EIGHT MORE THAN TwELvE.-A Dutch
man in Columbus County, Ohio, leased
his lands to an Oil Company last spring,
on condition of receiving one-eighth OF
the oil procured. The we'll proved to be
pretty good one, and the former began
to think that the oil men should give
him a better chance, and ventured to tell
them SO. They asked him what he wan
ted. He said they ought to give him
one-twelfth. The agreement was finally
made. with the understanding that the
Dutchman was to tell no one. All went
on smooth until the next division day
came, when our friend was early on hand
to see how much better he would be off
under the new bargain. Eleven barrels
were rolled to one side for the oil men
and one for him. This did not suit him.
+" How's dish ?" says he at tink l was
to get more as before. By jinks you
make mistake" The matter was ex-
planned to him that he formerly got one
barrel out of every eight, but it was his
own proposition to only take one out of
every twelve. The revelation took him
aback. He scratched his head, looked
cross, and relieved his swelling breast of
feelings of self-reproach by Indignantly
remarking, "Vell, dat ish the first time
as ever knowed eight was more as
twelve"

extremites. The pressure of the blood
on the brain, keeps it in stimulated or
wakeful state, and the pulsations in the
head are often painful. Let such rise
and chafe the body and extremities with
brush or towel, or rub smartly with the
hands, to promote circulation, and with
draw the excessive amount of blood from
the brain, and they will fall asleep in a
few moments. A cold bath, or sponge
bath. or rubbing, or good run, or a
rapid walk in the open air, or going up
or down stairs few times before retir-
ing, will aid in equalizing circulation
and promoting sleep. These rules are
simple, and easy of application, and may
minister to the comfort of thousands,
who would expend money for an anodyne
to promote sleep.
