Health Hints br pio lewis,

| don't believe in shoulder-bfaces. Ma
ture furnishes the needed braces to keep
the shoulders in position and when YOU
use the artificial, these natural ones become
weak for want Of exercise. The best wav
to cure STOPPING shoulders is to carry a
weight on the head half-hour morning
and evening. Make the weight large.
There is no other single exercise so valua-
BILE as carrying weight on the head. A
bag of sand weighing from 20 to so pounds
is good weight.
To cure q pimples and tiesh-worms' you
must purify your blood, not by swallowing
patent medicines, but by living on plain,

and night, sleeping enough. exercising
freely and keeping your skin open by fire.

Sleep MechanicaIIy Considered.

Whether sleep can in any way be COM
PEELED, when the state of mind and body is
opposed to it, is a question which we are
inclined to answer in the negative. All
the devices which have been employed or
proposed, such as counting, repeating the
multiplication table, reciting passages of
familiar literature and the like, are no
doubt frequently effective in fastening
sleep which would have come more tardily
of its own accord; but if the stomach or
heart or brain is in a morbidly active condi-
ton, such as will not allow Inconsistencies
to steal upon the system, we doubt if any
artificial means viii bring about that result
a writer on this subject declares and We
believe truly, that sleep is prevented by an
excess of blood in the brain. His remedy
is to pump the blood back from the brain
by a peculiar method of breathing. for
which directions are given as follows :
Having assumed the usual posture of re-
pose, inhale and exhale steadily long
breaths devoting the whole attention to
making the inhalations and exhalations
exactly the same length. The length
should be much greater than that of ordi-
nary breathing, although not sufficient to
disturb the circulation by working the lungs
to their utmost capacity. In support of
this theory reference is made to the
feeling of faintness produced by filing the
lungs with all the air they will hold and
then expelling it, repeating the operation
| rapidly three or four times. The resulting
faintness is attributed to the withdrawal Of
blood from the brain, and the same effect,
substantially, follows any sudden aud ex-
IRENE emotion. So violent a disturbance
| of the system, however, is not advised for
the purpose here sought, but steady and
gradual diversion of the blood from the
brain to the lungs and body; and it is con-
iiGently asserted that insomnia can be over
come in this way by a resolute and perse-
vering effort
We believe it will be found true innearly
every instance of sleeplessness, where no
actual pain, mental disquiet or other appa-
rent cause exists, that the action of the
heart is very rapid, and that until ii abates
sleep will be sought in vain. When a per-
son lies down the pulse should within a
reasonable time, say not more than fifteen
! minutes, show reduction of about 10 beats
per minute. If in the waking hours it is
50, it should, when one goes to bed, fall to
50 or 20, and sleep will almost certainly
follow. But the heart continues to pound
away at the rate Of 50 or 80 strokes per

For the last ten years have given coffee

NATURES AGRICULTURIsTs. = Professor
Henry Drummond remarks that there can
be no succession of crops without the most
thorough agriculture, and that where man
IS not doing this work nature employs
other agents. Darwin has shown how the
soil of England is titled by earthworms to
the extent of having ten tons of dry earth
per acre annually transferred from below
to the surface, by passing through their
bodies and being deposited as their casts.
But in the hard-balled soil of the tropical
countries the worms are unable TO operate,
and other agencies are demanded, an effec-
tive one being. Professor Drummond finds.

lives upon dead vegetable matter, and It's

BEFORE SEPARATION FROM ENGLAND WAS
DETERMINED UPoN.-" Before the 18Th of
April, 1775." said Jefferson, {" l had never
heard a whisper of disposition to sepa-
rate from the mother country" Washing
ton said: When first took command of
the army July 5, 100 | abhorrei the
idea of independence; but | am now fully
convinced that nothing else will save us.h
It is only by dwelling on such words as
these that we can measure that vast
educational process which brought the
American people to the Declaration
of Independence in 177G. The Cont
mental Congress, in the early months
of that year, had for many days
been steadily drifting on toward the
distinct assertion of separate sovereign
ty, ana has declared it irreconcilable
With reason and good conscience for
the colonists to taz33 the oath REQUIRED for
the support of the Government under the
Crown of Great Britain. But it was not
till the 9TH of June that Richard Henry
Lee, of Virginia, rose and read these reso-
lutions: That these colonies are, and Of
right ought TO be, free and independent
States that they are absolved from all al
legiance to the British Crown, and that all
political connection between them and the
State of Great Britain is and ought to be
totally dissolved; that it is eXpedient
forthwith to take the most effectual meas
ures for forming foreign alliances that a
plan of confederation be prepared and trans
mitted TO the respective colonies for their
consideration and appreciation "-T History

