SLEEPLESS NIGHTS.

Why So Many People Wake in this Morn
Ing Feeling Mare Tired Than on Re-
firing.
eeplessness is simply q rapid road to the
insane asylum. Madness with complet ly
shattered brain and nerves stares in the face
that unfortunate who passes wakeful rest
less, tossing, sleepless nights. No greater
calamity can befall a person than to become
sleepless. What wonder that t ere arc SO many
shat, cred nerves, tired brains and debilitated
bodies. when we consider the thousands upon
thousands who pass sleepleSs or disturbed nights
and rise mornings feeling indescrlbably mis-
cradle, dragged out, scarcely able to face the
days work: What wonder that so many rise
mornings from their beds, where they have lain
WITH weary lids and seepless eyes. to ssing from
side to side, nply catching short. unrefr sh-
ing maps, filled with dreams, feeling heavy
headed, irritable, with pale face, hagga-d looks,
dull and heavy-ringed eyes, and go about their
daily employment with tired linn bs, e xhnust c Il
energies, nerveless and biiionless.
Myriads of people thus allow themselves, to
drift toward the awful verge of insanity,
suicide. softening of the brain, paralysis,
idiocy, etc, without knowing or realizing the
fearful consequences Men a low care, anxiety
or business troubles to drive sleep from their
eyelids, while women with unstlu 9 nerves
and excitable temperament, pass hours upon
hours each night in seepless, restless misery.

A STATE SECRET.
H-(7ov. Foraker Tells Something new
About tho Fisheries Dispute.

CINCINNATI, Feb. 17.-1n the course
of q speech delivered at the Armory
ex-Gov. Foraker told story which has
been up to the present time State Sc
cret. The relating Of it viii cause
considerable surprise at the length TO
which what seemed an idle dispute had
gone.
MIR. Foraker stated that Gu.ing the
second year of his first adn.I9t. ation =
that is IN 1857 when the Canadian NSE-
cries dispute was at its height, he re-
ceived a letter by special service rom
the Acknowledgement of the nlled
Sta tes Army. This letter requested IN.
formation as to the exact staining OF
the militia forces of Ohio as to num-
bers, equipment and condition, The
Ad also wanted to know
how long it would take to concentrate
the militia forces of Ohio at cleveland
in proper condition for campaign duty.
Thus for the first time the general
public learns that the United States
government did not regard the threats
and the wrath OF Great Britain and
anada as entirely without serious
meaning. 1t is evident that the strain
between the british and ohe American
governments had reached danger us
point. This letter, oraker lntlmated,
was sent the Governors of all the States
The War Department wished to kno"

A Talk with Isaac Sawtelle.

BosroN, Feb. 17.-Officer Shields has
returned from the Dover IN. H. Jail,
where he had long talk with Isaac
Sawtelle. The latter, whom confronted
at last with the evidence of the crime,
broke down somewhat, and made
statement, in which, while denying
that he did the killing, he implicated
''Dr." Blood and one Ed Russell, a
Boston criminal known to the police
and suspected of completely in the
keene jewelry store robbery on Wash
ington street Isaac stoutly main
tanned that he did not know whore the
head was and that he would, If he
could, give the officers aid in finding IL.
Captain White, after hearing Officer
Shields report expressed the belief that
>awtelle was still lying and that though
the prisoner was aided and advised up
to the point of committing the crime,
he did the deed himself. Blood's pic
turc has been shown to many people
in Rochester, but no one recognizes the
man as ever having been there, whore
strangers are quickly noticed.

DEMOCRATIC AND REPUBL1CAN
SPEAKERS.

