MINNIE DID 1T.
The Reason why She Could Not Sleep
How Mamma Knew.

How Mamma Knew.
She sat up in bed. The curtain was
drawn up, and she saw the moon, and
it looked as if it were laughing at her.
"You needn't look at me, Moon" she
said, ''you don't know about it, you
can't see in the daytime. Besides L
am going to sleep"
She lay down, and tried to go to
sleep. Her clock on the mantel went
''tick-tock, textbook" She generally
liked to hear it. But tonight 1t sound

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

Strengthening Jne brains
There is a 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 thing as congestive sleep, but
during normal sleep the brain is ana-
mic. When aperson has taken a 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 q derivation of
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 alter taking dinner feel
indisposed for mental action, and
not few long for sleep, The al
ready partially an9mic brain would
fain yield up to the stomach a still
further supply of blood and Yield itself
up to refreshing sleep. Doing so it
gains new strength; meanwhile diges-
ton proceeds energetically; and, soon,
body and mind are again equipped to
continue in full force the battle of life.
But superstition, the child of ignorA
ance, intervenes, declares that sleep
during digestion is dangerous, adj
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
uA Bl ebSulNCd bIO lCOoOllO Vi HOullA
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 .he di-
FESTIVE process, and the healthy func-
ion of the stomach degenerates into
dyspepsia. - Westminster ReUieW.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
"Ho, FOR SUNDERLAND |"

A little song for bedtime,
When, robed in gowns OF white,
All sleepy little children
Set sail across the night
For that pleasant, pleasant country,
Where the pretty dream-howers blow,
'TwiXt the sunset and the sunrise,
tVs For the Slumber Islands, hoi
When the little ones get drowsy
And heavy lids droop down
To hide blue eyes and black eyes,
Gray eyes and eyes of brown,
A thousand boats for Dreamland
Are waiting in a row,
And the ferrymen are calling:
For the Slumber Islands, hor
Then the sleepy little children
Fill the boats along the shore,
And go sailing of to Dreamland;
And the dipping Of the oar
In the Sea of Sleep makes music
That the children only know
When they answer to the ooatmen's

Oh take kiss, my darlings,

In the boat OF dreams that's waiting
To bear you DER the sea;

And here Marjorie really began to cry
little.
Aunt Sophie didn't say any thing.
She only held the little girl close, and
stroked the soft hair gently, and pres
emily the child said in penitent little
voice: "But l want Kitty to have one,
Auntie-I truly do. Do you think it
would be selfish if keep all my six,
and take my little gold dollar that
Uncle Jack gave me, and buy her a
new dolly for her own self? He said
to buy any thing wanted, Uncle Jack
did, and I'd rather give it to Hitty
than have any thing myself. Would
that do, do you think?"
That will do charmingly," said
Aunt Sophie, kissing her. Come,
let's go up stairs and ask mamma this
very minute, and we'll go down street
and buy the young lady at once. Then
we can dress her and take her down to
Kitty directly. Let me see! suppose we
measure Seraphina, and get one that
can wear some of her clothes; she has
so many. You're willing to sacrifice
one Of Seraphina's dresses, aren't
you?"
"Oh, clothes!" cried Marjorie, eager
ly; "she can have them all. Tisn't
her clothes l care about, it's Sera-
pima"
"Well, we don't want them ALL"
said Auntie, laughing. There. now,
here's just the thing-this blue sailor
suit. Isn't there hat for ftp Yes, !
thought so. Now get me the tape-meas-
ure and run and ask mamma while ]
see how tall she is"
So in a few minutes Aunt Sophie and
her little niece were in the car on their
way down town. They had a great
hunt for the new dolly to find one just
tall enough and plump enough, but
not too plump. Atlast appeared fair
one, with golden locks, a big, blue,
eyed creature that Marjorie called
Ethelinda on the spot, and when they
took her home, Seraphina's clothes
fitted her perfectly, and she was soon
arrayed in a pretty set Of under-cloth-
ing complete, with a pair of boots on,
and then the dainty sailor dress,
with broad white collar, pretty red tie
and jaunty hat, and was pronounced
quite charming.
Then they took her down to little
Hitty's house, not forgetting some good
things for the sick child to eat. And
very pretty it was to see the rapture
with which Ethelinda was received,
and Marjorie's own delight in it when
they came away and left little Hitty
hugging the doll closely to her, and
smiling down at Ethelinda like little
mother.
That night, when all the dollies had
been undressed and laid in their own
little beds, with an extra kiss for poor
Josephine, who could never be like the
rest any more, Marjorie went upstairs
to her own little room, carrying the
faithful Ethel, who always slept with
her, and whispering to her softly;
"Ethelinda's great deal handsomer
than you, you poor old thing; but she's
Hitty's, and l love you a thousand
times better because you're mine''-

