HINTS ON HEALTH.

Az soon as you are up shake blankets and
sheet;
Better be without shoes than sit with wse
feet;
Children, if healthy, are active not still;
Damp beds and damp clothes will both make
you Ill;
Freshen the air in the house where you dwell;
Garments must never be made TO be tight;
Homes will be healthy if airy and light;
II you wish to be well, as you do, I've no
doubt,
Keep your rooms always tidy and clean,
Let dust On the furniture never be seen;
Much illness is caused by the want Of pure
air,
Now to open your windows b ever your
care
Old rags and old rubbish should never b
kept;
People should see that their floors are well
swept;
Quick movements in children are healthy and
right;
Remember the young can not thrive without
light
See that the cistern is clean to the brim;
Take care that your dress is all tidy and trim;
Use your nose to find out if there be bad
drain;
Very sad are the fevers that come in its train.
Walk as much as You can without feeling
fatigue:
Xerxes could walk full many league.
Your health is your wealth, which your wis
dom must keep:
Zeal will help good cause, and the good you
will reap.

How Old Daniel Drew Played . Financial
Game on the Boys.
The blunder of q messenger boy in the
stock exchange a day or two ago, by which
an order intended for one broker was given
to another and the operations of prominent
Spectator exposed, recalls a story that Wall
street men love to tell of dead-and gone Uncle
Daniel Drew Mr.. Drew was squeezed one
famous day by operators in Northwest stock,
and he laid down a big pile Of money in losses.
Not unnaturaily Mr.. Drew felt grieved, while
other people were correspondingly high
spirited and happy. 1t was n great thing to
catch the willy deacon mapping, and hundred
Jokes went the rounds in celebration of his
upsetting.
Some of these bits Of humor fell upon Uncle
Daniels own ears, but he didn't seem to pay
much heed to comments that made all the
rest OF Wall street laugh hilariously. Some
young men old enough to know better even
went SO far as to accost him personally and
laugh in his face. Behind the smile that
lighted his face it is barely possible that the
recording angel heard a grittin2 Of teeth, but
the festive brokers did not hear any such
thing, and they went ON their way rejoicing
for many days One evening big congre-
when all unexpected in marched Uncle Dan
lei Drew. He called only for n moment; he
was hunting for man whom he did not find
II was not an excessively warm night, but

Mr. Drew didn't notice that he had lost

it all. and then and there they made up a

THE ART OF BOOK-MAKING.

Some of the Odd and Vulgar Fashions
Which Have Crept in.
Within the las. few years many publishers
have been tempted to issue holiday and other
volumes bound in new and unique materials.
Some Of these experiments have been pleasing
to the eye and appropriate to the contents Of
the book, but many, very many, more have
been in the worst Of taste. Prepared leather,
which in former years was only used in the
manufacture of sachels and trunks, has been
laid under contribution by the book binder,
and the result is shown in a hideous array Of
alligator" and tiger skin" volumes, offensive
to every sense. 1t was proper enough to
make wallets, pocket-books, scrips, and even
memorandum books of alligator skin, and .
book of southern travel might lock appropr
ate in the same binding, but to find art books,
fiction, poetry, and everything else bound in
Discriminatory in it is an evidence of degen-
crate taste.
More daring vulgarities than this have been
perpetrated, as any book store will give evil
dence. One line Of poets has been bound in
"ti2er skin" a horrible, mottled leather with
some material inserted between 1t and the
boards so as to form a soft, squashy cushion.
The bullying appearance of these books is
have disappeared by next winter In search
ing for variety of colors in which to bind
the coinmoner cloth volumes the Ayers have
struck upon a number of neutral tints which,
however pretty, are not durable, fading often
while in the shop window. The art of binding
books has well nigh become a lost one. Few
Of the books now being made will be found in
so perfect condition 400 years from now as
are the 'fifteeners" we row see. The books
in the libraries of Chicago which were printed
and bound in the fifteenth and sixteen centu-
ries compare favorably with the best produc-
tons of to-day. Not only as regards binding
are they superior, but In the printing also
Few books are perfectly made in one day.
How many of the average sized books Of
to-day can you open fat upon table and
read without holding as you can those made
in the past. Very few indeed. The l2mo |
books of today, if opened suddenly in the |
middle, will be irretrievably spoiled. Tho |
cheapening Of labor and the introduction Of
machinery is responsible for this The use Of |
the wire binding is proper for magazines and |
but should not be tolerated in |
bound volumes that are intended to last any |
time The sharp wire cuts the paper and be-
fore you have half finished your book the |
pages are as loose as pack Of playing cards. |
In London and LeIpsic, the great book marts,
much taste is displayed in printing and bind |
ing Often the material, texture, color, |
marks and symbols Of the cover will be sug-
gestive of the contents. In point of typogra-
ply but few firms in this country can COM
pare with the English and German book
makers. Chicago News Rambler

