Cause and Cure Of Snoring.

A writer in the Scientific Monthly
tells how the habit of snoring is ac-
quired, and-better still how it may be
cured.
"And, first, the cause: The air reaches
the lungs through two channels, the
nose and the mouth. The two currents
meet in the throat below the soft pal
ate, the end of which hangs loose and
swings backward and forward, produc-
ing the snoring. If the air reaches the
lungs, as it should, through the nose, no
noise will be made. If it reaches the
same through the mouth, the palate will
make more noise, since it is not the
natural channel, but when it rushes
through both of these channels then it
is that the sound sleeper banishes rest
from the pillows of his companions by
his hideous noise. The remedy for snor-
ing is to keep the mouth closed; and
for this purpose DR.. Wyeth,
the writer of the article re-
ferred to, has invented an article 70
cheap that anyone can make it, and no
snorer should be without it. It consists
of a single cap, fitting the head snugly,
and piece of soft material fitting the
chin. These are connected by elastic
webbing, which is connected with the
head-cap near the ears. This contriv-
ance prevents the jaw from dropping
down, and thereby rendering snoring
impossible. The great trouble will be
get people to adopt this invention, since
the most upright and honest of men
and women viii rarely, if ever, confess
that they snore, and will be very indig-
nant il accused of it. As a further in
jucement to the introduction of the
contrivance of DIR. Wyeth, it may be
added that breathing through the mouth
is very detrimental to the health, and
that many diseases of the throat or
lungs are contacted or aggravated

Migration TO the West.

Taking the land sales of the whole
period since 1873, the year of the panic,
when the fall of prices and the scarcity
of work in the East set people here to
thinking about going West, it would
appear that more than 2,500,000 people
have taken up homes in the West and
South in the past five years. Of this
number, not over 100000 can possibly
have been supplied by foreign immigra-
ton, the rest of the total of $4,000
immigrants in those years remaining in
the East or in towns and cities of the
Pacific coast. At least 1886, 900 people
have, therefore, gone from the East and
from Virginia and Kentucky, in the last
five years; over 100000 during 1878.
There is no mistake about the fact that
times have grown easier. There is less
labor unemployed, and there is larger
consumption of manufactured goods.
This migration to the new States would
alone have been the means of produc-
ing this result, even if it had had no
material aid from any other source.
The regions to which the migrators
principally went in 1878 are Texas, Kan
sas, Dakota, Nebraska, Minnesota, and
California, in the order named; but
some have gone to Florida, Arkansas,
Colorado, Iowa, New Mexico, and the
regions beyond the Rocky mountains.
Nebraska gained 100000 of these new
settlers during 1878. Gov. Pillsbury,
of Minnesota, writes that his State
gained $4,000. Kansas gained proba-
bly, 125,00O. The Arkansas valley in Kan
sas alone gained $4,000 settlers in 1878.
The eminence of Kansas in wheat-pro-
duction in 1878 is due to the immigra-
ton of previous years, and such has
been the rush this year that the posi-
tion of Kansas as the banner State in
wheat seems guaranteed for some time
to come. While Kansas gained 125,000
of new settlers in 1878, it is estimated
that Dakota did the same, the rush to
that region being, of course, due large
ly to the mining excitement, although
not exclusively. Texas claims to have
gained half million during 1878, but
there is no proof that the influx to the
State was more than 100000 at the very
outside. The movement te Florida and
other regions was small.-NetU York

The Man Who Had Dyspepsia.

