Eating Before Sleeping.
New York Journal of Commerce

Man is the only anlmai that can
be taught to sleep quietly on an
empty stomach. The brute creation
resent all efforts to coax them to
such violation of the laws of ma
ture. The lion roars in the forest
until he has found his prey, and
when he has devoured it he sleeps
over until he needs another meal.
The horse will paw all night in the
stable, and the pig will squeal in the
pen, refusing all rest Of sleep until
he is fed. The animals which chew
the cud have their own provision for
late moal just before dropping off
to their nightly slumbers.
Man car train himself to the
habit of sleeping without a preced-
ing meal, but only after long years
of practice AS he comes into the
world nature is too strong for him,
and he must be fed before be will
sleep A child's stomach is
small, and when perfectly filled,
if mo sickness disturbs it,
sleep follows naturally and in
evitably. AS digestion goes on, the
stomach begins to empty. A single
fold IN it will make the little sleeper
restless; two will waken it, and if it
is hushed again to repose the nap is
short, and three folds put an end to
the slumber. Paregoric OF other
narcotic may close its eyes again, but
without either food or some stupefy
ing drug it will not sleep, no matter
how healthy it may be. Not even an
angel who learned the art of min
strelsy in "a celestial choir can sing a
babe to sleep on an empty stomach.
We use the oft>quoted Illustration,
Sleeping as sweetly as an infant,
because this slumber of child fol-
lows Immediately after it's stomach is
completely filled with wholesome
food. The sleep which comes to
adults long hours after partaking of
food, and when the stomach is near
~ or quite empty, is not after the
type OF infantile repose. There is all
the difference in the world between
the sleep Of refreshment and the
sleep of exhaustion.
To sleep we'll the blood that wells
the veins in the head during our
busy hours must flow back leaving a
greatly diminished volume behind
the brow that lately throbbed with
such vehemence. To digest well this
blood is needed at the stomach and
nearer the fountains of life. 1t is a
fact established beyond the possibil-
lty of contradiction that sleep aids
digestion, and that the process of
digestion is conductive to refreshing
sleep 1t needs no argument to con
vince ue Of this mutual relation. The
drowsiness which always follows the
well-ordered meal is itself a testi-
mony of nature to this independence.

Watch Dogs.

The night watchman at the East
ern Penitentiary of Pennsylvania,
have very able assistants in brute
companions, whose instinct and su-
perior training is little less than re-
markable. These are trained watch
dogs, nine altogether, embracing
one mastiT, two fun bloodhounds
and the rest half bloodhounds.
They are kept in three distinct ken
nels in as many separate enclosures,
into which the prison yard IS di
vided. The fences divide them
and they never meet; certain indi-
cations have showed thatif they did
there would be several pretty tough
dog fights. When the night watch
men are on duty the dogs are unleas-
ed and accompany them on their
patrol, but the canine guards are
more effective in their way, as they
penetrate the angles and out-oi-the-
way places, while the human watch
men follow the beaten path. Ii the
dogs hear any unusual noise, or
find anything irregular, they notify
the guard by sharp bark. Their
capacity to discover attempted es-
capes has never been fully testel,
inasmuch as the convicts stand in
too wholesome dread of them to
think of such thing during the
dog watch. An instant illustrating
the wonderful instinct Of these sem
tinels developed not long ago. The
guard one night was startled by a
warning bark from one of the dogs,
which he found thirty or forty
yards from point where Q small
ventilating pipe led from the inte-
rior of the prison. A cautious in
vestigation showed that one of the
convicts on that gallery, but occu-
pying q cell on the opposite side OF
the corridor, being sick, was endeav-
oring to attract the attention of the
inside watch. The dog had discoy-
cred the unusual noise in the sound
conveyed through the drain pipe
which the keepers on the inside
had failed to notice. The suffering
convict was afforded assistance
which he otherwise would not have
obtained.

English people are quite impress
ed by the abundance of viands set
upon the American table, and rather
criticise the custom. They say that
in providing for their table the
Americans rarely consider what goes
with what (of course there are the
.epicurean few who do. Except the
Yankee pork and beans" there
seems to be no viands so welded
to vegetables as to be spoken Of to-
gether, like The English "d1ck and
green peas, mutton and turnips,"
etc. Generally speaking, vegeta-
bles are chosen haphazard, and so
carrots, or dried beans or tUrnips,
are IS often served with poultry as
not; no question Of the eternal fit
ness" Of things seems to trouble
the housekeeper. Then, not only
IS the unhtness Of certain vegata-
bleS for certain meats unthoueht Of,
but the vegetables themselves are
served with sublime disregard to
harmony, and so peas and aspara-
gus, and summer squash and pota-
toes, often find themselves cheek by
j0wl on one plate. From four to
six vegetables are often served at
once, and two merely are consider
ed by any but very fashionable
people TO be Il very mean sort Of 4
dish. Tomatoes, in some form or
other, are invariably on the table
when in season, and more often
than not canned, even in winter.
Many Of the methods in which po-
tatoes are prepared are quite Un-
known TO English people.
