The Proper Position for Sleeping

The Proper Position for Sleeping.
London World.
A German, Baron Reichenbach, has
occupied many years in studying the art
of bed making, or rather bed placing, and
maintains that improperly placed beds
will shorten a mans life,
II a mere magnet exercises an iniu-
ence on sensitive persons, the earth's
magnetism must certainly make itself felt
on the nervous life of man. In whatever
hemisphere, you may always sleep with
your feet to the equator, and let your
body lie ''true as a needle to the pole"
The proper direction of the body is of
the utmost Importance for the proper cir
culation of the blood, and many distur-
Dances in the organisms have been cured
by simply placing the bolster in a differ
ent point of the compass from that it had
occupied. Let such as have hitherto
been in the habit of sleeping with their
heads where their feet ought to be take
to heart the example of the late DR..
Elschwester of Madgeburg, who died re-
Gently at the age of 100 years.
The most unhealthy position, we are
told, is when the body lies due east and
west. Some observers assure us that to
sleep in such a position is %tantamount to
committing suicide, and that diseases are
often aggravated by deviations from the
proper postures.

& Plunkett, No Water, 1000. This
makes a t~otal,.of 80, 600 head in the basin.
The shipment of beef cattle out of the
basin this year will be 5000 head-con-
siderably larger than last year. All the
cattle men expect to drive to Billings
and ship over the Northern Pacific road.
Last year the shipments were made
mostly over the Union Pacific,
as the northern line was not COM
pleted to Billings until late in August.
Shipping generally will be later this sea-
son than last unless something occurs in
the market to hurry the cattle along.
Probably the first cattle will be sent out
about September 1. In the Little Mis-
souri, country, Mr.. Wilson says there are
many cattle being driven in, but in the
Big Horn basin there will be none re-
ceived from other sections, from the fact
that the larger rivers are well stocked and
the cattle men generally do not care to
pay the high prices which they would
have to for cattle from other sections.
Probably about $1,000 head will be ship
ped to Keith, Miles City, Rosebud and
Billings, from Iowa and Minnesota this
season.

see that most students read il in q
different version. II is one, however,
of special fascination. This is the
antique capital of that single branch
in the southern Slav family,
which has yet proved itself European in
any sense other than geographical. 1t was
republic, the rival of Venice in arms and
art, commerce and enterprise, for ages.
The winged lion finally overcame and
enslaved it, but Ragusan patriots will not
admit that their forefathers were con-
quered by Venice. 1t was the shadows
Of the Turk that vanquished them, the
iron barrier crushing their small terri
tory, the incessant threats Of a malicious
savage. / have no opinion on that mat
ter. The legend of Ragusa thrills one
like that Of a mysterious and silent rein.
Be it remembered that this small, sleepy
town gave us the fine word ''argosy"
for a great ship stored with the costliest
goods.
From one stately gateway in the mass
i've walls to the other is but loo yards at
most, and at every yard IL may pause
to admire. just within, on the right
hand, is a fountain somewhat of the
Turkish style. On market days and holi-
days it is a pretty sight when the girls
assemble at this place. Every village
has its popularity Of dress, mostly bright
in %colors, but the Herzegovinian is 80
supremacy charming that it kills all 9TH
ers. The robe, Of coarse black cloth,
should be properly called a chemise; it
has little ornament. But from the round
'turban" cap descends a veil, framing a
face often pretty, always pleasant to the
eye thus set off. This drapery is of thick
white material, falling to the bottom of
the skirt, and so large that a girl can
wrap her whole body therein if she please.
Worldwide travel has lot shown me a
dress so becoming in severe simplicity.
Opposite to the fountain is a church,
and then the broad, fine street, smoothly
paved, stretches to the other gate. Its
blocks of stone houses date, they tell
you, from the fourteenth century; saving
the tones which age alone can give, they
might have been raised yesterday. Tall,
solid, exactly alike, and precisely aligned,
they present that ideal of street architect
ure which we are now laboriously trying
to introduce; but we shall not easily
match these handsome structures. Be-
tween each block endless flights of steps
climb the mountain side, with a narrow
landing at intervals.

RAGUSA.
The Queer Capital OF an Old South
Slav Republic.

Belgrayia.
There is no little city in Europe, actual
" none, 30 curious, so interesting, as
Ragusa. Persons better acquainted with
that coast have toldme that in quaintness
other Slav-V Venetian towns may challenge
1t. My own experience of Cattaro and
Antivari confirms this statement in some
measure. But Ragusa is unique in
memorials Of ancient state and wealth,
above all in its story. OF that story, in
truth, i have learned but just enough t.

That's a common express
sion and has a world of
meaning. How much suf-
fering is summed up in it.
The singular thing about
it is, that pain in the back
is occasioned by so many
things. May be caused by
kidney disease, liver COM
plant, consumption, cold,
rheumatism dyspepsia, over
work, nervous debility, &c.
Whatever the cause, don't
neglect it. Something is
wrong and needs prompt
attention. No medicine has
yet been discovered that
will SO quickly and surely
cure such diseases as
Browns IRON BITTERs, and
it does this by commencing
at the foundation, and max
ing the blood pure and rich.

Pile, having begun to think about
the matter in earnest, perceives
that it is much too important to
be put aside at the dictation of
saloon-keepers. 1t is certain that
the entire savings Of the people
and all additions to the wealth are
not twice as much as the sum ex-
pended for liquor and because of
the abuse Of liquor. If any just
and reasonable proportion can be
made that will add one-half to the
savings and the prosperity of the
Nation, it will not be put down
with a sheer, nor defeated by a
law-breaking mob.-Neae York

Upshur County Notes.

