Mr. Carter maintains that the beauty and efficiency of the eyes depend not a iittle upon their healthiul and active employment. It revented. iess he resolutely shuts his eyes or has them bandaged, he cannot avoid using them. But use of this kind is not the there must be mental attention as well remain in a state of comparative idle. ness.

It will be perceived that this heory is not the one common'y ac- cepted, and yet Mr. Osrter is a specialist whose opinion cannot be lightly con- travencd. He objects, of course, to an improper use of the eyes under trying lights or to their over-exercise, but he would seem to hold that trouble was likely to arise fully as often by under-ex- ercise a8 hy over exertion. To give his own words: “That which is true of its parts, and the eyes, among others, are best treated by an mmount of sys- tematic use, which preserves the tone of their muscles and the regularity of their blood supply.” Another point that Mr. Carter insists ypon # the ne- cessity of using properiy-adjusted glasses when the sight begins to fail.

The beauty of the garment de- per ds almost entirely upon its perfeot fit, and great care should be taken, both in cutting it out and sewing, to have the threads run straight and to avoid stretohing the seams, When a tailor garment he lays the cloth smoothly upon a long table, for which a piano top is a very good substitute, and marks it out with chalk. Then it is cut and basted with the greatest ex- | aotness and stitched as carefully, and this is the secret of the perfect set which characterizes first-class tailor work. Many dressmakers positively refuse to fit garments for others to sew. “You make the dress yourself,” said such a one, “and vou sew it crooked; then you blame me.” Much aise depends on the manner in which a dress is put on.

It is ordinarily dated from the memdra- ble evening when Benjamin Franklin, accompanied by his eldest son, suc- ceeded in the bold experiment of draw- ing lightning from the clouds down the conductor afforded hy the wet string of his silken kite. It is remarkable that Mr. Anderscn does not refer to that which cobverted the first failure into the subsequent success, namely, the wet- ting of the kite-string by the thunder shower. But we cannot help confessing a sort of satisfaction, on behalf of the world, in being taught to antedate this triumph of experiment sagadity, though only by a few days. in favor of an ex- riment made at the suggestion ot uffon by M. Dalibard. "At Marly-la- ville, about eighteen miles from Paris, on the rord 10 Pontoise, M. Dalibard possessed a country house, standing on a high plain, some 400 feet above the sea-level. Here a wooden scaffolding was erected, supporting an iron rod eighty feet long and a little-more than an inch thick. At about five feet from the ground this rod was connected with an electrical apparatus. Shortly after the whole was fixed, on May 10, 1752 Hi -five days before the observation at hi adelphia), a thunder-storm came on. M. D-ibard was absent in Paris, but Le had leit the apparatus in charga of a faithful sentinel, one of his servants, an old soldier, Coifiler by name, with full instructions. Coiffler presented to the conductor an iron key with the handle bound in ‘silk, and was thus the first human ‘observer who drew down, by tentative means, the electric sparks from the clouds. Un May 13, 1752, M. Dalibard started the Academie des Sei- ences by reading a full report of this first great experiment made as to aerial electricity.— London Atheneum. "A Volcanic Island. Just 216 years ago the Dutchman, Van Viaming. cruising about the Indian ocean, came upon a small ‘voleanic island, four miles in length from north to south, and about two miles broad from east to west. From the spongy and porous higher parts of the island gcorino rivers flowed eastward tn the sea, forming a large natural hesin or harbor, some thousand feet in width, with an opening from the uuean two hundred feet wide. Steep hills encom- passed the harbor, running down be- neath'the surface of the safe water to a central depth of one hundred and seventy-four feet, and only through the comparatively narrow gate could ships enter, for all about the gloomy island thelconst was inaccessible with bowlders of treacherous pumice and dangerous streams of lava. Close to the entrance of this natural okt stood sentinel a rocky pyramid filled the veins of obsi- dian, or volcanic glass, taller than the London. monument.

