How to Induce Sleep.

Until recently | have not been able
to secure much sleep on the first night
of a railway journey, and it may be an
advantage to many travellers to know
how the inability was overcome. An
excess of blood in the brain prevents
sleep. How to remove the surplus is
the problem for the unfortunates who
wish to sleep but cannot. = pump is
needed for the purpose, and it may
easily be provided as follows: Having
assumed the usual position of repose,
inhale and eXhale slowly and steadily
long breaths, devoting the whole at
tention to making the inhalation and
exhalation of exactly the same length.
The length should be much greater
than that of ordinary breathing, al
though not sufficient to disturb the cir
culation by working the lungs to their
utmost capacity. Any person who
has force of will enough to concentrate
his whole attention on the maintenance
of this style of breathing can compel
sleep in very unfayorable circum-
stances, and victims Of insomnia should
know it.
The value of the method is not solely
IN ltS holdlng the mind to one object
of thought, but the process of breath
ing here described is really equivalent
to the insertion of a pump to draw off
its excess of blood. To convince your
self that this is so, fill your lungs with
all the air that they will hold, and then
expel it, repeating the operation three
or four times as rapidly as possible
the result will be a feeling of faintness,
unless you are other than an ordinary
mortal, and its cause will be a deti-
cheney of blood in the brain, produced
by the pumping process. Such vi
olent breathing will not induce sleep,
however, as there is reaction which
sends the life current rushing back to
the seat of the mind. Scientists say
that the reason why fear, surprise Or
any other sudden emotion often causes
faintness is because it rapidly drives
the blood from the brain, and the fact
is significant for those who wish to un-
derstand how to induce sleep, whether
on the railway train or in their beds at
home, by pumping the excess of blood
from their brains by a peculiar method
Of breathing. -Nec0 York jiaH and E1-

The restraint of the irons proved
very CALLING to Davis. His humiliation
was complete. But few weeks before
he was the head of the confederate.
government and commander-in-ch chief
of all the southern armies. Now he
was chained to a hospital cot in Y an
kee' prison, unable to remove his
clothing or even lie down in comfort
For five days and nights Davis wore
the irons, but the surgeon saw that he
was chafing himself TO death. 1t would
be poor policy for the illustrious pris-
oner to die in consequence of northern
treatment, hence the shackles were re-
moved.
.On the 5th of October. about five
months after his arrival at Fortress
Monroe, Davis was removed to Carroll
hall, where comfortable quarters were
given him and he was permitted to
read books. During his close confine-
ment, with no one to converse with, he
relieved the tedium by studying the
Bible, the only book or reading matter
save the prayer-book allowed him, till
he was probably the best-informed man
on scriptural topics in the whole south.
He admitted that his Imprisonment had
made him better Christian. The pity
is it didn't come before instead of after
the war.
Prom Carroll hall Davis was re-
moved to Richmond, and soon after
was bailed out of prison in the sum of
500, 900, Horace Greeley being one of
his bondSmeu.h

Cut The Grass at NiDhf

1t is very much better to cut grass in
the afternoon, says the New England
Times, than IN the morning when wet
with dew. Cut it so late in the after
noon that it will not have dried at all
crlspy, and the dew of the following
night will not iniure it in the least.
We have aimed to cut all the grass aft
ernoons, after the team has finished
hauling in the cured hay. 1t is cool
then, and one may run the machine
until we'll into the evening, if the work
is driving, and the surface of the field
is smooth and free from distractions
that would endanger the machine. The
next morning, after the dow is dried
off, set the tedder going and keep it
busy until noon. In the afternoon the
hay will be dry enough to 90 into the
barn, and there has been no expense
IN cooking and opening out the cocks
again IN the morning, as by the old
and still quite common way. When
grass is cut with a heavy dew on, it
takes the best part of the first day to
get the dew dried off, and it becomes
necessary to bunch it up at night, or
leave 1t IN the winrow for another DAVIS
drying. By adopting the method of
afternoon cutting, the risk from bad
weather is reduced about one-half, and
the labor and cost of curing quite ma
terially. 1t never Injuries grass to get
wet after being cut if it has not be-
come much wilted. The heavier the
crop the greater will be the gain from
cutting in the afternoon. From two to
four hours of hot sunshine upon grass
free from dew, is amply sufficient for
making it into the best of hay if it is
kept stirred during the time with a
good tedder. If the crop is very light,
the tedder may be dispensed with.

n Singular Fatality.

