WONDERS OF The HEAVENS.
How They May be EMBODIED by the
Greater Telescopes.

ROW Iney may ne enioided Dy the
Greater Telescopes.
All the discoveries of ancient astIon-
omers were, of course, effected without
the aid of glasses, and Pliny, in his ninth
book of the Almagest, quotes fourteen
observations of Mercury, dating 200 or
300 years before our era, and still to be
relied on. They had, no doubt, good
eyes in those days, when everybody ex-
cept the astrologers went to bed with
the sun, and rose as soon as he appeared.
In the tail of Ursa Major the middle star
has near it small companion styled on
the celestial chart Alcor. The Arab OBJ
servers knew this by the name of Saidak,
which means touchstone or trial. for if a
man coul perceive that tiny point with
the unassisted eye he could easily see
the small stars of the Pleiades and the
satellites Of Jupiter.
We must, however, also remember the
purity and transparency of the eastern
sky, especially in dry, desert regions,
where all the heavenly orbs shine with
brilliancy quite unknown to western as
tronomers. Copernicus, it is related,
Iamented in the hour of his death that
he had never so much as seen the planet
Mercury, which the happier Greek OBJ
servers called Stilbon, the spendid shin
ing; and one of the most promising
points in connection with this great new
telescope in America is that it viii be
perched upon mountain peak, far
above the dustssand mists of the lower
world-lifted into the stainlessly
dark blue atmosphere which Pro-
fessor Tyndall has celebrated upon his
high Alps. Accordingly, when we call
to mind the considerable additions made
to the heavenly science by such COM
paratively inferior instruments as those
of Lord Rose, Mr.. Lasen and the elder
Herschel, we may be full of hope that
the California astronomers will astonish
and delight the Old World with new dis
coveries, @when some new planet swims

Fascinating SIGHTS of Childhood.

As we pass away from the period of
childhood, most of its wonderful sights
lose their fascination. One of these is

shape. used to think it strange that
people who were rich enough should not
have one always pacing about their own

Another of these spectacles of child

the locomotive at full speed. Momen-
tum is but a word in book, except
when l stand as near as l dare to the
Gathering rails, and take the fearful Joy
of seeing, hearing, feeling, touching, SO

A different and calmer pleasure is to
watch the train from half miles dis
lance across the fields-how slick is its
slipping along, without haste, without
rest, as if independently of any pro-
pelling force; for it is the train that APP

driving-wheels the train. 1t is not mo-

and immutable as to other things the

A Dining-Hoom ON the Roof.

The roofs of New York are very inter
esting. Much that would never be sus-
pected by a stranger in the streets goes
on upon these aerial platforms above the
heads of the masses. From the Brook
Iyn bridge 1 have seen that topmost
stratum of the city fairly alive with peo-
pie on a fine autumn evening. On one
roof were to be seen some shop girls
wRltzing to the music of a concertina in
the hands of young man seated on the
raised wall-top between that house and
the next. On another was merry party
of children filling the upper air with the
melody of their singing. Over yonder
were two lovers, hand in hand, talking
earnestly; and so in one place after an
other were to be seen persons wiser than
their fellows, seeking the quiet and com
paratively pure air above the uproar and
stagnant atmosphere of the lower stories
and the streets.
a year or two ago, being invited to
dine with some Cubans 1 had met IL
their own land, went to their address
in the neighborhood of the Central park,
and was shown up by the servant
where do you suppose? To the roof.
The Cubans understand the science of
taking every advantage of the open air.

TEA DRINKERS, DISEASES.
Disorders Well Known to the Doctors
Predominance of Nervous SYMPTOMS.

Disorders Well Known to the Doctors
PredOminance of Nervous Symptoms.
It is not a little curious that the dis
eases arising from the wrong use of tea
should be met with i'll greater frequency
in countries foreign to its growth. 1t
might have been supposed that where
production went on, there would be
found those evils that attend the con-
sumption of tea in their greatest extent;
but such does not appear to be the case.
The diseases due to tea are well known
to DOCTORS but the public seem to be
strangely Indifferent to the teachings of
their medical advisers in these matters.
Recently, in France, NJ. Eloy has re-
minded medical men how vast is the
number of diseases owing an allegiance
to the dominion of Queen Tea. The list
of headings in NJ. Eloy's paper is well
calculated to arouse attention, and, we
hope, to lead to some abatement of
this widespread disorder. America and
England are the two countries that are
afflicted most with the malady arising
from the excessive consumption of tea.
individuals may suffer in a variety of
ways. 1t is customary to speak of acute,
subacute and chronic "theism"-a form
that has no connection with theological
matters. 1t is possible to be a "theic"
by profession or a "theic" by passion.
The predominance of nervous symp-
toms rs characteristic of theism; gen
eral excitation of the functions of the
nervous system may be observed; or the
weakness may be noted more especially
in the brain as distinguished from the
spinal cord. Perversion of the sense of
hearing is not at all an uncommon symp-
tom-patients hearing voices that have
no real or objective existence. The irri-
liability that OveTtakes women SO fire.
quently may sometimes be clearly traced
to an excessive indulgence in afternoon
tea. 1t is a mistake to suppose that it is
the poor seanstress who is the chief suf-
ferer from theism. No doubt the tannin
which tea that has been standing long
contains does great amount of mischief,
but the arrangement that it causes hardly
belongs to that class of diseases with
which we are at present concerned.
Rather does theism belong to that genus
of disease in which morphinism, caffeism,
and vanillism are found.
The habit of tea drinking is one that
grows on its victims like the similar ones
of opium or alcohol. Taken in strict
and with due precautions in
the mode of preparation, tea is, like alco-
hol, a valuable stimulant; in its abuse |
there is also a certain analogy. There is
hardly a morbid symptom which may !
not be traceable to tea as its cause This |
is fact that general practitioners often |
use to their own satisfaction and to their |
patients advantage, if ii happen to be
that kind of patient who does not object !
to make some sacrifice in order to be rid |
of troubles.-Lancet.
