No opiates, NECESSITY OF SLUMBER. Death by Sleeplessness a Chlneae Punishment. "A person absolutely without sleep for nine days will die," says a writer in Ainslee's. "Sufferers from insomnia sometimes maintain that they have gone for weeks without sleeping, but it has been proved that they do sleep without being aware of it. At a cer tain point sleep is inevitable, no mat ter what the bodily coudition, the al ternative being death, rris-oners have slept on the rack of the inquisition. And the Chinese found that o'uly the greatest ingenuity and vigilance could carry out a sentence of death by sleep lessness. This mode of capital punish ment was long in favor in China and is said to be so toda3 while as a form of torture deprivation of sleep is consid ered one of the most efiicacious weap ons in the Chiuese judicial arsenal. In some such cases the prisoner is kept in a cage too small to stand up or lie down In and constantly prodded with a sharp rod. Death by starvation, also a Chinese punitive method, is ;? slower process and therefore, one would think, more calculated to appeal to the oriental mind if it were not that death by sleeplessness is thought so much more painful. In the flat ter case the brain is the first affect ed of all the organs of the body, while in case of starvation the brain longest retains its normal weight and charac ter. "A corresponding mode of taming wild elephants is said to be depriving the animals of sleep when first caught. In a few days they become compara tively spiritless and harmless. The brain of the elephant is held to be more highly developed than that of any other wild animal, but of course as compared with a human brain can be easily fatigued by hew impressions and so made very depetsdent on sleep. The wild elephant in his native jungle, however. Is said to sleep very Jittli a further point for the theory of the uni versal ratio of sleep to Intelligence. A man taken out of his habitat and placed in conditions which lie never could havo Imagined if transported to Mars, say would doubtless need an extraordinary amount of sleep at first. There is the almost parallel case of a German boy. Casper Ilauser. who up to the age of eighteen was kept in one room where he had no intercourse with human beings or sight of any natural object, not even the sky. At eighteen he was brought to Nuremberg and abandoned in the street. For the first few months of Lis life among men he slept almost constantly and so soundly that It was very hard to wake him." ' The Sense of Feellns. S,ouu of our most important organs for instance, the heurt. the brain and the lungs are, strange to say. quite Insensible to touch, thus Rhowing that not only are nerves necessary fcr the sensation, bivt also the special end or gaim. The curious fact was noticed with the greatest astonishment by Harvey, who. while treating a 'patient for an abscecs that en used a large cavity in his side, found that when he put his fingers int the cavit? he c'oidi actually take hold of the heart Mrifhout the patient being in the least aware of what he was doing. This so interested Harvey that he brought King Charles I. to the man's berisjde Unit "he uiight himself behold and touch so extraor dinary a thing." In certain operations a piece of skin is removed from the forehead to the nose, and it is stated that the patient, oddly enough, feels as if the new nasal part were still in his forehead and m::y have a headache iu his nose. Chambers' Journal. In the Saute Situation. A funny story is told about a physi cian at Monroe City. A resident of the town set out shade trees for the doctor. A short time later the physi cian was called to attend the mother-in-law of the man who had set out the trees. The old lady died, and the phy sician presented his bill. After paying it. the citizen thought of the trees and made out and presented 'a bill for them. "But the trees died," protested the doctor. "So did my mother-in-law," retorted the other man. The doctor paid the bill. Kansas City Journal. Settling tlie "Tip" Qcentian.

