Treatment Of Sleeplessness.

So many persons suffer nowadays from
sleeplessnsss that every contribution to
the literature Of the subject is Of inter-
est. DR.. Ainslie Hollis, in the London
Practitioner, maintains that, although
the quantity of blood in the brain is
diminished during sleep, this diminuton
is not the sole cause of slumber, for we
NAV have the former without the latter.
One of the most efficient means of in
ducing natural sleep is the application
of mustard p~lasters to the abdomen.
Preyer, of Jena, advocates the admins.

lactate of aroda, or Of some milk or whey,

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 morphia is of
value, not only by relieving the pain but
by it's action in producing ansemia OF the
cerebra vessels. In the wakefulness due
to neuralgia, it is often better to inject
a small dose Of morphia hypodermi-
cally near the branch of the affected
nerve, than to administer it by the
mouth. It is doubtful whether the
bromides possess hypnotic properties.
although they undoubtedly oct as soda

may occasionally induce sleep.

The Japanese at Home.

Arriving ss we did from China, the
land Of pug-noses and yellow skins, we
we're at once struck with the fresh, rud-
DIV compilations, and in many instances
well-cut features of the Japanese. Be.
sides the difference in their personal
appearance, they offer a marked contrast
to the Chinese in manner and bearing.
In place of the cringing abject demeanor
of the latter, they carry themselves as
becomes men, fearlessly and upright,
look you straight in the face, and con
slider themselves inferior to none. The
latter class are a fine, bold set OF men.
Like knights of old, they are ever ready
to avenge q wrong, or evon to provoke a
quarrel; and with their terrible two
handed swords, would be anything but
contemptible antagonists in hand-to-
hand fighting. Their manners are pol
ished to the extreme. As a rule they
are exceedingly 'good.natured, and nave
q keen n of the ridiculous rather too
much 40 for We believe that If the
most dutiful son, possessed Of the great
est ilial piety, were to see his father
diving, he could not repress q laugh
if the old gentleman were to do SO in at
all a comical way. The Japanese ladies
are almost as air-skinned as their sisters
of the West. Small, but neatly-nay,
sometimes faultlessly-shaped; their
flowing robes displaying in their own
eracefulness the model that nature has
adopted, which none Of the meretricious
receptions of civilization "a improve
upon !: with pretty, captivating manners,
musical and soft as italian, the laughter
loving nymphs Of the rising sun have
many and powerful charms. No one
who has been in Japan will deny their
claim to beauty. Abbot.

The Land Of Temples.

Orissa has for twenty centuries been
the holy land of the Hindoos. Its San
skirt name, Ukala-desa, signifies "the
Glorious Country" tits "the land that
taketh away sin, " " the realm established
by the gods" "Its happy inhabitants
live secu1e of a reception into the world
of spirits; and even those who visit it,
and bathe in it's sacred rivers, obtain re-
mission of their sins, though they may
weigh like mountains" Orissa is di-
vided into four great religions of pill
grimage. From the moment the pilgrim
passes the Baitarani river, a hundred
miles from Puri, he treads on holy
ground. Behind him lies the world
with all its cares; before him spreads
the promised land, the place of prepare.
ton for heaven. On crossing the stream
he enters Jajpur, the City of Sacrifice,
sacred to Parvate, the wife of the all
destroying silva. To the southeast is
the region of pilgrimage sacred to the
sun, now scarcely visited. To the south
west is the region sacred to silva, with
it's city temples, which once numbered
seven thousand, grouped around the
holy lake. Beyond this, nearly due
south, is the region of pilgrimage be-
loved of Vishnu, known to every hamlet
throughout India, and to every civil
lized people upon earth, as the abode of
Jagannath, the Lord of the World.
Every town is filled with temples; every
village has its monastery; every hilltop
far up the mountain-sides is crowned
with shrine.-HGrper's MaQazsne.

Algeria at Paris.

