oontending that John Gutenberg printed
here between l4i0 and 1850; but this Is
unsupported by any positive evidence.
The earliest dated book known to have
been printed here is dated l47l. John
Mentelin printed in Strasbourg, in l47S.
the first edition of the German Bible.
Toul was seat of early printing.
The first known work on Perspective,
by 10. Pelegrinus, was printed here in
1906; there is copy in the showcase
of literary curiosities in the British
Museum. Toul is also to be noted as
the place at which one of the earliest
1885.
AT Rheims printing was carrie on as
early as 1851. In 1852 was executed
here the first edition of the Catholic
English version of the New Testament,
and the first complete edition of the
English Catholic Bible was printed at
Rouen in 1885.
At Verdun printing was carried on
as early as 1860. At this place the
English prisoners who were detained by
Napoleon l. printed, by his permission,
a Book of Common Prayer"
Sedan has also an interest to lovers of
Typography. "Here were reprinted"
says Doctor Cotton, some very diminu-
tive volumes, well known to the collec-
tors of books, by the name of Sedan
editions-the Virgil dated 1925, the
Horace, of 1927, and the Greek Testa-
ment,' of 1927, are all of this kind at
present known" In Trinity College,
Dublin, is Sedan volume dated 1889.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.

CHILDLAINs AND OHAPPED HANDS.
The returning cold, damp weather
brings in its train the seasonable series
Of complaints, such as cbilblains, chap
ped hands and lips, etc. These appear
to be most prevalent just now, amongst
those exposed to the inclemency Of
changeable weather, who possess fair
complexion, delicate skin, and other
constitutional predispositiohs. To those
especially liable to these tiresome and
painful affections, we recommend as a
preventative wearing kid skin gloves
lined with wool, which not only keep
out the cold, but absorb any moisture
that may be p,n the hands and to
rub over the hands before washing a
small quantity of glycerin, which should
be allowed to dry or become ab. orbed to
partial extent. When chilblains do
manifest themselves, the best remedy
not only for preventing them ulceratiDg,
but overcoming the tingling, itching
pain, and stimulating the circulation Of
the part to healthy action, is the lini-
ment of belladonna two drachms), the
liniment of aconite lone drachm), car
bolic acid ten drops, to collodion fex-
lie Zone ounce), painted with camel's-
hair pencil over their surface. When
the chilblains vesicate, ulcerate, or
slough, it is better to omit the aconite
and apply the other components of the
liniment without it. The collodion
fexile forms q coating or protecting
film, which excludes the air, whilst the
sedative liniments allay the irritation,
generally of no trivial nature. For
chapped hands, we advise the free use of
glycerin and good olive oil in the pro-
portion of two parts of the former to
four of the latter; after this has been
well rubbed into the hands and allowed
to remain for little time, and the hands
subsequently washed with CASTLE soap
and tepid water, we recommend the bel
ladonna and collodion flexile to be paint
ed, and the protective film allowed to
permanently remain. These complaints
not unfrequently invade persons of
languid circulation and relaxed habit,
who should be put on generous regi-
men and treated with ferruginious
tonics. Obstinate cases are occasionally
met with, which no local application
will remedy, until some disordered state
of system is removed, or the general con-
dition of the patients health improved.
Chapped lips are also benefited by the
stimulating form of application we ad-
vocate, but the aconite must not be al
lowed to get ON the lips, or disagreea-
BILE tingling results.-Londom Medical

Two Rain.DrOpS.

Upon the highest point of land in the
State of Ohio, between Lake Erie and
the Ohio River, called the I" crest-line,"
stands a barn, the roof of which slopes
on one side toward the north, on the other
to the south.
Two twin rain-drops fall upon the
crest edge of the roof. One runs smooth
ly down the north side and falls to the
ground, where it joins the rivulet ON its
way to the stream, which bears it on to
the Sandusky, which empties into Lake
Erie.
The other rolls down the southern
slope into the streamlet below, and is
carried by it to join the Scioto on its way
to the Ohio River, which bears it on to
the Mississippi with whose waters it is
emptied into the Gulf of Mexico.
How different the journey and the
destination of the two drops! Both fell
upon the roof at the instant. A project
ing splinter, a nails head, or, it may be,
a breath of wind, turned the one from its
original direction and parted it forever
from its companion.
This reminds us of the separations
which sometimes take place in families.
Two brothers, reared uncer the same in
fuences, both apparently destined for
prosperity and happiness, start together
upon the journey of life. One goes reso-
lutely on in the right way, overcoming
all obstacles, to hear at last the welcome
"well done, good and faithful servant,
enter thou into the joy of thy Lord"
The other has equally high hopes and
desires. But little circumstance, per-
haps an invitation from an agreeable
friend to join Sabbath-day pleasure
excursion, a visit to the theatre, or, it
may be, the offer OF glass of wine,
proves the splinter or the nails head
which diverts him from the way.
He falls into the stream of pleasure to
be borne by deeper, darker, and swiiter
waters to the deep, to hear at last the
fearful sentence, Cast ye the unprotit-
able servant into outer darkness; there
shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth"
The Elk County advocate. [volume] (Ridgway, Pa.) 1868-1883, 1870-12-29

The War-CuriOus Typographical Re-
miniscences.

