It will bo interesting to collect th
ninny remedies thnt lmve been iiiirpesteil
for sleeplessness. A liot slioner but li nt
bed time cleanses the skin niul lucd.s
puses to sleep, it Is clnimed. The one
sure and siifo way is to tuke n brisk walk
of smile or two before going to bod,
nnd then after the walk holding thu head
under a stream of cold water. This,
however, should be done when the habit
of sleeplessness firs! begins.
A business man with a merhanical turn
of mind should lit up his attic as a car
penter shop and spend an hour therein
after supper. A walk of two or three
milts a day is sufficient, says one writer,
while another maintains that nothing
will do but horseback riding. Air.'iin,
relief from sleeplessness can lie found by
wett'njf a 1 tuuhandkei chief, toldinit
and placing it under the back of the nec k,
with a dry cloth under the kerchief to
protect the pillow. Mill ntrnin. warm
the feet by friction, extra wrapper, etc.,
n dcool the head cither in a druuubt or
wlh cold water or ice. fne sullerer has
palliated tho distress of his vigils by
leaving bis bed, lighting a tire, and sit
ting in a chimney corner readingnnd eat
ing by turns until the demon intimated a
desire to d part.
A physician writes that the evening
should be a jieriod of relaxation and
recreation, relief from care and anxiety
to bo found in cheerful conversation,
pleasant frames and light reading, while
persons of sedentary occupation are to
take plenty of open air exercises. A fee
ble circulation is to be overcome, nnd
cold feet are to bo warmed. The stom
ach is to I e attended to if the digestion
is not Rood. If it is overloaded ea-y
and refreshing sleep is impossible.
Weakly persons and invalids oftcu rind
a cup of hot broth or gruel or some other
light and easily digestible food taken on
retiring to bo the niot promotive of
sleep. Tho led should neither be too
hard nor too soft, nor the clothing too
abundant nor too scanty. All unpleas
ant sights, sounds und smells should be
excluded. Hegular and early hours of
retiring are essential. Xo victim of in
tomuia can with safety burn the midnight
oil or engage in evening dissipation. The
man who observes these precautions and
adds thereto a clear conscience and a
sound mind has the promise of unfading
sleep.
A student troubled with insomnia dis
carded his feather pillow for one of hair
with wonderful effect. The h:iir pillow
does not get warmed up to an un.om
fortable degree because it rapidly con
ducts away the heat imparted to it by
tho head. Tho same persou found that
sleep could be brought on by simply
warming tho body, especially the feet,
or by taking a walk or by a coid shower
or sponge bath, followed by rubbing
with a coarse towel, tietting out of bed
for a few minutes when the air was cool
often brought relief, lie had lain awake
half the night, and then after being up
long enough to mix and drink a lemon
ad?, had fallen asleep at once on going
to bed. This student found that a light
lunch just before going to b.d relieved
his brain by drawing the blood to his
stomach.
Another victim of sleeplessness found
that a continuous low noise favored
sleep. Tin! sound of water dropping on
ana a has. been piesclbart by a physician.
' Tiie explanation seems to be that a sim-
tile monotonous impression quiets the
rain by occupying it to the exclusion of
more varied and interesting, und there
fore stimulating, impressions. On the
same principle are the devices of count
ing backward or forward, imagining
sheep jumping ono by one through a
gate, etc , but they are open to thu ob
jection of causing one portion of the
brain to be exerted in order to control
the rest of it.
A man who has "struck upon the right
plau at last," and who opens up to the
world something calculated to make
mankind rejoice, writes thutall you have
to do is to imagine yourself going on a
long journey. Think over the details of
V it every night when slc.cn lags. The

A physician has one simple remedy,
which requires no medicine. Compose
the mind as much as possible, con tine
the thoughts to ono subject, nnd close the
eye, rolling them continuously in ono
direction. In a short time consciousness
wi 1 be lost, and you will bo in the bliss
ful land of dieams. After an experience
of two years, another man found that he
was always able to go to sleep very
shortly after retiring to rest by keeping
his tyes looking down; he found that
they turned up when he was sleepless
and was cogitating something that kept
him nwakc.
