Effect of Tea on the Skin.

If you place few drops of strong tea
upon piece of iron, knife blade, for
instance, the tannate of iron is formed,
which is black. If you mix tea with iron
filings, or pulverized iron, you can make
fair article of ink. If you mix it with
fresh human blood, it forms with the
iron of the blood the tannate of iron.
Take human skin and let it soak for a
time in strong tea, and it will become
leather. Now, when we remember that
the liquids which enter the stomach are
rapidly absorbed by the venous absor-
bents of the stomach, and enter into the
circulation and are thrown out of the sys-
tenn by the skin, lungs, and kidneys, it is
probable that drink so common as tea,
and so abundantly used, will have some
effect. Can it be possible that tannin, in
PRODUCED with so much liquid
respiration, will have no effect upon the
skin? Look at the tea-drinkers of Rus
STA, the Chinese, and the old women of
America, who have so long continued
the habit of drinking strong tea. Are
they not dark-colored and leather
skinned?

Something AhOut Glass.

Some boy writes to "The Doctor, -
asking how window glass is made so fiat
and smooth, especially those in the
large windows of store-fronts. There
are two kinds Of window-glass, one called
"cylinder and the other "plate" glass.
All the large panes are plate-glass, as
the size of cylinder glass cannot be in
creased beyond a certain point. In this
ikAlInd OF glass a cylinder is blown.
Those who have been in glass house
and advise you, whenever you have an
opportunity, to visit one and see how
this wonderful material is worked
know that to make a cylinder glass is
first blown. This then is worked into a
cylinder by rolling it upon an iron table.
After cylinder is made its ends are cut
OFT, and it is divided lengthwise and fiat
tened out to form a fiat, smooth sheet.
All plate-glass is cast. A polished iron
table has Lodges at the side as high as
the thickness of the plate of glass.
The metal glass is poured upon this and
spread and flattened by copper roller.
The plate is then annealed that is, put
into very hot furnace, which is so ar
ranged that the glass will cool very
slowly, in order that it shall be tough
when, at the end of week or so, it is
cool. But the glass is now dull and
rough, like that which you see in roofs
and skylghts. To become the beauti-
full plate-glass it must be ground and
polished. The. plates are so arranged

60 Slower.

Inc most casual observer must have
notlced the increase of epidemics, the
increase OF the number of sudden deaths,
generally attributed to heart disease, or
II Id midsummer to sunstroke, and the
increase in the number of insane and of
suicides. This is true of our own coun-
Try and Of Europe. Even in France the
number of suicides has increased, year
ly, from 4, 157, in 1870, to 6, 424 in 1878,
and over IN Peoria county, ILL.,, there
are slxty-nine insane and idiotic persons
IN the county poor-house. Like Stats
ties appear in the papers wherever the
attention may be turned. What does all
that mean? may be reasonably asked.
Our explanation is that civilized men
are killing themselves by overwork and
excessive use of narcotics and stimulants.
We are living too fast. We rush the
cattle too much. We are too constantly
on the stretch. We do not rest and lub-
ber-lift enough. The result is we ex-
haust vitality and break down the nerv-
GUS systems and the brain, and sudden
deaths and insanity results, and the
wretchedness and suffering experienced
by persons whose nervous systems are
not properly nourlshed lead directly to
suicide.
If this is the correct diagnosis the
course for thoughtful people to pursue
is plain enough. Eat less, rest more,
avoid tobacco, wholly if you can, but at
most use it as little as possible let ex-
citing drinks of I'll kinds alone, sleep all
the system requires, throw care and it's
canker to the winds, cultivate your rea-
sonable, thoughtful, pleasant neighbor,
go more into society, attend elevating
public entertainments, cultivate music
In the family, and remember what the
wise man Of old said, 81 am now old,
yet L have never seen the righteous for
saken or his seed begging bread"
We need to get back to the plain, old
fashioned, common sense in the matter
of living and the enjoyment of life, as a
means Of regaining health and strength,

the LITTLE WAlF.
81 HARRIET Z. s. CRESSY.

Mr.. Jacob Pinkham and Mrs, Adele
Bronson were near neighbors, and, as
Jacob was a bachelor aud Adele was
widow, and both were about of an age,
many thought it little surprising they
did not marry; others thought it would
be still more surprising if they did, as
Jacob was, IN their opinion, confirmed
bachelor. To be sure he was yet in the
forties, and looked younger than many
others of his age, but his habits and
tastes were those of recluse, and the
solemn, morose, old housekeeper who
had lived with him since the death of
his mother, ten years before, was calcrl-
lated to repress instead of encourage
any attempt of sociability.
He was well aware that his neighbor,
the bright, cheerful, little widow, was
quite the opposite of that old ogre, and
the moments he had passed in her COM
pany he recalled as pleasant ones, still
he would never put himself out of the
way In the least to meet her. Once or
twice he had overtaken her in rain
storm, and offered her the greater share
OF his umbrella, and they had enjoyed a
chat, the abrupt ending of which, as
they reached her gate, he greatly re-
GREETED. Indeed, to have continued
walking in the rain all day in such
companionship would have been agreea-
BILE to him. But he went home and set
tied down in the same old routine to
which he had been so long accustomed,
and the widow kept along in her own
cheerful course, neither seeking the IA
Yor of the other. He passed her house
daily, and sometimes number of times
IN day, and they bowed to each other
the same as to other acquaintance, but
seldom exchanged word and, if any
one had limited to either that they would
one day become intimately acquainted,
the possibility of such a thing would
have been denied. But, in spite of their
mcredulity, such state of affairs was
brought about in the following way
One day terrible railroad accident oc-

In the midst of it all lovely babe was

train hands said it belonged to lady
and gentleman who then lay dead at

bodies of the parents, and the helpless
little creature that had seemingly come
to him for protection, awakened his
sympathy, and he believed it his duty
to do all he could for 1t.

"and leave it with my housekeeper until
I can hire some one to come into the
house and take care of it."
So he walked home with the babe in
his arms, rather curious proceeding
for a bachelor, he thought, and, when
he reached the door, his housekeeper
met him with anything but pleasant
greeting.

An Eve Fountain.

The eyesight of the Gar is said to
have greatly improved by simple rem
edy, consisting of a glaznoi douche, or
eye fountain, throwing a tiny jet of deli
cate spray yard and half into the air.
The temperature of the water is fixed at
so degrees Fahrenheit, and the spray is
allowed to beat against the eyelids for
ninety seconds, night and morning. The
remedy seems at first sight ridiculously
simple, but it has for several years been
successfully employed in Russia. For
the literary man or jaded beauty, going
with weak and weary eyes to rest, there
is said to be nothing more refreshing
than to bend for minute or two over a
glaznoi douche. The eyes recover
strength in an amazing manner from
the fine but powerful impact of the in
vigorating spray, and there is none of
that Oppressive reaction succeeding the
use oftonics.
