The Art of Sleeping. Most of the men who Imre ma !o their mark ns suecesslul leaders have lieen good sleepers ns we l ns hearty workers. Napoleon Bonaparte lost no opportunity either for n good sleep or a good meal. Even before going into battle he would take a few hours tor sleep if possible. The Duke of Wellington was such n sound sleeper that lie seldom moved from the. time he elosed his eyes until he awoke. He used a very narrow bed, and enid thnt when it was time tor a mr.n to turn in his bed it was time to get up. Henry Ward Beecher is known to be a good sleeper. He falls asleep in a moment after his head has touched the pillow. These men tnd other great workers have had a faculty which is nn important addition to the mere taking of sleep. It is the power of withdraw ing one’s self from all surrounding per sons and objects nnd finding immediate rest in slumber. Theman who can thus take rest is refreshed and strengthened under many circumstances which would keep other people weary and wnkeful. He is master of every situation as re- g ards his own rest. Some men, by long a bit, find themselves able to take sleep with the same case that others would take a glass of water. They can sleep either while perched on a high stool or rattling along in a railroad car at forty miles nn hour. The economy of wear and tear on the lives of such people is wonderful. The man who cannot sleep unless he has first removed his clothes, S ut out the light and climbed into his cd is at a great disadvantage. Greater yet is ids disadvantage if he can sleep in no bed but his own. There are some who are possessed with the notion that their own bed is the only one in which they can slumber. These people are utterly wretched when they go to the ountry where the beds arc stuffed with straw or shnvings, and where thesprings are made of noisy material, which re sounds whenever touched. When they go to Europe and are forced either to stay awake or to sleep in quarters not much larger than tho shelf of n mantel piece, their misery is too great for utter ance. Much of the comfort and discom fort experienced in sleeping and in trying to sleep is tho result of habit. There are some people who toss on their beds for half the night, iu if they were uneasy ghosts. They have never learned to sleep. It is the power to shut one’s self within one’s self that constitutes one of the ap proaches to healthful sleep. There nre objections to sleeping in church which need not in this connection be recounted. But the mau who has by patient habit aceustomcd himself to slumbering un der a sermon can learn to go to plcep anywhere and under any circumstances. He is sometimes seen iu a snug corner of a str et car, when several ladies ap pear on the platform seeking seats. Ho often finds it convenient when a boro addresses him to bo able to subside into slumber. When his mother-in-law wearies him with protracted discussion of uninteresting suhjects, it is ever so delightful to sleep, or to seem to sleep. Good sleep is a blessing from heaven, and he who can sleep, whether flics crawl on him, mosquitoes bite him, cross people scold him, or noisy children dance and play in his presence, is blessed indeed.—Philadelphia, Times. A Diver’s Keninrbnble Feats. The London Times thus describes some of tho remarkable performances under water of a diver named Fleuss: His remarkable performance wns better seen than it has been elEewhcie either during the few months of tho exhibi tion of his apparatus at the Polytechnic or at Brighton. He can stay under wnter for five hours without an air tube or any ether communication witli the sur face, and the absence of incumbrance gives him mucli greater freedom than any other divers possess. lie can, for instance, lie down and bend his nody in any position without tear of being lifted or floated up, and without suffer ing from tho obstruction of the long pipe which usually connects the head of a diver with a boat above. In short, he possesses the principal advantage which distinguishes nn animal from a plant; he moves independently instead of be ing rooted to one spot. Foreshndowcd in tiie water, lie presents a curious ap pearance, with great gogglo eyes in his burnished liemlot, a strong water-tight dress, and water-boots. The spectators amuse themselves by throwing pence for him to pick up, or by writing mes sages to him on card-board, always under wnter. He sharpens Ids pencil under wa’er, gives and receives signals with a cord, and is to experiment on the submarine use of the telephone. At Ilyde he walked for a quarter of a mile under the sea; at Brighton lie went down in five fathoms by the chain pier in rough weather. If he could cat under water, Mr. Fleuss says he could stay for a longer period than five hours, which he