Common Sense and Common Sleep,

Excitement, worry and anxiety, which have their seat in the brain, interfere with the functions of the stonach and in like manner anything that unduly taxes the power of or irritates the stom. ach disorders the circulation and nutri- ton of the brain. The sleeplessness often complained of by gouty persons is due to the poisonous effect of the morbid material upon the nervous system. Ex- cessive smoking, too much alcohol, tea and coffee, often resorted to by over worked persons, are frequent causes of sleeplessness. In all these cases tho cause is removable, while the effect may be enumerated by appropriate treat ment. Nothing is more mischievous, however, than to continue the habits and to have recourse to drugs to combat tho effects. A due amount of exercise tends to induce normal sleep, and such exer- else need not be of violent character. A walk of two or three miles daily ia sufficient and is, perhaps, as much as a busy man can find time for. A ride on horseback, the Palmerston cure for gout, is probably the best form of exercise for those whose minds are constantly at work. It has been we'll said that man must come out of himself when in the saddle; he is forced to attend to his horse and to notice the objects he meets. Walking may be amcrely automatic pro- cess, and afford little, if any, relief to the mind, and carriage exercise may be prac- ticaly valueless if the mind is not divert cd from what had previously occupied 1t. -Fortnightiy Rerieo.

The Farms of America.

MT. Andrew Carnegie, the iron manu- facturer, of Pittsburg, Pa., in his book entitled "Triumphant Democracy" says of the farms of America: 'The farms of America comprise s37, 6ss square miles, an area nearly equal to one-fourth of Europe, and larger than the four greatest European countries put together Russia exceptcd), namely France, Germany, Austria and Hungary and Spain. The capital invested in agriculture would suffice to buy up the whole of Italy, with it's rich olive groves and vineyards, it's old historical cities, cathedrals and palaces, it's Kings and aristocracy, it's Pope and Cardinals, and every other feudal appurtenance. Or, if the Ameri- can farmers were to sell out, they could buy the entire Peninsula of Spain; with all its traditions of medieval grandeur, and the flat lands which the Hollanders at vast cost have wrested from the sea and the quaint old towns they have built there. If he chose to put by his savings for three years, the Yankee farmer could purchase the fee simple of pretty Switz- erland as a summer resort, and not touch his capital at all, for each years earnings exceed $550, 900, 900. The cereal crer for 1880 was more than 2,5OO, 900, 0OC bushels. If placed in one mass this would make pile of 8, 3,500, 900, 900 cubic feet, or pyramid three times great as that of Cheops. If loaded on carts il would require all the horses in Europe and 100000 more (3s, 900, ooO to re- move it, though each horse drew load of two tons. Were the entire crop o cereals loaded on continuous train of cars the train would reach one and a half times around the globe. Its value is half as great as all the gold mined in Californis in the thirty-fve years since gold wa! found there.

ATheOrV of SOaD.

A new theory has been started with regard to the use of soap on the face. Women who for years have been careful of their complexions would never, under any circumstances, wash the face in soap, as it was said to roughen and coarsen the skin. Now, this idea is exploded, and we'll known physician in the metro politan profession recommends his women patients to use it freely every day, lath- ering the skin we'll. Of course, fine, oily and pure soap is most desirous. This being secured he states that none but the most beneficial results will be affected by his method of improving the skin. He holds-with considerable plausibility that the pores of the face become as much clcgged by grease and dirt as the hands or any other portion of the body. And if soap is considered necessary pu- rifer in the bath, its eds must be felt equally on the face. By an abundant and regular lathering the facial DOT !, he claims, are kept open, free from the clog ging matter that produces unsightly black heads, acne, pimples, and pure, healthy, fresh and brighter complexion is the resultant. Not mincing matters, he says that the trouble with most wo- men who have sallow, pasty skins is that from years end to years end they never have really clean face.
 An ar ,icle published in Good House. keeping says: "Hands kept dirty are never smooth and white. Absolute cleanliness is necessary. Many people who do not work seldom wash their hands. The days accumulation of dirt is allowed to remain on the hands all night. Upon rising the hands are washed in cold water; then the possessor won. ders why when she does no work hel hands do not look any better. Th' hands and face should always be washed in warm soap suds before going to bed
 White soaps are safest. Highly scented and colored soaps are almost invaria bl. made from rancid and ill-smelling fats After drying them thoroughly use few drops of mixed glycerine and camphor which the druggist can prepare for you Drop into the palm of your hands ant rub we'll, and this will be all that will b.