Where It Comes From nud How It . Should Be Treated. The normal secretion of the orifice of the ear is the product of glands situated in the outer half of the canal only. This secretion the cerumen, or ear wax Is slowly poured from the gland ducts as a thin, yellowish liquid. As it quickly loses a large amount of its watery elements by evaporation and becomes admixed with dust it forms a thin layer, waxlike in color and consistency, which normally cov ers only the outer portion of the canal, that iij which the glands are located. This layer of material probably has its chief function, in common with the few small hairs in the same location, in protecting the vibratory membrane the drum from the contact, of dust. It is interesting to observe that the exit of this layer of wax is accom plished by nature chiefly with the aid of the motion communicated to the ear canal by the movement of the jaw in chewing and talking, a motion read ily felt by touching the orifice with the finger tip during these processes. The constant increase of the secretion Is therefore provided with a corre sponding loss, which takes place almost as imperceptibly as the constant loss of the superficial layer of the skin from the surface of the body. This explanation serves to make clear why the use of ear spoons, pins or hairpins is unnecessary. The use of such objects is not only superliu ous, but it is often the cause of the very coudition which those" who use them would prevent. Even too vigorous washing with 0 twisted cletb or sponge, for example, may result in pushing the wax back Into the canal until a mass sufficient to block the entire opening is accumu lated. The first intimation of the presence of Impacted wax is often the sudden occurrence of a considenabla degree oi deafness. This 13 most likely to hap pen on a damp day or just after or dur ing a bath. A slight amount of mois ture causes the mass to swell so that the narrow chink previously existing between the mass and the canal Is closed. If it ia not now removed, the mass may shrink and the hearing pow er be temporarily restored, only to be lost again when conditions arise caus ing an increase In the size of the ma-ss. Firm, gentle syringing with warm water freni a piston ear syringe Is usu ally regarded a3 the safest and best method of removing the mass, the handling of which had better be in trusted to a physician or trained nurse, If possible. Youth's Companion. THE COOKBOOK. In making any sauee put the flour and butter in together, and your sauce will not be lumpy. A heavy salad Is always out of place to a-n elaborate dinuer. Mayonnaise ia permissible, but French dressing Is better. If corned beef is very red. which means it 13 very salt, put it to cook in cold water. This draws out a portion of the salt. When croquette mixtures are too wi to mold and shape, put in more chop ped iiu-at or fish or in a desperate case finely pounded breadcrumbs. In making custard for lemon pies it Is better to partly bake the crust be fore adding the mixture so that it may not be absorbed by the paste. Gingerbread is Improved by adding to it, when mixing, a cupful of chop ped prunes. Use the juice of the prunes instead of water and mix tha douh a Uttle stiffer. Fried breakfast bacen is much Im proved if cooked in some of the bacon fat saved from the previous day. There should be just enough lor the bacon to float in, and it must be hot before tha rashers are added. Cook three min utes. "Stonewall" Jackson's Baptism. Robert B.

One of the remarkable features of country life in America is the singular persistence of the x-ail fence and the dugout cance. No matter how thickly settled a section may become or how long it may have been settled, these two survivors of early settlement linger on as stubborn!? as ever. Today in the thickest settled parts of New England and New York the rail fence is nut with, while the shad fishermen of the Potomac and James rivers and Chesa peake bay, on the banks of which the first English settlements in America were established, still manufacture and employ the old dugout canoe in making, the rounds of their shad nets. The dugout cance is the simplest and most primitive water craft known and was used by prehistoric man, both in this country, Europe and Asia. It is made out of a log of wood by trimming the outside down to the proper propor tions of a boat and by "digging out" the inside with an adz and by the aid of fire. The Potomac river dugout is to day pretty much the same as it was in the days of Powhatan and differs from the general run of dugout canoes in the absence of a curved bow and stern and in having rathtr high sides, which rise to a summit from either end of the boat, being highest In the middle, where the seat ia placed.

