6 GEORGIA AND FLORIDA. NEWS OF THE TWO STATES TOLD IN PARAGRAPHS. One Hundred and Fifty-four Bills Passed by the Present General As sembly Up to Date Two Alabama Murders Which Cause Excitement in Georgia—A Federal Soldier’s Skel eton Unearthed at Atlanta. GEORGIA. Superior Court is in session at Sanders- Vrille. At Griffin Harper & Cos. have sold their Stock of groceries to B. R. Blakely. Atlanta’s City Council has passed an ordi nance permitting pool selling on horse Voces, At Princeton, Clarke county, Mr. Hum phries has organized an Audubon society with 137 members. Griffin is to have another cotton factory. Fifty thousand dollars has already l>een promised the new enterprise, and the pros pect is good for $200,000. The Cuthbert Light Infantry was perma nently reorganized Monday night with a membership of thirty-three. There will be other accessions to the membership. J. J. Black, of Rome, is the happy posses sor of a $5 Georgia bond with the coil]sms of 20c. each, and an old shin plaster. The bill has been dead since Jan. 1, 1885. While the school boys were engaged in playing base ball on the Ham Bailey Insti tute campus at Griffin Tuesday Master An drew Blake had the misfortune to fall and break his thigh bone. An old 6word has been dug up in the Rome railroad yard. It had been in the ground so long "that rust, had eaten clean through some portions of the blade. It was at one time a very flue one, anil was proba bly buried some time during the late un pleasantness. At Augusta a Mr. Houston has employed Messrs. Twiggs & Verdery to prosecute Berrien RachalLs, a county convict guard, for beating unmercifully a boy, Houston’s nephew, who is employed by the county. It is said the boy refused to obey Rachalls, who made a burly negro convict whip him -severely. The County Engineer of Floyd iR now making a careful estimate of the cost of re pairing the Bridge street bridge, and also an estimate of the cost of anew double track iron bridge. It is thought that the board will, when the est imates are carefully examined, find it economy to build anew bridge. James M. Humphries intends to organize a band of mercy in every grade of the pub lic school at Athens as soon as the session commences. He will get the teaohei-s to lie at the head of each band, and in that way secure their co-operation. In a few weeks he will offer prizes for the best composition from each band. At Amerieus, Tuesday, Judge Allen Fort rendered his decision in the Blackman mur der case, wherein an appeal was made by counsel for the accused for anew trial in the case on the plea that one of the jurors in the last trial of the case had “expressed an opinion’’ previous to the hearing of testi mony. The motion was overruled and the case will be carried up to the Supreme Court. Up to date the General Assembly has passed 154 bills which have received the ap proval of the Governor. It is not meant, that this number lias been passed at thj present sitting of the General Assembly, but at the regular session last fall and at the adjourned session now in progress. If all the bills on the desks are passed before ad journment, there will be something like 100 or 500; bui it is hardly likely that all will get through. Numerous robberies have been reported in Griffin this week, all of which have occurred in the daytime. Sunday there were four houses robbed. Tuesday after noon, between 4 and 5 o’clock, as ill's. John Ison was entering her yard, on Taylor street, she discovered two white inen and a negro b*v artempting to effect an entrance into her nouse. As soon as the men saw her they ran under the house, and from there they made their escape. At Macon Tuesday there was filed with Clerk Adams, of the Superior Court, a suit for damages against the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia railroad, which prom ises to be a lively mutter in the courts. Mr. Eugene B. Harris, one of the best known of Macon's army of drummers, is the plaintiff in the action, and the suit grows out of the fact that in the opinion of himself and Ills attorneys, Ross & Blount, he was illogallv ejected from a train on defendant’s railroad. At Atlanta Tuesday morniug, while a foroe of dirt-throwers were excavating a lot ifor the East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia irailroad, near the shops of that eomiwtny, ‘the remains of an ox-Federal soldier were fTemoved from their resting place, several feet below the surface. The buttons found on the clothes of the dead soldier showed that he belonged to the Federal army. In an old poeketbook found with the remains ‘was discovered a S2O gold piece. The negroes divided the money, and