THE LIME-KILN CLUB.
THE ICE QUESTION.

Rear Admiral Clingbone secured tn.
floor to inquire if the honorable mem
berS of the club were to be fed on luke.
warm water at every meeting this sum-
Iner, or whether the Finance Committee
intend to contract for ice. If the for
mer case he should arrange to bring a
bottle of cold tea with him.
Brother Gardner replied that he con.
sidered ice an unnecessary expense. AT
home he buried his butter in barrel in
the ground and hung the milk pitcher
on the north side of the cabin. He had
lately been making experiments with
pail of water and had discovered that an
iron wedge in the bottom of pail i'm
parted an all-sufficient coldness. The
Finance Committee was empowered to
buy cheap secondhand wedge and
have it on had at the next meeting.
PARTICULARS WANTED.
The Chairman of the Committee on
Mercies and Charities then announced a
letter from the Mayor of Buffalo asking
the Lime-Kiln Club to subscribe to a
fund to be used in founding an ''Insti.
tuition for Decayed Chimney-Sweeps
and Played-out White-W ashers."
Samuel Shin moved that the club SUBJ
scribe $1,000, but before he had quit
stammering the President brought his
gavel down with thump and replied:
''Brudder Shin, drap back, an doan'

place, whar' am dis asylum to be built?
Who am to boss it? Who am to hold
de cash? Am it in de interest of white
folks or black? Befo' dis club pledges
itself to any Enterprise it wants to know
few particulars"
A MEAN TRICK.
Trustee Pullback then arose and said
he desired to expose a mean trick.
When the colored men of Lansing de-
cided to celebrate Emancipation Day
they went to j. G. Ford, keeper of the
Senate cloak-room and an honorary
member of the Lime-Kiln Club who has
taken twenty-seven degrees, and be-
sought him to write out the matter for
the advertising. Brother Ford sings a
pen weighing pound and a half, and
he produced a hand-bill sparkling with
such terms as '.Yoke of bondage"
"Grand old Stars and Stripes, "s.Blessed
boon of liberty" and ssThe guardian
angel of the oppressed" What did the
colored element of Grand Rapids do but
decide on splitting off and holding a
celebration there the same day, and
meaner than all, they stole all the gilt
edged terms and sentences of Brother
Ford's Lansing hand-bill! Brother Pull
back thought the club should take some
action.
Giveadam Jones moved that Brother
Ford be presented with the sympathies
of the club and linen duster costing
ten shillings, and that all applications
for membership from Grand Rapids fol
the next six months be marked IN. G.''

Hints on Sleep.

The question of chief importance to
most people in these overwrought wake
full days and nights is how to get good
sleep enough. DR.. Corning drops a
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; get
ting sleep becomes more difficult; there
is tendency to nervous excitability and
arrangement; the repair of the system
does not equal the waste. The more
finely organized people are, the greater
the difficulty and the danger from this
cause. The first thing in order to sleep
well is to 60 to bed at 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 some time 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 right
ful supremacy afterward Another
point is, never thwart the drowsy i'm
pulse when 1t comes at the regular time
by special efforts to keep awake, for
this drowsiness is the advance guard OF
healthy, restorative sleep. Sleep is a
boon which must not be tampered with
and put off, for if compelled to wait, it
is never SO perfect and restful as if tax
en- 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 horizon
tai. Finally, the evening meal should
be composed of food most easily digest
ed 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 foods and
stimulating drinks make really restora-
tive sleep next to impossible. Narcot-
les are to be avoided, save as used in
cases of disease by competent physi-
clans. The proper time, according to
Dr. Corning, to treat sleeplessness 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, says the New York Star,
from which paper we copy, and doubt
less vast deal of debility, nervous de-
rangement, and the insanity of our time
would be prevented by more good, rest
full, natural sleep.

no interval of rest, but steady drag of
twelve months of the year-without

Does MINING Pav2


George w. Peck, in a recent letter
from Denver, says: Mining, like Nor
monism, is liable to be overdone If
there was a dog whistle inserted in
every mining hole in Colorado, that
has never panned out cent, and a
steam fog whistle inserted in every hole
that has paid enough to speak of, and
all should blow at once, the dog whistles
would drown the fog whistles by great
majority. If all the abandoned mining
holes in the hills had voices, and could
tell the days of hard work, days of suf-
fering and starvation, of the nights of
sleeplessness. and dreams of gold never
to be realized, of the weary steps home
ward on empty stomachs, of the poor,
dduded fellows who came here believ-
ing that gold could be got anywhere,
those voices would make new corners
pay attention. If the trails over the
mountains and across the snow, could
tell of the heavy hearts that have been
over them, and could picture the
thoughts of home and loved ones that
the pilgrims have indulged in, as with
bruised feet they plodded along towards
the mirage Eldorado, and of the places
where tired and heart-broken men have
lain down to die, there would not be
many people getting crazy over mining.
But probably l have said enough to
show that | am not much mashed on
mining, and if these few words shall
lead any man who has decided to put a
few hundred dollars into wildcat
mine to change his mind and buy his
wife silk dress, am sure the invest
ment will pan out more happiness to the
ton of human ore, to both him and his
wife. And if this article shall be the
means of deterrlng any young man
from throwing up a good job in the East
and leaving home, associations and low
ing friends, to come out here to associ-
ate with condensed jackasses, that pack
frying-pans and salt horse over noun
tain trails in the search for will-o'-the
wisp gold, that has six men for every
ounce of gold already on the trail, l shall
feel that this uninteresting article is not
written in vain. If you want to come to
Colorado for health, come. If you want
to see the finest scenery in the world,
spend money royalty, and see and get
acquainted with a large-hearted people.
come. But, the fellows that are already
here know all about the mining, and can
attend to it without any new men or the
war path.
