Thus a hull dog requires more sleep than a grey - hound. ami a sparrow than a pheasant; by a parity of reasoning a man requires more than a woman. But tlii* rule ihn-s not invariably hold good. A wea sel, a mole, a dormouse, and a stoat are all smallhralnod animals, and siren much more than the sparrow, which has relatively the largest brain among birds (and i- therefore the most quar relsome of thorn all), or than a man, whose brain is, lu prvqwirtion, much larger than an elephant's.

They hail also a power to sleep at will, of which we shall speak preseutlv. The method of deep, and the devo tion of particular hours to it. are ques tions of habit. Birds and beasts, un less they are domesticated and sophis cated by man's habits, retire to rv-t at sunset, and awake at sunrise.

But iu the country and in towns we take our way beilwanis between the hours of nine and twelve, except ladies and gentlemen in the "season," who. we are told, work very hard at "fash ionable society," from three in the af ternoon, when the "morning" callers are abroad, till three in the" morning. This ha- been the practice in the civil ized world for the last hundred and fifty years. Three hundred or even two hundred years ago, five and six o'clock breakfasts, twelve o'clock dinner* and amusements, even the theatre at two and three In the afternoon, produced early risers and early -leepers.

Chinese Children- There are many curious ceremonies and observances connected with a child's early years, which it would be impossible to describe in detail. The following are among the more note worthy and important: When the baby is a month old its heaii is shaved for the first time, aud ou this occasion a thank offering is made to a certain goddess ; at the end of the fourth a family feast lakes place, and the maternal grand mother is expected to make handsome presents, including a species of chair for the child's use; at the end of a rear there are more thank-offerings, more feasts, and more presents; still later on there in the quaint ceremony of "passing through the door." "These and similar faintly custom* have con stantly to be observed until the child "(rues out of childhood," an event which takes place usually, though not necessarily at the aire of sixteen; at this period the child becomes an adult. and is expected to nut away childish things. But although sons be come men at this earlv age, they are by no means exempted from parental authority, for, unites they happen to be in the service of the state, when the Emperor takes the place of their pa rents, they are bound to yield implicit obedience to their fathers as loug as tbev live. The same rule, of co.irse, will be understood to apply with even greater force in the case of daughters. This is the strict theory of Chinese customs, but the practice of every day life is necessarily not quite consistent with it. In cases of extremely cnlilial behavior, it sometimes, thongh not of ten, happens that parents cite their children before the magistrates and get them punished. Cases of parricide and matricide are treated in a very strange manner among the Chinese, for the murderers are not only beheaded, but cut up in to little pieces; their houses are pulied down and the foun dations dug np; punishment is even indicted upon their neighbors, and the very officials are degraded on account of such horrible crimes having happened within their jurisdiction. In reference to some of the matter* of which we have just been speaking, it will not be with out interest to notice what is laid down in regard to the various stages of a man's life in the Book of Kites, a work which is held in the highest esteem by the Chinese. From birth till 10 years old, it is said, man is called a child, and ' then liegins to learn ; till * he is called a youth, aud ia then capped; to 30, he is in his manhood, and may marry ; at 4<>, he is of fall strength, and may enter the magistracy ; at 50, he become* gray, and may serve in the highest offices of state; at 00, he become* advanced in vears, and may direct affairs; at 70, tie tiecomes an old man. and may retire from the cares of public life ; at 00 and 90. he becomes intirm and forgetful. Till 7, the child is an object of compas sion, and both lie and the mau at 70. and 80 are not liable to punishment when guilty of crimes. \\ hen a man reaches 100 years, then he must be fed. —Sunday Magazine.

The skins are sent to the man ufacturer packed in salt, and are tirst of all washed, and then carefully freed from all the fat that remains on the tleah side. Then they are washed once more, and after the grease and water have been removed by a knife, they are tacked on frames to keep them smooth and earefullv dried. After another washing the far is dried by stove heat, the pelt being kept moist, and then the picker puts the warm skin on a beam, and removes the main coat of hair with a dnll shoe knife, bciug careful to pull the hair without brcsak iog it; after doing this thoroughly, be goes over the skin again with another knife and removes all the tine hairs, not touching the fur, dries the skin, then dampens it on the pelt side, and shaves it to an even surface. Then the skins are Btretched and worked and dried, and are then softened in a fulling-mill or sometimes trtidden out. The workman dings them iuto a hogs head from which one head has been removed, pats in a little tine saw-dust to absorb the grease, and dances on them to break them into leather. After this they are dyed, ten or twelve coats being the usual number, and they are washed once more and the fur is dried, the pelt being left moist. Still they are not ready to be made up, and so they are shaved again and dried and worked and softened in a hogshead, and then run in a revolving cylinder with tine saw-dust to clean them.

