Toucbinx reflection.

1t is an exquisite and beautiful thing in
our nature that when the heart is touched
and softened by some tranquil happiness
or affectionate feeling, the memory of the
dead comes over it most powerfully and ire
sistibly. 1t would seem almost as though
our better thoughts and sympathies were
charms, in virtue of which the soul is en-
abled to hold some vauge and mysterious
intercourse with the spirits of those whom
we. dearly. loved in lifel Alas, how often
and how long may those patient angels
hover above us, watching for the spell which
is so seldom uttered and so soon forgotten.

About the earliest data that we have con-
cerning beds are of Egyptian origin, and
they are very slight. Sir Gardiner Wilkin-
son thinks that the Egyptians usually slept
on their day -couches, which were long and
straight sometimes with back, sometimes
with carving of the heads and feet of
animals at the ends, made of bronze of
alabaster, of gold and ivory, of inlaid
wood, and richly cushioned. Where these
were not in use, mats replaced them, or
low pallets made of palm boughs, with a
wooden pillow followed out for the head.
What Egypt had, the Assyrian and the rest
of the world had; and the Greek, when
ever he could, improved upon other coun-
tries notions; and the Greek couch, judg-
ing from the bas-reliefs On many vases,
we're of great elegance. The Romans, al
though receiving SO many of their customs
and so much of their art from Greece, had
very simple beds until after their Eastern
conquests. Indeed beds which, with their
pillows, were merely hollows in slab of
stone, have been found among Roman re-
mains. But from the period when their
Asiatic dominion increased, the Romans
borrowed fashions from the conquered, and
they developed strong taste for luxury,
especially in the matter of BEDS Examples

the meantime, of course, in the barbaric

these forms generally being lost, it was an
advance in civilization when the bench be-
came the bed, and people were fastidious
enough at last to feel above sleeping on
bundles of straw or heaps of skin upon
flags,

DRINKING HN EDINBURGH.

VA writer in the Edinburgh (seotland)
Daily Reciew makes the following state
ments: The other day in the ladies' room
of one of the confectioners in Edinburgh
counted twelve ladies at one time, each
drinking spirits, porter, OR ale (none had
wine); one, girl not fourteen years old,
consumed bottle of stout. At the cour-
ter of the same shop, while I was buying
some "sweeties," two young ladies under
twenty paid for three "brandies and soda. I"
In the same place at another time, about
noon, was shocked to see lady order
and drink glass of raw brandy, and go
away without eating anything. A friend
who witnessed similar incident said the
draught was followed by liberal applica-
ton of eau de Cologne, to cover the offen-
sive smell. lam creditably informed that
school girls, with books in hand, go to
confectioners for ''nips" of cherry brandy,
more than one such visit being paid by the
same girl at different shops on her way
home; and in one case the owner of the
shop got severe reprimand from young
girl for having entered her handy in the
family 'pass-book, as she intended to pay for

SRTIFKCEAE EN ES SENSITIVE TO
LIGHT

Among the curious developments Of
science in the recent production by DR..
G. W. Slemens, of an artificial eye that is
sensitive to light. We wish we could add
that it gives vision to the blind; but we
cannot, though perhaps it contains germ
of premise in that direction. The new
eye composed of an ordinary glass lens,
backed by an artificial retina of selenium.
This mineral resembles and is allied to sui
phur; it is distilled from bodies that con-
tain sulphur, in conjunction with metals
SUCH as iron pyrites, compound Of sui
phur and iron.
Mr.. May, telegraph clerk employed at
the Valentia Cable Line, first observed, in
1873, that the electrical resistance Of sele-
mum was instantly altered by light, the
resistance being diminished by an increase
Of light.
DR.. Slemens makes use of this peculiari-
ty of selenium in the construction Of his
novel eye. An electrical circuit is ar
ranged, of which a bit of selenium forms a
part and constitute the retina. When a
strong light is admitted into the lens and
falls upon the selenium retina, the cur
rent Of electricity flows (by acting upon
small magnets) and may be made to work
the artificial lids of the eye opening and
closing them according to the intensity Of
the light.
1t is well known that vibrations Of nnu-
sical sounds may, by an ordinary conduct
ing wire, be electrically transmitted and
successfully delivered to the ear. 1t re-
mains to be determined whether light vi
brations can, by means Of selenium and
electricity, be transmitted to the brain
in the absence of the natural eye.