This extract is from Edward Kings
letter in the Boston Journal: The e1-
hibition sent from Algeria is not 30 rich
in practical things as one might natur-
ally have expected. There is a goodly
show of minerals. The province of
Constantine seems to have been spec
tally drawn upon, as it is extremely
rich in indications of profitable min
eral veins. The clever people who are
working up the resources of this part of
Algeria have lavished money upon
geological maps, upon plans in relief,
and on statistics of mines already in
operation. At regular intervals, all
through the galleries, n comes upon
great trophies of native arms, some won
derfully rich, perhaps to-day worth
thousands of francs. Tobacco is dis
played in very large quantities. I fear it
is from Algeria that comes the material
for the wretched cigars which the gov
eminent monopoly is in the habit of in
ficting upon us. OF perfumes it appears
that the whole of Algeria is a vast nan
ufactory; two acres of g%eraniums, farmed
by the clever natives, and with the aid
of an inexpensive perfume distillery,
bring in a sum of 1900 francs, or 1859.
Why cannot geranium perfumes be
made in the United States? Algerian
fruits are of course very fine, and they
are here in enormous quantities. Wool
is another staple of the colony, but this
does not appear to possess any very
superior quality. The same cannot be
said of the wheat Of the province of
Constantine. The Algerians claim that
it is far better even than that of the fat
lands around Odessa. I observed but
little machinery in the whole Algerian
section worth even looking at, but I saw
a model of a fine railway car, such as
are in use in some of the provinces,
''constructed on an American plan;" and
the railroad bridges all seemed Ameri.
can in type. Of carpets there is simply
no end in this exhibition; some of them
contained as many as eight thousand
pieces, each piece having al original
shade of color. The objects of native
manufacture are infinite in variety. but
none are especially striking in form.
The potter les, not made on the potter's
wheel, but formed by hand from coarse
clay, are exceedingly rude. The Alger-
ians seem as clever in the use of the
bamboo and the rattan in making uten-
sils for domestic use, mats tubs, trunks,
everything from a needle to a saw-mill,
al the Chinese and the Japanese are,
and that is q high compliment.
There are Korans, inscriptions, affairs
of Eastern type, and prayer carpets
enough scattered around to make it evil
dent that the natives of Algeria are good
Mohammedans. But I have eve yet
seen any of the.,Arabs on duty at the vii
la-mosque going through the formula of
prayers. Perhaps they have all turned
in6dels, d~espairing of doing anything
like justice by their religion during
their long s%ojourn among the Franks.

A Year Ago.

We trod the clover blossoms under foot
beneath the hawthorn's scented summer snow,
We breathed the spicy air OF balmy June
Ayear ago.
We stood, Handicapped, beneath the orchid
boughs,
While twilight silvered the soft, whispering
wave;
We watched the falling stars OF summer nights
- :. - Ayear ago. :
We saw the winter sunrise flush the skies
And brighten all the crystal fairy-land;
We saw the crimson sunset stain the snow
Agar ago.
We saw the stars in winter splendor burn,
While a pale crescent trembled in the west;
And all the northern heavens were shot with
A year ago.
I walk the sodden sutumn ways alone,
While following leaves fall sadly. Are they those
Which robed with rose and gold the waving
woods
year ago?
I stand alone beneath the leaden skies,
Beside the sullen waves. Did their blue depths
And shining ripples give back mirth for mirth
Ayear ago?
IL Nature changed? or is the change in me?
Or Is oil change sum!4.d in that word ''alone?"
Or tlat dead past whose requiem is the moan,
year ago?

Together-hoping-loving. I remain,
Remembering love that ended. hope that died,

A Little Boys Frightful Fate.

A bright little fellow aged six and a
half years, named George Kraus, has
been in the habit lately of going over to
a tannery where his father was employ
ed. One day recently he went to the
tannery, and after greeting bis father,
went out into the lanyard. This was the
last time he was een alive. As has since
been developed, he inadvertently step
ped into q vat containing a strong solu-
ton of tannin liquor seven feet in depth.
The sharp biting fluid brought immedi-
ate Inconsistencies, and the child sank
to the bottom. When the parent came
along a Little later, the dark surface gave
40 Indication of his. sons fate. MI.
Kfaus stopped at that identical vat,
and threw into It seventy-four raw hides.
That night, when he went home, Geor-
aie was missing. Search was made for
him all through the house, and about
the ne,ghborhood. All efforts were, of
course, fruitless, and a night of misery
was passed by the distracted parents.
The next morning search was resumed,
and it was suggested that perhaps the
bow had been drowned in the canal. Ex-
haustive inquiry in this direction show
ed that such was not the case. The now
nearly frantic father went to the tannery
and began q systematic examination OF
the tannery premises. At two o'clock in
the afternoon be began on the vat In
which he had cast the hides on the day
before. One by one he pulled them out.
Sixty-two had been taken out when the
next lift brought the dead child to the
top. The father gave one despairing cry,
staggered forward, and would have fallen
in but for the strong arm of a bystander,
who, after laying the father, who had
tainted, on the ground, ished the corpse
out and had it conveyed to the family
residence. The little lad was a great
favorite with all who knew him, and will
be sadly missed Cincinnati CONNER