An editor finds relief by wetting a
cloth with cold water and binding it
ncrosi his forehead. Another plan is to
draw a long, slow breath by the mouth
iind to force the bicith out through the
nose, imagiuing that the current can be
seen. An attempt may also be made to
read an amnsing novel in bed or to re
peat a familiar poem, hut all study or se
rious reading should be stopped half an
before going to bed. In a paper read by
a phv-ieiarj before the Huston society fo'i
medical improvement he said that sleep-lessne-s
is often caused by starvation and
that a tumbler of milk if drauk in the
middle of the night will often put people
to sleep when hypnotics would fail of
their .purpose. iluud Uumtketping.
The Homo of lUe Coral.
Corals are of many colors, the most
beautiful of which is the red coral. This
grows on the rocks that lie in the bottom
of the s u, in little grooves of tree's, each
Malk of which looks like a nd leafless
shrub, bearing small starlike flowers.
The laigcst coral reels are fouud in warm
waters of thu Pacific ocean, although
some varieties of coial grow in all oceans.
The coral employed in jewelry comes
mostly from the Mediterranean nnd lied
Sets; the d irk red is brought from the
Africau co st of thu Mediterranean, and
al-o from the Ki d Sea, the pink from the
coast of Italy, the yellow from the coast
of Sardinia, and the lilack from the ltcd
Sea. The principal coial lisheries art
situated along the coast of Sicily, at the
mouth of the Adriatic Sea, iu the strait
between Saidinia und Corsica and oil the
coast of Algeria.

A Good Cow,
A gentleman connected with a print
ing otlioe remarked to us recently that
he would like us to assist him in select
ing a good milch cow. Many ye.irs ago
we put in a scrap book tho following
direction! given by a prominent dairy
tnaa in Vermont, "and they embody the
true rule of guidance: First, I get a
broadside view ot the animal at a dis
tance of about two rods, n I have no
ticed for years that there is a great
similarity in the general . proportion of
all first class milkers; being very small
in girth just bark of their forward lesrs,
as compared with their girth just for
ward of their hips. I have never known I
first-rate milker of any breed, not thus J
proportioned, t'o, if this form is want- ;
ins in an animal I have recommended j
to me, I do not care to look any more
at her, unless I want a breeder for some j
other purpose than the dairy. I next feel ,
the size of the "milk veins," and trace
them to their entrance into the chest,
which in superior cows are large, admit- i
ting the ball of the largest Ungor. Next i
I examine by sight and touch the udder
or bag, which must be cnpaeious in order
to hold much milk, with teats wide i
apart, and free from largo sea warts or ;
(ores of any kind; I then inquire how
long she goes dry before calving, as I
don't want a family cow to give milk
less than forty-six weeks out of lifty-two.
and to close I milk her with my own '
hands. Arlitwit Uattttt.
Poultry Note. 1
For lice, dust Persian insect pow der '
freely in every crack nnd crevice, and on '
the bodies of the hens, in among the
feathers.
For digestion give the birds plenty of
sharp gravel, and also a teaspoon ul of
fenugreek, in tho soft food, for every ten
hens.
About one-third of tho weight of an I
egg is aolid nutriment. This is more J
than can be said of meat. There are no
bones and tough places that have to bo ,
laid aside. j
Turn eggs twice a week if they are to
be kept for future use. Eggs for hatch- '
ing will keep two or three weeks if turned
half over daily. They should be in a
place of moderate temperature, where ,
they will not freeze or be too warm. j
Those who live on land where there is
no gravel or sand should haul a load and '
spread it about the poultry yards. Tho '
fowls will en;oy it as much as though it
was something good to cat, and in most
cases it will do them more goo 1. Don't
forget this, as the chickens can't talk nnd
don't know how to ask for what they
want.
l)o not place one roost higher thati the
other. 'When so arranged the hens will :
11 crowd to the highest. lea ing the low-
est ones unoccupied. The better plan is
to place them all on a level of the same'
height and very low. If too high the
heavy fowls will be injured in getting j
on or off, as many cases of "bumble fo.it' ;
occur from high roosts. There is no I
necessity for having tho roost any higher j
than simply to allow a spnee under them j
for the free circulation of air, w h ch is
most essential to the well doing of tho
flock.
