5lately adopted the custom of sending
their cards to their friends on the first
day Of the new year, instead Of calling
In person. With many ladies, also, the
practice has grown mp Of receiving
cards BY . messenger boy hired for tho
purpose. or Of securing . boy for New
Years Day to attend the door and an.
nounce the visitors. Messengers de-
lyered $500 cards from gentlemen,
and : great many houses were supplied
with boys Is d0orkeepers on last New
Years Day. On Christmas Eve over
600 boys were carrying Christmas gifts
from one point to another, and on
Thanksgiving Day almost one-half Of
the entire force resolved itself into .
committee Of turkey-carriers. Mes
sengers are also employed as ushers at
fashionable weddings, and as $. mama
gers" Of the arrangements for carriages
on such occasions. ~.
The books Of the company show the
services for which the boys have been
required, and many laughable records
are to be seen. One boy was detailed
to take care of q lady's poodle, for
which he was paid thirty cents an
hour. An escort was required to at
tend to the theater lady whose hus-
band was to sscome later A Young
man was once telegraphed for in order
TO bring . bumptious servant to terms.
During political campaigns the boys
are employed extensively to distribute
documents. Car-drivers, and indeed
all classes Of people who have to get
up very early in the morning, are pc
culiarly dependent upon the messenger
boy system. The books also show that
the messenger boys have been used to
order dinners, to buy all kinds Of
liquors, to do shopping for women. to
pay bills Of ell amounts, and even to
borrow umbrellas. Not unfrequently
boys are sent to pawnbrokers' shops
with articles.-M. 7. Tribune.

The Boy Who Straycd Away From
Home.
n TRUE INCIDENT.

4 TRUE INCIDENT.
ABOUT nine miles from the CITY Of
Davenport, Iowa, lives family Of the
name Of Scott. One day the mother.
having an GRAND in the city, went
there, and was gone all day.
Coming home in the evening she
learned, to her great dismay, that her
little Harry. boy only five years old,
was missing; also that the shepherd
dog Carlo, chat the child used to play
with, was not to be found.
The poor mother, with her husband
and several Of the neighbors, searched
for the boy all night; and the next
morning she got track Of him as hav-
Ing been seen on the road to Davcn-
port. At once she started again for
that city.
Arriving there, she met an old man.
who told her that strange boy, fol.
lowed by shepherd-dog, had been
found straying about by Mr.. Green;
and he had given them shelter in his
house during the night.
II will go and bring the child to
you, if you wish, said the old man.
Mrs. Scott thanked him kindly, and
said she would wait at the house Of q
friend. which she pointed out. until his
return. .
It seems, that, the day before, hav.
ing missed his mother, Harry had
thought he could not do better than 70
to Davenport in search Of her. So lie
started of; but Carlo, the good dog,
knew he was too email boy to Be
trusted alone, and so went to take care
Of him.
In the city the little fellow did not
know where to find his mother, and
soon he grew 80 tired that he sat down
on the sidewalk and went to sleep,
while Carlo kept watch over him.
There Mr.. Green found him and took
him into his house.
Here the boy was led into . bedroom,
and separated from Carlo. But the
dog would not permit this. Hewhined
and growled till they had to let him
into the room, and then he stretched
himself on the bed BY the side Of his
little master, and seemed well con.
tented.
In the morning, after Harry and
Carlo had eaten their breakfast, the
old man who had met Mrs. Scott came
and told the little boy that his mother
was waiting for him. So they started
of. All at once Carlo left them and
rushed forward in Z great state Of Joy.
He had seen his good mistress, Mrs.
Scott, standing at the door Of . house,
and he ran with lightning speed to
greet her. He crouched at her feet,
jumped, gambolled, tried to lick her

copies of one book, the Ritual, which
French scholars call the ..Funereal
Ritual" and Germans the .sBook of
the Dead" 1t is q work evidently
compiled from time to time, divided
into sections, originally separate books,
and chapters, each chapter being usual
y illustrated by a representation of its
chief subject above the text. Part of
this book has been found of the date of
the eleventh dynasty, (before B. C.
2,O0O), and, according to its own state
ment, which derives collateral support
from more general assertion of Man.
etho. ono chapter was discovered in
the time of the great pyramid-building
Kings OF the fourth dynasty. There
can be no doubt that the greater part
Is of extreme antiquity. Two great
difficulties assail us in the endeav0r
evon to construe this book. It was
held to be specially advantageous to
the mummided Egyptian that copy
should be deposited in his tomb. Con-
sequently it became the custom to
write these copies in great numbers,
and, as-they were not intended to be
read, the scribes were careless in their
copying. Hence arises multitude Of
errors which at every step embarrass
the student. The other difficulty is
due to the causes which render the
Egyptian religious writings more hard
to interpret than the historical. Yet,
thanks to NJ. DeRouge's patience and
skill. the general purport of the work
is now understood. It is, throughout,
text and commentary, and curiously,
the text usually simpler than the COM
montary, which, by its allegorizing
method. renders the obscurity OF the
subject greater. The theme OF the
ritual is the story of mans fate in the
neither world, and the text consists of q
series of prayers to be said in each of
the several zones through which the
soul was to pass on its way to judg-
ment, and the confession Of innocence

Reading and Eyeslght.