Journalism is taking squirt in Italy. In Naples there is regular newspaper reading craze, and even the beggars gather around some fortunate possessor of daily paper as he reads aloud in the street. But the people soon get tired of any one paper, and clamor for a new one, The consequence is that almost every day some paper dies and another takes its place. One of the most certain ways of killinga newspaper in Italy, by the way is to fi.l it with news. What they want is good local lies and blood-curdling sen- sations.

"Never under any circumstances do any. thing to excite a COW while milking her, sagely remarks an agricultural paper. Quite right, quite right-we never do.

MOrayian Customs.

The MoraYians have settlements not only in Germany, but also in England, Switzerland and America. They hold nearly all the doctrines of Luther. Their largest settlement, called Herrnhut is in Saxony, and the Moravians in many parts of Germany bear the name of Herrnhuter. In each community there are two houses set apart-one for the un- married men, called the Brothers house." and the other for all unmarried sisters or widows who wish to enter them.
 The Moravians cannot marry without the consent of the elders of their church, and in some cases the bridegroom has been chosen for the bride. They seldom marry outside the community, and their engagements are nearly as solemn as the marriage. The weddings are very sim pie, the sister wearing but a black dress with white lace handkerchief, and her pretty cap with it's pale pink ribbon, which is changed afterwards for a pale blue ribbon when the ceremony is fin ished. There are always two rings at a wedding in Germany, as there a married man always wears one, which he receives from his bride in exchange for his.
 The Moravians wear no crape nol mourning for their dead, and they speak of them as blessed, and of dead as Ego. ing ,home." They call the graveyard "God's acre." and they take the greatest care of their graves. But there also is the division, as in the Church, for the men are buried on one side of the ceme tery and the women on the other.
 The Morayians are all we'll educated and the poorer brethren amongst them en joy the same privileges in their excellent schools as do the richer brethren. Life amongst the "United Brethren" is simple and unartifcial love to God and man be- ing their first principle; and many who have lived amongst them bear in thei1 hearts a loving memory of their goodness and of the pretty little village of Naedi tendorf.

Anticipation.

Anticipation. Promise is sweeter than the full fruition. The first soft breath that whispers in tn, Of budding crocuses and pussy willows Is dearer than the ripeness of the year. The first fair glinting of the sail approaching That brings the loved ones from sunnier land
 Is dearer than the close an1 tender clasping Of eager heart to heart and hand to hand The first quick glance of love, half une1- pected,
 Half hoped for, quickens in the trembling breast Sweeter and purer throbs than all the later And fuller passion openly expressed. Sweeter by far to watch with beating pulses The slow unfolding of the first success Than to reap harvest from the later triumphs
 That bring at best dash of bitterness An, fair anticipation might we never Stray from thy borderiand of ecstasy, Nor seek to set our all too eager footsteps In the worn paths of dull reality.

War the Stone Trade.

CHICAGO, Sept. 1.-THE stone con-
tractors of Chicago, at largely attended
meeting to-day, formally resolved that they
would refuse to furnish any material,
directly or indirectly, to any builder or
owner who comtenanced what is termed
the arbitrary policy of the Bricklayers'
and StonemasOnS' unions Bitter feeling
between the two latter unions ON one side
and the Stonecutters' unions OH the other
has been brewing for some time. The fight
grows out of claim made by the stone
masons backed up by the bricklayers that
they should be allowed to do certain class
OF work known as ''shoddy" at their rate
of wages, which is somewhat lower than
that of the cutters. The latter refused to
allow this claim, and week ago Sunday
withdrew in a body from the Trades
assembly, which favored their opponents
Since then the bricklayers have struck on a
number of building where stonecutters
were hired by the contracts to do the
''shoddy" work. The contractors and cut
ters assert the masons are incompetent to
do the work, and that they are running the
stone industry here. Over 6, 900 mechanics
are directly involved in the struggle. which
threatens to paralyze building operations
throughout the city.

Milwaukee-St. Paul game was called at the
end of the eighth inning on account of dark
ness, the score standing II to 6 in favor Of
st. Paul. The game was prOtracted by dis
putes. in which the umpire favored st. Paul
uniformly. Milwaukee was without a
pitcher, Daily having signed with st. Paul
and O'Brien being in st. Paul with his
family, so Say was put in to pitch. The
ST. Pauls had little difficulty in solving his
delivery and Sweeny was put i'll. and,
later, Fass but it was too late to save the
game. Errors were plentiful, especially on
the Milwaukee side. Colgan was off in his
catching and was evidently badly ratified.
