I I i i r 1" yAp av. ma 'Ad&oEtWely Pure MARBLINQ BOOKS. The Blow Old Process bj Which the Fane - Edgea Ara Mada. Almost ever since the flrnt booki were made the faHhion of marblelzlng the edgea of many of them hn been iu vogue. It used to be, however, that only the most expensive volumes those bound in foil calf and elaborately let teredhad their edges tbns gnrui"hed, but now such finishing is left, for the nost part, for ledgers, daybooks and I her blank books intondod for business ase. Though long before gilt edges were thought of the ornamenting of the plain white edges of books to imitate marble was popular, there has been little or no change In the process since its first in trodnotion. It is generally supposed that all such details have oome under the stamp of the bookmaker's art until there is noth ing left in thorn to remind one of thoir drat and earliest days, but not with marbling. As time has gone on the pop ularity of this method of embellishing paper has grown less. Consequently there has been no need to devise means J by which it could be more speedily done. There have been some improvements in the original methods, bnt most book binders still stick to the old way as good enough. Instead of books whizzing throngb machinery one after another and taking on their marbled edges in some mysteri ous manner, as might be supposed, each book is taken by hand separately and the leaves dipped, tightly held together, into the liquid that marks their edges with the many colored little veins, be- ' fore the oovera are put on. A trough about two inohes deep is filled with gnm water, on the surfaoe of which varioua colored pigments have been thrown and disposed in various forms with n comb and coarse wire teoth. The cans of liquid paint are ranged along the sides of the trough, and from them the paint is taken by dipping into them long, soft hairbrushes that are held over the water and allowed to drip. One color is put down right over the other, and the wide, conrpo comb drag ged through them. The books aro ex tremely dexterously dipped into the wa ter, and the colors adhering to their edgea are sot by dashing cold water over them. But one of the three edges at a time can be marblelzed and set up on end to dry before the book oan be ban died again for another dipping.

Tha Ducke Malta Over Blity-.li Miles an Hoar and Outfly tha Geese. Of all the migratory birds the Ameri can wild pigeon and black duck are well np toward the front as regard long and rapid flight. The speed of the pigeons can only be estimated, whila that of the duoks can be ontablinh(id hy observation. Some years ago the writer and a scien tific friend measured off on the shore of a large western river aline exactly three miles long, and each took a station at opposite cuds of the line. The object : was to note, by means of preconcerted , signals, the time a flock of wild ducks . took in passing up or down the river, near the stations. During three hours on the morning of a bright October day, observations were noted of the times of passing the ' stations of nine different flocks. (Jpon comparing watches it was found that the average time was 2 minutes and 43 seconds, thus showing the speed per j hour to be 00 miles, or one mile in 54 seconds. As showing how uniform was their flight, a difference was found of only five seconds between the greatest and the least intervals of time. As numerous flocks of wild geese - were daily flying iu the same neighbor , hood observations were also taken to test their hourly speed. Two points twenty- , nine and one-third miles apart wero so ieoted, both of which were oonuectod by ' telegraph. We succeeded iu identifying four out of seven flocks which passed over both places during the four days we were on the watch. The niauu hour ly speed was found to be a fraction over 04 miles. The Wild goose has been long supposed to be the swiftest of all water fowl, but this experiment shows that be . la far behind the wild duck. New York World.

