Washington already possesses the nucleus
ofa hrst-class exposition in the Smithsonian,
the National Museum, with its wealth Of
curIositles from every cline, the Patent Or
fee and similar buildings. We shall proba-
bly, have still another to add to the list-the
National Geological Gardens connected
With the Smithsonian. Prof. Langley, upon
whom the selection oil the land for the park
devolved, made his report to the President q
few Says ago. In it he recommends the pur-
chase Of 166 acres Of land situated in the
beautiful Rock Greek Valley. The site
chosen is most beautiful one, and when the
work of arranging the grounds to meet the
requirements Of the Zoo is completed, the
park will compare favorably with any ofthe
famous gardens Of the world. The price will
probably be 81, ZOO per acre.
Although the President probably realizes
that before the park is completed Baby Nc
Kee will be little too large to take that
deep interest in the buzwig and the jimfa-
loon characteristic Of childhood, he never
theless showed considerable interest in the
report Of the man of science from Ailegheny.
your sister city. and it is very likely that be
will send the report to the next Congress-
with his hearty Endorsement The size OF
the park will enable the animals now eooped
up in the little pens In the rear Of the Smith
sonian to live in natural state. In the
meantime, while the work Of preparing the
Zoo is progressing, our visitors will be en-
tertained by that other grand aggregation
known as Congress, which opens next week.

CAUSES OF WAKEFULSESS,

The primary cause OF wakefnl,aoss is on
increase In tne uuantity OF blood circu-
latinR in the brain; h:nce, any condition
or cau.e capable OF inducing this state OF
the cerebral circulation may give ri to
1t. AS these causes are more or less un-
| der the control Of the Individual, 1t is iui-
| portant that they should be generally
known. !. Excessive and long continued
| Intellectual action, or p 3weriul mental
emotions. 9. Those positions of the
body which tend to impede the flow of
blood from the brain, and, at the same
time, not to obstruct its passage to the
brain. Many physicians have noticed
the connection existing between bodily
position and wakefulness. 1t lie evident
tlat the recuubent position is more con-
ducive to o state of congestion OF the
brain than the erect or semi-erect. DIR.
Forbes Winslow, DR.. Hammond and
other physeans have noticed an increase
In the number and intensity OF hallucina-
tons OF insane patients, or persons SUI
fering from delirium tremens, as soon as
they assume the recumbent position
These patients have been found to sleep
quietly for some time in an armchair, but
TO be annoyed by hallucnations as soon
as they lie down. 3. Certain substances
used as medicine or food.
The chief agents OF this class are alco.
hol, tei-especially strong green tea
cotlee, opium, belladonna, stramonium
and Indian hemp and hashish. Opium
In small doses is often especially potent
in inducing wakeiulness. \ single dose
oil half grain has been known to keep
a patient awake for three consecutive
nights. All the so-called narcotics in
small doses induce wakeiulness rather
sleep.
Functional arrangements of certain or
gans OF the body, whereby an increase in
the amount of blood in tho brain is pro-
duced. AS however, such cases as these
are beyond the control of the sufferer. we
need not discuss them here. In all those
cases of wakeiulness dependent upon se-
we're and long continuous mental exerton
and these are the cases to which we es-
pecially wish to draw the attention OF
our realers-all means of relief will be
utterly useless until the potent consents
to give his brain entire relaxation for a
time. Whenever it is possible, course
OF travel through a romantic country, or
q visit to the seaside, should be regarded
as imperative. An early dinner, follow
ed by hearty supper of plain and nu-
tritious dishes, is preferable to a heavy,
late dinner, and glass or two of I'm
perial Crown sherry of some equally
choice aud good wine at both meals, or
glass of good whisky or brandy and water
after supper may often be taken with ad-
vantage.

Worth Remembering.

stephen A Peck was IL mau who was
liked and looked up to by all who knew
him. He was honest, kind aud true, d
warm friend and good neighbor. The
boys and girls ell liked him because he
never forgot what he had been once him
self. He became rich, was made mayo,
OF Now York city, and lived to be very
old. He lost his life IN steamboat dis
aster. These who found his dead body
found scrap of paper in his pockctbook,
says Topographic Messenger, which was
SO worn with oft reading that they could
scarcely make out the words, but this ia
what was upon the paper:
be Idle.
If your hands cannot be use!ully en-
pioyed attend to the cultivation of your
mind.
Always speak the truth. Make lew
promises.
Live up to your engagements.
Keep your own secrets, II you have any.
When you speak to person look him
In the face.
Good company and good conversation
are the very sinews OF virtue.
Good character is above all thi1gs else
Your character cannot be essentially
injured except by your own acts.
II any one speaks evil of you, let your
life be so that none win be leYe him.
Drink no kind of intoxicating liquors.
Ever live (misfortuae excepted) within
your income.
