A NIGHTS REST.
Something About How to Sleep Comfort
ably and HealtnfulIy.

The food passes from the stomach at the
right side, hence its passage is facilitated by
going to sleep on the right side. Water and
other fluids flow equally on level, and it re-
quires less power to propel them on level
than upward. The heart propels the blood
to every part of the body at each successive
beat, and it is easy to see that If the body is
in horizontal position the blood will be sent
to the various parts of the system with
greater case, with less expenditure Of power,
and more perfectly than could possibly be
done if one portion OF the body were elevated
above horizontal line.
On the other hand. if one portion of the
body is too low, the blood does not return as
readily as it is carried thither hence, there
is an accumulation and distension, and pain
soon follows.
If person goes to sleep with the head but
a very little lower than the body, he will
either soon wake up, or will die with apo
plexy before the morning. simply because
the. blood could not get back from the brain
as fast as it was carried to it. If person
laws himself down on a level floor to sleep, a
portion of the head at least is lower than the
heart and discomfort is soon induced hence,
very properly the world over the head is
elevated during sleep.
The savage uses log of wood or bunch
of leaves; the civilized pillow; and if this
pillow is too. thick, raising the head too high,
there is not blood enough carried to the brain,
and as the brain is nourished, renewed, and
invigorated by the nutriment it receives from
the blood during sleep, it is not fed sufficient
ly, and the result is unquiet sleep during the
night, and waking up in WEAKNESS, without
refreshment, to be followed by day of
drowsiness, discomfort, and general inactiv-
ity of both mind and body.
The healthful mean is a pillow which. by
the pressure of the head, keeps it about four
inches above the level of the bed or mattrass; !;
nor should the pillow be so soft as to allow
the head to be buried in it and excite perspira-
ton, endangering ear-ache or cold in the
head on turning over. The pillow should be
hard enough to prevent the head sinking
more than about three inches.

Eternity.

ETERNITY has no gray hairs!" The flowers
fade, the heart withers, man grows old ano
dies, the world lies down in the sepulchre OF
ages, but time writes no wrinkles on the brow
of eternity. Eternity! stupendous thought;
The ever.present unborn, undecaying and
undying-the endless chain comprising the
life of God-the golden thread entwining the
destinies of the universe. Earth has its beau
ties; but time shrouds them for the grave !;
its honors, they are but sunshine OF an hour;
its palaces, they FIRE but as the gllded sepuicnre
it's possessions, they a.e the toys of changing
fortunes; its pleasures, they are but bursting
bubbles. Not so In the untried bourne. In the
dwelling of the Almighty can come no foot
steps of decay. Its day will know no dark
ening-eternal splendors forbid the approach
of night. Its fountains will never fail-they
are fresh from the eternal throne. Its glories
will never wane, for there is the ever present
Gcd. Its harmonies will never cease-ex-
haustless love supplies the song.

Mixed Babies.

Some time ago there was dancing party
given in q certain neighborhood in Texas and
most of the ladies present had little babes,
whose noisy perversity required too much at
tention to permit their mothers to enjoy the
dance. A number of gallant young men
volunteered to mind the young ones while
the parents indulged III an old Virginia break
down. No sooner had the women left the
badies in ehAlge of the mischievous devils
than they stripped the babies. chang,
esd tAesf clothes giving the apparel
of ore to another. The dance over
it was time to go home, and the
Hethers hurriedly took each a baby in the
dress of her own and started, some to their
homes, ten or fifteen miles off, and were far
on their way before daylight But the day
following there was q tremendous row in the
settlement. Mothers discovered that single
night had changed the sex of their babies,
observation disclosed physical phenomena,
and then commenced the tallest female pedes-
trianism. Living miles apart, it required two
or three days to unmix the babies and as
many months to restore the mothers to their
natural sweet disposition. To this day it is
unsafe. for any of the baby mixers to venture
into the neighbofhOod.

1t is supposed that Mercury has mountains

The earth is 479 times smaller than Saturn,
and its mean distance from Us is about 49,
600, 900 miles.
Uranus can never see us at all, as it is
!, 1,753, 600, 900 miles from the sun.
The temperature of Mercury is supposed to
be seven times warmer than our torrid zone !;
therefore, if it is inhabited, it must be by
peup.e very differently constituted from our.
selves.
It Is believed that Venus has an atmos-
phere much like ours, and mountain peaks
five or six times higher than the Teneritf1e,
their sides bright with flowers, and birds OF
brilliant plumage.
The moon never leaves our globe; there
fore it is called our satellite. Though to US it
appears larger than the stars, yet in reality it
is smaller than any of them, but much nearer
to us.
Astronmers have calculated that the
mountains and extinct volcanoes on the moon
are higher than any on our earth.
If there were any on the moon to see 1t,
the earth would appear to then, magnificent
ball. The planets and sun would move be-
hind it in brilliant succession.

Self.Cure for Inebriety.

