The "high pressure'' principle on which many of our business men work their brains and abuse their bodies, begets an irritable condition of the nerves, and a mo rbid state of mind, very antagonistic to quiet and refreshing sleep. Such persons will often go to bed, weary and exhausted, but cannot sleep; or sleep dreamily and fitfully; or(lie awake for hours, unable to sleep at all. We have tried many experiments to induce sleep with more or less success, . and have read many recipes which proved better in theory, than in practice. The very best method wo have yet discovered is tluit of counting. Breathe deeply, and slowly (without Any straining effort) and, with every expiration, count, one, two, three, etc, up to a hundred.. Some , persons will be asleep before they' can count fifty in this manner.

Salt may be purified from the sulphur it contains, by heat; place the salt in a dripping-pasay about an inch or so deep; place it in an oven under a hot fire and the sulphur will evaporate, or it may be roasted out on top of a hot stove or oyer a fire. No salt should be used for fresh meat, butter, or cheese without testing it in this way, There has been a loss of many hundreds of pounds of dairy and butcher produce, the present season within the range of our knowledge, where salt both from Salt Lake and the mines towards the Colorado has been used.

A brave, handsome, young fellow, honest as theday is long, and twice as generous, risks , his own life to save that of a surpassingly lovely and divinely beautiful maiden ; Whose sweet voice and sweeter disposition at once win the ardent, deep arid deathless devotion of her gallant preserver. Gratitude, and a sudden reciprocity of hitherto unawakened affections, pure as the "beautiful snow," which was going to bury her in a terrific slide, had not our hero interfered; or, perhaps mighty and ceaseless as the huge stream of water in which she must have been drowned but for his timely approach and adventurous dexterity in rescuing her, makes her his own forever. But I have something else, to say about causes for gratitude. Wli it great thing is it, after all, for one person to save the life of hnother? That might cost but tho exertion of a moment, and is an act which common respect for humanity Vould prompt any individual to perform. A wretch may render services in saving the life of an innocent child; and I admit for the good he does he should be thanked and rewarded. But still that isn't anything like stopping at home, doing the work and letting some one else go to a Christmas and, New Year's jollification. Should it awaken half the gratitude, since it calli not for half the sacrifice? Then, there are other tokens of lasting love and generous fidelity to be brought in. Think of a family's going without butter for a week, for the sake of sparing to a favored one, the new milk wanted for two days. Should such things be forgotten? Get out with your fated maidens and life preserving heroesr For my jiarV I'd rather spend one happy, happy week of holidays, than to risk my life a dozen times for the sake of having It saved; and ani really more grateful to my dear, good" friends whose friendship proves itself continuously, than I ever could be for one deed of humanity. - Frank. |
