To take ahearty meal just before re-
tiring is, of course, Injurious, because
it is very likely to disturb ones rest,
and produce nightmare. However.
little food at this time, if one is
hungry, is decidedly beneficial; it
prevents the gnawing Of an empty
stomach, with its attendant restless
ness and unpleasant dreams, to say
nothing of probable headache next
morning. One should no more lie
down at night hungry than he should
lie down after full dinner, the con-
sequence of either being disturbing
and harmful. A cracker or two,
bit of bread and butter, or cake,
little fruit something to relieve the
sense of vacuity, and so restore the
tone Of the system-isall thatisnecea-
sary., ..... go.

sufferers from restlessness at night, TO-
experience material benefit, even
though they were not hungry, by a.
very light luncheon before bedtime
In place of tossing about for two or
three hours as formerly, they would

awake more than once or twice. until
sunrise. This mrde Of treating insom-

The future course of the gold
premium has not since 1866 been
more uncertain that it is to-day. The
permanent causes, such as the known
demands Of Germany for gold to take
the place of its silver coinage, and the
unsatisfactory state of the Bank of
England's reserve, will operate for
some time to come in favor of a high
er premium. On the other hand we
understand that Secretary Bristow
has determined to purchase thirty
millions of bonds for the Sinking
Fund. This, however, cannot be
counted on as a certainty, since the
Secretary also has power to purchase
gold and store it away in the Treasury
.prepara tory to resumption in 1879,
and the latter operation, so far as it is
carried out, necessarily neutralizes
the former. Meanwhile the market
for. bills Of exchange on London is in
estate Of chaos, the Bank ofEngland's
rate is again moving upwards, and
gold in Wall Street, under the steady
drain to which Secretary Bristow is
subjecting the market, is every day
growing scarcer.-New Yor Tribune.

A SCIENTISTS EXPERIENCE WITH
TOBACCO.

A distinguished French savant, the
Able Moingno, contributes to the
discussion Of the tobacco question
some interesting observations on the
influence of the weed upon his own
mental powers. For many years he
had been addicted to the habit of
snuf-taking, though conscious of In
furious results flowing from the prac-
tice. He renounced it again and
again, but relapse always followed.
In 1861 his daily allowance of snuff
was over twenty grammes, and he OBJ
served rapid decay Of the faculty Of
memory. He had learned some ff-
teen hundred root words in each Of
several languages, but found these
gradually dropping out of his mind,
so as tonecessitate frequent recurrence
to dictionaries. At last he summoned
resolution to break finally with the
use of tobacco in any form, and after
six years of abstinence, writes as fol-
lows:
'It was for US the commencement
of veritable resurrection of health,
mind, and memory our ideas have
become more lucid, our imagination
more vivid, our work easier, our pen

LITERARY NOTICES.

The Eclectic for March takes q
unique interest from an article BY
Thos. Carlyle. It is a long tim,
since the public has had anything
from hispen, but these opening chap
tiers of ''The Early Kings Of Nor
way" show that his intellect has lost
little Of its early yvigor, and his style
nothing Of its magic. A more pic
turesque subject could hardly hays
been chosen; and those who fail to
read the Eclectic during the months
which this history will run, will miss
a rare treat. Besides Carlyle's arti-
Gle and the always interesting Edito-
rial Departments, the contents of the
March number are: "Mr. LowelPs
Poems. " Saxon Studies s-III.,"
Sidewalks and Roadways;" Edgar
Allen Poe p "The Pedigree of Man,"

belished with an excellent steel por-
trait Of Professor Henry, of the Smith
sonian Institute E. R. Pelton,

ENGLAND's POLICY.
What rele would England take

| What releswould England take in
case of a great European contest ?
The general answer. will doubtless be
that Of neutrality. But is it pos
sible that neutrility can always be
maintained? If the British realm
were confined to the two small islands
which constitute it's heart; it might
be true that it could, keep out Of war,
but with widespreading colonies and
foreign entanglements it would be al
most impossible for England to avoid
taking part, sooner or later, in: the
struggle. How, then, is che prepared
for the emergency that is,almost sure
to arise?' The navy is apparently in
good order. The numerical strength
of the British feet is larger than that
Of any other power, and English sail
ors have not. deteriorated. But a
large part of thenavy is composed Of
vessels built since England was en-
gagged in a-great naval war Their
construction, to a certain extent, has
been experimental. Suppose on 60
ing to war it should be discovered
that the navy had been built on
faulty principles?> The result might
be to nullify that arm ofthe national
defense, and uncover the coast of Eng
land to any powerful nation intent
upon invading the country and lay
ing it under tribute. TIE enormous
wealth accumulated in London. is a
bait to avarice which must not be
ignored in considering the possibili-
ties Of hostile invasion: Suppose the
coast should be defenseless, what Kind
|of'an army could England oppose to
the magnificent troops of the Cont.
'nent? The militia and volunteers
would be useless. The regular army
would be effective as far as it goes,
but at most it would be but $4,000
strong. What could this handful do
against the tremendous hosts Of Ger
MANY, Russia, or France. If Eng
land will save herself she must be
willing to spend her money freely to
maintain large and efficient regular
army. If Englishmen will not serve
their country in person, they must be
prepared to pay the price for that
immunity as for any other. luxury.
That price is not so great as that
which might be assessed by, COM
mittee Of Continental bankers, in ses-
sion in captured London.

