Sleeping under the Clothes.

THERE is reason to believe (says Miss
Florence Nightingale) that not few of
the apparently unaccountablc cases of
scrofula among children proceed from the
habit of sleeping with the head under the
bed-clothcs, and so inhaling air already
breathed, which is further contaminated by
eXhalations from the skin. Patients are
sometimes given to similar habit and il
often happens that the bed-clothcs are so
disposed that the patient must necessarily
breathe air more or less contaminated by
eXhalations from the skin. A good nurse
will be careful to attend to this 1t is an
important part, SO To speak, of ventilation.
1t may be worth while to remark, that
when there is any danger of bed-sores. Il
blanket should never be placed under the
patient. Never use anything but light
Whitney blanket and bed-covering for the
sick. The heavy impervious cotton coun-
terpane is bad, for the very reason that it
keeps in the emanations from the sick per-
son, while the blanket allows them to pass
through. Weak patients are invariably
distressed by great weight of bed
clothes, which often prevents their getting
any sound sleep whatever.

THE beating of the heart does not de
pend on the general nervous system, either
cerebro-spinal or sympathetic, as may be
shown by the fact that the heart of tor
toise continues to beat for many hours
after it has been cut out. In fact, il may
be cut into parts, and these parts will con
tinue to beat. The fact is explained by
Prof Foster, of London, in lecture re-
ported in Appleton's Journal, as depend
ing on the character of the nerve of the
heart. The ordinary nerves consist sim
ply of fibers, and can only convey impress
sions made upon it by nerve cells, such as
are found in the brain, or ganglia, or in
the Pacinian corpuscles at the cXtremities
of the nerves Now the nerves of the
heart combine both fihers and cells, and it
is the action of these cells that affects
the nerve fibers, Qrigiuaiing nerve force,
and thus governs the mnsonlar n,ovrmcnt

Love, Jealousy and Bee-Stings.

The presence of the green-eyed monster
is as frequently perceived in high as in low
estate. Pretty young ladies are, it is said
peculiarly liable to the queer disease 1t
creeps into their hearts in such insidious
diSguiscs that the artless little beauties are
not aware of its existence until it crops out
in such passionate cXcesses that it frightcns
them to contemplate it,
No doubt it was in precisely such way
that "A young lady on Franklin street, Al
bany, became amenabe to its influence.
For some time past she has regarded IA
youth with special favor Charlie possesses
many attractive qualities He dresses in
the .:test mode, wears an Alpine" and
cultivates moustache. Yet he is tickle in
disposition, and while his lips are attuned
to the harmony Ofsweet words, and Il low,
passionate recital of loves anguish for
the tair. Julia's ears, his mind is enumerat-
ing the attractions of the pretty little
widow around the corner
Now, this widow is no friend of Julia or
she of her. For her life she can't see what
Charlie admires in her. Indeed, Charlie
denies any special interest in the coquettish
beauty, but he goes to see her none the
less The fact that Julia disapproved it
had no cffeo in changing his practice, and
longing with a woman's curiosity to know
what it meant, Julia determined to find it
out. She forgot her selfrespect, and be-
came spy. The pretty Julia became an
eaves-dropper
Seeing Charlie entering the front door
of the cozv little cottage wherein the
widow abided she fastened 20 admit her
self into the yard by the rear gate, and
peeped in ut the window. Just under
meath the window, however, was little
square box, on which Julia stood to get
good look into the room. Her worst fears
were realized. On "a sofa Just large
enough for two, the pretty widow and
Charlie sat, with heads inclined, and a
low, monotone issuing from the lips of
either, telling as plainly as words might
have done, of loves confessions.
Julia stepped back, the box turned
over, and innumerable angry little insects
issuing, proclaimed it bee hive OF
course they stung her. Fierce as mimic
warriors the angry little demons laid hold
of her shapely extremities, popping IA
sting into the plump little hand another
in the rounded check, and even the silken
hose were no protection to the exuuis-
itely fashioned ankle. She rolled on the
ground and crushed rutblessly i'm mud and
mire her hands, feet and body.
The house was alarmed and the inmates
came rushing out to learn the cause of the
uproar. Even the impudent Charlie
looked cunningly over the widows
shoulders; but that might be pardoned,
had he not asked sympathetically, y, If the
bees had stung herr Hartshorn and
camphor were called into requisition, and
Julia, swathcd in tlannels and poisoned bv
the sting of the bees, consigns both Char
lie and the widow to very disagreeable
lives hereafter Albanv Eening JOurbd.

