Sleeping Habits.
To be ahlo to lie down at niglit and fall
to sleep within ten minutef , aud to know
do dream or waking until tho morning
comes, and then to boucd oat of bed full of
health, freshness and good liumor, is a
blessing well worthy tho warmest outgush'
ings of a thankful heart toward Ilitu who
giveth us all things richly to enjoy.
Some of the ways of attaining such a
priceless boon we here name.
Take dinner at the good old fashioned
hour of mid day ; eat nothing afterwards,
except at supper when a piece of cold
bread and butter with a single cup of weak
tea and half a glass of pure water is
enough for any body under ordinary cir
cumstances. If dinner is taken in the
uiddle of the afternoon, do not eat an atom
of anything until next tnornina Another
plan it to avoid sleeping in the -day-time,
and retire habitually at a regular hour.
In order to make u desirable result more
certain, remember practically tho follow
ing facts :
We need, ordinarily, seven hours of '
sleep in summer aud eight in the winter.
Wc breath in sleep about filteeu times
every minute.
Each inhalation of pure air is returned
liadcdwith poison j a hundred and fifty
graiusof it is added to the atmosphere of a
telroom every hour, or twelve burdr'ed
grains during a niht.
Unless the poison. laden atmosphere is
diluted or removed by a constant current
of air passing through the room, the blood
soon becomes impure, then circulates slug
gihhly, accumulating and pressing on the
brain, givitij me to frightful dreams. Il
the room is small and tight, the spectrial
nightmare, the fearful groan, the terrible
shriek, are the result, and in aggravating
cases, with the addition of a hearty late
meal, there is not strength to give the
moan, to raise the slriek, and thus arouse
the system ; there is no power to move,
the man feels a crushing danger coming
upon him, he cau't get out of the way.

Gichaltar Caye. The rcmarkab'e
rock of. Gibraltar, a gray compact mar
ble, which rises fro.n fourteen to sixteen
hundred feet above tho Mediterranean, has
long been famous for its curious caves.
Recently pretty thorough explorations have
been made of some of theso caves, under
'he direction of Captain Lrouic, of the
British army. One of them, known as
" Martin's Cave," opens on the eastern face
of the rock ; und was evidently an ancient
sea cave, though uow upwards of 700 feet
above the Mediterranean. A mouth was
devoted to the exploration ; and curiously
enough, there were no evidences of any
previous exploration of this cave. The
explorers first excavated from three to six
feet of earth along the south' side of the
cave. This revealed t.i them a stalagmite
floor, on which were found portions of the
lower jaw, supposed -to le human, and a
considerable quantify of boues of animals,
birds and fishes ; also broken pottery, rude
and ornamented ; handles and pots; stone
axes ; flint knives and flint chips; worked
bones ; sea shells, land shells, and water
wabhed pebbles. In a small chamber, ofl
the north side of the cave, were found
two ancient sworde, aud a small enamelled
copper plate, beautifully made and
brilliantly colored, with a design upon it,
representing a bird in the coil of a serpent.
Theso relics are referred to the eleventh or
twelfth century.
In another largo cave, St. Michael's
Cave, were faund numerous human remains,
stone axes, flint knives, &c, &c. On the
north side of this cave, by breaking up the
stalagmite floor, other cave were discov.
ered, which extended some 50 feet in a
northwesterly direction, the very existence
of which had before been unknown. The
explorations are still iu progress But
they already seem to demonstrate that at
somo remote period of tituo the caves of
Gibraltar were all inhabited by a race of
men having uniform habits of life.
