Save the Eyesight.

Next to sunlight the inoandescent light gives the best illumination for reading, and all notions of the injurious effect on the eyes of theselectric light are erroneous.
 The vast majority of people who wear glasses can see we'll enough without them. They use them to avoid constant strain on the eyes. The act of foealizing is a muscu- lar one and uses up nervous energy.
 The oversighted eye, in which the focus comes behind the retina, has to perform this muscular act continually. The results are
 headaches, irritiability and nausea. The only remedy in such cases Is to wear glasses.
 The nearsighted child should wear speeta- cles. because they are the best prevtative
 against increase of nearsightedness, and also
 because he loses great part of his education in not being able to see more than few feet away.
 For the eyes in healthy state there is but on safe wash-pure cold water. When the eyelids are indamed the best lotion is a weak solution of salt and water. Never apply poultioes to the eyes or use "eyewaters' without the advice of 6 physician. At the first symptoms of nearsightedness spectacles should be worn. There is great deal of popular prejudice against spectacles, but there are two good reasons why they should be worn, and only two. One is that we see better, and the other that the strain on the eyes may be relieved.
 In reading, the book or paper should bt held at distance of from 10 to 15 inches from the eyes. The readers position should ! be such that tke light may fall on the boeH and not on the eyes. The light should be sufficient. Nothing is so injurious to the eyei as poor light in readind.
 A sparrow in the hand is worth two on the roof. A bottle of Warmers Log Cabin Sar- saparilla is better for man with impure blood than half dozen doctors. It is ar old fashioned but certain remedy. Largest bottle on the market.

THE FLOWERS OF LONDON.

London is great city, and one of the evi- dences of it's size is the fact that not less than $25, ,00O worth of flowers are sold there every day. At this rate the annual expendi- ture for flowers in the big metropolis is more than $7, ,500,0 900. Mir. Sampson Morgan of London has prepared statement containing some interesting facts concerning the flower supply of the city.
 large part of the supply of cut flowers
 which are sold in London comes from the Channel Islands, Italy, France and Holland.
 MT. Morgan complains that the English growers neglect great opportunity which
 lies at their very doors in not obtaining their
 share in this constantly growing trade. Dur
 ing the winter and spring there is special
 railroad and postal service by which the flow
 er cu1tivators of France are enabled to pour
 into the English market such things as white
 ilacs, violets, snowdrops, lilies of the valley,
 daffodils, roses, hyacinths and fern by the
 thousand dozen punches at a time. The growers of southern France are HOW paying
 special attention to the culture of cut fow- CTS for the English market, and the tasty manner in which their eensignments are pre- pared has made these goods decidedly popu-
 lar with English buyers. One grower in Cannes sends annually to London field flow CTS to the value of $e0,0O0, the yellow mar- guerite from his place commanding excep- tionally high prices. Large quantities of roses are sent to London from northern Italy, while certain classes of plants sold there come chiefly from Holland.
 It would seem that the English might grow more flowers, and they probably could if they would attend to it. One of the reasons ! why they do not is that to prepare land for ! flower cultivation, to build the necessary glass covers, requires considerable outlay of I money which a grower would hardly care to put upon an estate unless he was the owner | of the land. But in most parts of England the land is so held that it is not easy for one \ desiring to carry this business to obtain | by purchase locations favorable for this pur- pose, while in France and Italy growers can readily purchase the locations they desire for | the prosecution of this business.

AN.oLD YANKEE STEAM ENGINE

| 1
 A queer ana Pondereus COntrivance,
 but 1t DId Hts Work Well. [From the Providence Journall
 It has been claimed that to Rhode Island
 belongs the honor of using the first practical stationary steam engine in the United States. Without attempting to vouch for the histor- ical accuracy of the statement, it Is sufficient to know that the engine was at work in the town of Cranston more than hundred years ago, and that although of crude construction and ponderous movement it did the work for which it was designed. The engine was built by MT. Joseph Brown of this city, and cost upward of e1 ,C00. It was founded
 upon the English type of engine known as the Newcomer, but contained some improve ments and simplifcations original with the builder. The engine was set up at the Cranston ore beds beyond Knightsville, and one of the most complete accounts of it is to be found in the biography and diary of Manasseh Cutler, IL. D., Ipswich, Mass. Dr. Cutler appears to have learned of this engine and taken 8 chaise journey 10 New l York to visit it. In the diary, under date June 27, 17S7, he thus describes the mechan- ! ism:
 To go to-the furnace and engine was eight miles, nearly, out of my way, but my curi- osity was 80 much excited by the description l of so singular 6 seheme-tha only one in pleasure of viewing it. I arrived at the ore 1 beds (iron ore) at 12 o'clock. The engine
 was at work raising water from well eighty | feet deep. The iron fue is two and one half l feet wide by six feet long, with square hearth at the mouth, secured from fire by large, thick, iron plates. On the back part
 of the fiue is winding funnel, which passes into chimney back of the building.
 Above the fue is placed wooden boiler, six feet in diameter, which is constantly
 kept full of water when the engine is ir motion. The boiler rises above the first l story of the building, much in the form oi

