HOW POSITION AFFECTS SLEEP.

According to an English physician, DR..
Granville, the position affects sleep. A
constrained position generally prevents
repose, while comfortable one woos
sleep. He says:
Lying on the back, with the limbs re-
laxed, would seem to secure the greatest
amount of rest for the muscular system.
This is the position assumed in the most
exhausting diseases, and it is generally
hailed as token of revival when per-
son voluntarily turns on the side but
there are several disadvantages in the SUI
es sleep. Thus, In weakly states of the
heart and blood-vessels, and certain NOR
bid conditions Of the brain, the blood
seems to gravitate to the back Of the
head, ,and to produce troublesome dreams.
In persons who habitually, in their gait
or work, stoop, there is probably, some
distress consequenton straining the spine.
Those who have contracted chest, espec-
ial,y persons who have had pleurisy and
retain adhesions of the lungs, do not
sleep well on the back. Nearly all who
are inclined to snore do so when in that
position, because the soft pallet and uvals
hang on the tongue, and that organ falls
back so as to partially close the top of
the windpipe.
1t is better, therefore, to lie on the side
and in the absence of special diseases,
rendering 1t desirable, so as to leave the
healthy lung free to expand, it is well TO
choose the right side, because when the
body is thus placed, the food gravitates
out of the stomach into the intestines,
and the weight of the liver does not COM
press the upper portion of the lntestines.
A glance at any plate of the visceral
anatomy will show how this must be.
Many persons are deaf in one ear, and
prefer to lie on particular side; but if
possible, the right should be chosen.
Again, sleeping with the arms thrown
over the head is to be deprecated; but
this position is often assumed during
sleep, because the circulation is then free
in the extremities and in the head and
neck, and the muscles of the chest are
drawn up and fixed by the shoulders, land
thus the expansion of the thorax is easy.
The chief objections to this position are
that it creates tendency to cramp and
cold In the arms, and sometimes seems
to cause headaches during sleep and
dreams. These small matters often make
or mar comfort in sleeping.

Exports of ereadstuffs.

The exports of breadstuffs from
the United States for the fiscal year
ended with June Beth reached the
enormous total of $277 ,226, ,762, the
largest amount for any one year in
the history of the country. This
places breadstuffs in the front rank
of our export trade, for in no other
line of products does the total reach
these figures, and the only approach
to them is found in cotton and pro-
visions. Our shipments of bread
stuffs have been growing in import
ance almost year by year since 1870,
when the total rose to $72 ,25O, 1888.
In 1871 the total was $40 1881 ,l87, i'll
1872 $84 ,586 ,273, in 1773 $98, ,743, isl,
and in 1874 $l61 1885 From this
point there was a considerable re-
action, and in 1875 our breadstuffs
exports declined 10 Sill ,458 ,265.
This was followed by marked i'm
provement in 1876, when the total
was $l31 ,181 ,555. From this there
was another falling off, and in 1877
the total receded to $117 ,8O6,4 ,476.
For the three succeeding years there
was a great increase year by year,
the totals being $18l, ,777,841 for
ITS, $2O1 ,776, ,499 for 1879, and
$277 ,226, 1852 for 1880. During those
years the population of the United
States has steadily increased, and
with this gain in population there
has been also marked increase in
the annual production of grain, con-
sequent upon the opening up to
civilization and cultivation of the
rich prairie lands of the West,
Northwest and Southwest. The
United States have been growing
in Importance as an agricultural
country, and no better evidence of
this is needed than the returns of
our exports of breadstuffs. Agricul-
culture, a great source of wealth to
any country, is particularly so to our
own, for we see in the facts before
us that the exports Of grain and flour
alone have done much within a few
years to change our relations with
the outer world from debtor to a
creditor people.

