g Monkeys room" This is Darwin
going backward
Dogs, likewise, viii sleep at night if
they can cats, observe, are sleepy in
the morning, the reason being that the
gretches have been out all night, and, of
course, feel very seedy In the morning,
and doubtless their heads ache some
times and it serves them right if they
did, considering the row they make,
fighting and caterwauiing / have
strong reasons to think that my own
black cat is president of free and easy
club, for they hold their meetings among
the ruins of the Colosseum at the back
of my house. This regular " cattery."
All the stray cats in the Regents Park and
the neighborhood come here to arrange
family matters !; sometimes they come
into back cellar where / keep skele-
tons, casts, etc., and kindly supply me
with a fine lot of kittens, which I con-
vert into skeletons, casts, ETC. I confess
I do not know how to get rid of cater
wauling cats. Will any one tell us?
now venture to suggest a new but
simple remedy for want Of sleep. Opt
ates in any form, even the liquor opi5
aeddt., and chlorodyne, will leave traces
of their influence the next morning. /
therefore prescribe for myself and have
frequently done so for others onions !:
simply common onions raw, but Spanish
onions stewed will do. Everybody
knows the taste of onions; this is due to
a peculiar essential oil contained in this
most valuable and healthy root.
This oil has. / am sure. highly
soporifc powers. In my own case
they never fail. If I am much pressed
with work, and feel shall not sleep, I
eat two or three small onions, and the
effect is magical. Onions are also excel
lent things to eat when much exposed to
intense cold. Mr.. Parnaby, Troutdale
Fishery, Keswick, informs me that,
when collecting salmon and trout eggs
in the winter, he finds that common raw
onions enable him and his men to bear
the ice and cold of the semi-frozen water
much better than spirits, beer, etc. The
arctic expedition, just now about to start,
should therefore take good stock of
onions. Finally, if a person cannot
sleep, it is because the blood is in his
brain, not in his stomach; the remedy,
therefore, is obvious call the blood
down from the brain to the stomach.
This is to be done by eating biscuit,
hard boiled egg, bit of bread and
cheese, or something. Follow this up
with glass of wine or milk, Or even
water, and you will fall asleep, and will,
I trust, bless the name of-FTo1ak Buck

Another Fool Anxious to Break His
Neck.

Yesterday morning Mr.. j. r. Weston,
assisted by Mr.. Sam. Hall, completed the
difficult and perilous undertaking of
finging our national flag to tie breeze
from the top of the cross surrounding
the spire Of Holy Trinity Church, on
Fifth street, near Smith. Mr.. w. I'll.
Andrews, who, on the evening previous
undertook the task, was not able to get
above the large ball, just under the
cross, where he fixed the flag and came
down. Mr.. Weston went up yesterday
morning, before breakfast, and planted
the colors on the pinnacle, 264 feet
above the ground. He is a man of
nerve. Reaching point under the big
globe, he dextrously threw a rope around
hefoot of the cross above and twisting the
two ends of the rope into one, scaled this
insecure ladder over and upon the ball,
whence he mounted to the top of the
cross and fastened the staff and flag.
Then he commenced and finished in
safety the dangerous descent.
If permission can be had from the
proper authorities, Mr.. Weston proposes
to place flag on the tip of the fore
finger of the hand on the tallest spire in
the city, that of the First Presbyterian
Church, on Fourth street, near Main.
He is a professional steeple-climber,
having placed ightning-rods on the
Cathedral to the hight Of 225 feet; on
the First Presbyterian Church, 285 feet !;
on the Second Presbyterian Church,
Eighth and Elm streets, 205 feet on st.
George Church, Vine-street Hill 1.-TWO
spires). about 200 feet. and on
some twenty live other spires. He now
appears to be ready to decorate them
with flags. Cincinnati Commercial.

A Rumseller's Device.

A retired liquor dealer at Rutland, VT,
has explained an invention by which he
was often enabled to evade the officers of
the law. 1t consists of a tin case, hold
ing about three quarts, about two feet In
diameter and an inch thick, and curved
to fit the body. This was fastened by a
belt around the waist and worn beneath
the clothes in front, where it was entire
~ unnoticeable. To small opening at
the bottom was attached rubber tube,
coming out through hole IN the pocket,
and the vender could, at any time, draw
a glass Of whiskey from that receptacle.
It was first made use of on the fair
ground, and was found very convenient
afterward. The owner says he has sat at
his door and sold liquor while the officers
were searching his premises within.

A Youthful Genius.

A youthful inventor lately came to tenn
porary grief in Dubuque. Geo. K.
Thompson is a lad of Is, and has already
dedicated his life to machinery. His
father has given him corner of his
warehouse In the third story, and there
little George spends his time and brains
upon inventions. He has as yet pro-
duced nothing new, but shows wonderful
talent In construction and combination.
The other day he made noise in Du-
buque. There was an explosion in the
building and it was in little George
Thompson's corner. Itshook the house
like an earthquake, and there was some
anxiety felt for the safety of the youthful
machinist. He was found to be safe,
however, amid the wrecks of his labor
atory and machine-shop. A boiler he
had constructed out of tin cans had ex-
ploded. That was all. He had been
tampering too recklessly with the forces
of nature and nature had given him fair
warning that was all. Probably little
Geo. K. Thompson was spared to make
still bigger noise in the world.

Highly Magnetic Lightning Rod
PeddIer.

