The art of book-binding has been
practiced for over 1000 years.
The first book coverings were of
wood-plain oakeu boards. The fine
volumes were bound in carved oak COW

About the time of the Christian era
Roman books were covered with yell
low, green, and purple leather and
decorated with gold and silver.
At the end of the fourteenth century
books were bound in leather of all
colors and set with precious stones.
Benjamin Bradley of Boston was the

A Curious Operation.

English surgeons have devised anew
and beneficent operation by which the
sheath of the optic nerve behind tho
eye is opened, and not only is tho pres
sure upon the nerve removed and total
or almost blindness cured, but the brain
itself is relieved. The membranes
which invest the brain, and are con-
tinued down to the eye in the form OF
a sheath which surrounds the optic
nerve, secrete certain amount OF
fluid; and whenever there is an excess
of this secretion, or by other means, as
by the growth of q brain tUmor, the
pressure within the cavity Of the skull
is increased, superabundance of nuld
is apt to find its way down the nerve
sheath to the level of the eye, subject
inc the optic nerve to injurious press
ure, and frequently destroying the
sight. This blindness may be perma-
nent, even though the pressure in the
brain cavity which causes it be only
temporary and be cured. DR.. dc
Wecker of Paris, sixteen or seventeen
years ago, suggested that it might be
! possible to open the optic nerve sheath,
and thus not only to relieve the nerve
| from pressure but also to drain the
DIdlu cavity anu icllCNo tio Dl1lu PlS9
suse there. He made two experiments
in this line upon two nearly hopeless
cases, but he tried to feel his way to
the nerve without the aid of sight, and
| to cut the sheath by means of an in
strument carrying a concealed knife,
which was projected by spring. On
ly one other attempt of this sort was
made, and the results not being salts
factory the experiments were dropped
until last year DR.. Brudenell Carter OF
London devised a method of operating
by which the sheath was exposed tc
view and every step of the operation
was guided by the surgeons eye. II

HOW SHALL THE OLD SOLDIERS BI
KEPT?

The old soldiers who cannot work
longer must be kept They cannot 60
naked or starve. Leaving out Of ac'
count all sentiments of patriotism, the
broad fact remains that they are fail
ing in such numbers and so fast in the
ability to earn q living by labor, that
they must be kept by a service pension
or they must be kept by local taxa
tion.

IT NEED ADD NOTHING TO TAXATION.
In discussing the service pension
subject, we ought to take into account
every element of past patriotism and
present and future policy. The chief
charges against service pensions are by
writer's who personally knew nothing
of army service, or the patriotism that
risked family and life that liberty
might live, and are that "it would
largely benefit some who are not in
actual need and the 'skulkers' and
hospital bummers.'
To the first charge the sufficient re.
ply is that the men whose abilities like
Generals Spinola and Alger, and Sen
ator Mandersou, have made them rich
were young and poor when they vol
unteered their services when they were
needed and rendered them and only
a demagogue of the deepest dye would
endeavor to refuse justice to ninety
~aiRe poor men because one rich mar
would be benefited thereby. The
pittance the rich would get would bC
of little account to them, while tht
refusal of this act will practically
pauperize a great number of need,
and deserving men.
AS TO the "skulkers," they wer
scarce their existence is a fancy 0
the men who were not there. AS t
the "hospital bummers," if such ther
were, it is we'll known that all VIII
have hospital record can and gen
orally have received pensions.
WHO WOULD BE BENEFITED.
Much the largest number of mel
nay, almost the whole number wh
will be benefited by service pensio
law, are those who by reason of goo
luck escaped the death.missiles of tt
enemy and who, by reason of grei
personal health and strength, escape
the diseases incident to a soldiers e'
perience.
The soldiers who did the Cover
ment most service and cost it lea
we're those who escaped wounds an
disease and fought clear through. The
were the most effective and least cost
of the soldiers who saved the Republ
from dismemberment, and hence
their old age they need and deser

NERVOUS DISEASES.


eases and the cause of death of the
old soldiers who have died and are
dying, show that so large proportion
of them as to make it almost a uni.
versal rule are suffering from nervous
prostration and die from heart failure.
This result is undoubtedly due to the
intense strain on the nervous systems
of the men who lived and marched
and shot and slept with the danger of
instant death always hanging over
them.
The average age of the living soldier
is fifty.one years. At this age those
who came through safe are breaking
down in such numbers as to show that
some universal cause underlies it, and
that their army service has broken
them down nineteen years sooner than
they would have failed in the ordinary
course Of nature.
THE GOVERNMENTS PROMISE.
It was not the promise or the iuten.
tion of the Government that any of
the men who took the oath, wore the
uniform or carried the arms of the
Republic should ever die in the poor
house or in want. A service pension
has been granted TO the soldiers of all
our other wars, and the soldiers of the
war Of the rebellion now demand one
and they want it now, when they and
their wives aud children may be bene
fited by it, and patriotism and faith il
the Republic be strengthened by it.
THE DEMAND.
Here, then, is the proposition o
those who advocate a liberal service
pension law, viz: "That no soldier 0
the Republic shall be forced to aeeep
pripate or public charity for the mean
Of lJe."
1t is a well known fact that froI
ten to thirty thousand soldiers Of tn
Republic are in the poor houses Of tn
different states, aud that a much large

THREE WAYS OF PAYMENT.

