The Sleepiest NJ an in the world.

From the Helena (Montana) Herald
lie is Montanian, and a typo. We
have known him frequently to drop into a
sound snooze while standing at his case
distributing" and with half a take OF
matter in hand. AS compositor, he
usually takes a nap at the end of each sem
tence, as often in the broad day as any
other time, to be aroused thereirom only
by Il snceze from one Of the boys, or from
some other unusual sound. If not partic-
ularly hungry, or engaged in exciting con-
vcrsation with the fellow opposite, he in
variably sleeps between courses, while at
his meals. The other day, at noon, he
started down the stairs of the Office to 60
to his ''hash," and after reaching the
doorway leading to the street, he suddenly
yielded to Morpheus, leaned up against
the broad door jam. and enjoyed pro-
found nap: unit! seme sound or jar awaked
him, and, having dreamed that he had
actually been to dinner and tarried longer
than usual, drew forth his toothpick, and
hurried up stairs again, where hs nery-
ously rubbed his hands, hastily finished
picking his teeth, jerked his coat and went
to work. All these things VIC have seen
ourself: but his room-mates and intimate
'rother members Of the craft tell us that
IN divers occasions, after retiring to his
room to go to bed, he would get off his
hat. perhaps one boot. and while contem.
plating the exertion necessary to finish the
job of undressing, would actually set to
doing, and be found next morning still
sitting in his chair, with his legs crossed,
arms folded, his head inclined to one side,
and snurin" like n pOrpoise.

Water.
The xtent to which water minsles with
bodies apparently the most solid, is very
wonderful. The glittering opal, so beauti,
rul as an ornament, is nothing but flint
and water. The air holds five grains of
water in every cubic foot of its bulk. Po-
tatoes contain seventy per cent, and tur
nips min. ty p r cent of water. IF man
of a hundred and forty pounds were
squeezed in a hydraulic press, seventy
pounds of water would exude from his
body. and only thirty five of dry residuum
remain. Man is, in fact, only thirty fac
pounds of carbon, nitrogen, diluted in five
nd half pals of water.
In plants, water mingles no less wonder.

Tue CAMEL's IUMP.-Modern research
has determined curious circumstances in
an organic contrivance in the camel and
leech, unlike rs they are in structure
function ard habits. which has reference
to supplying them with food from store
house in their own bodies, till supplies
are attainable from other sources.
The hump is an immense collection oil
fat, s.ored in reticulated cells, piled up
one upon another, which is concentrated
food. When fodder cannot be had, as
frequently occurs on their long caravan
travels in the desert, a peculiar set O
absorbent vessels draw upon the magazine
the hump-carrying the fat into the
circulation until food from without puts q
stop to the draft on their back. The
hump is very sensibly diminished at times
even being almost completely leveled
but that which was thls borrowed to sus.
tain lit" temporarily, is Immediately
replaced when the stomach is set in motion
again in its accustomed manner.
The medicinal leech, or blood-suckcr
low as it is in the organic scale Of life, j,
as carefully provided for in regard to the
contingencies of life as the king of the
country. AS the Hood passes down the
gullet of the leech, the current divides
right and left to enter two lateral tubes
instead of entering directly into the stom
ach. These canals are folded zigzag
backward and forward, in loops, as it were
from the head to the tail. When perfectly
filled, the leech lets go its hold. 1t is then
plump and full, with stock Of food or
hand that may ordinarily last for one 0,
two years, in case it has no opportunity tc
take another in that long time.

Our Printins.Onice Experience.