He drove his team close up to the
fence, got down and raped at the door.
The Widow Glkens opened it. when he
said " Mrs. Gilkens, l am cognizant of
the circumstances by which you are
at present surrounded, left as your are
to trudge down the journey of life
through cold and heartless world-no
longer sustained and encouraged by the
noble one to whom you gave the treas
ures of your hearts affection, and bowed
down by the manifold cares and respon-
sibili6es incidental to the rearing of
eight small children on forty acres of
subcarboniferous limestone land yet,
Mrs. Gllkens, you are aware that the
season is now approaching when dark,
dismal, dangerous clouds at frequent in

when zigzag streaks of electricity dart

self and those dear little ones-hence,
therefore, let me sell you copper wire,

ming rod.
The woman staggered back q few
PAGES and yelled: s'Narcisl unfasten old
Cronch!" In another instant a savage
bulldog came darting round the corner
of the house with bristles up, thirsting
for gore. The dog had already mangled
a machine agent and patent soap-man,
and was held in great esteem by the
better class of citizens for his courage
and service; but when his eye met the
hard, penetrating gaze of Mr.. Parsons,
his chops fell and he slinked off and hid
in the currant bushes. Then the man
said Ny lady, you seem to be a little
excited. CHOW if you will allow me to
explain the probable inestimable---
81 know something that will start we, :"
said Mrs. Gilkens, as she reached under
some bed clothing and brought forth a
horse pistol, but, owing to the shattered
condition of her nerves, her aim was un-
steady, and the charge of buckshot
missed, save where few scattered ones
struck his cheek and glanced off. A
hard metallic smile spread over his coun-
tenace, as he leaned his shoulder against
the door frame, and again commenced:
"My dear madame, such spasmodic
manifestations of your Discrimination to
make a judicious investment OF a few
paltry dollars
Hi-eow shrieked the widow, and
collapsed into kind of jerking swoon,
and before she had recovered highly

Sweeping Neatly.

It is surprising how few understand
this daily necessity, and in consequence
1t has become great dread, not only to
housekeepers themselves, but the entire
family.
Its object is to remove dirt and dust,
and not raise it in the air to settle again
over everything. There are various
ways for it's accomplishment many are
good, but of course can only give you
mine, which is as follows, choosing the
family sitting room for my illustration !:
The time, before breakfast if possible,
if not, after the children are off to school,
and your gentlemen at their various
places of business.
l. Protect your head from the dust,
and your hands with pair of old gloves.
2. Pick up everything that is out Of
place !; remove table covers !; cover your
lounge or sofa with a sheet, and other
articles that you can.
3. Take your dust-pan and broom, re-
moving the litter round the stove, work
table, and plant-stand.
A. Open at least two windows or doors,
move all articles from the wall, and af-
ter making the corners and edges of
JOltA C<'A POOo OAO"Il3 pun QUILL OIL UIC1C LII 4CO
place. Then take up carefully all the
dust you have dislodged, and then pro-
ceed with the center of the room. Do
not throw your broom high, but let your
motions be quiet, as well as thorough.
After the dust has well settled, begin
to dust, taking your stove, mantels, and
most exposed points first then remove
covers, and with feather buster (mine is
nice wing), make your window sashes,
door holdings, and picture frames tidy.
AS the finishing is essential, dampen
my broom, by sprinkEng with my hand
with clear water, and dust my carpet by
few delicate passes over it.
After many years of experiment, I
have adopted the above for my Mondays
sweeping, and find, with little care the
remainder of the week, keeps home at
least comfortable-Cor. Country Gentle
man.

THREE-CaRD MONTE.
BY W. a. cRoFFUr.

A sight to draw tears from boulder:
A cleS.1-i0oiSing lad
On the forward car had
Been scooped by man that was Older
very unprinclpled cad
7Tns hoary old sinner was sitting
With cards on his knee:
who plays monte with me?"
He asked as the pasteboards were fitting
g Who'll tell me which one OF the three?"
The parson that preached at Anota-
b. Jones is his name
Stood and looked at the game
Iae thought it was euehre or poker),
Aud loudly remarked, 9 It's shame!"s
Then he spoke as became his position,
And asked Monte to shun
The career he'd begun,
And escape from eternal perdition
BY returning the money he'd won.
L sight to draw tears from a statue:
That gambler had vowed
He would clean out the crowd,
And the good boy was penniless-that you
Gould learn as he blubbered aloud.
The old sinner tossed the cards under
And over and back
The ace, tray and jack
And they seemed te Jones, gazing in wonder,
The hveliest cards in the pack.
Three pasteboards the monte man huttered,
Nor lifted his phiz;
Kept right at his biz;
And the parson thought, rather than uttered,
"Now see where every card isl"
He whispered, {" My good lad, the winner
Must know what to do
See the trick through and through
Must be sharp I'll rebuke that old sinner,
And win back your money for you.
As the hardened old buffer was sitting
The parson could see
Every card ON his knee;
Again the bright pasteboards fitting
The jack and the ace and the three.
Jones put up his watch as a wager
Laid hand on the back
OF card in the pack
And said, Z" 'Tis the tray !" The old stager
Upturned it, and 10! twas the jack!
The good boy ceased his plaintive narration,
And smiled, as if glad
The unprincipled cad
Took the watch and got off at the station;
Jones gritted his teeth and was-sad.
For in low dive in a cellar
The cronies went down
te he saw the dice thrown,
And they drunk to % that artful old felIerr-
A sight to draw tears from stone.
Jones poured out his griefs to brother,
And soon it was known
~ Where his ticker had gone;
Parish Clipped in and bought him another,
Inscribed, Never travel alone :"
The monte twain keep their position:
The good little lad
And unprincipled cad;
Jones went to the Hottentot mission:
81 can't stand the heathen," he said.
