seas" whose uniformity of level and pc
culiarities Of tint can be explained in no
other way. The mere fact, of course, that
certain tracts of the moon are smoother
and darker than others would mean little ;
but when we notice that these broad, dark
and relatively smooth tracts all lie at lower
levels than the brighter or whittier tracts,
we see that this cannot be a mere eoinci-
dence. If water were poured upon the
moon now in sufficient quantity, the water
would occupy those parts of the moon
which are dark, and leave uncovered
just those parts which are light. No
reasonable explanation of this pecu-
lia1ity can be found except the sup
position that seas formerly existed or
the moon, occupying those regions which
thus attest by their darker tints, by their
uniformity Of surface, and by their lower
level, that they were formerly the floors of
ancient lunar seas. From these regions
the seas have retreated, soaked up las it
were) within the moons interior. But
the process must have been a slow one,
lasting doubtless for millions of years, dur
ing which the lunar air also slowly (but in
such long periods effectively diminished
in amount. When at length the process
was completed, the moon had become the
scene of desolation and of death which she
presents now. She "being dead yet
speaketh," however, and the lesson which
she teaches is that our earth must likewise
die. RICHARD A. PROCTOR.

FINGER.TIP REFORM.
Fine Hands and Pearly Nails Quite Fad
in Washington.

One of the ''local specials in the Wash
ington Cd. CO. Critic reads:
The members of the French Legation
have the best kept hands of any men at
Washington. This is on the authority of
local manicure, as she addressed herself
artistically to the reportorial fnger-nails.
There's hardly a man in the embassy
whose fingers-tips are not as brilliant as
mother-of-pearl. They go to the mani
cures as regular as to BARRIERS Why
shouldn't they? Manicuring is French
art, and patriotism alone would lead them
to favor it. In this city men are better
patrons of manicures than are women.
The artiste des mains drew aside porcu-
pine-quill portiere and showed hand
somely furnished apartment in which sew
eral well-known men were awaiting their
turn at the manicural cushion.
"This is our smoking-room," she said.
" Our art has found such favor among the
masculine element that it was necessary to
provide thus for our men patrons"
" How do you account for the predom-
nance of men among your customers%
:" think it's because women learn the
art themselves and practice it at home.
Miss Clevola took clever way of avail
ing herself of the art. She sent her maid
here to be treated. The maid was observ-
ing and initiative, and afterward dressed
her lady's hand in the most approved fash
ion. But Miss Cleveland didn't profit
much by her ruse, for the maid demanded
the wages of skilled labor, and when this
was refused her gave up her situation and
opened manicural parlors"
Its surprising how pretty fingers please
even the great of the land. Not long ago
Representative from one of the Gulf
States happened into my parlors. Wash
ington civilization had pinched his toes,
and, in consequence, he had a corn to be
treated. After l had placed him properly
on his feet he paid me literally, and said
he guessed he would hurry over and see
the President on business / glanced at
his hands, each finger of which carried a
much-chewed nail. / suggested that he
submit to manicuring, but as he didn't APP
pear to understand what / meant, | fin
ished off finger for him. 1t took his
glittering gems at his finger ends whenever
he removes his gloves"
The finger-decorative fad has probably
reached higher development in Wash
ington than in any other American city.
At fashionable school in this city nail
culture is almost part of the curriculum,
and the boarders are visited regularly by
a manicure and instructed in tbs mys-
teries of unequal adornment. Mrs. James
Brown Potter was noted while in Wash
ington society for the beauty of her finger
tips, and did much to increase the popu.
larlty of this peculiar art.
Mrs. Cleveland yields her own polisseu
de ongles, but a public reception with its
hand-grasping always undoes much careful
manicural work. During Arthur's admin
istration manicure made regular weekly
visits to the White House, and from tina
time nail garniture at the Capitol dates it
greatest popularity.

Effect of Dust on Health.

The injurious effects of certain industries
upon the health of employees, arising from
the dust involved, are specially felt, accord
ing to report made to the British Parlia-
ment on the subject, by corn-millers, malt
sters, tea-handlers, cofee-roasters, snuff
makers, paper makers, flock dressers,
feather-dressers, shoddy-grinders, weavers
of coverlets, dressers of hair, hatters in GER
tain departments, dressers of colored
leather, workers in flax, dressers of hemp,
some workers in wool, ware-grinders,
masons, iron miners, lead miners grinders
of metals, fle-cutters, machine-makers,
makers of firearms and button-makers. To
these may be added GOLFERS, who suffer
from lung diseases in ill-ventilated mines a;
potters, especially the class called flat
pressers, in whom emphysema is so COM
mon that it is known as the potters'
asthma; the china-scourers. whoall, sooner
or later, become asthmatical from inhaling
the light film dust in suspension; pearl
button-makers and pin-pointers, who suffer
from bronchitis and h@moptysis the
makers of grindstones, Portland cement
etc. How the whitehead industry came to
be omitted from the list is inexplicable.-

a Chicago paper says: In other coun-
tries the general use of hardwood lumber is
taken as matter of course But little
more than ten years since it would have
been hard to find firm in Chicago doing
business in hardwood lumber exclusively,
except perhaps for use in the manufacture
of furniture. To-day this is entirely
changed. No house of any pretensions is
erected that has not more or less hardwood
trimming, and usually in the entire trim
ming, as well as the floors, nothing but
hardwood is introduced. This is not alto
gether because the architectural taste has
| changed, but largely because many of the
hardwoods, such as maple, ash, oak, and
even cherry, can be furnished dressed for
less money than the same grade of soft
pine can be obtained. One firm, and prob
ably the largest in the Jine in the West,
| Hayden Bros, have a yard covering six
acres of ground, in which there is nothing
but hardwood lumber The yard is CEN
trally located, with ample track facilities,
and within it is piled ever 100000 feet
of hardwood lumber of all descriptions.
