AZ The Tribune tells tale of Repub-

stand for the morning papers. It says that
he curls his tail contemptuously at the
Times, but is greatly clated when the 7ri6-
une is placed in his mouth. This only
pEeYGI that hs he il dogged dsvotss Of party
ter himself, and he naturally prefers Ia

the scent the clearer the case. "Am not Q

PROPORTIONS OF THE HUMAN FIGuRE. The
proportions Of the human figure are strictly
mathematical. The whole figure is six times
the length Of the foot. Whether the form
be slender or plump, this rule holds good.
Any deviation from it is departure from
the highest beauty Of proportion. The
Greeks make all their statues according to
this rule. The face from the highest point
Of the forehead where the hair begins, to
the end Of the chin, is onc-tenth of the
whole stature The hand, from the wrist to
the end Of the middle finger, is the samc.--
The chest is fourth, and from the nipple
to the top of the head is the same. From
the top Of the chest to the highest point Of
the forehead is seventh. II the length Of
the face, from the roots of the hair to tho
chin, be divided into three equal parts, the
first division determines where the eyebrows
meet, and the second place the nostrils.-
The naval is the centred part Of the human
body. and If man should lie on his back
with his arms extended, the periphery Of
the circle which might be described around
him, with the naval for its center, would
touch the extremities Of his hands and feet.
The height from the feet to the top Of the
head, is the same as tho distance from ono
extremity to the other, when the arms are
extended. These are the general measures
Of the species. 4

Under this head the editor of the North.
crn Californian defends his old bachelor
friends, as follows:
THAT they have attended sewing circles,
and have had articles made for them by
soft and nimble fingers; such articles pos
sessing the popularity of never fitting the
proprietor, and of coming INTO his possess
ION only at vast pecuniary sacrifice
That they have attended church fairs, and
at the instigation Of distractingly pretty
girls have made the following necessary ad-
ditions to bachelors wardrobe: One ba.

II. That bachelors are generally poor.
III. Which accounts for their being

require.
V. That bachelor is free agent. and
can buy where he gets the cheapest.
vi. And the above circumstance does
not necessarily make him "brute."

RULES ron GOING TO SLEEP.
l. Fix the thoughts on some one thing.
IL you can't do that, fix them on two
things Fis 'em! You can easily unfix
them after you once get to sleep.
2. Don't you 60 to sleep with your head
down against the foot board, or your feet
dangling on the floor. 1t disturbs the cleo.
trio current. a
2. A writer recommends to suspend
bass.drum over your bed, within your
reach, and pound on it with your fist. 1t
will induce sound sleep.
4. Rolling the eyc-balls is good, except
for blind people. II may be permanent in
juryeto their sight. Rolling out Of bed
may be substituted in such cases.
