Patriotic men of all parties will be
pleased to know at this early day
that the coming canvass is not to
be personal one, and that it is not
to be filled with trivial and vulgar
topics. We may now be certain
that the discussions of this year
will relate to questions of policy,
and that politics will again furnish
themes fit to occupy the minds of
sincere and thoughtful men. The

Country Made Soap.

The alkalies for sale at the stores
will make a very fair soap, with
less trouble thar the old time
method with I've from wood ashes,
but the product Of the latter is
much stronger and in every way
more satisfactory. The ashes from
hickory is the very best of all for
soap making purposes, although
ashes of any hard wood make e1-
cellent soap. In sections, there
fore, where wood ashes are plenti-
ful it will pay to make soap from
their lye, as the leached ashes will
still be of value for fcrtilizing pur.
poses and all refuse grease utilized
that would otherwise be wasted.
When saving ashes for the leach
be careful not to burn any decayed
or unsound wood. Old barrels
may be placed on an inclined plat
form for the leach or one can be
cheaply made for the purpose.

POSTURE FOR SLEEP AND POSTURE IN
SLEEP,

1t 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 vol
unfairly or instinctively assumed
during sleep; but a little consider.
alton will make it apparent that
this is not correct. 1t may be
granted that, suppOsIng a person to
be sleeping lightly and uncOmfort-
ably, the posture will be changed
half consciously to one of comfort.
1t would be more correct to saw that
it IS changed in the endeavor to
avoid distress or discomfort but
even the fact that sleep is quleter
in the new position will not suffice
to prove that this is a better one,
because the sleep may meanwhile
have become deeper. IL is, on the
whole, impossible to ascertain,
either by experience or observation,
which is the posture most condu.
Give to sleep, and attempts to lay
down rules for the guidance of bad
sleepers are always arbitrary, gen
orally empirical, and rarely of any
practical value. Those who think
"anRmia of the cerebrum" is the
cause of sleep, and those who think
that, though not the cause, a d.
intuition in the quantity Of blood
in The vessels of the encephalon 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 pas
sive congestion causes or promotes
somnolehce, would have the feet
raised and the head lowered. The
confounding stupor with sleep
may, and probably has, something
to do with these differences of Opin-
ion. Meanwhile a commons sense
view of the subject would conclude
that, as there is evidently some
change in the blood state when the
brain falls asleep, the best plan
must seem to be to place the body
in such a position that the flow OF
blood through the vessels OF the
head and neck may be especially
easy and free. The way to secure
this is to allow the head to lie in a
posture and on level that cannot
offer any obstacle to the free return
OF blood through the veins of the
neck, and does not tend to make
the blood flow specially in any par
ticular direction, but leaves nature
at liberty to act as she will.-Lon-
don Lancet.
