POSITION FOR SLEEP.
From a Lecture by j. II. kellogg, NJ. d.,
of Battle Creek Sanitarlum.

Tho best position for sleep is as near
horizontal one as possible. With per-
sons who have tendency to hyperemia
of the brain, it is better to sleep with
the head somewhat raised. On the other
hand, in anaemic conditions, where the
blood supply is insufficient and the
brain with the rest of the body, suffers
from lack of proper nutriment, it is the
best plan to sleep with the head a little
lower than the feet. My attention was
first called to this some years since by
seeing half starved Italian beggar boys
sleeping on the hlllsides 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
desirable-a position which to one very
full of blood would be almost sure to in
duce congestion of the brain. Over
taxed students or nurses who sometimes
fall asleep in their chairs do not awaken
with normal feeling of refreshment, for
the brain has not had fair chance to
recuperate. To sleep with the head
high on bolster is very perincious, not
not only that it robs the brain, but it
tends to make the shoulders round and
the spine curved. 1t is better to slee D
without any pillow at all. AS to further
position, assume that which is the most
comfortable individually. Probably a
little inclination to the right side is the
most normal position, especially if one
goes to bed before the stomach is en-
tirely empty since the pyloric opening
is on that side.
AS to sleeping with the head to the
north which some advocate in order to
be in line with the magnetic currents,
there is nothing in it. The 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 line with the
currents

MAKING FALSE EYES.
An Opticians Interesting Chat About
Growing Industry.

AN Opticihu IhtereStuS SnaC u
Growing Industry.
1t is fact that the trade in artificial
eyes is considerably on the increase.
Opticians account for it in several ways
the increased number of mechanics
who work at trades where there is
constant menace to the eyes, as stone
cutters, instrument makers and iron
founders, and the remarkable difference
in price as compared with former years.
Artificial eyes which formerly cost from
$50 to 500 now cost from SIS to $50.
The fitting of artificial eyes has also
been very much perfected-so much so,
in fact, that instead of being the I'M
slightly, staring things of years ago, tho
properly matched and fitted eye of to-
day is extremely hard of detection.
Mr.. NJ Zineman, who has just re.
turned from three months trip to
Europe to look into the artificial eye in
dustry there, gave an interesting &C.
count of the manufacture of that article.
There is general impression" said
Mr.. Zineman, that the artificial eye is
round glass ball, like a marble. 1t is
not, but an oval-shaped cup, which fits
into the socket of the eye and is hold in
place by the upper or lower lids. You
can form some idea of the enormous
stock carried and the difficulty expert
enced in properly matching and fitting
when tell you that there are probably
no two eyes of exactly. the same shape
and shade in the world.
NEARLY, if not all, the arti fetal eyes
are made in the district of Thuringia,
in Germany, and the inhabitants of en-
tire villages, men, women and children,
assist in their manufacture. -Four men
usually sit at table, each with gas
jet in front of him, and the eyes are
blown from glass plates and nodded into
shape by hand. The colors are then
traced in with small needless no set rule
being observed in the coloring, and as
every man uses his own fancy no two
artificial eyes, therefore, are exactly
alike. The eyes are then sorted into
lots, according to color, all the different
shades of blue, gray and black, right
and left, comprising the different pack
ages. In spite of this enormous assort-
ment, we often meet with peculiar
shades in eyes, for which perfect mates
must be specially manufactured.
"Of course, it is with artificial eyes as
with artificial teeth and other like aids to
physical beauty, their wear is the direct
result Of vanity; but when it is taken into
consideration the wonderful improve
ment perfectly fitted and matched eye
is compared to the disfgured and sight
less member, it will at once be apparent
how pardonable this vanity is.
GAS regards spectacles and eyeglasses
in this country and Europe, there is no
chance of comparison. The goods
manufactured here are jewels compared
with the product of the other side,
which look more like a lot of hardware
than articles made for comfort and con-
venience. "-Philadelphia Inq uirer.

A NARROW ESCAPE
Claimed by an Hysterical Young Woman
as Her Husband.


