If any one of our readers suffers from toothache or neuralgic affections, arising from teeth >n any t&te of decay, they say esjierienco relief, instantaneous and permanent, by stlturating small bit of clean ool with a strong solution of ammonia, and applying it immedi nttly 0 the the affected tooth.

Phenomena of Sleep. Professor Ferrier,-of King's Col- lejje, Xiesdon, who has_ made the phenomena of sleep a fepecial stndy, recently said in, a lecture Iheieon that anything tfeat has a tendency to extract blood from the brain fa vors sleep._ Exercise does this, V>er cause the moment the eary muscles ore at rest the blood rushes to them to rejiair their loss, and is absorbed by them. Digestion and hot dnnfcs produce the same result by drawing the blood supply fi'om the 'bruin to thestomach- (JonterwJy, any thing that stimulates the- brain, bueh us sighta, souiida, tfionght or anxiety, will keeps man awake. Ii we, thorefore,) wish ,for refreshing slum ber, we must begin by avoiding care and anxiety, and take sufficient liodily exercise to induce the neces sary ninscuLar exhaustion. With -regard) to'tho length of sleep, Dr. Feraer hold3 that the_ heart is not in a state of constant but of rythmical activity, a term of action beim^olio wed by a pant>e of rjpst, during which the heart is to all m tents and purjtose&apleep. lirfact, if the pauses of the heart are all summed up it will' be found that it rests or steeps eight lionrs out of twenty four, the sleep being in-^tbo proportion of one third as corn jiared with tie hours of action or oifc Eight hours are consequently suffi cient for the adult. Cabbage for Stock. There is more nutritive \aluo in eabbage and more profit in feeding it thsnjnost farmers are aware o -Havuig repeatedly raised this crop for a series of years, and under various conditions,, we are convinced that it will yield more good fodder on an acre that is, more njtritive value than-any other crop, unless it be Indian corn, Wh'-n fed to cows in milk, if blended with Jl moderate amount of other feed, it produces an unusual flov of milk, of -unsurpassed quality. Cabbages require no machine to cut them, and no process of cookingor steam ing. r Tbey are easily grown,, and preferred,1 by many who have given them a faif trial, to any variety of toots. If'more be raised than are required for feedings the balance can nearly^ always be ibid at a good profit, <be larger und coarser leaves being reserved for stock at the time of gulling; Another^ad vantage of tbu feed is the proportion of nitro gen contained in it, which gives superior value to the manure.

He Commenced as follows; " A lady friend and myself, last Sunday evening, went to Bed " With a fiitddea spring the old lofty bounced him out of tho house.

A Londpn journal "remarks " When fruit does barm, it is be cause it is eaten at improper times in improper quantities, or before it is ripened or fit for the human stomach. A distinguished physi cian has said that if his patients would make a practico of eating a couple of oranges before breakfast, from February to June his practice would be gone. The principal evil is that we do not eat enough of fruit, that we injure its finer qual ities With sugar; that we drown them with cream. We need the medicinal action of pure fruit aelds in our system, and their cooling corrective influence. Gems of Thought.
