EVENTS AND EPOCHs IN RELIGIOUS Hl ;sI'1l.6i
Being the substance OF course 81 Lyc'nIes ESyS's

CLABKE. Small svo, PIP. 402 Boston; James L.

The lectures which Dr. Clarke presents to larger
audience in this stout volume are well worth pre-
serving. They consist essentially OF series OF
sketches in which the critical periods OF
religious history are illustrated by inc
hives and labors OF representative thinkers
and actors There was little danger that the
Iberal-n,indcd author of the Ten Great Rehg-
ions" wonld treat such a subject in any narrow
.sectarian wav But the apprehension would not be
unnatural that his cXUberant charity ana
sympathy might invest his select heroes with "a
dance which did not actually shine out OF their
lives. But Dr. Clark has been sgnally successful
i'm his charactcuzatons. With an instinct
which seems to bc unerring he has
hit upon the central and controlling
principles in the history of men and movements
within and without the Christian Church. Inc
bearing Of these individual lives and succesAv'y
emerging convictions and doctrines upon the deveI-
onment of religious belief and feeling and activity
gives unity to the whole and his choice of epocbs
and events has been as happy as his treatment OF
them.
The npening chapters reveal the child-lbo and
cheerful temper Of early Christianity, even
when cropping in the gloom of the Cat
acombs Then follows a sketch of monachlSm
among the Buddhists Of Central ASa-the agnoStics
of their dav. and precursors OF The Christian monks

MONDAY Jan. 2-P. "
The year Of 1881 will be notable in all financial
annals because of the success Of most remark
able scheme. At the beginning of the year
the United States had maturing July l
5000 600 600 g per cent bonds and payable after
Nav 1 S47O,000O0O per cent bonds. About
$50. 100000 in these bonds was redeemed by pur-
chase and otherwise before July J. But out o. the
totals $1G1 S76,5O0 of the 6s and SiOl, oOlooo OF
tho 5s were extended voluntarily by the holders at
the invitation OF Secretary Window, at 30 per
cent, payable at the Governments option Never
before did anv Government hold SO large pro-
portion of its debt in supreme control, ana aI
So low rate of interest In the early part of the
year speculation III securities Of all kinds ran ram
pant. Later the speculation turned TO the products

speculation IN the later decrease in the crops served

who drove the guests to and from the fes-
tivities. On the velvet lawn just outside
the Cabral mansion, dozen or more ex-
quisite Sevres vases were set-correspond-
ing in size and shape to an American peach
basket-each one of which was heaped to
the brim with the gold coin of the country.
The drivers as they dropped their loads had
their attention called to the currency in the
vases, and were cordially invited to help
themselves alb libitun.. As often as the
vases were emptied they were promptly re-
plenished by servants detailed for that sole
purpose. One of the hackmen responded
SO heartily to the invitation that when the
time came for him to drive back to town
he was forced to request his two passengers
to favor him by taking seat on the box.
He explained, not without bushes and
stammering, that the inside of his coach
was occupied by the gold pieces he had ac-
cumulated during the evening, and that ne
would not have taken SO many had it not
been for the thought of sick wife at home.
Having listened to him, his load, before
mounting the box, returned to the house
and related the incident to Cabral, who was
so touched at the mention of the sick wife
that, on sudden impulse, he proposed a
subscription for her benefit. The response
was general, and in short time the snug
sum of $4,000 was raised among the
guests, to which Cabral added his own check
for 10000 more, saying that he did not
wish any heart to be sad on that joyful oc-
casion. When the $4,000 were handed
to the hackman, "a cordial for your ailing
wife, my man." as Cabral put it he burst
into tears, declaring that there never was
such man in the world as De Souza Ca
bral. And he was right.-Diamentsnd,

For Those Who Wear spectacles.

