prospects may be stated as favorable To

About thousand years ago colony
of lcelauders was planted on the western
coast of Greenland. They were hardy
people, Injured to cold and mcagre living,
aud there seemed to be no reason why they
should not take root in the frozen soil Of
their new home. They built stone church
there and stone houses to live in, Of which
the ruins are still to be seen. But what
became Of the builders is a question that
has never been solved and never will be
They vanished from the face Of the earth
and that is all that is known. Whether
cold, or pestilence, or starvation took them
off, or whether wandering sayages killed
them, no man can tell Their settlement i,
known in history as Lost Greenland.

The ill-late that has attended the three
splendid steamships of the French line that
had been cut in two aud pieced out, will be
likely to put an end to this way Of making
large vessels out Of small ones, and also cause
travellers to look with dstrust upon the
long and narrow crafts that have been so
popular with several of the great European
lines. The last dispatches state that all on
board the Amcrique, with the exception Of
the second officer who was drowned, were

that it will make a rigid investigation as
to the causes leading to the abandonment

honor OF France that this course has been

has produced upon the public opinion Of

DR.. Brown Sequard in recent lee
ture 10 Boston on nerve force, deprecated
the custom Of training children to rely on
the right hand alone, instead of acquiring
the use of both hands with equal facility,
as nature intended Aside from the OBJ
vious advantages of being able to use the
left hand, in case of accident to the right,
he said that mental development is the re-
suit of properly directed physical training,
and that the brain grows in size and power
by the varied exercises Of the senses and the
will in mechanical employments and that
by using one side of the body the ineilicienoy
and arrested development of the left hand
is shared by the left side of the brain, 50
that we have less brain power than We
should possess, with more harmonious de,
velopment.

The industrial outlook of the country
at this time Is anything but cheering. The
lumber interest Of Michigan, Wisconsin and
Minnesota is greatly depressed. First
class carpenters arc glad to get work, in
Chicago, at one dollar and fifty cents a day
not half the rates of two years ago.
Within few weeks largo number Of
the heavy iron mills Of Pennsylvania have
closed down, aud more are soon to follow
the example. Nearly seven hundred blast
furnaces IN that State have put out their
ircs, and II is asserted that by the first Of
June every furnace in the entire State will
be blown out The coal business Of Penn.
syWauia is, also, nearly staguant. That,
and the iron interest Of that State furnish |
the direct means Of support to nearly five
hundred thousand people and should the
present dizziness in those industries continue
