The origin of Cotton.

IT.. xroot staple, on which SO much OF
commercial stability and physical comfort
Sannnds has remote origin, and we are
Jopen5ent for it, as for many other articles,
tbo East. Professor Diapers new
hpol furnishes this Information:
.. IT. the Saracens we are indebted for the
,o,.on manufacture. Through their influ
enoe that art was extended from Japan to
tho Gnlf of Guinea, from the Pyrenees to the
so,,inoctial line. They spread the use of
tfat material which at this day constitutes
chief source of the wealth Of manufacturing
Europe and of agriculturing America
mathematics, astronmy. chemistry, etc.
they have left an indelible impression, of
which such words as algebra, alcohol, and
many others that might be mentioned, are
the enduring "reminiscences, so in this branch
of industry they are like witnesses: not a
few of its terms that have been incorporated
in our speech are Of Oriental origin. The
word cotton itself is Arabic; muslin is so
called from Mosul, a city on the banks of the
Tigris, where was once the chief seat of its
manufacture; calico, from Caiicut. in India.
The undergarments worn by ladies passes
under name which shows from whom they
derive 1t, fer chemise is an Arabic word
The cotton manufacture was commenced
In Spain by Abderaham ILL.,. A. D. $50, a
period during which attention seems to have
been particularly directed by the Moors to
the improvement of agriculture and manu-
tactures, while the rest of Europe was fall
ing deeper and deeper into barbarisn and
night. The Khalif introduced into the
peninsula the sugar-cane, rice and the null
berry tree, with many impr )vements in such
arts as tanning and the manufacture of silk
Cotton was carried into Sicily by Saracens
on their occupancy of that island, and, in
deed, from Spain the use Of it spread more
or less all over the north and east of Europe.
One Of the Mohammedan applications of
this vegetable product was destined to be of
the utmost value; it was the invention of
cotton paper. The real merit of the inven
ton of the art of printing lies, not, as is
commonly supposed, in the contrivance of
the press and types, but in the making of
paper. The process of multiplying impress
sions by seals and stamps, which is essen
TALLY printing process, had been known
from the remotest antiquity but such oper
atinns could never be made available for the
extensive dissemination of knowledge until
something more abundant and cheaper than
papyrus and parchment was discovered
This want was supplied by the Arabian
cotton paper"

Our Eyes.

Indigestion is the principal source of weak
eyes. Reading in the cars often seriously
disturbs the vision. 4 delicate and wonder
full apparatus within the eye is constantly
busy in adapting it to the varying focal dis
tances. The jerking motion Of the cars COM
pels an exhaustive effort to maintain the re-
qulred adaptation. Thousands of eyes are
spoiled by reading in cars and other vehicles.
Recently l was consulted by a railway ex-
preSsman, who had become totally blind By
reading newspapers in the cars. Thousands
who have never consciously suffered any in
convenience from the habit are obliged to
wear glasses prematurely to correct an an
steadiness of vision produced in this way
Reading with the gaslight before is another
cause of weak eyes. The light should ALWAYS
hang quite high and behind you. and allowed
to shine over the shoulder If convenient it
should be over the left shoulder. If using
kerosene it is best to employ the lamps which
hang on the wall. Neither should YOU cad
with your face towards the window. Read
ing by twilight is dangerous Gradually
accommodating itself to the receding twilight.
the eye is unconsciously strained. l have
seen more than one case of grave disease of
the eye, produced by an undue effort to use
the vision too long at twilight White paint
is another mischief to the eyes. White paint

is much tried by the white paper. | hope

by artificial light when you can. We read

The EMPRESS OF AUsTRIA.-The wife of
Francis Joseph is one of the most beautiful
women of Europe; and famed equally for the
kindness of her temper and the charm of her
manner. She is tall, slender, graceful with
a very white skin, and, when pretty we'll, a
good deal of color, large, limpid blue eyes,
and an amazing head of very light hair,
which she wears in eight massive braids,
wound round and round her head. forming a
magnificent diadem of hair. such as very few
women could match. from their own resour-
ces. She speaks all the principal tongues of
Europe, and is particularly fond of the Eng.
lish language. which she soeaks perfectly.
rs though it were her native dialect. She is
an excellent musician, paints and draws
extremely well. and is one of the boldest and
most skilful of hersewomen.

