HOW TO SLEEP WE'LL.

No healthful sleep comes except that
which follows voluntary or involuntary
action of the body. Pedestrians fall
into sound, deep sleep as soon as put to
bed, at the appointed time for rest.
This is the sleep from voluntary
muscular exercise. A person in
good health sits around the house all
day; an invalid may all day sit and
lounge and lie down from morning un-
til night without sleeping and both the
healthy man and the invalid, in the
course of the evening, will become sleepy
and fall into sound repose, the. result of
the WEAKNESS which involuntary action
brings about for the various organs of
the body, the heart, the liver, the stom-
ach, the eyelids, work steadily every
day. The intestines are as ceaseless in
their motion as the waves of the ocean;
as these latter are always dashing to-
ward the shore, SO is the great viscereal
machinery working, working, working,
pushing the wastes Of the body down.
ward and outward from the first breath
OF existence to the last gasp of life.
There is not a movement of the system,
voluntary or Involuntary, external or
internal, which does not require power
to cause it. When that power is to a
certain extent exhausted, instinct brings
on the sensation of sleepiness, which is
the result of exhausted power, intended
by nature to secure that cessation from
activity which gives time for recupera-
tlon, very much as man who runs for
while stops and rests, so as to get
stronger to run again. We get up in
the morning with a certain amount of
reserved or accumulated strength in
the course of the day that strength be-
comes expended to the point necessary
for the commencement of a new supply,
which comes from rest, the rest from
sleep. Opium narcotics, all forms of
anodynes, cause sleep artifcialIy, com,
pelling rest. A horse may be tired so
that he cannot move; he is compelled
to be at rest; it is not the rest of tired
ness, hence it is unnatural. Anodynes,
in sense, tie man down they take
away his power Of motion, they compel
a rest, but it is not the rest which is the
result of used-up strength, hence it is an
artificial rest causing an artificial sleep,
not natural and sleep which is rnnat-
ural cannot be healthful hence the
truth of the first utterances of this
chapter er-healthful sleep comes from the
expenditure Of the strength of the body
in various forms OF exercise. Halls

are printed, Is made at Dalton, Mass,
IN an cid mill, whose existence dates
back to Colonial times. IF you should
stop at the old paper mill, with proper

paper, or take a peep at the pulp press,
where. asthewet, grayish pulp is pressed
between heavy iron cylinders, bits Of
blue and red silk thread are scattered
over its face and silken ribs laid on its
surface. You may go beyond into the
counting-room, where each sheet as it
comes from the drying-room is carefully
examined and counted and then returned
to the paper cutter to be divided into
smaller sheets. If you trace this paper
still further you will find that from the
cutters hands it passes again to the
counting-room, is separated into little
packages containing 1000 sheets each,
the amount recorded in register, and
then packed into bundles and stored IN
fire aud burglar-proof vaults to await
shipment to the United States treasury.
From pulp room to vault the precious

'Tis the law of bush and stone,

Nor pictures pale, but Jove and Mars.
Hast thou named all the birds without gun?

When half-gods go
The gods arrive.
What is excellent,
AS God lives, is permanent;
Hearts are dust, hearts loves remain.
Born for the future, to the future lost.

To gaze upon the pyramids.

Or ever the wild Time coined itself
Into calendar months and days.

VACCINE POINTS.

There are several places in different
parts of the United States where there
are stables or farms where business is
made of supplying the market, so to
speak, with "vaccine points," There
is such place in Chicago, a farm at
Fond du Lac, Wis, another place at
Cleveland, Chic, also at Chambersburg.
Pa, and Chelsea, Mass. When q per-
son starts to prepare a number OF ami
mails, he inoculates the first heifer with
cow.pox, and then he transfers il from
that heifer to the others he desires to
use. The best and healthiest heifers are
selected for this operation; these heifers
are generally Herefords and Devons.
The operation does not injure them at
all, and after they recover they are
quite as well fitted for the farm
or dairy as if they had never been inoc-
ulated. The vaccine points" are taken
from the udders of the heifers. and in
cities like Chicago these "points" are
seld at 10 cents each, wholesale. It
may be interesting to add that not many
years ago it was feared the genuine cow
pox was lost; but it was discovered by a
French scientist in France, and low no
apprehension is felt, as there are so
many places in the United States alone
where its preservation Is well guarded.

