"Are you not annoyed by those who
n-ant documents?"
"No, for the great poriion who call
know what they want. The great diffi
culty with this class is, however, they
generally want too much. There are
many professionals who call, but they
usually have private claims pending, are
2 niet and easily satisfied. There is a
lahomedan here with a private claim
who is a crank. He calls every few days
to see if there is not some new docu
ment issued in his case Then we have
a number of lady callers. They are usual
ly undemonstrative and not so exacting
, as the gentlemen. A few of them,
though, who are playing the role of lob
: byist, are nuisances. They would bore
the man in the moon by their questions
and imnortunities. A few days ago, one
of these lady lobbyists camo into the
document room and requested that we
give her a cony of her bill. We in
quired for the name in the bill and were
iriven a name commencing with W. I
examined over six thousand pasres of
Index matter, and informed her
that no such bill had ever been before
Congress. Then she asked me to try an--other
name beginning with It, and again
I carefully examined the index matter,
but without finding any such name. I
then asked the nature of her claim, and
upon being informed, 1 cited a claim. It
commenced with A. "Oh!" exclaimed
she, "that is the one I meant ail the
time ; that is " my claim !" 1 had spent
just two hours of hard searching of old,
musty papers, and to my utter disgust
was informed that a claim which I could
have found in ten seconds, was what was j
desired I It came near trying my patience ;
but we must be patient, you know."
;' "From what source do you receive the
greatest number of calls?"
"Clerks and messengers from commit
tees, then agents and attorneys. The
latter give us much trouble, and are
ubout the most ungrateful of all who
call. They seem to think the Senate is
under special obligations to support a
document-room with its complement of
vfiles and men to keep thorn supplied with
k!l they want several copies, of ' every -
thing issued."
"Go Senators make many calls?"
"Yes, and they are peculiar to one
branch of the work. They usually want
a precedent for some proposition, or the
complete history of some act. This re
quires special work. Superintendent
Smith is a specialist in this branch of the
work. His methods are as peculiar to
his success as are those of l'inkerton or
Davenport in working np a complicated
case of crime. In his absence this branch
of the work falls to me, and I assure you
it tells upon the brain and nerve, it be
ing the most laborious of all the duties.
The Senators are the most industrious of
all public men."
"The newspaper men come often?"
"They come and go at will. We have
special arrangements for them, and I
must say it is a pleasure to wait upon
them. They are the most practicable of
all in the use of documents. Thev take
a document for what it is worth, and not
because it is given to them, merely. No,
we have no holidays. Our work is on
the order of perpetual motion. It never
stops. j
"There is almost a train load of all !
sorts of public documents in the docu
ment rooms of the Senate and House,
and they number away up over the hun
dreds of thousand. It requires a good
many active miiuls to keep them in order
to bo plucked out ut a moment's notice."
Tho value of the cocoa nut as food is

Descending into tho bowels of the

Fahrenheit for every forty-five feet. At
this rate water is at a boiling pitch at a

sixty miles the hardest rocks known to
geologists are in a fluid or melted state.
An 1'nglish electrical journal has dis
covered tho following popular fallacies
concerning lightning, viz.: That chew

lightning will cure tho toothache, that
such splinters will not burn; that the
bodies of thoso killed by lightning shock
do not corrupt, and that no ono is killed
by lightning while asleep.
The largest room in the world, under
one roof and unbroken by pillars, is at
St. Petersburg. It is 020 feet long by 150

