IIIccto of Cure."
Iimmnula ii n widespread Amptlomi
ilinouHC. It allliots tlio bent brniim of thin
con u try lawyer, teacher nnil other
profoOTionnU and especially men of
affair whom niitifln are overtaxed with
amnltitmta of harnwiltig, inaesfmnt bni
nes dctnilx. It Is rntiftrd by an nndno
distension of tho arteriea Riipplyiug tha
red blood to the brain, resulting lu on
relieved preHHure ou the nerve rail of
the gray matter, eventuating in pro
longed wakefulness during the liight,
at a time when they ahonld be allowed
to remain quiescent and recuperate the
tissue wasted during the active hour
of the day Shnkeppcare poetically says,
" 'Tia aleep knits up tha raveled sleeve
of cure. " This Is ulso truo scientifically
and physiologically It is capable of
being expanded into a whole treatise.
With the lightninglike glunoeof genius
he saw into the very structure of nerve
tissue, the causa of its wear and tear
and the remedy
Dr. Samuel Johnson in his ponderous
dictionary defined a "net" to be "an
Interwoven decussated tissue of mesh
es. " Each cell in the brain has this
character Magnified several hundred
diameters it would resemble the net
work covering a small balloon. In the
morning, after a refreshing night's rest,
each cell is expanded, alert with life,
and has tho faint pink glow of health.
At evening, after a long day's work
over some exhausting mental occupa
tion, this cell is flaccid and collapsed, a
portion of its substance gone, and it is
unfit for farther immediate work.
A night's natural sleep repairs the
waste, the life giving blood in gentle,
regular pulsations flows by and the
proper elenieut is taken out of each
globule and incorporated into the struc
ture of the nerve cell, so that on awuk
eniug It is agaiu restored, alert and
ready to receive and send out messages
and do its proper work. Bleep has knit
together again the meshes raveled out
by care. The action of 1,000,000 of
these cells packed together in the brain,
like Lcyden Jars in a battery, is analo
gous to electricity, but not at all identi
cal with it
One has sometimes in the country
noticed a loue forest lightning struck
tree slowly decaying as the seasous roll
by in the alternations of rain and frost
and wind. First the small twigs become
brittle, break off and fall, then larger
branches and limbs and finally the many
thousand subdivisions are reduced to
bout three large stumps supported by
the blasted trunk with the rotten bark
slinging to It. As ago creeps slowly on
the animal body the small ramifications
of blood vessels in the faoe, for iustauoe,
Wither and die and then larger vessels,
leaving pits called "wrinkles." The
same thing happeus in the luterior of
the brain, but this is invisible on the sur
face. Instead of muuy fine subdivisions
of arteries reaching every part of the
structure and thus irrigating it with
the red life giving fluid these dry np,
re absorbed and larger ones and fewer
in nambes result Into these tho blood
has a tendency to pour at night during
sleep, on slight provocation resultiug
in undue distension and engorgement,
and consequent wakefulness, thus pro
ducing the well known disease "insom
nia," whioh, if prolonged, results in
brain wreck and insauity
Let the sufferer look to the health of
his whole body by outdoor exercise,
open air and regular diet, amend and
correct the general health or nse touio
baths at the proper time of the day be
fore retiring or on rising. Taking
light repast before going to bed so as
to draw a surplus of blood from the
brain and elevuting the hoad on pillows
so as to allow gruvitatlon to assist in
draining the blood from the brain are
good.
Periodicity is of great assistance Go
ing to bed at exactly the same hour
very night, the Arm and strong belief
in the fuct that you will sleep at that
hour, the diversion of the mind just be
fore retiring by some light reading,
amusement, work or exercise will help.
Refuse, if possible, to discuss or dwell
upon mournful, irritating or unfortu
nate personal topics or afflictions. Should
the sufferer suddenly awake in the night
before the allotted hours for repose have
passed, his best plan ia not to lie awake
In bed in the dark staring vacantly.
The oversensitive mind conjures' many
gloomy thoughts at this time in the
deep, still darkness of the night, when
ail outside day sounds and noises have
ceased their distraction. These cases
can be successfully treated at home,
and not by drugs. Have night table
handy, light a candle, arise, throw off
and air the bed clothes, sit up, with a
convenient wrapper around you, in an
iasy chair, having first thrown open
door or window to eompletely change
the vitiated air of the room. Of course
one must have chamber to himself to
do this. All the conditions extnruul be
ing changed will tend to produce a
change of those internal of the body
the brain and the nerves. After suit,
able interval one can again close the
doors and windows, replace covers and
retire to approaching slumber.
This was the mothod of Benjamin
Franklin, who had a large, active brain,
filled with multitudinous private and'
public affairs, during a long and active
life, aud he found it to succeed. (See his
utobtography. ) Different remedies will
suit different constitutions. Tho same
will net do for all alike. Eaob person
. must study his own case, the moral aud
physical caases, remove these and find
oct what will beat soothe his exhausted
nerve and induoe' peaceful repose.

MONEY MAKING IN TACOMA.
the CUf of Dtiitlny One Coined II Dm
Cash.
