Tne Best Position For Healthy sleep.

A doctor. writing in a medical paper
says: can immense number of people
uleep on the left side, and this is the most
rommon cause of the unpleasant taste in
she mouth in the morning, which is gen
orally attributed to dyspepsia. Ii meal
has been taken within two or three
hours Of going to bed, to sleep on the
left side is to give the stomach task
which is difficult in the extreme to per-
form. The student Of anatomy knows
that all food enters and leaves the stom-
ach on the right side, and hence sleeping
on the left side soon after eating involves
q sort of pumping operation, which is
anything but conducive to socnd repose.
The action of the heart is also interfered
with considerably, and the lungs are I'M
duly compressed. 1t is probable that ly-
ing on the back is the most natural po-
Igition, but few men can rest easily so,
and hence it is best to cultivate the habit
of sleeping on the right SIDE"

Caused BIZ Fire on Munjoy Hill and a
False Alarm.

The alarm from box q Saturday even
ing was caused by fire in Mr.. o. G.
Curtis's house, 20 Eastern promenade.
Mr.. Curtis made wood fire in the open
CRATE in the lower part of the house, put
up the blower and left it. The draft
caused such an intense heat the wood
work of the fire place caught and
the flames ran up between the walls and
ceiling. No. responded to the alarm
promptly and the chemical got a stream
on, but there were several rooms Quilted,
a hole made in the roof and furniture
badly damaged. Mr.. Curtis estimates
the loss on the house at 81, 800 and $500
on the furniture. He had 800 insur-
ance with Dow 6 Pinkham and $1,000
on the furniture with VIM. Allen, Jr.
After the alarm was pulled and one
round had been given, the box move
ment did not lock, and four alarms were
given sending everything to the hill.
When part of the department. reached
the hill it was stopped, and then some
body said the Maine General Hospital
was afire, mistake due to brush fire
out of town in that direction. Some of
the department had long. hard pull
thither. Electrician Mason cut the cir
cult of box 81 and stopped the alarm.

also a man eminent for talents and
fortune:
"Yes, there is grand invitation at
such a place tonight, but l don't go
because l am not a gentleman; and the
master desired would let you know
that it was for no other reason that
you had not card, too, my good
friend for it is an invitation for none
but people of fashion, you see."
At all this no one stares, no one
laughs; and it is accepted as the proper
thing.

Not q Lost Art.

Archeologists and antiquarians in
their writings frequently refer to the
manufacture of flint arrow-heads, etc,
as "a lost art" that is great mistake.
The art is probably lost to the Indians
because they have no use for it. The
stone implements have given place to
those of iron and steel, and the rife
and revolver have supplanted the flint.

ing them is not lost, however, There

The Sherman Act Repeal Bill Intoducet
in the House.

in the House.
WASHINGTON Aug. 12--In the house,
Friday morning, Mr.. Wilson dem, w.
Va) introduced the repeal bill i'm
mediately after the reading of the
journal.
Representative Bland offered the
agreement made Friday morning gov
erning the course of debate. 1t limits
debate to fourteen days, session con-
tinuing from II a. m. to 5 p. M, and
with night sessions for debate only if
desired.
The vote first TO be taken on the bill
to be presented as a substitute for the
Wilson bill, providing for free coinage
at the ratio of l6 to /. If that fails,
then at ratios running from II to up
to 20 to l. If they all fail, then on the
revival of the Bland-Alllson act of 1878,
and then on the original measure.
The substitute bill of the free coin
age caucus was called for, and presented
by Mr.. Bland.
Mr.. Bland demanded the previous
question on his order, but this was an
tagonized by the republicans under the
leadership of Mr. Cannon. who wanted
time to debate the question.
Under the ruling of the speaker, in
the absence of rules or agreement, or
dering the previous question would cut
off debate. By the opera ton of voting
by tellers. Mr.. Cannon secured sufficient
support to secure vote by yeas and
nays, and at 1888 the calling of the roll
began.
| The vote resulted: Yeas. 217; nays,
100. So the previous question was or
dered. The republicans generally voted
with the democrats in support of the
motion.
The resolution was then adopted.
! At LOS Mr.. Raynor dem, Md be-
gan the debate in support of the Wilson
bill for the unconditional repeal of the
silver purchasing clause.
Mr.. Raynor said that the adoption of
the policy of free silver coinage would
tie the United States to the tail of any
bankrupt nation in the world.
The opening of the mints to silver
might, for time, he said, MAINTAIN the
fictitious value of the coin, but the
value of the bullion would always be
regulated by the market price.
As long as the Sherman silver act re-
mains on the statue book, so long will
it be impossible to effect an interna-
tional arrangement; so long will none
tary conferences result in failure.

About Bacteria.

Bacteria are simply microscopic
plants of varying size and shapes, some
of them being SO small that fifteen
thousand laid end to end would not
make row more than an inch in length.
Some are fat, others round or oval,
and still others are rod shaped. The
oldest form of all is that of the one
that is the exact counterpart of cork
screw. In all cases they are SO minute
that one needs a powerful microscope
In order to study them and in I'd case

/, IN THE ANDES.
Two Glorious Scenes Bring Out GLOW
of Enthusiasm.


A traveller in the heart of the Andes
tells, in Tropical America" how he
relieved his feelings when, having
assembled the Paramillos, he found
himself at the summit, nine thousand
feet above the sea level.
The scenery had increased in gran
deur every hour since daybreak, and
now two magnificent spectacles were
to be enjoyed. The first was a broad
view of the Cuyo valley, southwark
and eastward, with Mendoza, its shad-
ed streets, its plazas and it's suburban
farms and vineyards directly below us
and so near that with a glass streets
and houses could be identified.
The second was an inspiring glimpse
of the main Andean chain, now sud-
denly towering thousands of feet
above us in the west Tupungato, in
solemn majesty, looked down upon us
from the clouds.
Then with sharp turn in the bridle-
path hundred snow-clads were re-
vealed at once. 1t was spectacle to
fire the blood. had no companion in
sympathy with my enthusiasm, but
the Chilean guide at least had ears to
hear compliments showered upon his
native mountains. Leaping from the
mule shouted:
"Magnifico Magnifco!"
Then feeling the inadequacy of the
unfamiliar Spanish tongue for express
ing genuine Yankee feeling, l added:
Hail Columbia! Glory Hallelujah!'
A flush of patriotic pride illuminated
the Chileans face. and he repeated:
"Magnifco!'
There we stood in rapture, gazing
at the Andean kings, with their snowy
ermine falling from their stately
shoulders.
