treatment of SleepIessne s !.

So many persons suffer nowadays from
sleeplessness that every contribution to
the literature of the subject is of inter
est. DIR. Ainslie Hollis, in the London
Practitioner, maintains that, although
the quantity of blood in the brain is
diminished during sleep, this diminution
is not the sole cause OF slumber, for we
may have the former without the latter.
One of the most efficient means of in
ducing natural sleep is the application
of mustard plasters to the abdomen.
Preyer, of jena, advocates the adminis-
tration of a freshly made solution OF
lactate of aroda, or of some milk or whey,
on the hypothesis that sleep may be in
duced by the introduction of the fatigue,
products of the body. The alkalies and
alkaline earths are useful when acid

apartment with water lessons irrltant
properties of the air, adding much to
the comfort of the sleepers; possibly the
quantity of ozone is at the same time
increased. When sleep is broken by
severe pain, opium or morphla is OF
value, not only by relieving the pain bnt
by its action in producing an@mia OF the
cerebra vessels. In the wakefulness due
to neuralgia. it is often better to inieet
small dose of morphia hypodermi
cally near the branch of the affected
nerve. than to administer it by tbs
mouth. It is doubtful whether tfie
bromides possess hypnotic properties
although they undoubtedly act as seda@
tives on the nervous system, and as sucls
may occasional - induce sleep.

Words of Wisdom.

A good cause makes stout heart.
Progress is born of doubt and anxiety.
Candid thoughts are always valuable.
A wounded reputation is seldom
cured.
Hope is a good breakfast, but bad
supper.
He who can take advice is sometimes
superior to him who gives it.
Method is the hinge of business, and
there is no method without order and
punctuality.
Some of the grandest things which
have bet4 achieved were by those whom
we thought our interiors.
Education is friend at home, an in
PRODUCTION abroad, an ornament to
society, and solace in solitude.
The tallest trees are most in the
power of the winds, and ambitious men
of the cyclones of failure, disaster and
business reverses.
Man, being essentially active, must
find in activity his Joy, as well as his
beauty and glory, and labor, like every
thing else that is good, is its own
reward.
He that does good to another man
also does 1t to himself, not only in the
consequence, but in the very act of
doing it, for the consciousness of well
doing is an ample reward.

IT have Just come from the sick-bed
Of Miss Laura De Neale," said I.
He stared, made q gesture with his
hand across his brow, as if to shade his
eyes, and his lips worked.
"I heard-thst she was i'll, }" he said,
slowly; ''I am just recovering from sick
ness myself"
"I think, sir, from what 1 heard, you
are laboring under a mistaken idea"
began, rapidly, for fear of my resolu-
tion giving way. "You have been
wrongly informed with regard to Miss
Laura, and in her delirium she revealed
her secret. Her cousin Philip Lansing
married poor West India girl in Bar
BADGES. He is his uncle's heir, but, if
the latter hears of this union, he will
disinherit Mr.. Philip, who is entirely
dependent. So her cousin made Miss
Laura promise to keep it secret, and it
was her, the poor homesick stranger,
Miss Laura has visited by stealth-it was
her she sent your lilies TO. o sir you
are minister, and am poor girl, but
you never should have doubted my Miss
Laura, I do dare say that"
He stopped me with O quick uplifting
of the hand. He did not say one word,
but never shall forget the face he turn
ed toward me. never saw a counten-
ance change 30 often in q few seconds as
his did.
"My good girl, my good friend I" he
said, at last, seizing my hand, and his
voice was music itself. 1 knew then all
was right. Joy had restored him to his
old self; there was no need of that voy-
age to Europe.
After a full minute of silence he
asked:
"How is she now ? how did you leave
herP''
"They thought she was better"
"Thank God Tor that When may I
see herr" He was very humble now.
"I will let you know" said, and
hurried home to her with heart as
light as feather.
And so it came to pass that one day, as
she sat supported by pillows, white and
shadowy, and more beautiful than she
had ever been before in her brightest
bloom, told her that the rector of ST.
Paul's was below stairs, waiting to see
her.
A faint flush tinged her cheeks-a
tender smile curved her lips.

pressure of his hand meant as he bade
