AFTER Dinner DozlNG.-pr. Combe, who
is good authority, says that sleeping after
dinner is bad practice. On awakening
from such indulgence there is generally
some degree of febrle excitement, IN conse-
ouence of the latter stages OF digestion being
hurried on; it is only useful to old people,
and in some cases ofdisease. Sleep becomes
wholesome only to the healthy when taken
at those hours pointed ont by nature an ex-
cess Of it produces lassitnde and corpuleney,
aud utter " debases and stupeiies the mind
Corpulent people should sleep little and upon
hard beds, while they should take abundance
of exercise and live abstemiousiy, that their
unhealthy bulk may be reduced.

what Coal Does for Country,

TIE DAYS BEFORE CoAL.-The Scientific
american says: -Tkere can be no doubt that
the coal beds of England are the real natural
source ofphvsical wealth. Without coal. it
never would have been manufacturing couu.
try, without it no cotton factory would ever
have been erected, and no steamships would
ever have iloated on its waters. 1t is simply
because 1t has the largest coal fields in
Europe, that is the greatest manufacturing
nation in the world But it was very diff
cult to introduce the use of coal among the
old English people. 1t was first used in that
country about six centuries ago, and at that
time Englisl'mcn would not use the sooty
fuel in their houses. 1t did not suit the fiji
places or the domestic habits Of the people
bat it was found well adapted fol- the black
smith and the lime burner. Only the layers
near the surface and in coal fields adjacent to
rivers, or seas, were first opened but when
the demand increased the miners dived more
deeply into the bowels Of the earth, and boldly
worked the coal wherever it was to be found
When the mines became deep the miners
were sadly perfleXed how to get rid of the
water: and it was not till the steam
engine came to their aid they fully mastered
the difficulty. But the prtiudices of the
users were as difficult to su1mount as the
perils Of the miners. A citizen of London
was once tried and executed for burning sea
coal i'll opposition to a stringent law passed
in respect to that subject; but even long after
such into!e ance as this had passed away,
coal was iodooed in good society. Lade had
a theory that the black abomina'ion spoiled
their complexion and it was for long time
q point Of etiquette not 10 sit in u room
warmed by coal fire, or to cat meat roasted
by such means. Prejudice, unquestionaLly,
had much to do with these objections but
it was not all prejudice, for the almost total
absence OF proper arrangements for IL supply
OF fresh air, and removing smoke and foul
air, rendered the burning coal very dirty
and disagi ccable companion in room. -
Wood was then the principal fuel used in
England. and the forests but scantiy sap
piled the wants of the people Turf, or peat,
was also employed in some districts MS it still
is in Ireland and in the Highlands Of Scot
land: but in all England wood is at present
unknown as domestic Iuel--coal has cnIilely
superseded it.
