Care of The Enes.

Winter evenings which bring the
family about the lamp, suggest the
necessity of care for the eyes. The
foolish dread against wearing glasses has
almost led to modern common sense, but
the custom of buying glasses carelessly
still continues. It is not enough to visit
an optician and, after testing the length
of sight by reading a'series of letters
upon a chart, make the purchase. Eyes
should be examined and glasses should
be regularly prescribed, and then fitted
by an experienced optician. The eye,
from its intimate connection with
the brain, should be ~delicately
treated. Improper glasses often cause
headaches and other troubles and per-
manent injury to the sight. Another
cause of distress to the eye is reading or
studying when the system is fatigued.
A deathly sleeplness or inability to keep
the eyes open and q twitching Of the
muscles of the eye show that the whole
system deeds rest. The custom of some
Students in ~endeavoring to keep awake
by artificial means is hurtful to the eyes,
which will perform their task longer and
more effectually by careful treatment. -

nIlNorel Toboaannn side.

AT NIAGARA during the winter months
there is an ice formation that always
takes place at the foot of the American
Falls, and that is the ice mound. The
heavy cloud Of spray that rises at this
point strikes upon a huge rock that
stands detached from the overhanging
cliff and freezes. Day by day the freez-
ing continues, till ar immense mountain
of Ice reaching half way to the top of
the cliff is formed. The side of the
mound mex TO the falling sheet of water
il always a perpendicular precipice, but
the farther side formsa smooth incline
for a quarter of a mile or moro along the
base Of the towering bank of the river.
It has for years been one of tho features
Of a winter visit to slide down this
mound. Boards and barrel slaves have
generally been utilized for the purpose.
Occasionally a village small boy will
have his hand-slcd as the ice hill, which
he will loan to the tourist for a consid-
Grafton. It is proposed this winter,
however, to utilizs the ice msund for q
gigantic and unique toboggan slide, ex-
tending the incline down the river for
two Or three hundred rods. Those who
have seen the hill in other winters can
form some idea Of what . grand slide it
GIN be made, with its solid, natural leo
foundation, anda starting point varying
according to the severity Of the winfsr
from fifty to eighty feet in height. The
great tobcggan slido is likely to BIO one
Of the attractions Of this wonderful
place during the Winter, aud q swift
plunge over the the icy course will be

The Mem Phononrnnh.

1t is reported now that Mr.. Edison
has perfected his photograph, Oh talk
ieg machine, so that it will take very
delicate sounds and reproduce them al
most in equal volume. He has also
made an arrangement whereby tn,
tables containing the sound impressions
can be taken from the machine and
sent by mail or otherwise to any part of
the country and reproduced, The diff
GUY with the first monographs was
that they were not sensitive enough to
record anything but very loud sounds
and those spoken close to the instru-
ments. The sounds reproduced were
only about one-fourth the volume of
those given to the instrument. II Mr..
Edison has remedied these defects. and
perfected a machine that will take and
register ordiRary conversation anywhere
within a radius of ten or twelve feet, he
has made an invention that will revo-
~lutionize our system of photography,
etc. Only think of the possibilities of
a machine that you have only to set on
a table in the courtroom or on a pulpit
or platform in order to obtain a perfect
= accurate report of every word that
is spoken near it in the very volume and
accent in which it is spoken! Think Of
receiving a Photographic sheet sent
you by a friend il some distant part Of
the world which you might place in
your own machine and by turning a
wheel have your friend conversing with
you 'tas natural as life." ItEEthe s2-ae
way you might by preserving the<G6und
tablets hear the voices of friedds and
loved ones speaking to you again in the
old familiar way long years after they
had departed from the earth. Such
results as these are not vain imaginings,
but are even now within the range of
actual realization. j Christian at Work.

A Gnrnfporoua Antelope.

