keep himsolf awake long enough to give orders." "All that is very interesting," said the patient, "but what bas ali that to do with my case ?" "Everything in the world," answer ed the doctor. "Xi we only knew what sleep was, I might do something for you that would remedy the evil in a direct manner ; but unfortunately we don't. We're not even sure that we're any where near knowing ; but we think we are. Do you know what the latest theory of sleep is ? Of course you don't. It's only about two years old, and it isn't yet in a condition for popular consumption. It is too com plicated for me to explain to you ; j there are too many technicalities and provisional hypotheses and other in volved tilings about it. But thc gen eral idea of it is simple enough. You know there are such things as nerve cells, don't you ? Well, we used to suppose that they were continuous and formed a permanent line of communi cation ifcr ideas to pass-over. Now we find, or at least we think we find, that they are only contiguous ; that they connect one with another by means of prolongations. Sometimes they con tract and draw in their prolongations, and then they are as much shut off and isolated as a medioeval baron used to be iu his castle when he raised the drawbridge, or as two cities are nowa days when a blizzard comes along and blows down the telegraph wires. That is sleep. Sometimes a few of the nerve cells remain connected and ex change ideas ; that is what dreams are. When you're awake they're all connected, and as you go to sleep they contract and shut off the current. Pretty theory,. isn't it ? Wei!, in your ease, say, something's wrong that prevents the cells, or some of them, from contracting and keeps them excited. So the thing to do is to try to soothe them, and that's what I've been trying to do. Don't worry about going to sleep, and maybe in time the balky .cells will get calmed down and will contract and then you'll get all the sleep you're entitled to. Try. shooting them. And I suppose you expect me to give you a prescrip tion besides all this good advice and wisdom ?" "I believe it's customary," said the patient. Tell How to Blake Good Tea.

Thia commission reported that about 60 per cent of the teas consumed in North America waa of Japanese growth, but that a great majority of the American people did ?ot seemingly understand how to make 50pd tea. The government immediately made an appropriation-of $420,000 to the Japan Tea Traders' Association oi Tokio, a corporation under the regu lations of the Agricultural aad Com mercial department df the Imperial Japanese Government, to be expended in the United States and Canada iv advertising the merits of Japanese teas and in giving publicity to thc rathorised government recipe for ob taining the best results in preparing tea for drinking. - Here is tho Japanese recipe foi naking perfect tea, issued by thc government of Japan : First-Use a small, dry, and thor >Ughly sweet teapot.

They calcu late that thc earth will then pass again through the center of an im mense swarm of meteoroids, as they are called, before combustion. These great "Leonide star showers." as they are called, occur at intervals of every years and one day. The great shower of 170!? occurred on November 1 !, and, consequently a repetition ol' the next wonderful phenomena is ex perted on the morning of November 15, 1890. In the meanwhile, however, as the aggregation of meteoroids is of im mense length, one end of it will en counter tho earth in 1898 and the other in 11100, making, Professor j Lewis Swift, thc distinguished as tronomer of Rochester, N. Y., says, j considerable showers in those years also. Not only this, but it is stated on the same authority, that many forerunners of the great shower may be expected to como within tho earth's atmosphere on Novembor 14,1897, be cause many of thc meteoroids are al ways considerably in advance of thc main cluster. Professor Swift says: "The thickness of the mcteoroidal stream is 100,000 miles, and the dura tion of the shower is equal to thc time of the diagonal passage of the earth through it, usually from midnight to dawn." He adds: "As there is a light shower of Leonoids every No vember, we know that there is a vast ring formed by the comet's tail, and that the immense shoal in one portion is the produot of the exploded comet itself, and through which we pass onoe evory 33 yer.rs and a day." The meteoroids are dark bodies, and it's only when they pass into tho earth's atmosphere that they are ig nited by friction and become visible for a few seconds. The stream makes a revolution around tho sun in about 331 years, and by consequence tho earth passes through it in a new place every year. The length of the swarm is so enormous that although it moves at thc rate of nearly 25 miles a second, yet it takes it two years to pass thc earth, so that when its hinder part is still with us its advancing, side will have reached tho orbits of Jupiter and Saturn. Notwithstanding this extent it is but a fraction of thc entire orbit. Professor Swift says: "This great cluster will reach the earth's orbit about Jone!, 1899, but the earth will not have arrived there then, but will be due nearly six months later, when our planet will plunge into the swarm ing mass, and for at least five years we shall experience a little rain of fire."-Baltimore Sun. - The Kentucky State Horse Swap pers' Convention met i?
