Rocking the Cradle.

The Philadelphia Ledger says: ssThe
mother that rocks and sings her child
to sleep is unconsciously illustrating
scientific principle. The heart and
the system of circulation are popularity
thought never to rest. But science
shows that under usual and fair condi-
tions their rest is perpetual. In other
words, by their rhythmic and measured
motion in health the organs of circula.
tion rest between each pulse-that is
to say, eight hours ont of the twenty
four, as has been calculated by COM
putting the pallses between the beats
Of the pulse. The monotonous rythm
of a simple cradle-song, and the gentle
motion of the r0cking-chair or cradle
are in harmony with the rythm of the
heart, and, the brain being disengaged,
sleep follows. The brain may be said
to be the part of the animal economy
which sleeps entirely. During healthy
sleep the brain is to a great degree
blO0dless, and this is shown indirectly
by the greater circulation Of the blood
in the skin and extremities during
sleep. Healthy digestion, after fair
ly full but not excessive meal, pro
notes sleep, by the calling off of the
blood from the brain to the stomach.
A CURIOUS but familiar illustration of
the accord between the heart move
ments and external measured sounds
or motions, is shown when the nurse
stops cumming and the troublesome
baby wakes straight up and provoking
ly opens it's staring eyes. The 'con-
cert is interrupted and the sleepy &C.
cord of the heart with the successive
cadences of the lullaby is broken.
This is why the cessation of usual
sounds will wake an adult sleeper. It
is even stated that soldiers who have
fallen asleep during a cannonade have
awakened when the noise suddenly
ceased -

To all, particularly lnvalids, spring
is trying season. Indications OF sickness
should at once be attended to- Fatal diseases
may be caused by allowing the bowels to be-
come constipated, and the system to remain
in disordered condition, until the disorder
has time to develop itself: An ounce Of pre-:
vention is worth pound of cure, is an old
and truthful saying. Therefore we advise
very prevalent headache, indigestion, dis
ordered liver, want Of appetite, nausea, or

Schenck's Mandrake Pills. We know Of no
remedy 80 harmless and decisive in it's actions

cine when they feel the first indications Of the

Catarrh is a common disease-so
common that snufing, splitting, and blowing
of the nose, meet us at every turn on the
street. Your foot slips in these nasty dis
charges on the sidewalk and in the public
conveyance; and its disagreeable odor, con-
terminating the breath Of the afflicted, rem
ders them offensive to their associates. There
is the highest medical authority for stating
those afflicted with Consumption of the
Lungs, the disease commences as Catarrh in
the nose or head, the next step being to the
throat and bronchial tubes-lastly to the
lungs. How important then to give early
and prompt attention to Catarrhl To cure
this loathsome disease correct the system by
using DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery,
which tones it up, cleanses the blood, and
tiuence upon them; and to assist, use: DR..
Sage,s Catarrh Remedy, with DR.. Pierce's
Nasal Douche. This is the only way to reach
the upper and back cavities where the dis
charge comes from. No danger from this
treatment. and it is pleasant to use. The
two medicines with instruments are sold by
dealers in medicines.

Mckee EOund Guilty

Much attention has been given to
the trial of VIM. Mckee, of st.
Louis, as one of the whisky con-
spiri:ors of that city. 1t took place
last week and the fore part of this.
Mr.. Mckee has long been . promi-
nent and influential man in Si.Louis,
having been formerly one of the
editors and proprietors of the old
st. Louis Democrat He also was
prominent in establishing the Globe,
and is now one OF the leading men
of the GlObe-Democrat. He has
been q very influential man in poll
tics, and it has frequently been
stated that he was one of the few
men who know how TO make poll
tics pay. Several witnesses connect
ed him directly with the members
of the notorious whisky ring of St.
Louis, and If stories are true Uncle
Billy, as he is fondly called by his
associates, at various times "salted
Down" a considerable pile of the
"rags of the realm" from his con-
nection with the "Illicit." His able
attorneys expected to rescue him by
breaking the testimony of the wit
nesses for the prosecution. This,
however, they failed to do to the
satisfaction of the jury. After a
long charge by Judge Dillon, which
was considered quite favorable for
Uncle Billy, the jury brought in a
verdict of guilty. This created some
surprise, but from all the testimony
and circumstances 1t is undoubted-
~ right. 1t looks as though even
wealth and position cannot save a
man from the relentless war made
upon the whisky thieves, and all re-
joice at this feature of the prosecu-
tion- 1t looks as though Uncle Bill
iy, though sly old deg, had been
caught, ana would be afforded q
further opportunity to cultivate the
society OF his Old friends and COM

Gar1ield's reply to the rebel Hill
In the House, was a crusher. 1t
made the Confederate army ia Con-
gress and their northern allies
squirm like impaled cells. Hill was
forced to explain that he did not
mean to say in his speech that rebel
prisoners had been cruelty treated
at Elmira or Chicago; he also pro-
tested against any further recount
ing of the horrors of AndersonVille
and declared that these things ought
to be buried in oblivion. This was
decidedly cool for man who had
devoted two hours to defending
the shameless barbarities practiced
there.

that was repealed at the almost uni
