HOURS OF SLEEP.

One of the greatest mistakes of par
ents and those who have charge of chill
dren is that they are likely to allow the
little ones too little time to sleep, says
the New York Ledger. With one
excuse and another the youngsters are
up later at night than they should be,
and as they must be off at school be-
times in the morning and there may be
duties to perform. they are called long
before they have finished their morning
nap.
Children, as rule. ought to sleep
ten or eleven hours, and to do this they
must be put to bed early enough at
night SO that they may get this amount
Of uninterrupted rest. But it is diff
cult thing to give the children the
amount of sleep they require because
there is always something going ON in
the evening that interests them-some-
one comes in, there is new paper or
book, or something is being talked Of
that they like to hear. They plead and
entreat to stay up just little longer,
and with a spirit of indulgence the
parents yield. OF course this means
but one thing-too little repose and a
curtailing of the hours of rest that
nature imperatively demands.
1t is no wonder that children are
nervous, fretful, and difficult to get
along with. Their nerves, inherited
from dyspeptic parents, are keenly alive
to every sound, and their tempers, none
the best or they would not be the chill
dren of their parents, are irritated by
being called out of bed when they so
much want to sleep. During the ear
lier years of children, whatever else
may be done, there should be ample
provision for long and undisturbed
sleep. 1t means health and strength
in later years, clear heads. good dis
positions. and well-regulated mental
ity

A SAD, SAD STORY.

An Atchison wife has had a cruel
truth told her by heartless doctor.
He said her husband would not live
long unless he gets some rest. Last
night, as she sat in an easy chair, and
watched him take off his coat on COM
ing from the Office, put on a gingham
apron and go to work cheerfully wash
ing potatoes for supper and pounding
steak, occasionally stopping to care for
the baby, her heart smote her.
She noticed that he looked thin and
careworn, and that he brought the
bucket only half full of water from the
we'll.
She spoke to him kindly, and her
heart smote her second lash when he
looked up. surprised. Was it true that
in the rusL and worry Of stirring the
country up to political truths she had
forgotten to be kind to him?
She kissed him tenderly when he
handed her cup of tea at the table,
and his eyes filled with tears; it was
so long since he had heard tender
word. She praised his biscuits; then
he broke down and cried.
The result of this tender little scene
was that this morning the woman can

signed from all COMMITTEES. She real
lied that since it would not do to hire

heavy house work, it will be better for
her to stay at home and aid him by
tender sympathy and loving words.

little tale! Speak gently to your hus.

GREAT SIERRA RANGE.

The most remarkable mountain chain

that parallels the western coast line OF
both the great continents of the Wes-

Alaska, this huge anticlinal traverses

crosses Mexico and Central America,
and then stretches onward 1880 miles.

the most colossal, fracture in the earth 8

in the extreme northern part of the
State, the great range is split in twain,
the two ranges running parallel to each
other, and to the coast also, with a
wonderful valley between them, and,

THE WASHING OF SOILS.

An illustrated bulletin of twenty odd
pages, Farmers Bulletin No. 30, has
just been published by the authority of
the Secretary of Agriculture. under
the title of Washed Soils and How to
Prevent Them" Along the banks Of
the Ohio and in many portions of the
South, there are thousands of acres,
once under cultivation, which are now
furrowed all over with gullies. like the
wrinkles of age. and abandoned to
brush and briers. All the surface of
good agricultural soil. which has ac-
cumulated by the slow decay of rocks
and the accumulation of humus for
centuries, has been washed away in q
few years, owing to the carelessness of
man. The purpose of this little treatise
is to show how to prevent this excessive
erosion and the best means of recover
ing fields which have already lost the
greater part of their tillable soil. The
method of treatment by chemical
mean which change the texture of the
soil, by cultivating and underdrain-
ing, by reforesting and by binding the
oil with grass and other vegetation.
are explained as clearly as possible in
the brief limit of this bulletin, and the
illustrations are really helpful addi-
tions to the text This bulletin ought
to be studied by every farmer who has
fields that are subject to the denuding
action of running water. and every OBJ
serving reader will find it interesting.

A TURKISH DOCTORS PRESCRIPTION.

According to Mr.. Oscanyan, who has
written an interesting book entitled,
1.-THE Sultan and His People" Turkish
physicians have very peculiar method
of adapting remedies to the cases which
come under their care. The author
relates the following incident of a
Turkish physician who was called to
see a patient suffering from typhus
fever:
1.-THE doctor considered the case hope
less, but prescribed for the patient, and
took his leave. The next day, in pass
ing, he inquired of servant at the
door if his master was dead.
Dead!' was the reply; mo, he is
much better.
The doctor fastened up-stair to OBJ
tain the solution of the miracle.
Why said the convalescent, j

bage.
Wonderfully quoth the doctor;
and out came his tablets. upon which
he made this inscription: Cured of
typhus fever. Mehemed Agha, an
upholsterer, by drinking pailful of
picked cabbage juice.
"Soon after, the doctor was called to
see another patient, yaghlikgee. OF
dealer in embroidered handekrchiefs,
who was suffering from the same
malady. He forthwith prescribed "a
pailful of picked cabbage juice. On
calling the next day to congratulate
his patient on his recovery, he was as
tonished to be told that the man was
dead. In his bewilderment at these
phenomena, he came to this safe con
clusion, and duly noted it in his mem
oranda: Although in cases of typhus
fever, picked cabbage juice is al
efficient remedy, it is not to be used
unless the patient be by profession al
upholsterer.