A person afflicted with this disease can easi-
ly supply himself with the remedies used at
nearly all the inebriate asylums and be his
own physician at his own home, without the
necessary expense and publicity of visiting the
Washingtonian home or any other retorma-
tory institution. His laboratory need contain
only small quantity of cayenne peper, pot
of concentrated extract of beef, and few
grains of bromide of potassium. When the
desire for alcoholic drinks recurs, make tea
from the cayenne pepper. as strong as can be
taken with any degree of comfort, sweeten it
with milk and sugar, and drink. This tea
will supply the same place that glass OF llq-
uor would fill, and will leave no Injurious et-
feet behind Repeat daily as often IS the ap-
petite returns, !: will be but a few days before
the sufferer will have become disgusted with
the taste of the pepper, and with the appear
ance of this disgust disappears the love OF hq-
uor. The fact is proven every day. The ex-
tract of beef is to be made into beef tea, accor-
ding to the directions on the pot, in quanti-
ties as may be needed for the time being, and
furnishes cheap, easily digested and healthy
nutriment, it being Ito lay on the stomach
when heavier articles of food would be reject

carefully and only in case of extreme nerv-
business, the dose being from fiftee n to twenty
grains, dissolved in water. This is public

at the inebriate asylums. In addition thereto

1t has always been subject of curiosity
and inquiry as to how and where prairie
dogs, living on the prairie fer away from any
river or stream, obtain their water. Mr. +:
Leech, formerly of Mercer county, Pa. and
a frontiersman of experience, asserts that
the dogs dig their own wells, each village
having one with concealed opening. 1t
the dogs will keep on digging until they reach
it. He knows of one such well 200 feet deep,
and having circular staircase leading down
to the water. Every time dog wants Q
drink he descends the staircase, which, con-
sidering the distance, is no mean task. In
digging for water the animals display as
much pluck as in resisting the efforts OF set-
tiers to expel them from the land of their
progenitors.

The Tool Chest as an Educator Of Youth
and a Source Of Pleasure.
from the Rural New Yorker ]

Buy tools for your boys, and if you have
no boys, buy tools for your girls. 1t will not
harm any girl to learn to drive nail or saw
a board and do it we'll, and if she knows how,
she will, without any doubt, many times find
it convenient, no matter what may be her
fortune in life. For every one, it will be
great advantage to cultivate mechanical skill
no one has too much of it. Nothing will be
handler or be acceptable on more occasions
than to know how to use few common
tools. To begin with, the outfit need not
cost over ten dollars, but we will say twenty
five dollars. For this he may buy square,
a jack-plane, a smoothing-plane, hand-ax, a
hammer, draw-shave, some dividers, Bit
stock and half dozen bits, half dozen
chisels, bench-screw, small bench he can
make few files, milestone, hand-saw,
a rip-saw, screw-driver. Then with the
rest of the twenty-five dollars he can buy
little wire, an assortment of screws, few of
kind, and assortmentof nails, and small
quantity of pieces of boards of various dimen-
sions. The tools should be of good quality.
In little time some of these will be lost or
broken, but what of it So is money lost
and thrown away. 1t is profitable training
for every one to learn how to use money
properly. To learn, they need to begin early
under good instructions. Twenty-Five dollars
in money may be spent in thousand ways
for things which will do less good than the
tools. Although this may seem to some
large amount to pay for tools, twenty-five
dollars would be considered small item as
an inheritance for young man. Then buy
the children some tools and they will learn to
make many plythings for themselves, and be
less likely to get into bad company. They
will be happier, wiser, better; they will have
stronger attachment for home, and a
greater love for parents, and these are a
priceless fortune to any young man or woman,
a fortune which cannot be lost by any failure
of banks or depreciation in real estate.

ReNl Brown Bread.

A writer in Nature discusses the compare
tive nutritive qualities of bread he says:
We shall find it impossible to make, by means
of leaven or yeast, light, spongy LOAF from
whole wheat finely ground, the so-called GER
calm of the bran inducing chemical CHANGES
which result in moist, clammy, dense pro-
duct. Even whole wheat merely crushed into
meal. and not ground, partakes OF the same
defect. Fine -four en- the other hand, yields
bread which is light enough before mastl-
cation, but which, when masticated, possesses
u marked tendency to become ccmpacted INTO
dense humps which may never be penetrated
by the gastric and intestinal Juices, Nnd which
are freQent cause of constipatica. Wh0le-
some meal bread cannot be cAaEged with this
defect; indeed it acts intellectually as laxa-
tive, and by reason of its MECHANICAL texture
Is buried rather too quickly along the dlges-
tive tract, 90 that the fun virtue OF such OF It's
nutrients as are really soluble becomes in part
lost. Yet there is no doubt that Tor many
persons, especially for those who have passed
middle age and are engaged in eedenotary
occupations, ole-wheaten meal in the form
of bread, biscuits, scones, ETC., form an IN
valuable diet. If we could reckon all the nitro
genous matter in whole meal bread as equally
effective with that contained in white bread,
we should possess in the former far more
perfectly adjusted food; for the ratio OF flesh
formers to heat-giyers is about to y IN
white bread, while it approaches to 4 IN
some samples, At least, of whole meal bread
Add to this the higher proportion Of pnoe-
pilates in the latter. and It's chemical superl-
ority over white bread becomes still more
marked; its flavor. too. IS far richer. Ordi.
narily brown bread IS poor preparation q
the best. BY adding dash OF rather rough
bran to flour we do not obtain satisfactory
or rich product; analysis demonstrates this
fact clearly.
