HOW SHALL WE SLEEP?

Whether one position IN sleep
is better than another may be an
important question, but it does not
seem to have been authoritatively
settled that any particular position
is the best to adopt. Sleeping on
the right side is more common than
on the left, and sleeping on the
back is comparatively rare. Eyi-
dence has been found to show that
sleeping on the left side favors
bronchitis, and sleeping on the right
side appears to increase a tendency
to constipation. 1t has been strong
ly urged that health and longevity
are best secured by lowering the
head and raising the feet, though
some nervous affections require a
partially erect posture.

THE WANE OF INTELLECT.

The mind, on which man so prides
himself, develops and expands until
the age of about forty, and then de-
clines. Decay is the ineXorable law
of nature. Sad is the fading away
of brilliant mind at the approach
of dissolution, but sadder than death
is it when the brain perishes before
the body. How often, alas, we
see" says Holmes, "the mighty
satirist tanned into oblivious imbe-
cility, the great scholar wandering
without sense of time or place
among his alcoves, taking his books
one by one from the shelves and
fondly patting them: A child once
more among his toys, but a child
whose to-morrows come hungry, and
not full-handed-come as birds of
prey in the place of the sweet sing
ers of morning. We must all be-
come as little children if we live
long enough but how blank an eX-
istence the wrinkled infant must
carry into the kingdom of heaven
if the power that gave him MEM
ory does not complete the miracle
by restoring it!'

THE ORGANIC CYCLE.

The idea of the indestructibilty
and ceaseless change of matter leads
to curious reflections. When an
animal body decomposes whether
the process occupies four years, or
even four thousand years, any one
of these periods being qui e possible,
those elements which assume
the gaseous form mingle at once
with the atmosphere, and are taken
up from it without delay by the ever
open mouths of vegetable life. By
II thousand pores in every leaf the
carbonic acid which renders the at
mosphere unfit for animal life is
absorbed, the carbon being separated
and assimilated to form the vegeta-
BILE fibre, which, as wood, makes
and furnishes our houses and ships,
is burned for our warmth, or Is
stored up under pressure for coal.
"All this carbon has played its part,
and many parts, in its time, rs ami

been many negroes in its turn, and

grail portions ofmany extinct species.

speedily go to the making of lords
of creation A nd so ON, again and
again, as long as the world lasts"

The Highest waterFan.

A recent traveller in New Zealand
describes the great Sutherland
waterfall. "The water,n he says,
"dashes over the cliff in three grand
leaps, and constitutes about one
half Of the entire volume Of the
Arthur river. The first leap is over
u dizzy cliff into u rocky basin SIS
feet below, Jumping forth again,
It makes anoth er leap of 75l feet and
then goes twmbling and leaping in
one wild dash OF 3SS feet into the
pool at the foot Of the precipice.
The total height is 1905 feet, maxi
ing the waterfall the highest yet
discovered. When the sun is shin
ing minbows of all sizes hang over
the fall, and the effect is lndescrib-
ably beautiful. San Francisco Ex-
aminer.
