Mi A BRIEF MEDICAL LECTURE IN AN ELEVATED CAR. A rhyslciaa Discourses of Istomsls aal Its Causes, a ad Give &oi Good Ad vice Several Topalar Nstloas Kb,w to b Crroneoas. Two men were In an derated car on their way downtown to business. The man next to the reporter turned to his neighbor with the question; "Did you sleep any last nightT "No; did your" "I did, about three horn. When I woke up I felt more tired than when I lay down." "Yes, tt'a pretty hard tfctj g ummer for people who have to stay in the broilins city. But from all X hear, the folks In the country are notddfnz much better. My wife's. letters are fuller muAqultoes and sleeplessness. "Gentlemen, broke la a trvtu with gold rimmed spectacles, who looted the physician every Inch of him, and around the corners of whose bearded msuth a humorous smile had been flitting luring the dialogue, . "this talk, of sleeplewnesa proves how seldom people will tske a medical man's advice, or even ak Wr It. It's so simple to induce sleep, with very little trouble, that every man of Utelll gence can obtain it unless he be a very sick man Indeed. 1 Well, sir, rejoined the last spmker, "if you will gratify our curiosity tha; far, tell us your remedy." "As to mosquitoes my advice Is: Kill them before you go to bed. Sleep wbere there is a current of air and havs a rnus qulto netting around the bed, ut leave yourself plenty of breathing ipace. If suffering- much from the het, take a cooling bath before retiring. I And, how ever, that this talk of sleeplessneHs comes In nine cases out of ten from persons of an unduly nervous temperanrnt. They fidget about and imagine befosihand that they will not obtain sleep instead of com posing their minds to properly receive the soothing Influence, ; SEVERAL rorCLAR ERIDRS. 'If given at all to sleeplessness do not smoke in the evening, and do not eiclte yourself. Lie down with tha firm reso lution to sleep, aud sleep will come quite naturally, provided the body require it. There's the rub. A great nany people think liere Is a cast iron rult as to tha number of hours they ought to sleep. That's all wrong. Never try to sleep unless you feel Ured and notico that your system wanta ft. Four hours of sleep, under certain conditions, are more ben eficial to a man than the proierblal nine hours. I've had many cases fa my prac tice which have showa me Ihe folly of expecting so many hours of sleep night in and night out. "It's the same with sleep as with fucd. The appetite varies, and so des the Wre for sleep. Nature knows her business best, and when a man cannot sleep he very oftea ought not to sleep. A few weeks ago a well known business man came to me and wanted opiates to give him back his usual dose of sleep. I satisfied myself pretty soon that it wouVl bo only doing harm to comply with his request. There was nothing troubling Ws mind, and his health was good. He i-imply had the notion that he didn't get sleep enough, and had begun to worry about it. 1 gave hira a few simple rules to observe, and he sooa had once more all the sleep that was good lor him without using any poisonous nar cotics. "Judging from my experience, the need of sleep is very different in different per sons, even among those of like habits and equally good health. I know a very active business man, a patient of mine, who re quires out six hours' sleep, while another one needs all of eleven hours out of the twenty-four.'

A Great Hall of MagnetisiA. Most well informed people areiloubtlcs aware that the globe on which they live is a great bail or magnetism, bat compara- tively few have an adequate Idea' of the Influence thia property U continually ex erting on all sides, that many common but Inexplicable phenomena can be. tract-d. directly to this source. Statistics go to show that in the matter of steel rail, as many as thirteen will become crystallized and break where they go to make up a railroad track, running east and west be fore one of those on a north and south track Is similarly affected. This Is en tirely due to the magnetism generated by friction, and the fact that the polarity of the magnetic current Is in the former In stance resisted In the headlong rush of the train, whereas in the latter case it is un disturbed, t Another strange effect of this peculiar and occult force is that exerted on the watches of train men. A timepiece car ried by the conductor running a train twenty miles an hour, however accurate it may be, will, if the speed of the train is Increased to say fifty miles, became use less until regulated. The magnetism generated by the flfsrht of a train may be said to be In proportion to the speed with which it is propelled, and the delicate parts of a watch, cumbering all the way from 4U0 to 1,000 plecen, and peculiarly susceptible to this influence by reason of the hammering and polishing they have received, are not slow to feel the effect. Globe-Democrat, ; A Purchaser tVho Objected. In one of the big dry goods stores a few days ago I saw a man- refuse to take a bundle done up in a way to display the firm's "ad." When asked why he ob jected, he said: "I pay what they ask for their goods and do not intend to give them any advertising unless they pay me for it. I think it cheeky of a firm to expect a person to do so. Yep saw that clerk get angry at me because I made him undo the parcel and then wrap It up with the plain Fide out. Well, he is not the first one that has been so and he probably will not be the last.