In the extracts from Gen. Grants
book of Personal Memoirs" recently
given in the dispatches there is an ac-
count of his meeting at Appomattox
with Gen. Lee to arrange the terms of
surrender OF the forces under the lat
ter's command. Gen. Grant says: ut
occurred at the house of man named
Mclean who was confederate gem
eral" This is mistake. Wilmer
Mclean, the person referred to. was
not IN the southern army at all. lie
was a non-combatant and over the age
Tor conscriptlOn at the time of the war.
lie must. however, have thought there
was fatality attending his movements,
as he Unfortunately witnessed the first
battle of Bull run and the close of the
war at Appomattox. He was a native
OF Alexandria, Va, who, after being
engaged for some time in business in
that town-lhe firm OF Kerr q Mclean,
wholesale and retail grocerS, was years
ago well known throughout the sur
rounding cOuntry-mOved out near
Manassas and engaged in farming.
His house was taken by Gen. Beaure-
gard as his headquarters previous to
and after the battle of Bull run. Nc
Lean moved away from the place after
the fight and purchased another place
at AppomattoX, for the express pur-
pose of removing his family from the
scene of war Instead, however, OF
succeeding ia this the warlike opera
tons shifted to his immediate neigh
borhood, and his own house was again
occupied for military purposes. 1t has
become famous III history, and the
name of its owner, with all his reluct-
ance to be connected with the war,
and his endeavor to escape fromit, is in
delibly associated with the closing
scene of the great drama. The table
on which the terms Of surrender were
drawn by Gen. Grant, accepted by Gen.
Lee, and signed by them, was pur-
chased by Gen. Ord, and was con-
spicious article of furniture in his par
lor at his house at Black point when
that officer was in command of this
military department. The general al
ways called the attention of visitors to
it, and was fond of narrating the incl
dents connected with the surrender. at
which he was present, being 4 corps
commander. The table was a substan-
tial mahogany round table of the old
fashioned parlor size. 1t was made at
eireen's cabinet factory in Alexandria,
Va. and had been many years in the
possession of Mclean before it became
identified with the grand historical
event of Lees surrender.-Sd1F Fran

The Seven Days Fight.


From Gen. Longstreet's contribution
to The Century War Series, in the July
mum Der, we quote the following: '"The
Federals withdrew after the battle, and
the next day / moved on around by the
route which it was proposed we should
take the day before, | followed the
enemy to Harrison's landing, and Jack
son went down by another route in ad-
vance of Lee. As soon as we reached
the front of the Federal position we put
out our skirmish-lines, and | ordered
an advance, intending to make another
attack, but revoked it on Jackson urg-
ing me to wait until the arrival of Gen
Lee. Very soon Gen. Lee came, and,
after carefully considering the position
of the enemy and of their gun-boats on
the James, decided it would be better
to forego any further operations. Our
skrmish-lines were Withdrawn, we or
dered our troops back to their old lines
around Richmond, and month later
McClellan's army was withdrawn to
the North.
The Seven Days Fighting, although
a decided Confederate victory, was a
succession of mishaps. If Jackson had
arrived on the 26th,-the day of his
own selection, the Federals would
have been driven back from Mechanics
vile without battle. His delay there,
caused by Instructions placed in his
road by the enemy. was the first mis-
hap. He was too late in entering the
fight at Gaines's Mill. and the destruc-
ton OF Grapevine bridge kept him from
reaching Fravser's Farm until the day
after that battle. If he had been there,
we might have destroyed or captured
McClellan's army. Huger was in posi-
tion for the battle of Frayser's Farm,
and after his batteries had misled me
into opening the fight he subsided
Holmes and Magruder, who were on
the New Market road to attack the
Federals as they passed that way, fail
ed to do so.
''Gen. McClellan's retreat was sue
cessfuly managed; therefore, we must
give it credit for being well managed.
He had $4,000 men, and insisted to the
authorities at Washington that Lee had
200, 900. In fact, Lee had only 100000
Gen. McClellan's plan to take Rich
mond by siege was wise enough, and
IL WOulu nave Dceu IL SUCCESS IL IuC COD-
federates had consented to such a pro-
gramme. In spite of McClellan's ex-
cellent plans, Gen. Lee, with a force
inferior in numbers, completely routed
him, and while suffering less than Nc
Clellan, captured over ten thousand of
his men. Gen. Lees plans in the Sew
en- Days Fight were excellent, but were
poorly executed Gen. Mcclellan was
very accomplished soldier and very
able engineer, but hardly equal to the
position of tield-marshal as 2 military
chieftain. He organized the Army of
the Potomac cleverly, but did not
handle it siillfully when in actual bat
tie. Still | doubt if his retreat could
have been better handled, though the
rear of his army should have been more
positively either in his own hands or in
the hands of Sumner Heintzelman
crossed the White Oak Swamp prema-
turely and left the rear of McClellan's
army exposed, which would have been
fatal had jackson come up and taken

Mrs. Gladstone and Mr.. Forster.

