What Is The Carat.

The carat being the universal standard
Of weight aud size for the diamond,
few remarks on this unit of the measure
may be found useful, says a writer in
the Toronto Mail. The original mean
ing of this term has afforded subject for
controversy. Nave asserts that the
clrat is an Indian denomination OF
weight, 1874 carats being equal to one
ounce Troy. But the carat. which is
Greek word from xeration, the fruit of
the locust tree, aud Of a species OF
vegetable, the seeds OF which, running
very uniform, furnished natural weights
for estimating the value OF small and
precious articles to the Orientals, just as
barley grains afford the units OF weights
and measures to the Europeans, could
not have been originally used as de-
nomination of weight in India, where
the ratio seems TO have been the most
general, though not uniform standard.
It auctuated in different times and
places between 1.S6 aud 2.25 grains,
whereas the carat has the advantage OF
being very nearly constant factor
everywhere. It is equivalent to four
grains avoidupoi', i've of which are
equal to four grains Troy, so that one
carat is equal to 3.174 grains Troy and
1914 carats to one English ounce.

Hints on the Cara Of the Eye,laht.

DR.. l.. Webster Fox closed his i'm.
portant lecture on the eyesight, by some
iniunctions which should be carefully
preserved. These golden rules number
half score and are AS follows: Avoid
sudden changes from dark to brilliant
light; avoid the use Of stimulants a1d
drugs which affect the nervous system
avoid reading when lying down or when
mentally and physically exhausted; when
the eyes feel tired rest them By looking
at objects at a long distance; pay special
attention to the hygiene of the body, for
that which tends to promote the general
health acts benefciaily upon the eye; up
to forty years of age bathe the eyes twice
daily with. cold water; do not depend
upon your own judgment in selecting
spectacles; old persons should avoid
reading much by artificial light; be
Guarded as to diet aud avoid sitting up
late at night; after fifty bathc the eyes
morning and evening with water so hct
that YOU wonder how you stand it; fol-
low this with cold water, that will make
them glow with warmth; do not give up
in DESPAIR when informed that a cataract
Is forming; remember that 10 these days
of advanced surgery it can De removed

specimen room of the University of

provided a half million OF similar sized
specimens with a hive in which to store

in exciting your curiosity further-he
never gathered honey; never "improved
each shining hour" in fact, he never
had hours to improve! He is made OF
papier-mache aud is so constructed that
every part of his body can be disarticu-
lated for study. This, the giant OF the

Gus French sartifcer, who spends his
time making gigantic worms, gnats,
bees, flies, etc, for the eeneHt OF

The university mentioned has two other
specimens of his work, huge snail and
eech, each as large in proportion as the

Curious Tricks of Memory,

which the other boy labored to learn,

MIS- UNDE RSTOODI

What inward pain we sometimes feel
When we have been misunderstood
How doth affections warmth CONCEAL
When i'll intents coin'd out Of good?
How many bleeding hearts there are
Whose greatest bliss was doing gool,
Yet for their love receiv'da scar
From dearest friend-misun ierstool!
When death hath c,os'd the eyes OF one
Whose heart beat ever for our gooi,
How sad to know their setting sun
Was dimm'd by s-misunderstool!
lis then we feel the pain We gave
A parent, friend or neighbor gooi,
And grief o'erwhslms us like a wave
Too latel too late-nisanierstoo1!
Obi could we but live DER thu past,
And weave our web Of life olcs mo-e.
Glad rays of sunshine would be cast
Where doubt and darkness reign'd before
Hope is not dead Present lives!-
Let US redeem it as we should;
The flowers that's crusAd more fragrance
gives
Than had it livei-misuaierstool
But One there is who never fails
To read the heart of man Alright
Though toss'd on life's tempestuous gales
God will sustain us by His might.
Let all our aims in life be pure
Men may misjudge-still cling to good;
AT last the victory shall be sure,
And we shall then be-understoodl

The old man heard their voices and
came to the door. How those children
danced and shoutedl They got hold of
both of his hands aud his coat, and,
with merry uyhter, pulled him across
the lawn to his favorite tree. Tnen every
little tongue became still, as though
waiting for him to speak. He looked
at the picture before him. There, be-
meath the of blossoms, stood little
girl, looking up at him with a face lit
up with smiles. She held out to him
baby. Scarcely knowing what he did
he took the child from her arms into his
own, aud covered its tiny face with
kisses. He looked round about him,
not knowing what to do or whittier to
turn, but his lips were muttering one
name.
Again the children took hold OF him
and pulled him along the path toward
the wicket gate. They opened it, and the
woman was still standing there, her pale
face now flushed, her once dim eyes
brighter still.
"Marion Marion !" the old man cried.
She fell on his shoulder, with her arms
about his neck. Just then the school
bell rang out, and away the children ran
up the hill, their voices shouting all the
way, "Many happy returns of the day,
grandfather. many happy returns of the
day"
The old man, caressing the child as
he carried it close to his breast, VITA
his daughters arms still clinging to his
neck, walked up the pathway. The bud
on the rose tree seemed to peep out
from all the other crimson blossoms.
They entered the house together

Writing On Wood.

Some persons are OF the opinion that
the first writing was upon thin pieces OF
wood. From their convenience this
seems probable. Such boards were used
at an early period by the Greeks and
Romans, and were frequently covered
with wax, which was, Of course, more
easily written upon than the bare wood.
Where wax was used errors were readily
erased by rubbing with the blunt end OF
the piece Of metal which served for a
pen. To make the writing more visible
1t appears that some black substance was
smeared over the surface OF the white
wax and remained in the scratched
marks.-New York World.

of them are printed in English. German

In the Unite States the number OF
daily papers now published is just about
fifteen hundred. This is the greatest
number in any one country. Germany