N. JAvEL, in . recent lecture, tries
to answer the question, Why is reading
. specially fatiguing exercisep and also
suggests some remedies for this fatigue.
First, N. Javel says reading requires
an absolutely permanent application Of
eyesight, resulting in q permanent ten
sion Of the organ, which may be meas
nred by the amount Of fatigue, or BY
the production Of permanent myopy;
secondly, books are printed in black on
q white ground, The eye is thus in
presence Of the most absolute contrast
which can be imagined. The third
peculiarly lies in the arrangement Of
the characters in horizontal lines, over
which we run our eyes. If we main
tain during reading q perfect immo-
bility of the book and the head, the
printed lines are applied successfully
to the same parts Of the retina, while
the interspaces, more bright, also affect
certain regions Of the retina, always
the same. There must result from this
q fatigue analogous to that which we
experience when we make experiments
in !" accidental images" and physicists
will admit that there is nothing more
disastrous for the sight than the pro-
longed contemplation of these images.
LASTLY. and most important of all in
n. Javel's estimation, is the continual
variation of the distance of the eve
from the point of fxation on the book.
A simple calculation demonstrates that
the accommodation of the eye to the
page undergoes distinct variation in
proportion as the eye passes from the
beginning to the end Of each line, and
that this variation is all the greater in
proportion to the nearness Of the book
to the eye and the length Of the line.
As to the rules which NJ. Javel incul-
Gates In order that the injurious effects
Of reading may be avoided, with refer
ence to the permanent application Of
the eyes, he counsels to avoid excess,
to take notes in reading, to stop in
order to reflect, or even to roll cigar
cite; BIT not to 60 on reading for hours
on end without stopping. AS to the
contrast between the white Of the pa
per and the black Of the characters,
various experiments have been made in
the introduction of colored papers. NJ
Javel advises the adoption Of slightly
yellow tint. But the nature of TIE yell
low to be used is not q matter OF indit-
ference; he would desire yellow re-
sulting from the absence OF the ol9e
rays, analogous to that Of paper made
from wood paste, and which - often
mistakenly corrected BY the add1uon OF
an ultramarine blue, which produces
gray and not white. N. Javel has been
led to this conclusion both from practi-
cal observation and also theoretically
from the relation which must exist be.
tween the two eyes and the colors Of
the spectrum. His third advice is to
give preference to small volumes which
can be held in the hand, which obviates
the necessity of the bOok being kept

The Louisville Democrnt renrese

The Louisville Democrat represent
ing the Rev. Mr.. Pickett's interests
in the canvass for Superintendent OF
Public Instruction has this 10 say:
II Edgar should be elected, DIR. Stu
art Robinson will be the real Super
intendent of Public Instruction.
1t little becomes the Democra TO
use such coarse logic for the further
'ance Of one gentleman's claims at the
expense of another. Col. Edgar's in
dividualiiy is as well developed as
Dr. Robinson's, and we think his
record in the battle fields of the Re-
bellion demonstrates the fact. Edgar
is destined TO become our next Super
intendent and the Democrat should
begin TO school itsClfin reconciliation.

seat in the Senate. The Greenback-
crs were also opposed to seating him
and made lengthy speeches against
it, but the brave and chivalric Demo-
cratic Senate opened wide its heart of
generosity and justice and admitted
him to seat. The Senate, it should
be remembered, is largely made up
of Confederate brigadiers and it is
especially shocking 10 the Republican
party That such good should result
from this legislation. Now give the

Wire in Wheat.

The fears entertained for several
months past that the improved meth
cd of harvesting with wire binding
machinery would prove inpracticable
on account of small pieces of wire re-
manning in the grain to damage mill
ing machinery, have been dissipated.
The Minnesota Millers' Association
passed resolution, last year, denounc-
ing wire binders, as detrimental to
Milling interests and declaring that
members of the Association, who
were nearly all large Merchant Mill
ers, would make difference of ten
cents per bushel less for wheat har-
vested with the Wire-binder. Attic
recent meeting of the Association a
method of.extracting wire from wheat
was tried with satisfactory results.
Two gangs of common horse shoe
magnets were placed in a spout.
through which wheat was passed
after having been mixed with parti-
Giles of wire, varying in size from that
of pins head to'an inch in length.
In every trial all the pieces, by actual
count. were found upon the magnets.
The Committee appointed to test
The matter more thoroughly reported
that magnets had been placed in sew
eral large mills of ST. Paul and used
for several days. The opinion of the
Committee was that the magnets OBJ
waited the evil entirely. The las
years denunciatory resolution was
virtually withdrawn. The Scientific
american says that the device EN-
ployed in the tests at st. Paul ant
Minneapolis was not patented. A
patented invention for the same worl
is described as consisting of revolv
ing iron cylinder, through which thu
wheat is passed. During each revo
luton Of the cylinder, it is twice, aut
omatically, connected with and dis
connected from an electric, battery
Inside this cylinder an endless aprol
