YES, SOME BANANAS.

CURE FOR INSOMNIA,

From Samoa. From Mr. S. T. Uren, formerly manager of the Bank of New Zealand, Matamata, and now of Samoa, comes a recipe for sleeplessness. This is what happened to a neighbour who followed it out and told the story i afterwards:— j ■ The next door boarder told me : bananas were good for insomnia, i “ Take three before you creep under - the blankets at night,” he said. I

did so, and went to sleep five minuf.t s later.

Then the butcher came along with his head under his arm, and asked me if 1 wanted to buy his feet. 1 was just paying him when the iu:\vk I was riding bucked me off, and 1 fell thousands of feet, landing on the buck of a bull, with five horns, which jumped over the Gap, and threw me into a shark’s mouth. I was ..urt getting a bite when the cor.dr cloy came along and asked for my fare. I asked him who was the Editor «;f the “ Daily Bludgeon,” and ho replied ‘ What did you see to-day?” Then he shut the tram car up and stuffed it in his pipe. I woke un then, and found I’d been asleep nearly three minutes. Yes, I’ll have no bananas to-night.
