Mental Relaxation the Only Legitimate
Relief from Insomnia.
A writer in the american Magazine
refers to the numerous applications
which are made to medical men to pre-
scribe some drug that will be effective
to produce sleep and be at the same
time harmless, He states without
qualification that ''no such drug ex-
lists, . and his opinion will be Endorsed
by all intelligent doctors. Chloral,
bromine and opium in some of their
forms, with smaller quantities of other
drugs, are used by many, thousands of
Americans for the purpose OF produc-
ing sleep, and not few of them go to
bed every night under the influence of
some one of these poisons, the rapidly
Increasing consumption of which tells
of a continuous widening in the
circle of human beings who are
infatuated enough to use these
dangerous substances under the false
impression that they are remedial and
not poisonous, Sleep thus obtained is
not restful nor recuperative, and in
every case where these drugs are re-
sorted to Nature sternly exacts her
penalties for the violation of law. The
digestive powers give way first, and a
few months of persistence after the
first symptoms of stomachic derange-
ment are observable, reduce the pa
tent to the condition of one who long
ago remarked that he was starving in
the midst of plenty, though hungry
enough when no food was before him.
Intense nervousness follows soon upon
this stage, and it is not long ere the
only comfortable hours of existence
are those passed under the influence OF

STACKING ENSlLAGE,

How Green Food Is Preserved in Englani

Not only is green grass preserved in
its green state in England by means OF
silos, but in many cases it is simply

ments for compression, so as to make
the stack solid and keep out the air.
A still simpler method OF stacking is tc
do away with all pressure and weights
entirely. Circular stacks are made
measuring, when settled down, sixteen
feet in diameter and twelve feet high.
In the case of w. j. Whitaker, whose
product took the first prize for sweet
ensilage, the grass was carted and
stacked by two mon direct from the
scythes of the mowers. The outside
was trodden down firmly, the inside
being laid up without being trodden.
The stack was not built all at once but
allowed to settle from day to day, and
more added. The wetter the grass the
better it is likely to turn out from q
stack when not weighted, according tc
this authority, who recommends wet.

course considerable bulk of grass

then ten tons, and much more is recon.
mended. 1t is exceedingly doubtful II
our large American corn fodder can be
thus preserved, but there would be
small risk in trying the stack system OF
ensilage with coarse meadow hay,
brakes, ferns, etc., which are now
either entirely wasted or dried late in
the season for use as bedding. We
know partial trial of this system on
such coarse stuff that was successful in
that the cattle ate the ensilage with
avidity. @.&
Further details for ensilage in stacks
without pressure is thus given by q
correspondent of the Eng lish Farm, and
Home: The making of stack ensilage
is extremely simple. The green stuff
should be cut and made into stack,
which should be round in shape. The
outer edges of the stack must be we'll
trampled down, and be kept slightly
higher than the middle, into which
the grass Is thrown and not trampled
on. The whole Of the green stuff
should not be put into the stack at
once, but at intervals Of two or three
days, thus allowing the mass to settle
down. A few days after the grass is
all cut, dig some earth from around
the stack, and throw it on the top 81
the grass, till g covering about one
foot il thickness is formed. No other
covering Nor pressure will be required
and if the outside Of the stack has been
properly trodden down, there will be
worry little waste. ~ Farm and Honae.

0es communal Loss Of Population Fore

Hal European nations agreed to
limit population just as if MI nations
agreed to disarm Ian epoch Unmarked
material prosperity would no doubt
ensue. At present, however, there
seems no chance whatever of this, and
we are engaged ina general scramble
10 overstock our own countries, and
thence to overspread the earth. "A ma
ton which falls ont of this scramble
may gain in comfort for the time, but
1t will lose its status; its specific type
will become relatively unimportant;
It's thought and literature will lose
their power with mankind. Great and
powerful though France is now, such
countries as Holland and Belgium are
not without their warning for her in
the near future. In fifty years, If the
present rates of increases are main
tanned, she will rank sixth only among
European nations. In one hundred
and fifty years she will have sunk
almost beneath consideration in a
world of Russians and Germans, Anglo
Saxons and Chinese. Without repro
ducing the elaborate computations by
which the relative decline of France
has been exhibited by statisticians, it
is enough to say that in the present
acute phase of national competition
France can not afford to forego the
motive power of the YER sacrum-of
yearly swarms of young mon pressing
forward to develop their country either
by colonization without her borders or
by novel and eager enterprise within.
at the same time it is of course desir-
able that multiplication should be COM
bined with providence-that the in
crease of numbers should not proceed
from the lowest and most reckless
classes alone. Now, in comparing
the natality or rate of increase
of different provinces in France, it
seems that the increase is rapid in
two main quarters Gas with our
selves) among the degraded inhabit-
ants of the poorer quarters of great
cities, and secondly, in those provinces
where Catholicism is still dominant
power. Between Catholic Brittany and
free-thinking Normandy the contrast
is striking, and the more so inasmuch
as the difference of race between these
provinces seems all in favor of the
Norman population, whose young
mothers, indeed, are in special'request
for the benefit of infants other than
their own. Yet the annual births in
Brittany are thirty-three for each thou
sand of population; in Normandy only
nineteen. Now, in the educated classes,
where rapidity of increase is still more
important, the impulses in either direc-
ton, though less crudely defined. are
not therefore less potent. On one side
there are the wish for new objects Of
affection and the satisfaction with the
lot upon which the children will enter;
on the other side, besides the obvious
economical reasons, there are the de-
cline in the value set upon existence
and the doubt whether it is well to
summon new beings as sensitive as
ourselves into world which to each
fresh generation seems to loom more
awful in the Obscurity of it's meaning
and of it's end-Nineteenth Ce7ataIrV.

A fatal accident occurred at the Yuba
mine on Wednesday evening by which
Girolamo Papina lost his life and John
Bingham sustained fracture Of two of
ths ribs on his right side. The day
,hft was coming of work at $50 o'clock
riding up, as usual, in the bucket which
RMS in skids, the shaft being on a
alight incline. Thomas Mcmahon and
papina entered the bucket at the tenth
level, Mcmahon seated and Papina stand.
ing in the bottom Of the bucket in which
po.tion they reached the ninth level,
where Bingham also got on. Bingham
wished Papina to keep his position in the
bottom of the bucket while he himself
would ride, standing on the rim. and
steer" up the shaft Papina refused
and came ont, Bingham taking his place.
papina then mounted the rim and stand.
Ing there gave the signal to hoist. When
at about the eight level the bucket began
to turn in the skids, and Papina, whose
business it was from his position, to bal.
aace. it became excited, and shifting
slightly the light went ont, the bucket
turned completely around and Papina
was thrown off by coming in contact
with the shaft timbers or the skids.
His body was afterwards recovered 400
fest below, crushed almost beyond rec
ignition. Death was instantaneous.
When the bucket turned and failed to
swing around again Mcmahon, not know.
Ing Pspina had fallen, shouted to ring
the bell,' but seems not to have been
heard either on the $40 or 900 #. levels.
The engineer meanwhile suspected some.
thing wrong from the vibrations Of the
rope aud brought the bucket to stop.
Mcmahon assisted Bingham out on to
some timbers, Bingham complaining Of
an injury to his side. They lighted can.

brought up and conveyed to Engine
House No. 2, where Coroner's inquest
was held over the remains. The verdict
was, accidental death, no blnme 70 DO at.

Bingham was assisted home where an ex.

ribs on his right side. McMahon was

Deceased was native OF Switzerland
and about % years Of age. His brother,
