V 'irUlug (las Alarm.
Psyohnlogists assert that civilizedhn-
man beings aro growing more absent-
minded, Tee average man of intetic-
genne to -day is not so alert, not so
conscious of his immediate environ-
ments as he was a century ago. IIs
does more thinking than lie did then,
and a greater part of his business in
life is loft to the purely mechanical
brace functions.
The inventors, always a step ahead
of the requirements of the times, are
already at work devising eontrivanees
to summon absent attention. One of
the latest of these Is a bracelet that
has an alarm watch attached to it. The
wearer, having an engagement at a
certain hour, sots the watch, and when
the time arrives is little needle point
pricks her arm and reminds her of
the duty to be performed. This is
only one of many devices for like pur-
poses. People want to be relieved of
the trouble of calling; things to mind,
and that Ls one reason why thereare
sci many inventions employing clock-
work.
SOME ALARMS.
At the Patent Office, at Washing-
ton, it large class of inventions iscom-
prised under the head of "alarms"—
these being machines by whioh persons
who otherwise would not think are
made to think. The average indi-
vidual is obliged, however unwillingly,.
to get up at a certain time in the
morning. To provide for this re-
quirement many ingenious persons have
applied their talents to the production
of contrivances for awakening people
and compelling them to arise. There is
a kind of bedstead for example, which
holds its mattress in a. frame that is
retained in the normal position by a
catch. At the proper hour the catch,
operated by a clockwork mechantsm,
loses its grip, and the mattress frame
becomes vertical,inslea.d of horizontal,
throwing Sleepyhead out upon the
floor.
There is another sort of bed which
lets Um head of the sleepy person drop
when getting up time arrives, one end
of tbe mattress frame collapsing. But
one of the queerest of the patented
metbods of waking people up involves
the employment of a tin pan and a
weight hung by a cord. When the
hands of a clock reach a certain point,
the weight is released and falls upon
the pan making a dreadful racket. An-
other oddity is a frame from whith.
are suspended it number of corks.
During the night it is lowered gradu-
ally by a. clockwork mechanism, until
at th,e proper hour and minute the
dangling corks begin to bob against
the nose and face of the sleeper. Of
course ire wakes up. The most obvious
advantage of these sleep alarms is that
they render anxiety on the part of the
sleeper, unnecessary, so far as rising
is concerned. He can sleep undis-
turbed by the necessity of watching
himself.
PROTECTION FOR RUSTICS.
Country visitors in thea city will in-
sist on blowing out the gas, notwith-
standing all the newspaper jokes on the
subjeot. To provide against such ac-
cidents, ra, citizen of Ashland, Wis., has
invented a little apparatus thatls in-
tended to be attached to every gas fix-
ture in a hotel. The breath of a per-
son who ,Attempts to turn out the gas
tilts a delicately balanced electrode and
closes it cirouit, giving an alarm in the
officio. Another kind of alarm notifies
the householder of eseapiug gas. If
yon are afraid of pickpookets, yon
can obtain protection by wearing a
email machine that makes a big dis-
turbance, in ease any body tries to put
his hand into your pocket.
Even after death youmay find alarms
a service. if a grave robber comes
along, a torpedo placed in the coffin
for that purpose will blow him to
smithereens. Supposing that the dis-
turbance wa.kes you to life again a
clockwork mechanism will start a bell
to ringing, while a red flag rens up to
the top of the tombstone giving notice
that a prompt resurrection is desired.
Speaking of waking nee suggests men-
tion of some odd contrivances for doing
necessary things before getting out of
bed in the morning. One of these en-
ables one to tura on the draught of a
stove or furnace, and then turn over
for supplementary snooze. This,
however, is a primitive contrivance
compared with the invention which
provides for the feeding of a. whole
stableful of live stoek at daybreak.
Mr. Sleepyhead simply turn.: on bis
pillow and ,jerks a cord; which opens
a valva in the stable and lets down
the requisite 2urantity of feed into a
trough.
A FIRE t,xGIITING C'LOCIC.
There are rialto a. number of inven-
tions for lighting the fire in the morn-
ing without getting out of bed. They
are all operated by clockwork. The
newest end best of them is credited to
an Illinois genitt,'s. A clock is set for a

Science has fully established the
fact, that all the nervous energy of our
bodies is generated by nerve centres
located near the base of the brain.
When the, supply of nerve force has
been diminished either by excessive
physical or mental labours, or owing to
a derangement of the nerve centres, we
are first conscious of a languor or tired
and worn-out feeling, then of a mild
form of nervousness, headache, or
atom'Icb trouble, which is perhaps suc-
ceeded by nervous prostration, chronic
•ndtgestion, and dyspepsia, and agen-
eral sinking of the whole system. In
this day of hurry, fret and worry, there
are very few who enjoy perfect health;
nearly everyone has some trouble, an
eche, ne pvin, a weakness, a nerve
trvuhrs something wrong with the
scot -t wrh and bowels, poor blood, heart
disease, or sick headache; all of which
aro brought on by a lack of nervous
energy to enable the different organsof
the body to perform their respective
work.
South American Nervine Tonic, the
marvellous nerve food andhealth giver,
is asatisfying success, a wondrous boon
to tired, sick, and overworked men
and women, who have suffered years
of discouragement and triedall manner
of remedies without benefit, It is a
modern, a scientific remedy, and in its
wake follows itbounding health.
It is unlike all other remedies in
ehatitis not designed to act on the
different organs affected, but by its
direct action on the nerve centres,
which are nature's little batteries, it
causes aninoieaeed supply of nervous
energy to be generated, which in its
turn thoeoughly oils, as it were, the
machinery of the body, thereby en.
abling it to perform perfectly its dif.
ferent functions, and without the
slightest friction,
If you have been reading of the re-
markable cures wrought by South
American Nervine, accounts of which
we publish from week to '0 eek, and
are still sceptical, we ask you to in-
vestigate them by correspondence, and
become convinced that they are true
to the letter. Such a course may save
you menthe, perhaps years, of suffer.
ing and anxiety.
The words that follow are strong,
but they emanate from the heart, and
speak the sentiments of thousandsmi
women in the United States and Can-
ada who know, through experience, of
the healing virtues of tiie South
American Nervine Tonic.
Harriet E. Hall, cf Waynetown,
prominent and muck respected
writes as follows
" I owe my life to the great South
American Nervine Tonic, I have
been in bed for five months with a
scrofulous tumour in my rigbt hide,
and suffered with indigestion and
nervous prostration, Had given up
all hopes of getting well. Had tried
three doctors, with no relief. The
first bottle of Nervine Tonic improved
me so much that I was able to walla
about, and a few bottles cured me en-
tirely. I believe it is the beat medic
eine in the world. 1 cannot recom-
