This uothod is worse than the pooling nr- nngemonU of the railroads , and calls or vitjorous national legislation to irovent its continuance.

The now stimates for ' 82-a add $500,000 to the um asked for postmasters' salaries , unking $8,300,000 for this item alone , la this payment is regulated by law , ho postmaster general has no dis- retinn in the matter ; but the do- lortment is now paying , and is prob- bly the only employer in the conn- ry which In now paying , as largo alariej as in the dear days just after he war.

How Poitaco Stamps Are Mndc. iclciitllk Aini' The number of ordinary postagi itampa issued in 1881 wasir ) > 4li.8,44U ind value Sp24,040ii.

The colors used in tin nka arc ultra-nmrino blue , Prn siai jluo , chromo yellow and Prussian Ului green ) , vcrmilhon and carmine. After the sheets of paper on whicl .ho two hundred stamps are engravet invo been dried , they are sent to niv ither room and gummed. The guni isod is made of thu powder of dried lutaUma and other vegetables mixei ivith water. Gum arubiu is nut do sirublu , because it crack a the pape : badly. The sheets are gummed sop irately , they are placed back upwart upon a tl.vt wooden support , the edge : being protected by a metallic frame \n d the gum is applied with iwidi brush. After having been ugaii Iriod , this time on little racks , whicl ire fanneo by sU'.un power for ubou ui hour , they are put in betweei moots of pasteboard , and pressed bo ; weon hydnuilio presses , capable u ipplying a weight of two thousunc ; ons. ons.Tho sheets are next cut in halves > ach sheet , of course , whim , cut con : ainsn hundred stamps. This ia done jy a girl with a large pair of shears : utting by hand being preferred U : hat of machinery , which mothoc irould destroy too- many stamps , They are then pasaed to the purforat' ng mnchino. The perforations bo .weun the stamps are effected by pass , ng the sheets between two cylinder : irovided with a aeries of raised bands vhich are adjusted to a distance apart : quul to that required between thi ow3 of perforations. Each ring on he upper cylinder hnsaseriesof cylin- Irieal projections which tit correspond' ng depressions 'in the bands of the ewer cylinder ; by these the perforn- inns are punched out , and by a aim- ilo contrivance the sheet is detached rom the cylinder , in which it has been : onducted by nn em' less band. The ows running longitudinally of the i per are first made , and then by a imilar machine the traverse ones. [ 'his perforating machine was invented md patented by a Mr. Arthur in 852 , and was purchased by the gov- nent fur ? L'0,000. The shouts are icxt dressed once more , and then lacked and labelled and stowed awny n another room , preparatory to be- in ? put up in mail bags for dispatch- ng to fulfil orders. If a single stamp s torn or in any way mutilated the rholo sheet of one hundred thousand re burned every week from this auso. The sheets are counted no MS than eleven times during the pros - s of manufacturing , und so great is ho care taken in counting that not a ingle sheet has been lost during the ast twontyyears. Eating Before Sleeping. cw Yiul Jounul ol Commerce. Man is the only animal that can bo might to sleep ( iiiiotly on nn empty tonmch. The brute creation resent 11 efforts to coax them to such n vio- ttion of the laws of nature. The on roars in the forest until ho has jund his prey , and when ho has ovoured it ho sleeps over until he wds another meal. The horse- will aw all night in the stable , and the ig will squeal in the pen , refusing all . st or sleep until they are fed. The iiimals which chow the cud have leir own provision for iv late'meal J t before dropping oil' to their Subtly slumber * . Man can train himsuls to the habit f sleeping without a preceding meal , ut only after long years of practice , .she comes into the world nature is vo strong for him , and ho must bi > d beforp ho will sleep. A child's omach is small , and when perfectly iled , if no sickness disturbs it , sleep How-naturally and inevitably. As igestion goes on , the stomach begins i empty. A uinglu food in it will ako the little sleeper restless ; two ill waken it ; and if it is hushed ; ain to repose the nap in Blunt , and thrco folds put an end to tl slumber , Paregoric or other nnrcol may close his eyes agai but without cither fond seine stupefying drug it will n sloop , no matter how healthy it in ; be. Not even an nn el who Icnrnu the ait of mitiBtrolsy in n celestii choir can Hing n babe to aluep OIK iiinpty stomach , Wo see the oft-cjiioled illuslrntio ; "sluepiug ns Hweetly ns an infant because this slinnbpr of a child follow imniedintely after itn stomach is con jilotcly filled with wholesome fooi The sleup which comes to adults lor hours nftor pnrtnking of food , an when the stomach ia nearly or quit empty , ia not after the typo of it fnnntilo ropooo. Them is all the di feionco in the world between tl sloop of lufroshincnt nnd the sleep i exhaustion. To sleep well the blood thai swel the veins of tlio head during our bus hours must How back , leaving greatly diminished volume behind th brow that lately throbbed with AUC vehemence. To digest well this bloo is needed tit the stomach ami nean the fountain of life. It ii u fact c ! tablished beyond the possibility ( contradiction that sleep aids digostioi and that the proco of digestion i conducive to refreshing sleep. ] needs no argument to convince ua i Una mutual relation. The drowsines which always follows tlio well ordere meal is itself n testimony of nature t this inter-doppndence. THE TRIBUNE PRIMER. SlmploTnlosfor the Plonsuro am ProJlt or the Nursery Brigade.