PAVOCO FAKMV IKIS. For paving with stone, large, fiat stones are object ionable, because stock are liable to slip on them and be Injured. Flat stones, uot more than eighteen or twenty inches square, however, can be em ployed for this purpose, but even then it Is better to alternate them w Ith rows of cobble-stones. On a heavy soil it is desirable to draw In a coating of fine gravel, six or eight inches thick, in which to set the -tones, bringing them all to a level by excavating to let the large ones down so thai the upper sur face of all may t>e at an equal height. As they are set, ihev should have fine gravel scattered over them to fill up the spaces between the stones,and a paver's pounder should be used to drive them ail down firmly, eo as to leave an even surface, sloping regular iu accordance with the designated grade towards the oeutre of the yard. A trowel 1* useful in laving cobble stone pavement, in order to handily fit the stones into the soil, that they may all be level on the top, and a stretched line as a guide i- a great help for this purpose. KITCIIKX GAsparagus if not yet manured, should not be neglected until later, else there Is danger of freezing, t'ut off the tops ami burn, to destrov the -eeds. Store celery In tranches a foot wide, and as leep a* the height of the stalk-. Place the plant- close together, with out any earth between them, and cover with sirpw aud boards, increasing the thickness of th\j covering as the cold increases. Cold-frames. Prepare and have these In readiness at once, for fear of sudden freezing. Cabbages aud other half-hardy plants may lie kept over winter in safety in them, and also any seeds which do not like much moisture during the winter. The best plan for storing cabbages is to lay down two rails four to six inches apart, and then place the cabbage* heads downwards on them, leaving the roots exposed; then turn a furrow towards them on each side, aud by the aid of thes|ndecover the head with four to six inches of earth. Select a dry place where water dots not stand. CovrEi.vo Vnats.—The laying down and covering of grape vines with earth alway* 9eemct to u a trooble*oinp job; and sometimes they came out in the spring in a worse condition than some of the same varieties left upon the trel lises unprtected. This will some times happen in a wet, mild winter. If the vines lie cut loose from the trellises and a little fine brush or weeds thrown on them, thev will usually come out all right; or, if left on the trellises, and corn balder be set thinly against the vines, It will be quite sufficient, and no danger of injury. The same is applicable to raspla-rry canes that are half hardy only. It Is the sun In winter that helps to do the mischief.

By a peculiar process the w heat, previously well cleaned, is driven into a receptacle with great force by a blast of coin pressed cold air, aud by the consequent attrition the grains are reduced to flour, the bran al*o being reduced to as flue a powder as the rest of the grain. The Hour thus produced is free from some of the objections made against (indium flour on account of the coarseness of the particle* of bran contained in it. The flour being kept perfectly cool during the process, also retains its properties uninjured by heat as in grinding by millstones. WOODS* FLOORS POR HORSE STALLS.— After twelve month*' trial, a London cab-proprietor has come to the conclu sion that to stable his horses on a wooden grating is far preferable to leav ing them to stand on brick or stone. lie has titled two stalls with a grat ing of wood, two inches thick by tlirec inches broad, with a space one-fourth of an inch between each two planks, the whole bolted together by three iron rods and three cross-pieces. He says the horses lie high and dry, and he saves by that means in straw 20 per cent. The frame can be removed and the bottom washed down, and thus there is a gain in comfort and cleanli ness.

When the boiler is tilled, the exhaust ' steatu is conveyed through an extended | overflow pipe into a hot water tank, and thence it is reconvejred at boiling poiut through the same tulve back into the boiler along with the exhaust steatu and cold water. The invention has been at work for three months on the Manchester and Mdford Railway with uiost satisfactory results.

The acoustics of large rooms, accor ding to a writer in one of the German technical journals, is a subject but little understood.

This writer likewise remarks that Iwith the surface and the material of public structures need scientific in vestigation, that the part they play in this respect may Ive better understood ; also, that sounding hoards, usually formed without knowledge of proper adaptation, should be regulated in size and form arcordingtothetrueprinciples of scientific const-net ion, anil that the material ought to be very carefully se lected. Solid Canting*.— A method has l>een devised by an English inventor, by which, in the running of steel and other metals, in a molten state, into ingots or other mould*, a mnch greater degree of solidity, and consequently of *trength aud endurance is insured. In the production of ingot* and cast ings by this means, an air-tight cover is fixed on the top of the mould, with an aperture for running the metal into the same, either through the cover, or other convenient point; and connec ted with this cover is a tule or pipe, with stop valve communicating with a vacuum chamber. At the proper time, the stop-valve is opened, nnd a com munication is established lietween the mould and the vacuum chamber, by which mean* the air in the mould and the vapor arising from the molten me tal, are instantly drawn away —or the mold and boi are fixed in an air-tiirht chamber, anil the air antl vapor then withdrawn in the manner described. The vacuum may, in this arrangement, bo established and maintained bv an air ptitnp or other ordinalv method; and the method is both effective nnd free from complication. Another process is now proposed for smelting irou.the idea being to pulver ize the ore and fluxing materials with a certain proportion of carbonaceous matter and incorporate the whole, by means of hydraulic cement, into solid masses or lumps, like concrete or mor tar, these blocks being placed in an or dinary smelting furnace iu layers al ternating with such proportion of fuel, as will, in conjunction with that con tained in the blocks, effect the complete and thorough reduction of the incorpo rated ore. A supplementary fuel or combustion chamoer Is provided, exte rior to the smelting furnace, with an opening into the latter opposite the blast-pipe nozzle, oy which means bit u minous coal, coal dust, or other suitable fuel may be employed, in duantity eas ily regulated, and burned under the impact of the blast and supply heat. The fuel-chamber is also provided with a feed, hopper, rod, and ularuin, to in dicate when the fuel is at such a state as to require replenishing or renewing this being indicated by the descent of the rod. as the fuel Is burnt away, acting on a bell. —TIC.
