His friend said: "Why, General, she is Mrs, Wadsworth frona Vermont. She has a boy in the army, inte fellow of thirteen, who ran away to join. He is no scross the river, on the Potomac. She has lost two sons in the battle of Bull Run, and this hoy is her last. She is a poor widow, and she is trying to get the boy discharged.

And we specify him because he illustrates the difference of the soil. We mean the affected, lisping, and haw-haw fool; and he explains his great rarity in the Navy by the fact that, being caught so very young, his ears are clipped before they have time to grow. This happy result is chte to that most important fact already referred to, the early age at which youngsters begin naval life.

A LONG LIST OF SIMPLE REMEDIES FOR.. SLEEPLESSNESS.
It will be interesting to collect the many. remedies that have been suggested for sleepless. ness. A hot shower bath at bedtime cleanses the skin and predisposes to sleep, it is claimed. The "one sure and safe way is to take a brisk _walk-of-a-mile.or.two before going_19_bed and Athen, after the walk, hold the head under a stream of cold water. This, howeve, should be done when the habit of steeplessness first begins.
There are many ways of killing a dog. dose of arsenic is one effectual way, an ounce of lead in the brain is another, and we have heard of attempts being made to despatch "favourites" by choking them with nice soft butter.

A physician writes that the evening should be a period of relaxation and recreation, relief from care and anxiety to be found in cheerful conversa- tion, pleasant games and light reading, while persons of sedentary" occupation are to inke plenty of open air exercise. A feeble circulation is to be overcome and cold feet are to be warmed. The stomach is to be attended to if the digestion is not good. If it is over-loaded easy and refreshing sleep is impossible. Weakly persons and invalids often find a cup of hot "broth or gruel, or some other light and easily digestible food taken on retiring to be the best promotive of sleep. The bed should neither be too hard nor too soft, nor the clothing to abur
dant nor too, scanty. All unpleasant, sights, sounds and smells should be excluded. Regular and early hours of retiring are essential. No victim of insomnia 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 unfailing sleep.
A student, troubled with Insomnia discarded his feather pillow for one of hair with wonderful effect. The hair pillow does not get warmed up to an uncomfortable degree, because it rapidly conducts away the heat imparted to it by the bead. The same persoh found that sleep could be brought on by simply warming the body, especially the feet, or by taking a walk, or by a cold shower or sponge bath, following by rubbing with a coarse towel.