An Antaretic Exploring Expedition, The Italians are the last people who have become enthusiastic on the subject | of polar expeditions, their interest hav. | ing been awnkened in all probability by the visit at one or two of their ports of | the explorer, Nordenskiold, while on | his return trip in circumnavigaling the | continents of Euorope and Asia. The | Italians assert, with no little force, that it is hopeless for them to think of com | peting with the northefn nations in Arc- tic explorations, a8 they are wanting in the experience whieh their rivals have acquired by a large number of unsuccess- ful voyages, but that there is a fresh and and untried field open to them in the vast and unexplored tracts of land and | water around the South pole. It is | therefore an Antarctic voyage upon | which the expedition which 18 to sail | from Genoa in May, 1881, will enter. It! is a little singular that no more atten tion has been paid to explorations in | thist quarter of the globe. We know | relatively nothing more about it now | than we did when Captain Cook made | his discoveries of a mountainous coun- | Africa in 1775. D'Urville, Wilkes and | Ross nave confirmed. the statements of | their predece , and have given, with | some approach to exactness. the shore | line of the Antarctic continent, as it is | called, but there che information ends, | and whether the land is merely a large | island, or whether it extends its un- | broken barrier over the southern polar regions, is a matter which the Italians have now an opportunity to demon- strate. It should also be remembered. that there has never been an Antarctic expedition since the utilization of steam wer as a motor for large vessels, and ence the Italians will be in many ways better prepared to extend their re. searches than were those in whose tracks they follow. No doubt, one of the reasoms why such slight interest has been taken in Antartie Yoyages is-the extreme difli- culty that has hitherto been experi enced in gaining high southern lati- tudes. The vessels from American that go each summer to Archangel, on the White sea, for Russian hemp and flax, go nearly as far toward the North pole as Sir Jaraes Ross or Lieutenant Wilkes ever went toward the south in their sey- eral voyages. It is well know that the ice area around the South pole is much greater in extent than that whi h sur- rounds the North pole, a fact that is ac- counted for by various hypotheses, the most probable of which is that the soutiaern her isphere is so largely made up of water areas that its average tem- perature is cousiderably cooler than the northern half of the globe, where im- wense tracts of land radiate and perpet- uate the heat received from fhe sun. While it is highly improbable that the Italian expedivion will succeed in reach- ing the South pole, it is fair to presume that it will be able to solve a number of unsettled geographical problems, and it may also be of service tH the commer- cial world by demonstrating the exist- ence of vast guano deposits and profit- able see] fisheries which may he easily Fehshed by well equipped merchant ves- sels. ——I I ——— A Defiance (Ohio) farmer's mare gave birth to a colt with five horns. cade or any fancy material; the skirt Itis well to! trim the skirt with bias bands or flut- | ings, panels or soarf-draperies of the | same fabric as the bodice, i There has never been a time when it good advantage.

Such are | the Scotch zephyr cloths, figured | mummy cloths, the erape- finished Yeddo | goods and the oil calicoes, which last | are made up in combination with fine woo lens. The imported gingham suits are the prettiest of all wash dresses. A gay fancy is that of trimming light blue and white checked gingham with bards and | pointed tongues of dark claret-colored gingham. Suel a dress is further deco- | rated by a cluster of hand-painted flow. ers in the point of the peckerchief, which | is tid sailor fashion. Something unique | in the color and in the combinations is aimed at in these pretty cottons. Thus one of heliotrope purple has pale cream. | colored facings, while another of claret red has plaitings of chintz figures on a vorite patterns of foulard. Madras ginghams are solid in quanti- | ties. The trimmings are coarse torchon | a favorite method of making them is | bodice. In dark colored percales also a draped bodice gathered round the waist and Coat basques are very fashionable, so | These, however, are The Russian blouse waist is very | fashionable in Europe and has made ita here.

Their full- pleat down the middle of the back and broad box-plait this gives the appear. apce of three plaits in front. A wide belt of the cloth is then added. The machine in many rows on a deep hem, and the broad box- plaits, have a row of stitching down each edge. The Russian | blouse forms a nice variety from the ecasaquin or coat bodice for morning wear and is especially pretty for flanne] | dresses, and is also used for ginghams. White dresses are flounccd to the | waist with alternate flowers of Ham- burg embroidery and plain material, Eern muslins are much liked, Ex- tremely pretty and cheap dresses are made of the thin, unbleached cloth | known as cheese-cloth, trimumed with and draped over Turkey-red calico of solid peeales.

