have highly smooth surface without CLOS
siness and indeed the finest plate paper is
of this description. But the shiny paper is
altogether unsuited to Typography it takes
ink with comparative difficulty, and in
course becomes spotted and stained scarcely
less than the commonest productions Of the
American paper mill. Even when tinted,
time pages are painful reading. But when,
in addition to being glossy, the paper is so
glaringly white, the effect is binding.
Happily, in the finer class Of publications,
snow-White paper is now almost discarded.
Tinted paper is used of various pleasing
shades-a natural preference being shown
for creams and faint yellow; while in edi-
tiOns de hLre deeper tint is often selected,
with admirable results. The finest speci-
men of paper chosen for an art publication
in recent times is certainly that used for the
Cent Uefs-d0uwe, the magnificent work
just issued in Paris. The exquisite engrav-
ings gain by the tinted background. 1t is
impossible to use such paper in the manu-
facture of popular books; but it isneverthe-
less self-evident that glossy paper can be
eschewed altogether, and that tinted fab
ric can be substituted for that glaring white
which has no doubt largely aided in produc-
Ing the ophthalmia which school children
are especially liable to.
- Adult persons are less liable to have their
Sight injured by bad paper and bad type
than children a; but they have much to COM
plain of in this country. The Appletons
and the Lippincotts, who issue such num-
ber of indispensable medical and scientific
prints, almost uniformly use glossy paper.
The treaties on anatomy, physiology and
pathology, which are placed in the hands of
every medical student, are printed thus;
and the result greatly increases the Difficult
ties of study. Even the pages of the Inter-
national Scientific Series flash like quicksil-
ver It is a relief to turn to the London
prints of Churchill, or Macmillan, after
giancing at the American limitations the
pages seem cold, clear and comforting.
Again, many American classical texts, ex-
cellent as the Typography may be, render
study exceedingly trying to the sight, by
the cleaning surface of the pages. This
subject has not received all the attention it
deserves, especially on the part of educa-
tiOnal authorities,

DETERIORATION OF SIGHT.

The Science Monthly says: The causes to
which this deterioration of eyesight has
been attributed are alleged to be cross-lights
from opposite windows light shining direct
ly on the face, insufficientlight, small types,
and to the position of the desk, forcing the
scholar to bend over and bring the eyes too
close to the book or writing paper, etc., etc.
But were all these defects remedied, the
integrity of the eye would not be restored
nor its deterioration prevented. These were
the colors of the'paper and ink. White pa
per and black ink are running the eyesight
of all reading nations. The rays of the
sum-" says Lord Bacon, "are reflected by a
white body, and are absorbed by black
one." No one dissents from this opinion; !;
but, despite these indications of nature and
of philosophy, we print our books and write
our letters in direct opposition to the sug-
gestiOns of optical science.
When we read book printed in the ex-
isting mode we do not see the letters, which
being black, are non-refective. The shapes
reach the retina, but they are not received
by spontaneous, direct action of that organ.
The white surface of the paper is reflected,
but the letters are detected only by dis
criminative effort of the optic nerves. This
effect annOyS the nerves, and when long
continued, eXhausts their susceptibility, the
human eye cannot long sustain the broad
glare of q white surface without injury.
The author Of Spanish Vistas," in Har-
per's Ifdgdzine, says of Cartegena that "bllnd
people seem to be numerous there, fact
which may be owing to the excessive dazzle
of the sunlight and the absence of verdure."
Mr.. Seward, in his tour around the world,
says "in Egypt ophthalmia is universal" at
tributing it to the same excessive dazzle"
of the wide areas Of white sand; and the
British soldiers in the late campaign in that
country exhibited symptoms of the same
disease. In the Smithsonian report of 1877,
it is stated in a paper on "Color Blindness"
that "M. Chevreul has produced IA, ,42O dis
tinguishable tints of the elementary colors,
from which the paper manufacturers could
select cOlOrs more agreeable to the eye than
the dazzling white so weakening and lace
rating to the nerves of that delicate organ"
In pursuance of this same subject, we find
the following sensible observations in the
editorial columns of the Columbia Register,
under the heading of "Shiny Prints:"
A society has been founded in New York
for the purpose of encouraging and eleVating
the art of book production. Such an organ
ization may do much toward the abolish
ment of certain notorious vices peculiar to
American second-class publishing, and can
not fail to exercise most beneficial inf1u-
ence upon American Typography in general.
The announcement leads us to comment
upon few peculiarly irritating facts con-
nected with American publishing enter
prises.
One of these-and the wOrSt-iS the use,
in book manufacture, of paper with highly
glossy surface. Such prints are excessively
Injurious to the eye, and in weak-sighted

