THE INTELLECTUAL LIFE. By Philip Gilbert
Hamerton. Portland, Loriug, Short s. Harmon.
1t is too late in the day to introduce Mr..
Hamerton to buyers of books. The fortu-
nate class who do sometimes have little
spare money to invest in that way will im-
mediately feel in their pockets when tney
learn that a new book is out by rniilp
Gilbert Hamerton. We deed only 10 ihal-
cate the topics discussed in his latest work.
uo rronoses "to consider the possibilities Of
satisfactory intellectual life under various con-
ditious of ordinary human existence" His
chief purpose is ''to guard some who may
read the book alike against the loss of time
caused by unnecessary discouragement, and
the waste of effort which is the consequence
of misdirected energies" 81 have written
for all classes, in the conviction that the in
telectual lille is really within the reach of
eyery one who earnestly desires it." "The
essence of intellectual living, does not reside
in extent of science Or in perfection of ex-
nression. but in a constant preference for
higher thoughts over lower thoughts, and
this preference may be the habit of mind
which has not any very considerable amount
of information" With this general purpose
the author gives us series of letters on the
following subjects: The Physical Basis, The
Moral Decentralization The Power OF
Time. The Influences Of Money, Custom
and Tradition. Women and Marriage.
Aristocracy and Democracy. Society ana
Solitude. Intellectual Hygienics. Trades
and Professions. Surroundings. The letters
are written as if to real persons; the author
saws he makes it rule to have real person

DISEASES OF ARTISANS AND MECHANICS.
"A careful investigation has been made of
special diseases incident to the occupations of
artisans and mechanics, and the following
are some OF the most interesting among the
mass of facts and data brought to light:
1t appears that gilders -re subject 10 mercu-
rial affections. They suffer from giddiness,
asthma, and very frequently from partial par
alysis, which often induces peculiar kind OF
stammering They also frequently suffer
from unpleasant ulcers in the mouth.
Miners in the quicksilver mines suffer from
vertigo, palsy and convulsions, and the occ1
patton cannot be pursued long time.
Pottery glaciers, who use lead largely, get
into a condition very similar to that de-
scribed abov., with the addition of dropsy,
loss of teeth and enialged spleen. Palsy of
the limbs especially Of the arms,is common
disease among them, as also Is consumption.
Glass-blowers are the victims Of those af-
fections produced by sudden vicissitudes OF
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES and various in
Examinations. They arc apt to become thin
and delicate, and their eyes get weak.
Stone cutters inhale the sharp particles,
which tend to produce disease of the lungs.
while plasterers suffer from the gases olsen
gagged and from. excessive moisture-they are
also troubled with labored breathing, and
they digest badly
Filers are short-lived, for whether the
metal be brass or iron, the fine, sharp parli-
cles, make their way into the lungs of even
the hardest workmer, where they develop
disease-sometime asthma, sometimes con-
sumption.-St. Louis Republican.

EXPLOSIONS.


PHILADELPHIA, Dec. "a, 1873.
I SELDOM, if ever, pick up a newspaper without
i seeing, among the first items that arrest my at
tention, the record of terrible boiler explosion.
Very many causes assigned for this loss of life
and property great deal is said as TO what should
be done and what should not be done. But scarce
ly ever hear it said that these explosions due to
an accumulation of Scale in the Boiler and yet eight
out of ten instances that occur in midst un
doubtedly due to this cause.
Now, permit me to say that manufacture Com
position that will readily and thoroughly remove this
incrustation; and while am constantly sending it
the United States exact pay for its un-
less it gives perfect satisfaction and fulfls all he
claims make for it.
My preparation will remove Scale from any Boiler,
no matter how deco may be the ircrusat on, and at
the time it will prevent injury to the Boiler
from anything which may be held in solution by the
water contained IN it. This article will absolutely
prevent the formation of Scale if timely introduced
The powder which manufacture has been care
fully tested by some of the ablest chemists in the
countr,, and its fitness to keep iron clean aud to
preserve it has been demonstrated by them in the
most satisfactory manner.
If you will send for my circular with my terms and
full particulars give me call, think l will be
able convince the most sceptical that this compo
sition will justify all claim for it.
Very respectfully yours,
GEO, w. LORD.