Improving tho Orchard.
A correspondent who ia anxious to I
know how to improve his orchard is an- i
swered a follows by tho Annr.can Cu'ti- '
tato.-: "The orchard in question, as
stated by our conespondent, ia some- '
what rundown in fertility, nnd ho w ishes
to know tho best munu'i.al elements to '
use in reviving it. He believes with 1
proper treatment that, although now only
fairly productive, it can be made doubly
ao without injury to trees.
tiur correspondent fa Is to state
whether the orchard iu question is an
apple, peach or pear orchard, or whether
the trees aro fur enough opart to culti- !
vate between the rows. If an apple
orchard, and the trees are large, it will 1
not be best to run a plough very near
them; but if ther trees are from two to
three rods apart, a strip may bo ploughed
between each row and planted to some
hoed crop, which should be heavily
dressed with compost, made largely of
good stuble manure.
The space immediately around the
trees not touched by the plough should '
be liberally top dressed with well rotted
manure and uuleactied wood ashes,
'i here is probably nothing better for
or bards of any kind of fruit than hard
wood ashes. They should be spread
broadcast beneath the trees over u s.pace
extending several feet from the trunk of
the tree, instead of placing them directly ;
around the base, as is sometimes done.
If it is not desirable or convenient to
cultivate any portion of the orchard it
can be renovated by a liberal top dress
ing of well rotted stable manure. A 1
mulch of refuse hay placed around the
bodies of the trees will be fouud bene-
licial, provided they are so large and the j
baik so thick that mice w ill not girdle
them. Pasturing orchards with hogs is
an excellent method of improving their
fertility. There is another advantage in '
pasturing with hogs, as in addition to
enriching the soil they pick up the wind- :
falls and destroy the worms, which cause '
a great loss of fruit every year.
Potato Foliage. 1
Not every farmer knows that whatever j
injures the foliago of the potato is a ,
direct injury to the crop. Thu leaves of
the vine are the feeders of the root, and
are so essential to the growth of the
tuber that whenever they are injured
nature does all she can to repair the i
harm by her own recuperative forces. I
When potato bugs begin cuting the !
vine, but are Stopped, thu plant will put
on new leaves, and do its very best to i
repair the damage. Further, any other i
nttuck on foliage is ju-t as bad as the
dreaded bugs. We once knew a man i
who thought to do a smart thing by cut
ting down his potato vine with a sevibo
when the bugs began operations. He
got rid of potatoes und bugs together at
one blow. Others have unintentionally i
done thu ta'ne thing by over-large doses
of Paris green. If the poison i- puru u i
very little of it is enough to bum the
vines as if a fire had p issud over them. !
There is much difference iu Paris green.
Some dealers seems to understand the
popular tendency of farmers to use it too
strong, and therefore they adulterate it .
so as to guard ugainst th s d mger, and '
to udd lo their ow u profit. j
The result altogether is that the
at c aire of potatoes, between the bugs
and thu poison u-e 1 to destroy them,
is not as good ns it was befoie the bug
era. Possibly this is for the best. We
as a people w ere perhaps learning to live
too much on potatoes lor our good, just
us the Irish used to before the potato rot
and the famine. They are a farinaceous
food, nnd therefore not the best adapted
for giving strct yth and vigor. We use
a great many potatoe-, poor as they
often aie. If they were always mealy,
white ami fine (jrained, should we not
use many moo than we itof Vet
possibly thu poorer quality of potatoes,
being less farinaceous, must be really the
best food. There aie occasionally per
sons with taste so perverse that they
.refer moist, sojrgy potato to ouc dry
and mealy. Still, according to the
genernl liking, the better foliage a potato
has tho better its quality and greater its
yield. It in.therefore, likely that few or
none will purposely allow their potatoes
to become defoliated when it is possible
to prevent it. Inter-Ocean.