1t is among the curious things con-
nected with the war between Prussia
and France, that there is scarcely place
of any note that late events have made
us familiar with, that has not an interest
ing "reminiscences connected with print
ing.
Kehl, where the first work of destruc-
ton began, by an attempt to destroy
the bridge across the Rhine, is the To-
cality to which Baskerville's beautiful
type was transferred in l779, having
failed to procure purchaser at home.
Monsieur Beaumarchais, who bought it,
opened an Office in this town, and, at the
expense of three millions of francs, pub
hshed an edition of Voltaire's works,
consisting of twenty thousand copies, of
which twenty-five were on blue paper,
for King Frederick of Prussia, who
labored under weakness of the eyes,"
Metz, which has acquired SO much
notoriety, was early distinguished by
the introduction of printing. As early
as 1882 work was printed here the
trst book of Thomas a Kempis). In
1915 all Protestant printers had to quit
the city, and all such authors had to get
their works printed at Paris, or Rheims,
etc, for more than twenty years.
Strasbourg is well known to the learn
ed as one of the towns that put in a
claim to the honor of giving birth to the

A valuable reform in the matter of
the printing of the Patent Office Report
has Just been sanctioned by the House
Of Representatives. Heretofore this re-
port has been printed annually, and so
marvellous has been the increase in the
business of the Office, that last year it
flied three large volumes, the cost of
which was s235,OOO, mostly for plates.
Now it is proposed to print a condensed
weekly report, and to send hundred
copies to the capital of each State, and
to the Clerks office for each Judicial dis
trict. Provision is also made to enable
every public library to possess itself of
the books, simply upon the payment of
the cost of binding. In this way in
ventors and others will be able to avail
thems elves promptly of information
concerning patents, and the expense will
be very much less than under the for
mer plan.

The Egg q Miniature Universe.

The following remarkable passage oc-
ours in Professor Agassiz's Method of
Study in Natural History"
One can haId dly conceive the beauty of
the egg, as seen through the microscope
at this period of its growth, when the
yolk is divided with the dark granules
on one side; while the other side, where
the transparent vesicle is seen, is bril-
liant with light. With the growth of
the egg these granules enlarge, become
more distinct and under the microscope
some of them appear to be hollow. They
are not round in form but rather irregu-
lar, and under the effect of light they
are excee dinghy brilliant. Presently,
instead of being scattered equally over
the space they occupy, they form clus-
ters-constellations, as it were-and be-
tween these clusters are clear spaces,
produced by the separation of the albu-
MIN from the oil.
At this period of its growth there is
wonderful resemblance between the ap-
pearance of the egg, as seen under the
microscope, and the tirmamtnt with the
celestial bodies. The little clusters or
consultations are equally divided. Here
and there are two and two, like double
stars, or sometimes in threes or fves, or
sevens, recalling the Pleiades; and the
clear albumenous tracts are like the
empty spaces separating the stars. This
is simply true that such is the actual ap-
pearance of the yolk at this time; and
the idea cannot but suggest itself to the
mind, that the thoughts which have
been embodied in the universe, are re-
called here within the little egg, pre-
senting q miniature diagram of the
armament. This is one of the first
changes of the yolk, ending by forming
regular clusters, with a sort of network
of albumen between, and then this
phase of the growth is complete.

OK FINDING FAULT. - Find fault,
when you must find fault, in private, if
possible, and some time after the offence,
rather than at the time. The blamed
are less inclined to resist when they are
blamed without witness. Both parties are
calmer, and the accused person may be
struck with the eforbearance of the accuser,
who has seen the fault, and watched for a
private and proper time for mentioning
it. Never be harsh or unjust with your
children or servants. Firmness, with
gentleness of demeanor and regard
to the feelings, constitute that authority
which is always respected and valued.
If you have any cause to complain of a
servant, never speak hastily; wait, at
all events, until you have had time to
reflect on the nature of the offence; and,
if you must then reprove, it will not be
under the influence of anger.

Thanksgiving PrOclamatiOns.

Quite curious collection is that of
Thanksgiving proclamations, now on
file at Governor Hayes's officei in Column
bus, Ohio. There are some thirty of
them, affording in the aggregate fine
study in English and plagiarized Scrip
ture. Brevity in Thanksgiving proela-
nations is as desirable as brevity in
Thanksgiving sermons. The proclama-
ton of Governor Hayes, of Ohio, is the
shortest, containing only 4S words
The proclamation of Governor Senter,
of Tennessee, stands next on the list
containing So words. The longest
proclamation is that of Governor Mer-
rill, containing 3S4 words. The pr, cla-
nation OF Governor Haight, of Call
fornia, contains ll9 words; that of
