How We Go to Sleep. “Order is heaven’s first law,'* and the truth is manifested even in the process of going to sleep. When a man drops off to sleep, says the Cin ainnati Medical Journal, his body does not do so all at once, so to speak. Some senses become dormant before others, and always in the same order. As he becomes drowsy the eyes close and the sense of seeing is at rest. It is quickly followed by the disappearance ofthesenseof taste. He next loses the sense of smell and then, after a short interval, the tympanum becomes insensible to sonnd, or rather the nerves which run to the brain from it fail to arouse any sense of hearing. The last sense to leave is that of touch, and in some hypersensitive people it is hardly ever dormant. Even in their case, however, there is no discriminat¬ ing power or sense of what touched them. This sense is also the first to return upon awakening. Then hearing follows suit, after that taste, and then the eyes become able to flash impres¬ sions back to the brain. The sense of smell, oddly enough, though it is by no means the first to go, is the last to come back. The same gradual loss of power is observed in tue muscles and sinews as well as in the senses. Slum¬ ber begins at the feet and slowly spreads up the limbs and trunk until it reaches the brain, when unconscious¬ ness is complete and the whole body is at rest. This is why sleep is impossi¬ ble when the feet are cold. f THE ELECTION OF THE FUTURE. Candidate — I can’t understand why my svpport was not greater at the polls.

As a rule, a man’s hair turns gray five years sooner than a woman’s. A double line of electric omnibuses is about to be started in London. In Ottawa, Canada, a city of 40,000 inhabitants, there are 50,000 electric lights. The automatic bicycle tiro iuflater is a device for maintaining a hard or soft tire, as may be desired. It is propose I to include an inter¬ national exhibition of aeronautical ap¬ paratuses among the features of the Paris Exposition of 1900. Hr. Kanson, one of Professor Behr ing’tr assistants, has discovered a serutu remedy against cholera which has proved successful on animals. Experiments recently made prove that signals of lights may be seen at a greater distance if the flashes follow one another at irregular intervals. A spectroscope detector by which ono part of blood in a solution oi S50,000 parts cau be discovered has been invented by M. de Thierry. It will be of value in murder cases where the stains are very minuto. David H. Wyckoff recently wrote that a million horse-power could not produce the effect that a single flash of lightning has been known to ac¬ complish. He believed that we have as yet hardly begun to utilize the forces of nature. A cure for cancer and consumption is reported to have been discovered by a New York doctor. The treatment consists of injecting minute doses of pilocarpin until the lymphatic system is stimulated and the white corpuscles of the blood overcome tho poisonous which disease. G. W. Johnson, a well-known authority on chemistry, writes that the taste of the cucumber is due to a poisonous substance called “fungin” that is found in all mushrooms and fungoid growth as well as in cucum¬ bers. This poison accounts for the effect of cucumbers on some stomachs. Alfred C. Lane writes that ton miles above the earth the cold is far below zero, while ten miles below the sur¬ face everything is red hot. This latter is not so certain. It is thought by some that the heat of the earth may be wholly due to absorption from the sun, and so may decrease after a cer¬ tain depth has been reached. Dr. Chapman shows that the bobo¬ links which nest west of thq Rooky Mountains do not migrate southward with the birds of that region, but re¬ trace their steps and leave the United States by way of Florida, thus furn¬ ishing evidence of the gradual exten¬ sion of range westward and of the sta¬ bility of the routes of migration. Starchy foods, such as milk and many other substances recognized as highly nutritious, are, it is said, det¬ rimental to tho growth of the hair. Chemical analysis shows that the hair is composed in part of five per cent. of sulphur and its ash, twenty per cent, of silicon, and ten per cent, of iron and manganese, The foods which seem, therefore, best adapted for nourishing the hair are meat, oat¬ meal and graham flour. Spices aud Other Things. Prunes are prepared fruit of small trees. White pepper is made from the ripe berry. Cloves are the dried blossoms of tho clove tree. Carraway is the seed of a common wild plant. Rice is the pealed and dried seed of the rice plant. Dates are dried and prepared fruit of the date palm. Coffee is the kernel taken from the berry of the coffee tree. Cardamon is the ripe seed of several varieties of tropical shrub. Raisins are sun-dried grapes of a peculiarly luscious variety. Starch is extract ed from potatoes, corn, rice, arrowroot, etc. Sago is a dry, granulated starch im¬ ported from the East Indies. Black pepper is made from the un¬ ripe dried berry of the pepper plant. Capers are the flowers of the caper bush, preserved iu salt aud vinegar. Figs are dried and skillfully pre¬ pared fruit that looks much like tho pear. Vanilla is make from beans tha grow upon a vine that clings to trees and rocks. Allspice is made from the fruit of the pimento tree. The seed is much like the pea. Saffron is tho dried stigma of the common yellow crocus which grows in our gardens. Black mustard is the seed of sinapis nigra. The seeds have a brown color, with a redish tint. Mace is the blossom of the nutmeg tree, and is prepared by being im¬ mersed in salt water. Cocoa is made from the fruit of the cocoa tree, fermented for five days in heaps, or in earthen vessels. The tamarind is the marrow in the podlike fruit of the Indian tamarind tree. It is a dark brown mass, and is generally mixed with the seeds and fi bers of the fruit. Disgusting Etiquette. In a recent interview with Queen Victoria, Nasr Ullah Kahn, following the custom observed by his father, the Ameer of Afghanistan, in presenting a missive to a high personage, wetted all over with his tongue a letter from the Ameer that he had been charged to hand to the Queen. The latter looked at the process doubtfully, and finally decided that it would be better for her not to take the letter. A Lord in Waiting received the missive with a look of undisguised disgust oa hi? face.—New York Times. Artificial Marble. Nine-tenths of the marble-topped tables and so on—what I might call furniture marble—seeu iu this coun¬ try, are made of artificial marble, said a man in the trade. Thousands of tons of this mock mar ble are made annually, and even meu in the trade can scarcely tell the dif¬ ference between the real and the false article, for the markings, or mar bliugs, go wholly through the block, and are not merely superficial. The basis of the whole is a combination of limestone and chalk, which, chemical¬ ly treated, can be made of any shudo desired. The artificial marble in the rough is placed in a water bath, and upon this is sprinkled a sort of varn¬ ish, consisting of sesquioxide of iron, gum, and turpentine, and all manner of marbled designs are produoed when the turpentine is broken up by the ad¬ dition of water. Any pattern of marbling can be pro duced to order, Onoe such pattern appears, the air is expelled from the block, and the colors are fixed by the immersion of the stone in sulphate and warm water baths, and then an¬ other bath of sulphate and zino so closes up the pores and hardens the stone that it acquires the density of the natural article, and oan be out and polished in the same manner.—Ex. Why it Failed. • “No, our onion social was not a success.” “Onion sooial? What is that?” “Why, all of the girls stand up in a row and one of them is selected to take a bite out of an onion. Then the young men pay 10 cents a guess as to who ate the onion.” “Yes.” “And if he guesses right he gets to kiss all the other girls.” “I see.” “And the girl who bit the onion kisses all the fellows who guess wrong. And that is where the row began. All of the girls wanted to be the onion girl. More fellows guess wrong than right, you know.”—Cincinnati Tri¬ bune. GREAT BOOK FREE. When Dr. R. V.
