As a rule this is enough to proeuro sleep. A slight degre** of asphyxia is t hus relied on as a soporific agent, but tho theoretical correctness^of this method is somewhat open to question. Certainly there is' proof to show that tho daily expenditure of oxygen is mqfct active during the waking period, and that nightly sleep appears to coincide with a period of deficient tissue oxygenation. It is at least as probable, however, that other influences nro associated with tho production and tiuioly recurrcnco of sleep besides that just referred to. Tins plan, moreover, however effectual and bene* ftaal. thft jcaaa of its author,, is not without its disa.lvnnfa^r^^.ndoi.c, of deficient oxygenation is to increase blood pressure nud slow tlio heart's action. With a ncrmnl organ, as on occasional occurrence, tliis might not bo of much consequence. If, however, tlio impeded heart should also bo enfeebled by disease, the experiment might ho repeated once toc? often. Another combatant in the struggle with insomnia lays down a series of rules, for the most part very sensible, to which ho pins liia faith# Considering that tlio chief causes of sleeplessness aro worry and tlio want of a due amount of exercise and frcsli air, ho advises |iis fellow sufferers to observo the ordinary rules of hygiene relating to such matters, to tnko food and drink in ,moderation and to avoid of nil evening tho use of tea, coffco and tobacco. In dealing with severe nervous irritation from mental or physical work, ho Has found a daily rest an almost essential proludo to steep at night. Thus he treats of sleeplessness luiiict ua a w. iiurnv,y vuitouiutiouul remedies than a symptom-of mere brain excitation. Thero is much to bo said for his theory and means of treatment.? Therapeutic Gazette. Various Hints Concerning Diet. Children, especially young girls, are rarely properly dieted. Thero is almost universally a repugnance to meat and a hysterical liking for sweets or acids, that is unhealthy. When nerves cry fpr food, they are given a stone, and rebel in consequence. A plentiful supply of meat should bo eaten at least once daily, and, this at breakfast, when the body needs bolstering for tho day's work, and when thodigestivo tract is empty. Tak^n then, with moderate exercise, such food Is promptly assimilated arid goes wliero it does most good, directly into the blood I heartily approve of late suppers, and am convinced that the human animal, liko others, sleeps best upon a stomach tilled with light, digestible food. Of course thero aro idiosyncrasies; thero are many kinds of people, and the kind of food proper for one wcnljd hot sun another; yet thero need bo ho departure fronj tho rule. An elderly lady came to mo not long ago and said that it was no manner of use; she could not 6leop if sho ato anything before 6lio went to bed. "What had you for supper last night, madam?" I asked.

Do not touch it again. Try instead a broiled bird or lamb chop, with a bit of toast." And tho cliango was all sho needed to make her sleep peaceful.?William F. Hutchinson, M. D., in American Magazine. Tlio Itccall of tlio Hawks. The recall was interesting and forms one of tho most wonderful features in hawking. It was achieved by tho falconer calling out several times with a loud, far reaching cry, "coomabee I coomabee!" an evident corruption of "como (or coomc) my bird." Tlio falconer's voice at. once arrested attention as being, from long practice, what authorities declare it ought to be, "full, clear and loud" if not "tremulous;" whence ho was designated as "tho sonorous falconer." These qualities wero more than once required that day when the hawk flew afar; hut Peter's voice never failed to reach her and secure her return. The cry varied with different men and in different places, being with some a long drawn "hoi ho!" and with others "hoo! ha-ha-ha I" all, however, being known as tlio "hollowing" of tho falconer. In this first encounter the recall was quite successful, for, in spite of her disappointment and hovering watchfully for the reappearanco of the lost quarry, tho hawk at once obediently returned to the falconer's wrist. Sho was then smartly hooded ami set upon tho cage, for both the falconer and tho laird successfully achieved this rather difficult feat. There sho took her place in silence, and apparently without discomposure, among her fellows, who had betrayed not tho slightest excitement during this clamorous passago of arms. ? Good Words.

