INSOMNIA.

A Few Suggestions for the Sleepless. New York suffers more for lack of sleep than for lack of fdod, and this privation is on the increase to a fearful degree. One reason for that excessive drinking which ruins our business men mav be found in the fact that men thus make up for the loes of sleep. The use of stimulants under such circumstances is doubly pernicious, but this does not prevent it. All classes of\bram-work-ers surfer to a greater or less degree, but the most painful instances are found among Wall street brokers and speculators* who are under such intense excitement that healthy sleep often becomes an impossibility. The next in point of suffering are preachers and play-actors, who also become excited to an intense degree. Editors, lawyers, physicians, and business men also suffer from insomnia, and the following paragraph, clipped from a morning paper, is an appeal which might be repeated by a large part of onr population : “Sleeplessness.—l am troubled with this complaint; 35 years old-; married; happy home; active business; S2O for recipe or cure. Address Sleep. ” My reply to the above is entirely gratuitous, and yet may be of. some value, being the result of experience: Avoid intoxicating drinks, and, if .possible, get your work done before dark. If very nervous, a warm bath is •advisable, for which a wash-bowl and a sponge may suffice. Eat moderately before going to bed. To break off annoying thoughts, which keep one awake, repeat poetry or count steadily from one to 100. I know a man who goes over “Gray’s Elegy” night after night until it ends in sleep, while another counts as above mentioned until the same result is reached. Anything that will divert the mind from its tendency to prey upon itself promotes sleep. If it be too cold for a tepid bath, then friction of the skin is beneficial. Opiates are decidedly objectionable, but there is a sedative which is both safe, efficacious, and hence should be better known. This is bromide of potassium, which, in a weak solution, soothes the nerves in a harmless manner. It should, however, be properly prepared by the druggist. Some people have waking spells during the night, and it is better to rise and walk round the house than to toss in bed. A man of my acquaintance who has such waking spells walks the streets for a half hour and then returns to bed and obtains sleep. Knowing the liability of public speakers to insomnia, 1 asked the most excitable of this class (John B. Gough) how he obtained sleep after one of his thrilling lecture, generally two hours in length. He replied: “On returning to my room I begin reading some interesting book, and in this manner fill my mind with other thoughts, and then I can sleep.” Public speakers find it very difficult to stop thinking after they have stopped speaking. Old Lyman Beecher, father of the Brooklyn orator, had a load of sand in his cellar, and after evening service he shoveled it from one side to the other, and by this exercise toned down the fever of his brain, often finishing by playing the violin, which was one of his accomplishments. Bodily exercise is certainly very efficacious under such circumstances.

Persistent insomnia is one of the first signs of insanity, and hence should at once call for treatment. As men advance in life naps in the daytime become very useful. I know one brainworker who takes two or three, and also sleeps well at night. If New York could have a nooning, and our business men could recruit their jaded nerves by “kind nature’s sweet restorer,” there would be less drinking; but as they have no time for this, they keep themselves up by the bottle, and then often lie awake at night from , the excitement caused by intoxication. Sleep being our great necessity, I offer these suggestions to such of my readers as may find them of service. As a general rule people should sleep all they can. The most noted victim of insomonia was Horace Greeley, whose intense mental labors and anxiety during that fatal Presidential canvass led through loss of sleep to insanity, and then again a general collapse of an overworked system, which soon found relief in death. — N. Y. letter.

Hydrophobia.

The symptoms of hydrophobia, as issued by the direction of the University of London, are as follows: The disease occurs in dogs pf all ages, and may appear at any season of the year, the fact being recognized by a change of demeanor of the dog, which becomes dejected, morose, inclined to roam, and anxious to hide itself. It gnaws at wood, stones, and any refuse which it sees, snaps at imaginary objects, and becomes unusually excited by strange or sudden noises; it rubs its throat with its pawil, as if striving to get rid of some object lodged there, and at the same time there is a more or less abundant flow of saliva from the mouth. The dog will also attack its master, or animals of any kind, but is most easily rouseTd to fury by the presence of other dogs. There is, throughout the disease, no dread of water. If a dog has shown any of the symptoms of madness, it should at once be loose muzzled and securely chained up; and all dog bites should be immediately cleansed by suction and washing, and he at once cauterized.