There came TO the dinner-table at the
Lawrence House, the other day, two
strangers, one lean and hungry-look-
ing customer, the other decent-ap-
pearing young fellow. As they reached
the table the older man clutched fran
tically at the bill of fare, and remarked
as follows:
Lets see what they got. You know
/ cant eat anything. Been nearly dead
for ten weeks with the dyspepsia. Ali
oyster soup'-guess that won't hurt
me-" To waiter: Bring me some
oyster soup, and, let's see, boiled white
fish yes, I'll have some O. that"
The soup and fish were rapidly eaten.
"Now, let's see what else they've got; (;
you know can't eat everything. Roast
tunkey'-that ought not to hurt me. Ill
have some O. that. Roast beef'-yes,
I'll have some O. that. Chicken pot
pie'-yes, that's easily digested; I'll
have some. Lets see, L can't eat every
thing, Ill take bit of the boiled ham,
some macaroni, and -ah some chicken
hvers and vegetables"
The waiter had taken the order, and
the man with weak stomach reached
this way for crackers, that way for but
ter, here took piece of bread, there a
pickle and stalk of celery, and, fre-
quently remarking that he couldn't eat
everything, stayed his stomach until his
dinner was brought. He looked it
over, sent the waiter back for some
roast veal and another onion, remark
ing that his stomach was weak, he had
been suffering terribly from dyspepsia
and couldn't eat everything, but al
last got to work and cleared the dishes
The matter of dessert troubled hin
some because his stomach was so weak
but he finally called for some mince pie
plum pudding, and ice-cream, with I
cup of coffee. They were brought ant
devoured, and then he called the waite
and made her confidential communica
ton to the effect that he had been sicl
with dyspepsia, that his stomach wa
weak, he couldn't eat everything, an'
would she bring him bowl of milk?
The milk was brought, he crumble'
some bread therein, and, as his younge
companion had departed, the man wit
the weak stomach remarked to the gen
tleman across the table from him that
was darned rough to have to com
down to bread and milk, but he ha
been sick, he couldn't eat everything
and he had to be careful.

Fortifying the Sub-Treasury.

The railroad riots year ago last sum-
mer suggested to the Government au-
thorities that the sub-treasury in this
city, in which $100,O00,OO0 or more of
treasure are always stored, was not suf-
fciently protected against the possible
assaults of an armed mob. This sug-
gestion of possible disaster to the great
treasure vaults of the Government has
borne fruit; and work will soon be be-
gun, under contract already awarded,
"for the better defense of the treasury
building" New vaults are to be built,
about twenty feet below the street, in
cased in solid masonry. In the interior
of the silver vault alone about 100000
pounds of chilled steel will be used. On
the Nassau street side will be twenty
four openings, with as many more in the
basement. All these will be protected
with bullet-proof shutters pierced for
musketry and arranged so as to swing
out at any desired angle, so as to COM
mand any portion of the street adjacent.
There will be three turrets on .he roof.
with steel plates three-quarters of an
inch thick, and with loop-holes for mus
kerry on all sides.-New York Herald.

The Greatest OratOr.

The following paragraph is from one
of Ben. Perley Poore's letters to the
Boston Journal:
have been asked who, among the
Congressman of the past half-century,
was the greatest orator, and / reply,
without hesitation, Sargent s. PIentiss.
Born and educated in Maine, he went
to Mississippi, where he was for two
years a tutor in private family, and
then-by ability and personal courage
bounded from obscurity to renown,
from the very foot to the topmost
ladder of fame. In due time he was
sent to the House of Representatives
from Mississippi, and his election was
contested, causing long and exciting
debate in the winter of 1888, in which
he was the leader and challenger. He
was not a man of imposing personal
appearance, and a duel wound made
him stand ungracefully and limp as he
walked, but before political gatherings
or on the floor of the House of Repre-
sentatives / have never heard his equal
as an orator. His intellectual endow-
ments presented rare example, in
which greet logical powers and the most
vivid imagination were happily blend
ed. While he frequently sought to
amuse, he rarely failed at the same time
to instruct an audience. His brilliant
wit, his keen sarcasm, and the rapidity
with which he illustrated his points by
a rapid succession of brilliant meta
phors, made him formidable as an an
tagonist and wonderfully attractive to
all who heard him. Unfortunately, his
onviviaJ habits undermined his health
nd he died in his AID year."

Sand and Rats.

To discourage rats that burrow unde'
walls, don't tamp the holes with broken
glass bottles, which will merely incite
them to dig new holes, but put shovel
full of dry sand over each hole. The
rats soon come up through this, but in
doing so let half the sand into the bur
row, which, unlike earth, they cannot
either force or carry up again, and by
repeating this at every fresh-opened
place their runs become quite filed up,
and they make up your foundations
again.
