A Statistical | Medley.

One Of our most eminent man Of

book ofstatistlcs, which we noticed
the other day, is decidedly useful.
Here are few samples selected at
random from it's pages: The consump

amounted to a value Of SJSo,000.
The number of cats in the United

How to Produce Sleep.

An excess of blood in the brain
prevents sleep. How TO remove
the surplus is the problem for the
untortunates who wish to sleep but
cannot. A pump is needed for that
purpose, and it may be easily pro-
vided, as follows: Having assumed
the usual posture of repose, inhale
and exhale slowly and steadily long
breaths, devotiug the whole atten.
ton to making inhalations and ex-
halations OF exactly the same
length. The length should be much
greater than that of ordinary
breathing, although not sufficient
to disturb the circulation by work
ing the lungs to their utmost ca.
pacity. Any person who has force
of will enough to concentrate his
whole attention on the mainteu.
ance Of this style OF breathing can
compel sleep in very unfavorable
circumstances, and victims of in
somnia should know it. The value
of the method is not solely in its
holding the mind to Que object OF
thought, but the process of breath.

The Use o. Sunlowers.

This plant is a vigorous grower
and has been extolled as q proven
tative of malarial diseases. The
seed affords excellent food for hens
and also for horses. 1t is said that
there is no kind OF feed that will
keep horses in health, give them a
sleek appearance, and make them
lively anu spirited like the seed of
the sunhower, feeding half a pint
at night and morning. 1t is par
tlcularly recommended for giving
horse power of endurance, being
fed half a pint night and morning
with other feed. The stalks and
heads, after the seeds worked out,
also make good material for fires,
aud are especially convenient in
summer when quick fire is de-
sired and enduring heat is not
wanted. In their growth they
make a snowy appearance about
dwellings and give an agreeable
fragrance to the air. The latest
direction in the line OF utilization
of the sunfower. is the plant ting of
a seed in d place at the proper dis.
lance, so that the stalks as they
grow will serve as bean poles. We
have seen them started in that
way this season, and as the stalk
grows the leaves are removed, thus
forming an excellent stalk for the
beans, but What the effect Will be
upon them remains to be seen. The
roots mustta the feeding capacity
of the soil quite heavily.-German,
town Telegraph.

Care of Mich Cows.

Kind and careful treatment OF
animals may be laid down as one
of the prime conditions Of success in
dairying and stock raising. In vain
are cattle warmly housed through
the winter andsupplied with abun.
dant pasture during the summer,ii
they are at the same time subjected
to kicks aud blows in the stables,
beaten with stones in the yard, or
hurried to and from the pastures
by noisy and savage dogs. Cattle
thus treated will not thrive in flesh
and milk, even though they feed in
clover up to their knees. There is,
in fact, no class of domestic ami.
mails more responsive to kind and
gentle treatment than COWS. They
are naturally slow and deliberate
in their movements and need to be
humored in this respect. Cows
hurried and fretted by shouting
boys and barking dogs are sure to
be wild, nervous, ugly, giving little
milk, and that Of an inferior Quail
ty. When scoming home from he
pasture at milking time it is spec.
tally ueedful that COWS should be
permitted to move leisurely, to
drink by the way if they desire to
do so, aud rest if the way is long
and they are likely to become tired
and heated. In short, they should
be allowed to take time both in
coming and going, being under the
care of some one who has sense
and discretion enough to know that
nothing is gained but much lost by
hurry and worry. The difference
between COWS that are maltreated
and otherwise misused and those
that are treated kindly, is often
noticeable in a herd where one or
more are singled out as f1voiIes or
pets. These favored Individually
are generally in better flesh and
give IN re and better milk than the
others, and that for no other rea
son than that they are treated us

consideration. Tue result of kind
and thoughtful treatment in the
one case are sufficient to show that

all. In the great majority of cases
COWS that become wild and unman.
ageable are made so because of bad
treatment. at some period of their
lives they have been under the
management of men or boys with
more temper than good sense. In
any case it is the height of folly to
try to subdue unruly cattle by
pounding and kicking them or by
bounding them with dogs. Ii a

How Boys Succeed.

A few years ago drug firm in
New York city advertised for a
bov. Next day the store was
thronged with applicants, among
them a queer looking fellow, ac-
companied by awoman who proved
to be his aunt, in lieu OF faithless
parents. by whom he had been
abandoned. Looking at this wait,
he said, "Can't take him; besides,
be is too small"
81 know he is small, said the
woman, but he is willing and faith
full, and never drinks, uses tobac-
co or profane language"
There was a twinkle in the boys
eyes which made the merchant
think again. A partner in the firm
volunteered to remark that he "did
not see what they wanted with
such a boyle wasn't bigger than
pint Of cider" But after consul
tation the boy was set to work. a

The Death Of Lee.

On Wednesday, September %,
1870, the beginning of the end came.
In the morning of that day he was
busy, as usual, with official work,
refusing the assistance of which he
sometimes availed himself; and in
the afternoon attended a vestry
meeting of Grace Episcopal Church.
He acted as chairman, and enliven-
ed the meeting with cheerful con-
verSation and interesting anecdo-
ties. The weather was chilly and
damp, the room not warmed, and
General Lee sat with his military
cloak thrown around his shoulders.
His last public act WAS eminently
characteristic. The question under
discussion was the rortor's salary,
and when the subscriptions were
handed in it WAS found that a de-
ticit of S55 still remained. He re.
marked quietly: II will give that

little dreaming that the most Illus
trious member would never join
them again. Returning home, tea
was on the table, and, according to
his invariable habit. he stood up to
say grace. But the lips refused to
speak, and he sat down without
showing any signs of agitation,
though the expression. of his face
told plninly enough that he reaiz-
ed what the dumb lips meant. Pay
sicians were promptly summoned,
and he was laid on the bed, from
which he neverarose alive. The case
was treated as one of venous c0n-
gestion of the brain. but there was

and only slightly impaired consci.

not anticipated by any one, except

he shook his head and puinted up.
