THREE Twos AND a ONE.

How o Tennessee Man Became the
Father OF Big Family tn One
Night.
A few days since the Louisville Cotr.
ter-J0urnal contained q SPECIAL from its
Nashville correspondent to the effect
that woman residing In jackson coun-
ty, that State, had given birth to seven
children at one time. Later, the cores
pondent telegraphed the following par.
ticuiars Of this extraordinary occur
renee -
After the birth Of female twins the
physician gave directions as to the care
OF both the mother and children, and
prepared to take his leave. Before
reaching his horse, at the gate, he was
recalled and delivered the woman of an
other girl baby. Again the physician
took his leave, and again was he recalled
TO bring to light another girl baby.
This was considered remarkable, and
the physician was grea' ly puzzled over
the matter. He, however, congratula-
ted the husband over his good fortune,
and departed for home. He had not
gone more than half mile before he
was overtaken by the excited husband
OF the woman, who in breathless haste
Informed him that there was still auoth-
er to be born. Fastening back, the ply
slcian arrived in time to aid in deliver
Ing the woman OF her fifth child.
The physician was then prevailed on
BY the husband and father to stay dur
Ing the remainder OF the night. He
was not slow to accept the invitation,
and sat down to wait developments. lb
Tue course OF fifteen or twenty minutes
lie was again called TO the bedside Of the
woman, and very soon the sixth child
was breathing the breath of life. Morn
Ing dawned, aud the doctor took his
leave, having bad no sleep during the
night. He threw himself in bed on bis
arrival at home, aud was soon sound
asleep.
About o'clock he was around by his
wife, who stated that Mr.. B. was a. the
gate and wanted to see him Imm ediately.
"Wbat's the matter now?" asked the
Doctor.
"Mary appears to be going to-you
know" replied Mr.. B.
"Whai! another one?n exclaimed the
Doctor, excitedly.
"That's it," said Mr.. b., q smile spread
Ing over his mouth from ear to ear.
The Doctor mounted his horse and
was soon at the house of B. He was too
late, however, to be of any service, as
the seventh child, girl, was born a few
minutes previous to bis ARRIVAL. The
Doctor remained about the premises
during the rest of the day, but his ser |
vices were not again needed.
The gentleman who made the above
and it Is almost in his exact
words, says he has seen the seven babies
several tiT es, ,and while not large weigh
ing FROM four to five pounds each, they
appear to be healthy, well-developed
children. The occurrence has created
considerable excitement in the neiehbor-
hood, and the people for miles around
lock to see the woman and her babies.

That Bedroom.

What about it? Well, a good msny
things might be said. 1t ought to be

But it ia not such place. Restless
tossi rgs with troubled dreams are
there. Morning after morning finds
the sleeper weary, restless and dump

We wonder too. But our wonder is
that he does not make it q matter of

should. When anything is wrong
with us there ia cause for it. As a

require the aid of a modern scientist,

To exercise the demon of restless
ness is not bedroom work alone. He
who seeks the comfort of sound, re,
freshing sleep must properly control
his habits by day as we'll as by night.
So much may be said about sleep
in general that the bedroom ia in

that particular bedroom does not
differ materially from many others OF
