EyeSigllt.

Millions blindness was the result of
overwork and dyspepsia. One of the
most eminent American divines has for
some time been compelled to forego
the pleasure of reading, has spent thou
sands OF dollars in vain, and lost years
OF time, IN consequence Of getting up
a few hours before day and studying by
artificial light. Multitudes of men and
women have made their eyes weak for
life bv the too free use of the eyesight
in reading fine print and doing fine sew
ing.
In view of these things, it is we'll to
observe the following rules in the use of
the eyes
Avoid sudden changes between light
and darkness.
Never begin to read, wri e or sew for
several minutes after coming from dark
ness TO a bright light.
Never read by twilight or moonlight,
or of cloudy day.
Never read CT sew directly in front of
the light, or window, or door.
1t is better to have the light from
above, obhquely over the left shoulder.
Never sleep so that on first awakening
the eyes shall open upon the light of a
window.
Do not use the eyesight so scant that
it requires an effort to discriminate.
Too much light creates glare, and
pains and confuses the sight. The mo-
ment you are sensible of an effort to dis
tinguish, that moment cease, and take a
walk or ride.
As the sky is blue and the earth green,
it would seem that the ceiling should be
of blush tinge and the walls of some
mellow tint.
The moment you are instinctively
prompted to rub your eyes, that moment
stop using them.
If the eyelids are glued together on
waking up, do not forcibly open them,
but apply the saliva with the finger; it
is the speediest dilutent in the world.
Then wash the eyes and face in warm
water. -HaWS Journal of Health.

The Great Railway King of SOHth
America.

The New York Sun gives a long and
extremely interesting history of the
career of Henry Meiggs, the great rail
way king of South America. He Was
born in Catskill, Green county, n. Y, in
1911, and, after a not striking career in
business at the East, went to New York
city and amassed money in the lumber
business. In lS49 he loaded the ship
Mantle with lumber, and, with his
brother John g.. sailed for California
Here they embarked in an immense
lumber trade, built Musical Hall, lavish
ed thousands on music, bought land
all over the State and amassed q fortune
But in the panic of 1854 he went under,
and in the frenzy Of the day issued
forged paper for near million. AS his
crime became apparent, he bought n
bark and sailed to Valparaiso. There
he became superintendent Of bridges on
the railroad building to Santiago, and,
after the failure Of the English firm to
complete the road, assumed the whole
contract for $l2,0O0,000. The engineer
ing difficulties were immense, but he
did not fear, and made supplementary
contract with the Government that for
every lnOnIu unueT IOuf years III WHICH
he completed the road he should receive
100000, and for every month over he
should forfeit 100000. He began on
the 4th of July, 1888, and hiring CHILEAN
laborers at ten cents day and their
food-three cents mOre-he tunneled
and blasted his way through the huge
rocks, and on the 4th of July, 1860, the
road was complete, and ON the 9TH the
first train was run through to the capt.
tai. Meiggs' profits were 81 ,326, 900, and
might have been $3000,000 but for his
boundless generosity to the poor. He
built two grand dwellings, costing $780,
600, at Santiago, and there lived till
1867. He was induced by the call of the
Peruvian Government to go to that
country in the latter year. and build a
road from africa on the coast to Arequi-
pa, ninety miles inland, for $l2,0O0,OOO.
1t was completed by the first of the
present year, and Meiggs had 100000
worth Of medals struck in commemora
ton, and gave 100000 fete at Arequipa.
His profits were $4,000,000. He now has
contract to build road across the
Andes, for S65000,000. and lives in
magnificent state at Lima. He owns
several guano islands on the coast, and
is prospectively the richest man on the
! globe.

