Sleep and HeepIesSness. Habit great
ly helps the performance of the initial act,
and the cultivation OF habit of going to
sleep In peculiar way, at peculiar time,
will do more to procure regular and healthy
sleep than any other artiice. The fOrmq-
tion of the habit is, in fact, the creation or
development of a special center, or com
hinatlon, in the nervous system, which will
henceforth produce sleep as a natural rhy-
thmical process. Ii this was more generally
aecognized, persons who suffer from sleep
lessness OF the sort which consists in simply
being unable to go to sleep would set
themselves resolutely to form such habit.
1t is necessary that the training should be
explicit and include attention TO details.
1t is not very important what person does
with the intention of gong to sleep, but he
should do precisely the same thing, In the
same way, at the same time, and under as
nearly as possibly the same conditions,
night after night for considerable period,
say three or four weeks at least.

Famous Cobblers.

No one but q shoemaker could have
thought Coleridge serious in his strange
saying that the shoemaker's bench had
produced more eminent men than any other
handicraft. The Shoe and Leather Re-
porter has, however, compiled "bill of
particulars in the shape of list Of fa-
nous cobblers which seem to act as an
effectual estoppel on all jealous craftsmen.
Hans Christian Ande son, who needs no
introduction, may head the list, and Hans
Sachs, of Nuremberg, who though he
made shoes all his life, yet also made 5000
poems, plays, farces and rhyming tables,
may be put next. Sir Cloudesley Shovel
was a shoemaker until he listed i'll the
navy, and so was Sir Christopher Minis,
another English Admiral. John Hewson
one of !CromwelI's Colonel's, and slgner
of Charles LIS death warrant; Samuel
Bradburn, the ''Demosthenes of Method
ism, " as well as Bishop; James Lacking
ton, whose catalogue of publcations reached
the tOtal-enormous for that time-Of 30, =
900 volumes IN 1787--all these were cob
blers at first, If not at the last. Containing
the English list, William Clifford, whose
memory is preserved by complimentary
aIlusion in Byron's English Bards and
Scotch Reviewers" and whose body is
buried in Westminster Abbey; George Fox
the arch-Quaker William Carey, mis-
sionary famous a century ago, and VINO
read the proofs of the Bible in twenty
seven Oriental languages; Samuel Drew,
"the Locke of the nineteenth century, :"
whose experience as an author led him to
formulate the sad truth that "the man who
makes shoes is sure of his wages, but the
man who makes books is never sure of
anything; Thomas Holcrcft, whose name
is not nearly so well known as that of q
single one in his plays, "The Road to
Ruin; John Pounds, whom school children
cried at being turned away from-all
these, and lesser lights too numerous to
mention, were English shoenlakers. Com
ing to our country, Roger Sherman, one
of the "signers," leads the list in time,
but Vlce-President Henry Wilson in rank.
Besides these were Congressman Sheffey
and Noah Worcester, not the photographer,
but the founder Of the Massachusetts,
Peace Society. And ex Cows Fl. P. Bald
win, OF Michigan, and William Clafin, of
Massachusetts, if they never made shoes,
at least dealt in them largely enough to be
named here. Altogether, the list Is suffi-
GENTLY imposing and convincing to Justify
a verdict in favor of Coleridge's saying.

A New Exhilarating Substance.

DR.. Luton, of Rheims, calls attention in
q French medical paper to the exhilarating
properties of the tincture of ergot of rye
when associated with phosphate of soda.
The circumstances of the discovery were
as follow: A woman of 81, at the Inirmary
of the MaisO11 de Retr0ite, in Rheims,
was receiving tincture of ergot of rye for
disease in the knee. Fearing an unfaYora-
BILE turn, the doctor thought to strengthen
the action of that medicament with phos
phate of soda, and accordingly combined
a little of the two substances IN quarter
of glass CT sWeetened water. The pa
tlent, about three-quarters of an hour after
taking this, surprised the inmates by burst
ing into loud laughter, without obvious
reason, and this continued TOR more than
an hour, with brief intervals. The laugh
ter seemed to be associated with merry
ideas, and to indicate kind of intoxica-
tion. For some time after it died down
the woman was in good spirits and good
humOr. DR.. Luton had not witnessed the
scene, but the consequences to the patient
being good, he administered the substance
again, and a third time, observing the
same effect. The experiments were fur
ther repeated on seven or eight women and
girls with like results. In the case of
men the action of the substance is less
marked; 1t appears only in colollng of the
face, giddiness, and slight headache. The
effects in question have probably a common
origin, it is thought, with those from eating
rye bread when, in rainy years, the cereal
contains as much as five per cent. of ergot.
A sort of lntoxication Is produced which
the consumers by no means despise.

Mr. Peter Henderson, Of Jersey City
Heights, N. j., does not believe that the
So o-called insectivorous plants derive any
more nourishment from their victims than
the hemlock, which destroys millions OF
gnals on its resinous eXudations, or the
thistle and burdock, which impale so many
butterflies, moths. and humble bees on
their spines. Ir the summer of 1878 he
and Mr.. w. /. TAFT made two experiments
using one hundred plantsin each test, those
chosen being the well known Carolina ty
trap. The plants which received No in
sects were just as vigorous as those which
had Ecen treated to the supposed animal
diet.

The obscure poison which produces hy-
drophobia has been known to lie latent in
the human system for years before develop
ing its fatal results. NJ Pasteur declares
the supposition to be well supported that
the virus does develop in certain organs,
and not, as in other similar maladies, in the
blood; and that whcn-after period vari-
able according to circumstances-the or
ganized poison passes into the blood severe
symptoms come on rapidly, and the victim
soon dies. An explanation substantially the
same as this had long been advanced as a
mere theory, but now NJ. Pasteur advances
it as an ascertained physiological fact.

LVa paper on dew and fogs, Herr Dine

IHa paper on dew and fogs, Herr Dimes
says that morning tog along the river course
arises when the water is warmer than the
air over it. the evaporation going on more
quickly than the vapor can be carried
away, and is therefore, condensed and
spread as fog. The evening fog on moist
low-lying meadow land he attributes to a
lowering Of the temperature of the grass
surface by radiation, and a consequent con-
densation Of the aqueous varor In the
lowest layers of the atmosphere.

lator, thus increasing its volume aud pre-
venting the freezing of moisture in the

thing which nature does not supply and
which civilization renders quite necessary
to fowls. 1t IS charcoal. Charcoal made
of wood does net answer the purpose; it has
no taste OF food, it is not attractive to fowls
and is seldom eaten. But if any one will
put an ear of ripe corn into fire until the
grains are we'll charred. and then shell off
the corn and throw it t. the flock, he will
see an eagerness developed and healthy
condition brought about, which will make
a decided improvement. All pale combs
will become bright red the busy song
which precedes laying will be heard, and
the average yield of eggs greatly increased.
