SLEER ON-A COLD SMOKE.
Pnffingaa Empty Pipe Hxtid to Be an
Insomnia Cere.
After giving a fair and patient trial
to each of many alleged cures for
sleeplessness the writer stumbled across
a simple* method-of inducing somno
lence that has the merit of being harm
less and inexpensive. To smokers the
remedy involves no cost whatever, but
of nonsmokers the capital outlay of
the price of a pipe is required. It must
be a wooden pipe and curved, not
straight
Having retired for the night, the suf
ferer should lie perfectly fiat on his
back, discarding pillow rests, and puff
. steadily at an empty pipe until he feels
thoroughly drowsy. The desired result
usually is achieved- after from about
sixty to a hundred puffs have been
made. The puffing should be done
slowly, with a deep inhaling movement
The expelling motions 'must be made
deliberately with narrowed mouth.
During the entire operation the pipe
should not be removed, as each displac
ing and replacing movement tends to
wakefulness.
Those capable of great concentration
of thought should, if smokers, imagine
they see volumes of smoke, and those
who eschew the burning weed will be
helped by counting the puffs.
As sleep is often successfully wooed
while -yet the pipe is in the mouth,
"bowls of meerschaum or clay are not
, recommended, since these are liable to
be broken when the coming of slumber
allows the, pipe to slide from the
mouth. Nervous people may be reas
sured that there is no danger in falling
asleep with the stem edge of. a curved
; pipe caught between one's teeth. Sleep
always occasions the grip to be "re
moved. That may hold also of straight
pipes, but for other and obvious re?
k sons these are less suitable than those

: LONDON'S LORD MAYOR.
?
Bis Power as Well as the Area He
Rales la Limited.
The lord mayor of London is not the
all powerful official he is thought.to be
on the continent He is not the mayor
of all London, but only of the city of
^London, and the City is but a frac
tion of the whole. Greater London has,
roughly, a population of 6,000,000, but
in the 650 acres that comprise the City
there is a resident population at night
of only 38,000 and by day of little over
300,000. And even within this area the
powers of the, lord mayor and of the
twenty-six aldermen and the two hun
dred odd common councilors are by no
means autocratic.
Much of what used to lie within his
and their province has been taken over
by the London county council. In fact
the average Londoner never thinks of
the lord mayor as an edict making,
law giving official. He stands altogeth
er apart in the popular mind from ques
tions of rates and assessments, schools
and police. Very few people could say
what legislative functions, if any, he
fulfils. They may have heard that he
is the chief. magistrate of the courts,
but beyond that their knowledge of ..his
precise duties does not stray. It is the
social and decorative side of his posi
tion that impresses the public. The
lord mayor is never without his badge
and rarely without his robes and chains
of office. Ke rides abroad in a magnif
icently gilded coach, with powdered
coachmen and footmen in cocked hats'
and silk knee breeches, sending a gleam
of gold through the dirty drab of Lon
don.
The lord mayor's show on Nov. 9 is
one of England's few annual pageants
and, uncouth as it is, has a warm place
in the hearts of the populace, and, be
sides all this, he has some rights and
provileges of 400 years' standing. No
troops may pass the City boundaries
without his leave. The sovereign him
self has to ask permission to enter the
city walls, just as he has to ask for
permission to enter the house of com
mons.?Harper's Weekly.
Her Trick.
A cantankerous old farmer, who
liardly ever agreed with anything his
wife said to him, came home one wet
<Iay and, placing his back to the fire,
stood up to dry.
After some little time his wife turned
to him and said:
"John, you'd better watch yoursel' or
you'll burn your flannels."
To which John replied:
**l think Fli need to burn my tron
sers first."
*? '?'Indeed, John, you'll need to do naeth
ing of the kind. They're burnt al
ready."?London Tit-Bits.
& -
Improve.
It is a solemn duty devolving on all
to make the utmost possible cut of
themselves. Men seek the highest de
velopment of their Socks and herds
and grain aHd flowers. The result ir,
the improved flora and fauna of these
days over those of prior ones. But
should this evolution cease with the
lower order? Should the body of cre
ation improve and not the head, which
is man?
Saved by Fireflies.
The gigantic tropical lireflies which
swarm in the forests and canebrakes
o? most of the low lying West Indian
Elands once proved the salvation of the
?ity of Santo Domingo. A body of buc
caneers, headed by the notorious Thom
as Cavendish, had laid all their plans
for a descent upon the place, intending
to massacre the inhabitants ai3d carry
away all the treasure they convenient
ly could, and had actually put off their
boats for that purpose.
As they approached the land, how
ever, rowing with muffled oars, they
were greatly surprised to see an infi
nite number of moving lights in the
woods which fringed the bayou up
which they had to proceed, and, con
cluding that the Spauiards knew of
their appr<?ach. they put about and re
gained their ship without attempting
to land.
Mucilage Betrayed Him.
Some time ago a registered package
sent from the New York postoffice,
containing a large sum of money, was
received at its destination apparently
intact, but on being opened was found
to contain nothing but waste paper.
Suspicion could not be directed to any
one clerk of the many who had handled
it The inspector had often noticed
that the glue used at each postoffice
had an odor distinguishable from that
of any other. He investigated along
this line and was finally rewarded
when in an office near the destination
of the package he discovered an iden
tity of smell between the registered
package and a gluepot on the counter.
He caused a watch to be set upon the
clerks in the office in the usual way
and finally caught his man spending.a
portion of his ill gotten gains. w
Lighthouse Without a Light.
The most extraordinary of all British
lighthouses is to be found on Arnish
rock. Stornoway bay?a rock which is
separated from the island of Lewis by
a channel over 500 feet wide. On this
rock a conicai beacon is erected, and
on its summit a lantera is fixed, from
which, night after night, shines a light
vrhich is seen by the fishermen far and
wide. The way in which this light
Bouse is illuminated is this: On the
island of Lewis a lighthouse, and
from a window in the tower a stream
of light is projected on to a. mirror
in the lantern on the summit of Arnish
rock. The consequence is that, to" aii
intents and purposes, a lighthouse ex
ists which has neither lantern nor
lighthouse keeper.
One cf Mrs. Stanton's Retorts.
Once a fashionable woman of New
port expressed to Elizabeth Cady Stan
ton a fear that it was not entirely mod
est for a woman to speak in public.
The dignified president of the suffrag
ists looked at her with mild surprise.
"Why." she said, "there are not so
many people at our convention as there
were at the ball last night-and surely
it is more modest to make a sensible'
speech in quiet costume than to ex
hibit one's bare arms and shoulders at
a public dance in the embrace of a
strange gentleman." f
