BAD READING MATrER.-To teachers we
would say You can do something toward
averting the evil by making use of every
opportunity for creating taste for pure
and healthful literature. If the opportunity
does n9; offer itself, make it, A. far as pos
sible know what every one of Your pupils
reads. Frequently you will find it neces-
sary to convince the parents that their chill
dren are receiving injury from the papers
they permit them to read. Unlettered faith
ers and mothers cannot realize the danger
which threatens their offspring from read
ing papers which they say were purchased
at Il reputable bookstore. Point out the
danger and substitute something better if
possible. Be sure you fully appreciate the
importance of the question, and your sense
of right and duty will readily suggest ways
and means to do all that lies Within Your
power Pacific School Journal.

THE Pulse OF SMoKERs.-From expert
ments made upon the pulse and tcmpera-
ture as affected by smoking, it has been
found that the rate of both is increased.
Let the average temperature OF non-smok-
ers be represented by 1000, then that of
moderate smokers would bc 1O0S; and
while tie heart of the former class was
making 1910 beats, in the latter there

This quickening of the action of the heart

How GLASS BEADS ARE MADE.-Glass
beads are made by drawing the glass into
small tubes, and breaking the tubes into
suitable lengths for forming the beads
The material is then placed upon a flat
plate like Il frying pan, which is heated
Just hot enough to allow the glass to draw
the sharp edges into Il round: at the same
time the plate or pan is gently vibrated. so
as to prevent cohesion of the softened
beads, \ cylinder is also used, something
like coffee rooster on Il small scale. The
cylinder can be made of cast iron quite
thin. Faceted beads are made by pressing
the glass in small molds that have sharp
edges and Il punch, So that the eye is
punched and the bead faceted at one opera
lion, using small rods of glass heated in a
mutlie furnace The manufacture is mostly
confined to Birmingham, in England, and
enice.-[Scientific Press.

surface can be produced either fiat or with
designs in very slight relief The colorine
is homogeneous throughout. As will be
seen from the above description, the wood
carpet is in some respects not unlike our

ever much lower, while durability is also
claimed for the new material London
