How Long to Sleep.

The fact is, that as life becomes con-
centrated, and its pursuits more eager,
short sleep and early rising become i'm
possible. We take more sleep than our
ancestors, and we take more because
we want more. Six hours sleep will
do very well for a plowman or brick
layer, or any other men who has no ex-
haustion but that produced by manual
labor, and the sooner he takes it after
his labor is over the better. But for a
man whose labor is mental, the stress
of work is on his brain and nervous sys-
tenn, and for him who is tired in the
evening with day of mental applica-
tion, neither early to bed nor early to
rise is wholesome. He needs letting
down to the level of repose. The longer
the interval between the active use of
the brain and his retirement to bed, the
better his chance of sleep and refresh
ment. To him an hour after midnight
is probably as good as two hours be-
fore it, and even then his sleep will not
so completely and quickly restore him
as it will his neighbor who is physi-
cally tired. He must not only go to
bed later, but lie longer His best sleep
probably lies in the early morning
hours, wen all the nervous excitement
has passed away, and he is in absolute
rest

SANo CORPORE.-The influence of the
stomach on the brain should be carefully
needed. Let the stomach be in slight degree
disturbed, and the entire nervous system be-
comes sufferer. Bring the stomach to a
healthy tone and the nervous machinery
promptly resumes its perfect running order.
Happily, there is no necessity for any long dis
arrangement of the functions of the stomach,
since in AYERS Pills we have SO perfect
combination, admirably adapted for relief.
They have stood the test of years, and have
exhibited stomachic properties most wonder
full. Their wise use, by keeping the system
in perfect order, promotes longevity, and what
is far better. insures the full enjoyment of the
time spent here. We use them and know their
value.-Florence (Kan.) Pioneer. 10

A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.-The percep-
tive faculty of women is usually keener
than the same chronological organ in
men. Woman knows that beauty rather
than genius is worshipped by the sterner
sex. A man may talk with his lips of
the latter to his lady-love, but the
keenness of the woman knows that he
is thinking of the former in his heart.
All women have an innate desire to
please their beaur. They are fond of
admiration, hence one of their longings
is to be beautiful. The grand secret of
female beauty is health-the secret of
health is the power TO eat, digest and
assimilate proper quantity of whole
some food. Take VINEGAR BIrTERs. 1t

organs, give a perfect digestion, purify
the blood, clear up the complexion and

electricity which gives symmetry of

thousands of people would learn, for
the first time, that many of their wants
are purely fictitious, that many of their

the baggage-trains fell OFF, but the
health and strength of the men, equally

proved in inverse proportion to the
dropping away of the long lines of bag

community is afflicted with thousands
of fictitious wants, which have come to
be regarded as necessities to comfort,
but which are, in fact, merely costly
habits, fastened upon it by an absurd
system o. credit applied to the smallest
