POSITION EOR SLEEP.
From n lecture by ~. II. Kellogg, NJ. %.
OF Isnttlo Crnek Saniinriun

from lecture by ~. III. Kellogg, NJ. D.,
OF Rattle Creek Sanitnrium.
The best position for sleep is as near
horizontal one as possible. With per-
sons who have tendency to hypercmia
of the brain, it is better to sleep with
tho head somewhat raised. On the other
hand, III anaemic conditions, where tho
blood supply is insufficient and tho
brain with the rest of the body, suffers
from lack OF proper nutriment, it is tho
bost plan to sleep with tho head little
lower than tho feet My attention was
first called to this somc years since by
seeing half starved Italian bcggar boys
sleeping on the hlllsidcs around Naples
with their heads downward Their in
buttons had led them to adopt the posi-
ton for sleep which the low nu-
tritive tone OF their systems made most
dcsirable-a position which to one very
full of blood would be almost sure to in
Guce congestion of the BRAIN Over
taxed students or nurses who sometimes
fall asleep in their chairs do not awaken
with normal feeling OF refreshments for
the brain has not had Il fair chance to
recuperatc. TO sleep with tho head
high on n bolster is very porincious. not
not only that it robs the BRAIN but it
tends to make the shoulders round and
tho spino curved. 1t is bcttor to slec D
without anypillow at all. AS to further
position, assume that which is the most
comfortable Individually. Probably q
little inclination 10 the right side is tho
most normal position, especially if ono
goes to bed before the stomach is en-
tirely empty since tho pyloric opening
is on that side.
AS to sleeping with the head to tho
north which some advocate in order to
be in line with the magnetic currents,
there is nothing in it. Tho magnetic
north pole is several degrees away from
the geographical north pole, therefore
those who attempt to carry out this
theory fail in getting in limo with the
currents.

fills his gallery with what he is pleased
to consider masterpieces of art. He bo-
gins in ignorance, and tho dealers-the
whole crowd Of those whose business it
is TO minister to his vanity and extract
his gold-take care that he shall ncyor
learn more than they choose to teach
him. When he dies he leaves his col
lection to tho nation, in the firm conf
dcnce that the buildings in Trafalgar

his troubled spirit could he learn that
the trustees have selected three or four
works out of many hundred as alone