While visiting q friend on o cattle
ranch in the San Andreas Mountains
of southern New Mexico, says Ralph s.
Tarrin in the Swiss Cross, ] saw what
to me seemed a most abnormal habit.
Ny friend had a young antelope six or
seven months old, which he had cap
tured when very young, and kept as a
pet about the ranch. This animal Is,
by the way, very tame, following its
master about without once offering to
join its fellows, which often come in
sight Of the house. When offered pieces
of raw beef, it will eat the meat with
evident relish, and in preference to
vegetable food. / have seen it eat piece
after piece until it has disposed of half
a pound or more, then it would walk to
the corn-crib and eat corn as a sort of
dessert. It also eats bread, cooked po-
tato, and sweet-potato both raw and
cooked.

ship is a fine specimen of artistic orna-
mentation in iron inlaid with silver,
willis others belong to the late Renais-
sance just before it moved into the Ro-
eocostyle. The notches were still as
intrieate as they were in the Gothic
period, and actually correspond with
the wards or projecting ridges of metal
in the interior of the lock, so as to pre-
vent any other key being used in which
the notch did not fit the wards.
With the introduction of the French
box lock toward the middle of the
seventeenth century, the. no longer
visible inner parts of the lock, as we'll
as the notches of the key bit, were o

merely ornaments, with no wards to

Tree Cranes.

Mr.. John J. Campbell, in the Amer
lean Naturalist, describes his successful
attempt to trace the track of an ancient
cyclone, that must have swept over In
diana more than three centuries ago.
The course Of the storm was indicated
by little mounds, made by the decaylng
bodies and roots of the fallen trees.
These mounds MIR. Campbell calls stree
graves" and he traced them in q belt
about one thousand feet wide for fifteen
miles. We should naturally imagine
that these mounds would long since
have been levelled by the action of rain
and frost, but Mr.. Campbell says that
they are protected by the annual layer
of lofest leaves that fall upon them.
"The leaves act as shingles IN shedding
the rains, so that they are not washed
or worn down by the falling rain or
melting snow. The frost does not pen
citrate through a good coating of leaves,
and therefore they are not expanded
and spread out by freezing and thaw-
ing. can see a great difference be-
tween the mounds in the wild forest
and those on land that has been set to
grass and pastured a few years. The
tramping of stock, and the frequent ex-
pansions from freezing, which the grass
does not prevent, fiatten them percep-
tibly. The grass, however, does pre-
serve them against rain washiug.@

PEARLS OF THOUGHT

Happiness is always where we find it,
but rarely where we seek it,.
A helping hand at the right moment
would save many from ruin.
Doing good is the only certainly happy
action of a mans life.
The great high road of human welfare
lies along the old highway of steadfast
we'll doing.
A miser grows rich by seeming poor;
an extravaganza man grows poor by
seeming rich.
Cheerfulness is an excellent wearing
quality. 1t has been called the bright
weather of the heart.
The strongest friendships have been
formed in mutual adversely, as iron is
most strongly united by the fercest
flame.
AS the sword of the best tempered
metal is the most flexible, so the truly
. generous are most plant and courteous
in their behavior to their interiors.
Study rather to fill your minds than
your Golfers; knowing that gold and sill
yer were originally mingled with dirt,
until avarlce or ambition parted them.
How much trouble he avoids who
does not look to see what his neighbor
says or does or thinks, but only to what
he does himself, that it may be just and
pure!
We should manage our fortune like
our constitution; enjoy 1t when good
have patience when bad, and never ap-
ply violent remedies but in cases of
necessity.
SANDER is often its own punishment.
The good and useful at whose characters
it is commonly aimed generally outlive
this INSCRIPTIONS form of opposition so
that those who have sought to injure
are IN turn despised.

The connection between natural gas
and matrimony does not appear on the
surface; but they have traced it out to
Pittsburgh. The Chronicle Telegraph
Of that city calls attention with proper
pride to the issuance Of sixty marriage
licenses in the county in a single day
and darkly hints that this popularity of
the married state is due to the fact that
natural gas has solved the morning
fire. problem. Itemay be so, and yet
without any naturars gas there is still
marrying and giving in marriage in this
vicinity.