CHRISTIANITY AND SCIENCE,

In the current discussions of the re-
lations ofChristianity to science, there
is one fact that seems to have drop
ped out Of notice yet5it isAfun Of
meaning, and deserves, for Christians
ity's sake, to be raised and kept be-
fore the public. Who, or what, has
raised science to its present command
ing position? What influence is. it
that has trained the investigator, ed
ucated the people, and made it posi-
BILE for the scientific man to exist, and
the people to comprehend him !?
Who built Harvard College? What
motives form the very foundation
stones of Yale? To whom, and to
what, are the great institutions Of
learning, scattered all over the coun-
try, indebted for their existence ?
There is hardly one of these that did
not have its birth in, and has not had
its growth from, Christianity. The
founders Of all these institutions,
more particularly those of greatest in
duence and largest facilities, were
Christian men, who worked simply in
the interest of their Master. The
special scientific schools that have
been grated upon these institutions
are children of the same parents, rear
ed and endowed by the same work.
Christianity is the undoubted and
indisputable mother of the scientific
culture Of the country. But for her
our colleges would never have been
built-our common schools would
| never have been instituted. Wherev-
er free Christianity has gone, it has
carried with it education and cul;
ture.
l. The public, or a considerable por.
ton Of it, seems to forget this, or has
come to regard Christianity as op.
posed to science in its nature and
aims. 1t is almost regarded, by
many minds, as the friend of dark
ness, as the opponent Of free inquiry
and the enslaver of thought. The
very men who have been reared by
her in some instances turn against
her, disowning their mother and de
nying the sources of their attachments
and to-day she has herself almost for
gotten that it is her hand that has
reared all the temples Of learning
framed the educational policy of the
nation, and, with wide sacrifice O.
treasure, reared the very men who
are detamipg her.-DT. j. G. Holland

ORIGIN OF SALEM WITCHCRAFT.

circle OF young girls was formed in
Salem Farms, which met at the house
Of the Rev. Mr.. Paris, for the prac-
,tice sfpalmistry and fortune-telling,
necromancy, magic, and spiritu-
alism. In this circle there were ~
Elizabeth Paris, the minister's
daughter, aged nine years, whe at
first had leading part in the subse-
quent excitements, but was early re-
moved from them by her faith
er; (2) Abigail Williams, Parris's
niece, living in his house, aged eleven;
(3) Ann Putnam, aged twelve,
daughter Of the parish clerk and re-
corder, prominent man at the

teen, daughter of Jonathan Walcott,
Mr.. Parris's next-door neighbor; (5)
Mercy Lewis, seventeen; (6) Eliza

family of John Proctor, who was

and (10) Sarah Churchill, servant
in the family of George Jacobs, sr.
Her employer also became their
victim. With these ten, other
persons were drawn to act. There
were John Indian and Tituba,
two slaves of Mr.. Parris's, who prob
ably were brought to the colony from
the Barbados, and besides these, one
or two others; but the girls, with the
slaves, formed the circle, and were
the leading characters in the events
which have been a horror and mys-
terry eyer since they transpired. In
those events these girls were bold and

eyinced an utter absence of compunc.

French Eggs.

Inc enormous expectation of French
eggs to England led recently to an Off
clal investigation with the following re-
! suit as reported by the Pail Mall Gasette;
An impression prevails in some quar-
ters that by dipping hen in a pail of
| water and then chasing her around the
poultry, yard with q stick, she will be
induced on emergencies to lay two eggs
day. Consul Hotham, on the other
nand, IN nus commercial report on the
CALAIS for last year, expressed his opin-
ion that the whole secret of the liberaii.
ty OF egg-laying displayed by the French
hen lies in the quality of soil of those
districts in which hens are renowned for
their laying qualities. Attempts have.
ne SAYS, been not unfrequently made to
introduce French poultry into England,
under the impression that with proper
care and management these fowls muy
become O fair source of profit-so far, at
least, as eggs are concerned. A French
hen, however, removed from her native
soil, does not, as rule, behave herself
with that productive alacrity which dis
tlngulshes her in many, though not in
all parts OF France. This is accounted
for by the fact that in the neighborhood
OF Calais, as well as near Boulogne, there
exists O. marked quality of silex in the
soil, highly favorable for gg-laying pur.
poses, and when tho fowls are removed
from this particular soil there is mark
ed diminution in their laying propensi-
ties, At Amiens, again, the same quail
ty OF soil is found, and the poultry from
that district are remarkable for their
laying, qualities; they are, indeed, per-
haps the most celebrated layers in that
coun Try. If, therefore, the same breed
lay better in one part of France than
anotherIas, for instance, the fowls in
the neighborhood of Calais-it is not un.
reasonable to suppose that the change
OF soil is the principal cause of attempts
having hitherto failed to transplant the
French poultry into England for com
mercal purposes"
