Peanuts for sIssnles.ness.

What will to many be very agreeable
remedy has been recommended by a learned
prelate for the cure of insomnia. He says
that he has found sleep induced by the eat
ing of a half pint of peanuts just before
retiring for the night. The nuts should be
carefully roasted in the shell and not over
done or burned. He considers that only
overlooked or stale nuts are indigestible.

Romance of Invention.

Some of the pioneers in electrical applica

A. G. Bell was at one time walking
about Washington anxious to sell telephone
stock for 10 cents on the dollar. Before that
be was teaching deaf and dumb school In
Boston. The telephone brought him fame
and riches, and he now has an income OF
hundreds of dollars day, and fortune OF
$6,000,000 G. E. Brush is said to have

Modern milling and Modern Teeth.

The modern milling processes and mod
ern -four are great enemies to modern teeth.
1t is the outside of all the grains and cereal
foods that contains the carbonate and phos-
phate of lime and traces of other earthly
salts which nourish the bony tissue and
build the frame up, and by sitting away the
outside of corn, oats, barley, etc., we de.
prive the teeth of proper nourishment, and
every succeeding generation OF teeth is be-
coming more and more fragile and weak.
Oatmeal is one OF the best foods for supply
ing the teeth with nourishment. 1t makes
the dentine, cementum and enamel strong,
fint-like and able to resist all forms of de-
cay. II you have children never allow any
white bread on your table. The best bread
is made of whole wheat ground, not bolted,
so that the bran which contains the minute
quantities of lime is present

Some disquieting theories have been late
ly advanced on this question. Prof. Joseph
F. Jones protests strongly against tapping
the natural gas reservoirs, and says that
disastrous explosions will eventually occur,
and the gas being exhausted, the earth's
crust will collapse, and the earth will lose
its place among the heavenly bodies and
fail to pieces. Another writer prophesies
that if the boring is continued the country
along the gas belt from Toledo through
Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky will be ripped
up to the depth of ], 200 or 1, 500 feet, leaving
chssm through which the waters of Lake
Erie will come down, filling the Ohio and
Mississippi valleys and blotting them out
forever.
One theorist, after investigating the gas
wells with telephones and delicate ther-
mometers, distinguished sounds like the
boiling of rocks, and estimated that mile
and one-half or so beneath the Ohio and In
diana gas field the temperature of the earth
is 8, 500. We look in vain for scientist
who will give us some crumb of comfort.
Another savant says that an immense cavity
exists, where the gas is stored, and mile
below is a mass of seething, hungry flame,
which is gradually eating into the rock floor
of the cavern and thinning it. Eventually,
he predicts, the flames will reach the gas,
and an explosion of most objectional msgni-
tude Will ensue.

II have dreamed" replied the young
warrior, "of maiden whose eyes were in
color like yonder lake, and whose skin was
as beautiful as the snow at sunset"
''Do you think Of her often; more than OF
the women of the Iroquois?" asked the
White Cloud.
"Big Papoose" bowed his head, but said
nothing.
s'The time will come" continued the old
chief, when the woman with blue eyes viii
think of the young brave"
"When?" asked his listener, eagerly.
The White Cloud touched with his finger
a young oak, whose stem was not thicker
replied: when this trunk has grown that
man may stretch his arms around 1t and
yet his right hand cannot meet his left hand.
then will the young chief live in the
thoughts of the maiden with the skin like
the Hush of the sunset on the snow"
SIMILAR DREAMS.
"You speak truth" answered the big
warrior. $50, too, have dreamed"
''Tell me, continued the white prophet,
"whom do You envy of living men?"
'Not one, said the young chief.
"Whom Of the dead do you envy? per-
sisted White Cloud.
'The warriors who are dead in battle, yet
live famed in the song of the Iroquois."
"Lookr' cried the prophet. A volume of
smoke arose from the red pipe, and the old
man blew it gently toward the east. The
Iroquois saw it spread into plain, vari-
gated with hills and rivers and the villages
of his tribe; when it passed beyond the
boundaries OF his nation, he recognized the
habitations of the Algonquins; he saw their
burial places, and the stretched skins with
the accursed totems of his hereditary enc
mics; he saw, too, noble warriors, the
women, the medicine men and the children.
Then the cloud moved on, and in his
fancy he looked upon a sparkling river,
along whose banks were villages of Algon-
quin tribes, the wigwams of the Nepper-
hanas. And, in his vision, he was standing
on the brink OF gigantic cliff, whose
shadow lay midway across the sparkling
river. And as he looked his foot touched a
fragment of rock and it fell, sheer down,
from the summit of a pTecipice to its base
and touched nothing as it fell. And as his
eyes wandered up and down the sparkling
river, he saw the beautiful curves of its
shores go on their vending way TO the lake.
Then the sparkling river grew DINNER, and
its high banks faded from view, and he saw
only the blue sky and he.clouds, and far of
in the east an eagle.

SENT ON A PILGRIMAGE.

"My son." said the white-haired CHIEF,
"you have seen it. Tomorrow night loosen
the thongs of your moccasins beyond the
wigwams of the Iroquois. In the country
of the Algonquins is that wondrous cliff,
and before five suns you will see the dawn
light flooding the sparkling river. Take
with you this bag of pigments and painting
implements. On the bare rock that rests on
the summit of the high bank of the spark
ling river inscribe the totem of your tribe
and the record of your achievements. Go,
say no more"
Then the White Cloud put the tube Of
the calumet to his lips, and as the smoke
arose from the kinikinic the bowl of his red
pipe expanded wider and wider, and the
blue vapor spread out like the mist that
rises from lake on midsummer morning.
Then there came powerful wind from the
cas-, land the smoke rolled away before itand
was driven with marvellous swiftness until
it grew red under the sinking sun, and
passed to the far off hunting grounds OF the
Dakotahs. The young chief watched it
until 1t vanished, and then turned to his
companion. There was nothing near him
but the green grass and the slender oak
which the White Cloud had touched with
his finger.
Then the "Big Papoose" took the bag of
pigments to his wigwam and prepared for
his journey. Around his broad chest he
drew the folds of gorgeous hunting robe,
decorated with the many hued barbs of the
porcupine, and secured it with gaudy belt
of wampum. His leggings were fringed
with beads, shells Of various colcrs and the
hair of scalps, and his moccasins were
wrought with quills twisted with the flowers
of the prairie.