Description of . Fijian Pantomime-
Three Cheers for the Enslishr'
We had been invited to see a cricket-match
played between Fijians trained by the gov
ernor's secretary, and a scratch team of Eng
lishmen- The unaccustomed heat, and, per
haps, the uneven ground, which though well
rolled could hardly be called level, handi-
capped our countrymen too heavily; and we
were neither surprised nor disappointed when
our Fijian hosts achieved decided success
At that evening we witnessed a Gmeke
mckee by torchlight. The night air was lily
laden, and for a while nothing was heard but
the tapping Of the waves on the shore. while
we waited the advent of the meke makers.
AT last, a rustic as of leaves and by the fam
ing brands we saw about 100 men who had
formed themselves into crescent three deep
Then began a monotonous movement to q
droning song, accompanied by native drums.
The light shone fitfully on the swarthy faces
the countenances varying with the varying
gestures. At intervals every tenth man
would spring forward with the itheness of a
panther, his meke sulu of harris tongue fern
and seaweed glinting brightly as the torch
light struck it, the mass behind him forming
lines OF swaying undulation, keeping time
with the droning chant and an almost me-
chanical clapping Of hands.
After some time there was an interval of
rest and consultation, and then it seemed to
our unenlightened minds that the same thing
was repeated. When the entertainment was
over, we inquired with some anxiety what we
ought to have understood by the pantomimic
language Of the changing movements. but
could only gather that the meke was made I'D
a fortnight before we saw it. They never
perform the same meke twice We could ar
rive at no further calculation
The men arranged themselves TO rest, in
line, as they had danced. We wished to ex-
press our thanks substantially c. suggested
to friend that an Offering of little gold
might perhaps be permissible, and W.
ventured TO carry out the idea The chief re- |
ceived the coins with an air Of doubt, but 1
after some delay and consultation decided to |
accept them. Then followed the most cheer
ing sound that can be heard in a foreign |
country. The men rose from their reclining !
position, and from their mighty lungs and 1
loyal hearts rang out, Three cheers for the |

national reputation were heard from,
letter having been read from ex.Secr,
tary McCulloch, aud Comptroller O.!
the Currency Trenholm making p
speech, In his letter Mr.. McCullo n
says that the country is menaced ~
grave financial danger, the cause of
which is the attitude Of Congress on
the silver question.
There is plenty Of money the world
over, according to Mr.. McCulloch, and
the cause of the present depression is
not the lack of it, but, on the other
hand, its excessive production at Oh
solete figures. In other words, Mr.
McCulloch thinks that the continued
coinage Of the standard silver dollar of
the present basis will result in finan-
cial crash.
Judge Trenholm, in his speech,
agreed with Mr., McCulloch that there
is no lack Of money, and therefore that
low prices are not due to deficiency
in our circulating medium. One of the
causes of such prices is bad currency,
by which he means, Of course, the sill

were both loudly applauded, as they
