Bismarck as an organ-arinder.

The latest story about Bismarck de-
scribes how he called on Emperor Will
lam the other day, and while waiting
in an ante-room heard voices in tho
Imperial nursery, and went in. Ho
found the little Grown Prince grinding
away at barre el-organ, while two
younger princes we're trying to daaee.
"Please, Prince Bismarck, come and
dance with me, said one of the yonngs'
ters.
'No, am too old; really can not
Dance" said the old gentlemen; "but
II the Grown Prince will dance, l will
grind the organ for you all"
When the Emperor opened the door,
the Chancellor OF the German Empire
was found grinding away in Il high
state of pleasure and perspiratlon,
The moral of the anecdote was drawn
by His Majesty, who said that, not coE-
tent with making three generations OF
Hohenzollerns dance to his pipe, Bis
marck had already begun with the
fourth. Truth.

How to Make AM Easy Rug.

Take piece OF Brussels or tapestry
carpet the size desired. With wooden
needles and Germantown yarn knit u
lace about four or five inches wide,
choosing an easy pattern. The color
OF the yarn should contrast well
with the prevailing color in the CAR
pet, although maroon or cardinal usu-
ally looks we'll with any colOrs used
for this purpose. Sew the lace
around the piece Of carpet as q
border, and you will be surprised
how nice it will look. This Is SO
simple to make that any one who can
use the knitting needles can make a
handsome rug in very short time.
II harder yarn is liked, the Scotch
Starlight will answer the purpose, for
1t wears excellsntly. For those who
crochet but do not knit, any crochet
edge will look pretty, providing the
hook used is coarse, as the cOarser this
edge is made the prettier it will look.

SLEEPING AFTER MEALS.
The Natural Way Of Aiding Digestion and
Strengthening the Brain.

There is widespread superstition,
cherished by the great majority of the
people; that to sleep Immediately after
they have taken food is to endanger
health, to favor the onset Of apoplexy,
etc.-a 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 ana-
mic. When aperson 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 the
brain, which, when in full activity, is
suffused with maximum amount OF
the vital fluid. But derivation o!
blood from the brain to the stomach
can only take place, except in excep.
tionally full-blooded and vigorous per.
sons, on the condition that the cere
bral 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 al
ready partially anamic brain would
fain yield up to the stomach still
further supply OF blood and yeild itself
up to refreshing sleep. Doing so it
gains new strength; meanwhile diges-
tion proceeds energetically; and, soon,
body and mind are again equipped to
continue in full force the battle of life.
But superstition, the child of ignor-
ance, intervenes, declares that sleep
during digestion is dangerous, ad-
monishes the would-be sleepers to
struggle against their perilous inclina-
ton, and, though telling them that
after dinner they may sit awhile, as
sures them OF the adage, "After sup
per walk mile" The millions OF
its victims continue, therefore, the
strife to which it condemns them,
and ignore the suggestions offered to
them by the lower animals, who have
always practiced the lessons of sound
physiology by sleeping after feeding
whenever they are allowed to do SO.
Hence the human brain and human
stomach Of such victims contend with
each other during the digestive process;
the brain, impelled by superstition,
strives to work and demands blood to
work with, while the stomach, stimu-
lated by Its contents, strives to carry
on its marvellous chemistry, and de-
mands an ample supply of blood for
the purpose. The result Of the strug-
gle is that neither is able to do its work
well; the brain is enfeebled by being
denied its natural rest during the d.
gestive process, and the healthy func-
tion of the stomach degenerates into
dyspepsia. Westmisst<r ReVieW.

THE coooA.NuT TRADE.
where the Nuts Consumed in the Unite'
states Come From.

states Come FrOms
Few people have any idea OF the ex-
tent OF the trade In cocoanuts, and even
among those in the business there are
not many who can give actual figures.
A statement has recently been going
the rounds that the Importation OF
cocoanuts into this market last year
reached 100000, and it was thought
that 1t would this year reach 1000, 600.
As matter of fact, within the past
year one schooner brought in single
cargo of 275,OO0 San Bias nuts, and
another schooner brought a mixed cargo
of $4,000.
"How many come in during the
yearp" asked q reporter of an importer.
"As nearly as have been able to
estimate, there were received in this
port during last year just about
17,000,0 900 cocoanuts."
"Where do they come fromp"
"The cocoa-nut palm, which is sup
posed to have originally come from
the coast of India and the South Sea
Islands, is now diffused over all tropi-
cal regions. The supply of the United
States, however, comes from Central
America. To be more explicit, the
main points of supply are Baracoa,
Cuba; St. Andrews Island, the coast
of the Gulf of San Bias, Porto Rico,
Jamaica, Ruatan Island, Boca del Toro,
on the Isthmus; Bluefields, Nicaragua
Trinidad Island, and, in fact, nearly
all the islands and keys and the port:
on the Caribbean sea-"
(Which are the best nutsp"
''For several reasons the San Bias
nuts are generally conceded the first
place. Then come those of Boca de
Toro, Port Limon, etc. The cocoanu
season runs pretty much the same al
the year through"
"How are the imports this yearp"
"They will show about the same fig
ures. The imports for the first 81,
months of 1883 show very slight in
crease over 1887. They amount tt
9,571, ,498 nuts"
"How many nuts will tree pro
duceP"
IA good, well-grown cocOanut tre'
will produce in the rainy season a
many as two nuts every three days; il
the dry season it will not average NOR
than one every two days. Of cours
many do not come to perfection. Man.
are blown off before they mature. /
hundred and eighty nuts u year nigh
be considered fair average for a goo'
tree. When the nut is ripe it falls O
its own weight, so the 'Sinbad tn
Sailor story about throwing stones a