THE FRESHMAN AND THE BEAR.-An
Irishman gives his experience with bear
in the following graphic manner " came
out here shortly after landing in America.
and one day as | was walking along the
road l saw what thought was big black
dog comm towards me. When he got
within twinty feet av me hegot up on his
hind legs and began walking like Christ
ian. Tear and GUNS thought this isn't
a dog at all. 1t must be what they call a
bear. AS luck should have it, ! hadn't a
thing about me-not even toothpick an
here was the dirty black basic right on me.
If he weighed pound, he weighed three
hundred. Not having anything better
at hand than the weapons God gave
me, | doubled up my fists and put up
my guard as if | was going to fight wild a
man. Well, may | niver see the back av

belt alongside of the head that sent me

was so mad in me loife, an jumped UP in

tented with me left, an as he downed his
guard / gave him the full av me right fist
under his left ear an toppled him over on
his back. He lay kind av stunned for a
moment, and then he rolled over on his

A REMEDY FOR LUNG DISEASES

DR.. Robert Newton, late President OF the
Eclectic College, of the city of New York, and
formerly of Cincinnati, Ohio, used Dr.. WIN.
HALLS BALsAM very extensively in his practice,
as many of his patients, now living, and re-
stored to health by the use Of this invaluable
medicine, can amply testify. He always said
that SO good a remedy ought to be prescribed
freely by every physician as sovereign remedy
in all cases of lung diseases. It cures Consump-

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS FOR THE UNITED
STATEs.-In 1871 Postmaster G General Cres-
well recommended the establishment of
postal savings repositories in connection
with the United States PoStoffices, and two
years later he discussed the subject very
fully in his annual report. Several of his
successors have renewed his recommenda-
tions with great earnestness. Hon. Thomas
l.. James, after referring to and highly APP
proving of these recommendations, said :
1t is my earnest conviction that system
of this description, if adopted; would
lnure, more than almost any other meas
ure of public Importance, to the benefit of
the working people of the United States. +"
In 1873 Hon. Horace Maynard brought be-
fore Congress bill to establish national
savings depository, but no acton, was
taken. Since then q number of efforts
have been made to induce Congress to
enact the necessary legislation. The latest
of these efforts was made in 1882
under the leadership of Mr.. Lacey, whose
report of the Committee on Postotfices and
Post Roads contains valuable information
and suggestions on the subject. The bill
which Mr.. Lacey introduced, and which
has recently been strongly Endorsed by the
State Charities Aid Association of New
York, and other advocates of postal savings
banks, provided that none but money order
offices should receive deposits; that no
single deposit should be less ten cents or
more more than 500; that no person
should deposit more than 800 within
thirty days. or have at any time more than
$500 to his credit; and that interest at per
cent should be paid on all sums over S3
and multiplies of 81, beginning the first of
the month following the deposit, and stop
ping the last of the month preceding the
withdrawal Professor d. b. King, in

How A Horse FEEDs.-Something may
be learned by observing how horse picks
up his feed, either in grazing or when fed
in the stable. One will have very good
idea of the sensitiveness of the upper lip.
and how cleverly the horse gathers in the
choice heritage or hay, and rejects the
waste. This mobile, prehensible lip is
constantly in motion, and, by its sense of
feeling, separates the selected food from
that which is rejected. The horse cannot
see the heritage exactly under the mouth,
but the lip pushes away the undesirable
food, and gathers with the greatest pre-
csion that which is selected from the rest.
In weedy pasture this instinct of the lip
is brought into action in a most peculiar
and interesting manner, and exhibits in a
striking degree the exquisite sensitiyeness
of the delicate nerves of this organ. One
who has seen this action Of the lip and re-
allies the great sensitiYeness of il, will
never permit himself to practice the exces-
sive cruelty of putting twitch about a
horses upper lip for any purpose, for the
torture of it must be very great indeed.

the pillows be never SO carefully arranged
and the conditions of temperature, light,
exclusion of sound. and SO on, the very
best imaginable.
How TO regulate the system so that the
heart will abate its activity at the right
time is 3 question the settlement of which
will usually solve the problem of sleepless-
ness also. Temperance and discrimination
in eating and drinking will go far toward
removing the difficulty. A due amount of
fresh air and exercise is also essential but
violent and exhausting exercise, taken
without interest or enjoyment, Will ofteh
do more harm than good. There are some
physical needs which can be supplied at
will, by mechanical appliances; but
sleep is not one of them. The
body may be warmed or cooled,
hunger and thirst may be allayed, and
some of the functions of the system may
be stimulated or checked. to degree
which with some persons almost amounts
to artificial control. But sound and salts
flying sleep is conditioned upon the general
health. To bring it about, one must begin
at the beginning and the work can not be
abbreviated, nor the result attained by any

oiogy at defance.-[ Mechanical News.