To the Editor of the Acer* and Courier: One yf thp .chief caused of tho i mpoverished condition of tho farmers id the use of too much commercial fertiliser and tho injudicious application of the saute. Ear twenty years wo have bought any and every thiug that has been offered for sale. All that bus boon ueo.ssary was to put something in u sack or barrel aud brand some untHunl or peculiar name ou it. I do not'accuse manufacturers of fruud, but do accuse my brother farmeis of beitis; the bigaost set of fooW thero iferiu nil tho laud, and tho I writec tho -king of fools, or the biggest Fool of all. 1 For several years I bought ammonialed fertilisers at high prices, add applied In connection with Cotton seed meal or on lf.\n con/l art lltA natimal of A UVIIIUU ovvi\? IU ??"VJ u?uiini CVSIUI xiuci spending thousands of dollars in this foolish Wfliy,u I-dropped the auimoniated ffoods to-a great degree and bought aoid phosphate aud acidulated rock, aud mixed it bait' acid or acidulated rock nod half cotton seed meal. Throe or four years ago I concluded I had enough sulphuric acid and phosphate iu my land, and began to put iu less phosphate aud commercial fertilisers, aud brought it dowu to ouc hundred pounds wi h what ever amount of' meal L us<d per acre. I am now satisfied that where laods lave beeu continuously planted in cotton, that it ja unnecessary to apply commercial fertilizers of any kind; tbe land uocds rest fioui them for at loast ouc year. If you buy at all, only bay to mix with meal, where you plant u lands that wero grown in something beside cotton, and put uot over one huudred pounds to tbe acre. There are various reasons for this. Hy using iittlo or no commercial fertilizer the pluut will start off iu the sprint a little slow, will have less fruit in July and stnud the July and August drought. Take the lower and middle cottou belts of the cottdh States and we want to make a late or August crop. We need . but little if any commercial fertilizer. The upper or clay belts need a little to get a July and August crop, will say ouc(pouud of, commercial .40 threo of* meal or its equivalent of seed. The clay lauds do uot require any kaiuit or potash. This is not all theory. I_know what -fTfUrtSttlug about. ... I know it from actual practice. If the farmers of the cnttou ?.ountry who buy commercial fer tir.zers will adopt this plan, nay Use at Ica.st one-third of the amount they have been iu the habit using it will add many millions to their purees, arid enable them to pay for fertilizeis they,foolishly thrown away, Don't blame the men who uianlacture or sell the fertilizrs. Wo have encouraged thcui; and the demand is n,w so great that wo can't be supplied, except at a price beyond our reach. The high price will continue. Tt is impossible to check it in any way, except by giving the land rest for say ouo year. If you make the experiment one year you will contiuuo it, and prices w:ll for many years be in due bouuds. Our manufacturers do not claim that the home demand has increased so much but lorcign demand. Just let the foreigners have it all this year, wo wilt save millions. We will have as much or more cotton, and pay up back indebtedness. Let tho agricultural clubs, the Alliances and Granges oousider this matter. II there are no societies in your neighborhood, call the neighbors together and calmly cousider this matter. If you cannot do this let every farmer decide for himself, and say I will for one year lot my laud rest from fertilizers It will not look so bright for us in May and June, but October and November Ml I t- _ MlT L _ . win .snow you wnere mo minions nave been foolishly spent for the last twenty years. I have been told of late that farmers could not buy it; that his only chance was to set it through his or souie one else's merchant. This inay be true to some extent. Of course money enough will buy it, but we don't uecd it. Thai is the subject for us to consider, and let them that have it keep it. Spin out your cotton seed from tifieeu to twenty bushels to the acre. Mix the stable manure fine and spread it with the hand. Make it go over a large area instead of carelessly throwing it down in piles from a pitchlork. Too many fertilizers are dangerous. They have never done the great amount of good wo have imagined. Good and proper cultivation pays butter than large quantities of fer'ilizers. There is such a thing as too much ammonia, and wc oftener put to" much than enough. The phosphato and kaiuit or potash sultaro there to stay. Our laud needs rest from commercial fertihZi rs as much as they do rotatiou. 1 am almost tempted to say if you tuke my ...I.: ii.:.. ..... 1 :?

The or- 1 ganization began by selecting as many J girls as there were members of the trust, who were divided by lot, the pro- ' vision being that each man should entire- 1 ly monopolize tl e lady assigned to him ( for one month, and to allow no other r man to escort her on foot, on pain of n ' heavy line and imprisonment in a coal I shed until released by the faculty. At c the end of the mouth each member must s 'rade girls with some other member, if called upon to do so. The trust has hoen in operation for I some time and is said to be flourshing. 1 . ? ] Tiiey Lived and Died Together, j ?Caernavoon, Pa.. Jan. 5.?