gives as an ordinary limit Yesterday afternoon he remained two hours and seven minutes under water in the aquarium, and again went down for halt an hour in the evening. In a short lecture on his apparatus which Mr. Fleuss gave in tho evening, immedi ately on returning to the upper air, lie stated that his method is no secret, Mint it is patented, and that tho specifica tions arc accordingly published. In every draught of breath we draw we take in a certain amount of oxygen witli four times as much nitrogen. A little of the nitrogen becomes fixed in the form of carbonic ajid, and tho air thus deterioated becomes unfit to breathe. It, however, the place of the missing oxygen is taken by a fresh supply, the mixture becomes again fit for breath ing. According to Mr. Fleuss, lie takes down compressed oxvgen to supply the place of that which is breathed; in other words, lie lias invented a set of anti lungs, which perform a (unction pre cisely the reverse of that of the lungs proper. This was confessedly a rough, popular, hasty, and generalized expla nation. Rejected Manuscripts. Rfjected contributors are sometimes avenged. A Scotch newsDaper, the Orecnoek Advertiser, has ceased to exist, after a life of seventy-eight years. This paper will be remembered for one thing I e i ectf, d Campbell’s poem of Hohenlmden, on the ground that it was “not up to the mark” Campbell him self thought lightly of the poem, it is said, until he was assured by Sir Walter Scott that it was one of the finest things of the kind that he ever read. Since that time, the poem has been worn out by the myriads of schoolboys who have spoken it in public on the stage. Char lotte Bronte’s great novel met with a similar ^reception. “Jane Eyre” was written in the gray old parsonage under the Yorkshire hills; the rough notes, sketched hasty in pencil, were tran scribed m a neat hand as legible as print, and the manuscript, in its brown paper wrapper, was sent off from the station-house at Kleighley to publisher alter publisher, only to find its way back again, “returned with thanks,’’ till the packet, scored all over with publishers’ names, and well-nigh worn out by its tiaveis, found its way into the hands of Messrs. Smith & Elder, with a stamped envelope inside for a reply. The story of Jane Eyre” is, with authors who cannot find a publisher, one of tho stand ing sources of consolation, and it is a very striking instance of the loose wav in which publishers’ readers now and then look through manuscripts that find their way into other hands. MAKING CAMPAIGN DANNERS. Oilil Thins* About i» Pruritus I’ollllcnl Inrinati-y. A New York reporter has been inter viewing several firms of that city who make ita business to manufacture politi cal banners. The reporter obtained some interesting information. Speak ing of the coming campaign, Mr. Corn- moss, one of the manufacturers, said to the reporter: “If lean judge anything from the business we are doing this year in comparison with that done years ngo, I should say that we were to have a very lively campaign. Wo have fifteen men at work making campaign banners, five of whom nre engaged in painting the portraits of the candidates. We have sold already thirty sets of heads six feet in length, considerably more than we sold four years ago.” “ From what State do you have the greatest demand for business?” “ We sell a great many in New York, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and New Jersey, but New Jersey is the ‘banner’ State.” Mr. Levy, of the firm of M. R. Levy & Co , said to the reporter: “ The cam paign has begun mucli more vigorously than it began in 1870, and it bids fair to be one of the liveliest wo have ever had.” “Where will the campaign be the liveliest P” “ In Connecticut and New Jersey, our orders wouid seem to indicate.” “How many men have you at work P” “Between sixteen nnd twenty. Wo, however, manufacture only banners. We sell torches, enps, etc , but only as agents for manufacturing Ileuses. Very few people have any Idea to what an extent tiiis business is carried. I know one firm in this city which will manufac ture torches and have already started to make 500,000 of them. They will prob ably make as mnny more before tho season is over.” “ Ho you employ good artists to paint your portraits.” "Ceitainly. Only a good one could do tho work satisfactorily. The men I employ nre nil portrait painters by profession. They do not let their friends know that they are doing this work. They get good pay, so they consent to do the work; nut they are not in tho habit of saying much about “How long does it take them to paint one of the largest portraits P” “ About a dav. They have workmen to help them fill out the mnrgins. Then they snvo considerable time in another way. They get a