Two years later I met Cetewayo, the Zxiln chlf f, in the garden, under British pn.'eitlon. Knowing the coWial secre tary, I obtained permission to visit his majty at the residence assigned to him by government a plain, sraatfly fur nished farm boose, fourteen miles from town, near a station called Wynbrrg.

Somehow I felt sorry for the brave old fellow, who could meet defeat so daunt lr&sly, anl I must have shown ft for be took my hand when the Interpreter told him that 1 was not of the nation of his conquerors, and gave It a rUht royal srinevre. I advised his majesty to present the queen and prince of Wales with a lot of ontrich feathers on his approaching visit tspring of 1WJ) to Kngland. bnt he gare but a mournful sralle, shook his head and iMilnted to his surrounding, a plainly furnished rt-im, a few wicker seats, a table and a colnwwil arm chair, the poor old fellow's throne, and moornfullv ex claimed, "This is all 1 have." I felt sorry 1 had mentioned the subject, and with an other hearty grip of the royal hand which 1 partially evaJed I took my departure for the day. Ill majesty expressed a de sire to see me 'again. THE MOXAUOt'a St VCX WIVE. A few weeks later I called to bid hla farewell, business demanding my return to Kimlierly. I had brought with me as aptrtlng gift, a do handsome New foundlander having learned that he had often csprevx-d a wuh for one. Cctewayo on this ocraion wore a nary blue suit of serge and a Zanzibar fex or cap made of camel's hair. I had to endure the shake again, but sufTervd gladly for the sake of witnesin V. rivllght to behold one who was not cf a pt;.!e he hated. His voice ran out In a volume of sound that caused a ttomidf In an adjoining room, and seven Merry, twinkling, mischievous pairs of bl tc 5c i jis l..kcd In to see what was the topic of Hsculin. Hut a royal roar mad im-m skip Kick to their own domin ion, their Lit black faces disappearing l;ke startled fawns at a Uns roar, one falling over the other in their hurry too-ey. I thotrjht his tu.ijctty was jealous of letting stran-.-rV eyes Whcld hi merry wive, for they were lightly attired -clad Zulu fashion in a coat f shining, not very aro matic oil. numerous anklets, bracelets and necklets ami gigantic earrings, all made of large white and blue brads. I did hfiu injustice. Five mluutes later he had seen nnd highly approved of the dog his delight was unbounded.

They w ere too near and the aroma was strong. The climax of kingly grati tude was reached when his sable majesty offered me the choice of one of the lot. To quote the interpreter's literal translation: Oh, stranger, you have gladdened the heart of the friendless king, and he loves you like a brother. In his own land be would i.iy: Mkhold here mine, the king's kr.:nl. Three hundred wives are there and 5.(J Lead of cattle. Take of my abun dat:c. for the king's brother is welcome to all.

Momentarily I was paralyzed. An other wife! Jerusalem I and a black one! Well. I tlianked his majesty fur the In tended howr, told him that "my seraglio was already overstocked; In my country four was the maximum a man of moder ate fortune could well manage to handle. Hownrer, I thanked him kindly. What the interpreter told him I never could as certain; suffice it to say that the whole royal crowd abandoned their dignity and laughed till tears started, and threa picka ninnies commenced to bawL Cetewayo wanted to shake hands and the youngest merry septuple wanted to hug me. I evaded both by producing another lot of confectloucry and calm was restored. Hut night was drawing nigh and I had to say gootlby.

I hare both, and shall never part with the gifts of my savage black friends.
