GREELY ON LAwYERs.-"Mr. Greeley"
said Partridge, "this is Mr.. Denslow, q young
attorney" Greeley uttered a short grunt Of
recognition, but did not even look around.
I, embarrassed, shrunk away to one corner
and took q chair. He went on around the
room, looking at pictures and what not, and
in about FIVE minutes, when his back was
turned on me, and thought he had forgot
ten me, he suddenly, without looking at me,
said: "Hem! So you're an attorney, ase
you?' confessed it. II hate lawyers r he
exclaimed emphatically. II hate lawyers;
they do more mischief than their heads are
worth"
II suppose they are necessary evil"
suggested, deprecatingly::.
"Wholly unnecessary" he insisted. -
II suppose you will acknowledge" / said,
"that they promote good order and remove
impediments to good government"
"Just the contrary! just Che contrary he
squeaked, in his odd falsetto; "they cause
disorder, and they are the chief obstacles to
good government"
thought the man was crazy. perhaps
you will tell me-" I suggested, chow debts
would be collected without lawyers I"
"Don't want 'em collected don't want 'em
collected p he squeaked; "if A lets B have
his property without payments, 1 don't see
why G, D, E, F, and all the rest Of the al
phabet, should be called on to serve as po-
lice to get it back! No debt should be col
lected by law. It's monstrous! Let man
trust another at his own risk. Even a gam
bier pays his debts that he isn't legally
obliged to pay, and calls them debts Of hon.
or; but men will put their property out OF
their hands to prevent the legal collection Of
their grocery bills. Abolish all laws for the
collection Of debt and that would abolish
most of your lawyers-good riddance p

Position IN SLEEP.-A writer in the Chris
tian at Work insists that position in sleep is OF
great Importance. He says.
"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
fluid flow equally Oh. q level, and it requires
less power to propel themea level than up
ward. >
"The heart propels the blood to every part
of the body at each successive beat, and hls
easy to see that if the body is placed in hors
izontal position, the blood will be sent to the
various parts of the system with greater ease,
with less expenditure of power, and more per-
fectly than if one portion of the body we're
elevated above horizontal line. 4
eff one portion of the body is too low, the
blood does not return as readily as it is car
ried thither; hence, there is no accumulation
and distension, and pain follows.
"Ifa person gets to sleep with the head but
little lower than the body, be will soon
wake up or will die with appoplexy before
morning, because the blood could not get
back from the brain as fast as it was carried
to it.
"The savage uses log Of wood or bunch
of leaves, civilized man 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 and in
vigorated by the nutrimept it receives from
the blood during sleep, it is not fed sufficient
ly, and the result is unquiet sleep during the
night, waking up in WEAKNESS, without re-
freshment, to be followed by day of drowsi-
ness and discomfort, and general inactivity
of both mind and body"