Water i3 the most precious thing la Palestine, and the laws which protect springs and wells are very severe. Most of the wells are artificial. Rich men at very great expense have chis eled basi?is and reservoirs out of the rocks to receive the Uow from springs, and in many places where no springs could be found they have drilled through the limestone a hundred feet and sometimes twice that distance to the artesian basin. None but very rich sheiks can afford such an expenditure. Nevertheleis, they have not only been the greatest benefactors of their fellow men, but those who have sunk wells and built fountains have erected monuments to their fame more enduring than palace. or temples or shafts of granite. The temple of Solomon has vanished forever, but the pools which he walled up with masonry and filled with water stili remain. The wells that Abraham and Jacob drilled In the rock as acts of piety as well as power are as im mortal as their names and will live for ever as long as men feel thirst. According to a just custom of the country, water rights could never be forfeited. No man who owned a well might refuse his ..neighbor water for his family or his flocks, but the lord of the spring was inviolate. No cred itor or enemy could take his water rights away from him. To injure or fill up a well was an unpardonable crime. When the Philistines threw earth and stones into the well of Abra ham, they intended to challenge him to a war of extermination. These cus toms and regulations remain today. Chicago Record-Herald. THE ARABS OF YEMEN. A Story Which Tiirown n Strong Llsht on Their Character. The Times cf India tells the follow ing story to show the character of the Aabs of Yemen. A man of Zaraniks who several times cut the telegraph lines and who was punished more than once was caught on one occasion by an Arab sheik in charge of the lines. The sheik intended to send him to Meedy for imprisonment, but the wife of the accused came in and stood as a guarantee for his future good behavior. The sheik accepted the ball and re leased him, but shortly afterward he again resorted to his old practice of cutting the wires and bolted away to another village at a distance of a day's march, where he had another wife. The sheik then sent for his first wife, who stood security for bins, and told her he would disgrace her among the Arabs if she failed to bring ia her hus band. The woman asked the sheik not to "spread the black sheet" (a custom of the country when any one commits a breach of trust) until the following day. She started that night taking a sharp dagger concealed under her clothes, to the village where her hus band was staying. She found him asleep in his abode and stabbed him. cut his throat and carried his bead back to her home. The next morning she went to the sheik and presented the head of her husband, savins: "nere Is your criminal, and I am freed from the baiL Please do not affix the black sheet" London Telegraph. High Temperature. Tommy had had pneumonia, so had been for come time In hospital, where they treated him so well that he was much averse to the prospect of being discharged as "cured." One day the doctor In charge was taking his temperature, and while Tommy had the thermometer lu his mouth the doctor moved on and hap pened to turn his back. Tommy saw his chance. He pulled the thermometer out of his mouth and pepped it into a cup of hot tea, replacing it at the fir6t sign of the medico turning. When that worthy examined the thermometer, he looked first at Tom my, then back to the thermometer and gasped: "Well, my man, you're not dead, but you ought to be!"

Reading in bed Is seriously advised, so the newspapers say. by a physician as conducive to "repair and resting, "relieving congestion," "emptying the veins overfilled by prolonged eyework," etc. It Is plain that placing the head back In a horizontal position so absolutely meets the whole problem of a relief of congestion by gravity and It is such a very Important probK-m that It n-euu strange that people with weak eyes do not habitually practice reading In a recumbent position perfectly comforta ble. Such advice, carried out with ab solute care as to light and the iosItlon of the book, would In the case of a thousand busy people add largely to the number of hours which reading could be indulged In without detriment to the ej-es or general health. Certainly the one who gives this strange and pernicious advice could never have trled the plan. Some years ego there was described a patented de vice for suspending the book over the horizontally placed head of a Kick per son whereby rt ading would be possible without holding the book In the bands. Even then one wonders how the light could be made to fall properly ou the page. Without a method of the kind not even a well person could hold book five minutes above the eyes. Reading In bed has ruined thousands of good eyes. Unless one sits up In bed as if in a chair it la impossible to hold the book In such a iosItlon that the arms are not quickly tired and so that the light falls on It properly. When reading lying down, there Is a traction upon the Inferior recti muscles which Is highly Injurious. Every patient should be warned never to read In bed except wheu sitting up as vertically as in a chair. American Medicine. STRONG PULSE BEATS. Case In Which They Are FercepObl to the Eye.

"I have met with one case which was possibly a little extraordinary in that It was plainer and much more dis tinct than any I had ever seen -before. It could almost be heard. The artery would rise to a point almost as larg as the ball of the little finger of a child and would change from the whlto of the skin to a blood purple with each beat of the pulse. 1 found it easy to count the pulse beats without touching the patient's wrist. 1 could see plainly en vagb to keep the reccrd. and in order not to err in my calculation I tested It in several ways and found It was cor rect and that there was no mistake in my counting with the naked eye." New Orleaus Times-Democrat Orijerln of the Rattlesnake Flair. One of the most common devices used on the American flags during the early part of the Revolutionary strug gle was an embroidered rattlesnake above or below the legend "Don't tread on me!" The origin of this design has been traced to a remark made by Ben Franklin. At the time the flag was adopted, or Immediately before, Eng land was shipping her criminals to America and turning them loose on the defenseless colonists. After sev eral murders had been committed by these unwelcome Immigrants Ben Franklin (some say In a joklug spiilt) sugKested that the colonists retaliate by sending a carjjo of rattlesnakes to the mother country and turning them out In the gardens of the nobles.
