EATING WIrHoUT AN APPETITE.-Dr.

Juice in the stomach, and that nature does
not need food and not needing it, there
being no fluid to receive and act upon it,
il remains there only to putreiy, the very
thought Of which should be sufficient to
deter any man from eating without an
appetite for the remainder Of his life II
a tonic is taken to whit the appetite IT
is a mistaken course, for its only result is
to cause one to eat more, when already
an amount has been eaten beyond what
the gastric is able to prepare. The oh
iect to be obtained is large- supply OF
gastric juice, not larger supply OF food


and whatever fails to accomplish that
essential object fails to have any efficiency
toward the cure Of dyspeptic disease.
The formation Of gastric juices is directly
proportioned to the wear and tear Of the
system, which it is to be the means OF
supplying, and this wear and tear can
only take place as the result OF exercise.

How LONG SHALL We SLEEP ?-The fact
is that as long as life becomes concentrated, ,and
its pursuits more eager, short sleep and early
rising become impossible. We take more
sleep than our ancestors; we take more because
We want more. Six hours's sleep will do very
we'll for plowmau or bricklayer, or any
other man who has no exhaustion but that pro-
duced by manual labor, and the sooner he
takes it after his labor is over the better. But
for man whose labor is mental, the stress of
work is on his brain and nervous system, and
for him who is tired in the evening with day
ofmental application neither early to bed nor
early to rise is wholesome. He needs letting
down to the level of repose. The longer the
interval between the active use of the brain and
his retirement to bed, the better his chance for
sleep and relreshment. To him an hour after
midnight is probably as good as two hours be-
fore it, and even then his sleep will not SO com
pletely and quickly restore him as it will his
ueighbor who is physically tired. He must not
ouly 20 to bed later, but lie longer. His best
sleep probably lies in the early morning hours,

RUST IN WHEAT An old and very intei-
gent farmer OF Rockingham county, who has
paid great deal of attention to everything re-
iatiug to his profession, has given US the follow
ing Information as to the origin Of that dread of
the husbandmen, rust in wheat. He says there are
two kinds ofrust, the red rust and the black rust.
The red rust is not injurious TO the wheat, and
is always caused by showers of rain and sun-
shine. The black rust, however, is very ipju-
rious and is caused by the fall of the honey
dew followed by subsequent rains, But for
the rain the honey dow would not be so harm
tul; but the immediately succeeding rains make
the black rust very hurtful. Our informant
says, in support of this part of his theory. that
last year there was no honey dew and the wheat
was entirely free from black rust. The honey
bees, however, were the sufferers, because ofthe
absence Of the honey dew; for the friend who
gave Us this isinformation states that be lost four
stands ofbees in consequence ofthe absence of
the honey dew, and one of his neighbors also lost
an equal number of stands of bees. .-Rocktng.

Through tie aid of the imagination men
gain much mt:re comprehensive and satisfy
ing views of: the invisible God than they
could get of him through the senses If he
were visible before them. 1dolatry, the wor-
ship OF visible God, has always been bad,
whether the ilol was in the shape of rare
Apollo. or whether il was in the shape of a
church, or whether it was in the shape of a
creed Any God that men can fix their lower
senses upon and rest in is bad for the race
The necessity of men to lift themselves above
their lower range of faculties, and make
their life in the realm Of the invisible, out of
the reach Of the senses, and develop their
nature up and away from the physic and
matcrial-that is the grand civiiizing and
Christainizing necessity of the race. And to
have our Savior present with us would be to
smother those instincts on which our elcva-
ton and spiritualization depend; while to
have him absent from US in heaven is to have
above lis bright flame like blaze of fire,
circuitirg higher and higher to where Christ
sits at the right hand of God.-Henry Ward

The latest invention calculated to do away


with human skill is patent piano player, by
which ON aspirant for musical distinction can
perform the most difficult pieces without the
preliminary tortures known as practicing, or
those terrOrs to the infant mind called scales.
This wonderful machine owes its birth to
Paris. 1t occupies position in front Of the
key board of the piano, and extends above
the key board to the floor. Over the keys of
the piano are keys corresponding to the keys
beneath them These are the fingers Of the
machine, and they have this advantage over
the human hand, that they have finger for
every note. The top of the machine is about
one foot in width. 1t has in the center two
rollers, which are moved by a crank. These
carry the music through, and a. it passes the
piano plays it. The music is on paper, and
the notes are made by cutting holes in squares.
As these holes pass certain point they allow
. hammer to pass through, and the stroke of
that hammer Is communicated to its own key
on the plano. Each key has its hammer. It
only requires that these holes be cut at proper
intervals to strike any number of keys In any
given series. The machine can be adaptedt0
any tnsosument with keys.

AN INFIDEL KNEELs TO THE POPE.-C.
w. Stoddard has written communication to
the San Francisco Chronicle, in which, after
proclaiming himself an In6del, he says he in
voluntarily went down on his knees in the Pa
pal presence, and also adds that that eminent
parsonage, leaning on his (Stoddard's) shoulder
remarked to his comrade: "Ah, this is an
American ~ II was never SO datterd in my
life." Now we doubt not the Pope is highly
susceptible old gentleman, and mayhap subject
to fattery; but still, we think, if Mr.. Stoddard
had measured his ears before writing, he could
easily have found word more descriptive OF
his own genus than "In6del." We quote:


There is something marvellously magnetic in


the atmosphere of this wonderful Pope. l de-

even to feel particular reverence for the Pope,

you the moment he enters the room and holds
YOU fascinated so long as you are in his pres

you remember him with a sense of uncommon
pleasure. It is much like the spiritual eleva-

and the Order made harmonious a. it is useful
already, and we believe, permanent As no
member receives dollar from the institution
except in case Of sickness, without returning an
equivalent for it, we don't see how the Echo
writer can establish the charge that it is not
benevolent institution. Its works here are all
benevolent. Finally, envy and contention
among temperance people can have no good
efgct. To accomplish the object for which we
understand such societies to be organized, they
