CURES FOR INSOMNIA. A Lady Tells How She Helped Her Hu band to Break the Awful Spell. I was much interested in the notes from 'Dr. Ford's lecture in the Herald of Health, and wish that every woman as well as every nurse in the land could read them. Those of us who are at the heads of households may some time need all the knowledge we can get upon the subject of insomnia. The trouble grows more common every year, especially in America, where we are apt to live upon "nerve" in all times of trial or excite ment There is no doubt that personal mag netism is one of the best medicines for insomnia, the will of the nurse subju gating and calming that of the ratient. Two very unhappy cases have come un der my own personal supervision. One was my husband, who became so wretch ed that ho would sleep about two hours and then get up to walk all over the place, and often for miles into the coun try. One night I began talking to him when he awakened, and finding that my voice quieted mm, kept on, repeating poetry, ana nnattyTmucing my sentences up in a dreadful way, I was so sleeov myself. But he went to sleep, too, and did not awaken until near morning. It was remarkable, for he had not slept so mucn at night tor two years. That day I learned to repeat Paris Ronn, knowing that my husband was very fond of it. So when he got wakeful the next night I had something to say over to him, and to my delight, he fell asleep before I was half through the poem. And so we kept up our midnight conversations for three months, I telling all the fairy stories, the gossipy incidents, and repeating all the poems I knew. And little by little, so soon as he began to sleep every night, he was cured, and now a cannon fired in the room would hardly awaken him. The other case was of a lady with whom I spent a year; I begged her to try the Daisarte movements of the body limbering herself, and swinging about until she began to feel drowsy. When she would grow restless in the night, she would arise and try the same exer cise. It finally cured her, after a year of faithful practioe. Her trouble was more physical, while my husband's was mental. He grew to depend upon me like a child, and if I happened to be away from the house, he could not sleep. So soon as a person so afflicted begins to sleep well, the general health improves and sleep is more easily induced. As Dr. Ford says, there is a knack of put ting one to sleep, and each daughter of the family ought especially to learn the secret, if possible, for so much of the comfort and well being of humanity de pends upon women. Mrs. George Vv7. Ogilvie in Herald of Health. The Benevolent Foreigner. Mrs. Micawber, in"David Copper field," when about to sail with her alway impe cunious husband for Australia.announces that she wishes that husband to tako his stand upon the vessel's prow and firmly say. '-This country I have come to con quer! Have you honors? Have you riches? Have you posts of profitable pe cuniary emolument? Let them be brought forward. They are mine." Fiction is always behind reality, and no fancied Micawber ever carried, his effrontery so far as many instances, well authentic ated, in actual life. When, for instance, the Hungarian general, Klanka, had been invited by some agent of Mr. Seward's to serve in our. army during the civil war, he wrote to Gen. McCfellan, giving his terms. Those terms were that he should be paid 100,000 in cash: that his annual salary should be $2 3,000; that he should serve as Gen. McClellaivs chief of staff for a short time, until familiar with English, and should then take McClel lan's place at the head of the American amy. There was nothing unexampled about this. We meek and patient Ameri cans are constantly in the position of be ing lectured on manners by foreigners so ill bred that, were they Americans, they would never have a second invitation into well bred company; on pronuncia tion and language by persons unable to xuaKe uiemselves heard before an audi ence; on the graces of literature and art by orators who cannot even dispose of their own arms and legs without the greatest discomfort. Long suffering as we are by nature, Americans have had so much put upon them in these wave that the revenge taken in Europe by Barnum and Buffalo Bill seems hardly too severe an international retribution. T. w. H. in Harper's Bazar. A Tough Cat Yarn. Some time since Mr. Arch McMil lan discovered that his cat was eat ing chickens, and thought to be rid of him, and got a negro to take him four milea in the country one after noon, but .he was back to breakfast next morning. The chicken killing continued, and something had to be done. So one morning about six weeks ago the cat was locked into a box-car loaded with rosin, which car went straight to Portsmouth, Va. Imagine Mr. McMillan's sur prise to ste the cat back at home last Thursday at noon. It had trav eled more than 240 miles, and been six weeks on the road. Several neighbors, as well as the owner, identified it as the same cat sent away. The poor thing is hardly more than skin and bones. There is no miracle in the fact that it walk ed 240 miles, but the mystery is, how it knew the direction. This ia a tough story but is true neverthe less. Carthage Blade. J. W.

All styles and shades Man Changes IJttlo. Horace's rustic waited for the river to run down. If he could have waited lon enough he might have seen its last drop roll by. But human nature is always the same. If one of those who died when the world was young should return to it now he would not know its cities and their customs; but he would know its children and their ways, its mothers and their hopes, its lovers and their vows. He would not know the old philosophies by their new names, or the old sciences under the modern developments; but ho would know the human heart and its ideals as he would know the midnight sky and its constellations We are told that ours will one day be a dead planet moving with other dead planets around a cold and darkened sun That will not matter if love is immortal. A wandering angel, curious ' of such things, would find amid the ruins of our civilization here and there an infant's toy a marriage ring, a sculptured cross. These aro tokens," he would say "of eternity, not of time. They can teach us nothing new in heaven." New Or leans Picayune. A Joking, Indian.
