The Proper Position for Sleeping.
From the London World.
A German, Baron Reichenbach, has occupied
many years in studying the art Of bed making
or rather bed placing, and maintains that i'm
properly placed beds will shorten mans life.
1t mere magnet exercises an influence 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 needle to the pole"
The proper direction Of the body is Of the ut
most importancefor the proper circulation Of the
blood, and many disturbances in the organisms
have been cured By simply placing the bolster In
a different point Of the compass from that it had
occu pied. Let such as have hitherto been in
the habit Of sleeping with their heads where
their feet ought to be take t0heart the example
of the late DIR. Elschwester. Of Magdeburg, who
died recently at the age OF 100 years.
The most unhealthy position, We are told Il
when the body lies due east and west Some
observers assure Us that to sleep in such pos
ture Is tantamount to committing suicide. and
that diseases are often aggravat ed by deviations
from the proper posturea.

The Lewiston Journal OF yesterday says: "a
sad accident occurred in the Plummer School
district Saturday evening Miss Lizzie Smith,
Portland young lady, who has been teaching
in that district. had just taken seat in the
carriage to accompany Miss George Murray
and her brother, Mr.. Elmer Murray, to an
evening sociable at the church. Mr.. Murray
had gathered up the reins and was about to
step into the carriage when the horse began to
back. He backed and twisted, cramping the
wheel. Both young ladies became frightened
and both jumped from the carriage while the
horse was backing. Miss Smith fell into sort
of gulley by the wayside. When she was
picked up it was found that both bones in her
right ankle were badly fractured. Miss Smith
had just begun the school year.

Snow on the Mountains,

party of ladies aud gentlemen who left
Portland yesterday morning to spend the day
in enjoyment of the autumn scenery of the
White Mountains had peculiar experience.
The morning was fair and promised fine day.
The weather report for New England in
dicated fair weather with local rains; but local
rains may mean showers anywhere between
the New York line and the sea. Soon after
the train started the sky became overcast and
gradually the clouds thickened until it began
raining before Fryeburg was reached. Soon
after leaving Bartlett the train ran into snow
storm, and all the way up the Notch the snow
was falling fast. Those who occupied the plat
forms to view the scenery to better advantage
found their outlook shut off by thick banks of
cloud and the air was extremely cold While
the prospect was thus limited partial compen-
sation was found in the peculiar effect of
couds and falling snow on the sides of the
mountains and in the deep gorges When
Crawford's was reached the snow was nearly
an inch desp, and rain having fallen previous
~, it was sloppy walk from the station to the
Crawford House. Inside the hotel, however,
everything was cheerful. Fires of huge logs
blazed in the fireplaces for the benefit of the
few lingering guests and the newcomers great
~ enjoyed their comfort after rough ex-
perience. All the afternoon the air was filled
with driven snow while the moaning OF the
leafy woods could be plainly heard. 1t was
mid-January experience on the second of
October. Just before the train from Montreal
arrived snow ceased falling, and the clouds
partially lifted revealing the mountain heads
In their cold. gray majesty. The ride home
ward through the Notch was one long to be
remembered. AT times the view was entirely
obscured by thick clouds and then suddenly
the train would sweep into comparatively
clear space where all the immediate peaks and
chasms were distinctly visible. while the more
distant ones were Enthusiastically yelled or draped
in cloud. The trees of the dense forests, all
In full leaf, had their vivid autumn colors
varlegated by the pure white snow which clung
to them thickly and SO heavily that every
bough and twig was bent into new curve of
grace and lovelness. The tourists did not see
precisely what they went to see, but as dark
ness closed in on the train bearing them home
ward they felt that they had seen something
more and better as well as something different
from what they xepectsd, and were not at all
dissatisfied with the surprise which in the
beginning seemed like disappointment.
