THE Moons INFLUENCE is said
that if timber be felled when the moon
is on the increase, it will decay, and
that it should always be cut when the
moon is on the wane. Nobody can
give reason for this, yet the belief is
common in several countries, and
what is still more strange, professed
wood-cutters, whose occupation is to
fell timber, aver, as the actual result
of their observation, that the belief is
well founded. 1t was formerly inter
woven in the Forrest Code of France,
and unless expunged by recent altera-
tons, is so still. The sane opinion is
said to obtain in the German forests,
in Brazil, and in Yucatan. The theo-
ry given to account for what is as
sumed to be fact, is, that as the moon
grows, the sap rises, and the wood
therefore is less dense than when the
moon is waning, because at that time
the sap in the tree diminishes. No eyi-
dence whatever can be offered in sup
port either of the belief or of the the
Dry; and as a matter Of fact we may
rest assured that there is no more

GET ENOUGH SLEEP. have often
heard young men remark that four or
five hours was all they wanted, and all
that the human system required. The
habit of going without sufficient sleep
is very injurious. Thousands, no
doubt, permanently injure their health
in this way. We live in a fast age,
when everybody seems to be trying to
pervert the order of nature. If folks
will persist in turning day into night,
it is not to be wondered at that few
last out the allotted term of life. No
matter what mans occupation, phys
zeal or mental, or, like Othello's 'gone, "
and living in idleness-the constitution
cannot stand it without a sufiiciency of
regular and refreshing sleep. John
Hunter, the great surgeon, died sud
denly of spasmodic affection of the
heart, a disease greatly encouraged by
want of sleep. In a volumn just pub
lished by a medical man, there is one
great lesson that may be learned by
hard students and literary men, and
that is, that Hunter probably killed
himself by too little sleep -Four
hours rest at night and one after din
ner, cannot be deemed sufficient to re-
cruit the exhausted powers of body
and mind" Certainly not; and the
consequence was that Hunter died
early. If men will insist on cheating
sleep, her "twin sister death will
avenge the insult. Home journal.

THE BREAKFAST TABLE Breakfast,
as possibility, is something very de-
lightful; breakfast as it is, is often a
very disagreeable operation. To in
sure a pleasant breakfast, everything
must be done in time and in order;
the fire must be kept clear and bright;
the kitchen, as well as the dining
room, clean the table neatly laid; the
food nicely cooked, if it be ever so
plain; and the family all seated punct-
tuallyin their places MS the clock strikes
the proper hour for breakfast.
There are plenty of people who dis
like punctuality. They consider it one
of the inalienable rights and privileges
Of living in ones own house, that they
can drop down to meals, and especially
their morning meal, any time, IN def
ance of all rules and regulations.
This is a misfortune; 1t puts an end
forever to order and comfort in any
household destroys allpleasant OPP
portunities for the social chat for
ces one part of the family to eat at
one time, and the rest at another-it
doubles the labor, and altogether COM
plicates and embarrasses the domestic
machinery in way to render order and
economy of time out of the question.

The DENTISTS VOCATION oper-
alive dentist is confined almost exclu-
sively to his Office, scarcely during the
day getting a breath of pure, fresh air,
while he is forced frequently to breathe
an atmosphere absolutely contami-
mated, and that to degree that must
be experienced to be appreciated. He
is constantly kept in position the
most tiresome and unhealthy, while
the character of his labors is extreme
ly exhausting. Thus having been de-
prived of fresh air to breathe, of all
healthful or inyigorating exercise, the
close of each day finds him wearied
and Frustrated, mentally as we'll as
bodily. Still his labor for the day is
not yet done. He has had no time
during the day for reading or study,
and must rob himself of the needed
recreation of the evening or else Of
some portion of his equally needed
sleep and rest, that this very impor-
tant part of his duty to himself and his
patients may not be neglected. 1t is
not clear then, that the occupation of
the dentist is necessarily an unhealthy
one? If this is so, You will not be
surprised at the statement that very
few dentists can continue in full prac-
tice for many years, without finding
their health seriously impaired, or ut
terly broken. 1t may safely be said
that nine out of every ten dentists who
have attained to anything like success
or competence by means of their pro-
fession alone, have done so at the ex-
pense of their health. Either they have
been unable to follow longer the prac-
tice of their profession at all, or they
have followed it to so limited AN ex-
tent, that their income from it has
proved but nominal and very ancer-
tain. Peoples Dental JourRdas

asS~ The amount of coal transported
by the Delaware Canal Company this
season, up to May "a, was 97,OS5 tons,
an increase of 29,177 tons over last
season. But the increased production
is not likely to help consumers any, as
the transportation companies propose
to increase their rates, and coal will
probably be higher next winter than
now. There seems no prospect for its
declining until the production shall ex-
ceed the demand, and the scarcity OF
labor and the large government de-
mand for coal will help to postpone
that time.
