FROM the inquiries conducted by Pro-
fessor Hermann Cohn, Of Breslau, since
1865, 1t appears that ort-sightedness Is
rarely or never born with those subject
to il, and Is almost always the result of
strains sustained by the eye during study
in carly youth. A better construction
of school desks, an improved typography
Of textbooks, and sufficient lighting Of
class-rooms are the remedies proposed
to abate this malady.
One OF the advantages pertaining to
the new method Of engraving by cleo
tricity-an electric spark pen having
been invented for the purpose in Paris
is that the artist does all parts of his
work, and with no more trouble than IL
working with an ordinary pencil, and
can even operate in dark room, with
out any other light than the glare from
the induction spark. II sheet OF thin
paper be attached to plate of copper
or zinc, it Is said that an engraving may
be made with extraordinary facility by
this device. .'rf.,.
DIR. CUTTER states that the increase.
Of nervous diseases, decaying teeth, pre-
mature badness, and general lack of
muscular and bone strength are greatly
due to the impoverished quality OF flour

AWAY In order to make the flour white.
He urges the use of unbolted flour, and
of eggs, milk and butter. He denies
that fish is brain food, or that Agassiz
ever said that 1t was, and claims that
butter, being nearly all fat, Is n better
kind Of brain food than any other.

PLAYING the Clown.

It is great treat TO witness an exhibit
ton of the Argus in an attempt to be fun
ny. It is enough. as the saying is, Ito
make horse laugh II is as mirih NOV
ing as to witness the antics of tame bear
in attempting to initiate the movements
Of professional dancing master. When
the Argus steps into the ring to play the
buffoon, punchinello il nowhere.
The Argus Of yesterday was uncom-
monty funny. 1t went for the Com
mittee on the Commonwealth, and wasn't
it fun To see how it ''took them down p"
Its first great hit was NJ the word
commonwealth. This word it claimed
belongs exclusively to Massachu-
sets chow innny.) Massachusetts
is the only legal Commonwealth
in the Union Exceedingly funny. The
Committee therefore must have some
thing to do with Massachusetts (tremen-
dously funny. The funniest thing. how
ever, in connection with this matter is
that there is no good authority in the En-
glish language that agrees with the Ar
gus. Webster defines the word Com
monwealtli'' to be state, body polite &c
Worcester ditto, and ditto every lexico-
grapher of any rcpute. Funny is not il
that the Argus should be so ignorant Of
the meaning of the word .Common-
wealth." and that the State Legislature at
ter all should be correct and Maine have
rs much right to appoint Committee on
the Commonwealth as Massachusetts
Another funny hit of the Argus was in
bestowing nicknames upon a respectable
member OF the Executive Council, and a
it's own city, both ranking among the
y ablest men in the State. and As sincerely
DESTROYS TO peform faithfully their duty to
the State as the Argus is to have them do
it. We suggest that the Argus ought to
begin in its nicknaming business with the
highest functionary in the State, and so go
through the list, a. it is unfair to honor
with such distinction only II lew individ-
uals. Let il begiu with Governor Plaistcd
clubbing him, ''lIs Excellcncy High Cock
olorum Plaisted': Plaisted the man
who wants to Carry the Executive
Council in his Brecches Pocket; :" and so
apply its nicknames without fear or favor.
rs other harlequins do for the amusement
of the vulgar multitude. Don't under
stand us as APPLYING the above cuphonious
appellations to Governor Plaisted we only
use them for the benefit of the Argus in
its attempts to be funny
