"abyssal zones" have only rudimen.
tary eyes. Some have only long feel
ers, but these enable them to grope
their way about at the bottom of the
sea. On the other hand. there are
several "abyssal" species of fishes
which have eyes so large that they are
wholly out of proportion to the rest of
their bodies. These are supposed to
follow their phosphorescent brethren,
which act as beacon lights in the
may depths of old Neptune's track

these ocean lamp-posts, which have
been brought to the surface by deep
sea dredgers, are so bright that dur

under water are able TO bear the pres

as l said in Curious Facts About the
Sea" last week, is one ton to the
square inch at the depth of only a
mile, is because they have exceeding
ly loose tissues, which allow the
water to flow through every interstice
like it would through the pores of
sponge, thus equalizing the weight.
Indeed, it is asserted, the main cause
of their dying almost Immediately
upon being brought to the surface, is
because the accustomed pressure has
been removed. According to the
naturalists of the Challenger expedi-
ton, all species of sharks brought up
from depth of over two miles are
dead before they reach the surface

Curious Deep.Sea Products.

Fishes have been found, it is said,
three miles below the surface of the
ocean, and when specially has been
made of deep-sea soundings, as in the
voyage of H. M. S. Challenger and
others, the very greatest ocean depths
have been found to be very populous.
Plants, on the contrary, do not live
in the very deepest waters, and it Is
supposed, therefore. that the deep-sea
animals either prey upon each other
or get their food from dead organisms
and plants which sink to the bottom.
The phosphorescent fishes, those which
light up the waves about them so
brilliantly, are found as far as mile
below the surface. The most of the
fishes found in what are called the

A story comes from Athens which
is almost too good to be true. but
quite too good to be withheld. The
Privy Council had meeting in the
room set apart for them in the glaring
white succeed palace. 1t was even
ing, and the president had just risen
to address his colleagues. laying, &C.
cording to custom, his gold watch on
the table in front of him, so that he
might mark time. Suddenly the
electric light went out, but after a
short interval returned. Then the
president discovered that his watch,
which was present from his royal
master, was missing. He lamented
and invited his colleagues to replace
his watch, but there was no response.
He reminded them that the door was
locked, and the watch must be in pos
session of one of them. He next put
each member on his word of honor to
say that he had not got it; which
little performance was promptly got
through. The president then remark
ed that the situation had become en-
barrassing; but as he wished to make
things easy for the culprit, who had
doubtless yielded to temptation in a
moment of weakness, he would order
the lights to be again extinguished in
order to give him an opportunity of
restitution. This was done; and
when the lights were turned on, the
president found that not only had he
no watch, but that he had also lost
his silver Extraordinarily Fair.

How To Keep Health.

One Of the best ways to keep in
good health is not to think or worry
too much about it. If you feel strong
and well, don't imagine that some in
sidious disease may be secretly attack
ing your constitution. Many people
are like the inexperienced traveller
who anxiously inquired about the
symptoms of seasickness, and how he
should know when he had it. One
generally knows when he is sick, and
frequently many supposedly alarming
symptoms prove, upon investigation,
to be either perfectly natural occur
rences or of very slight importance.
Eat and drink what you desire, as
long as it agrees with you. Your
stomach knows pretty we'll what it
can digest. Plain, simple food is
desirable, as general thing, but the
luxuries of the table, in moderation,
will do no harm. -
Alcoholic beverages are not fit for
habitual use. They are true medi-
cines, and should only be used like
any other medicines-under the ad.
ivce of a physician. AS a regular
beverage they can do no good, but
will almost certainly do harm.
Take all the sleep you can get, bu,
remember that the necessary amount
varies greatly for different reasons
Some must sleep at least nine hours
while others thrive under six. Only
don't rob yourself of what you really
need. The midnight oil" is a terri.
bly, expensive illuminant to burn either
for purposes of labor or study.
Always treat a common cold with
great respect. Ninety.nine times out
of a hundred it will get well anyway
but the hundredth cold, if neglected
may lead to bronchitis, pneumonia or
consumption. 1t is best to take nc
such chances.
If you are sick enough to need any
medicine at all, beyond the simple
remedies familiar to all, you are sick
enough to need the attendance of 6
physician.
BY all means take as much exercise
as you can, and be in the open air al
much as possible. Outdoor life is the
natural condition of mankind, and
the more one can have it the better.
Fresh air, sunlight, good and suf
ficient food, pure water, outdoor exer-
else, temperance in all things, and a
cheerful disposition, are the chief
remedies in natures dispensatory, and
are worth more than all the drugs
and medicines of the shops. DR..
Holmes has truly said that if nine
tenths of all medicines, patent, pro-
prietary and otherwise, in the world
were poured into the ocean, it would
be all the better for mankind and all
the worse for the fishes and the best
physician can do little without good
nursing, and thus aid nature in throw
ing off disease. Bulletin.

