cold. The weather has been the most
severe known for years. Bonhsm re-

miles distant. resulted In losing 25O OF
them. Stock froze to death while
standing la the streets. Sherman re-
ports that the meagre advices from

Lamar Confirmed.

Washington Telegram: The Senate
went into executive session at o'clock
Monday afternoon aud three-quArters
of an hour later took up the nomina-
ton Of Mr.. Lamar. It's consideration
lasted until 8 o'clock, ut which time
the nomination WAS confirmed by a
vote Of 20 to 2s. Senators Riddle
berger, Stanford and Stewart voted
with the Democratic. All the Rspub.
licans voted or were paired against
Mr.. Lamar and oil the Democrats
were In hie favor. The discussion
was almost entirely confined to the
Republican side. The principal
speakers were Messrs. Edmund &c,
Evarts, Cullom, Sherman, Hoar, Haw-
ley, ingalls,, Wilson, OF Iowa, and Mr..
Riddleberger, the last named making
two speeches. The line Of opposition
covered the official aud political REQ
ord Of the nominee, as well as bis age.
business habits and legal qualifications.
II is understood that no speeches were
made by Democratic senators. Voting
began at 8 o'clock, but was inter-
rupted and nearly an hours argument
intervened before the roll call was fin
ished. The nominations Of Messrs.
Villas aud Dickinson were then at once
taken up and confirmed without de-
bate and IL was ordered that the Presi.
dent be notified OF the confrmstlons.

Posture Of o Sleeper.

II would seem on the first blush Of the
matter that the posture for-that is, to
favor-sleep must be generally the same
as that voluntarily or instinctively as
sumed during sleep; bu; little considera-
ton will make it apparent that this Is nos
correct. 1t may be granted that, sup
posing person TO be sleeping lightly and
uncomfortably, the posture will be changed
half consciously TO one Of comfort. 10
would be more correct 10 say that IL is
changed in the endeavor 10 avoid distress
or discomfort; but even the fact that sleep
is quieter in the new position will noe
suffice 10 prove that this is better one,
because the sleep may meanwhile have
become deeper.
1t is, on the whole, impossible TO ascer-
tain, either by experience or observation,
which is the posture most conducive to
sleep, and attempts to lay down rules for
the guidance Of bad sleepers are always
arbitrary, generally empirical, and rarely
Of any practical value. Those who think
"anmmia Of the cerebrum' is the cause Of
sleep, and those who think that. though
not the cause, diminution In the guam
tity Of blood In the vessels OF the ence-
phalon is a necessary concomitant Of sleep
prefer and recommend that the head
should be higher than the feet; while
those who adopt the opposite view, and
think passive congestion causes or pro-
notes somnolence, would have the feet
raised and the head lowered. The con-
founding stupor with sleep may, and
probably has, something TO do with these
differences Of opinion.
Meanwhile a common sense view of
the subject would conclude that. as there
Ia evidently some change in the blood
state when the brain falls asleep, the best
plan must seem TO be 10 place the body in
such position that the how Of blood
through the vessels Of the head and neck
may be especially easy and free The
way 10 secure this Is allow the head 10
lie in n posture and on n Lowell that can
not offer any obstacle 10 the free return
of blood through the veins Of the neck,
and does not tend 10 make the blood dow

Death Penalty Into Eject. &A
New YORK, January 1.-THE re.
port Of the commission appointed by
the legislature to report the most hu'
name and practical method known to
the modern silence Of the day for car
rying into effect the sentence Of death
in capitol cases has been transmitted
to the legislature. II recommends the
killing OF culprits by electricity. In
regard to the advant tages Of electricity
the commission says: The appllca-
ton may be made without danger 10
the officials; the place for Its use may
be strictly private, and Its certainty is
beyond a doubt. One objection 10 the
use OF electricity is the shock which
people uninstructed In Its use suppose
10 inflicted on condemned man. AZ
a matter Of fact an electric shock can
not produce sensation which can be
perceptible TO the criminal the velo-
city Of the current is so great that the
brain is psrslyzed. The commission
recommends that chair with q foot
aud head rest should be used in which
the condemned man could be seated In
a half reclining position. One wire
could be connected with the head rest
aud the other with the foot rest,
which would be a metal plate. The
electric current could be supplied by
electric light wires. The commission
recomme nds that the date Of the exc
cution be made uncertain 30 that the
criminal may not know on what day
he is 10 die; and that the corpses 20 to
the doctors or TO namsless graves
without religious rites, and that tn,
newspapers be forbidden to deScrib,
