How to Sleep Comfortably.

NJ. \. Farct. French scientist, has
undertaken to teach us how to sleep,
says the New York American. He has
experimental scientifically in the art
of sleeping comfortably. AS result
he advises the abolition of the pillow
and the bolster. The only natural po-
eitiOn fer one to assume while sleeping
is the horizontal. First one must get
used to sleeping without Il bolster. The
next step, he says, is to remove the pill
low. for not until then will the crcu-
latiDn OF the blood be as free as ii
should be. In further explanation he
says that the pillow and bolster keep
the head and neck at an abnormal an
gle and that consequently the sleepers
entire body remains during the night
in an uncomfortable position. and one
which impedcs the free course Of the
blood through the vessels and organs.

LOST LETTERS.

The annual report Of the dead letter office is always q reminder to the
 American people of the great carles5-
 ness they show in conducting their correspondence. Perhaps it would not be just to say that their careIessness is greater in this business than in others, for it may be true that they are just as careless in other matters as in this. but the fact is not brought home to them by such a massing of items. An average of 213 letters and parcels with out any address whatever are received at the dead letter office daily. More than half of them contain money. Last year the office received 240,255 letters containing poStage stamps Besides these almost s6,O0O worth of postage stamps was received that bfd been found loose in the mall bags The dead letter office Goes what II cIr to cor rect the carelessness of the people, but it cannot do compete. wo-k because Ictters which had no address, or q wrong address. on the outSida. often have no addres on the inside Whicn enables them to be returned to the writ CTS.

 According to Secretary Wilson's re- port the farmers have aided the gov rn- ment ve;V materially. Dt-cussing the balance Of trade, the secretary says that the favorable balance of trade to the credit Of this country is due entire !, to the farmers. The balance O. trade Tn farm products during the last fourteen years, no year excepted, ag- greCated S4,SO6, O00, O00 in products. oh CT than farm products during the same period, the balance of trade was ad verse to this country to the extent O. $S65. eco, 900. Our farmers not only can celled this immense obligation, but nation when the hooks of the interna- tionol exchanges were balanced. He concludes that t is the farmers that have paid the foreign bondholders. Now, why should not the government aid the farmers in the construction of roads? It is shown by careful estimat s that it costs $500, ,OO0, coo to haul the pro- ducts of the farm to railway stations, rivers and canals, which is vastly more than it costs to maintain 100000 mils s of railway, and by careful estimates the cost could be reduced one-half. There is no doubt that on some roads It could be reduced much more"
