A 8-year-old child, with glowing cheeks and sparkling eyes, holding tightly clasped in his chubby fingers a bright new penny, was toddling with all tlio possible speed of his littlo limbs towara tho nearest candy storo. Ho camo to tho crossing just as a teamster cAmo along with a heavily laden truck which taxed tlio horses' strength to tho utmost. Tho child started for tho opposite sidowalk, but stopped hesitatingly on seeing tlio wagon. With a loud "Whoa!" tlio drivor pulled ?p his horses, ami with i a smilo lighting up his rugged faco { I wared his whip, motioning for tho littlo fellow to proceed. The boy ? &? across tho street, and, turning around when ho reached the pavement, stood for an instant watching tho horses as thoy tugged and strained to start their heavy load again. Then ho raised his ' hands to his lips and wafted a kiss at ! tho driver, who lifted his hat with courtly gtneo and then wafted baek the littlo lovo messenger. Then there were further interchanges ot kisses and smiles, an<J tho wagon rolled down tho street and the littlo gpntloman toddled on toward tho candy store. ?Chicago Tribune.

A correspondent of Llio Lancet hap,found tho following to bo m effectual remedy in his own' case: After takitig a deep inspiration ho lipids lis breath till discomfort is felt, then repeats tho process a 6tcond and a third time. As a rulo this is enough to projuro sleep. A slight degree of asphyxia is thus relied on ns a soporific agent, but tho theoretical correctness of this met nod is 6omowbnt open to question. Certainly thero is' proof to show that tho daily expenditure of oxygen is mq6t active during the waking period, and that nightly sleep appears to coincide with a period of deficient tL>sua oxygenation, it is at least as probable, howevet*, that other influences aro associated with tho production and timely recurrence of sleep besides that just referred to. This plan, moreover, however effectual andi beneof deficient oxygenation is to increnso blood pressure and slow tlio licnrt's action. Witb a normal organ, as aif occasional occurrence, this migiit not bo of much consequence. If, however, tho impeded heart should also be enfeebled by disease, the experiment might bo repcatod once top often. Another combatant in tho struggle with insomnia lays down a scries of rules, for the most part very sensible, to which ho pins his, faith' Considering that tho chief causes of sleeplessness aro worry and tho want of a due amount of exercise and fresh air, he advises his fellow sufferers to obsprvo tho ordinary rules of liygieno relating to such matters, to tako food and drink in -.moderation and to avoid of mi evening tho nso of ton, cofTeo and tobacco. In dealing with severo nervous irritation from mental or physical work, ho has found a daily rest an almost essential preludo to steep at night. Thus hO treats of sleeplessness rather as a - tendency requiring constitutional remedies than a eymptoueof mere brain excitation. Thcro is much to bo said for his theory and means of treatment.? Therapeutic Gazette. Various Hints Concerning Diat. Children, especially young girls, aro rarely properly dieted.

A plentiful supply ctf meat should bo eaten ut least onco da^ly, and, his at breakfast, when tho body needs roistering for tho day's \*ork, anji when .hedigestivo tract is empty. Taken then, svith moderate exercise, such food is promptly assimilated and goes whero it Joes most good, directly into tho Wood.

An elderly lady came to mo not long ago and said that it was no manner of use; she could not sleep if sho ito anything before she went to bed. "What had you for supper last night, madam?"

"7 . The Recall of the Hawka. Tho recall was interesting mid forms one of tho most wonderful features in hawking. It was nchioved by tho falconer calling out several times with a loud, far reaching cry, "coomabce I coomabeel" an evident corruption of "como (or coonie) my bird." Tho falconer's voico at onco arrested attention as being, from long practice, what authorities declare it ought to be, "full, clear and loud" if not ''tremulousj" whence ho jvas designated as "tho sonorous falconer." Theso qualities wero moro than onco required that day when tho hawk flow afar; but Peter's voice never tailed to reach her and securo her return. Tho cry varied with different men and in different places, being with some a long drawn "hoi hoi" and witty others "hool ha-ha-ha I" oil, however, being known as the "hollowing" of the falooner. Ip this first encounter the recall was quite fornh Sfitt* of her disappointment ibid hovering watchfully for the reappearance of the lost quarry, tho hawk at once obediently returned to tho falconer's wrist. She was then smartly hooded and set upon tl^o cage, for both the falconer arid the laiH successfully achieved this- rather jdifllcult feat. There she took her place in silence, and apparently without discomposure, among her fellows, who had betrayed not tho slightest excitement during tills clamorous passago of arms. ?

