The "Life.DresS.,,

Mr.. G. S. Merrinan, of New York.
the patentee of the life-dress, has offered
$500 to Mr.. Paul Boyton, the diver, to
to make sea voyage in his suit, in or
der to demonstrate to the public its
merits as life-preserver. He has ac-
cepted the proposal, and on or about the
25th of September he will be carried
from New York by an outward-bound
steamer to distance not less than 200
miles from land, when he will be
dropped and left to the mercy of the
waves until he shall meet passing
vessel. He will carry with him in rub
Der bag sufficient rations, consisting of
dried meats, etc., forone week as well as
a good quantity of fresh water. He will
also carry signal lights and flags, with
sectional flag twelve feet long for rails
ing them, all of which are to be slowed
away in the unlimited portals of the
rubber bag, which is about two feet
square, and is of little or no inconyep
fence, strapped to and foated at. the
side of the swimmer. The feat may be
considered by many as challenging
death, but Mr.. Boyton is very sanguine
OF success, and says that he would will
ingly allow himself to be left thousand
miles out without the slightest fears
regarding his safe recovery. In order
to accomplish this object he has chosen
the mentioned date as the one when he

Mistaken Philanthropy.

On circus-day evening q well-known.
well-to-dO citizen of this city, whose
kindness of heart and deeds toward
Gods poor" are in every mans mouth,
though he himself is proverbial for his
modesty, went up to the circus. Like
the ancient Emperor Aurelian, he counts
that day lost which records no good
deed-something done which has made
some one happy. On his way up he
revolved in his own mind the deeds of
the day, but could think of nothing he
had done which had made any one glad,
and his heart was full of regrets that he
had accomplished nothing. Just as he
approached the entrance to the tent he
heard the man who collected the tickets
order little girl, perhaps 10 or II years
of age, and evidently one of the poorest
of the poor, away from the tent because
she had no ticket. The child showed
her grief in glistening tear-drop, and
turned regretfully away. Here was the
chance, and our philanthropist grasped
quickly at the opportunity. He APP
preached the girl, and told her to follow
him and he would take her in to see the
circus. She expressed her gratitude in
the best manner she knew, and followed
him in. He took great pains In show
ing her all the animals, explaining their
peculiarities to her, the country they
came from, etc. regardless of the wonder
it created among his friends. He then
entered the circus tent, seating his
protege by his side, and congratulating
himself that he had made that girls
heart purer and happier for that day, at
least. When the performance was
about half through the girl got up ana
started to go out. "Why do you leave
so soon, my dear ?" asked cur philan-
thropist. "Oh - said she, "this is
the d-dest poorest circus I ever saw.
Get off my dress and let me CO." Loves
labor was lost, and the philanthropist
was at last left with the conviction that
his day was lost also.-Dubuoue Times.

Many times women call upon their family

Causes of Insomnia.

Researches lately made by DIR. Duck.
worth, an English physician, appear to
show clearly that the brain is compare.
lively an@mic during sleep, and that
the blood thus removed from the head
is more freely supplied to the viscera
and integuments. The most constant
cause, and certainly the most frequent
accompaniment of sleeplessness, says
DR.. Duckworth, is an opposite condi-
tlon-one of active and increased cere-
bral circulation. There may, he says.
sometimes be species of nocturnal
dyspepsia, mild in its character, and
producing actual suffering, but giving
rise to persistent insomnia. There
may be symptoms beyond dryness of
the mouth, burning of the soles OF the
feet, and heat and throbbing in the
head, these being probably due to a too
acid condition OF the contents of the
stomach and upper part of the small
intestines.