their work was resumed. Monday the Commissioners of Roads and Revenue of Floyd county opened the bids for the building of the two new bridges, and referred them to the county engineer with instruction to report to-day. The following are the names of the i ompanics making bids: Penn Bridge Company, represented by Col. Shipman; Morse Bridge Company, Mr. Beecher; Champion Bridge Company, Judge Owen; Smith Bridge Com pan}', Geo. H. Craft; Pittsburg Bridge Company, T. M. Nelson; King Bridge Company, J. 6. Lan caster: Decatur Bridge Company, Geo. C. Bullen. There passed through Macon Tuesday a queer turnout A heavy wagon was drawn by six powerful oxen,' and the driver, a negro with a long whip, controlled the team by walking along by them, carrying the whip at present arms, and simply call ing out his‘‘whoas” and “gees.” The oxen ■were under perfect control, and were guided in this way through the streets among many vehicles. There was a party of negroes in the wagon, but nothing could be learned from them of the destination of the caravan, or from whence it came, except that thev had traveled eighty miles. The grand jury cf Dodgo county in their presentment.-, recommend t hat W. 8. Bryant be discharged from the position of whipping boss, ond that the law lie so changed as to allow a committee from tho grand jury of that county to visit the convict camp, with out notice, during tho vacation of court. They find that Peter Diggers was exces sively and unmercifully whipped by Bryant, on July 10, but do not’feel justified in call ing for his prosecution for murder. The special committee found the. camp in good condition on July '2-4, except that the lad ding was filthy, and there was a terrible steneh in the convicts' quarters all the time. Tho city bridge over the Flint river, eighteen miles distant from Americus, owned by the city, was sold at public outcry by Marshal Lingo before the court house door Tuesday morning for S.YJI to a syndi cate of young men. The bridge was built eight or ten years ago, at a cost to the city of nearly ♦12,000, and is still in first-rate condition. A comfortable dwelling and sev eral acres of land were included in the pur chase, and the boys realize that they have struck a bonanza. They will, in all proba bility, continue to run it as it has lieen in years past, the annual receipts in tolls being something like SOOO or ♦too. Beveral of them were offered double the amount paid by them after the sale was over with, but such a proposition was treated with the utmost contumely. The purchasers were Messrs T. N. liawkos, W. A. Dodson, J. A. Davenport, C. W. Lamar, John Windsor and J. E. I). Shipp. The committ/-o appointed from the City Council of A men ei is to investigate and re port upon the bid* of contractors for tho cnotrart tr> erect th* proposed water works, have reported adversely upon each bid, and the eiitue lot were oonunpa-ntly rejected, it* origuuU cattUoatod cost oX ertuUiig the works was $30,000, and it was expected that the bids would come within this limit, but of the four bids made not one came near th 6 estimated cost by several thousand dollars. Two of the bids were for $3'.i,500 each, another was for $38,600, while the lowest was $32,600. This last bid, while $5,000 in excess of the amount to be realized from the sale of the bonds, would no doubt havo been accepted by Council had the plans and specifications decided iqion by that body been specified in the bid for the contract. This was not done, however, and the bid was conse quently rejected. This, therefore, finally settled the question of letting the work out by contract and it is more than likely than as soon as the bonds are disposed of that the eity r will employ some competent builder and undertake the work herself. A telegram was received at Rockmart Monday from Cross Plains, Ala., requesting the arrest, on sight, of a negro boy, aged 18 or 20, who had killed a white man by the name of Lewis, at Cross Plains. In a few minutes after it was received, such a negro jassed along the railroad through town. A. G. Bullock, tho City Marshal, pursued, cap tured and imprisoned the fugitive. He acknowledged knocking a man in the head with a rock, but didn’t know he was deatr Officers arrived and conveyed him to Cross Plains. A reward of $25 was of fered for his arrest. The killing took place Saturday about dark, at Cross Plains, in Calhoun county. R. 13. Lewis, a prominent white citizen, was the one murdered. The negro Hall had been rocking Mr. lewis’ cows, when the latter remonstrated with him, A quarrel ensued, which resulted in the negro boy picking up a large rock and with great