Daisies, ont there I'm the grass,
When will my darling pass?
Did you know that her flower sweet name
And yours IRE the same!
Lilies, in regalest state,
Think you VIC have long to wait!
Are You proud to be tit as you stand
To hold In her hand' ..
Violcts, under your hood,

The hint OF IL finer grace
Than yours in her face'

Thousands suffer from wakeful-

aminer, who are otherwise in good
health. To some Of them this be-
comes q habit, and too often a
growing one. Some resort to
soporiGc drugs, and this is how the
opium crave is often initiated.
Others find wine or spirits occa>
sionally efreciual, aud are thus in
duced TO take alcohol every night ;
and not a few, it is to be feared,
have in this way laid the foundation
of intemperance. There have, low
ever, never been wanting people
who have found a way Of going TO
sleep without resort to such meas
ures. The mcsmerists at one tine
we're popular, and from them a host
of people learned that looking at
any fixed point steadily would often
induce sleep. In The dark. however,
this is not so easy; but this difficulty
was not felt In Braidism, which
consisted merely in closing the ewes

visible, would inlailibly 500 fall

to succeed, and il is evidently the
same in principle as fixing the at.
tention on any single visible object.
Another plan has just reached us,
proposed hy an American physician
Or. Cookie, who tells us that in
numerous eases OF sleeplessness it is
only necessary TO breathe very slowly
aud quietly for a few minutes to Sc
cure a refreshing sleep. He thinks
hal most cases depend on hyper
emia of the brain, and that in This
slow breathing the blood supply is
lessened sufficiently 10 make an inns

is nnconfrollably active, and so pre-

from patients whose observations

have found they became more dis
posed 10 sleep by breathing slowly.
This supports DR.. Cookies practice,
but at other times bis plan quite
failed. 1t is certainly worth any
ones willie who is occasionally
sleepless TO give it a trial. In doing
so, they should breathe very quietly,

Forty Miles an -Four.

Forty miles an hour down Mount
Washington was quite enough to
take away a signal service officers
breath. Sergeant Cone had been
ordered from the summit to Wash,
ington. D. c., and after waiting
several days for clear weather, de-
cided to start last Sunday morning
with two companions. They had a
large sled, and intended TO follow
the track of the Mount Washington
railway TO the base of the mountain.
The party reached the level above
Jacobs Ladder in safety, bat owing
to the steepness of the remaining
slope, the sergeant's companion de-
cided to malt, and leave him to con-
tinue lis journey alone. With his
baggage strapped to the sled, be
made a fresh start /; but instead OF
proceeding at the former rate of
speed-twenty miles an hour-he
dashed down the mountain side
with a velocity OF at least forty
miles an hour. He soon lost his
balance. and was hurled n hum
bred feet headlong into the deep
snow. His companions reach ed
him as quickly as they could, and
then clambered down to the base Of
the mountain for assistance, and the
sergeant was finally carried TO
LittIeton on a litter.

The photograph is a simple in
vention by means Of which any one
may write in the dark with ease,
and is consequently a blessing to
those whose eyes are overwOrked,
1t may be made by a child. A
board Of smooth black walnut,
eleven inches in length by ten inches
10 width, has upon it a walnut frame
like a slate frame, somewhat smaller
than the board. Board and frame
are fastened together by small
hinges. From side to side Of the
frame are stretched sixteen small
brass wires, and ore can write be,
tween them, the wires serving moi
to guide the hand exactly, but TO
prevent the mnLiug together OF the
lines. 1t is best to use ordinary
soft paper and a lead pencil. The
paper is held in place by the frame,
which shuts down upon the board
as one side of a double slate shuts
upon the other. True, any one may
acquire the habit OF writing in the
dark without any such aid, bat this
monograph simplifes matters. There
are many who, from various causes,
find it impossible to write by a
bright light, and to them we econ
mend the use of the photograph.
