LITERARY LABOR.
Value of Early Rising and Danger of
OyerworkIng.

Value of Early Rising and Danger of
OyerworkIng.
To make literary work healthy is a
simple process, depending on the mode
in which each day is allotted to it, and
also on the mode in which the body is
physically trained and disposed to
carry it out, writes Sir b. W. Richard
son in the Asclepiad. The first grand
point is to begin the day well by early
rising. The universal experience of
the wisest men of all ages is in favor
of the habit of getting up early in the
morning. The practice is closely con-
nected with length of life. 1t is also
closely connected with happiness and
activity of life. With the early hours
of the morning literary work is always
most frIitfully associated, when the
habit Of early work is once acquired.
Thoughts are freshest then; the ar
rangement of thoughts is clearest
then; memory is keenest then. ThU j
thought method and memory conspire
together, and labor becomes pleasure
Make tho sun your fello~-workman
In the work OF the day of the literary
life nothing Is 80 wholesome as to
carry out tho work without strain.
There is always some little difficulty in
getting into harness, but, this mas
tered, work becomes essy enough

Those That Sing the LoveIiest Songs Are
othe Dingiest in PIums &c.
l. is noteworthy that in al st every
race and climate the colors of noctur-
nal animals are dingier and gloomier
than those of their diurnGl allies and
representatives says the Cornhill Mag
azine. This difference is due, of
course, to sexual selection, which can
not exert itself upon colors or spots in
the darkness. The butterflies, for ex-
ample, are beautifully arrayed; their
night-hying cousins, the moths, are
dull-gray or whitish.
Day birds are often declzed in bril-
sSnt hues, like pheasants, toucans,
oeSSaws and sun birds; the owls and
L - lars, on the contrary, are dull

One way exists, however, in which
nocturnal animals may make an effect

that is the system of phosphorescent

that an unusually large proportion of
nocturnal animals have musical voices
or make loud love calls.

Wherever there's smoke there's fire

verse does not always hold good, for
there may be fire without smoke, or at

In Berlin, according to the New

and fitted with an induction apparatus
like those used in petroleum-fred fur

by jet of steam or compressed air.
The combustion chamber, which
takes the place of furnace, is provided
with two ertures. one in the center

tion of the tSssl fire-hole door, while
the other, on she opposite side of the

with the quantity of dust required
to produce the necessary heat. The
air or steam and dust are intimately
mingled in the zone of combustion,
while the speed of the current, which
has served as u vehicle for the dust, is
much reduced. Each particle of fuel
held in suspension is by this method
brought into such close contact with
the oxygen necessary for its combus-
ton that this combustion is so com
plete as to allow of practically no
