EATING BEfORE SLEEFIKO. Rating belore sleeping, now so ccn erally recommended by physicians to those troubled by insomnia result ing from nervous trouble, is not a very difficult prescription to fill, but the determination of the question just what to eat is not infrequently puz zling. One who has experimented for years names a glass of warm milk as a good nightcap for many, while for people who have a tendency to bilious ness it will not do at all. To the lat ter buttermilk, not too cold, is said to be the best of night caps. Warm milk with vichy is also recommended. Oranges and, to a certain extent, hot and sour lemonade are good for all. On this point the journal of the American Medical Association says : 4'iIost students and women who are troubled with insomnia are dyspeptic, they should, therefore cat before going to bed, having put aside work emirely at least an hour before. If they are not hungry they should simply be in structed to eat, and it they are hungry they Bhould eat whatever they want. A glass of milk and a biscuit is some times all that can be taken at first, or mashed potatoes, buttered From the t'incinatti Commercial Gazette. A Sullivan County Girl. she has a pet dker that follows her like mary's lamb. Miss Margaret Waterman, a rosy cheeked country maiden of twenty two is the mistress of a handsome pet, says an exchange. She is the oldest daughter of Farmer Clarence L. Wat erman, whose broad acres table on the hillsides of the lower part of Jackson Hollow, Sullivan county, Pa., and her pet is a beautiful tame buck named Byron. Miss Waterman caught Byron when he was a very young fawn. That was two years ago last Spring, and from that day to this Byron has never followed anyone except his fair captor. She teaches the district school, and her handsome pet ac companies her to the school house in the morning, browses in the nearby woodland, and rests himself until school is out, when he canters out of the thicket, bounds to the side of his mistress, licks her hand, and walks home ' with her. Dogs give Byron all the roadway, for if they don't he . pitches at them, gives them a clip with his sharp hoofs and sends them off yelping. Hyron sticks to Miss Waterman closer than a brother, and whenever she goes to the village they shut him up in a pen. During her ab sence he is unhappy, and when she returns and liberates him he bleats for joy, licks her hands, and romps about as though he had been imprisoned a month. Cameron Voted as the Farmers Believe. Senator Cameron can bear the howl ings of the radical politicians against his course in the United States Senate in voting to set aside the Federal elec tion bill, in order to take up other business necessary to the welfare of the country. The great majority of the farmers of Pennsylvania are heart ily tired of hearing about this impracti cal bill which has consumed so much of the time of both houses of Congress to the detriment of other important measures. Senator Cameron has also voted on the silver question in accord ance with the views of the great body of Patrons of Husbandry in the United States, as repeatedly expressed by resolutions of the National Grange and different State Granges. The Senator's position shows an independence of the opinions of radi cal politicians which is highly com mendable, and the great majority of the people of Pennsylvania will be glad to knowjthat for six years to come they will have a United States Senator who can rise above mere partisan legislation. From the Mechanics burg Farmer's Friend. Kuew His Denomination Even in Stamps. Constituents make a great mistake in sending new and inexperienced men to the Legislature every session or two. They not only do an injust ice to themselves but to the State at large. It takes a bright man to "catch onto" the ways of legislation in one session, anil until he is initiated he is like a blind pup at a barn raising only in the way. Some of the raw material from the rural districts will be a long time in developing into Clays and Websters. As a sample of their unsophisticatedness, a member from a western county, when he re ceived his order for postage stamps, went to the city post office and asked for them. "What denomination?" asked the clerk. "Lutheran," replied the member modestly, but he could not for the life of him see what that had to do with the matter in hand.

Eva Hamilton has laid aside her weeds.

When we leave this world of changes, When we leave this world of care, We shall find our missing loved ones In our Father's mansion fair. While you lived with us, dear father, Thou didst suffer great distress, But you have left us and our mother And gone home there to be blessed. You have left me, dearest husband And have gone with Christ to dwell; Tis God that hath bereft me, He can all my sorrow heal.