The republican party when in control
OF the house has chosen the following
speakers:
Schuyler Colfax.
James G. Blaine.
Warren Keifer.
Thomas B. Reed.
The Credit-Mobilier scandals drove
Schuyler Colfax from public life.
The rulings of Mr. Blaine in connec-
ton with certain bills before the house
cost him the presidential nomination OF
his own party three times, and helped
to defeat him when nominated.
Warren Keifer's conduct in the chair
disguised his own party, and ended his
political existence.
/. The democrats when in control Of the
house have chosen the following speak
ers:
Michael Kerr.
Samuel ]. Randall.
John G. Carlisle.
Mr. Kerr died from overwork and the
results of strict performance OF his
duty. His conduct in the chair won fol
him the honest praise of friend and
foe.
Samuel j. Randall was firm, courteous
and exceedingly jealous of the rights OF
the minority.
John G. Carlisle presided with tn,
dignity and the impartiality of judge
No man on the supreme bench was ever
freer from partisan rulings than was
Speaker Carlisle. With Carlisle in the
chair it ceased to be partisan office
and was clothed with the dignity of The
judiciary.
Mr. Reed is bent on making record
that will link his name with every deed
Of violence against the constitution, and
every scheme of corruption directed
against the treasury. His two years ir
the chair will stand as a perpetual warn
ing against putting jester in place o
such power.

Electricity in Agriculture.

The application of electricity to agri-
culture has long been discussed. There
have long stood in the way the uncer-
tainty how to apply it and the difficulty
OF ascertaining what the exact effect of
electricity on plants was. Many investi-
gators have reported greatly increased
yield. Mr.. N. Spencew, Says the Illus
trated American, described the latest ex-
perience in practical electricity.
In one series he used seeds Of haricot
beans, sunfowers and winter and spring
rye The seeds were soaked, electrified
and Immediately sown. The plants were
more developed, their leaves were larger
and their color brighter than those
grown from non-electrifed seed, but the
yield was not affected.
In another series of experiments plates
of copper and zine about two feet by two
feet and six inches were buried at the end
of the plots and connected by their upper
faces, the effect being to establish cur
rent through the earth. The result was
manifested by a large crop and by the

Jerseys, Guernseys and Attorneys.

Jersey, Guernsey and Alderney are
the names of three islands situated in
the English channel near the French
coast, and which, with a few smaller
ones, form the group known as the Chan
mel islands. The cattle Of these islands
are similar in most respects, and have
been known by the general appellation
of Channel island cattle, although when
first introduced into this country they
were all called Attorneys. They were
all more or less distinguished for their
dairy product. But while this is COM
mon and general characteristic of the
cattle of the Channel islands, those of
each Of the islands named are kept dis
tinct and no crossing is permitted;
neither are live cattle from any other
country permitted to be brought into
any Of these islands other than for inn
mediate slaughter for beef. The cattle
of the island of Jersey and those Of Al
derney resemble each other more closely,
perhaps, than those of Jersey and
Guernsey, but the points Of difference
between the cattle of all these islands
are so slight that they might with some
propriety all be classed as single breed.
The Guernseys will average more than
the Jerseys, and the Jerseys will aver
age larger than the Attorneys. There is
no special distinction between the cattle
Of these several islands in the matter of
color. Fawn color, squirrel gray, light
and dark brown, with or without white
markings, are very common. The
Guernseys and Attorneys perhaps have
larger proportion of the light fawn
and yellowish shades than the Jerseys

In third series electrical collectors
were mounted on insulated rods and con-
nected by wires, the effect being to obtain
ahighly electrified atmosphere. Seeds Of
rye, corn, oats, barley, peas, clover, pc,
totoes and fax were used. This form of
electroculture increased the yield of seed
an average of one-half, and that of straw
one-third, while the ripening was more
rapid.
It was also found that potatoes grown
by electroculture were rarely diseased,
and as the beneficial effects of electric
ity on vines attacked by phyloXera
have already been observed it is possible
that a new means is at hand of combat
ing the microscopic pests which attack
vegetable growth.

English breeds. But the Southdowns
have more than long pedigree to rec
ommend them, excelling as they do
in the quality and close texture Of
their mutton. It is claimed by English
breeders that all modern downs owe
more or less their present excellence to
having partaken of the Southdown's
blood. American breeders appear to &C
cept this claim, Judging from the con-
siderable demand there is in this country
for Southdowns to cross on Merinos as
well as other sheep.
AS popularity bred the Southdown has
short legs with broad loins, heavy quar-
ters, well sprung ribs and generally
compact frame. In the cut is shown a
fine Southdown wether, some twenty
months old, and prize winner at late
English shows.

The first two are in reach, but the third