good drawing and pick through the canvas, so that they arc able to make the outlines of all the portraits without drawing each separ ately.” The American sign company on Fulton street wns next visited by tho reporter, and F. W. Cobb, one of the managers, was found engaged in super* intending the finishing touches to a bnnner. “ How does your business this year compare with that of 1870 P” “ It is much better. The campaign opened earlier than usual, and 1 thiuk it wiil be very lively. At all events, wo are making preparations for doing a largo business. We have laid in large stocks of caps, onpes, torches, banners, and every tiling that can possibly he used in a campaign." “ Can you give mo nny'idea of the extent of the business which is dono in these campaign goods in a presidential campaign P” “ I can only toll you approximately what wo did four years ago. Wo sola then about 50,000 suits, between 5,000 and 0,000 small flags and about 30,000 small badges. You eon judge, however to what an extent this business is car ried when I tell ycu that tliero arc ten or twelve different kinds of torches patented, and that the inventor of one of these lias been made rich by his royalty. There are a dozen different kinds of small flags, suits and shirts manufac tured.” “ How many men have you at workP” “ Eighteen now, I think. In a month or two, however, when tho orders for uniforms begin to come in, we shall probably have a hundred at work." The firm of Ilojor & Graham was next visited. Mr. Graham said: “ The campaign opened much belter than it did last year. And this improvement will last until November.” “ How largo a business do you think you will do this ycarP” ‘ Our regular business is sign-paint- lug. r >nd wo only go into this banner business as a side matter. Wo shall probably sell, however, about 200 of these large banners, 20x30 feet. These nre worth at least $l()0apiece.” " Has there been much advance in banner m iking in late years?” “ Yes, a decided advance. Formerly all those banners were of solid canvas and were so heavy that it wa3 almost impossible to keep them in place. Holes had to bo mado so that the wind would blow through. They were so made that the artists,' when painting them, had to work at a great disadvantage. These disadvantages have all been done away with by making the main part of ihe banner of network.” ‘ ‘So these portraits, here, were done by artists?" “Certainly; wo always have national academicians to do our work. If the artist who painted this were to paint my portrait he would charge me $200 or $300.” “ Do you have many committees from tho country to see youP” “ I should say so. They usually walk in here with their hats on, apparently expecting us to have everything they want ready for them. We usually agree to finish their banners for them by Saturday night. We aro pretty sure of petting our money then. They get their banner and a pole, and then the usual ceremonies follow.” Words of Wisdom. Show me a people whose trado is dis honest, and I will show you a people whose religion is a sham. Childhood often holds a truth with its feeble fingers, which the grasp ol manhood cannot retain, which it is the pride of utmost age to recover. Many persons sigh for death when it seems lar off, but the inclination van ishes when the boat upsets, or the loco motive runs off the track, or the measles set in. Mere bashfulness without merit is awkward; and merit without modesty, insolent. But modesty with merit has a double claim to acceptance, and gen erally meets with as many patrons as beholders. To feel much for others and little for ourselves, to restrain our selfish and to indulge our benevolent affections, con stitute the perfection of human nature. The utmost excellence at which Hu manity can arrive, is aconstantand de termined pursuit of virtue without re gard to present dangers nnd advan tages. To do an evil action is base; to do a good action without incurring danger is common enough; but it is the part of goodman [to do great and noble deeds, though he risk everything. A new coral bank of great richness has recently been discovered in the Medi terranean, ten miles south of Sciarra, on the Neapolitan coast. How Postal Cards nre Made. In a long article on the history and manufacture of postal cards, tbo New York Sunday Afar* says that the Ameri can Phototype company—to whom tho contract tor making the postal cirdsof the United States was awarded in 1877 —carriedon the business intliat city lor two years, hut to save the expense and risk attending the transportation of paper from the mill at IloJyoke, Mass., the business was removed thither in tlie spring of 1879, a new building being erected for its accommodation. The main portion of the buiiding is divided by a partition through the