Adulterations.

Tennyson says that chalk and alum and plaster are sold to the poor for bread, and that the vitriol madness flashes up in the ruffian's brain till the filthy highway rings with the yell of a trampled wife, and he might have gone further and told of numerous adulterations both in food and drink. Mustard is adulterated wife sulphate of lime,. naphthaline yellow, and dark flour. Black pepper is reduced with charcoal, buckwheat chaff, mustard bean, ground cocoanut, and dried potatoes ; cayenne pepper with com meal colored with Venetian red; allspice or pimento with cocoa shells; cloves with clove stems -and cocoa shells; mace with com meal; cinnamon and cassia with ground crackers, stale bread, and biscuits naked and ground; ginger with com meal, cayenne pepper; and turmeric cream tar-

tar is adulterated with terra alba and corn floor. To know that cream tartar is pure take a half teaspoonful of it and put it in. a tumbler with hot water. If pure, it will all dissolve without sediment. ->

Extremely Delicate.

Louisa Pinkney, a colored school teacher, boarded at the house of “Guinea Nigger” Dan. Louisa had been educated with great care. Not only her mind, but her tastes, particularly in matters of diet, had received instruction. It soon became evident that the table of “Guinea Nigger” Dan was entirely too ordinary for Louisa. The conventional dishes of the colored race were scorned by her. Dan, observing her high disdain, shook his head and remarked to his wife: “Get eben wid dat gal ’fore she’s er week older. Er colt ken sometimes fling up his head so high dat he’ll stumble ober a log. She may make fun o’ me all she wants ter, but when she turns up dat flat nose at de viddults whut it hab pleased de Lawd ter put afore her, w’y den, suthin’ rises on my back like de bristles on er swamp hog. Jes’let her prance er long. Airtei; erwhile I’ll gin her suthin ter snuff erboufc.’ “I don’t like this meat,” said Louisa, at dinner. “Whut de matter wid de meat, chile ?” asked Dan. “Oh, it’s coarse. It’s hog meat, is it not?” “Yes, hog meat, chile.” “Well, I don’t like hog meat. It isn’t delicate enough.” “Likes delicate meat, does yer chile ?” “Yes, and must have it.” “Uh, hub, an’ yer Bhall hab it, too. Hab yer some mighty delicate meat termor, at dinner.” “ Oh, I thank you, kindly. ” “Yes, o’ ’cose yer does.” When the teacher sat down to dinner the following day, old Dan, after waiting until the fastidious boarder had begun to eat, said: “How yer like dat meat?” “Oh, it’s splendid." “Delicate ’nuff ter suit de palate o’ yer mighty fine mouf ?” “It is just right, thanks.” “Uh, huh, glad ter heah it. Yer doan knew how much trouble I had gittin’ that sorter meat. Had ter look all ober de country ’fore I found’ hit. At last I got holt o’er lamb " “Allow me to thank you for your trouble.” • “Not er tall, chile; not er tall. Hunted roun’ long time ’fore I foun’ one.” “Why, I didn’t know that sheep were so scarce.” “Oh, da ain’t scace in gen’al. Hunted er long time ’fore I foun* ofie dat I wanted. Yer said yer wanted delicate meat, an’ I sarched wid dat sack in view. At last I foun’ er lamb dat wa’n’t enjoyin’ de best o’ health. Powerful delicate thing —so weak -he couldn’t hardly stan’ up. I axed ’er man how long he thought it woul’ live, an’ he ’lowed dat it woul’, if de win’ wuz favorable, stay on dis earth ’bout er hour longer, an’—whut’s de matter, lady, don’ yer like de meat ? Get roun’ dar, wife, an’ hoi’ de chile’s head. Doan yer see how she’s retchin’ herself. Sorry dat' it doan ’gree wid her. Yes, chile, york, york—woo, york—meat so delicate. Swing corners wid her head, wife. Pore lady, sorter delicate herse’f. ” — Arkansaw Traveler.