All that hus been ueoessary c was to put something in u sack or bar- t rel and brand souio unusual or peculiar f name on it. 1 do not accuse manufacturers c of fraud, but do accuse my brother v funneis of being tho biggest ?ot of ? fools' thoro tertn all tho laud, and tho i writer tho king of fools, or tbo biggest t Fool of all. '* ",l' * ' s For several years I bought ammoniated fertilisers at high prices, arid applied in connection with cotton seed meal or ' cotton seed in the natural state. After j spending thousands of dollars in this ' foolish way/., I-dropped the nuimoniated 1 goods to-a great degree and bought acid ( phosphate and acidulated rock, audmix- 1 ed it half acid or acidulated rock nnd ' half cotton seed meal. Three or four years ago I concluded I had enongh sulphuric acid and phosphate in my c laud, and began to put in less phosphate 1 and commercial fertilisers, and brought it down to one hundred noun da w> h 1 what ever amount of uiool L us$d per ' acre. I am uow satisfied that where c lands l.nve beeu continuously planted in ' cotton, that it js unnecessary to apply ' coiuiucrcial fertilizers of any kind; the ' land needs rest fioui them for at least 1 one year. If you buy at all, only bay 1 to uiix with uieal, where your plant 11 < u lands that were grown in some- u thing beside cotton, and put uot over ouc u hundred pounds to tho acre. There 8 are various reasons for this. By using * little or no commercial fertilizer the plaut will start off in the sprirg a little $ slow, will havo less fruit in July and $ stand the July and August drought, j Take the lower and middle cotton belts ] of the cotttJb States and we want to fc make a late or August crop. We need |i but little if any commercial fertilizer, p The upper or clay belts need a . little <] to get a July and Angust crop, will suy t ouotpoLud of, commercial ,4o three ol* a meal or its equivalent of seed. The t clay lauds do not require any katuit or % potash. ? This is not all theory. I know what I I aui talking about* _ * I know it from a actual practice. if the farmers of tho i cotton iountry who buy commercial for- 1 tifzera will adopt this plan, say Use at I least one-third of the amount they have I been iu the habit using it will add many millions to their purses, and enable them to pay for fertilizer they.foolishly thrown away. Don't blame the men who manfacturo or.sell the fertilizers. We have encouraged thcui; and the demand is niW so great that wo can't be supplied, t except at a price beyond our reach. The v high price will coutinue. It is iuipossi- 1 ble to check it in any way, except by i giving the laud rest for 6ay ouo year. 1 If you make the experiment one i year ypu will continuo it, and prices w-11 for many years be in duo bounds , Our manufacturers do not claim that the home demand has increased so much but foreign demand. Just let the 1 foreigners have it all this year, wo wilt savo millions. Wo will have as much or more cotton, and pay up back indebtedness. Let tho agricultural clubs, the Al- j lianees and Granges consider this mat- J ter. It there are no societies in your , neighborhood, call the neighbors togoth- | er and calmly consider this matter. If | you caonot do this let every farmer de- , cidc for himself, and say I will for one | year let my land rest from fertilizers s It will not look so bright for us in May t and June, but October and Ndveuiber f will show you where the millions have ( been foolishly spent for the last twenty years. s I have been told of late that farmers oould not buy it; that his only chance was to get it through his or some one eIso's merchant. This may bo truo to some extent. Of courpe money enough i will buy it, but we don't need it. Thai is the subject for us to consider, and let them that huvo it keep it. Spin out your cotton seed from fifteeu to twenty bushels to the acre. Mix the stable manoro fino and spread it with the hand. Make it go over a large area instead of carelessly throwing it down in pilee from a pitchfork. Too many fertilizers are dangerous. They have never done the great amount of good WC have imagined. Good and proper cultivation pays belter than large quantities of fertilizers. There is such a thing as too muoh ammonia, and we oftener put too | much than enough. The phosphate and kainitor potash sultare there to stay. Our land needs rest from commercial fertilizers as much as they do rotation. 1 am almost tempted to say if you take my udrico in this matter and it proves wroDg, appoint a day next fall and hang me.