Two years ago, when Mr.. w. Z.
Forster had resigned his portfolio IN
Mr.. GladstOne's cabinet, he was na-
turally anxious to hear how the prime
minister would speak of the incident in
the House of Commons. and not less
anxious to listen without being himself
observed. He, therefore, did not take
his ordinary place in the body of that
assemblage, but made his way into the
ladies cage, or rather that portion of it
which is set apart for the lady friends
of the wife OF the speaker Directly
he had entered he perceived that the
sole occupant of the department was
no less person than Mrs. Gladstone
herself. She was the one person whom
he would have avoided seeing. He felt
little discomposed, and was proceed
ing to evince his discomposure in the
ugged-spasmodic way peculiar to
that flower of Quaker subtlety But
Mrs Gladstone was perfectly at
her ease. She held up her finger at
him, and shaking her head with an air
Of gentle reproval, muttered in low
voice, Naughty! naughty"
| have only once III my experience of
Engiishmen or Englishwomen heard
anything at all comparable to this; that
was when Lady Waldegrave-now,
alas! dead-asked Lord Beaconsfield
whether he intended to dissolve in the
forthcoming autumn. Perhaps" she
said archly, you have another sur
prise in store for u.s." The impassiVe
earl was silent for moment. He then
looked her ladyship straight in the
face, and in tone half oracular, half
bantering, which l shall never forget,
SAID, ''Oh, you dear. "-LOnd0n Society.

That "PinafOre."

Under the apple-tree she sat,
My little love in her broad-t trimmed hat
And her blue checked piuAfCre.
The robin above her swelied his throat,
But the maiden's song rivalled bis sweetest
note.
Though he warbled it DER and Ger.
Oh, shining and red were the skins that fell
From the sweet ripe apples she pared so well!
You may help" She said, ''if you will"
Then took the bowl on my own strong knee,
And whispered. sweet as the apples may be,
know who is sweetGr still
The Hrim OF her nat fell lower down,
And hid from my gaze her eyes so brown,
As she steadily worked away.
But slyiy whispered, Would il might be
That We might be served ike the apple you
And paired by the parson some day!"
Up went the pinafore over her face.
Till ] Of her bushes could see no trace.
Ihen-what DO you think | didP
To hide the sorrow and shame | felt
In deep ccntrItiOu beside her | knelt,
And my lace in her pinafOre hid.
I've often wondered whether twas wrong,
But while the robin was singing his song
Up in the appie-tree,
/ gave sweet Katie Il kiss two;
And Katie, Of cOursc-what else could she do?
Gave both of them back to me.
And the piuafOre-blesS the thing, / say,
For the friendly shelter il gave that day!
Kept our sweet secret well,
ana hid from the sun and the robins view
Sweet katie's bushes, and helped me, too
a certain story TO tell.

The grand annual shouldering of
crutches and showing of how fields
were won at Portland reminds the his
torian of an occurrence at a similar re-
union at Chicago few years ago.
There was g sort of competition
among the veterans that year in the
matter of wounds, and Col. Rickaby, a
well-known Chicago lawyer and semi
politician, who had really been a brave
soldier, though ne lacked the soldierly
quality of modesty, distanced all com
petitors by appearing at the banquet in
suit of clothes with apertures cut
through them exactly corresponding
with all the wounds he had received in
the service. AS he had the good
fortune. for a public man, to be Shot
full of holes and recover, he presented
an exceedingly perforated appearance
at the banqueting board. Here" he
remarked in his yoluble way. pointing
to one of his grievous rents, Il was
wounded at Pitsburg Landing; this
cut represents a bayonet thrust at
Nicksburg, piece OF a shell, exploded
at Port Hudson, cut through here"
etc, etc.
a veteran from the country ventured
to ask the colonel whether a shot had
ever struck him in the jaw, and the
rebel ire at Fort Wagner wasn't any
more whitening than the look that
Rickaby gave him.-B0StOn Record