advance OF the combustion, and, by watch
ing 1t with the SpectrOscOpe, the appear
ance and disappearance of the lines indi-
cate the exact moment at which the opera
ton is to be arrested.
The spectrOscOpe promises also to be-
come very valuable instrument in medico-
legal Investigations into the evidences of
criminality Blood stains may be detect
ed by it with extreme delicacy. Mr. Sorby
has shown that the one-thousandth part of
a grain of the red -coloring matter of a blood
stain may be detected with the greatest
certainty
But it is in its celestial applications that
the spectroscOpe has performed its most
wonderful achievements. The constitu-
ton of the sun, for example, which, ten years
ago, wasa matter of the pureSt mcclure,
is now "A matter of definite and positive
knowledge We know what it is composed
of-its chemical cOnstituents-not as COM
pletely, but with the same certainty, as we
know the chemical constitution of the
earth. Sixteen of the elements with which
we are familiar upon earth, are proved
also to exist in the atmosphere of the sun.
They are the following: sodium calcium,
barium, magnesium, iron, chromium,
nickel, copper, zinc, strontium, cadmium,
cobalt, hydrogen, manganese, aluminium,
titanium.
The stars have also been subjected to
spectroscopic study with equal success.
They are shown to resemble our sun, their
light coming from white-hot matter in
their atmospheres. About eighty lines in
the spectrum of the light from Aldebaran
have been mapped, and it has been ascer-
tanned that the atmosphere of this star
contains sodium, magnesium, hydrogen
blsmuth, tellurium, antimony and mercury
Sirius contains sodium magnesium iron
and hydrogen. About sixty other stars
have been examined, and all seem to have
some chemical element known on carth.-

4 TWILIGHT MEMORY.


Gently fell the twilight shadows
= Ger thesunset's mellow light,
Aud we saw. the angels lighting ~
One by one. The lamps of night.
a. am tired my darling whispered,
q =. And Hong SO much to Sleep;
IcOuld hear the robins calling,
From the shadows dun and deep.
. Hold me on your BOSOM MOTHER"
Faint and low her whispered words
But TO me they held the music
ORA Thousand singing birds.
/ H.. And held herto nv bosom,
Ciose against my aching breast,
blu the mother-arms about her
Cnu!d not Sooth her into rest.
Sing the dear old cradle ballad
That you used to sing to me
When YOU hushed me into slumbcr
And sat upon your knee
Then sang the simple ditty
10 its old familara
While my eyes were dim and blinded
bythe tears that gathered there:
e = InS,, my child lie still and slumbcr,
- Holy angels guard thy bed,
Heavenly blessings withon,, .amoer
Gently falling on ih, mead
Then . li-snt shone-oh so softly =
from the shadows of the west.
And il touched nv darling's eyelidS,
With the blessed balm OF rest
oh, that light, so mild ard tender!
have often thought since then
That an daqe touched my darling,
Aud he charmed away her pain;
For she slept the last sweet slumbcr,
That weary mortal knows.
And her face grew strangely quiet
In adeep and calm reposc.
Yes she slept to wake at morning
On the calm. Eternal Shore

Full of rest for evermOre.

sentiments in his letter to the General of

far as politics bear upon religion that
he is and will be a true and fervent Cath

courtesy due to every foreigner, and to
leave his further actions and movements
