The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is be-

between Chicago and the East. During
the past year it has left no stone

ture of money in the perfecting of new
enterprises and the placing on the line an
equipment finer than any Road in the
country possesses, is an evidence of the
appreciation of the friendliness of the
public, then certainly the public have no
| reason to complain. The new B. & 0.
| SIeepeIs are without exception the most
magnificent palace cars ever constructed.
An improvement upon the old style cars 10
heighth, width and length, these new
sleepers combine convenienees for the
comfort and pleasure Of passengers wholly
unparalleled. The seats are higher and
the ventilation very much better, and the

under the new schedule which went into

Superior to any English or American. A d.
PLoMA was awarded TO this Magnesia, by the
American Institute in 1852.
This very useful and elegant preparation is used
as Aperient antc-acid in dyspepsia compla ints

has the advantage over common Magnesia. in being
dissolved. and therefore not being liable to accu-
mulate in the bowels. 1t is decidedly superior to
Carbonate OF Soda or Potash, account of its ap-
orient quality.
This solution of Magnesia is found particularly
beneficial as pleasing sedatiye and ape-ient in all

complaints. MANTLE disorders, or sea sickness.
An ounce or two of this solution speedily re-
moves heartburn, acrid er1ctations and sourness,
or irregular digestion.
The solution Is Of itself an apcrient but its laxa-
tive properties can be much augmented by taking
with it. or directly after II, little lemon Juice.
mixed with sugar and water, or even with cream

vescent draugh can be safely taken at any time
during fever or thirst.
TO tie presence of so much carhouIc acid, have
been found very valuable in pGtrid and other fe-
breath. and the Magnesia cleans the teeth from
tartar.
The solution is almost invariably succeeded in

iy censured by the press of his state who
ridicule the idea Of the democracy dis

Hill that he can go where he pleases poll

the Democratic party of Georgia. The

two years hence when the next house of

Care Of the Eyes.

The most serious trouble with readers
and writers is, as might be predicted from
their peculiar work, weak eyes. We find
that engravers, watchmakers, and all others
who use their eyes constantly in their
work, take extra care to preserve them by
getting the best possible light by day and
using the best artificial light at night. The
great army Of writers and readers are care.
less, and most of them sooner or later, pay
the penalty by being forced to give up
night work entirel y-some to give up read
ing, except at short intervals under the
best conditions, and now and then one
loses the eyesight entirely after it is too
late TO take warning. Greek, German,
shorthand, or any other characters differ
ing from the plain Roman type, makes a
double danger. The custom is to laugh at
all warnings till plain or workness makes
| attention imperative, and then it is often
too late to avert the mischief. Few COM
prehend the vast number we call a million,
but it takes a million letters to make q
fair.sized volume of 500 pages, forty lines
| to the page, fifty letters to the line. A
reader makes an easy day of reading this
but his eyes must 60 over a thousand
| letters We can do no better service to
readers and writers than to call attention
to this great danger of failing to take the
best of care, which is none too good, for
the eyes. Every tyro knows that he should
have the best light for reading, should shun
early dawn or twilight, should always stop
at the first signs of pain or WEAKNESS, etc.
Most know that the glare from plain,
white'surface is very trying, and that the
eye is relieved by a tint. Recent expert
ments in Germany are reported to indicate
some yellowish tint as the easiest for the
eyes. Dark papers, inks that show little
color on first writing, faint lead pencil
marks that can be read only by straining
the eyes are fruitful sources of mischief
So is bad writing. The bad paper, ink and
pencils most of our readers will have toe
good sense to use. The intelligent public
should so clearly show its disgust at the
fine type, solid matter, poor paper and
poor printing which some publisher
and most periodicals, except the best, are
guilty of offering, that no publisher woulC
dare attempt the experiment a secone
time.

Teas.
AND HOW THEY ARE ADULTERATED.

1t is pretty generally known that the
orthodox teas prepared in the east for Amer.
lea and European use are adulterated
but comparatively few people are aware of
the extent to which this adulteraton is
carried on, or what substances are used.
NJ. Hussen, a French chemist of note, has
made thorough investigation of the sub
ject, and the result of his researches has
been laid before the academy of sciences.
He finds that Prussian blue, indigo and
gypsum, in small quantities, are the princi.
pal ingredients employed to impart the
''face," or "bloom," to teas, and that in
the proportions used they are very innocu-
Gus. This adulteration takes place where
the plants are raised but more extensive
adulteration is subsequently INDUCED in by
the Europeans, who, with their superior
knowledge, have surpassed the Asiaties in
their fraud by the use of still more danger
Gus drugs, such as chromate of lead and
arsenicate of copper, besides making use
of comparatively innocuous substances, such
as sulphate of iron, stearite, carbonates of
lime and magnesia. The Chinese have be.
come most expert in manipulating green
teas which they color with few simple
substances, some of them poisonous-for
example, plumbago, Prussian blue, curcuma
and kaolin. With or without the true leaf
of the shrub, they can produce a tea of
any desired tint. In order to give the in
ferior or false the aroma of the tea, the
Celestials mix quantity of it with certain
flowers, especially a species of olive. In
short, according to NJ. Hussen, no injurious
proceeding is omitted in the Celestial EN-.
pire to palm on the outer barbarian inferior
or false teas. In the leading teagrowing
districts the government has a corps of in.
spectors who are required to see that the
goods are dispatched in pure state. The
precaution, however, avails little-for at
the shipping ports there is no attempt to
prevent the merchants, or brokers from
commencing their fraudulent practices,
which they carry on to their hearts con-
tent. In spite of their knowledge of the
extent to which this adultertion is carried
on, we presume our people will continue to
drink of the cup which is said to cheer
without stealing away persons brains.