the large cisterns used in distilleries, where
 it receives, at the top, the condensing cylin-
 der, two and one-half feet in diameter, and
 made of plated iron. From this cylinder @
 large worm passes with many windings down
 the boiler. The valve that passes into this
 cylinder Is more than two feet in diameter,
 and rises and descends by means of an iren
 rod made fast to one end of . large beam.
 Around the top of the boiler are numerous
 leaden pipes-sone connected with the con-
 denser and some not-furnished with stop
 cocks for admitting or excluding air or
 water, as necessary in working the machine;
 but they are too numerous and complicated
 to admit of any description from mere
 view of the machine. A large reservour
 of water is placed in the third loft of the
 house, constantly affording water to the
 works below, and is constantly supplied with
 pump fer the purpose, by the working of
 the machine.
 The large beam is 8 massive piece of timber
 near four feet in diameter and twenty feet
 long, being two very large oak timbers nicely
 forged together. It moves on large iron
 bolt in the center, like the beam of scales,
 and has two arching timbers at each end, forming the segments of circle, along which two chains of prodigious size play as the beam moves. One of these chains leads to the piston, or valve of the condenser, and the other, at the opposite end, to the pumps in the well. There are four cold water pipes, one 1eeulnR pipe, ana one V6nb1ng plpe. 6y the motion of the beam which raises the water out of the we'll all these pipes open or close by means of stopeocks and valves, as the design of them requires. There are two large pumps in the well, which is 80 feet deep and 23 feet wide. The sides of the well are supported by large timbers laid horizon tai, so as to make the form of the well quin- tangular, and the ends of the timbers are let into one another. The engine raises seven hogsheads of water in minute, and the due ! consumes two cords of wood in twenty -four hours.
 The immense weight Of the beam, the ! cast-iron wheels, large chains, and other | weighty parts of the work occasion 8 most 1 tremendous noise and trembling of the large \ building in which it is erected when the | machinery is in motion. By the sides of the | well from which the water is drawn are two 1 other wells, seventy feet deep. These are ! sunk down in the bed or ore. and in these are the workmen, ten or twelve in number ] digging ore. The ore is raised in large buck ! cts, which hold about one ton weight, lei down and drawn up by large chains, carried from the we'll to large capstan, which if
 constantly turned by au OK. As one bucket | arises another goes down. These wells are ! kept dry by the water continually drawing ! off into the well where the pumps are fixed
 and the pumps keep the water below the \ height where the men work.

IS CATARRHp ?

Catarrh is an Inflammation of the mucous mem branes, and may affect the head, throat, stomach. bowels or bladder. But catarrh of the head is the most common, often coming on so gradually that that 1t has a firm hold before the nature of the trouble is suspected. Catarrh is caused by cold, succession of colds, combined with
 IMPURE BLOOD.
 It's local symptoms are sense of fullness and heat in the foreh. ad dryness in the and back part of the throat, and a disagreeable discharge from tho nose. When the disease gains firm hold on the system it becomes chrouic, and is then ex- ceedingly dangerous and treacherous, liable ts de- velop into consumption. The eyes become unframed and red there is throbbing in the temples, ringing noises in the ears headache capricous appetite and sometimes loss of sense of smell and hearing
 HOODS SARSAPARILLA Is the remedy for this ever increasing malsdy. It attacks at the of the disease by purify ing and enrichiDg the blood, which in passing through the delicate passages of the mucous mem- brane soothes and rebulds the tissues giving them tendency health instead of disease, and ultimate ly curing the affection. At the same time Hoods Sarsaparilla builds up the whole system and makes one feel that he has taken a new lease of life.
