(To be Continued,) Y f Sprosperity seems in front of what Lord Salisbury a fete ears ago called a "decadent natio!,"' Orono owes her national existence to defeat. It tuns in 1881 that the Greeks made their first great strug- gle for national independence. 1'au'ope looker] on coldly, (Irene won a bat- tle or two, awl then the Turks, with 0 the nib of Egyptian troops, overran the whole country. (Treece groaned under such intoler- able tyranny that all Europe 18115 roused. Their sympathy was peneti- cal, It ended In the battle of Nov- arino; whore !hagfish, Trench and Russians, united, utterly destroyed the Turkish fleet, 13y 1831 (:recce was on its legs again, Even the recent war between Greece and Turkey, which ended in s0 heavy a defeat for t.lto (reeks, has clone the country good rather ,than harm.

And at the time not one Frenchman in a thousand dreamt of doubting this statement. Tho awak- ening was a terrible one, \Chen the Emperor rind Itis 83,000 men had surrendered at Metz the German victors insisted on•the record indemnity of 5,000 millions of francs ($1,000,000;000,000), Paris was to be occupied till the money was paid. The result was an amazing outburst of patriotism. Tho whole 5010 CMS paid off by September, '187(3, and then France set about Potting her hoose in order with a vengeance. There is no doubt in tho mind of any military authority that France's defeat of 18'71 has made that coun- try to -clay infinitely stronger both by sea and lend than she would oth- erwise have been. Then, too, the loss of Alsace-Lor- raine forced the attention of the French to foreign colonization, and to -day their colonial empire, which hardly existed thirty years ago, is second only in extent to our own. Austria's defeat at the hands of Prussia in 1866 offers another ex- ample of the good that can comp from defoat. Before 1860 Austria and Hungary were on the verge of a final split, a division which must have left then both at the mercy of enemies on every side. Their final defeat at Sadowa was indirectly the cause of the fa100115 I Ausgleich, tho agreement which still i exists between the two parts of the Empire. At the same time the harsh Press laws were relaxed, and education was treed, Another result was that the Aus- trian army was re -armed with the sante rifle which in the hands of the Germans had mainly contributed to the Austrian defeat. It was defeat which federated Italy and brought that country into the ranks of tho first-class Po'ers of Europe, - "When in 1840 the French under Marshal Oudinot took and oc- cupied Rome, and also at the same time tho Piedunonteso wore crushed by the Austrians, all Italy groaning under the yoke looked to the house of Savoy for help, and the way was prepared for Cavour, Garibaldi, and Victor Emmanuel, who between them frees! the country and federated into lone solid wholethe various small States into which it had so long been divided. (Inc more instance, Denmark for its size is far the richest country on rho Continent of Europe, and prob- ably also the freest, Its area is less than 15,000 square miles, its popu- lation about one-third that of Great- er Loudon, yet the (British alone buy $165,000,000 of goods, chiefly butter and bacon, from her yearly, and ler exports exceed her imports by $40,-' 000,000 n year, These and other benefits the Danes owe to the wise Constitution of 1866, and that Constitution grew out of the despair of her rulers when, two years before, Germany had crushedher ander 11, .mail -clad heel, and 'taken front her the groat . and valuable territory of Schleswig l lolstein. SALTING COWS. A thing that is sometimes lost sight of under pressure of other work is that of setting the cows. Row - over, enrelcsSness in this rego'd may be a rather expensive oversight. At the Mississippi :Cxperimeet Station three cows were kept without: salt for foul weeks and their mills record kept during the last two weeks of this period; then they 'were given the usual allowance of salt for two weeks, ,and of comparing the milk records it was found that the cows gave 4154. pounds of milk during the first period when salt Was withheld and 664 pounds during the second period when salt was• furnished, a two weeks in Savor of salting, WAIS CURED COUNTRIIES DEFEATS SOMETIMES BETTER it Tier !morels her with mixed fcel- I Thinking is good enough for me," ings.

