The Grand Inquest Of the Nation

Finds Hostetter's Stomach Bitters foremost
among tonics. This verdict would not have
been rendered had it not been perfectly
consonant with facts. The medicine is q
peerless reviver of declining strength, an
unsurm ountable check to premature de-
cay. Besides being productive of these
grand results, it overcomes dyspepsia, ma
laria and rheumatism, liver complaint and
kidney weakness. It is superb appetizer.

1nc way TO sharpen . screWdr1Vers
Tho screwdriver is found not only
In the tool chest of every mechanic, but
in most houses, and in not few offices.
1t ranks with the hammer the saw
and axe in general utility, and yet
very few people know anything about
how it should be sharpened SO as to do
Its work most efficiently; that is, with
the least expenditure of power and the
least injury to the heads of screws.
In driving a screw into the wood,
the force used to press the screw
driver against the head Of the screw
tends to aid the latter in penetrating
The wood; but when we attempt to
extract a screw. every pound of pres
sure that we apply tends to render 10
more difficult to get the screw out,
1t, therefore. becomes very important
that the screwdriver should be so
formed that it may be kept in the
nick OF the screw by the exertion OF
the very least degree of force, for If II
has any tendency to slip out we can
keep it in place only by applying
pressure in which case we run great
risk of injuring the nick and rendering
1t impossible to draw the screw.
II we examine a screwdriver in the
condition in which it is ordinarily
found. we shall find that it presents
a section in which the sides of the
wedge, in which all screwdrivers ter
inmate. are curves with the convex
sides outward. Now, the effect of
thus curving the sides of this wedge Is
so render it greatly more obtuse-
Moreover, when we turn the screw
driver. the tendency to slip out of the
nick is just in proportion to the OBJ
tuseness or bluntness of the wedge,
and. therefore, this form is the very
worst that can be chosen. In the
hands of most good workmen, there
fore, we find that the screwdriver ends
in wedge, of which the sides are
perfectly straight This is a very
good form. but it is not equal to a
form in which the sides of the wedge
are curves, but with the concave sides
turned outward. In this way we les
sen the obtuseness of the wedge at the
extreme point, and produce turn
screw which may be kept in the nick
by the least possible pressure endwise.
To grind a screwdriver into this form,
1t Is necessary to use a small grind
stone. and many of the artificial stones
found in the market answer admirably.
Most mechanics would find it to their
advantage to keep one of these small
grindstones for the purpose, and it
could be run in the lathe With very
little trouble le--Technologist

WAYS OF SLEEPING.
1uropsans Like Soft Pillows. but Eastern
Races Like Blocks.

Races Like Blocks.
Though it is true as the author Of
school composition once asserted, that
sleeping is a universal practice
among all nations, it is also true that
there is great diversity in the
methods of sleeping among people OF
different nations and different ways OF
life says the Youths Companion.
The things that one needs to make him
sleep are precisely the things which
would keep another awake all night
Even the sedative medicines which
put one person Immediately into a
heavy slumber excite another into
condition of nervous restlessness.
The European or American, in order
to sleep well. ordinarily requires
downy pillow under his head; but the
Japanese, stretching himself upon
rush-Inat on the floor, puts hard.
square block of wood under his head,
and does not sleep well if he does not
have it.
The Chinese makes great account OF
his bed. which is very low. indeed
scarcely rising from the foor-but is
often carved exquisitely of wood; but
it never occurs to him to make it any
any softer than rush-mats will render
1t.
While the people of northern coun-
tries can not sleep unless they have
plenty of room to stretch out their
legs, the inhabitants of the tropics
often curl themselves up like monkeys
at the lower angle of a suspended
hammock, and sleep soundly in that
position.
The robust American often covers
himself with pair of blankets and
throws his window wide open to the
air even in tho winter tine, and he
does not complain if he finds little
drift of snow across the top Of his bed
in the morning.
The Russian. on the contrary likes
no sleeping place so well as the top OF
the big soapstone stove in his domicile
Crawling out OF this blistering bed in
the morning he likes to take plunge
In cold stream, even if he has to
break through the ice to get into it.
The Laplander crawls head and all.
into bag made of reindeer skin and
sleeps warm and comfortable. within
it The East Indian, at the other end
OF the world. also has a sleeping bag,
but it is more porous than the Lap
lander's. Its purpose is to keep out
mosquitoes more than to keep the
sleeper warm.
While the American still clings to
his feather pillow he is steadily dis
earding his old-fashioned feather bed
in favor of the hair or straw mattress
The feather bed is relegated to the
country and many people who slept
upon it all through their childhood
find themselves uncomfortable upon il
In their maturity.
The Germans not only sleep upon q
feather bed, but underneath one. The
feather covering used in Germany,
however, is not as large or thick az
the one which is used as a mattress.
and the foreigner who undertakes to
sleep beneath it often finds his feet
suffering from cold. while his should
YRS are suffering from heat.
