Rad Spelling.

The editors arc rejoicing over the
present popular mania for spelling
matches, and arc cxhortiDg the public to
keep the thing going until the country
improves little in its defective oFthOg-
raphy, The Chicago Tribune says that
"the condition Of tho public spelling ia
simply fearful"
ave receive daily, scores Of commune
cations written whose spelling Is bad
enough to make ones hair stand on end
Tho fault does not seem to pertain to any
particular class, The poets, Of whom
THE TRIBUNE has about 1000 in train
ing, perhaps spell the worst, but rs they
arc laboring under "fne frenzy" they
take any lipgual liberty they please with
impunity, The ministers and parsons
are frequently frightful spoilers, We
obtain every week manuscript sermons
for publication which require the whole
force Of the Office to unspGll, Politicians,
storywriters, lawyers, merchants, clerks,
and correspondents Of both sexes, send
their iavOrs to US without a blush at the
enormities they peFpctrate in Orthoyra'
ply. For this reason, We arc glad to sec
that the spelling match Is abroad in tho
land.

Sleeplessness.

To TAKE hearty meal just before re-
firing is, of course, injurious, because it
is very likely to disturb ones rest anc
produe nightmare. However, a little
food at this time, if one is hungry, is de-
cidedly beneficial; it prevents the gnaw-
ing of an empty stomach with its atten-
dant restlessness and unpleasant dreams,
to say nothing of probable headache, OF
of nervous and other arrangements the
next morning. One should no more lie
down at night hungry than he should lie
down after very full dinner; the conse-

so restore the tone of the system-i is all
that is necessary.
We have known persons, habitual suf-
ferers from restlesSness at night, to eN-
rerience material benefit, even though
they were not hungry, by very light
luncheon before bedtime In place of
tossing about for two or three hours as
tsrmerly, they would soon grow drowsy,
fall asleep, and not wake more than once
or twice until sunrise. This mode of
treating insomnia has recently been
recommended by several distinguished
physicians, and the prescription has gem
orally been attended with happy results.
