Advice to Those Using Glasses.
Edinburgh Reries0.


Men engaged in literary pursuits should
read most by day and write most by night.
1t is worthy Of note that reading causes
more strain to the eye than writing, and that
copying work in writing makes greater de-
mand upon the organ of vision than Of
hand composition. Twilight and mixture
of twilight and artificial illumination should
be avoided for any kind of work. The pale
cobalt -blue tint is the best that can be en-
ployed when protection for the eye from in
tense glare is sought, as in the case Of trav-
cling upon snow fields in bright sunshine.
The green glass that is often adopted for
this purpose is by no means 50 worthy Vi
the confidence. Reading in railway travel
ing is Objectionable in the highest degree
for a very obvious reason. The oscillation
Of the carriage continually alters the distance
Of the page from the eye, and SO calls for UNI
ceasing efert TO keep the organ in due &C
commodation for the eyer-varying distance
Of the dancing image. The exact fitting OF
the framework of spectacles TO the face and
eyes is of more Importance than Is generally
| conceived. If the center of the lenses Of
the speetacles do not accurately coincide
with the centers of the pupils Of the eyes,
the consequence is that the images in the
separate eyes are little displaced from the
positions which they ought to hold, and that
a somewhat painful and injurious effort has
to be made by the eye to bring those images
back int due correspondence for accurate
vision. An incipisnt squint is apt to be in
this way produced.
Nr. reriecommends that people should
look to the centering of their spectacles for
themselves. This may be easily done by
standing before a looking glass with specta-
Giles in their place. If the fit is good one
the center of the pupil should then appear
in the center of the rim. Fully formed
spectacles are always TO be preferred to fold
ing frames, because they permit of more
satisfactory adjustment in this particular,
and because they are more easily KEEP. in
their right position with regard to the eyes.
The only advantage which the pebble enjoys
over glass for the construction of spectacles
is the immunity which it possesses against
scratching and fracture on account of its
great hardness.

About Boys.

Mary A. Liyermore, In a recent address,
aid: The boy Of to-day Is not receiving tie
roper home culture. Children slip away
rom paternal care. This Is due TO the rig
orous old-time home culture. Education
must be inculcated by the mother. In Wales
the character Of the mother Is inquired for as
a recommendation for the son. The average
boy, noisy, impetuous, detesting home work,
bankrupt in education and dodger OF
churches and other pious places, has fathom-
less tenderness for his mother, but he wants
no spectator. He is characterized by q pas
sionate loyalty 10 whatever he espouses, and
high sense of honor to which appeal can
safely be made In most cases. One thing In
his teaching Is superintendent purity.
Let the mother inculcate this with loving
care, putting aside false notions of modesiy
and all prudishness. Let us have done with
the belief In the saying, "Wild eats must
some time be sowed." He who thus scws
must inevitably reap similar harvest. Every
boy should be trained to respect womanhood.
Nothing SO much adorns manhood as his re-
spect for woman. Theboy should be trained
In politeness. This has commercial value
nowadays. lie makes his way In life easier
for pleasing address. There Is no reason
why the boy Of to-day should not be taught
the ordinary rules Of etiquette. Good man
ners are TO man what beauty Is TO awoman.
But best Of all, train boys In honor, In integ-
rity and trustworhiness. Every boy should
have an industrial occupation, andthls should
be In harmony with bis tastes. So with
girls. 10 sum IL al up, train the boy Into
manliness, that standard Of manliness that
combines the strongest virtues with the gent
lest weakness. Let him be like hand 0f

A Missing Letter.

