How to Sleep,

Health and comfort depend very much
on attention to matters that to SOME
seem very trivial. We have sometimes
heard persons complain that they did
not sleep well; that they were troubled
with horrible dreams, and arose in the
morning weary and nervous. Inquiries
as to diet, exercise and other essentials
of health have often failed to reveal
anything that could account for these
uniavorable conditions.
It is not we'll in these cases to limit
our investigations to the routine Of day,
but we should inquire at what hour the
patient goes to bed, what he thinks
about usually, and, most particular, what
position he places himself in to invite
sleep. IF he lies on the back with his
hands over his head, there will be q
half.conscious sense of compression of
the chest, with difficult breathing, to
relieve which he opens his mouth. The
air coming in direct contact with the
throat causes dryness, and then snoring
will begin. In the meantime the pres
sure OF the viscera on the large artery
OF the backbone impedes the circulation
~ NA1O OAOou8 pAoNuSA.5 NASSOAAIOAU,
which manifests itself in horrid dreams.
Thus the whole night is passed in a
disturbed sleep, and perhaps many
nights pass without one refreshing sleep.
The most unwise course under such cir
cumstances would be to resort to the
use Of opium or any other drug. The
ranks of the victims of this unfortunate
habit ars recruited mainly from such
cases as we have described. 1t is WON
derful what control an individual can
get over himself if he tries. There is no
reason why person cannot lie on his
side instead OF the back, and keep his
hands and arms down; then he will not
open his mouth; then his throat will not
become dry, neither will he snore or
have bad dreams. But often he can't
help thinking about his business, and his
thoughts will run on for hours This is
also a habit that may be broken up.
Have the will to put aside your thoughts,
and in time you will have the power to
do so. We do not say that there are not
other causes that habitually interfere
with sound sleep; but we believe there
| is q remedy for each difficulty, which
may be found be seeking for it.-Halls

kerchiefs for Fair Necks.
rom the New York Evenino Poet

from the New YORK Evening Post.
Light coverings for the throat, to take
the place of the fur collar, are almost
exclusively confined to large Chinese
silk handkerchiefs, made in the new in
describable colors, so difficult to classify,
pale green's, for example that are near
ly yellow, reds closely bordering on
terra-cotta, or deep orange, crushed
raspberry, looking very much like lob
ster, and 80 on. These kerchiefs envelop
the throat very softly, take UP little room
below the neck-band, and, if selected
advisedly, many of these nondescript
tints prove eminently becoming, but
with discretion in selecting the wearer's
complexion may prove nothing less than
CHASTITY. Brocaded SATIN kerchiefs in
two or three colors, are sometimes pre-
fer, ed to those in monochrome. and
there are also fancy plaided and check
cred kerchieis to match the costume,
which many may choose. Paisley pat
terms and Oriental designs all figure con-
spicuously around fair Threats. Ifpre-
ferred the handkerchief is laid over the
jacket and loosely knotted in front, a Ia
marine. With the wide brimmed sailor
hat for very young girls this is sympa-
thetic mode of arrangement.

Temperance Reading.
Temperance in England.


The London Standard has some inter-
esting statistics in regard to the progress
of Temperance principles and practice
in England, and the consequent diminu-
ton of the evil effects of intoxicating
drinks. In 1877 DR.. Gilbert calculated
that tifty-four per cent. of the cases of
insanity in the United Kingdom arose
from drink; for this total there may
now be substituted thirty-two. Accord
ing to Mr.. Nelson's well-known tables,
habltual intemperance produces, as q
rule, death in women after fourteen
years, and in men after between fifteen
and eighteen years. Among the lower
orders beer is estimated by the same
authority as killing in twenty-five years,
and spirits in seventeen. While the
deaths of which drunkenness could be
directly assigned as the cause rose from
twenty-nine per million in 1870 to forty
five per million in 1876, it is computed
that in 1881 they had sunk to thirty per
million. But the idea conveyed by
mere numbers is wholly inadequate to
express the realities to which they cor
respond. The change indicated by
them in the social habits of the popula-
ton is enormous. Some of these were
mentioned by Mr.. Game in his address
to the Central Temperance Association.
Thus, to take single instance, COM
mercial travellers who, only fifteen
years ago, were called upon to pay
at hotels for a bottle of wine whether
they drank it or noticing charged
in consideration of this usage only
shilling for their dinner-are charged
now three shillings for that meal, but
are not expected to order anything ''for
the good OF the house." Mr.. Game also
narrated a personal experience, from
which it may be hoped that the practice
of ''wetting bargain" is gradually fall
ing into disuetude. 1t is to be feared
that in most great commercial cities,
furnished as they are with their wine
shades and subterranean drinking
saloons, there is still a good deal too
much tipping at odd hours. But, on
the whole, no one can shut his eyes to
the fact that there exists a strong and
growing public opinion against drunk
enness, even among those who are less
rigidly abstemious than might be desir-
able. For the first time in the history
of England, intoxication, irrespective of
the social level on which it may be seen,
carries with it lasting stigma. The
whole tendency of the day is opposed to
excessive drinking. The Temperance
movement is, as Mr. Game pointed out,
not only making a great number of tee
totalers, but influencing those who are
not abstainers greatly to decrease the
amount they take. At the great ma
jority of dinner parties the quantity of
wine taken after the ladies have leftthe
room is very small; and if Thackeray
were to rewrite Chapter X. in his "Book
of Snobs," he would represent Captain
Rag and Ensign Famish as ordering
'lemon squash in the small hours,
rather than a sixth glass of whisky
punch.-M. Y. Observer.
