Statistics Concerning Beer.

Professor Schwackhofer delivered a
lecture recently to the Vienna HYGIENE
society on the subject of beer After
giving some statistics on the consumption
Of this beverage the lecturer went on to
describe its manufacture and adulteration.
The birthplace of beer is Egypt. A pap
yrus has been discovered on which a
father reproaches his son for lounging
about in taverns and drinking too much
beer. From the Egyptians the art of
brewing descended to the Ethiopians.
While the Romans despised beer, the
Germans of the north of Europe fully ap-
precieted its good qualities. However,
the refreshing draught became more popu-
lar in the first half of the Middle Ages.
In the beginning only converts obtained
the monopoly of brewing beer, but later
on the privilege was extended to lay cor
porations. In Austria the first brewery
was established in Vienna in 1860, and
beer soon became the favorite beverage Of
all classes of society. At present the
yearly production throughout the whole
world amounts to $500, 600 gallons; Eng

THE BRAINS OF CHILDREN.
A Little Relaxation Before Bedtime
Hours of Sleep.

A Little Relaxation Before Bedtime.
Hours of Sleep.
There is almost no limit TO what you can
teach yourself, If you try long enough.
Time mus always be given to the brain, and
on this condition patient perseverance will
carry a student to almost any goal. Hur-
ryiug the little brains of children is to force
false pace except with the obviously lazy;
but the bugbear Of overpressure need not be
feared SO long as the principles controlling
the health of the body generally is observed.
Overpressure often means under feeding
Sleep is the rest of the brain, its great rest.
Il variation in work, a change Of subject, is
another kind of rest, the best rest often for
the higher or intellectual centers; and an i'm
rnensc amount Of mental labor can be safely
undertaken, If sufficient variety is secured
But In the end the brain demands sleep, and
this is especially the case when the lower or
more animal centers have been much used,
as in children at play.
Habit has great deal to do with fnsuring
good nights rest, the habit of going to bed
at regular hour. Hard mental work up to
tho moment Of retiring may cause the loss Of
nights rest, and it is q good plan to in
dulge in little relaxation before bedtime,
like piece of light literature, a game, or
some music. Trivial things may win slum-
Der, such as lowering the pillow or turning
its cold side; but artificial means Of distract
ing thought have nearly invariably proved
totally uselesa Children require more sleep
than grown people. A healthy baby for the
first two months or SO spends most of its time
asleep. After that baby should have at
least two hours Of sleep in the forenoon and
ono hour in the afternoon; and it is quite
possible to teach almost any infant to adopt
this as regular habit. Even to the age Of
4 or years a child should have one hour Of
sleep, OF at least rest in bed, before its din
ner; and it should be put to bed at 6 or z
in the evening, and left undisturbed for
twelve or fourteen hours
Up to the 18th year most young people
require ten hours, and to the Goth 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
necessary. Eight hours sleep will prevent
more nervous arrangements in women than
any medicines can cure During growth
there must be ample sleep, If the brain is to
develop to its full extent; and the more
nervous, excitable or precocious child is,
the longer sleep should it get, if its intellec-
tual progress is not to come to a premature
stand still, or its life be cut short at an early
age The period OF full maturity with it's
maximum of mental activity is the period Of
minimum demand for sleep; but old age
reverts to the habit of childhood, and passes
much Of its time in slumber.-C. +. Pollock,
NJ D., in The Chautauquan.

Precautions Against piDhtheria.

The poison of diphtheria being, as a
rule, arobic, it is inhaled ard commits its
ravages in the respiratory tract, the nos
trils, fauces, larynx, tracheas and bron
chial tubes. Its relations, then, to SAM
tation are very close; whatever is source
of impurity in the air we breathe renders
us liable to disease by depressing the vital
forces and weakening the normal resist
ing power of the individual tissue cells.
Diphtheria, once established, can be prop
agated by close proximity to the patient,
by his breath, by kissing, by the bed
clothes or articles used about the patient,
from the expectorated matters. the ex-
creta, from the false membrane itself, and
from the body dead from diphtheria.
Water contaminated with the germ, in
fected milk, sewer air, domestic animals,
ochlesis, all manner Of dust or dirt are
capable Of carrying and developing the
diphtheric germ. Hence, it follows that
perfect cleanliness, with thorough disin-
lection of all suspected places or things,
is our only safe reliance against diphthe-
ria.-The Sanitarian.

