The Archbishop of York, DR.. Thomp-

Miss Burdett Coutts, now her lady
ship, is the richest and most philan-
thTopic woman in England. The bank

CURIoUs-to see a rope walk.
The Art Of ProIongiDE Life.

People generally desire long life and good
health. Sickness and premature death are
almost always due to violations of the laws
that govern our physical being, and of which
the masses are ignorant. If men knew bet
ter they would do better; but how can they
avoid an evil that they know not of? While
efforts are made through the public schools
to give each child so-called common Eng
lish education, yet the children are per-
mitted to grow up and enter upon the re-
sponsible duties of active life, profoundly
ignorant of the structure of their own
bodies, and the laws of physical being upon
which their health and lives depend. They
are sent to school and crammed with arith-
metic, grammar, and geography, by teachers
who, in many instances, have never studied
physiology and hygiene. They are taught to
locate the mountains and trace the rivers of
foreign couptries, but are never taught to
locate the vital organs and glands of their
| own bodies, or trace the veins, arteries and
nerves, in their various ramifcations. They
are instructed in the flow of tides, and the
course of the ocean currents, and the phi
losophy of winds and storms; but they have
no correct conception of the relative effects
upon their health of breathing pure or i'm
pure air, nor has their attention ever been
| called to the importance of keeping their
bodies clean and healthy by regular bathing.
| The crimnallty of such neglect in teaching
| becomes apparent when we consider that
the masses, ignorantlY violating the laws OF
| health, bring upon themselves sickness, suf-
| fering, and death, that might otherwise be
avoided. In this condition of things we
welcome into being any work that is ca.
culated to impart to the masses knowledge
of the structure of taeir own bodies, the
laws of health, and the importance of OBJ
serving those laws. We find DIR. Pieree's
Common Sense Medical Adviser to be just
such work. tits physiological and Patio
logical, and the major part of it should be
converted into textbook for the use OF
common schools. Its careful study will en-.
able the healthy to preserve their health
and the sickly to regain hea tn. Every
parent should read it, and as their children
become of proper age instruct them in tht
all-important truths it contains. Wer,
this done, much suffering and premature
death would be prevented, and many ayoutl
saved from life of shame and icentious
ness. The book contains nearly one thou

Attention to small things, and by this
we do not mean giving up the mind to
petty details, but rather habit of neg
lecting nothing because it may seem un-
important,i is of the highest consequence.
Quite often we are in fault in our esti-
mate of what is valuable, apparent
trifes proving to be the weightiest re-
alities. We rec entity saw an enumera-
ton of some OF the great results which
had followed the observation Of appar-
emily little things. The rejecting ap-
paratus for light houses arose out of q
wager between two men that one would
read the smallest print of newspaper
by the light of farthing candle placed
ten yards distant. A snuff manufactur-
er, drying snuff one day, accidentally
overheated portion, which he found
thereby became wonderfully increased
in pungency. He profited by the acci-
dent and made fortune. The method
of glazing pottery with common salt is
said to have been discovered by the ac-
cidental boiling over of vessel contain
ing brine intended for use in curing
pork. The combing machine for long
staple cotton was suggested to the in
ventor by seeing his daughters combing
their hair. The burning OF flint for
the making of Staffordshire ware is due
to the fact that piece of flint was once
calcined and powdered for application to
the eye of horse. We could multiply
instances indefinitely to show that some
times the smallest circumstances taken
advantage of may be made exceedingly
profitable. Not only in the matter of
invention, but in the conduct of every
business, mucll may be gained by culti-
waiting a habit of constant observation
and turning everything to account.

A Mnd-ROad Locomotive.

Perhaps the most novel sight that was
ever seen in Michigan was witnessed
here, says the Farwell mich. Register,
in the way of railroad engine running
through the woods on common dirt
road. The engine arrived day or two
since, on the Flint and Pere Marquette
railway, from Pittsburg, made expressly
for their railroad north OF this place,
used for hauling logs to the Muskegon
river. After its arrival here, the query
was, how to get the engine to it's desti-
nation-soms fifteen miles distant. Two
hundred dollars having been offered for
the job without avail, the managers con-
oeived the novel plan of getting up
steam and trying the wagon road, which
was put into execution. This morning
steam YVES gotten up and the engine
started northward on the Iona and
Houghton Lake State road at the west
end of town, with cheers and hurrahs
from the assembled crowd. 1t moved
off slowly and steadily without any ap-
parent difficulty, followed by force Of
men with levers, and teams with water
to supply its wants. The sight was
curious and novel, railroad engine
putting through the tall pines, vomiting
fire and smoke and startling the aston
! ished woodsmen along the route.

Some Facts About japan.

The Japanese use neither butter, milk,
bread nor cheese, but their rice is most
nutritious. The children love their par
ents; and when the missionaries talk
about the commandment, "Honor thy
father and thy mother" the japanese
only think of the low condition OF a
country where such precept could be
needed. Kindness to animals is great
characteristic; no bird is ever shot at,
no animal ever beaten, and on all the
highways you will find stones, erected
centuries ago, directing men 10 water
their horses here. There are excellent
schools; and of the 800 college students
in Toxic, every one is familiar with Eng
lish. In the capital there are seven
daily papers and fifteen weeklies; while
such books as Mills Philosophy" and
Buckles History of Civilization, with
others more radical, have been. translat-
ed into Japanese, and are largely read
by the middle class, who are almost all
rationalists. One Of them, when asked
why they did not send missionaries to
this country, said: "We are too polite to
send missionaries to undermine other
peoples beliefs" These people do not
even swear; and their strongest exple-
tive, translated into English, means only
Vexatious |" They are good-natured,
happy, contented people, to whom much
wrong has been done by other nations,
thinking it no harm to defame the hea-
then.

Pearl Fishing.
keep him

Pearl fishing is at the best only a
gigantic lottery, the prizes in which
bear very small proportion to the
blanks. But in this as in many other
uncertain pursuits, hope always tells
fattering tale, and keeps awake the en-
ergies of thousands of interested oper-
ators. First there are the divers, who
perform the actual operations of fishing
for pearls. Arrayed in natures garb,
and provided with knife and small
bag of netting in which to collect the
gathered oysters, and with rope tied
round their waists, and heavy stone
attached to their feet, they are let down
into the water, taking first deep breath,
and remaining there till forced to rise
again. Expert divers will remain be-
meath the water for sixty, ninety, and
even 1870 seconds. This period they oc-
cupy in detaching the mussels from the
rocks, matter frequently of much
difficulty. Those of very small size they
do not attempt to gather, for the larger
the shells the more chance Of their con-
tanning pearl. The native divers are
able to guess at the age of the oyster by
the resistance it offers; the older the
oyster the more easily it is detached, and
the greater the chance of its producing a
large pearl.
