T —————— " — S——— ; \ - EAT BEFORE SLEEP. It is the True Way to Obtain ~ Refreshing Slumber. . bty < To Sleep on an Empty Stomach is to Awake Exhausted. Going to bed with a well-filled stomach is the essential "éfiprerequisite of refreshing slumber. Tae cautions so often reiterated in old madical journals against late suppers were directed chief - ly to the bibulous habits of those early times. When at every late feast the - guests not unseldom drank themselves ‘under the table, or needed strong as" sistance to reach their couch, the canon against such indulgence was not un ~ timely. Nature and common scuse . teach us that a full stomach is essential to quiet repose. KEvery man who has found it difficult to keep awake after a hearty dinner has answered the problem for himself. There are few animals that can be trained to rest until after they®re fed. Man, as he comes into the world, pre - _ sents a condition it would be well for him to follow in all his after-life. The sweetest minstrel ever sent out of para dise cannot ging an infant to sleep on an empty stomach. We have known reckless nurses to give the little ones a dose of paregoric or soothing syrup in place of its cup of milk, when it was too much trouble to get the latter, but this is the one alternative. The little stomach of the sleeping child, as it be comes gradually empty, folds on itself in plaits; two of these make it restless; three will open its eyes, but by careful soothing these may be closed again; four plaits and the charm lis broken; there is no more sleep in that house hold until that child has been fed. It seems to us so strange that with this example before their eyes full-grown men are so slow-to learn the lesson. The farmer does it for his pig, who would squeal all night if it were not fed at the last moment, and the groom knows that his horse will paw in his stall nntil he has had his meal. But when he wishes to sleep himself he never seems to think of it. To sleep, « the fulness of the blood must leave the ' head: to digest the eaten food the blood must come to the stomach. Thus, s®:ep and digestion are natural allies; one helps the other. Man, by long practice, will train himself to sleep on an empty stomach, but it is more the slesp of exhaustion than the sleep of refreshment. He wakes up after such a troubled sleep feeling utterly miserable until he has had a cup of coffee or some other stimulant, and he has so injured the tone of his stom ach that he has little appc,‘&ite for break fast. Whereas, one who allows himself to sleep after a comfortable meal awakes strengthened, and his appetite has been quickened by that preceding indul gence. The difficulty in recovery comes from the fact that we are such creatures of our habits it 13 impossible to break away from them without persistent effort. In this case the man who has eaten nothing after 6° o’clock and re ~ tires at 10 or 11 takes to bed an empty stomach upon which the action of the ~ gastric juices makes him uncomforta ble all the night. If he proposes to -try our experiment he will sit down and eat a tolerably hearty msal. He is unaccustomed to this at that hour and has a sense of discomfort with it. He : may &ry it once or twice, or even long . er, and then he gives it up, satisfied ~ that for him it is a failure. . The true course is to begin with just onc or two mouthfuls the last thing be fore going to bed. And this should be light food, easily digested. No cake ;or pastry should be tolerated. One - mouthful of cold roast beef, cold lamb, . cold chicken, and a little crust of bread ~"mll. do to begin with, or, what is bet ~ ter yet, a spoonful or two of condensed 4”vlmlk (not the sweetened that comes in I,jic:ms) in three times as much warm _ water. Into this cut half a pared peach ;n,xmd two or three ltttle squares of bread, g&fie whole to be one-fourth or one-sixth .of what would be a light lunch. . e i | hereaso this very grad.ually, until atJ ' patient may indulge in a bowl of milk, . two peaches, with a half hard roll or a LT s e L e Y after midnight, but cating the comfort able meal is the last thing we do every night of the year. This s not an un tried experiment or one depcnding on the testimony of a single witness.— American Analyst. e ——— They Split the Difference. Adjutant- General Mullen was in a reminiscent mocd. “I will tell you a little experience I hal down in Louis. iana in 1862,” he said. *‘l was a mem ber of the Connecticut Volunteers. The opposing armics hal co>me into pretty close quarters, and Confederate out pickets, stragglers and skirmishers were around: us and doing considerable mischief. Three companies of our reg iment were ordered out on skirmish duty. 'We marched down, five paces apart, according to regulations, into a perfect morass. The water was waist deep every where. *I am not very fall, and found it necessary to hold up my cartridge belt to keep it from getting saturated. The Confederates were scattered through this swamp, and we took a number of prisoners without opening fire. I met with a misfortune. My foot caught be neath a couple of parallel branches be neath the water, and I was securely pinioned. My companions continued on their way while I struggled hard to extr'cate myself from my uapleasant predicament. I finally pulled my foot out with a desperate effort, but my shoe was left behind. Icould only secure it by plunging my head beneath the surface of slimy, noxious, muddy water, but it had to be done. Ihadl no sooner got the shoe tied on again than a Confederate came in sight from behind some bushes. Intuitively our muskets were simultancously raised. ~ “Surrender!’ thundered the Confed erate. ' “Surrender yoursell? I returned at the top of my lungs. “Then we stood and eyed each other. Each had his gun cocked and levelled at the other, but neither pulled a trig ger. Why we hesitated is more than I can explain. By delaying, you see, each was practically placing himself at the mercy of the other, or so it would scem. Suddeniy the Confederate’s gun [ dropped and I brought mine down i also. ¢ “‘Seec here, Yank,’ he began, in a much milder tone, 4f I should shoot you my side wouldn’t gain much; and, again, if you should shoot me your side wouldn’t gain much. Now, I've got a wife and two babies over yonder, and if you dropped me they wouldn't have nobody to take care of them. Now, I it's a blamed mean man what won't split the difference. T'lllet you go i i you’ll let me go, and we'll call the thing } square. What do you say? “Well, what should I'say? I walked over half way, and we met and shook ‘hands and parted. About a year after a letter came to our camp addressed to ‘Little Yankee that split the differ— } ence.” Ihad told him my regiment, you see, but not my name. = The letter - was a cordial invitation to visit the man at his home in Louisiana. He wanted ‘me too see the wife and babies whose “members had prompted him to propose to split the difference, and I have al ‘ ways regretted that I was unable to ac cept the invitation.’—St. Pawl Pioneer Press. B 0 ‘ The Child of the Future. ~ Itisa dreadful point about these microbes that the only way to avoid having them in a virulent form is to have them in an artificial or attenuated form. The children of the future will not run through the present gamut of infantile disease, but they will probab ly be subjected to inoculation with various microbes every foew months, First, they will be vaccinated for small pox; when they have recovered from that they will be taken to a Pasteur in stitute to have a mild form of rabies. Next, they will be given a dose of the comma bacciili to prevent cholera, and so on throughall the ever-growing series of disease microbes. Oh!luckless child of the future! you will never be ill and never be well; your health will never be awfully monotonous; you will never know the weariness of the first night of measles, svhen it was so nice to lie in mother’s lap and feel her cool hand on your forehead; you will never know the joys of convalescence, When oranges (0T o Ton oy An Alaska Beverage, ‘‘People have remarks tomake adverse to whisky,” said a naval officer to a Washington B:m‘reiartcr, “‘but there is many another drink in this world to which old rye or Kentucky bourbon is as milk for babes., For instance, there is the ‘hootchenoo’ of the Chileats of southern Alaska. Doubtless the method of distillation of this remarkable bever age was originally suggested to the Chil cats by United States soldiers, Any sort of vegetables made into a ‘mash’ is employed as raw material. The mash is put in a large tin ean,which is connected with another tin can just like it by the tube of a hollow vegetable stem that grows to a length of many feet in those regions. A fire is built under the can that contains the mash and the alcoholie properties pass over into the other ves sel. The natives drink the liquor thus distilled and are dviven wild by it, ] have seen something of the way It oper ates in the course of certain naval exper iences on the Alaskan coast. Very likely you have heard of the style in which certain dwellers in that clime celebrate their arrival at the maximum of worldly fortune. Once in a while it occurs that a big man finds himself in possession of SIO,OOO, mostly in the shape of blankets, such being the currency of that part of the world. He has been working for that end all his life and he emphasizes its ac complishment by giving a festival, cailed a ‘pot-latch,’ during which he spends or distributes in the shape of presents all that he has gathered together in the shape of property. Incidentally, the popular drink 1s served ad libitum, and the guests begin the fun with the wildest orgies, winding up at length with a general pandemonic celebration. clawing and chewing and generally trying to de stroy cne another to the best of their wbility.” SPRING I 8 HERE, The pickerel now comes up the stream, The hens have redder combs, The moonstruck youthshave warmer dreams The editor gets ‘‘pomes.” The housewite talks of cleaning™day, The husband begins to think Of some device to run away And rather take to drink.

Gaffney informs us that the toww of Downieville is at present inhabited by quitea number of deer that were cap tured during the storm the past two months. They walk around town, and are as tame as cattle, some of them going up to children on the street to eat food and delicacies given them, One band of fourteen were found near the banks of the river, above town. They were all bunched in the snow and left over night. The next day those who found them picked out what they wanted and brought them to town, where in a few days they became perfectly tame. Some are kept tied in stables, and some wander around town at will, returning to the barn when they have had their exercise. The town dogs do not disturb them when out.— [Nevada City Herald.
