SlceD. If YOu WOuM Work.

The restoration of energy, which
sleep alone can afford, is necessary for
the maintenance of nervous vigor, and
whereas the muscular system if over
taxed at last refuses to work, the brain

quently refuses to rest. The sufferer,
instead of trying to remove or lessen
the cause of his sleeplessness, comforts
himself with the hope that it will soon
disappear, or else has recourse to
alcohol, morphia, the bromides, chtoral,
etc. Valuable and necessary as these
remedies often are Il refer especially to
the drugs, there can be no question as
to the mischief which attends their
frequent use and there is much reason
to fear that their employment in the
absence of any medical authority is
largely on the increase. Many of the
proprietary articles" sold by druggists,
and in great demand at the present day,
of these powerful drugs. Not few
deaths have been caused by their
use, and in still larger number of
cases they have helped to produce a
fatal result. Sleeplessness is always
accompanied by Indigestion in some one
or other of its protean forms, and the
two conditions react upon and aggravatc
each other. III rest cannot be obtained,
and if the vital machine cannot be sup
piled with due amount of fuel, and,
moreover, fails to utilize that which is
supplied, mental and bodily collapse
cannot be far distant. The details of
the downward process vary, but the re-
suit is much the same in all cases.
Sleeplessness and loss of appetite are
followed by loss of flesh and strength,
nervous irritabiiity alternating with de-
preston, palpitation and other derange-
ments of the heart, especially at night,
and many of those symptoms grouped
together under the old term "hypo-
chondriasis. When this stage has
been reached, "the borderlands of in
sanity" are within measurable distance,
even if they have not already been
reached. - The FortnighHy Rerien.

Russian Lady Doctors.

However slowly civilization NAV
travel in the land of the Gar. there is
at any rate one thing in which Russia
is further advanced than most European
countries and this is the opening of the
learned professions to women. Par
ticularly anxious is the Government to
make the study of medicine as easy as
possible to women, and there appears
to be a real demand for female
medicos all over the country. The st.
Petersburg Gazette, commenting on
certain resolutions which have lately
been passed by the st. Petersburg
municipal council on the subject, says
that the medical faculty for women
sprang up without proper organiza-
ton, without secured resources. and be.
fore the State had recognized its exist
ence. 1t was hoped that the institution
would live and develop merely by the
aid of benevolence This went on for
time, thanks chiefly to the patronage
which the war ministry had extended
to the institution, and notwithstanding
the perilous position in which they
found themselves, and which became
even more precarious after they had
finished their studies, they have braved
all dangers, misery, and calumny, and
have succeeded by the mere force of
perseverance and devotion to their
work. At present no one questions
the desirability Of having female
doctors who are the in
dispensable complement of the male
medical personnel. 1t is particularly
IN haV Will hat ln
are most IN demand, and there are
places where they alone are trusted.
The fact is, that they have acquired
stable position in private practice as
we'll as in hospitals. This victory of
the Russian women has been made in
the course Of the last decade. and at
present no one denies their usefulness.
The Government has now resolved to
admit the schools of medicine for wo-
men among the number of high consti-
tutional schools with fixed organiZa-
ton, and the right to give diplomas. A
project for the organization is now be-
fore the Minister of Education. A
municipal council Of st. Petersburg,
considering that it is incumbent on the
Government, and not on the town, to
take this institution under its protec-
ton, has proposed joint arrangement,
by which the town undertakes to pay
annually the sum of $4,000 rubles
toward the maintenance of the institu-
ton, the procuring Of house for the
installation of lecture-rooms, museums,
etc, and by extending the right to
female students to pursue their practical
studies in all the st. Petersburg hospit-
ais on the condition that the professors
are chosen from among the physicians
of these hospitals. Thus the material
position of the medical faculty for wo-
men are safe, headquarters. money,
and hospitals being provided. The
Gazette hopes that other towns will
follow the generous example of the
capital, and we hope IL at other coun-
tries as well will profit by the lesson.

She Lost Her Cat.

IF we were to pay attention to every

yer, in charge of the Detective Bureau, we
could give employment to 500 extra men.
Some people have peculiar notions as to
what our duties are. If they lose only five
cents, they think it our duty to hunt it up
for them. OF course we are bound to aid
citizens, but often the time consumed is
worth fifty times as much as the missing
article. was treated to surprise this af-
ternoon which caps the climax. A very re-
spectacle old lady came in and wanted a
detective to assist her. asked her what
her case was, and she said she was looking
for her cat, her favorite pet, which had
taken leave of her about two weeks ago.
The cat was sickly, she said, and she ex-
pressed fears that something must have hap
pened to it. She thought that we might be
able to find it. knew that the task would
be an arduous one and took memorandum
of the description of the missing animal
for reference for the sanitary squad. The
old iatg left in hopes to see the cat soon re-
stored To her. This is only one of many
cases" --DetroH Free Press.