Do not cavil nt this use of the word study. The proper development of the body is a most profound and important study one tho mure thorough master ing of which would do away with the necessity for more than half the doctor iug thut is now needed und reduce the number of hospituls nt leust one-third, No student is required, howovor, to take any part in the gymnasium work. Ev- ery ouo wliodoes is nrst cnreiuuyexum. iuod aud measured by J. W. Seaver, M. D. To every one who needs it Dr. Seav er gives a prescription curd upon which is written a diagnosis of the student's physical condition and needs. If his heart is weak, his liver torpid or his in digestion out of order, if his muscular development is iu any degree defective for ft person of his size, if there is in cipient curvature of the spine, if his eyesight or hearing is bolow the stand ard, the facts are stated u;xm tho card, togother with the treatment thut should bo uudergono for the rectification of the defect, the vurious entries ou tho card covering, in fact, the entire range of the perfect physical man. When, after mustering the card, the student understands his weaknesses, he is uoxt given a mnnunl of instruction propnred by sr H. S. Anderson, to whom the actual training is intrusted, and thou tho student is put through such a course of exercise ns experience shows is especially adapted to his case. For Instance, the student suffering from in digestion and dyspepsia is caused to take measures to strengthen the muscles of the stomach, sides aud abdomen. Among other things he is told to lie ou his buck stripped and raise his feet so that his legs shall be perpendicular 'without moving his head, body or urms iu any way Thou he is told to lie ou bis back us before and raise his head and body without lifting his feet from the floor or using his arms. Many per sons are greatly surprised ou trying ei ther of these for tho first timo to find it a well nigh impossible achievement. Of IIUOAIIKNINO THE CIIKST. course when this is the cose it is plainly evident that tho abdominal muscles are abnormally weak. Such weakness of it self is sufficient cause for dyspepsia or indigestion, and vigorous practice nt either of tho exorcises named will cer tainly and quickly improve the student's condition. If the reader is a sufferer iu this direction and bus any doubts of the efficacy of the prescription, let him try it and bo convinced, for it is quite as beneflciul to tho mmstudent as to tho young mun iu attendance at Yule. These exercises are not the only oues prescribed for stomach troubles, but they are all as simple, though some of them are best performed with the aid of apparatus of oue kind or another, and besides there are exercises for increasing the size of any muscle, for the relief of headache and norvousuess due to con tinued mental application, for increas ing or divreasing the weight, for devel oping the chest, etc., and all have been luid out aud systematized, aud all are prin t iced under thoroughly scientific conditions, siuce Dr. Seuver, already mentioned, who attends to the theory, aud Dr. H. H. Anderson, who looks aft er its practical application, are both reg ular physicians who have all the advan tages of careful training and long prac tice iu their present positions. Dr. Seaver ia especially expert at physical examination aud measurements, aud more than once has taken 60 measure ments in five minutes. The examination does not stop at mere measurements, however, important though they may be. It include everything, and iitudents who have been found by Dr. Seaver to be of defective hearing have been per manently relieved by the removal of fa-eign substance! from their ears. Poor eyesight has been tjvjxi and Improved. or cured, rupture lias Ihcu discovered and cured, or tho suffering Ntudeuts greatly benefited, and so on, Dr. H. 8. Anderson is assisted in his practical work by Dr. W. a. Anderson, his brother, and over Dr. Seaver and both the Andersons is Professor Kugeue Lamb Kichards, tho director of tlio gym nasium. Though he dis none of the actual gymnasium work, its present per fection is largely duo to his efforts, for it was Professor Richards who caused the raising of f liSO.OOO for the erection of the gymnasium building, and he is purhups the foremost authority on gym nastics aud athletics iu the country. He is extremely popular with the atudents, who always speak of him as the "sqnur est" man in tho faculty, and it is to him that they turn whenever a division not to bo upis'uleil from is wanted 011 uio disputed point in athletics. Of the gymnasium us uu institution it may be suid Hint it is the only oue uttnehed to any college in America where the work is organized ou so thorough nnd scien tific a basis as that which has been Ini-M-ifectly out lined in this article, (if the gymnasium's home It may bo said that it is a veritable palace, erected for the abode of physical cultuio. Tho visitor who niters this admirably devised building for the first time can not but be impressed by the simple splendor of the pure while marble floors and staircases that mnst be trod before the gymnasium proicr is reached. Aft erward this first impression is almost driven out of mind hy the completeness of all the appliances. . The baths, the rowing tanks and the offices are all un exampled iu their way, bnt tho main floor with its apparatus of every con ceivable sort for physical improvement lias uot its match anywhere. It is al most worth a special trip to New Haven to see the mailt floor of Yale's gymna- omen or uu. asukusox. sium at half past 4 iu the afternoon, when hundreds of students are at work at ouce under the general direction of tho two Andersons. Some of the boys will be busy building np the forearm, others broadening the chest, others strengthening tho muscles of the back, others swinging iu the rings, climbing ladders, etc It is still more interesting to see the entire floor full ut .work ad one exereisa Thou the firm, white virile legs and arms move iu unison in re spouse to signals from the elder Ander son, and the effect of uniformity is al most us pleasing as that of military evolutions by a particularly well drilled body of soldiers. The stylo of the building's exterior may be termed a "Renaissance applica tion of the Romanesque" ut least that's what I'm told. It is assuredly a hand some structure, though quiet and mod est in tone aud design. The swimming tanks nre lined with glazed tiles, the rooms ure constructed of Carrara marble and the Turkish buths adjoining the tanks ure fitted np as perfectly ns the gymnasium proper. The trophy room is to many persons the most attractive apartment in the pluce. There are Hugs, pictures, baseballs and all sorts of evi dences of athletio victories. The bowl ing alleys are in the bosomeut, and there is a big yard to the rear of the building and shielded from the street which is nsed for practice by the shot pnttors, tho hammer throwers, eto.