middle. One side is used by \lie con tractors for manufacturing cards, and the other side by thesnecial agent of the postoftice and his subordinates, in the transaction of the government business pertaining to making up of orders and forwarding cards to the various post- oflices ordering them. No business of whatever nature is transacted witli more systematic precision than is main tained in both departments of the postal card agency. On entering the contractor’s side, the lrst thing noticed are the large piles of papor, which are delivered to the con tractors by the Parsons Paper company in loads ol 3,000sheets each. The works consume on the average about three ton3 daily at present. The process of manufacturing cards is neither lengthy nor complicated, but Is at once so novel and interesting that a brief description is worth recital. The sheets are about thirty by twenty-two inches in size, and nre just fitted by tho plates from which the cards are printed, each plate cover ing forty cards, four in width and ten in length. The printing is done on two Hoc superroyal presses, by skillful pressmen, and as each sheet passes into the press the number of cards is uner ringly recorded by registers attached to the presses nnd which aro carefully locked every night to prevent tampering. The sheets aro then piled up and allowid to dry in order that they may not be damaged by future handling. lucident to the rapidity with which the work is performed, now nnd then a sheet is mis printed, but this occurs only rarely, the number ol cards being spoiled in this way being not over ono-tenth of one per cent, or one in a thousand on the average. After drying thoroughly the sheets are then passed through tho rotary slitter, a machine fitted with circular knives, which cuts them into strips of ten cards each, and trims the edge of tho outside strip. These strips are then passed transversely through the rotary cross cutters, the mechanism of which is similar to the “ slitters.” The cross ci'ts divide the strips into the single cards, which drop into a rotary hopper containing ten compartments. As soon us each compartment has received twenty-live cards the hopper revolves and throws Die enrds out upon a table. A number of girls then lake them, and after throwing aside all damaged cards, bind tho perfect ones into packs ol twenty-live each. Other girls then take the packs, and, recounting them, put them in pasteboard boxes containing twenty packs or 500 cards each. The boxes aro made entirely of one piece of pasteboard, without scam or paste, and alter being filled are all weighed. Each box is supposed to weigh three pounds and two ounces. In the rear of tho bunding is a large fireproof vault, with a capacity for storing 25,000,000 cards. By tho stipulation of the contract the American Phototype company is re quired to keep at least 10,000,000 in store all the time. So rapidly lias tho popular demand for postal cards increased that the works havo lately been run night and day, em ploying in all nearly hfty hands, and producing nearly a million of cards a day on the average. The government portion of the works is no less interest ing than tho other. Hero the business is enrried on in a manuer similar to thnt in tho general postoflices in large cities. Every postollice in the country requir ing postal cards sends its order, to gether with a requisition for other sup plies, to Die oUlco of tile third assistant postmastcr-L'cnernl at Washington. There tho orders are separated, nnd all the orders for postal cards arc made up in one general order to the agency at Holyoke, the names of ordering post- oilices being put down alplicb tically. An order is sent every day, and oflen in cludes tho orders of several hundred postoflices, and requiring all the way from a few thousand to two, three and even four million cards to fill it. Dur ing tho first month in each quarter tho orders avernge mucli larger than at otlior tiuv s, lor, as a rule, a large num ber of offices order supplies in those months to last for the quarter. As an example of this there were ordered dur ing the months of January last 3(S 488,- 500 domestic cards, while 10,682,000 filled tho orders for February. A large portion of all the cards made are used in the Eastern and Middle States. Now York city alone uses about ten per cent, of the entire production. Chicago stands next to New York, using more cards than Boston. The Southern States take but few cards. The total number of cards issned dur ing the fiscal year ending Juuo 30, 1870, was 221,807,000. The department esti mate lor the year ending June 30, 1880, was 250,514,100. mi increase of seventeen per cent, over the previous yenr’s issue; but if the number issued lor the first eight months of the year should be continued proportionally till tho close, the year’s consumption would amount to 275,839,750. If alike increase were to bo presumed lrorn year' to year, betoro 1890 tho yearly issue of postal cards would exceed a thousand millions. Congress passed an act March 3, 1879, providing for the issue of international cards at a postal charge of two cents each. It was not, uowever, until December I that the first were issued. The demand for them lias not been as large as was anticipated. Up to March 1, this year, three months from the first issue, only 2,500,000 havo been ordered, and ot this number 1,000,000 went to Now York city.