Twenty-Five years ago, Samuel Dunn,
farmer, lost his pocket book, containing
$50, in Salem, N. j. Patrick Driscoil,
who had Just arrived in this country from
Ireland, found the pocket book, but there
was nothing in il by which the owner could
be identified. He secured employment from
a coal dealer in Salem, and his employer,
to whom he told the story, advised him to
keep the money till the owner appeared.
Mr.. Dunn died in 1877, leaving his estate
in the hands of his brother, Charles W.
Dunn. About two weeks ago, MIR. Dunn,
Mr.. Driscoll-who now has coal yard
of his own--and Vinng H. Tuft were
standing in front of the same store IN front
of which MIR. Samuel Dunn had lost his
pocket book. Mr.. Tuft saw something
bright lying on the sidewalk and picked 1t
M. 1t proved to be quarter. This turn
ed the conversation into q money finding
channel, and Mr.. Charles Dunn spoke of
his brothers loss. When he had finished
telling the story, Mr.. Driscoll pulled an old
fashioned wallet out of his pocket and
asked Mr.. Dunn whether that was not the
pocket book his brother had lost. Mr..
Dunn identified it as being the same. and
Mr. Driscoll asked him to examine the con-
tents and see whether all the money was
there. He found $l5l.7S. Mr.. Dunn tried
to make Mr.. Driscoll keep the money, but
the latter refused, and said that the greatest
load he had ever had to carry was that

Fashion.

Fashion in dress with all its eccen-
tricities is supposed to aim at an inn
proved outward appearance of mankind,
and to set up the human form divine to
its best advantage. It's changes, not
often for comfort or adaptibility, still
may have the merit Of novelty, il not Of
grace and beauty. and its Innovations if
reasonable and timely, soon become at
tractive under the potent influence Of
the style Of the day. The most inn
portant attribute Of fashion is that it
should contribute to the display Of the
perfection Of the human form and to q
guarded concealment Of the imperfec-
tions. Whether garments are loose or
closely fitting, fashion has dictated that
they be made with special reference to
the ideal Of we'll developed figure as
far as possible under the circumstances.
Though Queen Elizabeth introduced
modes of dress in her dominion to suit
her caprices and advancing years, there
was national effort at making them
conform to the person OF the wearer, or
in other words to fit and show evidence
Of art in production. Though Eugene
adopted hoops for obvious reasons, vet
she and her millions of followers
thought the world made pretense to
grace and beauty in tho prevailing style
and sought the artistic adaptation Of the
mode IS far as taste and skill could
command. Faahion implies the develop
ment Of Art IN IT, proper sphere.

Salvation Army Work in London.

The annual report of the Salvation Ar
mys operations i'll London has been issued,
from which it appears that there are about
5000 Soldiers" exclusive of those in the
training home, working in the metropolis,
and it is claimed that during the year ended
April 80 last, 10000 souls were saved. The
work in Marylebone has been very success
full, although the Salvationists have received
very rough treatment The report states:
Our lasses' dresses have been torn from
their bodies; our girl officers had to lead
their corps to victory with black eyes," and
further on says: AT Romford, the foes of
earth and hell have united to overthrow the
corps. We are driven to the streets. where,
until few weeks ago, kicks and cuffs were
as common as 'Hallelujahs among Saliva
tionists. Our good old friend, the big
drum, is perfect auxiliary to our work"
During the year about 800 soldiers entered
the Clapton Training Home. The balance
sheet shows that for this year the London
income, from all sources, was 1881. OF
this, e3,492 was collected by the local di-
visions, and the whole sum, less 3Os.. paid
from headquarters for the rent of buildings.
The remainder of the income was spent in
salaries, printing, travesng expenses, rates
and taxes, etc.-PaH NH Gnsette.

Then, spite OF all entreaties, she told
how, in the land Of art abroad, Rose had
developed taste for art herself; had
studied diligently, and at last--because her
pictures were SO sweet and simple, with
their stories of country life in the wonder
full new world--they found ready sale

masters And how all the money so
earned her niece had begged her to send to
Harry, which she had done through her

beautify the home that is her especial

The Tear Handkerchief Of the Tyrol.

In some portions of Tyroi peculiar and
beautiful custom still prevails. When girl
is about to be married, before she leaves her
home to go to the church, her mother hands
her handkerchief which is called the tear
handkerchief. 1t is made Of newly spun
linen and has never been used. 1t is with
this kerchief that she dries her tears when
she leaves her fathers house and when she
stands at the altar. After the marriage is
over and the bride has gone with her hus-
band to their new home, she folds up the
kerchief and places it, unwashed, in their
linen closet, where il remains untouched.
The tear kerchief has only performed half
of its mission. Children are born, grow up,
marry and move away from the old home.
Each daughter receives from the mother
new tear kerchief. Her own remains where
it was placed in the linen closet on the day
of her marriage, and there it remains until
The day of her death, when ii is taken from
its place and spread over the placid features
Of the dead, never to be removed until we
are summoned to come forth On the ressur-
rectiOu morn.

The First Wedding.

this Adam acted like sensible man

find himself n married man. He APP

getting married in garden. Adams
was private. No envious aunts and
grunting grandmother. The birds o.;
the heavens were the MINISTRIES, and
the glad sky flung its light on the scene.
One thing about the first wedding brings
queer things to us in spite of its scrip
tural truth. Adam and his wife were
rather young to marry; some two or
three days old, according to the sagest
elder; without experience, without a
house, a pot, or kettle; nothing but love
and Eden