Sunlight and Health.

Sunlight is even more necessary 70
health in summer than in winter, for
one, among other reasons, that disin-
fectants of sll sorts are more necessary
in summer than in winter. The rays OF
heat quicken the vital powers, the
chemical rays exert their mysterious
and potent influence, and the Murnin-
ating rays, independently, of the others,
as has been recently proved by Mr:
Cooke to the satisfaction Of the ablest
scientists, communicate motion. The
exhalations from our bodies In warm
weather are more copious than they are
in cold weather, andif we shut out the
light from our houses we remove the
most efficient of all agents in destroying
what is unwholesome. The noxlous
vapors, which free admission OF air
and Light would remove, are absorbed
by carpets and upholstery, and become
productive of disease. Those who are
accustomed to the darkness and damp
ness of close rooms may not consciously
suffer therefrom, but that they sustain
real injury is evident in their paiiid
faces, their faccid muscles and nerveless
movements. The contrast between
them and those whose lives pass IN the
open air is too evident to need comment
It NAV not be necessary to expose dur-
ing the day every room in the q 70
the direct RAYS of the sun, but there
should be frequent opening OF doors ana
windows, 30 that the solar beam may

Anecdote OF Professor Henry.

We find this anecdote Of the late secre-
tary of the Smithsonian Institute in
Harper's Magazine: 81 met him."
writes a Boston friend, "but once at
Montreal. I noticed that this fue-look-
ing man, when he arrived at the hotel
in Montreal, was placed at the head of
our table, but did not know who he was.
he came home by the same route and
at the same time with US, and was very
kind and courteous to my travelling COM
panions as well as myself. What I re-
member more distinctly than anything
else was a happening at Rouse's
Point while we were waiting for the
steamer. The professor was laxative
and communicative in his quiet way,
and was full of Incidents of travel and
adventure. Soon the steamer appeared
in sight, and while she was approaching
us the professor sat upon the wharf
looking dreamily at her. Presently he
aroused himself, and said: Il see q
peculiar sparkle of tho waves near the
side of the steamer, where the sun shines
upon her Git vas almost sunset. Il
wonder what the cause of it is? I have
seen phosphorescent light before, but
never exactly like this. And see there
it is also upon the other, the darker side
of the steamer. Well, certainly, that is
very curious We looked, and indeed
t seemed remarkable. First upon the
bright side of the steamer, and then
upon the dark side, would appear these
curious flashes of light, and disappear
almost instantly. They seemed to conn
at regular intervals, and it was beautiful
as well IS strange. Our reveries were
rudely disturbed, however, by one OF
the customs inspectors approaching.

moment. Then saying, quietly, well,

A Mountain of Tin.

Tasmania, or Van Dieman's Land, the
large island to the south of Australia, ls
rapidly becoming noted for the quality
and extent of it's tin supplies. -Four
years ago the value of it's exports of tin
and tin ore wa $35, 600, while last year
they amounted to nearly 81, SOC, 900.
One of the most productive regions is
the Mount Bischof district, but this has
now been eclipsed by the discovery Of a
tin mountain at Mount Heemskirk, on
the west coast. The "wash-dirt" is
some twenty feet thick, and produces
about twenty-five per cent. of tin; but
the existence of solid seams of the metal,
traversing the mountains in veins several
feet in depth and width, has been de-
monstrated. Some nuggets" weigh
ing several hundredweight each have
been found, yielding nearly cent per
cent of pure metal. Mixed with the
tin, too, is o small quantity of gold,
about ten ounces to the ton, not sufi-
Gent in itself to render it worth seeking,
but adding considerably to the tin
miners profits.