MAGICAL GROWTH OF PLANTS.

A French scientist. M. Ragonneau,
has just discovered how to make q
plant grow from the seed in thirty
minutes as much as it would under or
binary circumstances in as many days
Heretofore nature has shared this
secret with the Yoghis Of India. alone.
and the methods pursued by these
clever magicians in performing this
trick have been often described. They
plant q seed in the earth and cover it
with a cloth. In few moments the
cloth begins to be pushed upward by
the growing plant. which in a short
time attains the height Of several feet.
Walker Lake bulletin. (Hawthorne, Nev.) 1883-1926, 1895-01-16

Various theories have been advanced
as to the modus operandi of this mira
Gle, one of the latest being that the
spectators are all hypnotized by the
magician.
During his travels in India, M.
Ragonneau saw this trick performed
frequently and noticed that the Hin
docs always imbedded the seed in SOIL
which they brought with them espec-
tally for that purpose. At last ne
learned that they obtained this earth
from ant hills. Now, as every one
knows who has inadvertently eaten
one of these industrious insects. ants
contain large proportion OF formlc
acid, with which in time the soil OF
their habitations becomes charged.
This acid has the power of quickly
dissolving the integument surrounding
seed and of greatly stimulating the
growth of the germ within.
After a little experimenting with
this acid the learned Frenchman was
able to duplicate perfectly the Hindoc
trick. His further researches have
led him to believe that this discovery
may be profitably applied to agricul'
ture. By infusing ants in boiling
water acid as strong as vinegar can be
obtained. M. Ragonneau has achieved
the best results and most perfec
growth by using earth moistened will

thus reducing their expenses 20 per

their 900 cows and 20, 900 hens from

TIMBUCTOO UNDER FRENCH RULE.

Timbuctoo in French hands has been
much changed. There is now an armed
fort, the soldiers march through the
streets to the sound of the trumpets,
and the gates are closed at night. A
municipal government has been estab.

scavengers, so that walks in the streets
at night involve no unpleasantness.

who were picked up in raids where

of straw sheds and is very poorly sup

its three mosques and its being holy

PRESERVATION OF OUR BATTLE sH,ps

AT the close of our civil war Ad,r;r.,
farragut reported that the mon;tor
fleet, created by John Ericsson ,vsa
IN perfect working condition. The
Navy Department at that time March
1869 applied to Ericsson to know how
it could be kept in good condition.
Ericsson wrote in reply, showing how
these vessels might be tioated into an
inclosed basin at League Island. where
the water could be pumped out until il
was needed to float them again. "a
fleet laid up as propose isl he said
good for half century; all excepting
some repairs about the armor backing
engines. hulls, boilers, etc., may be
kept in perfect order, and in twenty.
four hours fifty ironclads may be trans
ferred from their dry resting place ON
the surface of League Island to the
Delaware. with stores and ammunition
ON board" For some reason no atten-
ton was paid to this suggestion, and
some time after Ericsson informed a
friend, who proposed to visit the moni-
tor fleet floating in the waters of the
Delaware, that he would find them
"a fleet of ironclads subjected to the
most rapid decay. All that rotting and
corosion can do to destroy the vessels
of which nation expects SO much in
case OF need, you will find.' he said,
lin active progress.
1t is now twenty eight years since
Ericsson gave this advice concerning
the preservation Of the monitors, and
we have had an opportunity to test Its
value in the light of experience with
different methods. We observe that
the Navy Department has finally come
to his conclusion, SO far as laying
armor-clads up in ordinary is con-
cerned. This new plan of disposing Of
armored vessels includes battle ships
and coast vessels for use only in case Of
emergency. 1t is the intention of the
department to transfer to fresh water
the battle ships now under construo-
ton, just as soon as they have been
thoroughly broken in. The place
where the ships will be laid up will
be League Island, it being the opinion
OF the Secretary that this is the most
desirable fresh water rendezvous on the
Atlantic coast. The probabilities are
that in this forthcoming annual report,
the Secretary will urge Congress to
make an appropriation for increasing
the facilities of this yard. This being
the plan. we would suggest to the Seo-
rotary that he consider Ericsson's pro-
position of generation ago in the light
of unprejudiced judgment. Army and