force hurled it at Mr. Lewis striking liim on the left temple. The skull was shattered, and the wound was a horrible sight. Mr. Lewis never spoke after he was hit. and in aliout 30 minutes died. Another killing took place in the same county on Friday night, being tho murder of a white woman by a negro man. This oc curred near Duke’s, on the East, and West railroad. It seems that the negro and the woman’s husband had previously some fall ing out. On the night mentioned above the black scoundrel went to the house of the man anil called him out. The wife went to the door, however, and perhaps thinking it was the one he intended to kill, shot her down. The negro theu ran away, and has not been seen since. These two murders have created great excitement and indigna tion in Calhoun county and on the Georgia side of t he State line. On Monday the stockholders of the Griffin Manufacturing Company met at the office of tho President and Secretary, and trans acted the usual routine business. The fol lowing gentlemen were elected to serve as the board of directors for the ensuing vear: W. J. Kincaid, R. Grantland, J. M. Draw ner, A. Hcheuerman, F. G. Bailey, D. J. Bailey, Jr., J. D. Boyd, N. B. Drewry and A. S. Murray. The board of directors met Tuesday, when W. J. Kincaid was re-elected President and S. Grantland re-elected Secretary and Treasurer. President Kincaid's report was full and complete, and as it was read and di gested the stockholders grew more and more satisfied with their investment, and when it was announced that the company was ready to declare a 6>-£ per cent, dij/ dend, the satisfaction was confirmed. Tils dividend of H'-f,' per cent, will lie paid on Sept. 15. A few figures taken from this re port will prove of great interest to the pub lic. The capital stock of the company is $153,677 01, on which the above handsome dividend has been declared. Dur ing tho year ending Aug. 13, the plant of the company was increased $12,07!) 70. The product of the mills for tlie year amounted to 2,388,003 yards, making an average product of 7,008 yards per day. During the year 1,047 bales and a quantity of loose cotton was used, aggregating 821,02s pounds. During the coming year the product of the mins will lie greatly increased, and the company will at once erect a large addition to the mill to be used as a check room. The estimates for the coming year calls for the use of about 1,000 bales of cotton, from which will be made about 2,600,000 yards of sheeting, shirting, dialling, pluids and tuckings. FLORIDA. The Santa Rosa News has suspended pub lication. Como is to have a now railroad soon, and a hotel will be built for the accommodation of visitors this winter. The County Commissioners of Putnam met Monday and were engaged all day in redistriding the county. After the County Commissioners of De- Soto county call a’vote on the court house question, Trabue and Charlotte Harbor pro pose to be heard from. The officers of the Daytona Bank have purchased a lot on Beach street front Mrs. E. N. Waldron, where they will shortly erect a suitable bnilding for their business.’ Officer AVise, of the Palatka police depart ment, has gone to St. Augustine to claim tho reward for capturing Palmer Gregory for the murder of a boy over there not long ago. Mr. Snook, agent for the Brush Electric Light Company, has disposed of u plant to Messrs. Mann Brothers and John Codero, with which they propose to illuminate Ocala A steam ferry company has received a charter from tne County Commissioners, and will soon put on a ferrv boat plying be tween Trabue, Hickory Bluff nua Char lotte Harbor. Eighty-five registered letters were sent from the jiost office at Trabue last month. One year ugo this office consisted of a couple of cigar boxes, and received about three letters a week. There are said to be 2,000 laborers idle in St. Augustine, including about SSO mechanics, work on the buildings there having advanced to such a stage of progress that their services are no longer needed. The addition to the court house at Palut ka is now fully enclosed and roofed in, a coat of paint has been put on, mid now all that remains to finish is the interior. The build ing is a great convenience, and has long been needed. The boomers say Grove City is going to “boom 1 ’ this winter, and they predict a 200 population for the young town during tho next six months, A large store has been erected, and a forty-room hotel is rapidly nearing completion, and numerous winter cottages are being contracted for. Some excitement was created at Anthony, Saturday night, by an intoxicated man at tempting to ride into the principal business houses