very severe article Of truth was enunci-
ated. q
One speaker said that he thought now
was the appointed time to bring humani-
tartan schemes before the public, mas
much as the present Administration has
no political questions to vex it, "because
it is supported by no party" "Hence it
(the aforesaid Administrator has abund-
ant leisure for humane projects" 1t
would seem, therefore, to be one of those
Providential circumstances, favorable to
the Indian cause, that Blaine and Conk-
ling, and little Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, have relieved Mr.. Hayes of any
party obligation and left him free and
untrammeled to pursue the instincts of his
gentle nature and the teachings of his
mother and Sunday-school monitor.
Could a President without a party to
support him-with none of the miserable
little work of kitchen politics in his
hands, in which former Presidents have
been so much involved-do better than
give his soul, body and official strength
to humanitarian schemes? Verify not.

CURIOUS HISTORY OF A STATE.

The territory now known as the State of
Wisconsin was claimed by France on the
ground of discovery by its missionaries and
teachers in 1890, Who governed it until
they ceded it to Great Britain. IL was
held BY the British nation until 1882, when
she ceded all her possessions northeast Of
the Ohio to the United States Wisconsin
was then thrown under the Territorial
Government of Ohio by the ordinance Of

SELECTION OF COLORS.

Neither blue nor crimson are servieeable
colors for furniture, though crimson and
maroon are admirable in carpets, holding
their own against time and hard use, and
abuse even amazingly. Nevertheless, one
requires much patience when she takes into
her house red and black or red and
maroon carpet for not to speak of dust,
thread of material of any color, hair,
even, can escape detection; broom is
constantly required. The word constantly
is advisedly used, no other suiting the
emergency. Nevertheless no carpets give
such pretty lights and reflections, or SO
much cheerful warmth and beauty, as one
of these troublesome, monotone-shaded
red ingrains. If the furniture be of a
snowy color, a carpet of quiet hues should
be chosen. A green carpet, particularly
the olive and sage shades, wears admirably,
though changes slightly, if in too strong
sunlight, as all colors do, more or less.
With brown and grey the case seems re-
versed, since brown carpet gets dingy,
and brown and gray combined needs a
good deal of bright color to give an air Of
comfort or cheer to room in which it is.
This is not true of brown carpets, whose
tone inclines to butternut or maroon, but
Of the cool, pure browns and grays. On
the contrary, chairs and sofas upholstered
brown prove the most satisfactory, per-
haps, Of all, since they keep warm, rich
tints and mellow shades in spite of sun and
time. Gray is rather too delicate in color
to be serviceable in furniture, but that is
very lovely, particularly If picked OUT by
bright oolors, none can deny.

VEGEIlNE.
MY SON SPEAKS.

Fl. R. STEVENS, Ese.-Dear Sir: This is to show
that my son was taken sick in January 1864 with
scrofula which came out in large sores and ulcers
on his leg and hip, His leg was swelled more than
twice its natural size He had several doctors of
high standing in their profession-two from Bos-
ton and three from Charlestown-without getting
bit better. He was obliged TO lie wherever he
was PLACED. for he had no use Of his limbs what
ever. When we had given up all hopes of his liv-
ing, we were told to try Vegetne, the great Blood
Remedy; and he had taken it but short time be-
fore we could see great change. The sores ran
50 bad that we had to change the cloths four or
five times day. Still he was getting better, for
he could move his limbs and help himself little.
He was soon able to sit up in bed, and BY constant
use of Vegetine it has cured him. H6 >a lame
leg, which he will probably have for fi{e, but we
all honestly belieye, If we had used Vegetine be-
fore we had bothered with those doctors itwould
have saved the use of his leg, and restored it to
natural health. | hope all those troubled with
