Peanuts for Insomnia.

Bishop Lyman of North Carolina con
tributes the following to the Raleigh
News and Observer:
II think l have made very valuable
discovery, and l am anxious that others
should enjoy the benefit of it. For near
ly two years have heen suffering great
ly from sleepiessness at night, and fire.
quently have not been able to sleep more
than one or two hours during the night.
1 have tried great number of proposed
remedies, some of which have helped me
a little, but not for any length of time.
A little more than fortnight ago, while
staying at the house of a friend in the
country, my good hostess brought into
the parlor, quite late in the evening, a
bountiful supply of freshly roasted
peanuts. As I am very fond of them
when they are not too much cooked, L
ate quite freely of them and soon after
retired to bed. l found the next morn
ing that had enjoyed the best sleep L
had experienced for over a month. l at
tributed this at unce to the peanuts and
determined to try them again the follow
ing evening. I did so and also drank q
glass of fresh, sweet milk after L had
finished the peanuts. That night slept
still better, and now, for fortnight,
have partaken of the peanuts and the
milk every night, and have not only slept
remarkably we'll, but have also fully re-
covered from slight attack of indiges.
ton which had troubled me before.
now find that peanuts, carefully roasted
and not overdone so as to be at all burn
ed, are surely remedy for sleeplessnesi
and also for that form of indigestion
which is ore of the producing causes OF
sleeplessness.
There is a popular impression that pea
nuts are indigestible, but have neve

MEXICAN Business Growing.

Those who have taken pessimistic
view of Mexican affairs must be surprised
by the favorable showing made by her
railroad, banking and business enter
prises in reports recently published.
These companies are able TO show very
satisfactory progress, and hopeful and
confident view il taken of the she future.
The feet that Mexican commerce and
finance reflect the beneficial Influences of
better and more stable government, and
thst there are many encouraging features
of her business situation, is becoming
more and more apparent, and the argu-
ments in favor of more liberal trade rela
tions and freer intercourse between the
United States and Mexico are constantly
gal ling force. There can be no excuse
for further neglect of the opportunities
offered for arrangements mutually be-
tween the two countries.-New York Com
mercial Bulletin.

Clean up the Farm.
Germantown Telegraph.

Allowing bushes to grow in a pasture
may be excusable, but there appears to
be no excuse for allowing them to grow
in moving Or cultivated fields. If there
is anything that detracts from the ap-
pearance of a farm, it is having the sides
by the walls and fences covered with a
growth of weeds. We have been past
farms, where, in CONSCIENCE of sprouts,
bushes and weeds, it was almost impos-
sible to even get glimpse of the field it
bordered, even though it was clear be-
yond. Where such cases exist there
need of reform, and there is no better
season of the year in which to perform
the labor of cleaning away the nuisance
than the winter. Old hedge rows can be
cut down, the brush piled up and burned
and the i'm Improvement in the looks of the
field will more than pay for all ths labor
required. This condition in cultivated
fields is quite frequently the result of
negligence during the period of oultiva-
ton. It is hardly possible with the pillow
to break up the sod close to a fence or
wall, and in far too many instances this
narrow strip is allowed to remain un-
touched during the entire period of Gull
tivatiop, and is the very place where
foul weeds will lodge and finally germin-
ate, and we hardly ever had field left in
that way, buG that it became pretty well
started with foul growth of rank weeds
and bushes. Although it requires a
little extra labor at first to accomplish
it, it is usually we'll to grub opt from the
fence, and especially so by the sides of
walls all that cannot be upturned by the
pillow, so that the entire surface of the
field may be cultivated and kept clean.
Then when seeded down there will be no
unsightly hedge rows left to be cut at
some more convenient season. There is
yet force in the old saying, ga stitch in
time saves nine."

Measuring or Weighing.

To say the least, measuring is very
uncertain way of buying or selling any
product. While the standard bushel i'm
plies the giving or selling Of so many
pounds, yet in me assuring it will vary
considerable, both because of the uncer-
taiE quantity required to make a bushel,
according to the ideas of different ones,
and because there is a considerable diff
ference in the weight of various pro-
ducts. Oats, wheat and corn will some
times overweight, while at other times
they will be light, and standard meas
ured bushel will either weigh more or
less than the standard weight. A good
product sold by weight is often sold at a
loss in this respect when measured out.
while if the product is of the poorer
quality the buyer will be the loser.
With good scales, the fairest way for
the buyer and seller is TO weigh. If the
product is of a good quality the buyer
and seller fare equally well, as the buyer
gets what he has bargained for and the
seller gets the benefit of the better quail
ity of his product. There is less oppor-
tunity for fraud in weighing, and if prop
er care is taken it should be more salts
factory to both buyer and seller. Every
farmer ought to have a good pair of
scales, and to weigh everything he sells.
In buying or borrowing from neighbor
ne should follow the same plan.
Measuring will do when it is the only
pldr of ascertaining the quantity, but
should not be used when good scales can
be had without TOO much trouble. Merch
ants that are tricky will often buy b!
weight, or the reverse, if it is money to
them. OF course the difference may be a
small item with one bushel-probably
only two or three pounds-but keeping
this up, it will in short time make
considerable difference, well worth taking
the trouble to secure. OF course, it is
possible to cheat with measures, but be
tween men who are honest the scales are
much the fairest.

abe Via Roma.
All the Year Round

The "Via Roma" as the historic "To-
ledo" of Naples is now called, is chiefly
remarkable for the animation which per-
vades it all day and far into the night.
The "carrozzellas" fly through 1T as if the
drivers had wager that their clients
should not have time to look into the
shop windows; ten Thousand bawiing and
screaming peddlers hustle the rich and
poor passers, thrusting journals, matches,
knives, clothing, cooking utensiles, arti-
Giles of food into their very faces, and
reIinGuishing their efforts to sell only
when driven away. The patient and
friendly ass whisks his philosophic tail
at every corner, or place his little gray
foot on your vanished boot Or thrusts
his black mnzzle under your arm in his
endeavors to get across the way with his
load. Down the paved slopes rattle a
wagon laden with EN- pity wine casks, and
furiously drawn by triple team, COM

and scrubby and dis piriIed horse pranc
ing and snortiug ana threatening ami
hilatjon to apythli which comes IN their
way. Here baretoOt friar in yellow
gown stops to have bis hand kissed by an
elder gentleman in black; there contad-
ina, in yellow and red inery, Gescends

Soldiers innum cradle, and Off in
short gray cloaks, and long gray cloaks,
African helmets, and black and gold, en-
llven the scene. The sun pours floods of
light upon the tall yellow houses and il
luminates the most labyr1nthine recesses
of the side streets with their variegated
population of toiiing thousands. The
omnipresent children yell necessarily;
the asses bray; and couples, discussing
trivial matters, gesticulate to that extent
that it seems as if their hands would fly
off at their supple wrists. Men whose
countenances and excited demeanor in
dictate that there are plotting murder,
are really discussing some trivial occur
renee in the neighberhood; and the
bra~ny women, shaking their fists in each
others faces, are merely affirming their
res pective opinions as 10 the merits OF a
recently purchased cabbage. The Nea-
pciitsn regards as vivacity and natural
warmth of expression that which would
seem to US very much like dangerous vic
lence.
