SPARE TIME.

Young people of only moderate means, who
are obliged to toll daily for the means of ex-
istence, urge as an excuse for neglecting the
cultivation Of their minds that they have no
time to spare. Now let US see how truthful
this assertion is Eight or nine hours out of
every twenty four must be given to sleep.
Eight or ten and sometimes twelve hours,
with recesses iuterspersed, must be given to
daily labor. There are four hours, more or
less, left for incidentals, attending to social
duties and miscellaneous work. Now this we
can portion out largely as we please. The
man may spend it in smoking cigars, in visits
to the corner grocery, in lounging about the
streets, in loa6ug at home, and in various
other ways that may be pleasant at the mo-
ment and leave no results of a valuable char
acter behind. Or, he may employ it in &C.
quiring knowledge of science, of mechanics,
or literature, of theology or, of whatever else
be pleases. The woman may spend it in
making rufles, in embroidery, 10 superauous
nicely of housekeeping, in making cake and
pies, in gossip with her neighbors, and in ten
thousand other ways that leave no results of
valuable character behind. Or, she may
employ it in acquiring knowled dge and accom-
plishments ofvarious kinds. But these young
people cannot "have their cake and eatit."
The matter is entirely question of choice.
The husband must relinquish what be calls
his pleasure, or give up the idea of acquiring
knowledge while the wife must neglect many
of the trifes which she deems almost indis-
pensable. To keep her mind fresh and grow
ing she must give it daily food. If she hasn't
time to do this. and to keep her house "spic.
andspan," she must choose whether she will
have her mind hung with cobwebs or her
house whether or not she will forego the
company of gossipping neighbors for the COM
panionship of such authors as will lift her
continually higher; whether she will load her
table with dainties expensive in both time and
money, or sit at intellectual symposiums and
feast with philosophers and poets whether
she will adorn her person with elaborately
made clothing, or her mind with imperishable
treasures of thought and acquisition. But
one or the other she must relinquish.

THE FLIGHT OF B1RDs.-The speed of
birds offers great variety. When the flight
does not exceed thirty miles an hour they
are considered slow flyers. The speed of the
swallow is computed at ninety miles, the
hawk one hundred and fifty miles, while
that of the swift is said to attain the astound-
ing velocity of one hundred and eighty miles
an hour The endurance displayed by birds
upon the wing is wonderful, and many in
stances are recorded which almost exceed
belief In the time of Henry ", of France
there was falcon which became famous in
Europe by flying from Foutainebleau to NAL
ia, one thousand three hundred and fifty
miles in twenty.four hours. But without
going so far back we may on a summers
afternoon watch flock of swallows for an
hour without detecting an interval of rest
Their skimming, busy, rapid wings never
seem to tire. What strength of flight, too,
must be required in those annual migrations
which bring the winter water fowls across the
North Sea to England from Scandinavia, and
the summer visitors, the nightingales and
swallows, from southern Europe or Africa,
even. Long feats Of flight are performed by
some others, such as the frigate or man ofwar
bird, which is sometimes found hunting for
food in the Atlantic more than a thousand
miles from shore. Yet it never seems to tire
or to seek rest, either on the surface Of the
sea or in the rigging of ship, and it is not
known to visit the land except at the return
of the breeding season.

ADVICE TO THOSE USING GLASSES.

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 copy
ing work in writing makes greater demand
upon the organ of vision than ofhald com.
position Twilight and a 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 employed when
protection for the eye from the intense glare
is sought, as in the case of travelling upon the
snow-felds in bright sunshine. The green
glass that is often adopted for this purpose is
not, by any means, so worthy Of con 6dence.
Reading in railway travelling is Questionable
in the highest degree, for very obvious rea-
son. The oscillation of the carriage contin.
ually alters the distance of the page from the
eye, and so calls for unceasing strain in the
effort to keep the organ in due accoramoda-
tion for the ever varying distance of the dam
cling image. The exact fitting of the frame
work of spectacles to the face and eyes is of
more Importance than is generally conceived.
If the centres Of the lenses of the spectacles
do not accurately coincide with the centres of
the pupils of the eyes, the consequences is that
the images in the separate eyes are little dis.
placed from the positions which they oughtto
hold, and that a somewhat painful and inju.
rious effort has to be made by the eye to
bring those images back into due correspon-
dence for accurate vision. An incipient
squint is apt to be in this way produced, Mr..
Carter recommends that people should look
to the centreing Of their spectacles for them
selves. This may be easily done by standing
before looking. glass with the spectacles in
their place. If, the fit is good one, the cen.
ire Of the pupil should then appear in the
centre of the rim. Fully formed spectacles
are always to be preferred to folding frames,
because they permit Of more satisfactory ad-
justment in this particular, and because they
are more easily kept in the 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 greater hardness.

THE New York Herald has been in
vestigating the Mississippi river i'm.
prOvement scheme, and as result says;
1.-The Mississippi river improvement
scheme, for which Congress at its last
session appropriated several million dol
lars, promises to develop into first
class job. According to our correspOu-
dence more money was expended for
'fueP on one of the sections than for
labor This is probably all right; but
it will strike the average reader as lit
tie curious that labor should be so low
and fuel so high in that particular
latitude. The Cairo correspond
ence of the Herald throws some
further financial light on this interesting
question. Ii appears that the commit
tee OF Congress which is charged with
an investigation of the expenditures has
been so impressed with the magnitude
and Importance Of its commission it has
felt 1t necessary to charter one of the
largest boats on the river. The MisSis-
suppl Is one of the biggest things of the
kind in the world. The appropriations
for its improvements are among the
largest ever made in the whole
history of our internal improve
mtnts. Under the circumstances
it is Of course natural that the Congress
committee having supervision of the
the work should travel on the broadcast
gauge of Governmental expenditure.
We must not be surprised, therefore,
that they have chartered the biggest
boat they could find and taken with
them on their tour Of inspection their
sisters, their cousins and their aunts.
The Mississippi Is great river and the
country is rich. What is the use of a
big river and big appropriation if Con-
gressmen, Government engineers and
contractors cannot make something out
of themv