A well-known young bank clerk, who
resides not thousand miles from Wall
nut and Twenty-second streets, had a
fright yesterday that will cost him sew
eral years growth. He left the bank
at the usual hour and arrived home as
the family were sitting down to dinner.
just as he was about to take his place
at the table the door was thrown open
and young and handsome woman,
neatly attired and lady-like in appear
ance, burst into the room and rushing
forward, threw her arms about the
young mans neck, crying Historically:
'My husband! l have found you at
lastr' -
The young man gasped for breath and
would have fallen but for the support
of a convenient chair. His father, mother
and sister looked on in horror-struck
amaze. For few moments a chaotic
silence brooded over the tableau, punctu.
ated only by the strange young woman
sobs deep down in the young mans
waistcoat. Pater familas rapidly ar
rived at the conclusion that his son had
either married the young woman and
deserted her, or ought to marry right
away, but before he could put mis- ideas
into sentences, the young man found
his tongue and pitifully protested that
he didn't know any thing about it; in
seed no didn't. Whereat the young
woman chung closer and sobbed more
wildly, emphatically announcing the
trrli 10 fhaf h. /, |,
she would not give him up--no, never!
Then she became further excited and at
tempted to remove the young man from
the room bodily, vie ct arms.
But here parental authority came to
the rescue and interposed, and after a
short, sharp struggle the young man
was delivered from his tormentor's
arms. They were separated by the
width of the room and explanations de-
manded. At first the young woman de-
clared that the bank clerk was her own
and only husband. But gradually, as
her eyes cleared of tears she began to
detect certain features not entirely in
consonance with those of her lost hus-
band, and she finally confessed that this
was not he. In explanation of the
dramatic incident she stated that her
husband had been from home for three
days, and that while looking for him
down town she saw the young man afore-
mentioned, and installing him for her
husband, she had tracked him to his lair
and cast herself upon his bosom without
further ado. She offered profuse apollo
gies, but positively refused to divulge
her identity or any other fact in her
singular case.
1t was narrow escape for the young
bank clerk, however, and now whenever
any good looking young female displays
more than the most casual interest in
him he shys violently.-St. Louis Re-
nnhlir

HINTS FOR COLLECTORS.
More Particularly for Those Who Do Not
Have Too Much Money.

Have Too Much Money.
A few hints Of general character NAV
be useful to the collector whose knowl-
edge has not yet been bought in the
market of practical experience. Let
him avoid, in the first place, servile
following of the fashion. Let him avoid
giving an eXtravagant price for any
thing. The shortness of his purse is
often an actual protection to the col
lector. 1t makes him use his wits and
gain that knowledge which his wealthy
competitor never attains to. Take
pictures, for example; the rich buyer
fills his gallery with what he is pleased
to consider masterpieces of art. He be-
gins in ignorance, and the dealers-the
whole crowd of those whose business it
is to minister to his vanity and extract
his gold-take care that he shall never
learn more than they choose to teach
him. When he dies he leaves his col
lection to the nation, in the firm conf
dence that the buildings in Trafalgar
Square will be forthwith enlarged to &C.
commodate SO priceless a treasure in its
entirety. There would be little rest for
his troubled spirit could he learn that
the trustees have selected three or four
works out of many hundred as alone
worthy Of place in the national collec-
ton.
The poorer collector, having devel-
oped faculty which stands him in the
stead of gold, builds up his fabric in q
more humble and tentative fashion.
Recognizing that great works of grea t
men are not for him, refusing to look at
Raphaels or Correggios at any price, he
secures good works by unknown men,
contenting himself with slight sketches
studies and unconsidered trifles from
the studios of artists whose reputation
is established. Such works give him
nearly all the qualification that can be
derived from pictures, and, viewed as
investments, have a constant tendency,
as the auctioneer says when he tries to
elicit bid for some atrocious daub, to
grow into money."-Blackwood Mag
azine.

TEXAS NATURAL WALL.
A Freak of Nature That Has Been the
Subject of Much Speculation.

