There are some curious incihents on record of' sleeping and waking. In Turkey, if a persona happens to falil a sleep in Lth neighborhood of a poppy field, and the wind blows over towards him, he becomes gradia ly narcoticis c:, and witlhl die if the country p cople, who are well aequainted with the oir cunstance, did not bring himi to the nlext well!a s -treatj , ond cil ty pitch er after pitcher on his thee anl body. .br. Oppenheim, during his re-iaience in Turkey, owed his life to this simiple mnd ef~iencious treatment. Dr. Glraves, from whom this anecdote is quoted, also reports the case of a gentleman. thirty years of age, who iron long conl ilitued sleepiness, was redneed to a bomplete living skeleton, unable to -stand on his legs. It was partly ow ing to disease, but chiefly to the use fit mierctty and oiiiinm, until at last. inable to pursue his business, Ie samk into abject poverty and Woe.

General Pichtegru, according to Sir Gilbert Blante, htad only one hour sleep in the same space of time for a whtoie year. The venerable St. Au gustine, of Hippo, ptrutdently dIi vidled htis hours inito thiree pairts; eight he devoted to sleep, eight to recreation, -and eight to conv'erse with theo world. Deoivjre slept twentty hours onut of the twenty-four-.