When We entered the Democrat ant
Herald printing Office, on the first day o
September last we found the editor in {
pleasant humor. We supposed he hal
had good brcakfast.) After our intro
duction, he told us that we could walk
about town until noon and take look al
things. after which he would see what he
could do in the way of making printer
out OF US. After our stroll, we came back
and pulled off our jacket, determined to
"do or die We were setting tvpe before
we knew it. At first we imagined we
could never learn the one hundred and
tilty-two boxes which make up a pair of
type eases but the "boss'' placed large
type, face upwards, in the principal boxes,
and we soon got the chang" of them.
The first day, and the second, too, we got
as tired as the mischief in both legs, but
we resolved to stick to it, and we have.
Our boss tells us great many things.
and, for the sake OF oar -apprcnti-
ccs, we here recount some of them: He
says that one reason why country printers
find it difficult to obtain situations in the
city Offices is, because they don't learn the
trade properly. He warns us to do our
spacing evenly, and to justify each line
sufficiently tight to stand of itself in the
stick to divide our words correctly either
on ''sound" or on the "vowels," but that
we must not run over the led" in such
words as ''stocked,' ''cried,'' and
"moored !" that we must not put two thin
spaces where thick one or an en- quadrat
would answer; that a "j' and an 90 !"
should have little more space before and
after them than her letters, because the
lower part of the one and the upper part
OF the other pro- jet over; that fve.cm
space must be placed after the inverted
commas which begin quotation, and
before the apostrophes at the conclusion
Ut it, unless the last word of the quotas
ton is followed by comma or period
that Il thin space must be placed before
colon, semi-colon, interrogation, and ex-
clamation mark, and after them when
they are followed by apostrophes; that in
distributing we must put the type in the
proper boxes, and keep it off the floor
the distributing of the italic, display, and
job type; that we must pick up all the
type we drop on the floor at the time we
let it fall, and that if we make any "pi''
we must distribute it ut once and not stow
it away that spaces in a blankcd line
must be next to the type and not at the
end of the line; that we must not make
our quadrat box a 'pi' receptacle that
printinS-ofhce secrets must never be dis
closed that all the hooks and corners of
the Office must be swept out clean every
morning; that we must avoid all that is
evil and cling to the good that we must
be tidy and neat in our dress, polite,
agreeable, truthful, and hoaest.--Printers'
Papa.

congress, securing his election through
Federal bayonets sent to his aid by that
remarkable military hero known as Gcn>

up to that time the most violent of pro-

barbarians, and for disfranchising the
young men whom he advised to join the
rebel army.
Such is the character Of the man who

DISCOVERIES IN THE Rock OF GIBRALTER
The remarkable rock of Gibralter, Il
grey, compact marble, which rises from
| 400 to | 900 feet above the Mediterran-
can, has long been famous for its curious
caves. Recently, pretty thorough explor-
ations have been made of some of those
caves, undor the direction of CAPTAIN
Bronze, of the British army. One of them
known as MARTINS Cave" opens on the
eastern face OF the rock, and was evidently
an ancient sea cave, though now upwards
of 700 feet above the Mediterranean; A
month 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 oil
the cave. This revealed to them stalag>
mite floor, en- which were found portions
of the lower jaw, supposed to be human,
and considerable quantity of bones oil
arimals, birds and fishes also, broken
pottery, rude and ernamerted; handles
and pots stone axes flint knives and
| flint chips; worked bone sea-shells, land
shells and water-washed pebbles. In a
| small chamber, off the north side OF the
cave, vere found two ancient swords, and
a small enameled copper plate, beautiful
ly made and brilliantly colorcd, with a
design upon it representing bird in Il c
coil of serpent. These relics are referred
to the eleventh or twelfth century. In
another large cave, "St. Michaels Cave y
were found numerous human remains
stone axes, flint knives, etc., etc. On the
north side of this cave, by breaking uI
the stalagmite floor, other caves were dis
covered, which extended some $50 feet in
a northwesterly direction, the very exist
ence of which had before been unknown
The explorations are still in progress

All the air, with imbreat he'd peace,
Seemed to gather force, and sway .e
Through the temple, either way.

vELOCIPEDEOLOGlCAL.

The following story of domestic veloci-
pedestrianism will bring tears to the eye.
Of those who weep-if they cry much:
Lord Lowell he stoed by the garden gate,
With his shining velocipede,
And whispered farewell to his Lady Bell,
Who wished for his lordshp God-speed.
"When will you be back, Lord Lovell!" che said;
But he gave to her questions no heed
Placed his feet in the stirruPs and galloped away,
On his bran new velocipsde.
0fben Lady Bell cried in frantic alarm,
i"whsta monster my lord is, indeed;
TO ride thus away from his loving young wife,
On that horrid velocipede."
Lord Lowell returned broken. hearted and sorc
4, Broken-armed, and alas brok en-. kneed;
For ne struck on post nearly gave up the ghost,
Ana smashed his velocipede.
MORAL.
Remember the fate Lord Lowell has met.

Stay at home with your wife for the rest Of your e.
And beware Of the velocpetle, z

On certain occasion, noted in6del
borrowed sum of money from the late
DR.. Lathrop, of West Springfield. Mass.
When he came to pay it, he thought to
pose the doctor by arguments from the
bible.
"You ought not to take interest for this
money, for the Jews were forbidden to
take usury."
sob no." said the doctor, "you forget.
The Jews were forbidden to take usury
from their own people, but they were al
lowed to take usury from the heathen."
This application was too direct to be
mistaken, and the man was quite willing
to drop the argument and pay the money.