him to hurry on but when the last sad
rites were over, and he turned to mount
his horse, it was gone. The animal had
escaped in the woods, and, with night
coming on, all search seemed hopeless.
The money in the saddle.bags rendered
the loss maddening one. He threaded
his way through the underbrush, call
ing his steed by name, until total dark
ness hid all objects and, at last, striking
his head violently against tree, he fell
to the ground insensible. When he
came to he found himself lying in a
wagon, to which he had been conveyed
by kinkly German, who could speak
no English. In falling, he had broken
his arm, and was very weak and i'll.
Before he was able to communicate his
story to any one, all hope of recovering
either horse or money had deserted
him. He was in despair. He could not
assist his parents. To return to his
friends would be to throw himself upon
their bounty. This he would not do ;
and his struggles had been great at
| first, but they were over now. He had
done we'll by the old folks, and had
returned to pay his debts and resume
his friendship with his old friends"
He was with them he lived. The
farmer had doubtless told the truth.
He did not even know why the turf had
grown so green in the little yard, and
he had found the horse at large in the
woods, and knew nothing of the rider ;
but the thing had been done, and could
not be undone-the dead brought to
life, or the maniacs mind restored, or
the blood washed from the murderers
hands.
Of course they told their story, and Of
course they believed their friendship as
warm as ever but it was not so. They
never meet each other again as of yore
The two could not forget the man they
had lynched to avenge their friend, and
doubted the propriety of his returning
alive and merry to trouble their con-
sciences, which were quite enough as
| long as he seemed dead. As for Charles
Chester, he cleared the murdered mans
memory among his neighbors, and saw
the wild-eyed, white-faced woman, who
only shook her head and moaned and
muttered when he spoke to her; and
then he, too, was content to say good
bye to those who had done the decd
albeit for his sake.
So the three parted, each going his
own way for thus it seemed easier to
forget the deed done by Judge Lynch
and his court on the day OF the brides
coming home.

Orchilla.

Persons not deep in the mysteries OF
drugs and dyes are puzzled over the
word orchilla, which now meets their
eyes occasionally in newspaper para
graphs. Orchilla of very fine quality
has been discovered in Lower California.
An expedition is fitting cut at this port
(says New York paper to gather
orchilla in its newly found Southwestern
home. What is orchilla, that Califor-
MIA papers should crow over its exist
ence in that long peninsula that pokes
out from the southern boundary of their
State? And why should anybody think
ii good speculation to ship three hun
dred men, women and children from
New York, passage free, to go out there
and gather it? We will answer these
questions. Orchilla weed, orchella,
orchal, or orchil-for by these divers
which yields n beautiful, violet-reddish
dye. 1t is used to some extent for col
oring silks and woolens, and has only
the fault, but a serious one, that it lacks
permanency. Notwithstanding that de-
feet, it is still an article in request
among dyers, and, its production hith-
erto being limited, commands good
prices Its principal sources of supply
for Europe are the Canary and Cape de
Verde Islands, Barbary and the Levant;
to these have recently been added Ecua-
dor, Peru and the Galapagos Islands.
Those who glance over the instructive
tables Of imports that we publish weekly
must have observed it now and then APP
pearing among the items along with an
natto argols, divi-divi, garancine, NELL
othe, safflower, and other herbs, roots,
woods or gums of outlandish name.
Last year this country imported $4,000
worth of orchilla weed, and $4,700 worth
of orchilla liquor or tincture. Its value
in England, which is the principal mar
ket, varies greatly from time to time.
In seasons of scarcity it has been as high
as 81 900 per ton, but is now quoted at
Dos. to Cos. per cwt., according to quail
ty. 1t grows on bushes and stones, near
the sea, and in some regions so album
dainty that quarter of ton may be
picked by one person in a day-a prof
table business, if it could be kept up at
present prices. Of the profusion and
the quality of orchilla in Lower Califor-
mia, we avouch nothing from our own
knowledge but it is probably not infe-
rior to the Old World article, since that
from Ecuador, on the Pacific coast, is
said to be fully equal, if not superior, to
its European and African competitors.

Photography by Moonlight.