There is no escape from the dilemma,
and the only horns from which to
choose are whether the whole wealth
of the whole country shall keep them
by service pension law through our
present revenue system, or whether the
North and West shall keep them by
local taxation; or whether another
system can be found which will do the
work and avoid all taxation, and be
also measure of great and perma'
nent public benefit.

vate charity of their relatives or Of the

is further known that the limit Of
ability of the relatives and Grand
Army of the Republic is nearly

The cost of this act of justice would
not be one half, if even one. fourth, Of
what its opponents charge. But If it
we're as great or twice as great it is a
duty, and the Government is able and
should do it. The widest charge of
its opponents is that half.million of
people would get pension under 1t,
and that the average would be about
half way between the minimum $3.50
and the maximum s22.60- $185.40
per year, say 5000, this would give the
first cost at s1OO,OOO,00O - which
would constantly diminish. All agree
that there is now s100,000,000 annual
surplus revenue, and where could it be
placed with SO much of benefit aud
justice as among those who made any
surplus revenue possible.

SPORTING MATTERS,

The Record Broken-TwenIy Goals Made in the New Haven Rink Eleven Captured by New Haven Some Brilliant Work-The Game Five Times Tied.
 The Bridgeport polo team came to New Haven last night with firm determination to win, for Hartford is dangerously near them, being but one game behind in games won. They struck snag and were defeated Il ro g. This score breaks the record in the New Haven rink, 1t being the largest nunber made there this year.
 Pierce made some brilliant dashes and no one could stop him. He was well assisted by Parsons. Connors did not do much at first, missing several fine chances, but later on he braced up and did some wonderful work. Hill at times played brilliantly, and his passing was feature. He got in his usual goal on long drive from center. Phelan did not have much of chance to block, as the visitors played three rushers most of the time. Reed made several difficult stops, and in the seventeenth goal he set the spectators almost wild by leaving the cage and rushing up the rink with the ball, Phelan taking his place at goal. Williams is @ good one at goal. Conway was not able to hold his own 50 well last night as usual.
 For the first time in many games the visi- tors made the frst goal by Pierce, on Fra zier's pass. Then followed a beautiful play by Hill and Sword. The former caromed the ball to Sword, and turning gave the ball back-handed drive, which tied the score
 Bridgeport made the next by Pierce having an open shot for goal. New Haven tied the score second time. Phelan made a long drive. The bali hit the wall. Sword hit it out to Connors and he completed the play.
 The fifth was made on clever passing by Connors and Sword. Pierce tied the score in seven seconds, catching the ball from Con- nors on the rush and caging from the center.
 The thirteenth, fourteenth and sixteenth were made on beautiful stops from the side by Connors, on accurate passes by Hill. The fifteenth Connors made in seven seconds, inn mediately after. taking the rush. The score:

ANOTHER AWFUL EXPLOSION.


 A Terrible Disaster 0ceurs st Ply
 mouths PeRn.-Ten Girls and One
 Man Kflled-The Cause of the EK-
 plosioR Is a myssery-Names Of she
 Victims.
 WMKEsBARRE, Penn.y Feb. .25.-A terrible disaster occurred at Plymouth, few miles from here, this afternoon, by which ten girls and man were killed. Back of the Gaylord shaft stood the factory of John Powell. used for the manufacture of squibs used by the miners in loosening coal in the mines. The factory employed eighty four girls, ranging from twelve to twenty years old, and several men. While the majority of the girls were at their homes eating dinner the people were startled by the deafening thunders of terri- fc explosion. They rushed terror-stricken to their doors and windows and saw clouds of smoke ascending from the squib factory. Soon large crowd had gathered. There were at least twenty persons in the building at the time of the explosion eating their noon meal. A number of the girls, some of them bleeding, rushed to the windows and screamed frantically for help, and a dozen miners from the adjoining colliery ran to their rescue.
 Just then another terrific explosion took place and the entire building collapsed, bury ing in the ruins the forms that a moment be- fore stood crying for assistance. When the smoke and flying debris had settled search among the ruins began, and one by one the bodies were found and taken out, charred be- yond recognition, bleeding and msngled.. The killed so far as known are: Kate Jones, aged IS, Maggie Lynch, Hattie Jones, aged 16; Gladys Reese, aged 15; Mary Waters, aged 15; Maggie Richards, aged IT; Mary Lake, aged IF; Ruth Powell, aged 19; Esther Powell, aged 22; Jane Ann Thomas, aged 16; Charlotte Humphreys, aged IT.
 John Powell, the proprietor, was badly ins jured. Business in the town of Plymouth is at stand still and 8 death-like pail hangs over tine community. Several kegs of pow der caused the explosion, but how they were exploded is as yet mystery.
 At the main entrance to the factory the remains of five of the girls were found. They must have evidently made an effort to get out after the first explosion, but were caught in the debris before they could reach the door. Not one of them was recognizable. Some had their heads blown off: others their arms and majority were minus both legs and arms. After working for hours the succeeded in getting out all the re- mains, which consisted of trunks, arms, legs and skulls.
