SLEEP NORTH AND SOUTH.

A learned German says: "In sleep
any position except North and South
is disagreesble, but from East to West
almost intolerable, at least in our hem.
isphere it is otherwise. The cause of
this phenomenon can obviously be
found only in that great magnet which
is formed by the earth with its atmos-
phere, i. g., terrestrial magnetism. The
terrestrial magnetism exerts on cer-
tain persons both hearty and other
wise, who are sensitive, peculiar in.
duence wonderful enough to disturb
their rest and in the case of diseased
persons disturbing the circulation, the
nervous functions,a and the equilibrium
of the mental powers. There are per-
sons whom l know !; the head of whose
bed is to the North, and who, in order
to wake early, will reverse their usual
position in bed, but without knowing
the reason why, beyond 'that they
could always wake earlier,' the sleep
being more broken. I haye had it re-
lated to me that, at military hospital
in Russia, there were some sick pa
tients of highly sensitive natures, and
who were rapidly recovering. When
necessity compelled them to be remoy-
ed to another wing of the building they
did not get on so well; in fact pros
tration seemed to be setting in and it
was found advisable to get them back
to their former wards as quickly as
possible, where the heads of the beds
were to the North. I have heard of
horses going blind through their po-
sition from North to South to that of
West to East.

DR.. WISE ON THE SABBATH-About that Sab
bath question ventilated again in the neWSpa-
pers, It is wind and gas without substance. No
Jewish congregation will undertake to abolish
the Sabbath OF the Decalogue, or to sanction the
Sunday-Sabbath. 1t is all wind talk and no
more. Whether this or that gentleman viii de.
liver lectures on Sunday or Wednesday 1--WE de.
liver ours Friday evening" Is OF no Importance,
as little, indeed, as it is OF any Duration 1t has
been proved by facts that it does no harm and
exercises no influence. II Christian writer's
would not shout triumph whenever some Jewish
lecturer entertains his friends on Sunday there
might be more Sunday lecturers among u.s. The
idea that the Sunday Sabbath could be substi.
tuted for the Sabbath OF the Decalogue is as alb
surd as Is the attempt OF missionaries to super
sede mOnOthe1Sm by the TrinitarianiSm of Con-
stantine and his priests. The Jew WIN never
believe In Jesus God or Sundays Sabbath
We apprehend that in few years the Sabb ath
and the Sunday will be franchised, as is already
the case In most OF the large cities; then religi.
Gus men will be free to keep and strictly Oh
serve the Sabbath OF their own choice without
disturbance In business or interference with
others, and the 1rreligtous man Will do as he
