For love is gone, for love is gole,

The laws delay is proverbiaL. Our legal

less many readers of the REGISTER have
also personally observed-that q grest deal
of expensive time is worse than wasted in
our courts By the unnecessary chin music
OF the LAWYERS. They wrangle among them
selves. talk for an hour at q time over hair
splitting techniealities that there is very
little in, brow-beat and bulldoze wit
uesses, and in other ways consume
the time OF the court. A
case in point. A lawyer rose the other
day to open" q case. Hs took his time
10 it. He did for fact. He took nearly
an hour to say what man OF snap would
have said in five or ten minutes, and the
SLOW, drawing way in which be repeated
With unendiug iteration, the words, And
now, gentlemen, it will appear to you,"
was very amusing. Without exsggerstion,
he must have said these words thirty or
forty times, in fact, he began each state
ment with them. he did forget himself
once and say, And now, gentlemen, it will
perhaps appear to you" Or, possibly, he
had q premonition OF defeat when he made
this violent change. for, although when l
left be was still saying that it would 'ap-
pear to the Jury that his side was right,
they evidently looked upon the appear

went against him. That hsrrangue cost

Sleeping Face Downward.

Hunters, scouts, children and wild
men sleep with the spine upward. So
do animals, all but civilized man. If a
dog, cat or horse were forced to lie
upon its back 1t would die. Among
the Arabian jugglers and show people
that have been brought to this country
it has been noticed that they always
turn over upon their breasts when they
go to sleep and lie that way till they
wake. 1t seems to be the natural way.
1t protects the vital organs in case of
shot from an enemy.
The spine and the great amount of
nerve tissue that starts from it are the
most sensitive parts of the body. Lying
with the great weight of the stomach,
heart intestines and other organs
pressed upon these nerves it seems
must in time work injury. Even the
half weight, as when person lies upon
his side, must have its bad effects, 1t is
said. The spine and nerves are also
abnormally heated by the common way
of resting. Keep the spine and spinal
nerves cool, say the advocates of the
cows and the wild mans way of Sleep
ing. There are such advocates, among
them able physicians. They affirm
that turning upon the breast to sleep
will relieve backache. Also, 1t will
leave the nerve stimulant free to flow
vigorously from its centres and in that
way will remedy indigestion and take
away the bad taste i'm the mouth.
Many will be surprised to find how
difficult 1t is to lie with the face down.
ward after years of reposing in the
other attitude. One cannot do so COM
fortably ten minutes at first. But
practice will overcome the difficulty.
The natural method, so called, of Sleep
ing, has many and able advocates,
