A Swedish Bervant-maid, finding that her mistrees was troubled with sleeplessness, told ber of a practice of the people of her countrj who are similarly afflicted. It was to Uto a napkin, dip it in ice-cold wuter, wring it slightly, and lay it across her eyes. The plan was followed and it worked like a charm. The firßt night the lady slept four hours without awaking — sometbingi she had not done before for several months. At the end of that rime the napjtin had beponae^dry. By wetting it again she at once went to sleep, and it required considerable force to rouse ber in the morning.
