Hen who are the fastest fceleep when they are asleep, are the widest awake when they are awake. Great workers must be great resters. Every man who has clerks in his employ ought to know what their sleeping habits are. The yoting man who is up till a, 8 and 4 o'clock in the morning, and must put in his appearance at the bank or store at 9 or 10 o'clock and work all the day, cannot repeat this process many days without a certain ehakinesa coming into his system, which he will endeavor to steady by some delusive stimulus. It is in this way that many a young man begins his course to ruin. He need not necessarily have Jjeen in bad company. He has lost his sleepy andilos. ing sleep is losing strength and graoe.

A legend exists of the Isle of Man to the effect that a fairy who exerted a baleful in fluence over the island was pursued by a knight, and only escaped in a moment of ex treme danger by assuming iha appearance of a wren. Id consequence of this, on the spedfio anniversary the islanders devoted their ener- ' gies to the extirpation of the fairy, and the' wrens were pursued, pelted and fired at with out jnercy.' Their feathers were preserved with great care, there being a superstitions belief that they possessed the peculiar charm of preserving against drowning or from death by shipwreck. Any-fisherman going to sea without such a safeguard was looked upon as exceedingly foolhardy. Every year, after Christmas Day,' boys go about the Isle of Man carrying a wren in a cage, suspended upon a pole, and they pluck out her feathers and' pre sent one to every liberally minded person who, pays them for their song. A Gam Game. The finest grades of crude rubber come from Para, the trees being tapped and the sap gath ered by means of paddles which are dipped in the tub of sap and held over a smoky, fire that the coating may harden. , This process is re peated until a cake of gum if the size and shape of a squash is formed when the paddle is cut out and the lump is ready for market. The scraps and droppings from this process are carefully collected and sold as an inferior grade. American rubber manufacturers make as much complaint of the rubber gatherers as English manufacturers of American cotton packers, jind even with more reason ; for rub ber being such an expensive raw material' affords a greater profit to the wily native, who increases ; his gains by stuffing the rubber with stones, wood and dirt. These adulterations are of course charged back from manufacturer to dealer and from dealer to im porter, but the original offender is seldom reached. . u "i- Blind as a. Bat." "Blind as a bat" is an old saying so much the reverse of fact that it is not easy to ex plain how it ever obtained currency among people who had seen the animal. Neverthe less, bats are not dependent upon their eye light for a means of getting about in the dark. They are able to fly with great speed &nd ac curacy, to avoid obstacles, and to enter small holes without making the least mistake. Ex periences have shown that this singular power of direction is due to a remarkable develop- spnent of the sense of touch especially to lie found in their great expanse of wing. Fur ther, these animals, possess large ears and curious nostrils, some of which are leaf -like formations of the most extraordinary descrip tion. Tin skin growths are aS supposed to have reference to the skill with 'which the creatures wing their way in the darkest caves. Most bats feed on insects which they catch en the wing ; some of them eat fruit, and a few enjoy a bad name because they suck the blood of other animals. : Of the1 last are the so-called vampire bats, respecting- which.it used to be said that they fanned their victim, with their wings while they sucked its lifeblood, but that part of the tale i altogether fabulous.

Prof. Ben is violently opposed to theexUting j arrangement concerning, the deaf and dumb in this country, which makes them a separate class, and especially objects to the continual marriage of deaf mutes, which, he claims, will evolve a face Of ceaf mutes in this country. In one family, he said, he had found ninety deaf mutes in four generations, connected by blood or marriage. Of deaf mutes forty per, eent. marry, and with each succeeding ganaratkm the tendency to the in firmity increases. Of the forty-five per cent, of deaf mutes who marry, eighty per cent, marry deaf mutes. To remedy the evil he said We must separate tbe i&ti mute as much as possible from the other deaf mutes during the time either he or she is being educated. They should art be sent to asylums; they should be taught Engfciah instead of the'tign language. They should assodate, during play hours, with children not similarly affected, and they should be taught here, as they are in Germany, te enumerate artificially..
