sold for the Liquidating Board Taxes for
the year 1882. You can redeem same in
this office without interest and penalties,
If paid before the lst of November next;
after that date heavy penalties will be
added. Respectfully,
JOSEPH UHL, Clerk.
As the lot indicated has house on it
where numerous young juvenile and un-
finished American citizens call upon the
parental owners of the roof for rations
three times day, by unanimous vote, and
for school books, shoes, etc, nearly as
often, sthe party notified hied away to
headquarters as soon as possible. Mr..
Uhl, the urbane and painstaking clerk.
informed him that the lot had been bid in
according to law for liquidating taxes for
the year l882-taxes which Mr.. McGowan
had been onjolned from collecting.' 1t is
unnecessary to add that the tax was paid
on the spot with the following additional
items Costs of sale and confirming
same, ST. costs Of redemption, Zoe; for
which a proper receipt was given. There
are probably hundreds of others whose
property has been sold for triaing sum
without their knowledge, and It would be
well for city taxpayers to inquire into the
matter. OF course, the State could not
make or acquire valid title under such
blind and one sided proceeding, but the
owners of property can be put to much
expense and trouble. Such a sale clouds
the title. The real remedy in all such
cases is TO go to the courthouse and pay up
at once. There are two things that we are
certain Of yea, three, namely; death,
taxes and costs, and after these, penalties.

How to Fail asleep.

| have often noticed that when Ell
gagged in deep thought, particularly
at night, there seemed to be something
like compression of the eyelids, the
upper ones especially, and the eyes
themselves We're apparently turned
upward, as if looking in that direc-
ton. This invariably occurred; and
the moment that, by an effort, ares
ted the course of thought, and freed
the mind from the subject with which
it was engaged, the eyes resumed
their normal position and the com
preston of the eyelids ceased. Now
it occurred to me one night that |
would not allow the eyes to turn up
ward, but keep them determinedly in
the opposite position as if looking
down; and having done so for a short
time, [ found that the mind did not
revert to the thoughts with which it
had been occupied, and l soon fell
asleep. | tried the plan again with
the same result, and after an exper-
fence of two years, | can truly say
that, unless when something special
ly annoying or worrying occurred, l
have been able to 20 to sleep very
shortly after retiring to rest. There
may occasionally be some difficult
ty in keeping the eyes in the position
l have described, but a determined
effort to do SO is all that is required.
and | am certain # kept ir the down
looking position it will be found that
composure and sleep will be the re
suit.
1t may be said that as the contin-
ued effort to keep the eyeballs in a
certain position so diverts the atten-
ton as to free the mind from the dis
agreeable subject with which it had
been engaged, sleep will follow as a
natural consequence. 1t is not i'm
probable that this is to some extent
correct; and if so, it is we'll that by
means SO simple and so easily adopted,
such desirable result can be secured.
But | think this is not the only nor
the principal reason. The position in
which the eyes should be kept is the
natural one; they are at ease in it.;
and when there is no compression of
the lids or knitting of the brows, the
eyes are relaxed This condition is
much more favorable for sleep than
for mental activity or deep thought.

Wanted n Will.

free BreSS.
a colored man about sixty years of
age, blind in one eye and walking
with cane, hobbled into the Office Of
a GrIswold street lawyer yesterday
and announced that he desired to
make his will.
Got much property to leave2"
asked the lawyer
well, sab, lie possessed q a dog,
a cook-stove, a wheelDarrow and
two tlatirons dat my fust wife left
me-
And whom are you going to leave
them to-"
My darter Nancy, ober on Indiana
street. I've married agin, you know,
an | wants to put that property whar'
my present wife can't git it. She doan'
git muffin belongin' to me if | can
help it"
1T will cost you S. to have a will
drawn"
"Shoo! Can't cost dat2''
Eyes, it will"
Den reckon I'll adminiStrate on
my stuff afore die. Wouldn't dat
worll?"
Certainly"
Den I'll run de dog off, lend de
wheelbarrow. pocket de tlat-irons, an
stan by to rush de cook stove outer de
house the fust time de old woman goes
TO de grocery. Kin git warrant
heah!'
What for?'
Fur assault and battery. When
de ole woman finds what lie done
she'll walk all ODER me, an might as
we'll save time by gittin' out de war

He was directed to the proper place,
and he went away saying that it
would perhaps be still better to have
her arrested and sent up for ninety
days in advance

How Medicine Is Taken

Says the British Quarterly Review:
1t is to be feared that to most people
medicine is not an erudite science or
learned art, but is little more than
the commonplace administration of
phys:c. They can not understand
medicine without drugs, and its vir-
tue and power are popularity meas
ured by the violence of its operations.
Its very name is in ordinary parlance
synonymous with physic. Take from
it its pills and potions, and from them
you take away its whole art and mys-
terry They do not believe in a scheme
of treatment, however deep-laid and
sklllful, which does not include GER
tam statutory dosage. So that as a
rule, medical men are practically com
PEELED to give their patients visible
object of faith in some form of phySic,
which may be at most designed to
effect some very subordinate purpose.
And 1t is remarkable how strongly
even among the educated classes this
feeling prevails. Cures by the admin
istration of mixtures and boluses is so
fixed and ancient tradition, that it is
only very slowly that the world will
give it up. The anxiety of the friends
of the patient wants to do more than
follow the simple directions of "nur-
sing" which have been so carefully
indicated. and possesses apparently SO
little remedial power. There is nothing
of the unknown about them in which
a Euttering hope of great advantage
can nestle. Thus it is necessary to
educate the world into belief in
medicine apart from drugs, which
finds its power of curing in adaptation
of common conditions of life and APP
piications of physical facts-a medi-
cine which takes into its hands the
whole life, and orders and fashions its
every detail with scientific definite
ress. 1t is found in everyday practice
that this popular misunderstanding of
the modern spirit of medicine con-
stantly checks the little tentative adj
vances of a more scientific treatment,
and it is necessary that it should be
generally understood how powerfully
the various processes of the economy
may be effected by the manipulation
of the condition of common life.
