Thus, a man in receipt of -iliMKiO j-r annum pays relatively more than whose vcar'lv earnings are S-".' H" or less. The object til the Jaw is t discourage large ait-umul:i-tioiHi of r rerty.

Hogarth, in his pie tire of the election riot, represents a man lunk iu the gutter, while near by lies Shis banner, inscrilcd : "(Jive us back our eleven days."

A Polar I lay is measured by tlie rota tion of the earth upon its axis, and is of different lengths owing V the ellipticity of the earth's orbit and other causes ; but a mean solar day, recorded by the time piece, is twenty-lour hours long. An Astronomical Hay commeneert nt noon, and is counted from the first to tho twenty-fourth hour. A Civil iay commences at midnight, and is coinited from the first to the twelfth hour, when K is counted again from the first to the twelfth hour. A Nautical I lay is counted as a Civil I 'ay, but commences, like an Astronomi cal I ay, from noon. A Calendar -Month varies from '2H to ol days. A Mean Lunar Month is 2) days, 12 hours, 4t minutes, 2 seconds, and 5.24 thirds. A year is divided into days. A Solar Year, which is the time occu pied by the Sun iu passing from one Vi r 11.

Ob the other side of the room, at the door of tho vault, is a similar enclosure, where sits th cust'sliaii of the plates, dies, roll, and other property. When the chief engraver comes iu the morning he makes a requisition 11 -on the custodian for such t.f these jirecious bits of steel as be wants. Finch piece lias its name or designation, whet her it is a bit of lathe work, a vig nette, r an entire plate, and when they are surrendered to the chief engraver upon requisition an entry is made upon tlie liook t.f the custodian. The Isxik-ketiiH-r or custtslian for Mr. O'Neil makes an entry t.n his Ixx.ks also, to show what he has received. Then, as the engravers want thedill'erent piifes t.f work, a simi lar nccount is kept with them, and no lion can leave the room until the Ix-oks show that, every piece of engraving that he had in his txe-sessioii has Is-en re turne.t, and he has a note from the chief engraver to show that such is the case. The watchmen would not let them out of the building without 1 his. When a Ih-U sounds at noon the engravers go to lunch, hut not outside the building. When the work is over for the day the .1. -counts 1st ween the chief engraver and his Mjlsrdinates are balanced, to show that each has returned all the work placed in his custody. The rolls and .lies and plates are returned by the chief en graver to the custodian I'roui whom he got th. 111. and if uo piece is missing his requisition is returned to him. and the pnerty locked iu the vault for the uighl.

Hut he must find out the causes of. his trouble, and endeavor to remove tlie1?-. for iu cases of in.o.ii.iei, as it i called by the profession, or, in plainer langu.'ge, sleeplessness, the treating t.f symptoms nloue is a dangerous practice, and wholly useless. Very often the first deviation from healthful sleep is wantonly, though unwittingly, caused by the individual himself. Alter lying down, he gives him self up to lit -s of thinking. These may, or may not, be pleasant enough at lir-t. but tho end, if the custom Is; not cut short in time, never fails to In-come disastrous. I may admit that the temptation to think in lied is often dillicult to resist. csjecially bv brain workers; but these person ought to ls-ar iu mind that, by giv ing way to it. they are j-ositivcly weakenim their brain and nerve power, and render ing themselves less capable of taking it solid stand in the everv-.lay battle of lif. The night is meant by nature for re jose and sleep, and we cannot thwart nature or break her rules vi ith any de gree of impunity. " r Sleeplessness, probably, in nine cast-3 out of ten. is caused by continual mental strain or worry. The1 capillaries of tho brain Is-coine stretched, and lose their resiliency; thev are unable, therefore, to empty themselves of hlosl when tho hour of rest comes round, and so wake fulness continues far into the night, until the Issly is fairly worn out, and siiik into the lethargy of exhaustion. It will le well for js-ople who sutler thus to take a holiday nt once. Alcove all otlx-r remedies for sleeptdss nc.ss, I place change of air and change of scene, in conjunction with plain, nutri tious diet uud a more natural way o living. Why can I not sleep? It may K that you really have unknown to you --soino junctional derangement of the liver, tho stomach, or tbe heart. If fl.is Is- n---nn.ved. sleep will return to your pillow, and w ith it, health. Think and consider whether of late volt have given way to any table indiscretion that may have aflected the liver, and rendered it cither slug-gish r loo active. In these cases, the blood will in reality have In-conic pois.me.1 and contaminated with bile, the mind becomes dull and jirobably gloomy all day, and over-acti vo tow aids nightfall. l'o you smoke? If so, a return to health i-i not to L;; expected until tho habit is overcome. i-ixetci-e iu 11I i':n lance taken .hni::g; the day in the open air is, iu hundreds: of cases, a cure i.-r s.., pk-ssness ; but this exercise should in it be of a t.. fatiguing, kind; it should be spread over a c.rcat many hours; it nhotild lie pleasant, calming exercise, and not coutim-cd up to a late hour. Oyer-fatiguo must be rarcftilly avoided. The practice? of taking stimulants to any extent is very Sipt to prod. ice sleeplessness, by keep ing up an unnatural excitement of tho brain. What I wish particularly t. imprt-s-? ujmu my readers, is the fact thai tho causes of sleeplessness must be sought out and removed, lefon thert: be the slightest chance or hoje of anything like a perma nent cure. Then hygiene steps in for regulation of .lit t, and of entire and conjplcte method of living. Pise betimes, and have that bracing, cold bath, with a few handfuls of sea-salt in it ; cat some fruit Itcfore breakfast, not ably prunes oranges gripes or stewed apples. Avoid tea and cofl'.-e and cigar allurement. Take 110 kind of stimulant. Avoid fret and care iind ov. r-excite-ment .luring the day. 1 evrmiiie, if you can. that nothing shall annoy oriintato you.

Take a g.xid walk about an hour before retiring for th" night. Itook upon narcotics, in any shape, aa xistn. And now a word or two about the bod r.xiiu itself. The r.xuu should be large, most cleanly, and free from dust, with a proper system of ventilation. The teliliH rature should be ns equable all through the night and though th" year as x. ssible, from ."x to IKr1 according to age; the t.ld and very young require more warmth than the young and middle aged. As to beds. T think the lH-st sleep I obtained on a wire mattress, over w hich is placed a lx-. of horse-hair several in ches in thickness. On the top of this may be spread two t.r three blankets' then the sheet. It will thus Ik- even and sm.xith. There is no doubt that many people will find it far Is-tter for their permanent health to sleep altogether in w.x. I, espec ially those who are of a rh.-umatie or gouty diathesis, or subject to colds and coughs. In those cases, the night-shirf should Is! w.1cii ; light woolen hed-soc ks should l-e worn, and the sheets should also of wro1. Not so the pillows, however, Id ealist the head should be kept cool dur ing sleep, and I would not counsel tin wearing even of night-caps, far less tho drinking of them. No more bcd-c..thos should be worn than are needed to keop up the tempera ture t.f comfort. Tho pillows should be large and springy, and not too yielding. Thev ought to.le is.v, rcd with' the softest and finest of linen. Curtains around (he bed are objection able, for the air one breathes at night cannot he too pure. The Ix'd should Ik raised alw nit two feet from tin- floor. Wo must not forget that the carbonic acid which we expire, if not carried away bv a judicious system of v.-nt ilai ion, Ii. s low, Iscing. heavier than air.
