Sunday and Suicide.

A well-kept Sunday perfectly meets the
want of the modern man. It offers him just
the rest which he requires. There is no re-
Taxation so complete as that which presents
thoughts and interests so utterly different
from those with with which man is COM
monty engage, and the loftier those thonghts
and the higher those interests the better. The
jaded faculties never enjoy such perfect rest
as when another set of faculties arc called
into play and exercise while the tired ones
sleep in calm. We are not going now OH the
theological argument for Sunday we leave
that entirely untouched, except in so far as
we recognize the truth that good theology is
good sense and that the requirements OF
true religion are founded on the surest bases
of the eternal fitness of things. And we say
then, never more than in this country and at
this time, was Sunday an essential element in
human life for its we'll being; and not, be it
marked, the continental Sunday of military
reviews, brass bands, and beer gardens, nor
the old Jewish 'Sabbath" of the Puritan,
with its stern and funeral gloom, but the
Christian and churchly Lords day, the cheer
fullest and brightest of all the seven, when
the old primeval curse, In the sweat of thy
brow shalt thou eat Bread" is suspended for
the sons of Adam, and they stand on the
earth, Christ's emancipated free men. 1t is
the neglect of this provision of God that is
the root cause of the deaths and suicides and
insanities from overwork, which shock us al
most daily in the current items of news.

When Sir William Thomson invented his
rejecting galvanometer, and showed its use.
fulness for telegraphic purposes, he insured
the success of undcr-sca cables, whatever
their length With this instrument the move
ments of the little reflector enable the clerk
to read off the message by careful watching.
But recently, Sir William Thomson has in
vented an instrument-the patent siphon re-
corder-which, as its name indicates. writes
or records the message, as received, on q
strip of paper. 1t is an essential condition OF
such an instrument that it shall be very light;
and the siphon, in this case, made of capillary
tubing, is not thicker than horse-hair: In
deed, so small is the bore, that the ink will
not flow therein of itself, but squirts out when
electrified The siphon is connected with a
coil of copper-wire, an electro-magnct, and
an ebOnite disk, armed with pieces of soft
iron, which, being attracted by the magnet,
is kept rotating, and regulates the current
flowing from the battery and the cable. Acted
on by this current, the ink, as already stated,
squirts from the siphon, and writes q success

read it off as if it were ordinary writing.

never saw q garment too fine for man or
maid; there never was a chair too good for
q cobbler, or cooper, or king to sit in; never
a house too fine to shelter the human bead.
These elements about us, the gorgeous sky,
the imperial sun are not too good for the hu-
man race. Elegance fits man. But do we
not value these tools of housekeeping little
more than they are worth, and sometimes
mortgage home for the mahogany We would
bring into it? Iwould rather eat my dinner
off the head of barrel, or dress after the
fashion of John the Baptist in the wilder
ness, or sit on block all my life, than con.
sumo myself before get to q home, and
take so much pains with the outside that the
inside was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty
is great thing, but beauty of garments,
house and furniture is very tawdry orna-
ment compared with domestic love. All the
elegance in the world will not make home,
and would give more for a spoon full of
real hearty love than for whole ship-loads Of
furniture, and all the gorgeousness that all
the upholsters in the world could gather to-
gether. Theodore Parker. .i'

the increase of their joint Indebtedness dur

hundred and thirteen millions of dollars.
This does not include Great Britain, whose
indebtedness has not been increased in that
time. The total Indebtedness of the nations
at the present time is sixteen thousand seven

Turkey and Spain are virtually bankrupt {;
Mexico and one or two of the South Ameri-
can States pay no interest on their debts |;
Brazil is mortgaged to the extent of two

Mrs. Edwin Forrest, the tragedian's wife,

at her husbands funeral. He says: Sitting

THEY have strange chambermaids at Shep-
ards Hotel, in Cairo, (saysa 4 lady traveler).
The one who waited on our room and attended
to the various duties of the calling, even to
the making of beds, was Frenchman, dressed
as if for dinner party, white vest and dress
coat, and having the mir of a refined gentle
man. 1t was really embarrassing to accept
his services in such a capacity. One of the
ladies, on arriving at the hotel, rang for the
chambermaid. This gentleman presented
himself. Supposing him to be the proprietor
or his clerk, see expressed her wish to see
the chambermaid. He very politely replied,
in the best English he could command,

Ir is curious fact that il the same letters
of the same size precisely are painted on two
boards, the one black on white ground and
the other white on black ground, the white
letters will appear larger and be read at a
greater distance than the black. This is owing
to what is called the irradiation of light. It
depends on this that the impression made on
the bottom of the eye by bright objects ex-
tends little wider than the actual portion
of the organ struck by the light, and, invad-
ing the space occupied by the darker objects,
makes the brighter appear larger than they
really are.

The Eve-SOme Of the Common Dam
gers to which 1t Is Subject.

The SCULPTOR Crawford was accustomed all
his life to read lying down. To this very
largely physicians attributed the loss OF his
eye. Very soon cancer formed in the other,
which caused his death,
The great historian Prescott lost his eye
sight when student by q bit of bread thrown
in sport by fellow-student at the table.
Never be careless in such little matters. A
pair of scissors or fork thrown in sport or
anger, has often caused the loss of an eye,
which the wealth of the world cannot replace.
A friend, who was very ambitious to finish
a set of linen for her brothers, spent almost
a winter in fine stitching, sitting up often
late at night over the work, in which she
took great delight. The result was that the
nerve of the eye was so injured that she was
obliged wholly to give up sewing, knitting
and reading, under penalty of becoming per-
fectly blind
A young lady, who lived but ten miles by
train from school, used to spend the time in
studying certain lesson while she was rid
ing down in the morning. The result was
severe affection of the eyes, which disabled
her from study for a long time. 1t is always
hurtful to the eyes to read in the train, though
we may not see the bad effects 50 plainly
when it happens only occasionally. "A steady
practice, like this young lady's, may produce
even worse results when the system is in a
bad state.
Never read by twilight, nor before eating
in the morning. The little you gain in time
will be doubly lost in failing of the eye
sight long before life's sundown.
l know young clergyman who IS re-
markably well-read man, but whose eyes are
perfect deformity He said he ruined them
by reading at night, long and intently, when
he was getting his education. He seems to
have no control of the lids, which twitch and
move in a most grotesque manner. Don't
fancy you can do what you please with your
eyes, and yet have them serve you faithfully.
Take as good care of them rs you would of
gold, for gold can never replace lost eyesight.
