BRINGS "SANDMAN" IN HURR
A« Sleep-Inducer, Amateur Paycholo
gist Has a Scheme Far Superior
to Counting Sheep.
“Counting sheep” used to be the
great recipe for going to sleep. You
simply closed your eyes. Imagined a
rull fence with a gap in it and white,
woolly sheep Jumping through, one at
a time. You counted them carefully
as they came, and about the time you
got to about 290. why, off you dropjied
to slumherluud.
But the amateur psychologist suys
counting sheep is old-fashioned and
Impractical now. The trouble was, he
explains, the people used their Imagina
tions too much. Insteud of confining
themselves solely to the sheep, they
would imagine a whole pasture, with
trees and hills and a sky full of clouds
beyond, and their attention was so dif
fused keeping track of the landscape
that they couldn't keep their minds
concentrated on the sheep. Presently
they lost Interest and then old man In
somnia camped ou their trail for sev
eral hours.
The newer and more scientific meth
od for hypnotizing yourself to sleep,
says the amateur psychologist. Is to
find out your particular drowsy ob
session and concentrate.
“Whenever I feel a nervous, wakeful
night coining on," he suys, “I Imagine
myself in the interior of a vast, dim
cuthedrul. Only a single ray of light
filters in and It falls on the crossing
aisle. An endless procession of hooded
monks is moving slowly down this
aisle, and I count them as they pass
through the ray of light, one at u time.
My mind is wholly engrossed with this
slowly moving procession, and the in
ferior of the cuthedral Is so obscure
and dim that It does not distract me
at all. Sometimes I fancy I hear far
.off strains of a pipe orgoti. The sug
gestion of music speeds the sleep in
ducing process.
"I never have to count more than a
hundred monks before the sundmun
gets me.”
Chinese Fossil Teeth.
An Kuropean investigator has made
a singular collection of fossil teeth
from drug stores in various parts of
China, where they are sold under the
name of dragons’ teeth and are valued
for their supposed curative powers.
Upon examining them it was*found
by this Investigator that they are the
remains of many species of extinct
animals, such as the ancestral forms
of cuinels, saber-toothed tigers, three
toed horses and other creutureso’f
ancient times, some of which, like the
ancestral forms of camels and ante
lopes, were supposed to have had their
original home in America and In Afri
ca. Judging from the quantities ot
these teeth sold, the investigator thinks
they must exist in enormous numbers
in some parts of China.
Doom Century-Old Bridge.
The picturesque covered wooden
bridge, near Chester, Orange county.
New York, known for neurly u cen
tury as Brook’s bridge, has been con
demned by state highway engineers
and will be torn down to make way
for a steel and stone structure.
According to tradition, the “Stour
bridge Lion,” first locomotive built In
America, passed over Brook’s bridge
before it was assembled. The Stour
bridge made Its trial trip 91 years ago.
The first run was at Honesdale. a mile
from the bridge.
The structure has not a nail or
metal bolt In It. All the timbers are
hand hewn and pinned together with
wooden pegs, wheh have held tightly
throughout the years. It Is said to have
been completed in 1820.
Wood-Carving by Sand-Blast
A process of carving wood by special
application of the sand-blast, reported
in the Compressed Air Magazine (New
York), is said to be giving highly satis
factbr.v results In California, especial
ly when applied to the redwood of that
state. We read: "Portions of the sur
face are covered by protective sten
cils which leave figures In relief and a
uniform background. Very rich effects
are produced in paneling the walls of
a dining room, hall or den. While
much of the work Is done in the nat
ural color of the rich, reddish brown
wood, striking effects are brought out
by the use of paints, deep blues, reds,
browns and gilt."

A captain of an Atlantic liner was
bothered by a woman passenger who
was always inquiring about the pos
sibility of seeing a whale. A dozen
times a day she besought him to have
tier called if one hove in sight.
“But. madam," the captain asked
her rather impatiently, after long suf
fering in silence, “why are you so
eager to see a whale?”
“Captain." she answered “my de
sire in life is to see a whale blubber.
It must be very impressive to watch
such an enormous creature cry.”

In hospitals are many women who are there for surgical operations,and there
is nothing a woman dreads more than the thought of an operation, and the
long weary months of recovery and restoration to strength if it is successful.
It is very true that female troubles may through neglect reach a stage
where an operation is the only resource, but most of the commoner ailments
of women are not the surgical ones ; they are not caused by serious displace
ments, tumors or growths, although the symptoms may appear the same.
When disturbing ailments first appear take Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound to relieve the present distress and prevent more serious troubles,
in fact, many letters have been received from women who have been restored
to health by Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound after operations bavs
been advised by attending physicians.