Applying Mannre In Winter.
If the toil is properly prepnrcd manure
may be applied to advantage nt any time
of the year, so that it does not interfere
with other moro pressing work. If land
is ploughed in tho fall for coin, in no
way can manure tie more advantageously
applied than by hauling it out in tho
winter and scattering it over the
ploughed ground direct from the wagon,
the whole to remain so until the follow
ing spring, when, by running the har
row over it, it will not only thoroughly
intermix the manure with tho surfaco
soil (a matter of the greatest moment I,
but place the latter in the best possible
condition for checking oft preparatory to
planting. Hut the gre itest advantage of
this mode of applying manure for corn it
that tho fertilu.ng properties of the
manure become completely absorbed by
the sin face soil, nnd is in its most solu
ble condition to be appropriated as soon
as needed by tho feeder rootlets of the
young corn, giving it a most healthy and
rapid grow th in the start. Not only so,
but by scattering it direct from the
wagon the work is not only done quicker,
but tho manure ismorecvenly distributed
over the field than if thrown in heaps to
bo hand-scattered in the spring. By
scattering it direct from tho wagon the
work, too, is all done at once; whereas,
if thrown into heaps to remain so until
spring, a considerable portion of its
properties is either washed away by rains
or sinks into the ground, leaving spots
where the heaps stood too highly
manured for the balance of tho field,
thereby occasioning loss in the general
yield of the crop.
Another thing, in hauling out manure
over ploughed ground in winter much
unnecessary labor to the horses, as well
ns wear nnd tear of the wagon, particu
larly when the ground is more or less
fro.en, may be avoided by hail ing it the
way tho furrows run instead of across
them. Nor should it be attempted to
scatter the manure over too large a sur
face, l.iko all other work on the farm,
what is worth doing at nil is worth doing
well, and it is more profitable to manure
five acres well than to half manure ten
acres, the labor of cultivating tho latter
being doubly that of the former and tho
yield about the same. The work of
making and applying manure is certainly
the most important that can engago the
attention of the firmer, and he should
see to it that in the application none of
it is lost, nnd that the land on which it
is applied is nil benefited alike. And
then, with thoroughly prepared soil,
carefully selected seed and thorough
cultivation, he may rest easy about the
yield. Bnltimire Sun,
Hints on Floral Culture.
Leaf mou'd, rotten cow manure and
good garden loam in equal parts with a
small addition of sand, all well mixed to
gether, make suitable soil for nearly all
house plants.
When the leaves of plants assume a
yellow tinge the npplication of fifty
pounds of nitrate of soda (saltpeter) will
often cause them to again become green
and thrifty.
A handsome variegated thing is Fiscus
elastica variegat i. The marking is ex
tiemely handsome, shading from pale yel
low to green, and the general habit is as
robust ns in the plain green variety.
There are few tlowers so universally
loved ns the simple, modest and fragrant
violet. It is the favorite of the poor us
well as the rich, is little affected by the
caprices of fashion, whi.di now favor sun
flowers and again Rome other gnudy but

For a cool north window where the or
dinary run of house plants will not flour
ish try some p'ants from the woods. The
partridge b.'rry, a little creeping vine
w it li evergreen leaves and curiously double
red fruit, will give satisfaction. Then
there arc mosses, ferns and other pretty
tilings thnt w.ll give quite a charming va
riety. Dispute it who may, no place is fin
ished without its border of trees and
shrubs, whether in their spring bloom
and beauty, or as in the evergreens, lux
uriant iu their perennial verdure. By
their employment we can, not only have
beaut ful surroundings, but shut out an
unpleasnnt feature in the landscape or
extend a desirable view.
A great many careful gardeners, under
the impression that the hardy Holland
bulbs need winter protection, put on a
heavy mulch in autumn and remove
early in spring when the tender shoots
which are then springiug up need it
most. If any mulch is appl'ed let it be
a thin coat of well rotted manure that
can be allowed to remain.
