EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.

The notion is widely prevalent that it is
unhealthy to eat late at night or just before
retiring. This came from the severe denun-
citation of 'late suppers'' contained in near
ly all the old popular works on diet. But it
was the midnight debauch that was the OBJ
ject of attack, and even here it was less the
gluttony than the drunkenness which alarm
ed the doctors and called forth their repre-
tensions. A man may induce GpopleXy by
gorging himself with food at any hour of the
day. >,
Man is the only animal that can be taught
to sleep quietly on an empty stomach. The
brute creation resent all efforts to coax them
to such violation of the laws of nature.
The lion roars in the forest until he has found
his prey. The horse will paw all night in
the stable, and the pig in the pen, refusing
all rest or sleep until they are fed The ami
mails which chew the cud have their own
provision for the late meal just before drop
ping off to their night slumbers.
| Man can train himself to the habit OF
sleeping without a preceding meal, but only
after long years of practice. AS he comes
into the world nature is too strong for him,
and he must be fed before he will sleep. A
childs stomach is small, and when per-
fectly filled, if no sickness disturbs it, sleep
follows naturally and inevitably. AS diges-
ton goes on the stomach begins to empty.
A single fold in it will make the little sleep
er restless; two will awaken it and if it is
hushed again to repose the nap is short, and
three folds put an end to the slumber. Par
agoric or other narcotics may close its eyes
again, but without food or some stupefying
drug it will not sleep, no matter how heal
thy it may be. Not even an angel who
learned the art of minstresy in a celestial
choir can sing babe to sleep on an empty
stomach.
1t is fact established beyond the posi-
bility of contradiction that sleep aids diges-
ton, and that the process of digestion is con-
ducive to refreshing sleep. 1t needs no ar
gument to convince us of this mutual rea-
ton. The drowsiness which always follows
well-ordered meal is itself a testimony of
nature to this interdependence.
The waste of human life by the neglect of
the lesson is very great. The daily wear
and tear of the body might be restored more
fully than it usually is if this simple rule
was not Systematically violated.-Dard ~.

BUSINESS IN UToP1A.-Jacob Schneider
and Heinrich Baumgarten, two honest,
hardworking Germans, settled on the clear
fork of the Sandies, in Gonzales county,
about the year 1S4S. They picked up some
little knowledge of the English language
from their scattered neighbors, and in 1850
were somewhat inoculated with the Gus
toms of the people.
Schneider sold horse to Baumgarten on
six months credit and got a neighbor to
draw up the note for the money. Baum
garten signed the note, and then said to
Schneider:
swat must do NIT desc note?"
Schneider said: "You geeps der node,

Baumgarten said: "Dot ish goot."

brought the money and the note to Schnei-
der and paid him the money, and said:

A Man With Five Wives.
pall Mall Gazette .

A remarkable case of alleged polygamy
is before Mr.. Keys, queens counsel, the
Dublin police magistrate. A wretched-
looking man. beyond middle age, with
bald head and poorly dressed, named
O'Brien Dennis Molloy, described as of
no business, was charged with having
on the 18th of last March married Rob-
ertina Elizabeth Green, his former wife,
Jane Murray, alias. Molloy, being then
and still alive. The address of the pris-
oner was given as Ashfield, Stillorgan
road, Booterstown. His father, who is
a magistrate, is still alive. The police
believe that the prisoner has been mar
ried to five women, all of whom are still
alive. The first marriage took place in
the year 1850. and two years afterward
he married young eirl from Cork, by
whom he had several children. He is
stated to have altogether % children
