THE USE OF PILLOWS.
why 1t Is Necessary and How 1t Shout
Be Done.

why 1t Is Necessary and How 1t Should
Be Done.
No mere matter of habit is the use of a
pillow. 1t has q physiological basis. We
sieep for the most part, on the side, and
without pillow the head would be uncom-
fortably and harmfully lower than the body
1t will be remembered that Jacob, when
fleeing from EsHu, took stone for pillow.
He needed something for the purpose, and
nothing better than stone presented itself.
Such practices are common In Africa at the
present day.
Some people rest the neck instead of the
head on hard pillows. In Africa eXtraordi-
nary headgears make this practice neces-
sary. and many a civilized woman has been
compelled by somewhat similar couture to
forego both the pillow and the recumbent
posture.
The consideration Of the physiological
reasons for pillows will suggest their proper
thickness. They should merely bring the
head to the natural level. Some pillows are
much too thick. BY bending the neck I'M
duly they interfere with the outflow of the
yenous blood from the head. The pillow
that just fills up the space above the shout
der best suits its end.
Again, pillows of feathers are objection
able. While they furnish the needed sup
port for the head, they are too heating, as
they have q remarkable capacity Tor holding
and accommodating heat.
1t should be remembered that more blood,
and hence more heat goes to the head than
to any other part OF thu body. Head-heating
pillows are against the wholesome maxim.
Is keep the feet warm, but the head cool"
There is nothing better than the hair pill
lows
Further, the pillow is for the head, not
for the shoulders. To rest the shoulders on
the pillow defeats the very end for which it
is used.
Finally, special care should be taken Of
infants in this matter We have seen their
heads sunken deep into the softest and
thickest of pillows, and their faces, as a
natural consequence, covered with great
beads of perspiration. 1t is no wonder that
children so treated die. - Youths Com

American Negroes Own Slaves.

George B. Parks of Atlanta, Ga, with his
wife and seven children arrived in New
ored man and a carpenter. On May 22d.
lured by the promises Of the Society for the
Promotion of Colonization in Liberia, he sci
sail with his family for that place.
Parks landed in Monrovia and found the
country in most primitive and dcbauched
condition. The American negroes already
emigrated there had assumed tyrannical
rule over the natives. No part OF the ground
was under cultivation.
Parks he says the condition OF slavery In
Liberia is much worse than that in Georgia
"befo de wah." Children offer themselves
for sale. Parks was ostracised by the other
ex-Amercan negroes because lie would not
buy slaves.
Parks staid just twenty one days and then
sailed on C steamer for Hamburg. 1t cost
him $3.50 to get away. When he left Georgia
he had $3.50, aud he has now $50, which
will ray his way back to Atlanta.-N. Y.

The Goose Hangs High.

The other day some gentlemen we're chat
ting in one of the public offices of the city,
when one of the party, in reply to ques-
ton as to how crops looked in Brandywine,
answered:
Everything is lovely and the goose hangs
high" :,
"Are you aware" Immediately rejoined
an official, "that you are msquotng that
little saying? l know that is the common
way OF saying II. But still it is wrong, and
you may just as well quote 1t correctly as
not.
"You should say. Everything is lovely
and the goose honks high By careless or
Ignorant usuags very pretty saying has
been vulgarized. 1t arose in this way. You
probably have noticed In clear mornings in
springt me, just when the season is break
ing and migratory birds are flying north,
that flocks Of geese as they pass high over
head emit a peculiar cry, which is exactly
rendered by the words 'honk, honk, honk!
ut is that bird note which is meant in the
saying, for usually when the distant cry is
heard it is beautiful still morning, the sky
is very high overhead. and the whole sur
roundings are indicative to the countryman
of fine day, and therefore, everything is
lovely for field and farm work, and the far
mer is happy."-Wilmington Elk.

A CURIOUS PHENOMENON.
A Stroke of Lightning Bleaches a Strip
in Granite Monument.

Stroke of Lightning BIeaches a Stripe
I'm n Granite Monument.
During one of the recent storms that
ragged through the country remarkable
freak was played by electricity. The light
ming struck tall monument Of granite and
following the shaft TO the second base or
plinth, decolorized a portion Of the stone in
a stripe about three-quarter5 Of an inch in
width.
The monument stands upon an eminence
in Woodward Hill Cemetery. Lancaster.
Pa, and is one Of the most striking features
of that beautiful spot. Formed of Barry
granite 1t rose to the majestic height of 40
feet. The shaft, single stone of granite.
is 30 feet in length, and is probably the
largest single-stone shaft in the State. The
total weight of the monument is sixty tons,
and the shaft alone weighs twenty tons.
1t was erected upon the plat of ground be-
longing to the Grub family and on the
polished die is the Inscription. The cap is
0rnamented with graceful monogram of
the family. The lightning struck the arras
or angle within foot of the pyramidal top
and then passed down the monument in a
zigzag line, bleaching the stone rs it went
till it reached the plinth or second base
where it stopped. and all vestige of 1t
ceased. The decolorized stripe is about
three quarters of an inch in width, and Is
extremely regular from emu 10 END. In
passing through the cap it devated slightly
from its course and passed the monogram
very closely, but leaving it unnjured.
The most peculiar part of this electrical
freak is that the stone Is perfectly sound,
and no sign of crack or burn exists any
where upon its surface. Though the black
mica distributed through the rock is en-
tirely bleached there is no sign of fusion
having taken place, and the quartz and
feldspar (he other ingredients of the
GRANTEE are in their natural condition.

GLUE IN SURGERY.
Its Use In Holding Dressings Over
Fractures.

Its Use In Holding Dressings Over
In some Of the surgical clinics In Ger
many there Is now employed glue for
holding dressings In place-desIgned to be
used in all those cases where elastic COL
lodion and solutions of rubber are found so
convenient, especially in holding dressings
over fractures, while at the same time per-
uniting free motion OF the parts. 1t has the
advantage Of not cracking or breaking, OF
holding firmly, OF being very pliable, allow
Ing great amount Of motion. and, lastly,
of not preventing the exercise Of the func-
ton Of the skin over which it Is placed, so
that there does not occur any perling

A Tramp's Queer Pocket-oompanion.

A dilapidated looking man reclined on the
eastern edge OF the grassy border Of Madi-
s0n-square Park. About him was group
Of children, and passer-by stepped up to
see the cause Of the gathering.
Under cover OF the mans coat a white
rabbit was contentedly nibbllng the young
grass while his ragged owner devoured a
piece of bread, occasional crumbs Of which
fell to his long-eared companion.

When the crowd of children grew larger

STAMM Il RING.
Remedy for This Trouble Said to Be
Very Valuable,


Very Valuable,
Draw long breath so as to fill the lungs
to their utmost extent. Divide the sentence
you wish to speak into syllables, marking
time for each syllable by bringing the index
finger and thumb of the right hand together,
or marking time with tho foot. Now, here
is a specimen: "Pass-me-ths-b bread. Good
morning madam-how-dO -you-feel -this-mor-
ning?" Those syllable exercises must be
practiced for at least one month, then cure
should be accomplished II the patient has
no deformity of the throat or larynx and if
the front teeth are sound.
There is nothing easier than this cure; it
is simply to speak in syllables for one
month and is within the easy reach of every
b0dy-man, woman or child.
Very few women or girls stammer and
they are the easiest to cure. l advise all
parents to try and cure their children when
they are young if they stutter and thus save
them life of misery This cure was given
in the Old Household ten years ago. Read
ing with the mouth shut will never cure
stammering. Speaking in syllables is the
cure OF DR.. Colombat of Paris, who cured
thousands and made fortune.