A Freak of Nature That Has Been the
Subject of Much Speculation.
There is in the northern part Of
Texas, near the Bots Arc, or East Fork
of the Trinity, freak of nature that
has been the subject of much specula-
ton ever since its discovery, over forty
years ago. Extending in northwest
and southeasterly direction for several
miles is perpendicular seam or wall of
coarse limestone, composed of frag-
ments, irregular in size, yet very SINH
lar in shape. The seam Tor wall, as it
is called) is about two feet in width
everywhere it is seen, and the stones of
which it is composed are distributed on
top of one another, almost with the
regularity of masonry-at least as we'll
as many ancient builders constructed
their walls. 1t is for the most part
under the earth, but appears in hillsides
and ravines, whore the external forces
of nature have worn away the soil, leav-
ing the natural wall exposed. Old set
tiers say that some sections several
hundred feet in length appeared as
much as three feet in height when they
first went there, and hence they
named their first town Rockwell, which
name is also borne by the county in which
the wall is found. From the fact that
no other stone was found in the immedi-
ate vicinity, these pioneers unanimous
ly agreed that the wall was the work of
some prehistoric people VINO inhabited
the country; but as it's mere resemblance
TO ho Of io hot
this theory, it has long since been given
up for the scientific explanation of it's
origin. The presence of quartz, lava and
other conglomerate rocks of igneaus
origin, betrays the action of volcanic
forces in it's formation. Some mighty
internal CONFUSION rent the earth's sur
face and left a long straight fissure.
which was filled by the same agency
with fragments of underlying strata of
limestone. In some portions where the
wall was sufficiently compact, it has
stood alone, while air and water have
worn away the surrounding earth. Thus
it is found at intervals, keeping one
direction, straight as surveyors
line for about six miles, uniform in
width, and always composed of stones
resembling an elongated brick, some
larger and others smaller.
Years ago an inquiring well-digger
sunk his spade beside the wall. He fol-
lowed it down thirty feet and found
abundant water, but not the base of the
wall. So we may concede the work to

past age, remote and dim, pushed up
the wall from beneath to serve as q

ANGEL AND CHILD.
Beside a cradle for a space

Beside cradle for space
An angel paused, and bent to look,
And seemed to see his own pure face
As in the mirror OF brook.
"Dear child, that so resemblest me-"
He sweetly said, 'ah, come awayl
Together We shall happy be,
Thou art too good on earth to stay.
There is no perfect bliss below,
For even pleasure has its sting;
Each song Of gladness chords Of woe,
Each joy Its sigh of suffering!
~Oh, then, must trouble and must fears
Impair the beauty of thy brow?
Must sorrow dim with bitter tears
Those eyes, where Heaven Is shining now
" No! mol The fiowery ARMAMENT,
The fields of glory for US wait;
Tow'rd thee doth Providence relent
And saves thee from an earthly fate.
"Let none wear mourning in thy home,
For all should be as glad, dear child,
This day that bids thy spirit roam
AS when thy blue eyes earliest smiled.
"Let no face there show sorrows sign;
Let no one deck the house for death,
For when the soul is white as thine,
The latest is the happiest breath"'
And speaking thus, the angel wide
His snowy pinions waved and fed
To where the pure for aye abide.
Poor mother, see! Thy babe is deadi

A RUNAWAY BELLE.
The Crew of Barkentine Demoralized
by Pretty Samoan Girl.


The barkentine Malay, owned by
Nick Richards of this city, was recently
the scene of little romance, the de-
tails OF which have been received in this
city from the officers of the vessel. The
Malay is expected here in a few days.
Previous 10 going north she departed
from this city for Tongatobee, port in
the Samoan Islands.
After discharging her cargo she
loaded with ballast and set sail for the
north. When the vessel was three days
out superstitious sailor approached
the captain with fear and trembling.
He said that he had heard some unearthly
noise seemed to proceed from the hold
of the ship. He wildly described it as
similar to the groans of some suffering
spirit confined in the lower regions.
Hardly crediting the story, but
rather with a view to squash it
before it spread among the crew,
the captain, backed by his entire
crew, lifted up the hatch. The I'M
earthly noise was again heard, and with
greater distinctness, and the investi-
gators we're thoroughly frightened The
captain peered through the semi-dark-
ness and saw, to his establishment, a
Samoan girl arrayed in the restrictive
dress of her country. She was lying in
the hold, sleeping soundly and snoring
loudly. With foreboding that he had
an elephant on his hands, the captain
reused the dusky sleeper. She did not
appear startled in the least but COM
planned of being hungry. Every sailor
on the ship offered to share hi mess
with her, and an intense rivalry the
possession of her affections at en-
sued.
The stowaway could speak little
English. She managed to say that
she had deliberately secreted herself in
the hold. She wanted to see the world,
and she begged not to be taken back.
The captain was between two fires. To
return her to her home would cause a
loss of weeks time; to allow her to re-
main on board was to risk insubordina-
ton on the Malay. He chose the latter
course, however, and the dusky islander
accompanied him to Port Moody. On
the way she had a half dozen offers of
marriage, all of which she politely re-
fused with occurrences that would
have created envy in the heart of an
American fiirt. When the Malay arrived
at Vancouver the Samoan beauty was
takeu ashore and put into service with
family residing there.-San Francisco
