Is Life Worth Living

If there is an individual on earth who is excusable for thus Interrogating himself, it Is the unhappy mortal who suffers from malaria in some one of Its diabolical forms. This Is no difficult conundrum, however. Life Is worth living by any man or woman who enjoys good health, and Is not harrassed by a reproachful conscience. The malarial scourge, heavily laid on. Is a terrible one for the poor sufferer to endure.

Diseases of Miners.

As to whether there are any disease* peculiar to tlie miners' calling there is evidence that, with one, or perhaps two, exceptions, there are none such. These exceptions are an affection of the eye, termed "nystagmus," and. in a lesser degree, that disease of the respiratory organs wbic^j usually goes by the name of miners' asthma. Nystagmus, ..although not a prevalent affection, is one with well marked symptoms directly traceable to the posture of the collier while qt work.

The symptoms are oscillation with more or less of a rolling motion of the eyeballs, giddiness, with headache, and the appearance of objects moving in a circle, or lights dancing before the eyes.

In severe cases the person affected may stumble and be so much inconvenienced as to be obliged to stop work. Dr. Simeon Snell of Sheffield has given this disease special attention for about 20 years and has published the results of his investigations, which show beyond all reasonable doubt that nystagmus is confined almost entirely to those nnderground workmen who are engaged ill holing

Artists' Failures.

"Do not, let me beg of you, be afraid of so called failures," said a well known artist addressing his class. "They are only stepping stones to success, the premiums we all must pay for experience. I may say, without vanity, that I have been fairly successful in my profession, aud yet to one canvas that succeeded there have been as many as 40 which I have scraped down with my palette knife in disgust. Even if a student never succeeds, his very failures may be noble."

It is not only to art that this exhortation might apply. In every career, in every walk in life, the same point of view should be taken. Failures are not failures really—they are lessons they are stepping stones. They should not be associated for a moment with despondency or hopelessness. Just as a child tumbles and picks himself np as a matter of course and runs gayly on, so should we children of a larger growth regard the ups and downs of life, never losing courage, however often we tumble. Young people especially should be taught that it is not always success to succeed and that disappointments should be taken philosophically. The idea of a booby prize in games is a good one. There are many prizes in life for those who apparently fail, and even in worldly matters the last shall be first and the first shall be last in nine cases out of ten.—New York Tribune.

First Person Photographed. It was in 1842 that John Draper, then a professor in the University of New York, made the first portrait photograph. The subject was Elizabeth Draper, his sister. Professor Draper had the idea that in order to produce distinct facial outlines in photography it would be necessary to cover the countenance of the person photographed with flour. This seems a strange notion now, aud it proved not. to l.e a pood one then, for all of Professor Draper's early utteinpts were failures. Finally be left off the flour and then was quite successful. This so delighted him that he sent the picture to Sir William Herschel, the eminent English astronomer. Sir William was in turn delighted and made known Professor Draper's success to the scientific men of Europe. He also sent. Professor Draper a letter of acknowledgment and congratulation, which has been carefully preserved in the archives of the Draper family.

Cruel, but Necessary.

The Eskimos dread the winter and take early precautions to provide against famine. As the season approaches the great herds of reindeer migrate southward, and the walrus or the seal are all that remain for food.

When an in wiud is blowing, the walrus is easily found on the outer edge of the ice packs. When it is blowing off the shore, however, the ice packs sail out to sea with the walruses on them. The natives then class their numbers in a list from the strongest to the weakest. The food that is in store is divided up, the weakest having the smallest quantity, the strongest the largest. Thus the mightiest hunters have strength to provide for the others.

It is a cruel system, but, nevertheless, a necessary one. If all were weak, all would die if some are strong, they will save many of the weak.

Anticipating the Otwequy.

A poor man lay dying, and bis good wife was tending him with homely but affectionate care. "Don you think you could eat a bit of something, John? Now what can I get for you?"

