A Nights Rest.

The food passes from the stomach at
the right side, hence it's passage is facili-
tated by going to sleep on the right
side Water and other fluids flow
equally on level, and it requires less
power to propel them on level than
upward. The heart propels the blood
to every part OF the body at each sue
cessive beat, and it is easy to see that
if the body is in a horizontal position
the blood will be sent to the various
parts of the system with greater ease,
with less expenditure of power, and
more perfectly than could possibly be
done if one portion of the body were
elevated above a horizontal line.
On the other nand, 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 dis
tention, and pain soon follows.
If person goes to sleep with the
head but very little lower than the
body, he will either soon wake up or
will die of apoplexy before morning
simply because the blood could not get
back from the brain as fast as it was
carried to it. If a person lays himself
down on 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 a
bunch Of leaves; the civilized the pill
low; and if this pillow is too thick, rails
ing the head too high, there is not blood
enough carried to the brain, and as the
brain is nourished, renewed, and invig-
Grated by the nutriment it receives
from the blood during sleep, it is not
fed sufficiently, and the result is unqui-
ct sleep during the night, and waking
! up in weariness, without refreshment,

Coal Oil Johnnie.
Detroit News

Coal Oil Johnnie" who made HIM
self as well known in Detroit as in any
other town he entered, was the son Of a
poor farmer in Pithole, Pa, and his
real name was Steele, The miserable
farm which had never yielded the fam
lily subsistence, proved to be one of
the richest oil locations in Pennsylva-
MA, and when Johnnie arrived at man
hood he found himself an orphan in
possession of fortune of some $2,500,-
600, which he commenced to fling away
hand and helped him to get through
with a good share of it in the maddest
excitement of gambling, riot and fast
life. Coal Oil Johnnie used to think
he never could get to the end of his
pile He would sit down and calculate
the thousands he owned, and swear he
could never get rid of it. He did,
though, in little more than two years,
and now he is station agent on the
Atlantic and Great Western Railroad.
Rose tells some characteristic stories
of his champion with whom he travelled
all over the continent, wherever sport
and excitement were to be had. Once,
when sitting with Steele and Murphy, a
variety actor, who used to play at Bel
ler's place on Randolph street, tele-
gram came for Steele. Murphy took
it and opened it. The dispatch was
from Hartford, Conn.,, and read: Given
ty thousand dollars here to your order
What shall we do with it?' Coal Oil
Johnnie refused to take the dispatch
after Murphy handed it to him:
Write EN- an answer, telling EN-
that if l don't call for it in five years to
give it to an orphan asylum, said the
magnificent spendthrift.
Two years later Johnnie called for
the money. He had spent all but that
sum, and it only served to keep him in
dissipation for few weeks
Rose had at that time something ov-
er $4,000 that he had acquired himself,
and felt entitled to travel on a footing
with this remarkable fool. Once John
ME got on a spree in Detroit He went
to a house on Macomb street, and to
make the orgie sensational, completely
destroyed a $3.50 piano, by stamping it
in with his feet. The next day he sent
the owner a $500 'Steinway. In Phila-
delphia he saw pair of horses being
harnessed in livery stable and wanted
to drive them. The stable-keeper re-
fused, as the horses belonged to anoth-
er party, who boarded them, but who
would sell them for 81 1000 Johnnie
paid the money, drove the horses furi-
ously for two hours, and then sold them
to the scolored coachman for a dollar
bill. Lighting cigars with 500 notes
was favorite diversion. He was char
liable and generous with all his profit
gacy, and often did much good with his
money.

Those who expect to plant hedge
fence in the spring would do well to
break the hedgerow now. Ten or
twelve feet wide will be found sufficient.
Leave the dead-furrow in the middle,
and next spring before planting rebreak,
throwing the dirt to the centre. Com
pletely pulverize, then roll, and at the
proper time you can set your plants.
Cultivate well, and at three years old
your fence will protect your crops.

HARVEST HYMN.

Once more the liberal year laughs out
Ger richer stores than gems or gold;
Once more with harvest song or shout
Is natures bloOdess triumph told.
Our common mother rests and sings.
Like Ruth among her garnercd sheaves;
Her lap is full of gOodly things,
Her brow is bright with autumn leaves.
O, favOrs old, yet ever new!
o, blessing with the sunshine sent.
The bounty Overruns our due,
The fullness sbames our discomfort.
We shut our eyes, the flowers bloom on:
We murmur, but the corn ears fill:
We curse the shadow, but the sun
That casts it shines behind us still.
God gives us with our rugged soil
The power to make 1t Eden fair,
And richer fruit to crown our toll
Than summer welded islands bear.
Who murmurs at his lot to-day?
Who scOrns his native fruit and bloom,
Or sighs for dainties far away,
Besides the bOunteous boards of home?
Thank Heaven, instead, that Freedoms arm
Can change n rocky soil to gold:
That brave and generous lives can warm
A cline with northern ices cold.
And by these affairs wreathed with flowers,
And fields of fruit, awake again
Thanksgiving for the golden hours,
4. The early and the latter rain.