The ANvIL.-Ordinary anvils are forged
in six or seven pieces and then put together
Cast anvils are hardened in float instead
of being dipped, and larger sized ones are
swung into tank by means of crane.
These latter are also frequently cast about
a core, which permits them to cool more
uniformly. Gold beaters use for an anvil
a steel block having a surface about three
by four inches in extent. Upon this the
gold is reduced to a plate one-sixteenth of
an inch in thickness and afterWard beaten
out on an anvil of black marble. The forms
and uses of the anvil are constantly extend
ing in variety and, from the liliputan one
of the matchmaker to the great ones used
in forging heavy cannon, they are daily
growing more busy throughout the world.
Many of the common blacksmiths anvils
are provided with a second horn socketed
upon the break and having grooves upon
its upper surface into which horse shoes are
driven for the purpose of bevelling the in
ner surface, so as to prevent "balling" when
travelling in snow. The various special
forms of the anvil are exceedinly numer-
Gus. The progress of machines and the in
PRODUCTION of steam hammers have brought
into use in late years enormous anvils
weighing, in many cases, several hundred
tons.

THE BOTToM SLIDING DowN.-The Mis-
sissippi is said to be subject to anew danger.
Its bottom is said to be moving toward the
Gulf of Mexico. Of course not the bottom
for the entire length, but the ooze and mud
for many hundreds of miles issliding down,
as it were, and making the river shallower
at it's outlets. Should this continue, and
man he unable to control it, the river would
in time be confined, as banks would be form
ed at it's mouth. This would make great
lake out of portions of Louisiana and Texas.
Of course new outlets would be formed, but
in the meantime vast changes would occur
in the Mississippi valley. Greatcities would
be submerged. Lakes larger than Superior
or Ontario would cover regions now occu-
pied by farms and towns. Still this need
not concern the present generation. 1t will
take many hundreds, if not thousands Of
years to effect these alterations, and then,
perhaps, mechanical science and human re-
sources may be so developed as to enable
man to overcome, or at least modify, the
slow operations of nature.-Demoresf

b9- Lieut.. Greedy, whose rescue is the OBJ
ject of the Arctic expedition, the first vessel
of which sailed last week, is another victim,
it is feared, like DeLong, to the adventurous
spirit that urges our heroes to break the
barriers of the frozen North. In 1881 new
scheme Of Arctic exploration was formed
by several nations, which provided that
several simultaneous expeditions should be
started. Lieutenant A. w. Greedy was ap-
pointed to command an American expedi-
tion, twenty-four in number, which sailed
from St. Johns, N. B., in August, 1881.
They reached their destination in safety and
the P'oteus, in which they sailed, returned
all right The officer in command reported
that the colony had been provided with a
house, boats and provisions enough to last
for two years. They were contiguous to a
bed of superior coal and were thus assured
of an ample supply of fuel. The agreement
was that relief party should be sent to
them the following year with fresh stores
and to take away the sick of the party. II
this relief expedition should fail to reach
them, the understanding was that another
expedition should start in 1888 to bring
them away altogether. Should this eXpe-
dition also FAIL the colonists were to abandon
the station not later than September l, 1883,
and make their way to Littleton Island,
where supplies should be left for them in
case they were not previously picked up.
Everything was done as promised, but
failure attended the efforts to reach the col
onists. Owing to the heavy ice the first
expedition was unable to come anywhere
near the Greedy party: 1t therefore left
provisions at Cape Sabine, about 25O miles
south of Discovery Harbor, and then re-
turned home. The second expedition was
even more disastrous, and resulted in the
wreck of the PyOfeltS.

HIS MOTHERS SONGS.
Beneath the hot midsummer sun
The men had marched all day;
And now besides ripping stream
Upon the grass they lay.
firing of games and idle jests,
AS swept the hours along,
= They called to one who unused apart,
"Come, friend. give us a song
"I fear cannot please" he said;
"The only songs l know
Are those my mother used to sing
For me long years ago.
"Sing one of those,'' rough voice cried,
sThere's none but true men here:
To every mothers son of us
A mothers songs are dear
Then sweetly rose the singers voice
Amid unwonted calm,
cam soldier of the cross,
A follower of the Lamb?"
"And shall fear to own his cause
The very stream was stilled,
And hearts that never throbbed with fear
With tender thoughts were filled.
Ended the song, the singer said,
AS to his feet he rose,
"Thanks to you all, my friends; goodnight,
God grant us sweet repose.'
Sing us one MORE" the captain begged;
The soldier bent his head.
Then glancing round, with smiling lips,
"You'd join with me-" he said.
"We'll sing this old familiar air,
Sweet as the bugle call.
"All hail the power of Jesus name,
Let angels PROSTATE fall"
All wondrous was the old tunes spell
AS on the singer sang;
Man after man fell into line,
And loud the voices rang.
The songs are done, the camp is still,
Naught but the stream is heard;
But all the depths Of every soul
BY those old hymns are stirred.
And up from many a bearded lip,
In whispers soft and low,
Rises the prayer the mother taught
The boy long years ago.

