How to Fall Asleep.

l had often noticed that when en-
gagged in deep thought, particularly at
night, there seemed to be something
like compression of the cyelids, the
upper one especially, and the eyes
| themselves were apparently turned up
ward, as if looking in that direction.
This invariably occurred; and the next
moment that, by an effort, / arrested
the course of thought, and freed the
mind from the subject with which it
was engaged, the eyes resumed their
normal position and the compression
of the lids ceased. Now it occurred to
me one night that l would not allow
the eyes to turn upward, but keep them
determinedly in the opposite position,
as if looking down; and having done
so for a short time l found that the
mind did not revert to the thoughts
with which it had been occupied, and
soon fell asleep. tried the plan again
with the same result; and after an ex-
perience OF two years, l can truly say
that, unless something specially annoy
ing or worrying occurred, i have always
been able to go to sleep very shortly
after retiring to rest. There may oc-
casionally be some difficulty in the po-
sition have described but determin-
ed effort to do so is all that is required,
and L am certain that if kept in the
down-looking position it will be found
that composure and sleep will be the
result.
1t may be said that as the continued
effort to keep the eyeballs in q certain
position so diverts the attention as to
free the mind from the disagreeable
subject with which it had been engag-
ed, sleep will follow as natural con-
sequence. 1t is not improbable that
this is to some extent correct; and if
so, it is well that by means so simple
and so easily adopted, such desirable
result can be secured. But think this
is not tho 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 where there is no COM
preston of the lids or knitting of the
brows, the muscles connected with and
surrounding the eyes are relaxed. This
condition Is much more favorable for
sleep than for mental activity or deep
thought. Chambers Journal.

A Remarkable Cave in Devonshire.

The opening article in the December
Century ~ II description of Devonshire,
entitled, 1.-The Faircst County in En-
gland, by Francis George Heath. or
Kent's Cavern, in the vicinity of Tor
quay, 4 remarkable cave consisting of
great excavation in the Devonian
limestone, the writer says: 1T is en-
tered by Il narrow passage some Z feet
wide and only 5 feet in height. The
central cavern which is almost 600 feet
long, has a number of smaller caverns
or corridors leading out from it. Its
farther extremity is terminated by Il
deep pool of water. In the bed of this
cavern modern research has been re-
warded by some deeply interesting dis
coveries. Over the original earth bot
tom of the cave is bed or layer of
considerable thickness, in which are
contained strange mixtures OF human
bones with the bones of the elephant
and the rhinoceros, the hycna, the bear
and the wolf, intermingled with stone
and flint tools, arrow and spear heads,
and fragments of coarse pottery. The
animal remains testify to the presence
in the ancient forests of Britain of
beasts of prey which long since have
become extinct. Speculation may be
exhausted in the endeavor to account
for the curious intermingling in this
cavern of the remains of human beings
and wild animals. The place may
have been used for shelter successfully
by man and by the lords of the forest;
or, as the'presence of the rude weapons
OF man might seem to indicate, the
beasts of the field may have been
brought into this natural recess as
trophies of the chase, and their flesh
and skins used for purposes of food and
clothing. Nothing less than the most
persevering and enthusiastic search
could have discovered the interesting
remains which, for vast period of
time, had been buried in this retreat;
for the fossils were covered by thick
floor of stalagmite which had been
formed, there can be no doubt, by great
blocks of limestone which had fallen
from time to time, extending over
very heightened period, from the roof
of the cavern, and become cemented
into one mass by the perpetual percola-
tons of lime-water from above"

day, amt itp' asked the tenderfoot
"Yes," said the honest miner. Looks
like rain; don't you think SOP" "No,"
said the honest miner. 'Indeedr' said
the tenderfoot; ''why, from the looks
OF the sky, I'm certain it is going to

miner, indulgently, "but I've been here

tenderfoot concluded it would stay
dry.
There are some men with SO nice a
sense of pride that they would rather
die than carry market basket through
the streets. Daniel Webster used to
do it, SO did Cardinal Wolsey, so did
Luther and so did Alfred the Great,
but that is no reason why any other
man should. Each case is to be de-
cided on its own merits. But the facts
of common observation warrant the
formulation of the following rule, to-wit:
That no man ought to carry market
basket through the public streets who
has wife strong enough to carry it
for him.
A Pike county man, hearing that n
neighbor had come into possession of
strayed horse, laid claim to it as his
own. The neighbor refused to deliver
the animal up, and the case was tried
before a justice of the peace. The Court
required the plaintiff to identify the
property, and after several Intellectual
attempts to obtain description from
him finally asked whether it was black,
gray, a roam or chestnut horse. ut

with burrs in its tail" was the answer,
whereupon the Court rendered yer

and just then the door-bell rang.
1t was Mr.. Vores. He seemed to
bring new atmosphere with him as he
entered, and very soon his brightness
had communicated itself to my son, so
that his face regained its usual cheer
fulness.

Philip turn his head quickly in my di-
rection.
"You did not tell me, mother" he
said.
Nelson Vores changed the subject,
and was soon deep in a political argu-
ment with my boy, to whom l read the
paper daily, so that he was as well in
formed of what was going on as most
people.
The acquaintance so oddly begun
ripened into intimacy. AS the time
slipped away we grew to know him
well, and not only him, but his whole
family-father and mother, brothers
and sisters. Phoebe Carol was some
times there, for she and Alice Vores,
the eldest sister, were old friends.
Spring changed into summer; autumn
tints began to appear on the few old
elms in our neighborhood, and still
the shadow chung to my poor Phil.
Only of such times as we were alone

to be.
1 thought it best to wait and see what
time would do, and endeavored more
than ever to find him interests and
pleasures in which he could join. He
would not listen to any hint of leaving
town.
''Unless you need the change your
self, darling" he said whenI proposed
it; and sometimes wondered whether
1t would be wrong to get him away
under that pretence.
One autumn evening Nelson Vores
and his sister Alice, were at our house.
l went upstairs with Alice when they
were going, and then she said some
thing that gave me chill.
What is wrong with Mr.. Mullerp"
she asked, lowering her voice as though
she feared its sound might reach those
below.

The Ciinon RESOLUTIONS.

Much indignation Is felt herelat
the unjust attacks made upon the
Judge, Jury, and the Counsel, who
were engaged lin the trial Of young
Kirby for the murder Of Hill, by "a
series Of resolutions lately adopted,
At a meeting held in Clifton, and
which have been printedandsen

thinking men these resolutions
will have no weight, because they

surprised that any newspaper
would publish such d libel, without
giving the names Of tho parties
who are responsible for them, and
not eyeen then without knowing
that the charges were true. The

authors Of the resolutions violate
the first and noblest rule Of the

eminent English law writer says:

man Is entitled, by reason and
natural justice since without these
it is impossible to have the perfect