military displays, and a battalion can

thousand wax tapers are required to

The question as to the habitabiliiy of
tho planets has lately been discussed with
milch cbihty by Professor Met1 arland,
His conclusions are, that the four large
outer planets have not sufficiently cooled
down to allow life on their surface such
as is Been on the earth; that JIars gives
all telescopic and spectroscopic proba
bilities of conditions compatible with
life as we see it; that the earth certainly
for millions of years has been covered
with multifarious life; that in respect to
enus and Mercury, no certain evidence
or knowledge presents itself, and that
tho satellites are manifestly uot fitted for
such life as the earth exhibits, the moon,
in particular, having no water and no
atmosphere.
The husks upon which the Prodigal
Son fed, are not, as the reader is apt to
imagine, the husks of maize, that is, of
Indian corn. They are the fruit of tho
Kharub tree, and from their shape called
in the Greek little horns. From the
popular notion that they wero tho food
of John tho Baptist they are called St.
John's bread. Dr. Thompson describes
them as "fleshy pods somewhat like those
of tho honey locust tree from six to ten
inches long and one broad, lined inside
with a gelatinous substance, not wholly
unpleasant to the taste when thoroughly
ripe. I have seen large orchards of the
Kharub in Cypress, where it is still tho
food which the swine do eat."
Healthy Sleep.
I think we may safely say that every
one requires six hours' sleep in the twenty-four,
and very many men and women,
not to mention fools, require even more.
Certainly, too much sleep is harmful;
but too httle is vastly mole so. I would
let each man regulate his hours of sleep
by what he feels are his real require
ments; always urging kim to avoid the
suspicion of laziness, to take into con
sideration the bed he lies upou. and to
watch the effect on his health of any sys
tem of sleep he adopts. If you get up
when you hrst wake, providing you have
had six hours of sound, refreshing sleep,
you can scarcely get wrong. But make
sure of your six hours' minimum, and be
wonderfully suspicious of the necessity
for further sleep, as it is apt to become,
not necessity, but indulgence. Welling
ton could sleep at any moment; Baron
Bunson could sleep for half an hour at
any time in the midst of his studies.
awakin" refreshed, and resuming his
work with increased vigor. A blessed
, gift this; such a faculty, combined with
that of early rising, is as good as a fortune
to a capable man, or, indeed, to almost
any man. Sleep is heaviest in the first
few hours, gradually becoming lighte
and probably disturbed Dy dreams, as
time wears ou, until a slight noise dis
turbs us, or our rested system resumes
full work of its own accord. Everybody
knows that in dreaming part of the brain
is awake and at work, while tli? other
part is asleep as much as the brain can
sleep; at all events, exercising lessened
function. It i.i therefore obvious that
dreamless sleep is most useful, as dreams
are evidence of work by some part of the
brain, detracting from perfect rest.
Avery important lactor in securing
: healthy sleep is tho kind of bed we lie
upon, i eatliur beds 1 cannot commend ;
indeed, luxuries and this is an un
doubted one are not to be sought by
him whose aim is perfect health and
strength. A spring mattress is very ex
cellent, and the Larder your couch, to
be comfortable, the more likely are you
to secure healthy, rcheshing sleep, not
unduly prolonged. It is a difficult mat
ter to rise early from a feather bed, diffi
cult to awake in a reasonable time, and
more so to leave its warmth and cosiness
in winter. But the luxury must be sac
riticed to the more healthful iutiueuce of
the mattregs. The clothing should be
light and warm; and I cannot but recom
mend the sheet of paper placed between
two blankets as being very warm, for

Earthquake and Plague.
" Earthquakes are by no means rare
ties," said a scientist to a Cincinnati AV
quirer reporter. Professor Fuchs, tho
eminent scientist, kept account of them
during our centounial year, and counted
104. In January he found ton, February
ten, March fourteen. April eight. May
seven, June seven, July tnght, August
five, September seven. October fourteen,
November five and December nine. In
1873 ho counted ninety-seven; so it
would seem that every few days there
was a disturbance of some kind. Per
haps you know that tho Italians lay the
plague or cholera they are having to the
oarthquake at Ischia, and among super
stitious people in general you will find
that an earthquake is always tho fore
runner of some tcrriblo event. There
would certainly seem otnethiug in it by
referring to Chajid's list, in which the
plague is found to follow many great
