All recog- size the miceesily of sleep and know that It Is the sovereign Teluedy for fa. Ugue--"Ilred Wed, restorer.” Tills fad, has led to the theory Mt elven Ls Induced by the poisons which are known to be formed and passed into the blood steam during wearying estei'. cise of Mind or body. The theory is that these poisons benumb the nerve - centre controlling the etheulation 111 Lhe brain, with a cousequeill reduction in the 14(eeer supply; this "anemia" of the brain produces unconsciousness, or sleep, dur- ing which the activities of body and rind aro repressed, the formation c1 "fatigue polsone" is arrested, and those already formed end circulating in the blood are eliminated, When this has taken place the purl. fled blood again nourishes and Minn- letes the circulation centre, an increas• 01 volume of blood flows th the brain, and the subject % awakes, renewed in spirit and flesh, and ready for the labors of the day. This explanation. Is only a theoretical ene, but It is plausible. Whatever may produce It and whether it is a cause fir 02' accompaniment, WO know that a les- sened blood supply in the brain is as_ isociated with healthy sleep, and that cerebral excitement and congestion must be overcome before normal sleep con take place. The relation of the circulation to sleep is seen in the alternate drowsiness and insomnia of the very aged. While sit- ting up they are drowsy and cannot keep their eyes open, but the minute they Ile down the power to sleep for- sakes them. Tilts is probably due to the fact ihat the arteries have lost their tone. While the subject sits up the blood sinks may from the brain be- cause the weakened heart is unable to overcome the pull of gravity; but when he lies down the blood trickles into the vessels of the brain and the smaller arteries aro passively dilated by its pres- sure. Of course the process it not quite so purely mechanical as this, for no one could live with such flabby arteries, but the force of gravity does act in a mea- sure. The treatment of this form of insom- nia of the aged is not in the giving of hypnolics'but of something that will tone up the blood -vessels such as a cup of hot beef tea, of eta too strong lea, or even of weak coffee—a paradox, since these things aro usually supposed to be Inimical to sleep.—Youth's Com- panion. WHY WE'RE WEAK IN WINTER. An eminent professor declares that luck of sunlight in winter is largely re- sponsible for the amount of illness so prevalent at that time of the year. His investigations have led him to declare that those people who live on the ,sun- ny side of the hills and valleys are far superLer in. intelligence, mental vigor, health. and prosperity to those whose homes are in the shadow. We cannot have too much sunshine. IL is essential to health, vitality, and, therefore, to prosperity. Many a weak, sickly worker would become stronger, mentally and physically, by merely gel. ling into the sunshine. We see in every lerge city poor little human plants try - Ing to struggle to manhood and woman- hood living in dark, unwholesome tene- ments which have never been warmed by the sun's rays. The light and warmth of the sun de- velops strength, . energy, ambition and courage. A mania' natural powers are more than doubled by contact with sun and air . If we want to be strong, men- tally and physically at our best, we must have plenty of sunshine. LATERAL CURVATURE. This is usually brought about 1 y faulty positions in standing, setting, etc., or by a young glri carrying a heavy My about. The first thing to attract attention is that ono shoulder appears to grow out behind, or 'to be higher than its fellow. There may be little or no pain, while the deformity is very mark - cd. The prevention of this trouble is evident. Correct positions of the body must be enforced, and one side of the body must not, be overstrained muscu- larly. BROKEN BONES. Now -a -days a broken bone is not al- ways put up directly' into a splint and kept immovable until It has healed. Many fractures -1. e., bone breaks— have damaged or -involved joints, and lu the ease of the elbow, wrist, acid ankle there would soon be en incurable stiffness if the splints were kept on un- til the bones were guile united again, So ihat, 11 1110 case be suitable, the surgeon now -a -days removes the splints, end, having bathed the limb, gently rubs and moves the joint foy a minute or hvo, Union of the bone and the use of the limb are In that way hastened at the same Lime.

Like nil precious metals and stones, the unit of weight usually -employed in regard to diamonds Is the cnrat, of which 151Mgo to make up a single ounce. To think of sacks of diamonds by the ton staggers the imagination; Indeed, the average annual output of the Kiln- berley mines is not, more than half a ton all teld, says the Pall Mall Gazette. Statistics have been published recently at Cape Town piing the output for sev- eral years past of the Kimberley mines and the river diggings. These yielded in the Vireo years 1003-05 nearly 7,250,000 corals, sat a ton and a half. The mone- tary value of these diamonds was X14,- 4:10,000. Since the first diamond was discovered by the banks of the Vaal in 1067 down to the end of 1006 it is esti- mated thaL the total weight of diamonds extracted from the Griqualand mines is over thirteen and a half tons, of a market value of Tully £95,000,000. If statistIcs of this sort can bo trusted ..and in the case of the South African yield they closely approximate to the facts—only seventeen tons of diamonds had been mined all over the world to the end of 1001. With the same relative out- put since that, year from Brazil and India the world's output of diamonds is now more than twenty tons. The figure seems small, considering the ages diamonds have been welted in india and elsewhere in the East, and must, be largely guesswork with respect to the output in antiquity. It is, how- ever, certain that more diamonds have been placed on the market in the last forty than in the previous thousand years. TESTED WITH DROPS OF WATER. Number Thee a Sceptical Slluelent in Paris Could Stand. A drop of 'water, even three or four drops, falling on the head seems a thing unworthy of attention; nevertheless In China a slow and continuous dropping of water on the head has been found to be a method of torture under which the most hardened criminal abjectly howls for mercy. ,When e. professor in .the Sorbonne slated thie to his .ctss the other day, says the London Chronicle, one of the students laughed increduouslYe, and said it would take a good deal of tliat eort, of thing to affect him. The professor assured him that even one quart of water dropped slowly onto his hand would be beyond his endur- ance. He agreed to experiment. A quart, measure filled with water was brought in, a microscopic hole was bored into the bottom and the perforns- ance began, the professor counting. During the flost 'hundred drops the stu- dent made airy remarks. With the sec- ond hundred he began to look less cheer- ful, then gradually all his talk died away, and his face 011 a thetInaggualirid, tortured expression, vv hundred the hand ,began..to swell and look red. The pain increased to tor. ture. Finally the skin broke. At the four hundred- and twentieth drop the sceptic acknowledged his doubts ventshed and begged for.mercy. He could bear no more.