Taooma once had a mint that coined
11 of the money in circulation where
the (Jity of Destiny now stands, and it
Aid not require the fiat of Uncle Bam,
the silver of Idaho or the gold o! Cali
fornia to make the pieces from Tnroms's
mint pass current among the Indians
lud the few hardy pioneers who were
Mazing the path of civilisation throngh
the forest on the shores of Uotnnionoe
uient bay, says the Taooma Ledger.
Back In the early seventies the Taoo
ma Still company, not being able to
handily secure gold and silver for use
in trading with and paying off the In
dian laborers and early settlers, hit
upon the novel plan of issuing its own
currency, and to this end set its black
smith to work to fashion for it out
of scraps of Iron and brass pieces of
money, or, rather, tokens, which conld
be nsed us a circulating medium. Tho
pieces consisted of 40 cent and 4!t cent
iron tokens and brass f I pieces. The 40
rent pieces were about an inch in diam
eter and the 45 cent pieces were about
the size of the present silver half dollar.
The ft pieces were oval In shape, nhout
IH inches long, an inch wide and a
sixteenth of an inch in thickness. These
pic es were stamped with the figures
showing their value, and readily passed
onrrent all over the conntry tributary to
the mill. Nearly all of this old "mill"
coin has passed away, bnt a few days
ago William Hanson of thaTaroma Mill
company presented a set of these queer
coins to the Ferry museum. In his let
ter to the museum he said :
"The honesty of the people and the
absence of any blacksmith shop save
that of the company mado the nse of
this money possible."
Oregon has long boasted that the
"Beaver" coin, minted at Oregon City
in the early fifties, was the only money
minted in the northwest in the days of
the pioneer, but hero in Tacoina, long
years after Oregon's "Beaver" mint
had become a historical Incident, was n
primitive mint that supplied the coin
to furnish the pioneers and Indians with
all of the necessities for their rough
lives The coins, which are still pre
served, are roughly made, just such as
any blacksmith with ordinary tools
might make, and as a matter of fact
during the early years of the mill com
pany's existence formed practically tho
local circulating medium of exchange.
When the Indians who were employed
in the mill were paid for their labor,
this coin sufficed, as all the trading
they did was with the little store run lu
connection with the mill. The iron and
brass pieces were, of course, passed
among the Indians in trading with each
other, and as anything in the way of
supplies was purchased by them at the
mill store the pieces were fully as good
to them as if they had borne the stamp
of the government
Ctians;os la Cara Dwelling Animals.
"The influence of environment upon
organisms is nowhere more striking,"
says Science, "than in the case of ani
mals which find themselves acciden
tally lost In oaves and which succeed lu
accustoming themselves to the situa
tion lu spite of its difficulties. M. Ar
mund Vire gives some notes on his ob
servations in the Comptes Rendns. The
principal difference in the situation
consists in the absence of light aud in
the rarity of animal prey. The eye al
ways becomes atrophied to a degree
which varies with (be species and also
with the individual. There is some
times a difference between the two eyes
of a single individual. The eyes are to
certain extent replaced by other or
gans of sense; the antennas of the
oampode become, in some individuals,
twice as long as usual, aud sometimes
longer than the entire body. The tactile
hairs with whioh the body is covered
obtain an exaggerated development, and
in the crustaoeans sometimes even In
vade the ocular globe. Hearing does not
seem to be accentuated, but the sense of
smell Is very acute, and a bit of tainted
flesh becomes Invaded in a very few
minutes with a large colony of animals.
The organs of digestion beoome very
considerably modified in those spooies
which are naturally carnivorous, and
in two staphylina the mandibles were
found to be completely atrophied. Every
animal ia more or less completely de
pigmented, but those which had no
trace of oolor remaining began to have
numerous little black spots dissemiuated
over the whole body after they had
been kept for mouth in the light, and
these spots were particularly abundant
In those part (antenna) and claws)
whioh had been accidentally lost and
were in course of restoration. "
Bis Last Meal.
Every day some fresh sonroa of food
supply ia discovered, say The Stamp
Collector. Adhesive stamps have not
hitherto been regarded a nutritious.
The oatrioh prefers gold watobea for a
steady diet, and the traveling tinker's
donkey baa reputation for consuming
any clean linen that may be bandy.
A Hindoo paper, however, gives an
account of a curious incident that oo
turred at the residency in remote dis
trict in Ceylon a little while ago. Mr.
Pieris, the office assistant, placed on
bis table some Judioial stamps to the
value of about 800 rupees. While his
attention was drawn to something else
his pet goat was slowly but surely mak
ing a meal of the stamps. This was not
discovered until the goat bad swal
lowed soma 60 rupees' worth of stamps.
Immediately the goat's life was de
manded aa peualty, and the stumps,
afterward taken from its stomach, were
forwarded to tha commissioner.
Leper and tha Law,
The Norman-English laws enacted
that a leper bad ueither power to sue
In any court nor to inherit property.
During bis lifetime he was permitted
to enjoy the usufruot of any property in
bis possession at the time he was ' 'found
tuilty," so to speak, of leprosy, bnt all
lights of disposition over it he lost.