WHEN SUGAR WAS INVENTED.-The
exact date of the invention of sugar is lost
in the midst of fable. However, sugar is
said to have been known to the Chinese
three thousand years ago, and there is not
much doubt but that the manufacture of the
article was carried on under the Tsin dynas-
ty two hundred years before Christ: A
strong claim for priority has been made for
India. Probably the Hindoos learned the
art from the Chinese, and from China the
knowledge was carried farther west. Three
hundred and twenty-five years before Christ,
Alexander sent Nearchus with large fleet
down the Indus to explore the adjacent
countries. When that officer returned from
his expedition he brought to Greece an ac-
count of honey (sugar) which the Asiatics
made from cane, without any assistance
from bees. This was the earliest idea the
western nations had Of sugar, the Jews,
Egyptians, Babylonians and Greeks, know
ing nothing of its use. AS late as A. u.
$50 sugar was prescribed by Galen, the IA
nous physician, as medicine. Before the
discovery of America sugar was costly
luxury, used only on rare occasions. Dur
ing the wars Of the roses, about 1855, Mar
garet Pastor, wife Of a very wealthy coun-
try gentleman of Norfolk, wrote to her hus-
band begging that he would "vouchsafe" to
send her pound of sugar. AS late as 100
all England consumed only twenty million
pounds in the course of the year, but since
the consumption has greatly increased,
twenty million hundredWeight now being
used by the English people. The process of
refining sugar was not known in England
previous to 1859. That was probably an in
7vention of the Arabs. A Venetian mer
chant learned the secret from the Saracens
of Scicily, and sold the art for one hundred
thousand crowns.

CHIMNEYs.-In the year 1900, chimneys
were scarcely known in England. One on
ly was allowed in religious house, one in
manor house, and one in the great hall of a
castle or lords house ; but, in other houses,
the smoke found its way out as it could.
The writer's of the fourteenth century seem
to have considered them as the newest in
vention of luxury. In Henry VII's reign,
the University Of Oxford had no fire allow
ed for it is mentioned that, after the STU
dents had supped, having no fire in winter,
they were obliged to take a good run for
half an hour to get heat in their feet before
they retired for the night. Holinshed, in
the reign of Elizabeth, describes the rude
ness of the preceding generation in the arts
of life. "There were," says he, livery few
chimneys even in the capital towns, the
fire was laid to the wall, and the smoke is
sued out at the door, roof or window. The
houses were wattled and plastered over
with clay, and all the furniture and utensils
were wood" In 1889, tax of two shillings
was laid on chimneys.

INsoMNIA.-Dr. F. L. Oswald says in the
Popular Science Monthly: The proximate
cause of sleeplessness is plethora of the cere-
bral blood-vessels, and palliative cure can
be effected by anything that lessons the ten
dency of the circulation toward the head.
But a permanent cure may require time and
patience. BY night-studies brain.workers
sometimes contract chronic insomnia in that
worst form which finds relief only in the
stupor of low fever, alternating with con-
secutive days of nervous headaches. Re
forming topers often have to pass through
the same ordeal, before the deranged ner-
vous system can be restored to its normal
condition. Fresh air, especially of low
temperature, pedestri AN exercise, and an
aperient diet, are the best natural remedies.
Under no circumstances should sleepless-
ness be overcome by narcotics. An opium
torpor cannot fulfill the functions of refresh
ing sleep; we might as we'll benumb the pa
tient by Whack on the skull.

market has the same answer as that
ancient conundrum about the snakes

occasional cargo is disposed of, but
dealers take care that very little
comes on the market, as the wants
of the trade are we'll supplied, and
anything offered on the market
would need to be sold very low.
There are no contracts in the market
and no signs of any, and there is
therefore no test of the market for

ONE argument against new Water
Works takes this shape:
"What will you consent 10 mortgage
your property for the payment Of II
debt of 5000 ?"
Let us see how good this holds.
The taxable basis Of the Corpora
ton is over one million dollars-low
at that. Taking $50, 900 as the ex-
tent Of the mortgage, the question is
will the million dollars of property
stand such an encumbrance
In other words, is man who owns
100000 able to stand Il mortgage Of
$4,000? Or one worth $4,000 able to
stand one of $3.50? or one worth
$1,000 able to stand one Of $50 or
one worth 800 able to stand one of
$3.50?
If not, then the more a man has
the worse off he is.
But the mortgage, gentlemen, IS
the best protection your property can
have. Better than policy of insur-
ance, it provides you with means
beforehand to save it in case of fire,
and, still better, it aciH pay its oacn
premiums!
If all the other mortgages held in
this town were payable as this one
will be, the people would not only
have plenty of water, but they would
revel in more fat living than they
now enjoy.