WANTED TO JINE THE ARMY

st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
He wore long duster, carried Q
gripsack in his left hand and faded
gingham umbrella in his right, and
walked right into the cavalry recruit
ing Office ON Pine street yesterday
morning as if he had come on particu-
lar business and couldn't fool away
any time. Placing his traps ON the
floor he removed his hat land, address
ing the sergeant said:
'tIs the army fullr'
"Well, not all of it; the part that has
been paid Is pretty full by this time"
replied the sergeant, winking his
wunks as rapidly as he uttered his
words. But the joke was thrown
away on the would-be warrior. He
said he wanted TO ..jine the army" He
had heard great deal how young mi .
of good moral character had climbed up
the ladder of fame, step, by step, until
they got to colonels or corporal and he
thought if he only had chance he might
do very we'll. He was tired Of working
on farm, and pined for excitement. He
wanted to know If he could't enlist
right off for some position as an officer.
He could furnish good recommendations,
&c. He wanted to put his name right
down for an Office In . moral company
commanded by moral captain and q
moral regiment, and asked the sergeant
to do him the favor to name such o com
pany and regiment, where they didn't
use tobacco and drink, and were accus-
toned 70 attending divine services; and
then he didn't want to 60 co company
where there was much work or fighting,
he didn's like to fight; 1t was against ali
bis moral training, and if there was much
work to do, he was afraid that he
wouldn't have time to read the Bible.
The sergeant informed him that he
had been in the army some years, but
he had never heard of the kind of a com
pany he was talking about, yet there
might be some, but that the only one
who would know it would be the Adju-
tant- General at Washington, to whom
he would write, and If there was com
pany of that kind and vacancy in 1t be
would try to secure it for him, but he
doubted II there was vacancy.
The sergeant remarked to him that
he was better recruit for the Salvation
Army than for the regulars. and after
giving him the necessary information
as to where the headquarters of his new
army could be found, he departed, say
ng that he reckoned that th at was the
army he would "jine."

TyDs setting in lapau.

It must be no joke to be employed IN
a japanese printing Office. In our own
and most other countries Of the world,
except China and Japan, the language is
written by means Of an alphabet Of sep
arate letters. Among the Celestisls and
their next door neighbOrs, on the other
hand. each word has a distinct character.
The COmpOsitors difficulties In either
instance are obvious almost at a glance.
In settingup this note, he has the letters
conveniently arranged before him in
what is known as the Cease" But in
IaDan, according to an American con-
temporary q full font Of type comprises
$1,000 characters, Of which 8, 1000 are in
constant use, and for 1000 more there
are frequent calls. Instead Of being
compactly arrayed before him, the type
is disposed about the composing room
on racks, and the unfortunate compost
tor has to wander up and down the
room, setting his "COpy" and stretching
his legs, though he would probably Be
quite willing to dispense with the
greater part Of his enforced exercise. it
Is for the reason that it is impossible to
apply the system Of single character
words to telegraphy, that that inesdua-
bic boon to civilization is apparently un-
available to the inhabitants Of Japan
and China.

When Spurgeon was almost a lad he
was sent dOWu to preach for an aged
Baptist minister in the country On his
arrival the old man looked at him as If
he expected the world to come to an end
by the mere force of a boys impudencei
and, instead of giving the accustomed
greeting, walked up and down mutterlng,
loud enough to be heard: Tut, tut, IS 1t
come to this boys for pulpits! children
to preach babies to,preaChl" Mr.. spur.
geOn, too, muttered to himself but mol
loud enough to be heard: "Eou shall
pay for this, old boy"
So, next morning, he chose for his hrst
lesson the sixteenth chapter OF Proverbs,
and read until he came to the verse, a
hoary head is a crown Of glory" Look

claimed, to the astOnishment Of the
orthodox congregation, solomon

glory" Then turning to the book, he
added with dramatic surprise, oh, ]
see, SolOmOn's right, after all, for rude
ness even to q lad who breaches for you
is not the way of righteousness" The
old man was capable Of bearing a joke
even from the pulpit, and when the ser,
mon was over ran up the stairs, and
slapping the boy preacher on the back
exclaimed with delight, "Thee art the
sauciest dog that ever barkedi in pulpit

Young man, before beginning to read
medicine or law, ask yourself If 1t
would not be better to read agriculture
and practice it. Are not the sO-callcd
learned professions crowded to their
utmost capacity? Is there not a more
inviting field open before you as q
learned farmer, than as a learned lawyer
divine or doctor? To attain distinction
in any of these professions you will
most likely, have to 90 through the
starving process for several years, and tc
labor harder than any farmer labors
Think of these things. If you dom
think of them now, you will think of
them often before you make a living by
your profession. ~