Fun in Old England.

A pole thirty feet long and four or five inches in diameter was laid down with one-half its length secured on the shore, the pther half being over the water. At the water end of the pole a large box was suspended with a greased pig in it. Seven men tried fpr half an hour to get at the pig by walking the greased pole. They would take a step or two and then tumble head over heels into the water. The crowd roared with laughter. Finally one of the men walked about half the distance out and made a jump, so that he was able to get hold of the string on the box which opened the trap-door at the bottom and let the pig into the water. Then he had to jump into the water himself, catch the pig and bring it ashore. As the pig was greased this was no easy task, but the fellow finally succeeded, and walked off with the animal, which let everybody know it was alive by shrieking all it could. —Kent Cor. Brooklyn Union.

Death in Shakspeare.

There are in Shakspeare’s plays about ninety deaths, taking place either on the stage or behind the scenes, of important personages. It might be increased by soldiers and attendants who are killed by the way. Cold steel (the dagger or the sword) accounts for about two-thirds of the whole; twelve persons die from old age or natural decay, in some cases hastened by the trying circumstances of their lives; seven are beheaded; five die by poison, including the elder Hamlet, whose symptoms are so minutely described by his ghost; two of suffocation, unless, indeed, Desdemona makes a third; two by strangling, one from a fall, one is drowned, three die by snake-bite, and one, Horner the armorer, is thumped to death with a sand-bag.

One of the Sweet Things You Read OH “Madam,” said a husband to his young wife, in a little altercation which will spring up in the best regulated families, “when a man and his wife have quarreled and each considers the other at fault, which of the two ought to advance toward a reconciliation?” “The better natured and the wiser of the two,” said the wife, putting up her mouth for a kiss, which was given with an unction. She was the conqueror.— New York Ledger.

“You must pay very close attention to your Fr t nch, dear,” said a fashionable mother to her darling daughter, “if you want to enjoy French novels. Whm they are translated, they are refined down to a point of ooumonplace goodness that is absolutely stupid.”— Burlinqion Hawkey e.

A THRILLING EXPERIENCE!

