About Sleep.

The London Lancet discusses the
subject OF rising at the end Of sleep.
Doing 1t declares is not admissible
from any reasonable or health point al
view. The brain is the first to fall
asleep, and is followed by the active or
gans, and it is only perfect and natural
when shared by all the several parts of
the organism. All the parts Of the
system are not equally exhausted, and
those least fatigued soonest wake, while
those most exhausted are aroused with
the greatest difficulty. The several
parts OF the organism should need rest
at the same time. To bring this about
q person should wake early and feel
able to rise; this fair and equal start
OF the sleepers should be secured, and
a wise s~elf-manager should not allow a
drowsy feeling of n consciousness or
weary senses of an exhausted system
to beguile him into the folly of going to
sleep again when once his conscious
ness has been aroused The writer
declares that a man..who will not allow
himself to doze, will, in a few DAYS,
find himself almost unconsciously In
sarly riser"

The blockade of Cervera may last a

At Acapulco, a Mexican town, or which

at the rate of 500 per ton IN gold, provided
he took it himself, as the company could
not deliver IT,
Accordingly, the captain took possession
OF lighter and sent the ships marine
guard TO project the coal passers. When
they arrived at the wharf Il was crowded
with natives, who attempted to prevent
the coal leaving the dock.
The marines cleared the wharf with a
bayouet charge ana then stretched a rope
across, loaded their rifles and informed
ihe natives that the first one to cross the
rope would be shot. After that 150 tons
were loaded on the ship without further
molcstatiou.
