Hurtful Occupations.

There are many occupations in which the
eyes have to suffer, as very small objects
must be critically scrutinized, frequently by
artificial light. The objects, in order to be
distinctly seen, must be brought quite near
the eye. This necesSitates great straining Of
the eye. Theeyeban being compressed some
what by the muscles causes congestion, which
is increased by artificial light in which there
is excessive heat. Rays of yellow color are
very trying to the eyes. Engravers, lapida-
ries, watchmskers and sewing girls are sub
ject to affections Of the eyes, due to above
mentioned causes They lead a sedentary
life, sitting at work in constrained attitude,
with the body bent forward and shoulders
rounded, SO that the thoracic movements are
interfered with. This produces consumption,
the cases of this disease among engravers
and seamstresses being very numerous. En-
gravers are also subject to spasrns in their
fingers, with disease of the skin on the hands
and foreerms
Watchmakers who do the repairing have
the nail on the right thumb thickened and
scaly from their manner Of opening watches
The nails on the thumb and index finger Of
the left hand show at the point where they

plete destruction produced by the constant
rubbing of the file. Seamstresses are some
times poisoned by the stuffs they work upon.
Many instances have occurred Of arsenicaI
poisoning in those who sewed green goods
which are colored with arsenical salts A
physician of Boston found 821 grains of it in
one square foot Of goods. An nitching, eczema
tous eruption has been produced by tissues
colored with the bright anilins dyes Silk
thread is also soaked in the acetate of
lead to increase its weight, and persons
who pass it through the mouth in threading
needles, and then bite it Off with the teeth,
have suffered from lead poisoning. The in
fuence Of sewing machines on the health Of
women has often been discussed by eminent
men with conflicting arguments and evidence.
The most elaborate investigation is by Du-
chesne. He found tat women suffered from
muscular pain and great fatigue of the lower
limbs, with dyspepsia and other evils; while
other writer's agree that moderate work on
the sewing machine is rather beneficial for
health than otherwise, and that only where
women work from eight to ten hours at the
Teadle evil results are apparent 1t seems
clear, therefore, that the chief source of their
troubles is fatigue which, with their habits
of life, food, associations, etc, fully accounts
for the symptoms As the health Of women
Is vastly more important to the national
vigor than that Of men, special care should
ever be taken to guard it.-Bostou Globe.

A Simple Experiment.

An interesting little experiment OF trick is
that of floating needle. Get glass of water
and a needle and try to make the needle float.
All that is required is little skill, which
practice will give In the same way an or
dinary steel pen may sometimes be foated in
water. If you have a magnet and rub it on
the needle before the latter is placed in the
water, it will point, like compass, to the

THE BIRTHPLACE OF JAMES WATT.

The position Of the building viii be marked
by memorial tablet on the new building to
be erected on this site. James Watt, in his
youth, was apprenticed to a maker of mathe-
matical instruments. He began, at the age
Of 20, to make experiments with steam as a
motive power In ITO he commenced prac-
tice as an engineer, and in 1774 entered into
partnership with Mr.. Matthew Boulton, of
the Soho works, at Birmingham, where his
grand inventions were applied with speedy
success and results Of amazing magnitude
James Watt retired from business in 1900 and

ChIoroform for Delirium Tremens.

A physician gives an account in The Medi-
cal Record of case of delirium tremens, in
which tonic spasms were but partially over
come by the inhalation of six ounces of
chloroforrn. He then gave chloroform in
ternally in teaspoonful doses every fifteen or
twenty minutes. Six of these controlled the
patient, and the next day he was able to go
out, though not entirely recovered from his
two weeks spree. He was a large, muscular
man, and there was no question that the con-
vulsions resulted from excess of alcohol.

IOWA,s LEGISLATIVE SQUABBLE.

DES MONIES, Ia, Feb. 4.-The session o
the house lasted about an hour today.
After the opening exercises Senator
Bolter introduced resolutions adopted by
the G. A. K. post condemning the action
of the senate in electing civilians to the
minor offices in its gift. Objection was
raised to the matter going on file because
it was in disrespectful language and was
not a faithful representation of the facts.
The Democrats spoke very strongly in
favor of having the resolutions 20 on rec
ord and the Republicans against 1t. The
chair finally ruled that for reasons as
signed the paper should not go on file.

Alum in Bread,

Alum owes its power of blanching the
paste of bread not to the alumina which it
contains, or to the combination of this earth
with the gluten, but to the sulphuric acid
liberated by the fornation.of aluminium al
illuminate. According to Nothnagel and
Rossbach, the prolonged daily use of alum
occasions gastric disturbances not unimpor-
tant. The author finds that the artificial
gastric digestion of alumed bread effects the
solution of all the alum present. Hence it is
possible that q quantity of alumina may en-
ter the circulation daily.

Effect of Arsenic ON the Skin.

Some women use arsenic for the purpose Of
obtaining pearly whiteness of skin. Prom
inent physicians in New York call attention
to the frightfully rapid spread of this custom
among the uneducated class. One Of them
says: ''The cause of the transparent white
ness of the skin is that the ends of the blood
vessels are killed. The arsenic also destroys
theaction of the kidneys, and inevitably brings
on a fatal disease of the digestive organs"

1t is fairly established that the common
wart, which Is SO unaghtly and often so pro-
hferous on the hands and face, can be easily
removed by small doses of sulphate of mag
nesia taken internally. NJ. Coirat, OF Lyons,
has drawn attention to this extraordinary
fact. Several children treated with three
grain doses of Epson salts, morning and
evening, were promptly cured. M. Aubert
cites the case of woman whose face was dis
figured by these excrescences, and who was
cured in a month by ~ drains of magnesia
taken daily. Another medical man reports
a case of very large warts which disappeared
in fortnight from the daily administration
of 10 grains Of the salts.

usage. The end of the tongue was broken
off, the body of the coach weatherworn and
ding, with doors wide open and glass gone.
Brackets for lamps were there, but the
lamps were wanting. The padding inside
was worn away, exposing the wool and de-
caying leather. But it had evidently been
a glorious old coach at one time. On the
panels of the doors were family discernible
gilt letters bearing this legend: Fort
Meade and Deadwood U. s. Mail" It is
said this old coach had seen service in Mon
tana long before it was taken to the hills.
If its history could be correctly written the
story would make very interesting reading.
How many thousands of passengers it has
carried, tons of freight and treasure.
But the days of the stage coach are num-
bered, except in isolated districts, where, of
course, they will probably always be useful.
The old-timer still has vivid recollection
and kind remembrance of the overland
coach, and it is believed, if the truth were
known, many of them would be glad to see
the overland driven up Main street loaded
with passengers, mail sacks and, what not?
But these wild desires are repressed out of
consideration for the railroads and new
corners, and if INDUCED in at all it is only
at times when few congenial spirits con-
gregate IN a social way to relate stories OF
early days.
