Snow Bound i'm Switzerland.

Owing to the weather (Septemter
22), the state of Central Europe is in a
more melancholy condition than it has
been for many years. The whole of
Northern Italy is more or less under
water the Simplon and Splugen are
blocked by the snow that has fallen,
and the latter lies a foot deep in all the
Swiss cantons, excepting only those
of Vaud and Geneva. Travellers intend
ing to 90 over the former pass from
Switzerland to Italy have. on arriving
at Visp and Brigue, been told that there
is no longer aiy possibility of their
crossing it this year, and have been
forced to discharge their tray Yelling car
riages, and take the railway to Culoz,
and thence accomplish the journey by
way of the Mount Gents. One English
gentleman and his wife, who had in
tended crossing the Simplon last week,
were resolved to go over it if possible,
and by means of a heavy payment in
duced their Uettarino to attempt the pas
sage from the Swiss side. They got as
far as the fourth refuge" when it was
found absolutely impossible to proceed
any further, or, what was still worse, to
return to the starting-point. In these
circumstances they were forced to re-
main in their carriage for three days,
and to subsist on what food and wine
they had with them; and on the fourth
day, when at their last resource, to de-
scend on foot, at considerable risk, to
Brigue.
Meanwhile, the amount of misery and
loss that has been entailed by the month
of rain land that the harvest monthly is
incalculable. The cattle are lying dead
on the hills, the wine crop Immediately
north and south of the Alps will have
no actual existence this year, and what
would have been the winters hay is in
iured beneath the snow. Wolves have
appeared on the outskirts of several
Swiss towns, and bears (small and not
formidable) are reported in the Enga-
dine. In the Tyrol things are as bad,
if not worse. At Innspruck and in the
Pusterthal people who have been caught
there are prevented from leaving.
The trains have almost entirely ceased
to run, and several bridges have been
carried away by the floods. At Bru-
neck even worse than this has occurred,
as houses have had their foundations
washed away, and the little town of
Trent is entirely under water. At the
last moment came the joyful tidings
that the eighty snow-bound and impris-
oned visitors to Zermatt have seen rift
I1of blue sky in the clouds above them.
and that, before long, they hope to be
able to struggle across the st. Nicholas

Sleeplessness.


The causes that produce this serious
trouble are various. Not infrequently
the tendency to it is inherited with
delicate nervous organization, and over
work will increase it. 1t is difficult for
the sufferer to know just how much
work. mental and physical, may be ac-
eomplished without producing the un-
pleasant result For one so constituted
most watchful care becomes impor-
tant, and the most interesting employ
ment must be turned away from at the

reading an article that stimulates the
mind TO intense thinking, may, any Of
them, cause you to spend weary wake
full hours and lead to severe exhaustion
on the morrow.
BY watchfulness you may learn to
spare yourself the over-fatigue, as a
duty which others may not understand
the reason for. You may avoid the con-
versation and the book at evening, seek
ing them at an earlier hour when the
choice lies with YOU. But with every
care you are liable to suffer from
causes you can neither foresee nor pre-
vent
Sometimes Indigestion will awaken
you at the small hours, and take re-
venge for some very slight departure
from the careful diet you uniformly
adopt. Recently it has been discovered
that many persons lose hours of sleep
because they are in need of nourish-
ment. That the fast is too long that
continues from supper time at six
O'Clock until six or eight o clock the next
morning.
Physicians who used to prescribe bro
mide of soda or potassium for sleepless-
ness now urge their patients to take
beef tea instead The writer, after try
ing various prescriptions with little ben
| eft. was at length so fortunate as to re-
ceire such advice. At first beef tea was
used with some light bread or biscuit
broken in it, slipped from spoon as
warm as it could be taken. Afterwards,
milk just scalded, not boiled, was sub
stituted, and to make it more easy of
digestion a tablespoonful of lime water
was added to half tumbler of milk.
TO facilitate matters apocket-stove with
an alcohol lamp or an arrangement for
the gas fixture should be at hand. If
neither beef tea nor milk can be easily
| procured, hot water with an infusion of
| hops or mint may be substituted, or
even hot water alone will quiet restless
ness and induce sleep. A darkened
room that the moonbeams cannot enter,
a little fresh air from an open fire. place
or window, are valuable assistants in
making the sleep continuous. u...
When once the habit of wakefulness
is broken up, the beef tea or milk may
be taken cold but not iced Ii you are
always poor sleeper it will be well to
continue this late supper as n perma-
nent thing in your daily life.

night hours, you may be able to tighten

THE LOST GARDEM.

There was fair green garden sloping
FROM the southeast side of a mountain
And the earliest tints of the dawn came pror-
Down through its paths from the days dim

Arched and varied its velvet sod
And the glad birds sang as the soul supposes
The angels sing on the hills of God.