—Scientific American. A Fiddling Gorilla. A short time ago the dead walls and advertising posts of Munich suddenly broke outm all the colors of the rain bow, wifh announcements, couched in high-flown language, to the effect that on Buch a day the greatest wonder of the world would be submitted to pub lic inspection at the Coliseum, in the shape of a gifted gorilla, trained with infinite pains to perform an Italian concerto upon the violin. It may w< 11 be imagined, in so musical a city as the Bavarian ltesidenz, that the public responded in large numbers to this amazing invitation, and that the Coliseum was crowded to the ceiling on the opening night of the perform ance. There was the gorilla, horrible of aspect, but unquestionably skilled in the production ot sweet sounds lrorn an ordinary fiddle, delicately manipu lated by his formidable paws. A skep tical spectator, however, contrived to approach the simian executant, unob served of; its impresario, and to make a slight incision in its hide with a pen. knife. Strange to say, the animal did not flinch but fiddled on with stoic.il steadfastress. Encouraged in his sus picions by this most unmonkeylike impassiveness, the doubter seized Pongo from behind and shook him roughly; whereupon the seams of his skin gave way, and an elderly gentleman—tho impresario’s father—stood revealed to tie audience.—London Telegraph, Spotted Tail’s Children. A Washington letter says: The news that Spotted Tail, one cf tho Sioux chiefs, tiad taken his boys and girls away from the schools provided for them by tiie government is no surprise to those who heard Spotted Tail, Rod Cloud or others of the Sioux chiefs talk on that subject when they wire hero re cently. Spotted Tail, with Red Cloud and others, paid a visit to the Indian school established at Carlisle, Pa., on the way here, and called there on their return to their Western homes. Spot ted Tail, next to Red Cloud, is the Sliest looking Indian that comes here. lie was very much pleased with the things lie saw at Carlisle, and so expressed himself. After talking to the superin tendent of the school nnd the teachers for a while he called his boys and had a talk with them privately. lie learned from the boys that the rod was used when the boys did not do as they should, or when they sulked, lor be ft known that it is just as natural for an Indian, young or old, to sulk as it is for those distinguished politicians who w re not suited at Chicago. Spotted Tail, alter leaving, had a talk with the superin tendent, and he told him what he had heard. Ho asked if it was true. Upon being told that it wns, ho answered; “ Neither my boys or girls shall ever he whipped by any one with my consent. I will not leave them at aschool, or any other place where tho whip is used. A whipped bov is apt to grow up a whip ped man. Unless ho has some spirit or life in him it is better that lie know nothing. A whipped man has neitlior spirit or life." He then turned to the Indian children and said to them in the natural tongue: "Don't let any one whip you, teacher or any one else. You have no master. Never allow any one to strike you a blow.” An efl’jrt was made to satisfy Mr. Spotted Tai 1 that 1 lie whipping administered at Carlisle was the same as at other schools and wns oaly a slight affair. The idea of “ spar ing tho rod nnd spoiling tho child ” was suggested to him, hut he said lie did not believe in whipping in nny way ; that any man who struck his child had better keep out of his way, nnd that he would soou draw hi.s children from any place where they wore liable to be whipped, it mattered not how slight. This with drawal of liis children is the result. ■ He Lnnglied too Soon. lie was'a demure, countrified-looking man, and was remnrknbly awkward and shy.

All the afternoon William was chuck ling to himself, hut the Inst time lie smiled right heartily was late in tiie evening just before no settled with the boss, when that individual chucke.l him a bad livi-dollar bill, with tho humor ous remark: “ I’ll make you a present of that $5, William, uud lake it out of your salary at the end of the week ” A Talking l’lcturo Book.
