LYING IN BED WITH THE HEAD HEGH 1t is
often Q question amongst people who are unac-
quainted with the anatomy and physiology Of
man, whether lying with the head exalted or
even with the body, was the most wholesome
Most consulting their ewn ease on this point,
argue in favor of that which they prefer Now,
although many delight in. bolstering up, their
heads at night, and sleep soundly without i'm
jury, yet we declare it to be dangerous habit
The vessels through which the blood passes
from the heart to the head, arealways lessened
in their cavities when the head is resting in bed
higher than the bodys therefore in all diseases
attended with fever, the head should be pretty
nearly on aslevel with the bedy; and people
ought to accustom themselves to sleep thus te
| avoid danger. Medical Journal

evening, having left New Orleans nine or ten
days previous While on the coast taking in
sugar, the boy slipped aboard unseen, and hid
himself in one of the unocoupied rooms along.
side of the wheel-house. Atnight he would slip,
out to the pantry, opposite hisroom, and help,
himself to the lunch set apart for the officers
and thus got along very comfortably. He was
not detected till the boat got into. the Ohio
