positive proof that the remedy initiated Is of the

proved by the whole world that Hop Bitters WAS

Conditions Of Health Giving Exercise.

The summer air of the highlands makes
outdoor life q luxury, but the chief advan-
tage of the plan is this The stimulus of
pleasant pastime enables man to beguile
himself into about ten times as much exer.
else as he could stand in the Turner-hall.
The visitors Of hygienic gymnasium take
their turn at the horizontal bar as they
would swallow the drugs of public dis
pensary; they know that it is lesser evil,
they know that the road TO Styx is the
alternative, they intend to come every day,
but the intolerable tedium of the crank
work exercise soon shakes that resolution.
The motive for exertion is too abstract; II
lacks the charm Of progressiveness and the
stimulus of a proximate, tangible and visi-
BILE purpose. The sham competition of
regiment OF invalids under the command Of
turn-mdster does not much sweeten the
bitter broth; it is still FRAMEWORK, minus
the club of the taller, and nine out of ten
hygienic gymnasts will soon find or make a
pretext for disseminating their visits. How
many out of hundred pupils of young
ladies' seminary would dream Of performing
their callisthenics" at home2 They would
as soon walk on all-fours, or ride on dry
clothesline. But arrange Mayday picnic
in the mountains, and they will beat a kid
in climbing up the steepest rocks, and swing
on wild grape-vines for hours together. It
is likewise certain that fatigues can be far
better borne If the body is not encountered
with surplus Of calorifc clothes. A pair
of linentrousers, flannel hunting-shirt, and
a loose necktie, make the most hygienic
summer dress. In the afternoon romove
the necktie and roll up the shirt-sleeves it
can do no harm to imbibe fresh air by all
available means, and let the cutaneous
lungs share in the luxury. Nor is there any
excuse for the widespread fallscy that it is
dangerous, even in the most sweltering
nights, to remove the bed-blankets. Kick
them into the farthest corner if they become
too warm, and sleep in your shirt and draw
ers, or under'a linen bed-sheet. Halfnaked
lazzaroni sleep the year round on the stone
terrace of the Museo Borbonico and outlive
the asthmatic burghers in their swestbox
dormitories. The body effects part of its
breathing through the pores. Painting
man with yellow ochre and copal-varnish
would kill him as surely as hanging him by
the neck. The confined air between the
skin of the body and stratum of heavy
blankets gets gradually surcharged with car
bonic acid-in warm weather even to the
verge of the saturation-point. The perspira-
ton is thus forced back upon the body I;
and the lungs-perhaps already weakened
by disease-have to do double work.--Dr.
Felir L. Ospald, in Popular Science Monthly

the numerous medicines and so-called cures, but

How to Sleep.

The question of chief Importance to most
people in these overweight, wakeful days
and nights is how to get good sleep enough.
DIR. Corning drops few simple hints which
may be of value. In the first place, people
should have a regular time for going to
sleep, and it should be as soon as can well
be after sunset. People who sleep at any
time, according to convenience, get less ben
eft from their sleep than others getting
sleep becomes more difficult; there is a
tendency to nervous excitability and de-
rangement; the repair of the system does
not equal the waste. The more finely Or
ganized people are the greater the difficulty
and the danger from the cause. The first
thing in order to sleep well is to 60 to bed
st regular hour, and make it as early as
possible. The next thing is to exclude all
worry and exciting subjects of thought from
the mind sometime before retiring. The
body and mind must be let down from the
high-pressure strain before going to bed, so
that nature can assert her rightful su-
premacy afterward. Another point is, never
to thwart the drowsy impulse when it comes
at the regular time by special efforts to keep
awake, for this drowsiness is the advance
guard OF healthy, restorative sleep. Sleep
is boon which must not be tempered with
and put off, for if compelled to wait, it
is never so perfect and restful as if taken in
its own natural time and way. The right
side is the best to sleep on, except in special
cases Of disease, and the position should
be nearly horizontal. Finally, the evening
meal should be composed of food most
easily digested and assimilated, SO that the
stomach will have little hard work to do.
A heavy, rich dinner taken in the evening
is one of the things that murder sleep.
Late suppers with exciting food and stimu-
lating drinks make really restorative sleep
next to impossible. Narcotics are to be
avoided, cave as used, in cases Of disease, by
competent physicians. The proper time,
according to DR.. Corning, to treat sleepless-
ness is in the daytime, and'it must be
treated by wise and temperate method of
living rather than by medicines. This is
good common sense. And doubtless a vast
deal of the debility, the nervous derange-
ment, and the insanity of our time would
be prevented by more good, restful natural
sleep.-New York Star.
