How Long to sleep.

"A prolonged and severe exertion
whether of brain or muscle, requires
a correspondingly lengthy or deep
repose. Sleep is the state in which
the bodily fires are dampened down
and the machinery has an oppor-
tunity for cooling. The bow is un-
strung to recover it's elasticity dur
Ing the recurring periods of slumber.
The great point is to secure what
Bichat characterized as general sleep.
The whole body sin Ould be rested, so
far as any avoidable demands on it's
energy ARE concerned. The Irish
man who explained that a short
sleep did for him because when he
sleeps he "paid attention to it," ut
tered IA truth in his wltticism. II
sleep be thorough, then a short spell
will do more good than much
longer period that is incomplete and
imperfect. On general principles
We may sleep all we can, unless we
are lazy; then sleep less. The
active, wide-awake, energetic, GOA
head people rarely sleep too long.
We cannot tamper with the striking
movement OF u clock, without in
juring 1t, and we cannot tamper
with orderly recurrence of sleep
without impairing the very consti-
tuition OF things ON which the oderly
performance OF that function de-
pends. Herald of Health.

Remarked an old gentleman, as he
gazed fOndly upon the comely little
woman by his side; "but frankly"
lie continued, "at one time 1
thought cosmetics would" The
silly little woman, in order to appear
youthful, plastered her face with
different varieties of whitewash,
yclep t, "blams," creams" "lo-
ton" &c. "Yesn interrupted the
little woman, 81 did, until my skin
became like parchment, and so
pimply and coarse" Well,n said
the listener, "what do you use now?"
" Use" was.the reply, nothing but
common sense, and DR. Pierce's

mon sense told me if my blood was
pure, liver regulated, appetite good,
that the outward woman would
take on the hue of health. The

WHAT DID THE WORK.

In New York, where the battle
was fought and won, party lines on
the presidential issue were closely
drawn, but the protection war cry
made many democratic recruits, and
in almost every other Northern
state too, where large manufactur-
ing agricultural interests prevail the
tide seemed to have set in favorof the
republican candidates. In the East,
notably was the example of which
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts,
gave largely increased majorities,
while i'm Connecticut the democratic
plurality of four years ago was either
obliterated or reduced to so low a
figure as to leave small margin.
The ablest democrats, from Hill
down, could not relieve the minds
Of thinking masses of this appre-
hension. To a fear Of industrial
impairment is the result Of the New

Another factor which contributed
materially to the republican victory
was the division in the New York
democracy between the friends Of
President Cleveland and Governor
Hill. For over a year has this cool
ness existed between them. The
governor, however, had such ele-
ments of strength that it was deem
ed impolitic to tTample on him out
right, aud he was reluctantly ac-
corded a denomination. The closest
frien DIS of Cleveland openly an
nOunced their intention of knitting
him at the polls, and carried their
threats into execution. Hills
friends said nothing, but evidently
lost no trick, as he run ahead Of
Cleveland in almost every portion of
the state, notably in the county of
Erie, Cleveland's home, where Har-
rlsou had a majority of nearly 2O00
and Hill 5000. In Kings county,
the home Of Boss Mclaughlin, a
friend of Hill, the governor ran
some 5000 votes ahead of the presi-
dent. In New York City the
friends of the president and the
governor were also arrayed against
each other, Cleveland being sacri- |
feed to save Hill. The three-cor-
nered fight for supremacy also aided |
Jhe election of Harrison.

Alfonso XIII. received present of a

are permitted by law to touch his
Majesty, but man servant who was
near atthe time, seeing that his King
was trying to roll out of the cradle and
threatening to hurt himself by scream

kind-heartedness he was Immediately

Davenport, of Canarsie, New York, writes
have been very much troubled with a
violent pain below my chest bone. l was
told by several physicians that it was
rheumatism of the diaphragm. 1t resulted
from cold and exposure. l had very little
appetite and digested my food with great
difficulty. Iplaced one ALLCoCK's Porous
PLASTER below the breast bone and two on
each side. In the course of twenty four
hours all pain ceased, and l was able to
eat and digest good square meal, some
thing had not done before in two weeks.
l got better constantly, and at the end of
seven days found myself entirely well.
Since then have used ALLCoCKs Porous
PLAsTERs for colds, coughs and pains in
my side, and have always found them
quick and effective.

THE PRAYING MANTIS.
Insects That Assume the Attitude Vi
yotion in Catching Their Prey

Insects That Assume the Attitude Oh D'
votion in Catching Their Prey
The peculiar physical characteristics
of the mantis have given rise to many
weird superstitions. The fore-legS u
this singular insect are of such a shapo
that when they are folded up the insect
appears to be in the devout actoi pray
ing. This has given credence to many
marvellous stories that are related aOouV
them. The meaning of the insect >
name (mantis) is fortune-teller. ln0
old Greek Anacron said that the ap-
pearance Of these insects denoted thaO
spring was at hand, while C9lius, the
scholiast of Theocritus, held that they
betokened death or famine.
Another and perhaps the true reason
why they were called 'fortune-tellers,
is that their manner of folding then
limbs in an attitude of prayer, resem-
bles the manner of the Grecian oracles
when they were pouring out their sup
plications to the gods.
The eggs of the mantis are deposited
in a double row, in an orange-coloreu
case resembling fine parchment, ana
about two inches in length. The young
insects bear a strong resemblance To
ants, both in the shape OF their body
and in the agility of their movements
The mantis is a thorough cannloal
If two insects meet, a combat immedi'
ately ensues, and the victor proceeds
to devour his vanquished foe.
The Chinese, taking advantage o
the pugnacious propensities of thu
mantis, keep them for fighting, just az
we do game-cocks.
Flies form their principal article Of
food, observation showing that a male
will devour four and a female six flies
daily.
In catching its prey, the mants as
sumes the attitude of devotion and
waits quietly for fly to approach.
When one appears, it watches it UNI
remittingly with its baleful green eye
and, if the fly comes near enough, its
hitherto folded forefeet are thrown out
with lightning-lille rapidity and GRASP
the victim, which is then held between
them while it is mangled and devoured
The Hottentots of South Africa look
upon it as an exceedingly suspicious
omen if one of these mantis happen:
to alight upon one Of them.-M M
