SOUND SLEEP.-It ia wonderful how
much may be done to protract existence
by the habitual restorative of sound
sleep. Late hours under strain are of
course, incompatible with this solace-
ment. On this topic DIR. Richardson says
it has been painful for him to trace the
beginnings Of pulmonary consumption to
late hours at "unearthly balls and even.
ing parties, !" by which rest is broken and
Entertainments made on the constitrtio l.
But, he adds, "If in middle age the hab-
1t of taking deficient and irregular sleep
be maintained, every source of depression,
every latent form Of disease, is quickened
and intensified. The sleepless exhaus-
ton allies itself with all other processes
of exhaustion, or ii kills inperceptibly,
by rapid introduction of premature old
age, which leads directly to premature
dissolution" There, at once, il an ex-
PLANTATION why many people die earlier
than they ought to do. They violate the
primary principle Of taking Q regular
nights rest. II they sleep il is dis
tarked. They dream all sorts Of non-
sesss. That 10 30 say, they do not sleep
soundly. a. for any useful purpose: for
dreaming Ia nOshiax more fhaa Wild. i'm

BOrax.

"a Housekeeper" writes to the New
York AdUocate:
Having long used borax for various do
nestle and hysienic purposes, have
come to regard it as necessity. House
keepers who do not use it have some
thing yet to learn concerning very con-
venient and useful article. In the laun-
dry it is economical, as it saves both la
Dor and soap, and is really cheaper than
the latter. For blankets and other large
articles it 10 especially valuable, and in
all cases the use of little borax will
save half the labor when articles are
much soiled, while it is not injurious to
clothes. 1t is perfectly effectual in
driving away red ants, cockroaches, ETC.,
if sprinkled around on pantry shelves,
or put In small quantities on paper and
placed on the runways of the insects.
Borax is also of great value for toilet
uses. For removing dandruff and cleans
ing the hair 1t is unequaled. It 10 also q
good remedy for rough face and chapped
hands. Its application to wounds, cores,
bruises, sprains, etc., proves very sslu-
tary, and is often the only remedy re-
quired, even in severe cases. Indeed,
borax is one of the best remedies for
many ailments in our. whole hygiene, and
for that reason alone should be kept
ready for use when wanted. That pre-
pared by Smith Brothers is the best, and
can be obtained Of almost any grocer or
druggist. There are many other uses
for borax which ] need not specify, but
those I have mentioned are alone enouhg
to satisfy any family Of the value of the
article, and to all such, as we'll as those
who do not understand its properties,
repeat, keep borax in the house.

They were married in great splendor.

How Eggs are Preserved by q New
1t Process.

The egg traffic of this country has risen
to an importance which few comprehend.
The aggregate transactions in New York
city alone must amount to fully $8,000,-
900 per annum, and in the United States
to SIS, 100000. The perishable nature of
eggs has naturally detracted from their
value as q standard srticle of diet. The
peculiar excellence of eggs depends on
their freshness. But lately the process of
crystallizing has been resorted to, and by
this process the natural egg is converted
into vitreous substance of delicate
amber tint, in which form it 10 reduced
seven-eighths in bulk compared with
barrelled eggs, and retains Its properties
for years unimpaired in any climate. In
this form eggs may be transported, with
out injury, either to the Equator or the
Poles, and at any time can be restored to
their original condition by simply adding
the water which has been artifcially taken
away. The chief egg-dessicating COM
panies are in st. Louis and New York.
No salt or other extraneous matters are
introduced in the process Of crystallizing,
the product being simply q consoli dated
mixture Of the yolk and albumep. I'M
mense quantities of eggs are preserved
in the spring of the year by lining.
Thus treated, they are good for every
purpose except boiling. 1t is common
fraud for some dealers to palm off eggs
so treated as fresh, so that imposition is
easily practiced. In the dessicating pro-
cess, however, the difference becomes APP
parent, as from four to five more lined
eggs are required to make pound of eggs
crystallized than when fresh are used,
and eggs in the least tainted will not
crystalline at all.-Sanitarian, Nsw York,
October, 1877.

a district'in the north of England, arrived
at the door of an inn where a postman

girl came out 10 receive it, she turned it

price of postage. This was large sum,

CHAPTER II.


The Duke de Chimpanzee was chief of
a very large tribe. Ifhe had been in the
show business he would have made an
everlasting fortune. He had but one
daughter, the Lady Adeliza, and as she
would inherit the live stock over which
he ruled, youths ofthe neighboring tribes
desired to marry her. Her parents, how
ever, desired that she should be, if posi-
BILE, the fountain of new race, to which
all their traditions told them they were
working up. They determined that she
should wed the Prince d'Orang Outang.
The duke proposed the matter to the
prince.
"Awl" said the prince, as he adjusted
his eye-glass, sis it nicew
"She Is beautiful" said the duke.
"Awl" said the prince; "give it much
stamped"
81 shall give her all Ethiopia" replied
the duke.
"I will--aw--step down, and aw--look
at il" murmured the prince, carelessly.
"By surprise, you know"
This was agreed upon and the duke de-
parted.
The prince knew his worth. He was
quite white, and was not troubled with
the slightest particle of caudal appendage
but Ethiopia was q big prize, and he re-
solved to win it. One week after the
duke had offered his daughter, the prince
started for Senegambia with the intention
Of looking at the fair face of Adeliza.

The heavy triangular head, chsrae-

writhed and twisted and ratified
sharp notes Cf alarm as the rat kept
his sharp incisors at work, and before
the spectators could fairly compre-

The girl nor rests nor fingers.
But.sows from morn till night.
Her bright young taee is ssunken,
And fails her gentle breath
Her iair young form is shrunken,
To fit the robes of death.
And think OF the woodland shadows
That she has never seen;
OF the wonder Of song in the meadows,
When all the world il green.
But row the close lips quiyer,
The nlmblc hands are slow
The voice she dreams of ever
Rings out in the room below.
The mad young poet is singing.
With only q crust to eat;
But fountain Of light Is springing
Up from the narrow street.
And whether he sings In sorrow,
Or whether he sings In glee,
lie hopes thatthe world Tomorrow
VIII lis; to his melody.
And think though bis heart were burning
With words no mane'er said,
The world would BE- turning and turning
II tomorrow he were dead.
Only both late and early,
The girl, as maidens WIN,
Dreams when the voice comes clearly
Up TO her window-sill.
A brave face hath she found him,
a manner frank and gay.
And long ago has crowned him
With myrtle wreath OF bay.
A good sword changing loudly.
A plume on waving hair,
j cloak that drapes him proudly,
Such as the players wear.
So whether In glee or sadness
He sings, he has won the prize,
When he brings the light of gladness
To dying maiden's eyes.