The possibility of making photographs
by moonlight, says the photographic
World, has often been doubted. In the
Worlds Exhibition of 1862, Breeze ex.
hibited moonlight pictures Of a statue.
Everybody doubted that the pictures
were taken by moonlight even the time
of exposure, seventeen minutes, failed
to convince the Photographic public.
Lately, however, Ozier, in Jersey, has
demonstrated the possibility of taking
such pictures, and he has given the
positive proof. We have seen such pic
lures at our friend Simpsons, in the city
of London.
The trick to make moonlight pictures
in broad daylight with short exposure is
well known. But here we had real
moonlight pictures, and as a positive
proof we had the fac smile of the moon,
not as round disc which had been
pasted in, but as we see her in the OBJ
servatory with our telescopes. The
moon, however, did not appear round,
but heightened with round corners.
That the moon must appear in the
form in picture with long exposure is
natural she moves and draws a line of
light over the plate. In both sides of
the stereoscopic pictures these lines APP.
peared alike. From the length of the
line of light the time of exposure can be
calculated.
The proportion was about as one to
five, and as it takes the moon about two
minutes TO travel the distance of it's
own diameter, it follows that the time
of exposure must have been about ten
minutes. The object was seashore
with cliffs, with the reflection of the
moonlight on the water. The outlines
were sufficiently distinct to give an idea
of the scenery.

A Monkey Story.

monkey was permitted to run free,
and had frequently seen the men-servants
in the great country-kitchen take down
a powder-horn, that stood on the chin
ny-piece, and throw few grains into
the fire to make the maids scream,
which they always did on such occasions.
Pug waited his opportunity, and when
all was still he clambered up, got posses
sion of the well-filled powder horn,
perched himself gingerly on one of the
horizontal wheels, placed for the sup.
port of saucepans, right over the warm
ashes of an almost extinct ood-fire,
screwed off the top of the horn, and
reversed it over the CRATE. The explo-
sion sent him halfway up the chimney.
Before he was blown up he was a snug,
trim, well-conditioned monkey he came
down carbonated. The weight with
which he pitched upon the hot ashes i'll
the midst of the general flare-up, aroused
him to sense of his condition. lie
was missing for days. Hunger at last
drove him forth and he sneaked into
the house, looking scared and devilish ;
but, like some other great parsonage, he
never got over his sudden elevation and
fall. If ever Pug forgot himself and
was troublesome, you had only TO take
down powder-horn in hrs presence,
and he was off to his hole like a shot,
screaming and chattering his jaws like
pair of castanets.

Microscopic Engraving.

Now that pigeon posts have come into
fashion, microscopic writing has risen
in estimation 1t is revival of an art
that has been highly esteemed during
the last hundred and fifty years, al
though only occasionally practised. We
have in our possession many specimens
of the art, chiefly consisting of the
Creed, the Commandments, the Lord 5
Prayer in seven languages, all in the
minutest characters, and within the
space of sixpence or shilling. Occa-
sionally, the writing is made to take the
form of engraved lines in portrait
and one of the most curious specimens
of this particular adaptation of the art
of microscopic writing is to be found in
"The Book of Common Prayer, En-
graved and Printed by j. Stuart" in
1717. The whole volume is curiosity,
each page having been engraved from a
distinct plate-said to have been OF
silver-and ornamented with illustra-
tons and devices. The frontispiece rep.
resents a bust of George the First, the
lines in which are composed of micro
SCOPE writing, consisting of the Lords
PRAYER, the Creed, the Commandments
the prayer for the royal family, and the
twenty-frst Psalm. These are so en-,
graved as to appear, at the first glance
like the ordinary lines in copper plate
engraving; and yet the writing can be
distinctly read.

THE BosToN Journal says "The OBJ
servations taken on Mount Washington
during the past winter have established
one important fact, that the periods of
intense cold are felt at the high altitude
from twelve to twenty.four hours sooner
than they are in the country below.
Careful observations are made at Hano-
yer, N. H., to be compared with those
on the mountains, and others are made
at points nearer Mount Washington, at
Gorham, Whitefeld, Lunenburg, VT,
ETC., either in connection with the expe-
dition or for the Smithsonian Institution
at Washington. A comparison of all
the observations will probably disclose
other meteorological facts than the one
referred to above"