Besides fzncy fabrics, plain or printed, surah, muslin de laine and crepe are much employed for elegant costumes, simple and tasteful. As a rule, dresses are very much trim- med. Each dressmaker seems to think she can never put on a sufficient num- ber of narrow flounces, plaited, ruched, quilled, and so intermingled as to be- come very difficult to describe. One puts them on length ways, another across the front, a third slanting fashion. All mix ‘hem up with fringe of silk and beads. Indeed, heads are used in pro- | fusion as trimmings and very few hand. | sone black dresses are seen withsut jet. A very pretty ornament easily made is formed of loons of beads arranged as a tassel. Embroi dery is also popular. A set of this consists of collar, cuffs, pock- ets and two sidebands for the skirt. Evening dresses with square bodies have an embroidered band around the square opening. A favorite French fancy is for illumination, ¢. e., trimming wit: gay colors. Thus an elega:t blac walking suit has the surtout of black brocade lined with red silk, the lining showing as the wearer moves, while a narrow red satin plaiting is set under the plaiting at the foot of the black satin dress skirt. Self trimmings of all kinds are worn, box-plaitings and sheli trimmings being especially fiked. Shirrirg has a new lease of favor and is employed on col- lars, plastrons, sleeves and fronts of dresses. Vests are less worn than here tofore, still they can soarcely be sald to be out of fashion. A great many round, untrimmed skirts are worn in corduroy, velvet, velveteen and in striped velvets with these, but they are chiefly seen with the surtout.

At present it shows no signs of decay, and has apparently a long life before it; but there is still a more Sxtraordinaty su- perstition attached to it. Saplings sprout our periodically from the root, and with the death of ea h prince one withers away, while a fresh one appears in honor of the new emperor. ach sapling bears the same relation to the individual prince that the tree does to the dynasty; and not unnaturally the emperor for the time being watches with considerable anxiety the growth of his particular sapling. The tree is pamed * The Emperor's Tree,” and it may be worthy of noting that the sap- ling of the present emperor is said to be extremely vigorous and flourishing. Painiens Death, Iu one of his lectures Professor Tyn. dail spoke of the great probability that entire absence © n AeousBented death by lightning. It is popular wup- posed that an impression made by the nerves, a blow or Junta, is’ felt at the precise instant it is inflicted, but such is not the fact, ‘Lhe seat of sensation is the brain, and intelligence of the injury must be transmitted to this on through a certain set of nerves, acting ns telegraph wires, before we me conscious of pain. This transmission of telegraphing from the seat of injury t» the brain takes time, longer or shorter, according to the distance of the injured part from the brain, and scoording to the susceptibility of the articular nervous system operated on. Helmholts, by poy ments, determined the velocity of this nervous transmis. sion in the oq to bea little over eighty- five feet per sepond, in the whale about 100 feet per sroond, and in man at an average of 900 feet per second, If, for instance, n whale fifty feet long were wounded in the tail, it would not be conscious of the injury until half a seo- ond after the wound been inflicted. But this is not the only ingredient in the delay. It is believed that in every act 0} consciousness n determined molecular arrangement of the brain takes place, so that, besides the interval of wransmis- sion, a still further time is necessury for the brain to put well in order for its molecules to take up the motions or positions necessary for the completion of consciousness. Helhoholtz eousiders that one-tenth of a second is required for this purpose. Therefore, in the conse of a whale, one second and one-tenth would elapse before an impression made upon its caudal nerves could be re. sponded to by a whale fifty feel long, The Geese of the Platte, We crossed the Platte river—that strange, wonderful river, wide as the Missinsippi und so shallow that a man eannot lie down and drink out of it with- out sticking hisnose into the sand, And all along the Platte—y cese, Wild geese, Brant and geese. A flock of them every fifteen feet, and three mil- lion in a dock. Black and white, they lined the low banks of the river and covered the low-lying islands and tow heads. They circled around in the air until the sun went out, There didn't seem to be room enough in the country for half of them, and yet this is such a big State that they didn't take up any room at all. There may appear to be something a little paradoxical in this statement. If there is, you will have to straighten it yourself. I have no time to fool with such things. But I never saw £0 many wild geese in my life as we stared at to-day on the Platte river. 1 don't see how a Nebraska homesteader finds any time to farm, when there is so much for him to shoot at, I am afraid if 1 took up a claim anywhere along the Platte, my son would have to run the farm while passed my useful the in the Platte quicksands. — Hawkeye Humorist A Murdered Man's Monument, Queer taste is exhibited by the family of Telford, who was murdered b George W.
