A short but excellent paper on insom-
mia and other troubles connected with
sleep in persons of gouty disposition
has appeared in an English medical
journal. The writer, Mr.. Dyce Duck
worth, deprecates the use of so-called
bypnotics as means of relief, and he
says that strict attention to diet, free
dilution of the blood with bland fluids,
regulated exercise of both mental and
bodily faculties, together with occas-
ional mercurial purgatives, will com
monty avail to overcome the misdirect-
ed tendencies and to secure good nights
for sufferers.

Newspaper Advertising.

The tirst-class newspaper or periodi-
cal possesses very obvious advantages
as an advertising medium, 1t goes into
the family, is read by each member,
aud is frequently so much in demand
that while one is reading it another is
impatiently awaiting his or her turn.
1t has features which cause it to be pre-
served for q day or two. if not longer,
and it is usually taken up several times
after the first reading. The advertise.
ments are looked at rs well as the news
and if anything mentioned in the ad-
vertising columns is especially needed
in the household, it is eagerly noticed,
and one of the family will be likely to
start out to purchase it. Every day a
large number of persons who are in
need of some article turn to the adver-
tising columns of newspapers in the
hope OF finding an announcement OF
what they want. Newspaper advertise
ments are thus looked at when the
reader is in a mood to make a pur-
chase, but the inscriptions on rocks and
boards, and the other catchpenny ways
of advertising, will only by mere chance
meet ones eye when the mind desires
what is mentioned. Moreover, the news
paper advertisement is superior to all
other forms of advertising in versatil-
ity. For instance, the advertisement
of grocery man can be at once altered
so as to considerably increase his trade
by putting an announcement of some
desirable goods just received in the
l'lace of some ong-standing announce
ment of staple articles with which the
public are already quite familiar. The
public are on the lookout for novelties
and special bargains, and there is no
other medium than the newspaper
through which they can satisfactorily
and easily F"ep posted in these ro.
spects.
1t cannot be too carefully borne in
mind that the great advantages belong
ing to newspaper advertising can only
be fully and satisfactorily derived from
advertisements in the best papers, those
which have high literary and moral
worth, and find their way into the most
respectable and thrifty families. The
sensational papers, the papers that
treat only of ephemeral matters in a
superficial way, that have a skim-milk
make up, and are perhaps only hastily
glanced at as one rides in the horse-car
and then thrown away, are obviously
poor mediums for advertising.
The country weekly is undoubtedly
one of the best papers in which to ad-
vertise. Its circulation may be small
and mostly confined to one locality but
it goes among families who read it and
preserve it more carefully than the city
man does his daily paper, and who de.
pend on it almost exclusively for what
advertising information they need. A
large circulation, by the way, although
very desirable, cannot make a paper
that is deficient in character and literary
excellence a valuable advertising me-
dunn, while paper of high standing
with but moderate circulation can
command the most valuable patronage.

Where the Horses Ment.

Farmers in the neighborhood of De
Witt and Brunswick, Mo-, recently
have missed great numbers of horses.
1t was known, of course, that the ami
mails were being stolen; but where the
thieves took them the victims had no
idea. Roads were guarded all night,
horses continued to disappear. A few
days ago hunter penetrated the depth
of forest of willows that grow at the
mouth of the Grand river. The forest
covers an island of some 5000 acres,
and so thickly interviewer are the limbs
of the trees that it is extremely difficult
to enter. The sportsman heard the
neigh of horse far in among the will
lows. 1t occurred to him that the neigh
had some connection with the mystery
of the missing animals. A half hours
hard work brought him to the heart of
the forest, and there he saw forty or
more horses quietly feeding in barbed
wire inclosure. The thieves had Sc
cret path to the pound. They had been
removing the horses at pleasure during
night by means of a Mississippi fiat
boat. On the evening of the discovery
they were nabbed.

Wise wORps.


Try your skill in gilt first, then in
gold
Publish your joys, but conceal your
sorrows.
Peoples intentions can only be de-
cided by their conduct.
One day is worth three to him who
does everything in order.
Gravity is but the rind of wisdom,
but il is preservative rind.
The ignorant hath an eagles wings
and an owls eyes.
The king-becoming Rraces--devotiop,
patience, courage, fortitude.
Judgment and reason have been
grand Jurymen since before Noah was a
sailor.
Promises hold men faster than bene-
fits; hope is q cable and gratitude a
thread.
Whoever looks for a friend without
imperfection will never find what he
seeks. We love ourselves with all our
faults, and we ought to love our friends
in like manner.
A man has no right to occupy such
high moral grounds that he is consta t..
ly so far above his fellows that he can
be of no earthly assistance to them.
A great deal depends upon a mans
courage when he is slandered and ira
duced. Weak men are crushed by de-
traction, but the brave hold on and suc-
ceed.

Newspapers.

There are certainly no products of
the arts so cheap as the newspaper, and
it is difficult to imagine any other thing.
Were it not medium for the commu-
nication of the commercial needs of
the community, which form a part of
its income, but are not strictly one of
its journalistic functions, it would be
impossible to furnish what it does at
the prices which it gets. That on the
whole it does not pay like other fur
nished products-the cake, the cigar,
the oyster supper, the ribbon, the laces,
the glass of beer-can only be explained
on the theory once advanced by the Ems
lish philosopher who was asked why
the manufacturers of ale were all mil
ionaires, and the authors all poor.
" Because" he replied, "for one man
who has brains, thirty have bowels"

The WhirIIng OF the Earlh.

The earth's eastward rotation, to-
gether with the increase in rate from
the poles to the equator, has tendency
to throw the waters of streams against
their western banks sufficiently to pro-
duce quite marked effects in many
parts of the world. II is noticeable in
large rivers where the deposits are
earthly and the pitch of the water is
small and in the direction of the master,
the bank against which the water strikes
the more fOrcibly being high and steep,
while the other is low. The effect has
been observed in many steams of Europe
and Asia, and on the rivers intersecting
the low land of the Atlantic border OF
the United States.