This is the only adornment of these walls, and it was .presented to tho gymnasium by Chauncey M. Dopew.

Why iu tho name of fortune do wo lot "these people" go on living? It is ridiculous; in n word, it is "maudlin sentimentality. " We nre glad to have a Mr. Poet to thrust these truths home. Wo have long looked for him; the world has been pining for him since the decease of the lute lamented Gradgrind. Lot us have facts, not Crinicun heroes. We should advise Mr. Poet to have the Crimean hero thrown out into the gutter, his proper place. Crimean heroes are cheap enough; we want more Poets.

Brief Reeuiue of tha Hlatorjr of Moat Mutable Roman Cathulle Inatltullpa of tha Higher Learning Its Plary New lllrth In 1S1. It was only CO yean ago that the Ro man Catholic University of Notre Dame i'h Lac Our Lady of tho Luke was ililislicd by the Rev. Edwiu 8. Sorln 1 u liOU acre tract of woodland border .ig tho St. Joseph river, in the northern part of Iiidiiiuu. It was at first bnt a 1 mull und struggling school, but now, It the half century mark, it is one of the most notable institutions of learning iu tho United States. The first move iu the direction of establishing Notre Dame, as by common consent it is now termed, was made in 1HII0 by the missionary father, Very Rev. 8. T. Bmlin, the flint Catholic priest ordained within tho boundaries of the republic. With a keener insight than that poKsessed by many others, he pur chased the beautiful tract mentioned from the government at 11.80 au acre with the notion thut there a great school should ultimately be located. Lator Fa ther Badin conveyed this tract, which hud come to lie knnwu as St. Mary's of the Lake, to the bishop of Vincennes. Iu 1X43 tho first steps iu the realiza tion of the educational scheme were taken, when tho prelate conveyed the property to Futher Sonu, on condition that a college should be established there within a certain time. This im- MAIN Ill'ILlMNO AT NOTRE DAMS. portant work could uot have been placed in more competent hands. Father Borin was a priest of the congregation of the Holy Cross, a missiouory nnd educa tional society founded in France late in tho eighteenth century, of .which a sta tion wus established in the diocese of Vincennes in 1 840 or thereabout. When Father Soriu and his associates, late in November, 1843, first looked npon the Bite of the future college, a headquarters for all the missions of what are now northern Indiana aud southern Michigan hud already been established at St Mary's of tho Luke. But despite this preliminary work the task before them was not an easy oue. To establish an institution of the higher learning is uot a lightsome labor even now, aud then it was vastly more diffi cult. The story of the slow upbuilding of the present splendid university is most nbsorbiug, but here it can only be indi cated, not told. The young college had no endowment, aside from the fee sim ple in the beautiful tract npou which it was situated, aud as yet this yielded no income, so that the only money received was the tuition foes of the few students. The devoted priests and teachers that made up its faculty were obliged to put np with almost innumerable privations, and it was not until 1844 that it was possible to hold regular commencement exorcises. It was in that year that the name was changed from St. Mary's of the Lake to the present titla It was in that year also the legislature of Indiana conferred npon it a regular charter as a nuiversity. Siuce that your the University of Notre Dame has progressed steudily. In 1879 it suffered what was at the time believed to be a most serious reverse, for, on April 28 of that year, five of the university's chief buildings were wiped out by fire, and with them invaluable libraries aud a great collection of scien tific apparatus and relics. But this fire did for Notre Dame what the Chicago fire did for the wonderful city on Lake Michigan. It marked the beginning of a more vigorous growth and a wider de velopment. It wits almost like a new birth. By the following September, so rupidly hud the recuperative powers of the institution worked, the magnificent contral building which forms the nu cleus of the present Notre Dame bad arisen on the April ashes, and the usual entrance of students took place. Every year during the 26 that have elapsed since then new buildings have been put