Remarkable Statement of Personal Danger and Providential Escape. The following story—which Is attracting wide attention from the press—is so remarkable that we cannot excuse ourselves if we do not lay it before our readers, even though its length would ordinarily preclude its admission to onr limited space. To the Editor 'BochesUr (N. Y.) Democrat • Sib—On the first day of June, 1881, I lay at my residence in this city surrounded by my friends and waiting for death. Heaven only knows the agony I then endured, for words can never describe it. And yet, if a few years previous any one had told me that I was to be brought so low, and by so terrible a disease, I should have scoffed at the idea. I had always been uncommonly strong and healthy, and weighed over 200 pounds, and hardly knew, in my own experience, what pain or sickness were. Very many people who will read this statement realize at times that they are unusually tired and cannot ao- ! count for it. They feel dull pains in various parts of the body and do not understand it. Or they are exceedingly hungry one day and entirely without appetite the next. This wqa just the way 1 felt when the relentless malady which had fastened itself upon me first began. Still I thought nothing of it; that probably I had taken a cold which would soon pass away. Shortly alter this I noticed a heavy, aqd at times neuralgic, pain in one side of ray head, but as it would come one day and be gone the next, I paid little attention to It. Then my s.tomach would get out of order and my food often failed to digest, causing at times great inconvenience. Yet, even as a physician, I did not think that these things meant anything serious. I fancied I was suffering from malaria and doctored myself accordingly. But I got no better. I next noticed a peculiar color and odor about the fluids I was passing —also that there were large quantities one day and very little the next, and that a persistent froth and scum appeared upon the surface, and a sediment settled. And yet I did not realize my danger, for, indeed, seeing these symptoms continually, I finally became aocustomed to them, and my suspicion was whol'y disarmed by the fact tfiat I had no pain in the affected organs or in their vicinity. Why I should have been so blind I cannot understand. I consulted the best medical skill in the land. I visited all the famed mineral springs in America and traveled from Maine to California. Still I grew worse. No two physicians agreed as to my malady. One said I was troubled with spinal irritation; another, dyspepsia; another, heart disease; another, general debility; another, congestion of the base of the brain; and so on through a long list of common diseases, the symptoms of mfiny of which I really had. In this way several years passed, during which time I was steadily growing worse. My condition had really become pitiable. The slight symptoms lat first experienced were developed Into terrible and constant disorders. My weight had been reduced from 207 to 180 pounds. My life was a burden to myself and friends. I could retain no food on my stomach, and lived wholly by injections. I was a living mass of pain. My pulse was uncontrollable. In my agony I frequently fell to the floor and elutehed the carpet, and prayed for death. Morphine had little or no effect in deadening the pain. For six days and nights I had the death-premonitory hiocoughs constantly. My waiter was filled with tube-casts and albumen. I was struggling with Bright’s disease of the kidneys in its last stages! While suffering thus I received a call from my pastor, the Hev. Dr. Foote, at that time rector of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, of this city. I felt that it was our last interview, but in the course of conversation Dr. Foote detailed to me the many remarkable cures ol cases like my own which had come under his observation by means of a remedy, which he urged me to try. As a practicing physi-* clan and a graduate of the schools, 1 derided the idea of any medicine outside the regular channels being in the least beneficial. So solicitous, however, was Dr. Foote, that I finally promised I would waive my prejudice. I began its use on the first day of June, 1881, and took It according to directions. At first it sickened me; but this I thought was a good sign for one in my debilitated condition. I continued to take it; the sickening sensation departed and 1 was finally able to retain food upon my 6tomach. In a few days I noticed a decided change for the better, as also did my wife and friends. My hiccoughs ceased and I experience! less pain than formerly. I was so rejoiced at this improved condition that, upon what 1 had believed but a tew days betore was my dying bed, I vowed. In the presence of my family and friends, should I recover I would both publicly and privately make known this remedy for the good of humanity, wherever and whenever I had an opportunity, and this letter Is in fulfillment of that vow. My improvement was constant from that time, and in less than three months I had gained 28 pounds in flesh, became entirely free from pain, and I believe I owe my life and present condition wholly to Warner's Safe Cure, the remedy which I used. Since ray recovery I have thoroughly reinvestigated the subject ol’ kidney difficult!; s and Bright’s disease, and the truths developed are astounding. 1 therefore state, deliberately, and as a physician, that I believe wore than one-half the deaths which occur in America are caused by Bright's disease of the kidneys. This may sound like a rash statement, but I am prepared to fully verify it. Bright’s disease has no distinctive symptoms of its own (indeed, it often develops without any pain whatever in the kidneys or their vicinity), but has the symptoms of nearly every other common complaint. Hundreds of people die daily whose burials are authorized by a physician’s certificate as occurring from “Heart ids ease,’’ “Apoplexy,” “Paralysis,” “Spinal complaint,” “Rheumatism,” “Pneumonia,” and other common complaints, when in reality it is from Bright’s disease of the kidneys. Few physicians, and fewer people, realize the extent of this disease or its dangerous and in sidious nature. It steals into the system like a thief, manifests its presence, if at all, by the commonest symptoms, and fastens itsel upon the constitution before the victim is aware of it. It is nearly as hereditary as consumption, quite as common, and fully as fatal. Entire families,, inheriting it from their ancestors, have died, and yet none o’ the number knew or realized the mysterious power which was removing them. Instead of common symptoms, it often shows none whatever, but brings death suddenly, from convulsions, apodlexy, or heart diseas-. As one who has suffered, and knows by bitter experience what he says, I implore every one who reads these u ords not to neglect the slightest symptoms of kidney difficulty. Certain agony and probable death will be the sure result of such neglect, and no one can afford to hazard-such chances. lam aware that such an unqualified statement as this, coming from- me, known as I am throughout the entire land as a practitioner and lecturer, will arouse the surprise and possible animosity of the medical profession and astonish all with whom I am acquainted; but I make the foregoing state* menls based upon facts which I am prepared to produce and truths which I can aubstan Hate to the letter. The welfare of those who may possibly be Sufferers such as I was, is an ample inducement for me to take the step I have, and if I can successfully warn others from the dan rerous path in which I once walked, I am willing to endure all professional and personal consequen; os.

