s,een The Best stimulant.

The best possible thing for man to
do when he feels too weak to carry II
through, is to go to bed and sleep q
week if he can. This is the only true
recuperation of brain power, the only
actual recuperation of brain force De-
cause during sleep, the brain is IN a
sense of rest, in condition to receive
and appropriate particles of nutriment
from the blood, which takes the place OF
those which have consumed in previous
labor, since the very act OF thinking
consumes, burns up solid particles as
every turn of the wheel or screw of the
splendid steamer, is the result OF con-
sumption by fire of the fuel IN the FUR
mace. The supply of consumed brain
substance can only be had from the nu-
TRENT particles in the blood, which were
obtained from the food eaten previously,
and the brain is so constituted that 1t
can best receive and appropriate to itself
those nutrient particles during state OF
rest, of quiet, and stiffness in sleep,
Mere stimulants supply nothing in
themselves they only goad the brain,
force it to greater consumption of its
substance, and until that substance has
been SO exhausted that there is not pow
er enough left to receive a supply, just
as men are SO near death by thirst and
starvation, that there is not power
enough left to swallow anything, and all
is over.
The incapacity of the the brain for
receiving recuperatIve particles some
times comes ON with the rapidity of a
stroke Of lightning, and the man be-
cones mad in an instant, loses sense and
is an idiot. 1t was under circumstances
of this kind in the midst of sentence
of great oratorical power one of the
most eminent minds of his age forgot
his ideas, pressed his hand against his
forehead, and, after moments silence
said, 'God, as with sponge has blotted
out my mind" Be assured readers,
"there ia rest for the weary, only in
early and abundant sleep. "-Jour,al Of
Health.

HE fOOTLEsS IHILD THAT WAS
BEATEN AND STABBED FOR NOT WALK
ING UP STAIRS. - One day recently
respectfully dressed man carried we'll
grown child, muflied up, and apparently
sick, into French's hotel, He placed
the child on the stairs and began to talk
in very unkind, rough way. The at
tention of the guests was attracted and
they gathered around.
:" You are able to walk up stairs by
yourself" said the man, land / won't
carry you step"
"Oh, oh, the child sobbed, do carry
me up; please, pa, 90. You know ever
since / was run over by the cars and
lost both my feet / can't walk up stairs
alone
"That's all stuff, the man answered;
get up at once or III! make you.
The poor child began to sob worse
than before, and the brutal man gave it
severe thump on the side of the head.
The child moaned piteously. The in
dignation of the bystanders was excited
and one Of them said to the man: is
this child yours
What's that to your" the man an
swered :" won't tell you"
"He's my father the child sobbed,
and-he-kiled-my-mother.- just
as-he-is-a-going-to-kill-me "
The man doubled his fist and made as
though be was about to give the child a
savage blow. One of the bystanders in
terfered and said -" Say, if you don't
stop this I'll call policeman. / never
saw such brutal father il all my life. F"
The man then began to tumble in his
pockets and the child cried out: Take
care, for he has got knife. He is going
to stick you."
Sure enough the man produced knife
and opened it. The crowd slipped of
oHe ny one except Two.
Bring an officer" one of the men
cried to a friend.
If l am to be arrested" the man
said, it will be for something" and
thereupon he plunged the knife into the
body of the child. The child shrieked,
I'm murdered, I'm murdered !" and a
crowd rushed to the spot. The man
quietly raised the child in his arms, and
removing his hat said:
Gentlemen, this is a wooden child. /
am ventriloquist, and any little Offer
ing yon may be pleased to make will be
very acceptable. !"

Crows AND BLUE JAYs.-Crows GER
tainly are great destroyers of smaller
birds. Many time have | been awak-
ened before sunrise by cries of distress
from robins and other birds near my
house and found the cause to be a crow
going from nest to nest swallowing the
young birds and eggs. On one occasion
] reached the window just in time to see
a crow start from nest, within twenty
feet of me, with a young robin half
hedged in its beak. Hearing the notes
of young crows near by | followed with
my gun, and arrived in time to see the
old crow tear the young robin in pieces,
and feed it to her young crows. A shot
disturbed their feast. These young crows
bad been some days, if not weeks, out
Of the nest. Blue jays eat the eggs of
other birds. They may eat the young
also; but / have never seen it done.

c., Monr-Cul,ivate SINGING IN

SING MoRE.--Cultivate singing in
the family. Begin when the child is yet
not three years old. The songs and
hymns your mother sung, bring them to
your little ones; the hymns and the de-
votional mix them together, to meet
the similar moods, as in after life they
come over us so mysterously sometimes.
Many time and oft, in Wall street and
Broadway, in the very whirl OF business,
in the sunshine and gayety of Fiith-av-
enue, and amid the splendor of the drives
in the Central Park, some little thing
wakes up the memories of early youth
the old mill. the cool spring, the shady
tree by the little school-house-and the
next instant we almost see again the rud-
dy cheek, the smiling faces, and the
merry eyes of school-mates, some gray
headed now, most " lie moldering in the
grave" And anon "the song my moth
err sang springs unbidden to the lips.
and soothes and sweetens all these men,
cries.
AT other times, amid the crushing
mishaps of business, a merry ditty of the
olden time pops up its little head, breaks
in upon the ugly train of thought, throws
the mind in another channel; lights
break in from behind the cloud in the
sky, and a new courage is given to us.
The honest man goes singing to his work;
and when the days labor is done, his
tools laid aside, and he is on his way
home, where wife and child and tidy
table and CHEEKY fireside await him, he
cannot help but whistle and sing.
The burglar never sings. Moody 81
lence, not the merry song, weighs down
the dishonest tradesman, the perfdious
clerk, the unfsithful servant, the per-
jured partner.

EXTRACTING TEETH BY STEAM Pow
ER.-His name was Baumgardner. He
was going down to Cape May on the
steamboat, and ON the way his tooth be-
ban to ache in the most frightful man
ner. Unable to endure the pain any
longer, he determined to have the tooth
removed summarily. So Baumgardner
got bit of copper wire from the engin-
eer and twisted one end around his
tooth, and when the boat stopped at
New Castle he fastened the other end Of
the wire to the walking beam of the en-
CINE, and waited for the Jerk that would
remove the tooth. That end of the beam,
however, was on the down stroke, and
the first thing Mr.. Beaumgardner knew
he was proceeding to the boiler room
with frightful rapidity. The next in
slant he was hauled aloft suddenly and
hung feet upwards into the air. Then
he Owed down again, then up then down,
humping against the wood work, rasp-
ing his legs on the rail, scalping himself
against the machinery, and plunging
about in the most appalling manner, un-
til on final up stroke the tooth gave
way, and Beaumgardner was flung to
The summit of the smoke stack, whence
he was rescued by the captain who was
going to thrash him for stopping off the
draft. He is said to have remarked to
the landlord upon his arrival at Cape
May, that while the low pressure steam
engine is undoubtedly useful invention,
its application in the practice of the SCI
ence of dentistry would be calculated to
prejudice the public mind against it,
