Let us suppose, then, a person to be in a particularly wakeful state, and that he lias tossed and tumbled about into the small hours of the morning without any feeling of somnolence. If he should now desire deep repose, the following proceed ing must tie adopted: He is to lie on his right side, with his head comfortably placed on a pillow, having the neck straight, so that respiration may he unim peded. Let him then close his lips slight ly and take a rather full respiration, breathing through the nostrils as much as possible. This last, however, is not abso lutely necessary, and some persons breat he habitually by the mouth. Having taken the full respiration, the lungs are to be left to their own action; that is, res piration is not to be interfered with. At tention must be fixed upon the respira tion. The person must imagine that ho sees the breath passing through bis nos trils in a continuous stream, and at the in stant that lie brings his mind to conceive this, apart from all other ideas, conscious ness leaves him and he falls asleep. Sometimes it happens that the method uucp uui ill uiiuu suititu. 11 nuuum uo persevered in. Let the person take in thirty or forty full respirations nnd pro ceed as before, hut he must by no means attempt to count the respiratory acts, for if he does, the mere counting will keep him awake. Even though he may not now succeed in procuring very sound sleep, he will at least fall into a state of pleasant repose. Such is the account, somewhat abridged, of this much valued “Art of procuring sound and refreshing sleep at will,” given by Mr. Binns in his “Anatomy of Sleep.” He, it seems, pur chased the secret troiu Mr. Gardner, and hints at his generosity in having made it public gratis. It is founded on the prin ciple that monotony, or the influence on the mind of a single idea, as we have al ready shown, induces slumber. The in ventor has for years suffered great agony with consequent sleeplessness, from an injury of his spine. In this sad condition, opium ami other sedatives were found rather to increase than to allay his (suffer ings. He was a contemplative man, and at length discovered the secret of “sub duing sleeplessness and commanding re pose by a simple effort of volition.” The plan is at all events safe and easy of ap plication, and any wakeful reader can test it on himself. John A. Fleming. SI MM ROOMS. Every woman is wise enough and care ful enough lo secure for her house-plants every bit of available sunshine during the cold winter months. Great care is taken to get a southern exposure for them. In deed, if one can secure, no other than a north window for her plants, she has too much love for these unconsious, auimate things to keep them at all. She would rather leave them out in the cold to die out right, than linger out a martyr exis tence in the shade. Folks need sunshine quite as much as plants do. Men and women who have a lair degree of strength and the use of their legs, can get out into the world and get a glimpse of the sunshine now and then, and if they choose to do so, let them live in rooms with a northern exposure ; but it it is possible, let us secure rooms into which every possible ray of sunshine that tails in winter may enter, for the little babies who are shut up in the house, in valids who cannot leave their rooms and aged people who are too infirm to get out doors. Let us reflect for a moment that these classes of persous, if kept in rooms with only north windows, will sutler just as much from the absence of sunshine as green, growing plants would do iu the rooms, and their suffering is of account in proportion as a human being is better than a geranium or a fuchsia. Every body knows how a bright, sunny day in winter gladdens every one who is situated so as to enjoy it. Let us make some sae rifices, if need be, in order to give the feeble ones their measure of sunshine.— Laics of Life. PRESERVING EGGS. A writer in the Rural gives several methods lor preserving eggs, as follows: We have tried several modes and never found any difficulty in keeping eggs any desired length of lime for culi nary purposes, seemingly as good and fresh as when first laid. Our principal mode has been that recommended by Mods. Charles Jacque, which from several years' experience, proved one of the best we ever tried; having succeeded in keep ing eggs nice for use from six to eight months after they were laid. He says: “The most certain and most lasting mode of preservation consists in covering the eggs in ajar filled with lime water, recent ly prepared, and keep them in a cool place. The lime water is prepared from quick lime or that which has been slacked but lately, by placing it in a quantity of water greater than would cover the eggs. The milk of lime which is thus formed is al lowed to stand several hours. The clear liquid which separates itself from the excess of lime used is the lime water, which is poured otf for use. Lime water not only prevents the evaporation, since the eggs are plunged in the liquid, but the alkali which it holds in solution closes the pore of the shell and prevents all fermen tation, either of the eggs or tho organic matter which the water might contain.” We have had good results also from packing eggs in very dry barrel salt, which nave kept for months in a well-pre served state. Our mode was to stand a box or stone jar in a cool place in the cel lar : put therein a layer ot salt, then one i of eggs, with the large ends downward, I taking care that the eggs did not touch one another; continue this practice until the jar or box is full; cover the box and let it stand without disturbing until the eggs are needed for use. We have packed ! eggs in this way in June and Julv, and found them in January and Fubruary per fectly tresh in looks and having no* stale ■ or musty taste when brought to the table.
