How We Go 10 sleep.

Now physicians and psychologists
come TO the front with the astounding
statement that man goes 30 sleep
piecemeal instead OF altogether and
simultaneously, as it were. Thst is,
the senses do not lull themselves
unitedly and at once into a state OF
slumbor, but cease TO receive impress
sions gradually, one after the other.
AT first the sight ceases and next the
sense of taste loses its susceptibility
to outward impression.
Even then, tho individual being al
most in state of Inconsistencies,
three senses still remain in q condi-
ton of activity smelling, hearing
and thought. Gradually the sense of
smelling goes, then hearing and fual-
ly, with the lapse of thought, the GU
tire body becomes completely asleep.
The Psychologists have gone even
further than this, and they say that
the senses sleep with different degrees
of profoundness. The sense of touch
is the most easy to arouse, next that
of hearing, then sight and taste and
smelling last.
Sleep steals on the body gradually,
certain parts of muscles beginning TO
sleep before others. Slumber com.
mences at the extremeties, beginning
with the feet and legs. That is why it
is always necessary to keep the feet

GREEN TOMATO PICKLES,

Take n gallon Of green tomatoes,
gathered on dry day, and carefully
remove the outer skin, sliding the
peeled fruit. For this quantity, take
two and half tablespoonfuls OF
ground mustard, a gill of mustard
seed, o tablespoonful of powdered
cinnamon, half pound of brown su'
gar, two teaspoonfuls of cloves and
three pints of vinegar, Divide the
spices into three equal parts, and put
into three small muslih bags. Take
half the quantity of vinegar, and in it
boil the spices for half an hour. Then
put in the sugar and stir till thor.
oughly melted. Now place third of
the sliced tomatoes at the bottom of n
jar, put in one of the spice bags, and
pour third of the boiled vinegar
over. Then another third of tomato,
bag and vinegar, till all are arranged.
Then fill the jar with the cold vinegar
till the pickle is covered, using more
than tho three pints if necessary.
Cover securely and set away for ut
least Il month before using. "A softer
pickle is made if the sliced tomatoes
are boiled with the other ingredients,
but at the sacrifice Of some of tho
flavor; if this course be pursued a
small quantity of celery seed may bo
added. Boston Cultivator.

A Row Among tho Crocoliles,

Crocodiles are very apathotic, and

snap, closed his iron jaws on the up.

suing battle the locked jaw broke in
the middle. The assailant swallowed
the fragment, teeth and all. This
ended the unpleasantness: both at
once assumed their former listless at.

presents horrible sight; part of its
tongue and the front half of the lower
jar, bristling with teeth, are exposed
TO view. But the manned beast shows
no sign of suffering, not even sign
of the proverbial crocodile's tears.

NOVEL METHOD OF TREATING pRuNkA

The way that the authorities treat open
drunkenness in Denmark seems to us in
America somewhat unique. because in this
country the burden of the expense and the
odium is borno by the drunkard's poor wife
and family. In Denmark, however, the
police have invented rather peculiar, but
effective. method of treating excesses by
habitual drunkards. Any inebriate found in
the street is hustled into cab. taken to the
police station and locked up until he has
grown sober. Then he Is taken to his home
In cab by the police. Next bin is made
out for the repeated transportation Of the
tippler and presented to tho saloon-kceper
who sold the offending drunkard the last
glass Of beer, wine or liquor. This bill Is
sometimes quite considerable. OF course, all
