The Science of Refreshing sleep.

The science OF Refreshing Sleep.
We always thought it funny process to
take off ones clothes and get into bed, on
the return Of each succeeding night. But
the habitude of life time scarcely, allows
us to think much Of the odd figure we cut
on such occasions, much less do we think
that aught else than a good bed, good health,
and clear conscience are requisite to re-
reshing sleep. The following which we
clip from an exchange, unaccredited, would
indicate that there is some science in going
10 bed as we'll es in some other matters:
The Earth is a magnet, with magnetic cur
rents constantly playing around it. The
human body is also magnet and when the
body is placed in certain relations to the
earth these currants harmonize-when il
any other position they conflict. Wher
one position is to be maintained for some
time, position should be chosen in which
the magnetic currents of the earth and the
body will not conflict. This position. as in
dicated BY theory, and known by expert
ment, is to lie with your head towards the
North pole. Persons who sleep with thei
heads in an oppoite direction, or lying cross
wise, are liable 10 fall into various ner
yous disorders. When they go back to tht
| right position, these disorders, il not tot
deeply impressed upon the constitution
soon vanish. Sensitive persons are Away
more refreshed by sleep when their head
point due North. Architects, in plannin
houses, should bear this principle in mind.

THE INQUIRE R
a Juveuile Magician.


All ST. Louis, lad Of some seven sum
mers, being particuly struck with some o
the tricks Of Mscallister, the magician, n
the absence Of his parents prevailed on his
sister, younger still than he, to be his sublec'
for performing the 'nose trick"-in which
the nose is seemingly cut of and tnen pu'
on. Initiating the famous juggler, ne placed
! cloth around her neck and then with
large carving knife cut her nose on close :, =
her. face. Her screams brought in the nelgn-
bor, who on entering the house were paraiy,
yea for time at the scene. The boy stood
sehast, with the bloody knife still IN ms
hand. the severed nose lying at his teet' whl'e
the little girl, with blood streaming from pei
face, was rolling over the floor wrlthlng un.
der the pain Of the wound. The nose was
restored to its place and the poor little victim
will survive, but to carry disfguring scar
through life as a witness Of her brothers lu'
yenile aspirations to "play Macallister."