A CURIOUS LEGEND.

This curious Hessian legend is re-
corded by the Brothers Grimm: 4
man kills his brother while they ore out
hunting, and buries the corpse under
the arch of bridge. Years pass. One
day, a shepherd, CLOSING the bridge
with his flock, sees below little white
bone, shining like eivory. He goes down,
picks it up, and carves it into mouth
piece for his bagpipes. When he began
to play, the mouth-piece, to his horror,
began to sing Of its own accord:
"Oh, my dear shepherd! you are
playing on one ofmy bones by brother
assassinated me and buried me under the
bridge"
The shepherd, terrified, took his bag
pipes to the King, who put the mouth
piece to his lips, when straightway the
refrain began
"Oh, my dear King! you are playing
On one of my bones my brother assassi-
mated me and buried me under the
bridge"
The King ordered all his subjests to try
in turn the bagpipes. From mouth to
mouth the instrument passed to that Of
the fratricide, and then it sang:
"Oh, my dear brother you are pay
ing on one of my bones it was you who
assassinated me !"
And the King ordered the murderer
to be executed.

Australian Fortunes.

IA. Forbes, in the Contemporary Reviewl
Socially, money Will do very much
In America; iudiciously expended,
think it will do even more in England:
in the way of sheer purchase of social
recognition it will do curiously little in
Australia. There was, indeed, time
when in a social sense the moneyed man
was regarded with actual suspicion.
And for this there were some grounds.
The original moneyed man might have
had unpleasant antecedents, of which
time had not yet effaced the memory.
But now there Is vast number of mon
eyed men IN Australia, and the means
whereby their wealth has come to them
are known as reasonably saYory. They
have therefore ceased to be regarded
with suspicion.
do not think people at home have
any idea how large fortunes are in Aus
tralia, and how many of those large for
tunes there are. Once in South Aus
tralia had occasion to speak of friend
who had come from that colony and Ia
ken up his residence In London. I
spoke of him as very rich man. "Oh,
no, was the answer, ''he is very well
off, but we dent reckon him a rich
man." "Why," said |, 81 understood
him TO be worth quarter Of a million !"
"Well, [ hope he is little better than
that, said my interlocutor, "but still
we don't reckon him here as very rich"
I am not going to compile a roll of
Australian mllhOnaires, because, for one
thing, it would take up too much space.
But this | may affirm, that two thirds
OF them are not in society, nor nourish
any hope of ever being admitted within
that pale. If you find one of them in
side it, he has not crossed the palisade
on the golden ladder; he entered by the
gate in virtue of his social attributes.
Ii these are unsatisfactory, you will find
him outside among the netrles; or again,
it may be, far away in the bush, man
content with himself aud caring for
none of these things. For it must be
said that in Australia there is no uni
versal aspiration after the flower garden
of society. But the moneyed aspirant
will not find that his wealth gives him
social prestige. There are Australians
now in England who have entertained
royalty, and whose guest-ists have filed
columns of the Morning Post, yet who,
in their native land, have never, with all
their efforts, got further than the out
lying fringes of Australian society.

AS an illustration of the growing dairy
prosperity of the northwest, We note the
decline of the beef raising business in

cause Iowa raises less stock than for
merly, but because she raises more for
dairy purposes; and, where's dairies
abound, beef raising. is of secondary i'm
portance.
PRoF. l.. B. ARNOLD says dairy farm
costs 10 per cent. less to operate than
grain growing or mixed agriculture; sec
ond, the mean. returns average little
more thai other branches; third, prices
are nearer uniform, and more reliable;
fourth, dairying exhousts the soil less;

AN American correspondent of the
London Live Stock Journal, in compar-
ing the sales of blooded cattle on both
SIDES of the Atlantic this year, says the
range of shorthorns has been higher in

polled stock has ruled decidedly higher
IN Scotland. He compares the Jersey
craze now with the shorthorn craze of
some years ago, saying that this second
one, like the first, is bound to react.
