THE ANGEL'S BONG.
It came upon the midnight clear,
That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold;
"' Peace on earth, good.will to men
From Heaven's All-gracious King."
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing.
Still through the cloven skies they come,
With peaceful wings unfurl'd,
And still their heavenly music floats
O'er all the weary world.
Above its sad and lowly plains
E They bend on hovering wing.
And o'er its Babel sounds
Tt e blessed angels sing.
i, But with the woe of sin and strife
The world has suffered long;
' Beneath the angel strain have roll'd
Two thousand years of wron ;
And man, at war with man, hears not
The love-sons which they bring;
Oh! hush the noise, ye men of strife,
And hear the angels sing!
' And ye, beneath life's crushing load,
Whose forms are bending low,
L Who toll'd along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow,
Look now I for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing;
Oh! rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing!
For lo! the days are hastening on
The prophet-bards foretold,
When with the ever-circling years
Comes 'round the age of gold;
When peace shall over all the earth
Its ancient splendors fling,
And the whole world send back the song
Which now the angels sing!

PROGRESS OF THE NORDENSKJOLD ARTIC l
EXPEDITION-GOING BEYOND ALL OTHER
EXPLORERS. I
A third report has been received from t
rhe Nordenskjold Artic Expedition, dated *
August 27th, at the mouth of the Lena, r
August 9th, the exped"ion left Dickson's a
Harbor, and August 11th it passed Cape C
Sterlegoff, the farthest point ever reached r
by a vessel. The voyage now became very ll
difficult, the maps proved utterly deficient, 1
numerous islands were met with not set
down in the maps, and the coast line was
in various places drawn fifty miles wrong. i
Snow storms and dense mists set in, and at i
times the ice blocks closed so firmly around 0
the vessels that all progress was stopped. a
Nevertheless, the voyage did not lack in ti
points of great charm ; especially was the
paesage through Tairnyr Sound enchant- e0
ing. The sea was nearly clear of ice, and ti
the dark-green waters lay as smooth as G
glass. The midnight sun hung low over i'
the horizon, and all the cliffs and castles of b;
ice stood colored blue, purple and crimson
white. Over this scene lay a stillness A
which sent a man's voice miles and miles b
and miles away, and the scratch of the h
bears walking over the ice blocks was heard ti
far off. August 19th the expedition pass- w
ed Cape Tacheljuskin, the northermost tip
puIpR or Asla, Saul slan Jsitnorb s~nw-@l..d .it
was saluted with five shots. In this Bay be
of Tscheljuskin the vessels anchored. re
Some hunting was done, and a mound of tit
stones was built, in which was deposited a
cheat containing a report of the progress of w'
the expedition. Then following the belt ch
of ice which here surrounds the coast of di
the continent, the vessels arrived on Au- of
gust 27th in the mouth of the Lena. One in
of them ran up the river to Jakootsk, and
thus the expedition continued eastward se
toward the Strait of Behring, "and within 'te
two months we hope to be in Japan." th

A WONDEBFPUL LITEE3Y FEAT.
THE LATE BAYARD TAYLOR'S REMARKA
BLE CAPACITY AS A WRITER.
The following extract is taken from a
published interview with Mr. John Hay,
which appears in a late issue of the Cleve
land Leader :
His reputatfon for performing remarka
ble literary achievements has often been
remarked upon.
And the remarks are true. He could do
more, I think, in a ahort space of time than
any other man I ever knew. He would, if
required, write a whole page of the Tri
bane in a day. His review of Dr. Schlie
man's first book, written from the advance
sheets, was remarkably full, and gave such
a good idea of the work that it was almost
unnecessary to read the work itself. He
had a peculiar gift at condensing matter
and still retaining every point -which, the
author made; perhaps his greatest feat in
this line was. aphieved upon Victor Hugo's
poems. They arrived in New York on a
eortain morningand the next morning he
published ne.may a page review of the
work, with several claumns of metrical
traislatiei4oAose as $nely thatall the orig