In many ways she resembled England, as that cOtmtry was in the !Biddle Ages. The Mikado was only a name, and had little or no real authority, while the feudal system. was all powerful. It was the civil tvai' of the winter of 1807-68 which changed all this. It was a short, sharp struggle, in which many lives were lost, but both sides profited. The powe0 of the old feudal lords and of the Shogun was smashed, once and for all. So strongly has the country her- self recognized this war as the birth of Japan to her proper place as -a world's Power, that the Japanese themselves have named the period it inaugurated Meiji, or "Enlightened Peace." Dow quickly her Dyes were opened was shown by the throwing open of her ports to trade, her expedition to crush Formosan piracy in 1874, and her connnencement of colonization in Korea in 1872. The fact is that wars, though ter- rible in their cost of lives and wealth, Sometimes resemble the pow- erful drags, poisons at ordinary times, which doctors are forced to emplgy in extreme ca8es, Nowhere was the also of war better exemplified 111x1 by the awful civil outbreak in the United States in 1563-65. Before that date the so- called United States wore very far from being so in reality. North and South. were like two dilierent na- tions, c31c11 quite self-contained, and falling t'urtltcr apart year as yeal. When the question of the abolition of slavery 010110 to a climax the Southern States promptly seceded, and declared that they would form a s1Pa'atc confederation of their own.

The war has also weld- ed all the States, North and South, into one solid nation, When Spain fell boforo the United States in 1800, the -result to the European Power seemed at first ruin, utter and absolute. She had lost her navy and most of ler colonies at one blow. -Yet tho fact /Tannins that Spain has gone ahead more rapidly dating the past eight years than ever before in her national history, Cuba and the Philippines wove a constant drain on ]ler strength. Tier Cuban debt alone was $105,000,000 anti her Philippine $40,000,000, while in twenty-five years she hacl anastral the 11ve5 of over 60,000 sol dices in subduing insurrections in these islands, Not only did ehe got clew of this millstone of debt, but the Unitod Stales paid her a ihandsome sunt for Ciba and sent all her troops free of charge.

This docs not set the bone, but it keeps it from moving and gives comfort to the pat1e•1t until properly treated.

A good sleeper is one who sleeps well. Ifo may sloop quite enough in six or seven hours to answer all his needs, and it would be folly for 111m1 to lie in bed three or four hours more. As a lame, long-lived persons have been early risers because they have been good sleepers. 13y "good sleep" is meant sleep that is sweet 0.1111 sound, without dreaming— reireslung; the body recuperates wholly. Those who love Lo rise early generally aro of this sort, They have slrottg wills and good. health to begin with, Late risers ae often invalids, or per - 0011s or bad habits--ie!lees who aim never free from other vices besides idileness. The nervous exhaustion which keeps a mat' wakeful tlu'ough- opt the small hole's requires sloop late in the morning. This exhaus- tion is invariably due to ono of sev- eral life -shortening influences, especi- ally anxiety, or indiscretion in diet or drink, Early rising is thus rather one effect of certain favorable lutiu- onces—another result of which is longevity—oral a cause of longevity, To turn a weakly man out of bed every morning will not prolong his lifo ubloss he has slept enough. Pre- venting a weakly person from sleep- ing more than foul' or five hours nightly would not cause him to live to be old, but would tend to shorten his life. Early rising does not meals the time by the el.ock—tho word has a relative significance with the time of going to bed. A person Who re- tires to rest four flours after mid'• night and gots up at, 10 a,10, may be strictly regarded as an early ris- er, Thus early rising is synonymous with 51101'I sleeping, which moans ra- pid recovery from fatigue, itself a sign of bodily strength. Early ris- ing as a practice may bo oultivatod by all persons in good health. It is excellent as a moral discipline, and eminently healthy as a matter of tact, 1tost persons will eat throe meals daily. When a man gots up late, thoso meals will probably fol- low each other at too short. inter- vals, and be eaten too rapidly to bo evhales0lne, \VJlen he is an early ris- er, It will probably be otherwise, PIe eau enjoy a good breakfast, end when his outer meals are duo Ito will )a really for them, and with 13, good appetite, which is itself ono of the igen of health, Tho lata Sir Sian' Thompson t:t lninitnt surgeon, desired that his s g t ifs worts, "My Ptireonal Itecolleetlons," horrlti net ba published until ten after 0l 'lb prove to yen Urea ! t% 1 Il y Caaso's Oltttulont3eacortei0 and absolute cure for oacif and booty Corm of * pht(& 5 blo1155 (3+lnd St1011 !.
