A CHEAP WAY TO MAKE COLD
CmsEL.-Take a fiat file, break Off one
end, so that piece will be left about eight
inches long; heat it in charcoal fire to red
ness and bury it in wood ashes, or in dry
sIaked lime, so that, it may be very long
time in cooling. Grind one end Of the file
until the teeth have all disappeared; for
wherever the scratch Of tool is left the
metal is apt to crack, the cause Of which it
lis not necessary here to explain. Now,
take she file to any place where you can
have the use of hammer and an anvil, or
any other heavy block Of metal, and, if you
are too poor to pay for it, we have no doubt
that any smith will let you heat your file
and hammer it yourself without charging
you much. Hammer out your file until It
is sufficiently thin, and keep on hammerlng
it with light blows, until it cools to what is
called black heat-that is, a heat Just Wis
IDLY red in perfect darkness-after this,
thrust the cutting end in charcoal fire, IN
til one inch is red hot Now cool half an
inch Of the edge in cold water, which will
render the edge quite too hord. Watch the
color Of the steel as the different shades APP
pear near and at the cutting edge, and as
soon as you see a light straw color on the
surface, plunge the chisel iuto cold water.
But on this point, practice alone is a safe
guide The great points which require at
tention are to avoid burning or overheating,
and to pack or hammer-harden the steel
we'll.

TUESDAY EVENING, SEPT. n.

On THE USE OF SPEcTACLEs.-Hith most
persons there is an epoch In lite when the eyes
become slightly fattened. 1t arises, probably,
from diminished activity of the secretipg YES
sells. The consequence is, the globe is not
cutie as completely distended with fluids as in
youth and middle age. There is thus an elon
gagged axis of vision. A book is held further
of to be read. Finally, becoming more tatten-
cd by the same inactivity within, the difficulty
Is met by putting on convex glasses. This is
the waning vision of age. 1t, however, when
that advancing impertcctlon Is first realized,
the individual persists in the attempt to keep
the book in the old focus OF vlsion-even II he
reads under perplexing disadvantages, never re-
laxlng, but perseveringy proceeding Just as nc
did when his eyes were In the meridian oil their
perIectiOn-the slack vessels will at last come
up TO his assistance, and original focal distance
will Be re established.
This statement will unqucstionably be COM
battcd theoretically by those who use glasses,
but il will be n waste OF franchise power, be-
cause the fact is established beyond cavil. We
DO not pretend it will be successful in every
instance, but generally. 1t glasses are once re-
sorted to, then the opportunity of doing with
out them is forever lOSt.-Dr. j. !. {. Smlth.
THE Book TRADE.-SOme idea of the mag
nitude Of this business may be had from the
daily reports in the New York papers where
the regular annual trade sales have been pro
crossing for several days past. On this subject
The New York Express says:
1.-The time was-not many years ago--when
the publishing houses were confined chiefly to a
few of the leading cities of the seaboard-say
Boston, New York and Philadclphia-bu now
we have representative men from houses not
only in Cincinnati, Chicago, Pittsburg and St.
Louis, but Sacramento aud San Francisco. Ii
is pleasing to have increasing proofs at these
trade sales, that the public taste tor trashy Int,
eraturc is on the waue, and that tho demand
runs chiefly for works OF permanent worth.