A method of preserving fruit very
commonly practised in the rural dis
tricts of Hungary is strongly recon-
mended, as giving very satisfactory re-
suits. 1t consists simply in piling up
the fruit in pyramids on bed of straw
in dry place, and covering them over
with thick layer of the same material,
and dry sandy soil over all Fruit thus
protected in autumn will keep sound
and fresh till the following spring.

to be followed by day of drowsiness,
discomfort, and general inactivity Of
both mind and body.
The healthful mean is pillow which,
by the pressure Of the head, keeps it
about four inches above the level of the
bed or mattress; nor should the pillow
be SO soft as to allow the head to be
buried in it and excite perspiration, en-
dangering ear-ache or cold in the head
on turning over The pillow should be
hard enough to prevent the head sink
ing more than about three inches.

The Versatile Inventor.
Virginia City, New, Chronicle.

Thomas Edison, the great inventor,
is in the city. Last night he spent
most of his time in the Office of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
looking over the inner works of the es-
tablishment. Graphy had him in charge,
and when he was ushered in and intro
duced there was a commotion among
the operators, who crowded around to
greet the king of electricians and the
inventor of so many instruments used
by them daily.
Edison at once began to look over
the arrangements of the Office and test
the workings of the instruments, every
now and then correcting some trihing
error or calling the attention of those
about him to the fact that this or that
change might be made to advantage.
There was no air of superiority OBJ
servable in Edison. From the moment
of his arrival he was with the operators
as one of themselves, chatting pleasant
ly, cracking jokes, and moving about as
if he had been in the office for years,
He was the worst dressed man in the
room by all odds. An old black hat, a
cheap shirt with stud holes in the bosom
unoccupled, a two-bit neck-tie several
months old, coarse pants and vest, and
mouse -colored linen duster, completed
his attire.
One of the boys asked him to put his
name in an autograph album. He
wrote line that looked like print, and
fixed his name at the bottom. Every
body admired the marvellous penman-
ship, which was emphatically a new
style. The letters were awkwardly
made, taken singly, but when grouped
in a line all looked exactly alike, as if
engraved on copper plate.
"You couldn't take thirty words a
minute and print like that" said one.
" | can take forty
Have you any objections to doing
it?"
Not the slightest" was the reply.
The fastest operator present took one
end of wire, and Edison, sitting at the
receiver, picked up sheet of paper
and said, Let the message come. The
clicks began to pour in as thick and fast
as rain patters on u roof, and Edison
began to write. He sat there three
minutes and took one hundred and thir-
ty words with apparent ease, doing bet
ter than he had promised. The dis
patch was written in the faultless hand
that graced the autograph album. The
paper was filed away among the cher
ished curiosities.

Judging from the cable dispatches, the
Pail Mall Gazette is unnecessarily alarmed
at the letter of Secretary Evarts to Minister
Welsh. That document, which has scarcely
been read in this country, is construed by
the Gazette as menace to England, coming
at time when she is otherwise seriously en-
barrassed with other powers. How absurd
this alarm is the people on this side of the
Atlantic realize. We pre- sumo that there are
not thousand persons in the country out
side of telegraph operators and proof-read-
ers who have taken the trouble to read Mr.
Evarts' screed. They read it because thew
were obliged to do SO; the rest of the COM
munity didn't read it because there was no
compulsion about it.
The grievance of this government is a verv
simple one, and can be recited in one. tenth
of the space occupied by Mr.. Evarts. The
commission appointed by the two govern
ments under the treaty of Washington to adj
just the dispute arising from the trespasses
of American fishermen upon Canadian fish
ing waters heard both sides of the story and
gave verdict ip favor Of Canada amounting

In closing their Office at Washington for
the campaign the Republican committee
state that they have assessed governments en-
ployes but one per cent, whereas they were
formerly called on for two per cent. of their
salaries. When assessed they were notified
that their contributions would be- entirely
voluntary, the officers say; and when they did
not respond they were again notified. With
but few exceptions, all called on have re-
sponded. If others of the party had done
quarter SO we'll as the ofice-holders, there
would have been no complaint of want of
funds. Though it was not so stated, it is
generally understood that during the cam
paign the department clerks have been called
on twice for one per cent. of their salaries,
and some of them three times. The policy
of beating the poor out of what they have, it
will thus be seen, is still the cardinal princi
pie of the Republican party.