StrenuOusly Denied.

INDIANAPOLIS, December 1.-The So
called split in the Grand Army of the
Republic, which originated here, con-
tinues the uppermost theme in veteran
circles and with the local press. That
the movement has been greatly exag-
gerated by the Eastern press is admitted
on all sides here. Colonel Walker, As
sistant Adjutant- General Of the G. A. K. =,
Department of Indiana, sends the fol-
lowing printed statement to the Associ-
ated Press:
wish to enter protest against the
statements and interviews published,
especially in the Eastern press, about
the disaffection among the comrades of
the G. A. R. in this Depart
ment. Nothing of the kind has
occurred, and the membership was
never more united and enthusiastic
in their support of the Order, than now.
The handful of disappoint chronic Office
seekers here, that have succeeded in
getting themselves advertised through
out the country, have no standing, nor
never had, in the G. A. R., or out of it
for that matter. The whole business
has been engineered by half dozen
chronics, and at no meeting have they
been able to secure the attendance OF
fifty persons, and not to exceed half of
these have ever been members of the
G. A. R. No Democrat of standing or
influence in this community, who is a
member of the 6. A. R., can be found
opposing the Order. On the contrary,
scores of comrades of that political faith
have personally and by letter denounced
this attempt Of these small-try politicians.

LONDON, December lin the House of
Commons to-day the Speaker ordered f.
Graham, an advanced Liberalist. TO
withdraw from the House because he
had accused Smith, Government leader,
of conniving at dishonorable trick. and
refused to retract the accusation. As
Graham was leaving the House men,
Der shouted, ''Bravo, Graham!"
In an interview Graham explaine d
that the trouble arose over the action of
Brooke Robinson, Conservative, in put
ting motion on paper to prevent the
discussion upon the chain makers griev-
ances. Graham characterized this as a
dishonorable trick and expressed the
belief that the Government instigated
Robinson to perform it. He refused to
withdraw his statement, hence his els
missal. Graham says he will not apollo
gize, no matter what the result may be.
WASTE OF TREASURE AT sUAKIN.
The Commons went into committee
this afternoon on the question of voting
e236, 1850 for embassies and missions
abroad.
Morley moved nominal reduction 10
order to raise discussion on the pro-
posal to send British troops to Suakin.
He denounced the Governments policy
of shedding blood and wasting the
country's treasure in projects which
would result in no good to any human
being.
Ferguson, Parliamentary Secretary oi
tae Foreign Office, replied that the pres
ent Government was not responsible for
the waste of treasure and blood in the
Soudan. Advices were sent the Egyptian
Government to maintain a purely de.
fensive policy. But a defensive policy
did not imply the surrender Of
Suakin, which would leave
the country overrun with Arabs
Surely Morley did not seriously suggest
the absolute abandonment of Suekim
Recurring to the slave trade, the speaker
said he was able to intimate that the
Government had proposed to Belgium tc
initiate fresh references to the Powers
on the lines indicated by Cardinal Lavig

Quarrymen in California get probably Y
higher wages than any of their craft in
the world. The block-mskers at the
Victor quarry are paid two cents block
and each man can make from 800 to 400
during days work of ten hours. One
man there last week made over 1000 in
one day and his earnings footed up to
about $54 for the weeks work. Quite a
number of the men engaged in the Vic
tor quarries come out here from the
East each fall, as the rigid winter be-
yond the Rockies prevents steady work
there during the fall months. Many
have went back for their families and
intend to locate here permanently.
