the use of this worldfamous remedy,
countless men and women have saved
themselves from nervous prostration.
The cares of large families do not
stop when the day is over. There IS
incessant anxiety, wakefulness and
concern for some member of the house
hold. II is no wonder that so many,
especially women, break down under
the crushing weight Their very love
and pride keeps them always at work.
They "liye on their nerves." as the
saving is, till there comes time when
flesh and blood can stand it no longer.
It is simple thing for them to KEEP
we'll and strong if Paine's celery com
pound is straightway used at the earl

dragged outs feeling is soon entirely
removed There will be no neuralgia,
no persistent headaches, no dyspepsia,
no haunting pain over the eyes, n'
nervous exhaustion when Paine's eel
cry compound is used. 1t makes PEG

PERFUME FROM POTATOES.

Not the Kind Peculiar to the Hashery
There is one odorous essence in very
common use, said an indianapolis ply
stefan recently, Of which the majority
Of people know nothing whatever
This is potato ether, distilled from po-
tato spirit. No one would suppose
that humble vegetable capable of
yielding perfume. Yet it does yield
three, and very good ones they are.
They go by the names of pear, apple
and grape oil, from g. resemblance be-
tween their odors and these fruits.
Confectioners use them largely to per-
fume their finest candies. Chemistry
tells some queer stories about per-
fumes. 1t is found that the sole con-
stituents of juniper oil, the otto ct
rosemary and that of lemons and tur-
pentine are really the same, seven parts
carbon, with one of hydrogen. We
cannot combine these substances SO as
to form any one Of the perfumes men
toned, nor explain why, with the same
constituent parts, they exhale odors so
different. Eau de cologne, which won
fame and wealth for not only a family,
but a city, is really indebted to the
orange for most of it's charm, there be-
ing four different perfumes distilled
from it which are used as ingredients
in eau de cologne.

THE END or BOOKS.
E1imsiaess Of tho Materials Now Used II
Their Construction.

F1imsiaess OF the Materials Now Used IN
Their Construction.
It has been pointed out by Nd. Delisle,
librarian Of the Biblotheque Rationale,
that paper is now made of such inferior
materials that it will soon rot, and
very few of the books now published
have the chance of a long life. The
books of the present day will all have
fallen to pieces before the middle of
next century. The genuine linen rag
paper was really calculated to last,
and even the oldest books printed on it.,
if kept with due care, show very little
Of the effect of time; but the wood
pulp paper now largely used, in the
making of which powerful acids have
been employed, is SO flimsy that the
very ink corrodes it, and time alone,
with the most careful handling, will
bring on rapid decay.
Perhaps, says All the Year Round,
from one point of view this is not alto
gether au unalloyed misfortune. Only
remnants of present day literature
will survive for the information of
future generations; and great national
collections, such as that in the british
museum library, formed at great ex-
pense, and intended to be complete and
permanent, will offer to the literary
historian of, say, the twenty-tirst
century, but a heterogeneous mass of
rubbish, physical laws thus consigning
to oblivion literature of which but a
1.-THE is intellectually worthy to sur
vive
The papernaker thus unwittingly as
sunes the function of the great liter
airy censor Of the age. His criticism is
mainly destructive, and it is too severe.
Without the power of selective app1e-
citation. he condemns to destruction
good and bad alike.

HEAT AND LIGHT.

Some Curious Facts Regarding Their Re-
lations to Each Other.
The rays of heat and light are quite
independent Of each other in their abil-
ity to penetrate different substances
For Illustration, glass allows the suns
heat to pass through as readily as it
does the rays Of light, and that with
out heating the glass, too. If the glass
is coated with lanpblack, however, the
rays Of light are arrested. but the heat
passes through as before, not a single
degrees difference in the latter phe-
nomenon being noticeable. Then,
again, both heat and light pass through
water providing it is clear. One Of the
oddities in this connection is this: AL
though the heat and light pass through
water in it's normal state, the addition
of little powdered alum (which read
lily dissolves without leaving the least
murkiness) will arrest the rays Of heat
to such an extent as to almost im1nedi-
ately raise the temperature of the wa
ter to perceptible degree, yet the
light continues to pass through as be-
fore.
Ice, like glass, also transmits both
heat and light. DR.. Sutherland, in
i"Observations Upon the Ice bergs Of
Bat1in's Bay" says: ''* # 4 Several
pieces of granite were found deeply inn
bedded in ice, without any conlnuni-
cations with outside air. These were
surrounded with what might be termed
an atmosphere of water" The expla-
nation of such an oddity is this: The
neat passing through the ice has been
absorbed by the store until their tenn
perature has been raised to a degree
Sufficient to melt the ice around them

NEARER TO THEE"

They were singing, sweetly singing,
And the song melodiously
On the evening air was ringing:
"Nesrer, 0 my God, to Thee!'
In my eyes the tear drops glistened
AS it stirred the twilight dim,
Aud wondered as listened
Ii Il brought me nearer Him.
Were they like the wanderer, weary,
Song snd life in sweet accord,
Resting in the darkness dreary
III the nearness to the Lord?
Had His spirit ever sought them,
To be sighted or denied?
Had that dear song ever brought them
Closer to the Savior's side?
I have heard its music often,
Felt it's meaning deep and sweet,
And my wesry heart would soften
Singing at my Masters feet.
Nearer Tbee''-oh, precious feellng!-
Nearer Thee in gain and loss;
Nearer Thee when I am kneeling
In the shadow Of Thy cross.
Nearer Thee when love, descending,
Falls in blessing on my head;
,Nearer Thee when am bending
DER the grave that hides my dead!
Nearer Thee in Joy, in sorrow.
Ills the same Where'er I roam;
Nearer Thee today, tomorrow,
Oh my King, my Christ, MY Home!
FRANK L. STANTON, in Songs Of q Day