With a wan smile be answered feebly: "Well, I seem to smell a ham a-eooking somewhere*. I think 1 could do with a little bit of that." "Oh, no, John, dear," she answered promptly, "you can't have that. That's for the funeral."—London Telegraph.

It has been observed also in firemen and others who have occasion frequently to examine the roof, turning the eyes obliquely while doing so.

Making Parchment Paper.

The operation of manufacturing parchment papers such as are used for wrapping butter and other similar objects is a very interesting one. Parchment is produced directly from the raw paper web in practically one operation The sheet to be parchmentized is passed through sulphuric acid and then through rollers having a uniform action, which discharge the surplus aciat? the expressed liquid being returned to the tank or vessel. The paper is then carried and passed through a washing apparatus as a

tank, and also through sprays of water, being led and guided by rolls over which it passes, so that the free acid is washed off or removed as far as possible by mechanical washing. The sheet next passes through a bath of soda solution or alkali and then through nippers to express surplus alkali, which is returned to tbe bath. Then tbe paper is carried through an apparatus to be further washed with water. Next it is passed through a bath of bleaching material, as "bleach" or the like, then through further washing apparatus, again passed between presses and squeezed, and then finally it is passed through a bath of glycerin, after the passage through which the paper is wound upon a roller cr coiled up in a completed state of parch^ientization.— Paper Mill.

Story of Landieer.

Landseer, whose fine stag hunts in tbe highlands have been popularized by engravings, represents one of the most extraordinary examples of the irresistibleuess of the artistic vocation. I have seen a most magnificent dog of his, chained to his kennel and carried away by floods. The day when, an absolutely unknown artist, he exhibited this pioture at tbe Royal academy it attracted considerable attention, and a gentleman hurried off to the painter's to mako an offer to purchase it. He rang at the door of tbe small garden, and, on the wicket being opened, he saw a boy playing with a hoop with some other little fellows. He inquired of the children: "Docs Mr. Landseer live here?" "Yes," replied one of the youngsters. "When can I speak to him?" "New, if you like. I'm Mr. Landseer. "But," exclaimed the amateur, "it is your father I \vr.nt to see. I have called about a picture of his at the aoademy." "Well," said tbe child, "it is I who am exhibiting the picture."

He was then 14£ years old.—Henri Rochefort's Memoirs.

Gilded Beauties.

The eastern women, especially those in Turkey, paint their eyebrows with gilt paint, and at night tbe effect is very brilliant and oriental. When, by chance, a Chinese girl has eyes that are not quite so slanting as usual, she can safely lay claim to special beauty. Many Japanese women gild their teeth, while the beauties of the Indies stain theirs a brilliant red. Some of the Africans stain their teeth a jet black. Persian women pencil the outtr corners of their eyes to make them look almond shaped, which is considered an especial mark of beauty. The women in many oriental countries die their finger nails with henna, others let them grow to an enormous length.

The Discontented Woman.

A woman who was dissatisfied with her husband loudly petitioned Jove to stind her another. The god listened favorably to her petition and sent her a demigod. In less than a week the woman was bewailing her lot again, saying she never cared for mixed up goods anyhow, and that while the god half of her present husband might be all right the man half snored and chewed tofaoco. Jove, wearied by her ill humored persistency, took back tbe demigod and sent ber a man out of tbe "Yellow Book" for husband instead. Up to tbe present writing tbe lady fti question hasn't discotnred where sbe is at. Immoral.—Hysterics and art are only relatives by marriage.—Fables For the Times.

Temper.

Temper itself is not a bad quality. It is not to be destroyed, as we sometimes say. Without temper a bar of steel becomes like lead. A man without temper Is weak and worthless We are to learn self control. A strong person is one who has a strong temper under perfect mastery. There is a deep truth here—that our mistakes and onr sins, if we repent of them, will help in tbe growth and upbuilding of onr character.—Housewife.
