stump to thump against; or by Turning n con-

against this blUck,-the force Of the blows
on the bark becoming So soItened us not to

The Science of Going TO Bed.

The earth is a magnet, with magnetic cur
rents constantly playing around it. The
human body Is also a magnet, and when the
body is placed in certain relations to the
earth, these currents harmonize--when in
any other position they conflict. When Que
position is to be maintained for some time, a
position should be chosen in which the mag
net currents ofthe earth and body will not
conflict. This position, as indicated by
theory and by experiment is to lie with the
head to the north pole. Persons who sleep
wish their heads in the opposite direction
or lying c~rosswise, are liable TO fall into va
rious nervous disorders. When they &C
back to the right position, these disorders, i
not too deeply impressed upon the constltu'
ion, soon vanish. Sensitive persons are al
why's more refreshed by sleep when theil
heads point due north. Architects, in plan
ming houses, should bear this principle il
mind.

AHundred Years AGO,

Somebody has, under the above caption,
thrown together some striking facts in the
history ofour country and of the world.
A hundred years ago, a stupid German
monarch reigned over these United States
then colonies Of Great Britain--and on the
whole earth, with the exception of Switzer-
land, there was no; u single republic of any
pretensions. A hundred years ago the Frenrh
allies noaled over Quebec, Pittsburgh and
New Orleans. A hundred years ago The
French monarchy eXisled--the basllle rear
ed It's accursed towers, and Louis XVIII dali
lied with Infamous w%autons, sqnandered his
subjects money, and blasphemed the name
Of man. Fifty years ago railroads, locomo'
tives and ielegrnpIis, were practically un'
known. Fifty years ago there were scarce
ly five millions Of people in the United States
and Ohio, was almost as much Of u wilder
ness as Oregon is now. Fifty years age
Washington had just died, Jefferson wa'
still living, aud Clay, Webster aud Calhoun
were names as yet unknown 10 fume.