Five years ago maiden fair, whose home
was in a little town near Macon, Ga, anx-
iously awaited an important letter from her
absent lover. Days passed YEARLY. The
signing lass haunted the Postofiice, but the
Postmaster's face always wore that look OF
exasperating suietude common to those from
whom expected things never come. The
maiden thought that her heart would break,
for she realized at last that her lover was
faithless. The scene shifts. 1t is Septem.
Der, 1881. In Macon dwells the same lady
but she is now the happy wife with two
children. She has forgotten the faithless
one Of her days of woe. She, therefore, is
surprised when from the town of her youth
comes letter bearing as supsrscrption to
her maiden name that derived from her hus'
band. An accompanying note from the
Postmaster explains that in tearing away
some of the boards of letter case it was
found. Tie envelope is postmarked "lsT6.
The lady spanks the baby TO keep it quiet
while she eagerly devsurs the contents.
Heavens! 1t IS from John, who proposes in
glowing words and begs for q kind reply.
The lady's husband alss enjoys the letter,
and, cut of curiosity, communicates with
relatives Of the former lover. 1t is learned
that he is a happy Chicago pork packer, with
a wife and three sons.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
Bursting of the Fiy-wheel of Steam Engine
Ne1o York Sun.

Netc York Sun.
A tremendous crash in Nightingale Bros
silk mill at Straight and Ellison streets, fat-
erson, caused great excitement among the
ne,phbors and the crowd of working people
In the street little before seven O'Clock Oh a
recent morning. The street front OF the
brick engine-room was blown out and the
air was filed with flying beams and splinters.
Huge pieces of iron casting, weighing 5Oo or
600 pounds, were thrown half block away.
Several persons narrowly escaped being
struck by the flying pieces. The escape OF
steam made everybody think it was ooiier
explosion, but the real cause of the disaster
was the bursting of fy-wheel of the engine
in the mill. The engine was of about loo-
horse power, and had lain idle for about nj
teen yeais, a smaller one having been used
since the mill was turned from a cotton to
silk factory. The addition of new machin-
cry, however, required the use OF the big en-
zine for additional power, and machinists
had been at work on IL for several days. 1t
WAS run experimentally and seemed TO 60 all
right. The governor was arranged for 1t 10
make sixty revolutions minute. when
the firemen started up the boilers the engine
started Off eli its own account and could not
be stopped, as the steam supply valve was al
ready closed and there was no apparent rea-
son for Its going. 1t continued to Increase
us speed until IL was estimated that 1t was
cunning at the rate of $50 revolutions mill
ute. The limit Of safety was considered
,eyenty-fiye evolutions. In alarm the lie"
| men about the building fed for their lives,
except Fireman Carlough aud workman
| named James Killen, who were still trying
| to turn of the steam valve when The ny
wheel broke and the pieces few in every d.
| rection. The fy-wheel was fifteen feet IN
diameter and weighed eight tons. The en-
zine house, which was about thirty by fifteen
feet and two stories In height, was almost
demolished. The cause of the engines sud-
den starting was discovered TO be fracture
IN the seat Of new supply valve in the main
eam-pipe leading TO the engine. In shut
ting of steam it is supposed the pressure
broke of the fractured seat, which left the
pipe open for the passage of steam from the
/ boiler.

Cleans from Above the Blus.
Exchange.