Hood's Sarsaparilla has accomplished wonders for thousands subject to rheumatism. Try it yourself. A Dog's Teeth Pilled With Gold- A traveling dentist that now and then visits Birmingham has a pet dog whose decayed front teeth are filled with gold. The dog had the tooth ache some time ago, and his master, after examining the decayed teeth, fill ed out the cavities very neatly and put several dollars' worth of gold into them The dog kicked vigorously against the operation and howled too, but some one held him in the chair, and the dentist performed the job successfully. When the dog grins the gold filling gleams beautifully. Cor. New York Sun Mrs. P. T. Earnum is forty; hci husband is double that age.

Their mode of killing them is by shooting into them from a heavily charged smooth boro musket a heavy slug of lend, copper, or iron, then await ing their clmrgo, which never fails to follow tho shot, with a long, heavy, and strongly innde spenr, resting the butt of the weapon ou tho ground and planting one foot firmly against it. Tho point of the spear rests at 1111 nnglo to pierce the bear in tho breast, nnd tho Lear's own weight, when it strikes tho spear in its mad chnrge, is calculated to drive tho weapon through him or pierce him deep enough to came death. As will bo read ily seen, if at this critical moment tho hunter's courage should fail him, or I y a miscalculation tho spear failed to im pale the charging beast, tho hunter would be knocked senseless nnd imme diately torn into shreds This mode of bear hunting may have its advantages, but only the Alaska Indian lias the cour age to try the experiment. Evrry Man Ills Own Grr' IHaxrr. General AVintleld Scott had no feelings of compassion for dissipated men nnd had his own ideas ns to tho proper remedy for intemperance. One of his military orders, given w lion he was in command at Kock Island, in 1832, which has been discovered in tho Iowa State library, throws som light oil his pecul iar notions 011 this subject The order is copied in full in tlio current number of tlio Magazine of American History nnd relates to the appearance of cholera among the soldiers at Rock Island nnd to tho sanitary measures to bo pursued. Various precautions in the way of clean liness, the use of flannel clothing, etc., nre recommended on tho authority of tho physicians, but, the order continues: "Thocommauding general, who has seen much of the disease, knows that it is in temperance which, iu tho present state of the atmosphere, generates nnd spreads the calamity, nnd that, when once spread, good nnd' temperate men are likely to take the infection, lie therefore imperatively commands that every soldier or ranger who shall be found drunk or sensibly intoxicated after the publication of this order le compelled as soon as his strength will permit, to dig a grave nt a suitable burying place large enough for his own reception, as such a grave can not fail soon to be wnuted for the drunken man himself or some drunken companion. This-order is given as well to serve for the punishment of drunkoiiiiess as to spare good nnd temperate men tho labor of digging graves for their worthless companions. " Snnka Swallowed tha llnby. George Wharton, of Brown county, tells a blood curdling snake story. Mri William Iluxelly, living in n log cabin, was making soap in the back yard, hav ing kissed her sn eotlittlo 0 months babe to sleep in tlio cradle. Proseutly tho baby screamed, nnd she rushed in and was horror stricken to find a hideous blitcksuak'i of enormous size trying to swallow the child. ' It had engulfed tho hand and swallowed it up to the arm pit and was writhing in its contortions and efforts to make further progress. Grasping the hideous reptile in the mid dle, it seemed to relax its hold and ilis gorgt the child's arm, then turned upon its mother. She dashed it to tho floor, and in her wild frenzy stamped it to death. It proved to be of tho black racer species, 7 foot 3 inches long, and measuring 6 inches iu circumference. Tho baba live 1, and the only inconven ience it suffered from its terrible ex peiienco was that its arm and hand were blistered as if scalded in hot water. Cincinnati Enquirer.

A REAL LUKURYl Looking out over the many homes of this country, we see thousands of women wearing away their lives in household drudgery that might be materially lessened by the use of a few cakes of SAPOLIO. If an hour is saved each time a cake is used, if one less wrinkle gathers upon the face because the toil is lightened, she must be a foolish woman who would hesitate to make the experiment, and he a churlish husband who would grudge the few cents which it costs. If your grocer sends you anything in place cf SAPOLIO, send it back and insist upon having just what you ordered. SAPOLIO always gives satisfaction. On flaors, tables, and painted work it acts like a charm. For scouring pots, pans, and metals it has no equal.
