O'ersteps the hills, but troubles not your

When sleep in soft seductive hnmor bends.

The mantel clock ticks on in rhythm slow ;
The rustling leaves make music half dis

The doves coo notes OF love, by love returned
Oh, who for industry's reward would miss

That period of happiness divine

In the land sales for the past year
the South makes very large showing.
There were entered, of all kinds of pub
lie lands, "a, 4s5, 1888 in 221, JIG entries,
from which the government received
$l3, 522 1856. The railroad selections
numbered 49, s6, embracing G,325 800
acres. the cash entries So, O95 selections,
aggregating $780,, 254 acres, for which
the government received $l1, 203, O74.
Washington Territory led, aud ii Is quite
evident that the entries made there,
4,575,194 acres, were principally by
homesteaders, for the receipts were only
$445, 1894. Kansas was second, Nebras-
ka third, then California, Dakota and
Florida. The following il the record

SLEEP AFTER A MEAL.
The Brain Should Rest While the St0m-
ach Dlgests the Food.
Westminster Review.1

w 0SL munster h0Vl0W.l
There Is a widespread superstition
cherished by the great majority of the
people, that to sleep Immediately after
they have taken food ia to endanger
health, to favor the onset of apoplexy,
etc, superstition based on the as
sumption that during sleep the brain
is normally congested. There Is, no
doubt, such a thing as congestive
sleep, but during normal sleep the
brain is anemic. When person has
taken fairly abundant lunch or dinner
the stomach demands special influx
of blood wherewith to accomplish its
work of digestion; no organ can more
easily comply with that demand than
ity, Is suf1ueed with q maximum
amount of the vital fluid. But deri-
walton of blood from the brain to the
stomach can only take place, except
In exceptionally full-blooded and vigo-
rous persons, on the condition that the
cerebral functions be meanwhile par
TALLY or wholly suspended. Hence
many people after taking dinner feel
indisposed for mental action, and not
a few long for sleep. The already par
TALLY anemic brain would fain yield
up to the stomach a still further sup.
ply of blood and yield itself up to re-
freshing sleep. Doing SO, it gains new
strength; meanwhile digestion pro-
ceeds energetically, and soon body and
mind are again equipped to continue
in full force the battle of life. But SUI
perstition, the child of ignorance, inter-
venes, declares that sleep during indi>
gestion Is dangerous, admonishes the
would-be sleepers to struggle against
their perilous inclination, and though
telling them that after dinner they
may sit awhile, assures them of the
adage, CATER supper walk mile"
The millions of its victims continue,
therefore, the strife 10 which it con-
demns them and ignore the suggest
ions offered to them by the lower
animals, who have always practiced
the lessons OF sound Psychology by
sleeping after feeding whenever they
are allowed to do so. Hence the hu-
man brain and human stomach Of such
victims contend with each other dur.
ing the digestive process. The brain,
impelled by superstition, strives to
work, and demands blood to Work
with, while the stomach, stimulated
by its contents, strives to carry on its
marvellous chemistry, and demands an
ample supply of blood for the purpose.
The result Of The struggle Is that neither
Is able 10 do its work well. The brain
IL enfeebled by being denied its natural
rest during the digestive process, and
the healthy function of the stomach
into dyspepsia.