A Useful Mining Invention.

E. D. Mccarthy, Of this city, has invented
| a vulcanized India rubber tappet for quartz
crushers, for which he claims MANY advan-
tages over the kind at present used. "he
want OF tappet not liable to break or get
out OF order has long been felt by mill men.
lhis invention appears to fully accomplish
not only that, but does away with the prin-
clpal part OF the Gathering noise so disagree
able IN quartz mill, and which effectually
preeludes all attempts at conversation
Persons at all acquainted with quartz mills
are aware of the serious inconvenience and
frequently heavy losses from g smash ups,
resulting from the breaking of machinery,
caused by the tappets getting loose and
slipping on the shaft. This tappet is formed
OF hollow cylinder of vulcanized india-rub-
Der, the same as are used for car. springs, on
railroads, etc., and in the same form as the
ordinary iron tappet; and when once forced
to its place on the shaft by screw pressure,
it cannot be moved from its seat by any
force or number Of blows. 1t can only be
removed by steady screw pressure IN the
same manner as it was put on. a small
apparatus for this purpose is furnished to
every mill using the tappet. Again, 1t not
unfrequently happens that in reversing an
engine some partoI inc macniuery 10 serious
ly injured and broken by the cam coming in
reverse contact with an unyielding iron tap
pet. In the use of this improvement the
only trouble will be the simple loss of tap
pet, through the yielding substance of which
the cam will plough its way without doing
any other damage. The under face of the
tappet, when it comes in contact with the
cam, is protected by movable steel plate,
which can be readily replaced when worn
out The first cost of one Of these tappets is
triAe less than one-half that of iron, its
transportation over the mountains not fifth
part as much, while it will wear much long
er. In fact the tappet itself will wear for a
great number of years-the only appreciahle
wear coming upon the movable shoe. This
apparatus will be known as the Noiseless
india rubber Tappet." Mr.. Mccarthy has
applied for patent for his invention through
the Mining and Scientific Press Patent
Agency. One of these improved tappets
may be seen at the Metropolitan Steam

EXECUTIONS AMONG THE JEws.-The He
brews had no executoner. When man
was guilty of homicide the executioner de
volged OF the next of kin, by the right & f
blood revenge; in other cases. the criminals
were stoned by the people, the witnesses set
ting the example; and when the king or
chief ordered a person to be put to deata the
Office was performed by the person to whom
the command was given, and this was gen
erallv person whose consideration in life
bore some proportion to that of the person to
be slain. Thus Solomon gave the commission
to kill JOab, the commander in chief, to
Benajah, person Of so much distinction as
to be himself Immediately promoted to the
Command which the death Of Joab left va
cant. In fact, the Office even OF a regular
executioner is in the most oriental courts
one of honor and distinction. Thus, when
there was no regular executioner, it came to he
considered post OF honor to pnt distln-
guished person Tt death-and on the other
hand the death itself was honorable
in proportion to the rank of the person
by whom the blow was inflicted. 1t was the
greatest dishonor to perish by woman or
slave We see this feeling distinctly in the
narrative where the two princes much pre-
fer to die by Gideon's own hand, than by
that of a youth who has obtaind no personal
distinction. As to the hero commissioning
his son to perform this Office. it was, perhaps,
partly to honor him with the distinction of
having slain two chief enemies Of Israel as
well as because the rules of blood revenge
made it necessary that the execution of those
who had slain his own brethren should either
be performed by himself or by member of
his own family. 1t seems vecy probable,
from all that transpred, tina, Oreb and Zeeb
had slain the brethren OF Gideon, after they
had taken them captives, in the same way
that they were Themselves slain.