TO BE CONTINUED.
Be Careful in Your Exercises


A careful observer in the gymnasia
of the athletic clubs, can scarcely help
reaching the conclusion that many
young men get more harm than bene-
tit, either because OF an injudicious Sc
lection of their mode Of work or by
reason of carrying it beyond rea-
sonable limit. Lifting heavy bells is
almost a mania with large class of
amateurs, though one might search
the town in vain to discover q single
case OF a professional acrobat using a
bell Of more that one or two pounds
weight. Add to bell-lifting Various
other labors of an exhausting nature,
heavy work, it is called designed to
abnormally develop the arm and
chest muscles without the adjunct of
running and jumping and bar work,
which adds so greatly the wanted
elasticity. The effect of this heavy
work on the vital organs, especially in
the case of those not used or bred to
violent exercise, is noticeably injuri-
Gus. Some lose their color and be-
come sallow, some grow pale, and
take on a tired, overworked express
sion, while not a few get sprains which
force them to lie off for longer or
shorter periods.

A Street Sophia.

recall now that vast band of stag
nant dust leading from the station to
the town, separated from itsurround-
ing monotony by sundry depressions
along the line by the excavated debris
which fringed it's edges; with a double
row OF infant trees marking it's curb
lines, each one of which was shriveled
to a crisp by the blistering heat.
Added to this mockery, at regular
intervals stood flower beds in ovals,
and diamonds, and circles, filled with
plants burned to a cinder, their very
blossoms, which no man had dared
pluck, dead for months, and still
standing brown and dust begrimed
Such is the great boulevard leading
from the railway to the palace!
Moreover, these particular adorn-
ments were not made at q season
when it might have been possible to
have justified their existence, but in
the beginning of the hot season and
during the continuance of a drought
which lasted four months. Indeed,
many prominent oppositionists did
not hesitate to say, and say openly,
that the haste with which these So
called Improvements were carried out
was due as much to theunsettled con-
dition of public affairs as to any thing
else, and that the old adage ofmaking
hay while the sun shone had a double
meaning in this case.-Hopkinson

SILENCE AND SOLITUDE.

Gods of the DESERT Ye are they
We shun from childhood's earliest breath;
Our passing joys are but your prey;
Ye wait the hours from birth to death.
Over soft lawns where blossoms sleep,
Under warm trees where love was born,
see your naughty shadows creep, ~.
And wait to meet we there forlorn.-
Afar on ancient sands we rest,
Carven in stone, where ancient thought
Wrapped We in terrors- shapes unblest,
Dreadful, By might of ages Wrought.
But not alone on Egypt's shore
Sleeps the great desert; everywhere
Where gladness lived and lives no more,
There is desert Of despair.
Strange messengers! Your brows of gloom
Haunt every creature born of earth;
Ye follow to the dark ened room;
Ye watch the awful hour of birth,
Ye show the lovely wayside rose,
Whose antique grace is born anew,
To eyes Of grief. Grief only knows
How tender is the sunsets hue
Gods of the desert! By your hand
Through the sad waters are we brought
Into high and peaceful land
To drink of fountains else unsought.