up, and when it was decided to hold a golden jubilee of the institu tion ou Juue 1 1 and the two days fol lowing it wus seen that the guests of the university would be bidden to a celebration amid a cluster of handsome aud muguificent structures, almost like a town in extent aud fur exceeding the promise given a half century ago by the fow small buildings then standing. Of the beauties of Notre Dame, both natural and man made, columns might be written without exhausting the sub ject The university stands on an emi nence in the midst of a wide expanse of landscape, brightened by the silver sheen of the St Joseph river and the lake from which the institution took its first name and rendered additionally charming by sylvan stretches alternating with culti vated fields. The buildings are said tc be the most valuable owned by any col lege west of the Appalachian chain. They include, besides the main build ing, a chapel, which is really a magnif icent church, of bountiful architectural design und rich in treasures of religions art, an academy of music, science hall, institute of technology, eto. The course of study is very comprehensive, the fac ulty is made np of exceptionally able men, aud the scientific apparatus and li brary of 70,000 volumes are of the best The library is now domioiled in the main building, bnt will soon have a home of its own. The nuiversity now hits 02 instructors aud 625 stndouts. Soda Propelled Englnea. A tireless locomotive engine was re cently nsed on the Aix-la-Chapelle Julioh railway.

Chronicle. s Training an Aatae OlrU We are accustomed to think of .the people of ancient America as largely savage and with uone of the thoughts about conduct aud morals such as were held iu Europe. But here are a few ex tracts from a letter written by au Aztec or Mexican mother to her daughter be fore the conquest of Cotton. The exact date is not given, bnt Presoott quotes it from an early Spanish chronicle: "In walking, my daughter, gee thut yon behave becomingly, neither going with haste nor too slowly, since it js evidence of being puffed up to walk .too slowly, aud walkiug hastily cause a vicious habit of restlessness and insta bility. Therefore neither walk very faat nor very slow, yet wnen 11 siiau iw necessary to go with haste, do so; iu this use your discretion. And when yon may be obliged to jump over a pool of water, do it with decency, that yon may uoither appear clumsy nor light When yon ore in the street do not carry your bend much inclined or yonr body bent, nor as little go with your head very much raised, since it is a mark of ill breeding ; walk erect and witn yonr head slightly inclined. Walk through the street quiotly aud with propriety. Another thing that yon must attend to, my daughter, is that when yon are in the street you do uot go looking hither aud thither,' nor turning your head to look at this and that; walk neither looking at the skies nor on the ground. Do not look npon those whom yon meet with the eyes of au offended person, nor have the appearance of beiug uneasy. See, my daughter, that yon give your- self no concern .bont the words jou may hear in going through the street, nor pay any regard to them. Take fare thut yon neither answer nor speak, bnt act as if yon neither heard nor under stood them" Brooklyn Eagle. Baa Joints In Hla Mote. A few months siuce a man who had had his uose bitten off in a street fight applied to the authorities of the' great West End hospital, Loudon, requesting them to "graft" the nose of a corpse upou his face. This they refused to do, telling him that if he escaped blood poisoning from the effects of such an operation the dead flesh would "slough off" nnd make the job a fuilure. Final ly they did attempt to affix an amputat ed finger to the place where the persist ent young man's nose had formerly been, but the severed member had be come cold and lifeless before the .opera tion could be finished and the "graft failed to set" As a last resort the surgeons suggest ed that one of the patient's own Augers should be cut off and fashioned into a nasal appendage. But in order that the finger should not be lost in the event of the operation proving unsuccessful, the putieut had his arm incased in plaster, aud for four weeks held his mutilated finger to his fuce with a hope that it would "take root" and thus furnish a basis for a new nose.
