Conan Doyle got Uls first Idea ot hie famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, t from au old professor of medicine at ‘ the Edinburgh university. This man would sit In the patients1 waiting-room with a face like a red Indian and dlag- nose the people as they came In, even before they had opened their mouths. He would tell them their symptoms and he would five them details of their lives. “Gentlemen,\ he would say to the students standing about,. “I am not quite certain whether this man is cork cutter or a slater. I observe slight callous or hardening on one side of his forefinger and a little thickening on the outside of his thumb. That Is a sure sign that he Is either one or the other.” < Hla deduction? were very dramatic. “Ah!\ he would say to another man, “you are a soldier, a noncommissioned officer, aud you have served lu Bermu da. Now, geutlemeu, how did 1 kuow thut? lie came luto the room without taklug off his hat, us he would go Into au orderly-room. He was a soldier, slightly authoritative air, comblued with his age, shown that he was a non commissioned. officer. A rash on his forehead tells me he was In Bermuda aud subject to a certain rash known only tkere.\-New Euglaud Magazine. To Overcome Insomnia. A prominent New York physician, himself a sufferer from Insomnia for many years, has discovered a braud- uew way of puttlug one's self to sleep almost luslauiaueously. It has worked well lu his owu ease aud never has failed lu the many trials he hae made upon hla patients. After taking a deep Inspiration the breath Is held until pos- Itlve dlsqpnfort it Telt. It Is then let geutly- out. The process Is repeated second and a third time, aud this Is as a rule sufficient to obtain sleep. The mind must be fixed upon the experi ment aud oue’s thoughts must uot be allowed to wander. Insomnia Is produced by two kinds of cerebral activity directly opposite In nature, a too active cerebral circulation aud au Insufficient cerebral circulation. The former cau easily be recognized from the throbbing and pulsating arter ies. The self asphyxiation of the pa (lent causes a flow of nervous blood to the brain aud uu Increase of the car bonic acid aud waste products of de composition. These products, carried to the brain by the blood, overwhelm Its centers and so produce sleep. Or. Johann Meuli-Illltz, a German physician, writes enthusiastically about the effect of sleeping with tbs head low as a means of obtaining ths most refreshing slumber, lie raises ths foot of the bed so that It forms an In clined plane. lie says that the sleep thus obtained Is more beneficial; that one awakens with a dearer head, a wider mental horizon. He asserts that the neck Increases In size, that the cen t r a l circulation Is Improved and ths Influence upon the lungs la *o great that It can lessen the tendency to con sumption. He recommends that the lowering of the head be done gradually, and says that Insomnia often Is caused by sleeping with the head too high.— New York Tress. In 1886-7 there were 2096 professors and Instructors at all the universities of Germany. In 1886-7 the number was 2494, an Increase ot 19 per cent in a decade.

WHAT THEY REALLY SAID. Stilted Rhetoric Did Not Come N a t ural to th e Soldiers. Deeds of valor and self-sacrifice In face of the enemy are uot always ac companied by rhetorical fireworks. During the Zulu war, after au engage ment In which the British troops were defeated by Cetewayo's black war riors, and were compelled to fly for their lives, au English oavalryman, whose scraggy little pony limped from au assagai slash, detached himself from the retreat and galloped back up on the charging Zulus. A glance over his shoulder had shown him a dismounted couirude, stumbling palufully along trying to Jain some cartridges Into Ids clogged revolver. When the trooper’s pony trotted up the Zulus were almost upon the two sol diers. Fortunately, however, they had discarded their spears, aud were mis handling captured carbines. Now, In a melodrama, or lu a realistic novel, the language of these two gal lant soldiers, one to the other, would have been noble, lofty and Inspiring. This Is what they really said: “Get out of this Bill, ye bloomin’ IJIt —the black beggars will skewer ye,” gasped the wounded man. “You climb up on this 'orse or I'll punch yer 'end off!\ was the reply of the other. “And It Is delightful,” says a writer In Collier's Weekly, “to be able to Bay that he did climb up, and they both es caped from the ‘black beggars,’ and that the trooper got the Victoria Cross,” i Big Hale of Monkey Wrenches. The buyer of the jobbing house listened to the young man’s convincing talk and examined the new monkey- wrench with care. He seemed Im pressed and asked the price per dozen gross. It was given to him, and he figured on a desk pad for a, while and then t^ked: \What kind of a price could you give u* tfw e took a hundred dozeu gross?” The young man came very near hav ing heart failure, but he figured for a few moments and made a price. Come hack tomorrow,” said the buyer. The salesman was elnted, for he felt sure that he would make a sale. Next day when he went back to the wholesale house the buyer said: \We have been figuring ai)d we believe we can handle this wrench to advantage. Of course, If we take hold of It we want the closest price you can make, and we will be willing ,to give you & big order. What Is the output of the factory?\ The salesman did not know. “You find out what your output for the next five years will be and make us price on tbe whole thing.\ The young man telegraphed his house and taeeited the Information. The buyer gave tbe Immense order and tbe salesman wired It to his bonse. In a few hours he received the following message from his employers: “Congratulations. Having sold out put for five yeurs, services no longer required.” Next day he was back In Chicago looking for another job.—Chicago Rec ord. At the P e a c e C o n ference.

They were delivered, moreover, at tbe earliest poo ilble moment, although the distance be tween the sender nud the receiver was, to many cases, only a tew miles. The story cf this long trip Is Interest ing. During the siege of Paris by the Germans In 1870, the postotllce mlm'.h- Istratlon hit npon the expedient, In ad dition to balloons, of Inclosing tbe let tfri'ln small zinc globes, water tight and hermetically sealed, and of drop ping them Into the Seine. There they floated—If they were not captured by the Germans—down the river to the French lines, where a net stretched across the river gathered them In, and they were sent on their way in Paris, Unfortunately for the French, the Germans discovered the character of these sine floats, and ns they could not hope to see and fish out by ordinary means all the letters that went down thus, they stretched across the river, at YlUeueuve-Sulut-Georgez, a net of their own, and effectually stopped this new system of postal communication. The zinc balls aud their use were pretty nearly forgotten, when, a short time ago, a fishermau found In the Seine, near Vtlleneuve, a queer-looking globe of zinc. With a lurge knife he opened It to see what might be In It, and found 300 letters, still legible, and all dated In December, 1370. They were delivered to the postal authorities, aud after this long wait lu the river, went their way: but thetr news of the state of things lu the coiiutry was a lit tle stale.—Youth's Companion.