EDITOR FREEMAN:-I have been
spending a few days out of my
bailiwick amid the grassy slopes of
Upshur county.
At Peck's Run the Preachers
Institute of Buckhannon District
convened and was in session three
days. The work of the Institute
was interesting and inspiring, and
although in the midst of "wheat
harvest" the people were present
every day by hundreds.
Dinner was eaten under the
trees and the social element large
Ky cultivated.
Buckhannon has a boom. The
railroad has helped much as well
as the WEST VIRGINIA ACADEMY.
This institution has been located
at Buckhannon, and the building
is in course of erection. The school
will open September LIST, under
the management of Professors Stew
ems and Johns, two capable Chris
tian gentlemen, who will do first
class work. Both sexes are admit
ted and will enjoy equal privileges.
Those who have had long expert
ence in the work of co-education
of the sexes are thoroughly con-
WINGED that it is the true method
The expenses will be no more here
than anywhere else and probably
not as great. For healthfulness
the location is not surpassed by
any other in the country.
The people of Buckhannon are
Intelligent and moral, and there
has never been a licensed saloon in
the county and never will be. 1t
is good place to send young peo-
ple TO school. All the leading

A Mere DeiuSi0n.

1t is claimed by the friends of
"high license" that the licensed
liquor-dealers will help enforce the
law against illicit shops; this is a
mere delusion, All high or low
licensed l1quor-sellers are law
breakers misunderstanding to
minors, to drunkards, on Sunday
against law-and they never in
two hundred years have been
known to try to help enforce the
law against unlicensed liquor sell
ers. Law-breakers are not law
enforcers,- Temperance AdUocate.

A Sabbath at White Sulphur
Springs.

We reached White Sulphur
Springs on Saturday night, June
18th. Next morning we were up
early to see the sun rise. The sky
was clear, except few clouds
skirting the eastern horizon; and
these were tinged with gold and
dappled with silver. We never
saw more beautiful sunrise. But
its beauty scarcely surpassed the
beauty of the surroundings of
White Sulphur itself.
Near the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway station, and not far from
the celebrated Spring, is the Grand
Hotel, whose spacious dining hall
is capable of seating fifteen hun
dred guests. The hotel is surround
ed by over one hundred cottages.
Though these have less architec-
tural style than the cottages at
Mountain Lake Park, they are
beautiful.
The premises have been lately
leased for term Of five years by
Mr.. H. Phoebus, long proprietor of
''Hygeia Hotel" Old Point Com
fort, Va. Though the present sea-
son opened for visitors within the
last week, guests from every quar-
ter are already on the ground.
The drives and foot-ways to every
point of interest are in good re-
pair, except the path leading to
the little church-the only place
of worship on the premises. This
path is almost overgrown with
grass. The church building be-
longs to the Methodists, but Epis-
copal services are held in it every
Sabbath during the summer sea-
son. We attended this service on
Sunday morning. 1t is certainly
a beautiful service.
But the beauties of White Sui
phur, which are seen by so many
thousands every summer, would
have remained comparatively un-
known, had it not been for the
opening of that great thoroughfare
the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
way. This line, commencing on
the Atlantic coast and reaching
far toward the West, is fed by lead
ing lines from almost every State.
Fol comfortable coaches, courteous
officials, and general comfort, the
Chesapeake and Ohio is unsurpasS-
ed by any railroad line in the land.
State Superintendent Butcher is
extending hearty invitation to
the National Educational Associa-
ton to hold it's session of 1884 at
White Sulphur Springs. No State
in the Union can furnish a place
more suitable than White Sulphur
Springs. Every foot of ground
over which teachers Of the North
or West would pass from the time
they enter the State, either at
Harper's Ferry or the Ohio river,
is historic; and the scenery is
scarcely surpassed by that of
Switzerland or the Yosemite Val
ley.-Prof. A. L. Wade IN School

The Uses OF the Lemon.

As writer IN the London Lancet
remarks, few people know the value of
lemon juice. A piece of lemon bound
upon corn will cure it in q few days ;
it should be renewed night and morn
ing. A free use of lemon juice and
sugar will always relieve a cough.
Most people feel poorly in the spring;
but if they would eat lemon before
breakfast every day for week, with
or without sugar, as they like, they
would find it better than any medi-
cine. Lemon juice used according to
the following receipt will sometimes
cure consumption: Put dozen lem
ons into cold water and slowly bring
them to boil; boil slowly until the
lemons are soft, but not too soft, then
squeeze until all the juice is extracted,
and sugar to your taste and drink. In
this way use dozen lemons day.
If they cause pain or loosen the bow.
els too much, lessen the quantity and
use onl y five or six day until you are
better, and then begin again with a
dozen. After using five or six dozen
the patient will begin to gain flesh and
enjoy food. Hold ON to the lemons
and still use them very freely several
weeks more.

From its first issue, the DAILY

The publication of the DAILY

Dispatches. These were taken off the
1'es At Blackfoot, brought in $50
miles by stage, and published at cost
Of about $500 per month. This very
enterprising move did not pay. It
was only an experiment, however, and
after three months trial 1t was aban-

In HALEY, the TIMES will again at
tempt to supply the people of Wood

graphic news as they can obtain in
any other paper-and this time with
some show of success. The DAILY

present size of the WEEKLY TIMES,
and the latter will also be proportion
stely enlarged.
To facilitate binding and bring the
