investigations of these societies, among
the members of which. were some of the
foremost •scientists of the times, it has
been proved that in a great number of
cases where every known test had been
•applied and preparations made for the
-burial the anbjeets heel recovered. These,
experiences led Professor Morino, of the
'University of Rome, to offer a prize of
1,500 francs for the best essay on appar-
ent death; and the 'Marquis d'Oucho left
211,000 francs to bo used in discovering. the
best means that could be applied hi de-
tecting the counterfeit of death. Ancl so

'subject aro startling, as revealing the
danger of premature burial."

doctor, "that this is a subject that peo-
ple should discuss, should be waked up
about?"
"What remedy have you • to offer,
'doctor?"
"Simply this: I hold—and it certainly
cannot be successfully contradicted—that
the setting in of decomposition is the
only certain sign of death. In the ab-
• sence of this burial should be delayed
weeks and months, if necessary, for so
long as there is no decay life may hang by

The daily life of the tea importer and

culated to give thein "old maidish" char-

When the wind is southerly they know a

are seveinl of the leading experts in the
Chicago tea houses who. endear them-
selees to a largo circle of friends every
year by sending with the regular orders
of. their houses a number of personal
odors for a few small packages- 'of &ape-
cial picking.
At the tea plantations these personal
orders are carefully filled with thochoio-
cst leaf and shipped hero with the bulk
'swims. As they usually pack the tea in
five pound boxes the salesman ordering it
can allow his chosen friends to have it in
convenient packages, and he disposes of
it at the importation price—sometimes
less. It is the nearest approaeh to the
fabled nectar of the gods imaginable, and
the drinker can almost feel a pigtail
growing out of the back of his head as he
sips it. It is too fine an article to bo sold
to the trade, as it must be retailed. at
$1,30 pr pound. to secure the retailer's
usual profit, but the privileged few who
.got it at the cost price bless the friendly

To Beep the Eyes neauaii.
• To have beautiful sightly eyes, wnnensb.•
have strong; 'sound ones, and avoid all
canses of harm. Never read;- write or
work with the light from a window in
front of the eyes. Artisans injure their
sight past recovery by working -at a bench
directly in font of a 'window, when. they
sliefuld bo placed with the back to it.
The light in front- falls intesthe ey,e„,
which contracts to lessen what it cannot
bear, with the invariable result of weak-
ened sig -ht.- Lamps, gas jots and student
damps are often placed, so near the head
a' to heat the oyes injuriously. The sim-
peest, shade stops this by making a current
of air between itself and the lamp. '
'I quote from Dr. Jeffries' highly Inter-
esting pamphlet on "Our Eyes and Our -
Industries„' Ile speaks; vory degidedly
on the injury to the eyes ef wood engrav-
ers in cutting from photographs on the
block, making the blurred and misty pict-
ures too familiar in papers and magazines.
The work is eheaper, but, oculists find,
most destructive to the eyes, and. the bet-
ter class ofaengravers either refuse -such
work or raise their pricesnearly double.
The wear and tear comes of looking con-
stantly from the photograph to the orig-
inal picture hung beforeet and continually
changing the focus of the eye. Lam glad
to know this has awakened attention, for
I know that looking at the soft, blurry
wood cuts is very trying to sensitive eyes.
So is the satiny, calendered paper which
certain publishers protest is necessary for .
fine impressions, although finer work is
done abroad 'upon. dull paper. me gloss
and glitter of much of the modern house
decoration injures the eye by the broken
reflections it is forced to ,moot on all sides.
Tho varnished. paint, the metallic flnish
of walls and fabrics, the breadth of plate

tive to goo•i sight. They may answer for

Bulgarians but oyes overtaxed like those

Phrenology with.11Iodifleations.
Dr. Clevenger, while assailing phre-
tology in its technical forms, has taken
strong grounds in The American Natural-
ist In favor of a. modified cerebrology. Ire
does not like bumpology, but believes that
the differences inheads moan. something,
and a very definite something pertaining
to charaeters. precisely as facial unlike-
nesses do. • "Wo now know that there
are centers in the brain of matt for the
Speech faculty, above the temple; and
that thence backward. and. upward to the
upper back,part of the head are arm and
leg centers; that auditory mental impres-
steam aro registeredin tho brain above tho
upper ear tip; and a center for visual
function is located in the occipital end of

'Slight Impurities in :Metals.
•
Tho astonishing changes that small
proportionsof foreign matter will produce
in metals tire not necessarily of small
practical importance, as very slight im-
purities 15, metals for certain purposes
might lead -to serious.consequences. Rob-
erts -Austin glycs two striking illustra-
tions of this possibility. A. small fraction
of bismuth in copper will reduce the elec-
trical conductivity sufficiently to cause
any submarine table made with it to
become a commercial failure, and the
message carryiug power of copper cables
is said, to have doubled since tho early
lays of telegraphy on account of the in
creased purity of the copper. Pure gold
has a breaking strain of from sixteen to
seventeen. tons to the square inch, but
when alloyed_ with but two-teuths of one
per cent. oe lead it will break with a
slight blow or under a trifling strain.—