A Recruiting Omcer,s Op,n;op.

"There is no nation on earth so generous
to its soldiers" says Capt F. D. Garrety,
''as is the United States OF America. Every
soldier is furnished with all the clothing he
requires in any emergency and the goods Of
which those clothes are made are Of the best
quality. A heavy California blanket, sheets,
pillow, mattress and steel spring bedstead are
allotted to each one, and if he cannot sleep
well with such an outfit, it is his own fault.
Then again the rations are always good and
plentiful We have men come in here who
have served in the armies of Europe, and
they are utterly amazed by the many COM
forts they find. The pay, too, is fari above
the pay received by European soldiers. 1t is
true that $13 month sounds small, but you
see that $13 is all clear gain and no soldier
need spend cent of the sum unless he wants
to. There are many men in the service who
save up their salaries, and at the end of five
years find that they have pretty snug sum
by them There are ignorant men coming
into the service. These receive immense
benefits. At every post there is a night
school, with competent teachers, which they
attend, and each post has its library. Men
who go into the army knowing neither how
to read nor write are able to do both and to
figure in the bargain before their terms Of
service expi-- Pioneer Press.

Sfacnafion of Wall Street.

The stagnation that has taken possession
of Wall street is perceptible in no way as
potently as in the absence of the peddlers
who in good seasons haunt the vicinity Of

thing, from pencils to paintings, and from
dogs to diamonds. A few of them re-

uatcA.nS the Public Fauc,

hsvc an acquaintance who earns a
handsome living, with money to spare, by
inventing new devices of all kinds likely
to catch the capricious public fancy. He
has invented toys, bats, advertisements,
inks, pens, pencils and know not what
else, and is now concentrating his energies
upon a novelty in stationery. The de-
maud for new styles and shapes in fancy
stationery is constant. Any oddity, how
ever eccentric in color, size or form that
it may be, is certain to go. What he pro-
poses is to presumably put upon the
market black paper and envelopes, to be
written on with white ink. He has per-
fected his device, he AYERS, and expects to
reap handsome fortune by it For per-
sons IN very deep mourning, especially
those who have lost wealthy relatives
who have remembered them In their Wills,
it should certainly possess unusual
attractions. As we have had every other
color in stationery but black, nothing
WILL suppose, remain after 1t but for him
TO invent some substitute for paper to
write on.-Trurnble In New York News

called the chief feature Of the new school
Since this discovery the insane are no

in correlation between mental and
physical disturbances. Pusrpsral, cardiac
and hepatic insanity have been recognized
in their turn, and the modern movement

Instead of replying TO the quesuon, rn

Instead of replying TO the question, rne
little fellow said:
"Mr. Peter, do you see this humming
topf" Saint Peter returned indulgently,
'tPray, how came it there'"
MY mother laid it in my grave with
me-" answered the child, seriously. He
then picked up his top, rewound the
string, and extending the top temptingly
toward the apostle, said:
''Mr. Peter, if you will let the count
go in there with me l will let you spin
my top"
tDo you know the count, child"'
+ s'Of course. It was the count that
gave me the top"
"Ahl Tell me how that happened,
dear boy.'
Once I was sitting ct the door, eating
my bread, and when I had finished l be-
gan to cry. just then the count came
driving along in beautiful blue and gold
coach, with four gray horses. And the
carriage stopped and the count said:
:: Are you hungry, little boy?'
No. said l, i have just had my
bread
"And the count said: Then why ara
you crying"

Father and mother so off to work early
in the morning, and don't come home till
late al night, ard the children won't play
with me because | am SO slow" Then
the count said that he would bring me
something to play with. And in little
while he came back with the top. and we
made it spin, the count and l together;
after that I never cried any more"
Saint Peter made 10 reply, but buried
his head in MS ledger, muttering:
81 know he's rather old fogyish In his
accounts, our old bookkeeper, Gabriel
still, we have always been able TO rely
upon him-ah, was sure Of itP' he ex-
claimed joyfully; ''here it is on the very
last credit page"
Gave day laborer's crippled child a
top-co1nmonly called a humming top
and with great kindness and gentleness
showed the boy how to spin it."
With almost youthful eagerness Saint
Peter seized his red pencil end drew a
broad line through the whole long list of
sins and offenses, and the next moment
the Count, clasping the child's hand, en-
tered the kingdom of heaven.-Translated
