insists that position in sleep is d
great Importance. He says:
Tie food passes from tbs stomach
at the right side, hence IFS passage
IS facilitated BY going 10 sleep on the
right side. Water and other fluids
flow equally on level, and it re
qnnes less power to propel them on q
level than upward.
s.Ihe heart propels the blood to
every part q the body at each sue

ii the body is placed in a horizontal
position the blood will be sent to the
variosss parts Of the system with
greater ease, with less expenditure Of
power. and more perfectly than ii one
portion Of the body were elevated
above horizontal line.

BIRTHDAY HONORs.
Medal Presentation to Chief AtAy.

To-day at noon, when the police
force mustered to answer roll-call, a
very pleasant episode occurred. 1t is
the anniverSaryofth fOrty-third birth
day of Chief Philip R. Athy, and his
surviving comrades of last summers
scourge decided on cOmmemOrating
the occasion in bcftting style.
There are nineteen persons in all,
with the chief, who labOrod together
during the plague aud who still sur
vive, on the police force. They put
their heads together, eighteen did,
and fixed the matter up yesterday
forenoon.
At about the midday hour an order
was conveyed to Messrs. G. L. Byrd
& Co., the accomplished jewellers, to
prepare a suitable medal of gold for
the occasion, the same to be ready by
noon to-day. The work was completed
in due time, and a handsome job it is.
The medal is circular in form, a little
larger than a ten dollar gold piece, and
it is exquisite in style, appearance and
finish. A raised star adorns the cen
ter on one side, and around the star is
a wreath of green, garnished with
colored flowers. An inscription is
also within a wreath on the oppo-
site side of the medal which reads,
=" Presented to p. R. Athy by his sur
viving members Of the police force as
a token of regard" An eagle of
chased gold with outspread wings is
attached to the medal. Above this is
three links and a bar of gold to which
is an attachment pin. The testimo-
NAL is extremely beautiful, and as a
specimen of workmanship reflects
credit on the house of G.. L. Byrd &
Co., whose reputation is widely popular
for taste in the design and execution
of handsome medals.
The souvenir was presented with a
few appropriate remarks by Captain
w. C. Davis, his fellow-oficer stand
ing neal to witness the proceedings.
The chief received the token with
becoming mOdesty and made a few
remarks by way of returning thanks
for the honor.
