How to Sleep at Night.
The habit of taking any of the narcotic
or sleep-producing medicines is a most
pernicious one, and never fails to weaken
the general health, and increase the very
evil it is meant to relieve. Alcohol, opi
um, camphor, bromide of potassium, ex
tract of hemlock, henbane, hops, and In
dian hemps, arc all used in their turn to
calm sensitive nervous systems, and invoke
the drowsy god. They are each and all
to be condemned, more especially the last
mentioned. If any man wishes to feel a
bigger lbol thau usual on any particular
day, let him go to sleep on the previous
night under the influence of Indian hemp,
lie will awake with a head judged by his
own feelings as large as a kettle-drum,
and just as empty.
lut of all narcotics, hydrate of chloral,
now so much in use, is the worst. The
dangerous drug, first introduced into
pharmacopoeia about four or five years ago,
is now in daily use among a large section
of the public, not only a3 a narcotic, but,
in smaller doses, as an intoxicant. The
sensation produced by its use is similar to
that from a dose of '"hasheesh" a mixture
of Indian hemp and opium. This dose
must be increased, and in every case, after
a few months, a new disease called ehlora
lism is induced. This is characterized by
an entire collapse of nervous energy ; the
power of volition is lust, the patient be
comes emaciated, suffers from extreme rest
lessness, burning pains in the head and eye
balls, and pains resembling those of rheuma
tism in the limbs and alonr the course of
the larger veins ; he gets weaker and weak
er, and finally dies from failure of the heart's
action.
The best-natured narcotic and the only
medicine for the cure of sleeplessness i.i
ozone. Inhale it ; seek it on the moun
tain's brow ; seek it on on the sea shore far
from town and turmoil, far from care and
trouble. How the mountain air rejuve
nates the system ! how the breezes that
blow from off the blue water calm and
soothe the nerves ! uIt is a delicious mo
ment," says an old book, "that of being
well nested in bed and feeling that you will
drop gently to sleep. The limbs have just
been tried enough to render the remaining
in one postured lightful. The labor tf the
day is over. A gentle failure of the per
ceptions come creeping over one ; the spirit
of consciousness disengages itself more
by degrees, like a mother detaching her
hand from a sleeping infant. The mind
seems to have a balmy lid closing over it
like the eye. 'Tis closing 'tis closed ;
and the mysterious spirit has gone to take
its airy rounds."
Contrast this with the condition of a
man suffering from insomnia. lie needed
rest, oh ! so much. Ilis mind needs it ;
but his overstretched brain capillaries fail
to contract : so he tosses about on his bed
in va"in- Hr after hour goes by, and
still he sleeps not, while troublesome, tir
ing thoughts chase each other through his
burning brain, until, perhaps, toward morn
ing, nature exhausted at last, his busy
thoughts resolve themselves into harrassing
dreams, and he sinks for awhile into insen
sibility (we cannot call it sleep) to 1 ise from
his couch more tired and unrelreshed than
when he lay 'down.

Paris Green on Potatoes.
At a recent meeting of the Acadeny of
Natural Sciences, in lMiiladelphia, the sub
ject of the application of mineral poisons to
plants, for the purpose ot destroying
noxious insects, was discussed. "Jr. le
Contc said that although Paris green was
believed to be insoluble, still, when applied
in quantity to growing plants, it will kill
them as well as the larvaj of insects. Dr.
Krnig said that tho death of the plant is
owing to the fact that the Paris green
undergoes certain chemical changes when iu
connection with leaves, which destroys the
water cell: of the growing plant, causing it
to wither. Ho thought this substance
should not be used on plants. Colonel
lirvan referred to the poisonous character
of the beetles which infested the potato
vines, and that the instances in which this
character was noticed were of beetles taken
from fields in which Paris green had been
used. Le Contc expressed his belief that
hand labor would be the most appropriate
way of dealing with the potato beetle. 31 r.
Spcakman counselled the examination oi
the plants as soon as they appear above
round, and dwelt upon the importance of
crushing the clusters of orange-colored eggs
on the under side of the leaves.
31 r. Deeeher declares that he will preach
so long as there are sinners to listen, and
the New Yolk Heraltl thinks this is noble,
if he be innocent, but something very low
in its defence of the law. It is manifest

A correspondent of the Santa llosa, Cab,
Times writes : "Their wigwams are built
throughout of redwood bark, and are round
iu shape, w hich can be better explained by
sayiug that they are iu the shape of a bowl
upside down, with a smaller one placed also
upside down on the top. There are no win
dow, and aside from the aperture for en
trance, which is about two feet square, and a
small opening at th-3 top to allow the smake
to escape, there is no opening to this conical
shaped enclosure. To enter one of these
huts it becomes necessary to get down and
crawl in. Once inside a strange sight greets
the eje The majority of both sexes are
perfectly naked, and, being scrupulously
particular each one does his or her own
cooking. They sleep in a circle iu hollow
places in the ground, with feet to the centre.
Their cooking apparatus, which consists of
good-sized rocks hollowed out, is in conven
ient reach, and the Digger need not rise to
prepare his breakfast. The food consists f
bread made from acorns, which are first
buried, then roasted, then pulverized, and
lastly mixed up with water and baked. This
bread is said to be very nourishing. Their
mode of preparing squirrel, hare, etc., is to
take them just as when killed, pound them
to a jelly and then roast them. Another
article of food very common with them is
known as the 'fish worm.' The Digger is
an inveterate gambler, and his principal
game is very simple, consisting of holding
both bands behind him, in one of which is
a stick, while another bets he can tell in
which hand he holds it. It is stated that
they scorn cheating, and after the bets are
made, never chang
hand to the other.

Their money consists
of little
round shells with a hole in the
center, which one of their
number is
selected to manufacture. X"o counterfeiting
is ever attempted. Each shell resprcsents
about half a cent of American money, and
is taken by their tribe as greedily as gold.
A string of their money can be seen at this
office, and it is wonderful how uniform
these buttons can be made by simply
rubbing them on stone with the hand."
A MORMON
TlIM POLYGAM.IST WOMEN AND CHILDREN.
Orson Pratt, one of the twelve Apostles
of Mormonism, and who, in point of in
telligence and oratorical power, is chief of
them all preached a sermon on the his
tory of the lormouism from its commence
ment down to the present. All the pro
phecies in Isaiah, Jeremiah and Daniel,
which Catholic and Protestant Divines from
the days of the Apostles down until the
present, have applied to Christ, he applied
to their great prophet, Joe Smith. lie
made it clear to his own mmd perhaps that

ot the Latter-day fcaints here in Ltah. lhe
most curious thing about this whole affair A woman's rights sort of a turkey gob
was that the Apostle Pratt seemed to be- bier in Newliu township, Chester county,
lievc what he said, and seemed sincere in drove a setting turkey off her nest, and has
wanting others to believe it. Many hun
dreds of Gentiles however, who heard him
to the close of his hour and a half sermon
went away with the --same opinion still."

Remedy for Cabbage Worms.
Hellebore, lime, salt and similar sub-
taiiees have been used with varied success
for the destruction of cabbage worms. It
is now stated that bran and buckwheat flour
answer the same purpose better than any
other remedies that have been tried, lhe

to go over the plants the second time. A
hundred weight of bran is sufficient for an
acre. It must be applied when the worns
are young. hen they are full grown or
very strong, it does not appear to affect
them. The buckwheat flour is sifted upon
them by means of a seive, in the evening
or in the morning when the dew is on the
plants. If one application does not destroy
the worms a second should be made. It is
palpable that wheat flour, fine Indian meal
or any other pulverulent farinaceous sub
stance would have the same effect
