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. .

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.

‘ 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

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.
The garter snake has wriggled out
To sun itself and thaw,
And evidence is all about
That nature's come to taw. .

Deer Come to Town to Live.
D. L. 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.—