of tho town on hoi-seback. Ho finally sun-eeded in riding into tho store of Capt. M. D. Stroud. Ho rode about half way through the building, and was then in duced to ride out. An interesting contest has come to the surface at Ocala as to who are the legal cus todians of the school fund, sf>,4oo, voted to Ocala by the late Legislature, to reimburse Ocala for the removal of the East Florida Seminary from this eity to Gainesville. It was presumed the City Treasurer would give an additional bond and take charge of it. City Attorney Couch gave a legal opin ion that gives the fund in charge of the Mayor, Abram Martin, and President of the Council, J. F. Dunn. The "grist in this legal grinding” now goes into ft>e strong box of the Bank of Ocala, instead of being S laced under the time lock of the First 'ationa! Bank, os Mr. Agnew, its President,, was ready and willing to go on City Treasurer R, R.

Miss Tay lor is from Toronto, Canada, and had come • this long distance to wed the man of her choice, Dr. Herman H. Martin, of Ht. Au gustine. Dr. Martin met Ids bride-elect at the steamer's dock, and with a friend they escorted her to Hotel Togni, where dinner was served. A carriage was then procured and the bride and grooin-elect and a friend were driven to the office of the County | Judge and a license procured, after which j the party drove to the residence of Rev. R. THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1887. H. Weller to have the ceremony performed. Dr. Weller was out of the city, and they were directed to Mr. Knight, pastor of St.. Andrew’s church, in East Jacksonville, hut he, too, was absent. The reporter, who fol lowed them, could ascertain nothing further than that they liad taken an afternoon train for St. Augustine. Two roughs named Dolph Richard and Jack Chancey went to Maclenny on the 7:30 train Sunday evening for the purpose of “running tho town,” as they expressed it. They had plenty of whisky, and by 7 o’clock in the evening they were both pretty full and began to got noisy. They cursed and swore around the streets and became gener ally disorderly. Richard drew a slung,shot on a darkey named George Jackson, but the darkey got away from him. About 7:30 o’clock the men started toward the Method ist church, where a mooting was going on, but on their way up there Sheriff Van Bus kirk and Marshal Pearce arrested them and nut a guard of three men with double barrelled guns over them. The next morn ing they were brought up before the Mayor’s Court and were lined SSO and costs, each, and Richard was bound over to the Justice Court for carrying concealed weapons, and will, in all probability, be bound over to court. They are both desperate characters, and both hail from Lake Butler. BRANNAN’S MASTERPIECE The Beautiful Invitation to the Presi dent to Visit Jacksonville. From the Jacksonville (Fla.) Feics- Herald. Mr. L. E. Brannan, the artist, has pro duced bis masterpiece. He has just com pleted for the City Council and Board of Trade their joint invitation to President Cleveland to visit this city, and the work is one that even a President may preserve as a treasure. The work consists of a number of pen and ink sketches, of clever design, bound in covers of bevel-edged boards of curly Florida pine highly polished. IT non tho outside ot the first cover is painted a mag nolia blossom, surrounded by its dark green, glossy leaves. The back of the book is fin ished in the natural fibre-cloth of the pal - metto. The leaves of the hook are of heavy draw ing paper or card-board. Upon the fly-leaf there is drawn a placque upon whi'-h is dis played a spray of Cherokee roses In full iiibom, with also a few half-opened buds of the same. The first page is in India ink and water color combined, and is an upright panel with a border in imitation of alligator skin blending off into indistinct forms. In the upper left-hand corner is a small medallion on which is a sketch from nature taken near Pablo, and backed by a profusion of pal metto leaves, Cherokee roses,Osceola plumes, and sea oats; flying over this are two snow white, graceful gulls. Tho large initial “T” is formed from the trunk of an ancient cypress tree. Following the invitation is an oblong sketch represented as being pinned on the page, and is a sketch made near Lake George, on the Upper St. John’s. On the rightof this a Iszy alligator has fallen down from the top of the border, where he is en deavoring to regain his position. On the left a solitary crane keeps his lonely vigil. The Recono page is headed by a semi cir cular panel, upon which is drawn a typical Florida “Cracker,” driving slowly down the winding, sandy