Study your plants. Notice their drink
ing habits. You will soon find out
which needs the most water. You will
find they will take but very little if the
day is dark; if it is pleasant they will
require more. Kspecially the first part
of winter is this noticeable. Tho days
are short and often cloudy. The plants
have not filled the pots with roots,
thereforo it is better to be on the safe
side and not give too much water.
In window gardening it should be re
membered that we have till degrees of
temperature at command, from freezing
to torrid. Shelves or brackets at differ
e it heights should be provided to meet
the requirements of heat needed by dif
ferent plants. Coo'us on the wiudow
sill will drop its leaves und go to pieces:
on the top shelf it makes luxuriant
grow th. ( Ither instances might le given,
but care, watchfulness and a little ex
perimenting will soon show the window
gardener where each specimen does best.

infer, several vessels were loading with
i sea-weed for Chinese ports, among them
i two Chinese, one German, and one Kng
lisi, steamships. The sca-weud, sent
mainly to China, is precisely, or very
nearly, the same as the kelp of the New
lingland sea coast. It is gathered and
j dried, folded and packed into bundles of
! convenient sie for shipping, and sent
to market. The Chinese souk and wash
I it, cut it into thin strips, not so large
as maccaroui, und dry it, when it be
comes us sott and delicate to the touch
as Bilk fringe. It is boiled und then
eaten with rice, givingthe lutteragood
relish not unlike the addition of a sulad
of lettuce. Other kinds of sea-weed are
gatnered and shipped, some of it being
like the Irish moss used for jelly.

A Middletow (X T.) letter to tl.
New York .vvn describes the operation
of rhillp Abor, a famous turtle hunter
of that region. The correspondent says t
In the spring at soon as the marshes,
ponds, and streams are free of ice and
frost, Aber sallies out after tho game,
equipped with a long pole with a hook
on one end and a strong canvas bng.
His experience tells him where to look
for the Tariety of rirlo!,ia he wants,
whether hiding under the stones or banks
of tho creeks or sunk in the deep marsh
ooze. His pole now comes into play in
poking and prodding about. The turtle
is instantly re ngnlzed by the touch, and
the hook secures the game and lodges it
in the canvas bag. The old man makes
a queer figure ns he hnunts the swamps
and pools and creeks, an 1 his skill and
dexterity iu detecting and bagging tho
game are something wonderful.
Aber's field of operations extends
throughout n large portion of northern
New Jersey and southern New York, and
as near as can be ascertained ho catches
nnd sends to market about one hundred
barrels of turtles, averaging six inches
in length, each scaon. The shipments
include occasional specimens of the rarer
and larger variety, the suapping-turtle,
twelve to fifteen inches in length. He
has regular custo-ners for all he can
catch in Philadelphia, 1'altimore, Wash
ington nnd New York. The turtles,
when prepared by an expert in cooking
th.-m, make an excellent dish thnt pas-cs
for a dainty terrapin stew among tluco
cplcutes w hose leanness of purse will not
warrant their banqueting on the real
diamond back tenapin from the brack
ish waters of the seashore, at a cost of
$J0 to fiO per dozen.
A Chinese Relief;
The celestials firmly believo that if
three boys are born In a triplet they
must be at once behended, according lo
Chinese law, as a prophecy e lists that
one of a trip'et of boys w ill be the future
distroyer and in Vi.dc r ot the empiie.
Girls don't count, much to the relief of
the wife of a certain mandarin, who
has lately given birth to three baby
daughters. Hong Kng Claret tr.

Anything that is the best of its kind is sure to be imitated, and
the fact that an article is counterfeited, is the best possible
evidence of its value. There arc scores of imitations of the Ivory
Soap, which grocers are persuaded to buy because they pay more
profit than the "Ivory" will. On account of this extra profit, the
grocer represent them to be "just as good as the 'Ivory';" they
are not, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable
qualities of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon