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 demand upon the organ OF vision
than off hand composition. Twilight and
mixture of twilig int and artificial illumi-
nation should be avoided for any kind Of
work. The pale cobaltblue tint is the
best that can be employed when protec-
ton for the eye from intense glare is
sought, as in the case of travelling upon
snow fields in bright sunshine. The green
glass that is often adopted for this purpose
is not by any means SO worthy OF conf
dence.
Reading in railway travelling is objec-
tionable in the highest degree for very
obvious reason. The oscillation of the car
riage continually alters the distance of the
page from the eye, and SO calls for unceas-
ing strain in the effort to keep the organ
in due accommodation for the ever 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 cen
tres of the lenses of the spectacles do not
accurately coincide with the centres 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 somewhat painful
and injurious effort has to be made by the
eye to bring those images back into due
correspondence for accurate vision. An
incipient squint is apt to be in this way
produced. Mr.. Carter recommends that
people should look to the centering of their
spectacles for themselves This may easily
be done by standing before looking-glass
with the spectacles in their place. If the
fit is good one the centre 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 adjust
ment in this particular, and because they
are more easily kept in the right position
with regard to the eyes. The only advan-
tage which the pebble enjoys over glass for
the construction of spectacles is the iInmu-
nifty which it possesses against scratching
| and fracture on account Of its greater harG-
ness. Edinburgh RevssaO.

NEW PROCESS FOR WASHING LINEN
In Germany and Belgium substitute has
lately been introduced for soda in the laun-
dry, which, while it has all the detersive
qualities of soda, does no injury to the
linen. Two pounds of soap are dissolved
in about five gallons Of water as hot as the
hand can bear. To this are added one tea
spoonful of oil of turpentine and three of
liquid of ammonia This mixture is then
well stirred, and in it the clothes are steep
ed for three hours, the washtub being COW
cred up as carefully as possible. Next the
clothes are washed, rinsed and blued as usu-
al. The mixture will serve second time,
only it must be reheated and one-half spoon
full of oil of turpentine and one and one-half
of ammonia added to it. The process econ
omizes time, labor and fuel. The clothes
are not injured because the ammonia evap-
crates very quickly; and as for the smell Of
the turpentine, that disappears in the dry
ing

Advice to Young Writers.

William Cullen Bryant once gave the
following sensible advice to young man
who had offered him articles for his paper:
"My young friend, I observe that you
have used several French expressions in
your letter I think, if you will study the
English language, that you will find it ca
pable of expressing all the ideas that you
may have. I have always found it SO, and
in all that I have written, l do not recall
an instance where was tempted to use a
foreign word, but that, on searching, [ have
found a better one in my own language.
Be simple, unaffected; be honest in your
speaking and writing. Never use long
word when short one will do as well. Call
a spade by its name, not a well-known OBJ
long instrument of manual labor; let home
be home, and not residence; place not
a locality, and so on of the rest. When a
short word will do you will always lose by
a long one You lose in clearness; you lose
in honest expression, and in the estimation
of all men who are capable of judging, you
lose in reputation for ability. The only
true way to shine, even in this false world,
is to be modest and unassuming. False
hood may be thick crust, but in the course
of time, truth will find place to break
through. Elegance of language may not
be in the power of us all, but simplicity
and straightforwardness are. Write as
much as you would speak, and as you think.
If with your inferior, speak no coarser than
usual; if with your superior, speak no finer.
Be what you say and within the rules Of
prudence. No one ever was gamer by
singularity of words or in pronunciation.
The truly wise man will SO speak that no
one will observe how he speaks. A man
may show great knowledge Of chemistry by
carrying bladders of strange gases to breathe;
but one will enjoy better health, and find
more time for business who lives on COM
mon air.
Sidney Smith once remarked :-'s'After
you have written an article, take your pen
and strike out half the words, and you will
be surprised to see how much stronger it is. !"

Geological examination of the delta Of
the Mississippi now shows that for dis
tance of about 800 miles there are buried
forests of large trees, one over the other,
with interspaces of sand. Ten distinct
forest growths of this description have been
observed, which it is belived must have sue
ceeded each other. Of these trees, known
as the bald cypress, some have been found
over twenty-five feet in diameter, and one
contained $500 rings; in some instances,
too, huge trees have grown over the stumps
of others equally large. From these facts,
geologists have assumed the antiquity Of
each forest growth at 10, 900 years, or 100,-
600 for all.

VALUE OF TILE.-There is a savings
bank for the surplus dollars of farmers that
will give better interest than 3 per cent.
1t is investment in drain tile. The West
ern people are finding it out, and the yield
of wheat in the Ohio Valley is increasing
in consequence. Agriculturists who have
tried it say that they can plant their corn
earlier; it is not so liable to rot in the hill;
drouth does much less injury; the crop is
so far advanced before chinch bugs and
other insects appear that it resists their
destructive ravages. The yield is twenty,
forty, sometimes sixty per cent. greater.
Secretary W. L. Chamberlain, of the Ohio
Board, says he has seen land improved by