road, beneath the swaying branches of the sombre “piny woods.” Be low this sketch the invitation continues. On tho lower right hand corner is a Florida moonlight scene, represented as though looking through agothie window on the quiet night beyond. The fourth page consists of a water-color drawing of an ideal Florida landscape. On the right of the picture two tall palmettoes stand sentinel over the sleeping lake that nestles at their feet The last page is the great peal of the State of Florida, behind which in happy contrast is tied an elegant bow of blue-green ribbon, in connection with a spray of beautiful golden oranges and pure, fragrant orange blossoms. A horrible place. The Terrors of the Ever-Quaking Oke flnokee Swamp. From the Feu' Orleans Times-Democrat. We wore in the heart of the Okefinokee swamp. We bad reached the swamp at last. In the middle of a lake whose black waters were rippling in a curious fashion was an island of perhaps 200 acres, covered with scrubby bushes. All over the island thin colums of brown smoke could be seen slowly rising. “I don’t understand what keeps the water disturbed,” said one of tho men; “there is no breeze. ” "Hit am de debbil’s own pot," said black Sam, looking wild-eyed and nervous. We quieted Sam, and put him to work with the others constructing a rude raft out of the dead trees which wore lying around in abundance. In a short tim a tho raft was ready, and we paddled ourselves to the island. “It shakes," exclaimed Dupont, who was the first to land. Sam was the next one on shore, but he at once stepped back on the raft. “De Lnwd hab inussy!” bo said, “I kain’t stan’ dat.” We all followed Dupont, and found that the island was trembling quite perceptibly. “Perhaps it is a floating island,” sug gested one of my companions. “It is nothing of the kind,” I remarked. “I have heard of it before, but we are doubtless the first white men who have landed here in forty years.” “What do you know about it?” asked Dupont, quickly. “Simply this. When Sir Charles Lyell, tho famous British geologist, visited this country, he explored the swamp and exam ined this very spot. He found it shaking all the tune, with fissures in the earth con stantly opening and closing, with this same peculiar smoke rising from them. He came to the conclusion that tho crust of tho earth was thinner right here than in any locality of the glolie. The volcanic action near the surface euuses the smoke, and also the con tinual bubbling of the lake. This may havo been goiug on for centuries. You know that tho Indian word Okefinokee means trembling earth." "Well, I can’t say that I care to camp here,” said Dupont , "but as we are here wo might ns well explore a little." This was the general opinion, and Sam was persuaded to leave his quarters on the raft aud trust himself to thauunstable land. “1 have found a geyser,” reported one of our explorers, who had been rambling aliout on his own hook. Guided by him we went to a little spring of boiling water that whh gushiiur forth near the centre of the island. With the water came jots of steam, sand and blue mud. At this place the shaking was so violent that it made us stagger, and we could heal - under our foot a muffled roar or rumble. "Marne Ross,” gasped Bam, “I mus’ git out'er heuh.” He made a run toward the rjft, when a small fissure in the earth aliotit a foot wide yawned in front of him. Tho poor fellow dropped on the ground in speechless terror. We helped him up and tried to reassure him, but it was no use. As soon as he was culm enough to walk be made a break for the raft. “Bam is the only sensible fellow in the party.” said Dupont. “There is danger of creaking a leg In one of these fissures, and I don't see why a man could not be swallowed up.” I laughed at this. Sir Charles Lyell had spoken of the island as a remarkable curi osity, but hail not predicted any serious out break of the forces of nature. "See that!” continued Dupont. I looked. The fissure which hail fright ened Sam had dosed up completely I drew a long breath. In the midst of such phenomena a man feels small. Before I could say anything there was a deafening roar, a thousand cracks opened in the earth, and the smoke coming out of the ground *m to thick that wo wore aiuiost tlittca. Undoubtedly it was a genuine shock of earthquake—something altogether different from the light tremors previously felt. “We must run for it, I shouted. Just then another shock came and threw us heavily to the ground. We rose in a dazed condition and saw within a few feet of us a yawning chasm fully three feet wide and a hundred feet long. It emitted a vol ume of steam, and