Use Of the Ives

The man who avoids exccsses of every
description has fair chance of retain.
ing his cyesight until old age sets in. A
time comes 10 every one when the phy.
steal powers begin to decay. and then
unless the brain has been kept active
and recipient by exercise, there is moth
ing left to live and the man perishes.
We say that he dies Of govt, or over-eat-
ing, or Of heart disease, or of the failure
Of the particular organ which was the
first to exhibit symptoms Of the ap-
preaching end. In reality he has died
Of stupidity, artifcially produced By
neglect of the talents with which he was
endowed. That which is true Of the or
ganism as a whole IL true also of its
parts; and the eyes, among othere, are
best treated by an amount Of systematic
use which preserves the tone of their
muscles and the regularity OF their blood
supply. Acuteness Of sight il aided by
the attention bestowed upon objects
within the range of vision. In people
who cannot read, the sight is far from
acute. have syen had reason TO think that
the wives of sach men are indebted to
their household needlowork for the main
tenance of higher standard Of vision
than that of their husbands; and I have
no doubt that idleness Of the eyes. II /
may use such an expression, is in every
way hurtful 10 them, and that proper
and varied employment is eminently
conducive to their preservation in beauty
and efficiency.

Ounce Seed Cnrls.

Every one knows that the little loops
and curls Of hair which lie fatty down
against the forehead of the girl of our
species do not thus maintain themselves
naturally, and nearly every one who has
had the curiosity to ask them about it
knows now that the gum Of the ounce
seed is employed to make Hhese curls
"stay put" The ounce seed gum has
peculiar properties which make il suit
able above every other article for this
purpose. IL would even hold smoothly
down the quilts upon the frctful porcu-
pine. An oui.cc of ounce seed contains
albuminous gum enough for innumcr.
able bangs. Three years or more ago,
before the hang had assumed It's sway,
an ounce OF quince seeds could be
bought for FIVE cents. or a pound. which
would supply the requirements of a
large family Of girls for year or more,
could be had for forty-fivc cents. Five
pounds was the ordinary stock which
dealer in drugs kept on hand, and there
was almost no demand at all for the
seeds. They are imported chiefly from
Russia, and not over 500 pounds in n
year were in those happy days brought
TO this country. As the present whim
in hair-dressing became more popular
the demand for ounce seed quickly
improved, until at present the stock in
the market is almost exhausted, prob
ably not over 100 pounds being distrib-
uted among the drug dealers Of New
York. Now nearly 10000 pounds are
imported in year, and the price is
fromfe3 80 to s4.OO pound. A whole.

Rrims from Mecca. The whole city was

pilgrims and their families on camels,

were followed by the band Of the gar

was not, perhaps, a very striking one in
itself, but the crowd which had hocked

How and Where Globes are Made.

1t is a fact not known, perhaps, by
many readers that Troy is one Of the
largest and best producers Of school and
library globes in the country. The
manufacture was begun in this city in
1852. At first only ball five inches
in diameter was made, but IO-inch
terrestrial globe was soon added. The
list Of sizes was rapidly increased. The
balls are made in Boston, but the APP
pcndagcB arc supplied and the globes
mounted and shipped in this city,
where are owned the plates from which
the maps are printed. Globe making is
a shllful and delicate process. The
maps are printed in small sections on
English drawing paper and these seq
mcnts must be 20 nicely put upon the
hollow ball of papier macho that there
shall not he the slightest break in the
alignment Of letters or the continuity Of
lines when the smooth and painted sur
face is complete. Three months are re-
quired TO construct one Of these worlds
in miniature from the time that the
ball is begun until it rests in its frame
or sits aloft upon brass, bronze or
nickel standard And il must be 80
trimmed and mounted that it will have
no Discrimination to change It's inclina-
tion in the frame and will hang 80 truly
in space that il will halt in its rev oIu-

and remain motionlcss, as If it's center
OF gravity were in truth equally distant
from all points upon the circumfer-
ence. II the globe refuse to rest with
any other country than America on top,
the maker will be deemed more patri-
otic than skillful. The sizes mauufac-
tured range from three TO thirty
inches IN diameter, and from 500 TO
S223 in price, and are mounted in forty
different STYLES. The increasing de-
mand for the portable orbs is shown by
the fact that the shipments from this
city last year were fifty per cent. larger
than during the preceding year Trgy
