Analysis of Fertilizers. Mr Ashley failed to get the senate to pass his bill reducing the privilege tax on fertilizers to 10 cents a ton But he was more successful with his bill to provide that a purchaser of chemical fertilizers may have the same analyzed free of cost at Clem son college The act, which was approved by the governor on the I9ib, reads : Section 1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of the State of South Carolina : That from and after the passage of this act, any citizen of this State who ahall purchase any commercial fertil izera or manures, shall have the right to have the aame analyzed by GlemsoD Agricultural and Moobanical college, by taking a sample of same from at least 10 per cent of such fertilizers in the presence of at least two disinterested witnesses, one to be chosen by the purchaser and one by the seller, who aball certify that such sample was taken from such fertiliaers or manures, which certifi cate, with the sample, ahall be sealed by a third disinterested party in the presence of said witnesses, and di? rected to Clemaon Agricultural and Mechanical college. Sec 2 The aaid college ahall have the aaid aample analyzed free of cost, and within three months after receiv? ing the aample supply shall furnish the purchasers of such fertilizers or manures with a certificate giving the per cent of the different fertilizing ingredients of same, signed by the chemist of Clemson Agricultural and Mechanical college, which certificate ahall be admissible aa evidence in all suits relative to auch fertilizers or manures, whether the same be inati tuted by the veudor or purchaser of same Seo 3 That any vendor of com? mercial fertilizers or manures whose goods or wares fall short to the ez tent of 10 per cent in any fertilizing ingredient guaranteed by the analy ais on the sack or vessel hoidiug same, when delivered to the pur chaser, ahall forfait one-half the sale price thereof, to be recovered by suit oT set up as a counter-claim to an actiou for the purchase price of such fertilizers or manures Seo 4. Be it further euacied : That if any eeller or vendor of fertilizers or commercial manures shall refuse, decline or neglect to choose a wit ness, as provided in section 1, after having been notified or requested by the purchaser so to do, then be t>r they shail have forfeited their right ao to do, and the purchaser snail select two witnesses, who shall select the third witness, who shall proceed to take samples as hereinbefore pro vided All samples of fertilizers drawn under the provisions of this act Khali be subject to such other rules as may be prescribed by the the board ol trustees of Clemson ool ipge, not inconsistent with this act. >ec 5 All acts and partu ol acts inconsistent with this act be, and the same are hereby, repealed - ? ? ? - ?

After a long interval of waiting, the manager stepped forward, remark lug: - "Ladles and gentlemen, I regret to say that Mine. Pattl Is unable to ap? pear tonight.

The May One Should LI? In Bed In Order to Obtain Natural Rape**. ViirloiiM Ailment* and the PoHtarca lieitt \dnpted to Them. Positions that woo sloop In victims of iusomuia is nu Interesting study made by a well known metropolitan physician. Whitman V. White of Brooklyn. Dr. White is a specialist on nervous diseases and in a mild but emphatic manner scores his pro? fessional brethren for their free admin* istration of narcotics. He denounces the practice as unnecessarily taxing on the disorganized systems of insom? nia patients in many cases. In his own experience he has found a simple method adequate without weakening after effects likely to produce increas? ed symptoms. 'Through a study based on the laws of physiology In human anatomy ex? tending over a period of a dozen t more years I have learned that undei certain physical malconditions," said i the physician, "the subject may be I given relief by assuming positions a' rest that will from the ease afforded the affected parts serve as a natural somnolent agency. It will be readily understood that a constrained position will tend to prevent natural repose, while a comfortable one will woo It But what may in most cases seem to be a position of ease may in reality be the reverse. "For Instance, a dyspeptic will rest more easily lying on the right side for the simple reason that in that position the food naturally gravitates out of the stomach and into the intestines, while if lying on the opposite side that or? gan, in Its weakened state, has to per. form an uphill process of digestion. This is amply sufficient to produce In? somnia. "Lying flat on the back, with the limbs relaxed, would seem to secure the greatest amount of rest for the* muscular system, whether in good health or illness. Such is the position advocated by physicians generally in the most exhausting diseases, and it is hailed as a sign of rapid recovery when a patient exhibits an inclination to turn on either side. But at the same time there are several disadvantages In the supine posture which impair 01 embarrass sleep, whether In case ol severe illness or ordinary health. Thus In weakly states of the heart or blood vessels and certain morbid conditions of th,? brain the blood seems to gravi? tate to the back of the head aud to ac? cordingly produce troublesome dreams. I believe that much of that weaken? ing delirium which the physician has to contend with in treating serious .maladies is often occasioned in this way. "In persons who habitually stoop In their gait or work, either as a result of the requirements of their occupa? tio::! or from the course of their physi? cal development, there must necessari? ly be some distress consequent iu straightening tbe spine. It may not be sufficient to cause pain and yet bo such n strain as to prevent perfect ease. The result is unconscious rest? lessness, which is the producer of in somnla. "People who have contracted chest* cannot sleep well lying upon their backs. This rule applies especially to those who have suffered with pleurisy and retain adhesions of the lungs. Tbej will find it easier to get to sleep upon tin* right sfde and that, their somnolent rest will do them more good if they observe this advice. Furthermore, the habit of lying on the back is the ere Stor of snoring, which much belabors sleep aud prevents the subject from receiving the full benefit of its recuper atbg effects. "It is desirable, therefore, in all cases to 'i\c on the side, and in the absence ol special diseases rendering it more de sirable to lie on the weak side, which leaves the strong lung free to expand, the1 right ?ide should be chosen. A glance at any plate of the visceral anatomy Will show that when the body Is thus placed the food in the process of digestion is greatly aided iu its passage from the stomach into the in? testines. Here the principle of gravi? tation directly applies. Then the fact that the stomach doesn't compress the upper portion of the intestines is still another advantage to be gamed from lying on the right side when sleep wooing ease to the entire human mech snlsm is under serious consideration. "In conclusion, 1 wish to refer tc some injurious eccentricities, or fads, in sleeping which I have observed. A wealthy woman ouce came to me foi treatment for bad dreams of the or? der commonly called nightmare. Up? on making Inquiry I discovered that she was In the habit of lying at rest with her arms thrown up over het head, a position greatly to be deprecat? ed, although it will induce sleep in per? sons who have weak lungs. The cir? culation Is thereby made stronger in the extremities, and the head and neck and muscles of the chest are drawn up and relaxed by the shoulders."? Philadelphia Times. t ncoiiMt itntionnrf.
