Rlcepteunm There is no class of literary people who are more liable to be affected by the state termed "sleeplessness," than eehool teachers. To such persons, the theory of Dr. J. S. Jewell, of the Chi- •age Medical College, developed in a reeent lecture, will be of value. His I4»a ic that in sleep the brain is par­ tially exhausted of blood. When one lain an excited and sleepless condition we Aad the brain to be possessed of •era than its usaal amount of the vital fluid. The remedies for eleep- leasne§s. therefore, should be directe d •ethe proper regulation of the blood. la health this office is done by a beau­ tiful self-regulation system, the nerves (tapes exhausted parts of the body act- upon the base of the brain, there­ by checking the flow of blood to the head and bringing about the conditio;i of fleep. But in ea.«e of sleeplessness cawed by overwork or congeitioa of the brain, some immediate remedy U •flea oeedei t» prevent exhaustion.

He nee it Is inferred that the common belief that sugar i» Injurious to Uie teeth ie es error. The pressure of the Water of the ocean is estimated at a too weight on the square taeh for •fery thousand fathoms of depth, so thai at & depth of 2,500 fathoms there Is a pressure of two and one-half tons to the sqoare Inch of surface. It is no weader that all tbe animals brought up from great |depths by dredgiug are found to be dead. Tli« teller of the mail steamer *Cesarewltci»," which plies on the Cas- flan Sea, are heated by petroleum mfu%B Instead or ooal. The heating apparatus consists of two tubes, about •& inch in diameter, terminating at the aaane point in a small oblong brass box. Through one of these tubes the Mack naptha drops slowly, and is tHown Into spray by a jet of steam from the boiler, conveyed through t he ••eond tube. The spray, when ignited, forms a great sheet of flame, which passes Into the hollow of the boiler. It la easily controlled, there are no aehes, and one man can manage the boiler. This seems to be a practical test of the value of petroleum as a fael. The experience of a resident of Ap­ ple ton, Wis., seems to show that other kinds of dust besides flour are explo­ sive under certain conditions. The loft of his spoke mill, in that city, was •coupled solely for finishing the spokes which were polished by contact with rapidly revolving sanded belts. The •»'©e>Bi, was warmed by a box stove. The light, fine dust would accumulate In ©wry crack and crevice of the room, requiring cleaning of! every day. One day some of the dust was seen to fall from a rafter upon some live coals that had accidentally got out upon the hoarth of the stove. Instantly there was a flash that rilled the whole loft, and fl was on fire in a hundred dlfler- •at places. JEWELRY, Silverware, &c. RICHMOND, ILL. JOHN DONOVAN. T. J. Dacy & Co.
