CURE FOR INSOMNIA.

A SWEDISH servant maid, finding that her mistress was troubled with sleeplessness, told her of a practice of the people in her country who were similarly affected. It was to take a napkin, dip it in ice-cold water, wring it slightly, and lay it across her eyes. The plan was followed, and it worked like a charm. The first night the lady slept four hours without waking, something she had not done before for several months. At the end of that time the napkin had become dry. By wetting it again she at once went to sleep, and it required considerable force to rouse her in the morning.—St. Louis Christian Advocate.