In the course Of an hour q ray OF light
travels over space Of 592, 0o0, 900 miles, but
the elder Herschel was Of the opinion that
light required 1900, coo years to come to the
earth from the remotest luminous vapor
reached by his forty foot reflector.
1.-THE starless regions in the consultations
Of Scorpio and SerpentaIius may, think,
said Herschel, .'be regarded as tubes through
which We may look int the remotest depths
Of space.
Stars gather into groups, or stellar SYSTEM
by attractive forces.
1.-THE mass of a comet" says Humboldt,
ain no case equals the five thousandeth
part of that of the earth"
The planet Jupiter has nearly eleven
times as great a diameter as the earth, while
Ceres is only seventy miles in diameter. II
you care to take a lssk at Jupiter you can
see him now any pleasant evening up near
the Pleiades, or seven sisters.
Astronomers are now watching for the APP
pearance Of strange star called the Star OF
Bethlehem. II was last seen in lo12, when
it suddenly shown out brightly aud then
disappeared or faded gradually, assuming
various colors as it disappeared. The reg
ular periods of this wonderful star are be-
| lieved to extend backward 50 as TO lhoicAle
its appearance about the time Of the olrln
Of Christ, and from this fact it takes It's
uame-the star of Bethlehem.
The comet of 1850 travelled at the rate oil
2l2 miles a second. An express train gong
at this rate of speed would take you IRON
New York TO San Francisco in about iour'
teen seconds, and around the world III less
than two minutes.
The earth in her yearly journey around
the sun moves nearly nineteen miles eacn
second, or more than fifty times faster IMAM
swiftest rifle ball. In moving twenty
miles her path bends out Of straight line
less than one-eighth Of ali inch.
If the earth could be stopped in her sroll
and drawn by attraction TO the sun, she
would reach its center in about four months
A man who on earth weighs $50 pounds
would at the sun weigh two tons, and be un'
able TO move hand or foot.
The surface of the sun is one stupendous
mass of fire, rolling and darling out great
tongues of fame many thousands OF miles
int space. Great EXPLOSIONS, hurricanes
ard cyclones are often seen there.
The mass of the sun is probably gaseous
but still 1t is denser than water.
If the sun were to come as near us as the
moon, the solid earth would nelt like wax.
Herschel says that if cylinder OF ice
forty five miles in diameter were dsrted into
the sun with the velocity Of light, the cen
centrated heat of the sun would melt 1t al
fast as 1t came; or put it, if you please, II
another way. If acted upon by the entire
heat of the sun, solid column of ice Two
and quarter miles in diameter and long
enough to reach from here to the sun would
be melted in single second.

ST. Gothard.

The st. Gothard mountain has just been
pierced by tunnel nine miles long. and
costing $60,000.000. The cost is shared by
Germany, Switzerland and Italy, the last
paying the largest share. Its original pur-
pose was the ruin Of the French traffic by
diverting travel and traffic through the
above named countries. They have hereto
fore passed through the Mount Gents tunnel
and the Mediterranean. But now France
has came to the front. In that country cap
ital has been subscribed for nelthrsugh
Mount St. Bernard. This will lessen the
distance between the British Channel and
Brindisi, Is well rs between the channel and
Eastern Europe. 1t promises to BE- most
stupendous undertaking. AT present the st.
Gothard route has the advantage Of avoiding
transhipment Of goods ftom the North Sea
and Baltic ports.

Diamonds.
London Builder.

The most valuable diamonds are those
which are entirely colorless. Those with a
blue tinge. though still more rare, are not so
highly valued, As the actual beauty Of the
pure ones outweighs the rarity of the blue
variety. One Of the finest of the blue va
riety is, we believe, in the collection of Mr..
Beresfsrd- Hope. Diamonds of a rare tinge
take still good place; green diamonds are
tolerably numerous, and rank lower; yellow
ones are very common, and least esteemed.
The estimation of the value Of diamond is
made according To a regular system of ap-
prasement. 1t will surprise many of those
who are not conversant with the subject to
learn what large proportion Of damon d
is often ground away TO dust in cutting 1t so
as TO make the most of its brilliancy. The
greatest diamond In the French Treasury,
the Regent, weighed, We are told, 4lO
carats before cutting, and 1864 after cutting,
which seems an immense loss in size, but we
presume it really increased the marketable
value of the gem. OF course, the diamond
dust taken off in cutting is not allowed TO be
lost, but it is useful chiefly for practicable
purposes, In forming in its turn the means
of grinding down the faces of other dIa-
monds, for this superb stone will yield to no
tool but one from its own substance.

that steel ships pay. A steel ship was built
in 1877 for the Bilboa ore trade at q cost of
G1S,350, or 1850 more than she might have
been obtained for if built OF iron. The gross
earnings of this vessel, due to increased car