Clara Belle on Freckles.

Do not distress yourself, Laura B. Lemon jpice, vinegar, buttermilk, or any approved freckle lotion may fail to remove your freckles, and they say that in England freckles are so fashionable just now, as well as here in New York, that artificial means are adopted for producing them. A freckle manufacturer has invented a sort of sand that, rubbed into the cheeks, comes out in freckles. They say that it is nice for people to have iron hidden in their blood and visable on their faces, freckles being the outward sign of the inward iron.— Cincinnati Enguirer.

I have always been his friend, and I regard his success as a great triumph of brains.” —Arkansaw Traveler.

A Bad Omen.

We should be heedful of Nature gives us such. Inactivity of the kidneys and bladder is an omen of danger. The diseases which attack those organs are among the most fatal .and obstinate, and are usually preceded by the above symptom of growing weakness. The best invlgorant under such circumstances is Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, a safe as well as active remedy. The proper degree of energy is imparted to the operations of these Important seoreting and discharging glands, without overstimulation, by the Bitters. .In. that'respect, as in others, it surpasses and -is preferable to diuretics which overact The. artiole is also a remedy for and preventive of chills and fever and bilious remittent, and cures rhenmatio ailments, dyspepsia, debility and nervousness. Don't delay if you experience the well-known symptoms of any of these ailments, but use the Bitters at once. Apropos of tlie late Edward Bulwer, Lord Lytton, who perhaps will lie longest remembered for his ‘ puppy dog” correspondence, it is worth while to recall the caustic description of his “ideal” that once appeared in the Quarterly. It is alluded to by' Mr. Edmund Yates in his memoirs. According to the story, the noble lord’s idea of a perfect wife was “a woman who would sit on a footstool at his feet, looking up fondly in his face, and only interrupt him to whisper that he was the handsomest creature on earth.” About twenty-five years since Mason Sc Hamlin announced important Improvements in reed instruments, then known as melodeons. So considerable were the changes and improvements that they olaimod for their new instrument another and better name—organ or cabinet organ—by which it has become universally known, and obtained wonderful usefulness and success; about 80,000 organs being now made in this country yearly, while American organs are largely exported’ to every civilized country. The same company now offerijja tbe public an improved Upright Piano, wfnen they have been experimenting upon and testing for u number of years, aud confidently claim presents improvements of the greatest practloal value. A distinguishing cbaracteristlo is that they entirely dispense with wood in bolding the strings, which are secured by metal fastenings directly to the iron plate, so securing perfect vibration and more pure musical tones, with much greater durability. The changing conditions of wood, so objectionable in suoh a matter, are entirely avoided. The improvement certainly seems to be one of great importance. —Boston Traveller.

Two Famous Moralists Meet.

Dr. Johnson no sooner met Dr. Adam Smith for the first time than he brought forward a charge against him for something in his famous letter on the death of Hume. Smith said he had vindicated the truth of the statement. “And what did the Doctor say ?” was the universal query. “Why, ho said—he said—” said Smith, with the deepest impression of resentment, “he said— ‘ You lie!' ” “And what did you reply ?” “I said ‘You are a !’ ” On such terms did these two great moralists meet and part, and such was the classic dialogue betwixt them.— Croker’s “Diary of Recollections.” * * * Bad treatment of stricture often complicates the disease and makes It difficult of cure.

DR. JOHN BULL’S SitsToiicSyri} FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHIUS and FEVER, AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASES The proprietor of this oelebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the publio for the SAFE, CERTAIN, SPEEDY and PERMANENT onre of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fover, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no oase whatever will it fail to euro if the directions are etriotly followed and oarried out. In a great many oases a single dose has been for a ouro, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of tho general health. It is, however, prudent, ana in every case more certain to oure, if its use is continued in emaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been oheoked, more especially in diffionlt and long-standing oases. Usually this medioine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a oathartio medioine, after having taken throe or fonr doses of the Tonio, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETABLE FAMILY FILLS will be sufficient.
