The Voix gives some details of the
practical working of the medical night
service of St. Petersburg, which has now
been in operation a twelvemonth. At
first this new night service. founded by
the private exertions of q few medical
men, had many difficulties with which
to contend, but perseverance triumphed
in the end, as it usually does, This
novel institution is now found to be ex-
tremely useful to the inhabitants of st.
Petersburg, and reckons persons of all
ranks and means among its clients. The
medical men on duty are always ready
TO render the services asked at their
hands, without any previous knowledge
that their labor win prove remunerative;
neither do they shrink from going, when
required, to the most dangerous and no.
torious localities. The number Of visits
made aud carefully registered during
the current year amounts to 1924, Of
which the greatest number was in Jsnu-
airy, when they amounted to l52. The
maximum Of visits made in one night
being six and the minimum three. The
patients comprised 524 men, 1863 women,
aud 1877 children Of both sexes. These
nocturnal duties were performed by l5
of the permanent staff aud 3%51occasional
helpers. The fees paid by persons in
good circumstances have been utilized
in completing the necessary arrange
ments for this night medical service and
in organizing small surgeries, where the
necessary appliances may be always
found az hand. The example thus set

Brown Bread as a Detective.

Boston Transcript
Not far out in the suburbs of Boston
is an ancient burying-place, wherein are
headstones that afford food for the anti
quarian mind, which are zealolsly
guarded by a faithful sexton. Recently
this custodian missed one Of the earliest
dated Of the mortuary memorials, and
he put all his wits to work TO discover its
whereabouts for some time without sue.
cess. One Sunday morning he went to
his bakers for the customary Sunday
breakfast Of brown bread and beans. Ia
serving the repast, his eyes fell upon
something unusual on the undertake of
the loaf-"Here lies ye"-in reverse
order, which, after some study, he sue.
cseded in d~eciphering. No breakfast
passed the sections lips until the cause
Of this strange impress was solved. He
hostened to the bakers for a solution.
The bake.house %adjoined the cemetery.
The floor Of the bakers oven had given
out, and the break had been covered with
the ancient gravestone, which, happily
for the sections peace Of mind, was un.
injured by the heat to which it had been
subjected.

The simple remedy for insomnia, sug-

self--ss he has also frequently prescribed
for others-onionsI simply common raw
onions. The well.knoWn tsst0 Of onions
is due to a peculiar essential oil con-
tanned in them, and this oil has highly
soporifc powers, which, 10 his own case,
Mr.. Buckland AYERS, never fails; if much
pressed with work, and feeling an ina.
bility to sleep, his practice is to eat Two
or three small onions, the effect of which
is mGgical in producing the desired re-
poss. Such a remedy has a great advan-
tsxe over the Supplying drugs commonly
yesorted to for this purpose, and is wen
preferable to the Liquor opii sedat and

Farmers are divided in opinion as to the
utility of sailing hay. One thing Is certain.
that Il has never proved sufficiently advan-
tapeous to become adopted by good farmers
to any extent. We do not think 1t would
preserve green hay or effect the weight, un-
less applied in doses so large as to injure
animals. -Four quarts to the ton are as
much as we would advise for any expert
ment. Some farmers inform us that three
quarts per ton make their hay more palata-
bic, and prevent mustiness, while others
give unfavorable reports. SO small guam
tity would not probably produce much eff
feet either way. Hay contains naturally
several pounds of salt per ton (tbe precise
amount we have not at hand, which is pro-
baby about as much as animals need. A
difficulty in sailing hay is IN applying it
evenly it would be likely to be spread in
masses, and animals would get it in undue
quantities at times. On the whole we have
not much to say in favor of sailing hay,
but would depend much more on good
feeding machine. country Gentleman.
