How Long Child Should Sleep.

A healthy baby, for the first two
months or so, spends most of its time
asleep. After that a baby should have
at least two hours of sleep in the fore.
noon and one in the afternoon, and it
is quite possible to teach almost any
infant to adopt this as regular habit.
Even to the age of four or five years a
child should have one hour of sleep, or
at least rest in bed, before it's dinner,
and it should be put to bed at six Or
seven in the evening and left undis-
turbed for twelve or fourteen hours.
Up to the fifteenth year most young
people require ten hours, and till the
twentieth year nine hours. After that
age every one finds out how much he
or she requires, though as a general
rule at least six to eight hours are nee
essary. Eight hours sleep will pre-
vent more nervous arrangement in
women than any medicines can cure.
During growth there must be ample
sleep if the brain is to develop to it's
full extent, and the more nervous, ex-
citable or precocious the child is the
longer sleep should it get if its intel
tectual progress is not to come to a
premature standstill or it's life be cut
short at an early age.-ChautauQuan.

How To Make the Disagreeable Spasm Lot
Go Its Hold.
Many persons of both sexes are great
ly troubled with cramps in one or both
their legs. It comes on suddenly, and
is very severe. Most people jump out
of bed Git nearly always comes on
either just after going to bed, or while
undressing) and ask some one to rub
the leg. / have known it to last for
hours, till in despair they would send
for the family physician; and even
then it would be hours before the
spasm would let up.
There is nothing easier than to make
the spasm let go it's hold, and it can be
accomplished without sending for a
doctor, who may be tired and in need
of good nights rest. When have
a patient who is subject to cramp, ]
always advise him to provide himself
with good strong cord. A long gar
ter will do if nothing else is handy.
When the cramp comes On take the
cord, wind it around the leg over the
place that is cramped, and take an end
in each hand and give it sharp pull,
one that will hurt a little. Instantly
tho cramp will let up, and the sufferer
can 60 to bed assured it will not come
on again that night. For the perma-
nent cure, give about six or eight cells
of galvanic battery, with the negative
pole applied over the spot that cramps,
and the positive pole over the thigh.
Give it for ten minutes, and repeat
every week for a month.
I have saved myself many a good
nights rest simply by posting my pa
tients subject to spasm of the legs how
to use the cord as above. Ihave never
known it to fail, and I have tried il
after they had worked half the night,
and the patient was in the most intense
agony. Even in such cases, at the first
jerk of the cord. all pain left.-R. "

A TRANSPLANTED EYE.

Description of the First Operation of Its
Kind Ever Performed in America.
A most delicate and remarkable sur
gical operation was recently per-
formed in Philadelphia, which con-
sisted of transplanting part of a rab-
bits eye into that of a human being.
The patient was a girl whose eye was
so infamed as to be almost useless for
vision, and the operation was to re-
ieve the obscurity of sight. Without
technically describing the operation,
it may be simply said to be the en-
grating of a piece of the cornea of the
eye; and a rabbits eye was selected
because of its similarity to the human
eye, and because, being distinctively
herbaceous animal, its blood Is less
liable to communicating influence than
that of animals who live on animal
food wholly Or in part. The patient
and the rabbit were both placed under
the influence of the local an@sthetic,
cocaine, and very delicate instru-
ment, manufactured for the purpose,
was used. This was invented by Prof.
Gipple, of Giessen, Germany, and, by
means of clock-work attachment, not
only bores into the cornea of the eye,
but also registers the exact depth of
the puncture. By this means, a very
small portion of the cornea from q
point directly in front of the pupil
was taken from the rabbits eye, and a
piece corresponding in size and posi-
ton from the afflicted eye of the hu-
man patient, and the piece of rabbits
eye substituted. This is the third
operation of its kind, and the first
performed in this country; but no
doubts of it's satisfactory results are
entertained by expert ophthalmic sur
geons, since the previous operations
were successful beyond expectation

POSTS AND BOARDS.
How to Got the Best Service from N Ord
nary Wooden Fence.

How TO Got the Best Service from IN Ord.
nary Wooden Fence.
Useful observations have been taken
in tearing down and repairing post and
board fence. Where posts are faced so
as to have a fiat surface both posts and
boards soon rot at the point of contact.
If posts are sawed of at the top board,
and the fence capped with another
board, the tops of the posts and tho
boards resting on them decay rapidly.
If the posts are sawed off even with tho
top boards, to make the fence look uni
form, the tops of the posts decay first
and the upper nails draw out and the
boards soon get down. If the posts, are
sawed off at all, it should be six inches
above the upper board. For durability
of both posts and boards at point Of con-
tact, posts should be either round or
with a nearly sharp edge.
But with such posts, boards can not
be matched at the ends. There is q
better way to make post and board
fence. which combines superior strength
and durability. In this the ends of tho
boards of each alternate panel are
nailed on the front of the end posts and
the middle posts are set on front side
and nailed to on the back side, and the
other alternate panels are the reverse
of this. This obviates the necessity Of
helper in mailing on the boards. The
center posts act as braces on either
side. Such fence is not so liable to
get to leaning in consequence of heavy
winds. Made in this way, with round
or sharp-edged posts, one will have the
benefit of all the wear there is in the
material.-Gale,a Wilson, IN N. Y. T1j-

temporary depression caused by the recent
great strike on its lines, was &,425, or but
little below the average: The latter figure
