offer great comfort. Hut, right hero, great

Tliat l'amily Bill.
When I was a school te-acher I was present
on OE9 occasion when tho yearly bill from (
tho general eiry goods store of tho neighbor- i
Lcod was brought ia to the head of the fam-
ily, a well to do farmer, who drove a pair cf i
lino horses when L wnt to town, expected
to entertain tho ministers at least seirno of
them, when the general e-onferenco met and
held a sort of leading position in tho com
munity, j ho bill iu tho year umountod to
and repre-seiitevd tho materials bought by
the wifo for beTM-If, her two littlo girls, aud
for family it- for twelve, months all care
fully itemized. Its reception destroyed tho
jx aefM.f tho family for that lay. Tho man
said many ugly words, charging his wifo with
a disjMisitioii to air-e-t bis ruin, and sho her
self was somewhat appalled by tho sum total
e.f a bill the extent of which thc had not uu-licipab-d.
Al ter her husband's departure for th'- fields
she :t I wei . rtudy it out. There was a
piece of printed calico w hich had Iiocn mado
up by her own hands into di c:i-es for herself
and liltlo girls; there was 11 piece of un
bleached muslin which had levn made up
tab) sheets ami pillow eases; there were- shoos,
hosiery, one p:;jrof cotton gloves, but .lS;uid
some odd cent:; were covered by sin ks, neck
tie.;, and shirliags for tiio two male lae-ml ers
of the family lath-T ami son. For days the
man stonm-d and raged whcneer tho "bill''
was alluded to. and it was u week ln-fore his
wife? could induce Imn to examiiio it, and s'-e
that ho himself was responsible for the l irgest
part of it, tlie items not covering any of his
own o- his .'ion's important 'articles of cloth
ing. This occurrence made a deep impression

Very hk- ly much of the nervous irritability

(-ecially girls, is due to an indulgence re
ecived in early e-hildhood in the matter of

been deprived of their necessary rest and
their brains of the due amount of t he growth
or the r.-pnir which taker, place in sleep.
Ie has yet. to bo determ;ned, says a medie-rl
journal, whether any particular harm can
e-omo from sleeping in a ecrtaiu position
which the imiiviiiue.l unconsciously assumes.
(Ibst-r vat ions made upon ."i." soldiers thow
that ."r.5 per cent, slept uj'on tho right side,
'-' per cent. u;on tho left and '.." per cent, em
the back. A physician, however, says that it
is better to lie on the right side, in tho al
neneo rif sH-e-ial disease-:, such a; lung disease,
rendering it d'-sirable to iio on ti;e weak side,
sons to leave tho healthy lung frco te ex
pand. "When rest is taken on tho right sido, the
body is plaeeel whe re thes food gravitates more
easiij- out of the stomach into tho intestines
and the weight of the Ete.uiae-h elejes nejt com
press tho upper portion ef the intestine's.
To show how difficult it is fer eloctors to
agreis, their opinions en tlie proper position
eluriug sleep may be contiuueel. Uno of
them maintains that lying fiat on tho back
with tho limbs relaxe d v.-.ml-i seem to soouro
tho greatest amount of rest for tho muscular
system. This is tho posit ion assumed in tho
most eshm-.st ing diseases, end it is generally
hailed as a token of revival when tho p.itie-nt
voluntarily turns on the side. Sleeping with
arms thrown over tuo head is to Iw depre
cated, because it creates a lendosiey to cramp
and coll in the arms, and sometimes seems to

Hints for Modern iJurbers.
Our Saxon ancestors appear to have de
voteel considerable attention to tho subject of
their hair. Though ignorant of mae-assar
oil, the-y eliscove-reel that elead be-es burned to
ashes and seethed in oil with leaves of willow
wor.ld f.top hair from falling otl; but should
the hair be- too thie-k, then must a swallow Le
burnixl to ashes uneler a tile, and tho a:;hei be
sprinkled on tho head. Iut in order alto
gether to prevent tha growth of hair, em
mets' eggs rubbed on the plr-ce arc found an
t-li'ectual elepilatory; "never will any hair
come there." Nineteenth Century.
