Four Mountain Lions.

Afew days since j. r. Hammond, who
holds his sheep with the Smiley heard,
located at present near Walcott. heard
In the early morning a commotion
among the corrallcd sheep, says the
Platte Valley (Wy. I'd Tyre
Rising hastily from his blankets Mr..
Hammond seized his Winchester rife
and hurried to the corral. The sheep
were crowdiny each other TO and fro
in their pen. and the one united and
continuous bleat which arose from
their midst had a piieous terror. Con-

cautiously around the corral Scarcely
had h. taken twenty steps when he
came full upon mountain lion crouch
ing behind a bunch OF sage brush with
his mouth wide open. So close was
the savage brute that 10 present a gun
in the ordinary manner was impossible.
and SO Mr. Hammond actually thrust
the barrel Of his Winchester into the
lions open mouth and fired shot that
was instantly fatal
The echoes Of the report had not
died away before a second lion sprang
into sight from the cover of the sage
brush and was also instantly killed by
ball from the trusty Winchester.
Again there came that ominous rattle
az the sage brush. aud third lion
made his appearance and was likewise
laid low by Mr. Hammopd's uuerring
aim.
Ia the meantime p. Pritohard. one
Of the herders, had been aroused by
by the firing and made his appearance
upon the scene with his gun, which he
nc once proceeded 10 use with fatal
effect, still another lion being his tar

these ferocious animals Slain in almost

after mutton. but themselves became
the 'smutton" of Messrs Hammond and
Pritchard. Examination showed that
the lions were members of one mount
ain household, consisting OF the mother
and three kittens-no SLOUGH of kit
tens, either, ms one OF them measured
seven feet between tip OF nose and tail,
fact doubtless furnishing conclusive
evidence that these lions belonged TO
the long-nosed variety.

To Stnn Coughing.

The majority of coughs are unneces-
sary. Nature induces the cough for
the purpose of getting rid of some
foreign material in the throat, il may
be mucus. the result of catarrh, or
some foreign substance which has been
inhaled. A cough is not necessary
when not induced by the catarrh
named. Not a few cases of chronic
coughs are simply the result of habit
The eminent DIR. Brown-Sequard oncc
made the following suggestions about
how TO stop cough; Coughing can
be prevented by pressing on the nerves
OF the lips in the neighborhood of the
nose. A pressure there may prevent u
cough when IL is beginning. Sneezin g
may be stopped by the same mechan-
ism. Pressing also in the neighbor-
hood of the ear may stop coughing.
Pressing very hard on the top of the
mouth inside is also a means OF stop
ping coughing. And, may say, the
will has immense power, too, There
was French surgeon who used 70 say
whenever he entered the wards of the
hospital. The first person who coughs
will be deprived of food to-day 1t
was exceedingly rare that a patient
coughed then.

FLYING Under Water.

One Of the most water-loving birds

Peanuts for Insomnia.

The Rev. DIR. Theodore b. Lyman.
Episcopal bishop Of North Carolina.
has written the following letter TO the
Raleigh Daily News and Courier;
al think have made very valuable
discovery, and am anxious that
others should also enjoy the benefit Of
it. For nearly two years have been
suffering greatly from sleeplessness at
night. and frequently have not been
able to sleep more than one or two
hours during The night. 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 stay
ing at the house Of friend in the
country, my good hostess brought into
the parlor quite late in the evening, a
bountiful supply of freshly roasted
peanwts. As / am very fond of them
when they are not too much cooked
ate quite freely of them and soon after
retired to bed. / found the next morn
ing that had enjoyed the best sleep /
had experienced for over month. /
attributed this at once to the peanuts
and determined to try them again the
following evening. / did SO and also
drank glass Of fresh sweet milk after
had finished the peanuts. That night
| slept still better, and now for a fort
night have partalxen of the peanuts
and milk every night and have not
only slept remarkably well. but have
also fully recovered from a slight at
tack of indigestion that had troubled
me before. / now find that peanuts,
carefully roasted and not over-done. so
as to be at all burnt, are surely a
remedy for sleeplessness and also for
that form of Indigestion which pro-
duces sleeplessness.
There is popular impression that
peanuts are indigestible, but 1 have
never found them so unless they were
| too much roasted or had been roasted
many days before. When too much
cooked or when stale they certainly
are indigestible, but when careful
| ly roasted and fresh they promote
digestion. They should be eaten
shortly before going to bed and not
more than a half-pint should be
taken. They should be roasted before
they are shelled and shelled only as
they are eaten. A half-pint Of shelled
nuts would be too many. / commend
this remedy with great confidence to
those who are afflicted with insomnia.
particularly if indigestion is in part
the cause of it. The peanut is very
valuable article as food when carefully
roasted and partaken of in moderation.