with inconceivable rapidity closed up with another jar that almost toppled us over again. We started on a run for the raft. “Where is Dupont?” We all asked this question at once. The raft was in sight but Sam was the only occu pant. We faced about, but could see noth ing of the missing man. Rad he in his terror taken the wrong direction? It would not do to leave him, and there was nothing to do but retrace our steps. We yelled out his name and traversed every toot, of the island There was not a trace of our friend. We looked at each other with terror-stricken faces. The same thought was uppermost in the minds of all. Had Dupont been swallowed up in the yawning chasm ? It looked very much like it. Again w© resumed oursearch, but with out any better success than before. Then we gloomily made our way to the raft and paddled to the other shcre. 1 suggested that Dupont had rushed’off <vlicn the shock came, and, blinded by the smoke, he had perhaps fallen into the lake. “No, Marse Ross,” said Sam, gloomily. “He’s done swallowed up in de bowels ob de yairth. Hit’s done happened liefo’. ’ I’se heered many a time dat Injuns and hunters wuz lost hear just dat way I useter laugh at ’em as fairy tales, but I members dem now and knows dem fur de troof.” A hurried search around the lake com - pelled us to accept Sam’s explanation, and we took Up our line of march without a halt until we reached the settlements. We had a new' trouble to face. People would not believe our story. At first they were inclined to think that wo had killed Dupont, but that theory was soon aban doned, and it was held that our friend had drowned himself in the lake. Under the circumstances there was noth ing to lie gained by discussing the matter with strangers. We left the simple country people sticking to the belief that Dupont was under the lake somewhere, but we knew as well as we knc-w anything that he had fallen headlong into the very centre of the focal fires raging so fiercely in that slumber ing volcano. Sleep Why We Do It. From Science. In an address to the Anthropological So ciety of Brussels, Prof. Leo Errera has given a resume of some points in the chemical theory of sleep. The phenomena of sleep have, in common with other vital functions, the character Of periodicity. An examina tion of such periodic functions in general may aid in ascertaining the cause of sleep. The respiratory rhythm is regulated by the amount of oxygen and carbonic acid in the arterial blood. When the blood is charged with oxygen the respiratory centre momen tarily suspends activity; but soon the tis sues yield their oxygen to the blood, have it replacod by carbonic acid, and the blood thus modified acts as an excitant to the respiratory centre. Ranko has shown that the fatigue and recovery of muscles is due to a similar alternation of the accumu lation and discharge of certain “fatiguing substances,” chief among which is lactic ackl. An injection of this acid into fresh muscle renders it incapable of work; wash ing the acid out restores the activity. Cannot sleep be explained by a similar chemical theory > Prayer has extended the views of Binz, Obemteinor, and others (who all agree in making the accumulation of cer tain products of fatigue—ennudunaxstoff— the cause of sleep* by calling all such fatigu ing product* of activity “ponogens.” These accumulate in waking life, are readily oxi dizahle, and absorb the oxygen intended for glands, muscles, and nerve centres Until action is impossible and sleep sets in. Grad ually the ponogens are destroyed by oxida tion, slight excitation is sufficient to arouse the centres, and waking life begins. Amofijg the | onogens Preyer count lactics acid as the chief, but the experimental demonstration of this has been unsuccessful, and the theory, accordingly, not generall]- adopted. Since these researches Armand Gautier has found 111 the human body a series of five organic bases akin to creatine, creatinine, and xanthine, anrl calls them “leucomaines” and “ptomaines." The physiological prop erties of these substances are narcotic, fa tiguing, and sometimes lead to vomiting. This is just whut the chemical theory re quires. The periodicity of sleep would be explained by the conservation of energy being applicable to all bodily activity; work must lie followed by repair; life is a slow suicide. There is. moreover, ronson to be lieve that the action of these leucomaines is a direct one upon the brain; it is a direct intoxication of the brain centres. A theory of sleep must take account of three factors—work, fatigue and sleep. The chemical theory satisfies t hese demands. All work, muscular or cerebral, produces waste products. These accumulate, make work more and more difficult; this is fatigue. As the process continues, the waste products, notably the leucomaines, intoxicate the higher nerve centres (just as a dose of mor phine does), nod render them incapable of action; that is sleep. The picture is, how ever, much more complex. There is a con stant struggle gaiiistt.he fntigue, which for a time, by dint of hard work shown in in creased secretions and so on, may succeed. We probably never arrive at the extreme limit of work; the sensation of fatigue intervenes to prevent, such a disaster. Fatigue, as is well known, may extend from muscle to nerve and from nerve to nerve centre. We may he very tired from re peatedly lifting a weight, and not be sleepy, and may lie generally sleepy without any considerable local fatigue. One is periphe ral, the other control. As tho waste prod ucts accumulate in the centres, motion and sensation become more and more sluggish, until the time comes when tho ordinary stimulation no longer arouses them, and we sleep. Partial sleep can be similarly ex plained. Tho centres go to sleep in a hierar chical order, the highest serving the most delicate function going firet. In waking, the reverse is the case; the motor centres may be asleep while the intellectual centres are awake. In somnambulism the latter mav be asleep while the fora ter are awake. The depth of sleep, mn-arding to this (h • ory, ought to be proportional to the num ber of cortical molecules in combination with the leucomaines. In the beginning of sleep these are abundant, the cerebral cells inactive, and a combination easy. The sleep is deep. Soon the maximum number of combinations is reached, and sleep is deep est. From here on the leucomaines are gradually eliminated and destroyed, and sleep should decrease with a decreasing in tensity. Koh Isohut ter’s experiments on the intensity of sleep, as tested by the noise necessary to awake tho patient., gives tho curve for the intensity of sleep correspond ing to what we should expect by our the ory. Variations in our sleep, caused by an excess of worn, etc., are evidently similarly explicable. In short, futluue is a poison for which sleep is the normal antidote. This theory maintains (1) that the activity of all the tissues (and primarily of tho tw o most active, the nervous and muscular) gives rise to substances, more or loss allied to alkaloids, the leucomaines; (2) that these induce fatigue and sleep; (3) that on waking, if the body is tested, these substances have disappeared. To complete the demonstration of these statements much careful oxjieriiiiontution is necessary; but the facto as far as they go make it prnliablc that the chemical theory of sleep will gain in strength with our knowledge.

Seven Years of Physical and Mental Suffering Ended by Cuticura. ABOUT seven years ago I had a humor break out upon my face: it started in a small blotch and looked like the sting of ft Is-e. then it spread and looked like a ringworm, and became very painful. lat once went to one of the best doctors in the city and he could do me no good No less than twelve of the best doctors have hail a trial at my face and all of them failed. I will not, give you a list of their names, hut will say that they were from Boston, New York and Maine, also from England, Fiance ami Canada. 1 have been a hotel cook and steward for years. In the summer I cook at watering [ laces; that is why I have an opportunity of being among good doctors. They could not cure tny face, and I had given up all hopes of ever lieing any better. last June I went, to Moosehead Take, Man:", to cook for the season. Mv face was so bad I (lid not like to be seen. At the lake I met a gentleman from England. lie told me to use your Cuticura Rkmkmeu and they would cure mo at once. 1 did so. The result was in three weeks the sores on my face were healed up. I used it all the season. My face is all well and no scars to be seen. I have recommended it to a number, and in every ease it has cured them. It would take a great deal of money to put me hack where 1 was one year ago, providing I did not know what your Cuticura would do. I shall recommend it as long as 1 live, and shall ever remain, H. STEVENS, East Jackson, Me. \ Most Wonderful Skin Cure. Have just used your Cuticura Remedies on one of my girls, awl found it to be just what it is recommended to lie. My daughter was all broken out on her head and body, and the hair commenced to come out. Now she is as smooth as ever she was. and she lias only taken one box of Cuti gtra. one cake of Cuticcra Soap, and one bottle of Cvtioura Resolvent.