Blaldag With Wire.
There is a determined effort being made
by millers in the great milling States of the
west to use every means in their power to
have the use of wire done away with in the
binding of grain. The feeling against this
means of binding has been a growing one,
and to our mind, the evil, undoubtedly a
very serious one to millers, has been aggra
vated by the want of care among many
threshers and farmers in working threshing
machines.
The Prairie Farmer long ago called at
tention to the disabilities that must result
to the grain and also to the straw, when the
wire was allowed to be passed through the
thresher with the sheaves, and advised that
the greater care be used in clearing the
wire bands from the sheaves before feeding
into the machines.
It is claimed that not only does it mingle
with the straw, and so, eaten by stock,
causes serious trouble, but it enters the
bran after being further ground by the
stones, and is highly dangerous when fed
to stock. This is, however, an et parte
claim. That the wire in the wheat is a se
rious detriment to milling, so far as the
stones and the sifting bolts are concerned,
there is no doubt, yet we think that a care
ful examination will show that the wire is
more apt to be rolled or twisted up in pass
ing between the stones and cast out than
it is to be ground fine. We think the ac
tion of the Minnesota millers in their reso- i
lution that the price of wheat be degraded i
ten cents per bushel under corresponding
grade in purchase of any wheat containing j
wire, to be obnoxious in the extreme.
The damage to the grain for millers' use
could never, under any ordinary event. t
amount to anything like the price stated,
and a fair inferenne is that the Minnesota
millers have prescribed this acute remedy
with a view to driving wire binding ma
chinery out of use. This they never will c
do until the twine or other binders may be
made to work fucceessfully. It may indeed b
act badly for the millers of the state, by n
causing the best grades of wheat to be car
ried out of the State for milling, for it is an n
undisputed fact that millers are by no a
means unanimous in their ideas as to wire Ii
bound grain being a fatal objection. It is
simply bosh this talk about the wire bind- *
ing being destructive and death-dealing. It
is all very well for the millers' association a
of any State to recommend the discontinu
ance of wire binders. That it is detrimen
tal to the milling interest there is no doubt.
It should be no more difficult for milling
engineers to invent the means for taking
the small wire out of wheat left in the pro
cess of ordinary cleaning than fo inventors n
to perfect the means of automaticbinding hi
by wire.
At the late session of the Illinois Millers'
Association, the subject of wire binders was t
brought up. The secretary stated that he h
had been requested by the Millers' Associa
tion of Minnesota to bring the question of
wire binders to the notice of this associa. lh
tion; that vast damage resulted to mill at
Saio . si.dang wheat whik had.(d !t
been bound with wire. In response to this
request he presented the following resoln.- w
tion: dr
Resolved, That we consider the use of scJ
wire binders as injurious to our mill ma
cbinery, and that we strongly recommend a to
discontinuance of the wire binders in favor th.
of cord or other binders that will work no qu
injury to our machinery. ti
The discussion which followed did not
seem to show that any especial amount of
terror was exhibited by Illinois millers over tU
the wire question. The subject was dis- of
cussed in a somewhat earnest manner. Sev- of
eral members showed pieces of wire taken
from different machines, and said they had
found pieces of wire in the wheat in the fen
bins, in the chaff, and in the flour and bread, erg
but they did not seem inclined to say they the
would degrade wire bound wheat ten cents P
per bushel. In conversation with a gentle- -
man largely interested in wheat raising pa
near St. Louis, he said that the millers im
about there made no difterence in the price vei
of wheat on aesount of its havinw h ns
Or wneat on acsoont ot its having been
bound with wire.
The Wisconsin Millers'Assooistion, which
lately convened at Milwaukee, seem not to
have been badly scared over the wire ques
tion. They passed a resolution in relation
to Fife wheat, which may be of interest to
the farmers of that State, requesting all
millers to fuanish-farmers with Fife wheat,
that the quantity of hard wheat raised mad
be increased.
The gist of the whole matter lies in a
nutshell. Where labor is as scarce during
the harvest as it is in Minnesota and other
western States, the farmers will bind with
wire until other economical means is given
them. No one State controls the price of
wheat in the markets of the country or of
the world. If the great wheat fields of the
-est should be obliged to go back to the
old system of binding by hand, the crop
-would rot in the fields and the west would
'losethe supremacy as the wheat granary of
the world. There Iae a number of feasible
plans which might be suggested for ridding
the wheat of wire. One is water and sub
sequenZbaring. This would seem, consid

STUDYING ART PROM LIVING MODELS IN
WASHINGTON.
Washington Poet.
It is not generally known that there has
been formed in this city a class of young
artists who are studying from living mod
els. The attempt made last winter to car
ry into execution an idea of this kind was
only partially suacessful, but through the
energetie efforts of E. Clarence Meseer, the
President of the club, the plan has received
a promisng inauguration. The class was
formed dfew weeks ago, and rooms were
rented in the Young Men's Christian Asso
ciation bpilding. These were fitted up in
a suitabip manner and at some expense.
Gas lights were arranged around the room
so as to throw the best light upon the
easels of artist students,and at the same
time to off the model to the best ad
v .necessary improvements
wire ..mp [t weerkl; id the class at
once took possession of its rooms. They
had worked only two nights when the Y.
M. C. A. seemed to have become enlighten
ed as to what the artists were doing, and,
IN HOLY HORROR
At having naked figures exposed in their
building even for the purposes of art, im
mediately served notice upon the club, who
were forthwith compelled to vacate. They
have now secured rooms in the St. Cloud
building, at the corner of Ninth and F
streets, where they hope to study and paint 1
unmolested. A reporter of the Post inter
viewed yesterday George W. Forsberg, a
well-known artist and a member of the 1
club, from whom some interesting facts I
were gained concerning the purpose of the I
organization and about the living models. i
"How many members has the club ?" 1
" We are now about twenty," was the
reply. "They are all young men, who
have painted from life in London,Paris and a
Berlin while abroad and who wish to con- I
tinue their studies at home. You know
that last winter we formed such a club
here, but it was not very well known, and I
we had but few members." t
"How do you obtain your models ?"
"We have a committee which is appoint
ed to select them. Of course anybody and t
everybody will not do, for we must' have
only those whose forms are perfect in every c
particular. Applicants for the position are r
examined by the committee, and if they a
suit they are at once engaged."
"But do you not have some difficulty in
getting applicants ?" i
" We have no more trouble here in Wash
ington than we would have in New York or
Philadelphia. In those cities there are c
men and women who are trained for this c
work and are models by profession, but c
here nothing of the kind exists." t
" Are not your models nece ssarily select- t
ed from the dem i-monde ?" u
A MASKED MODEL. a
"I Not at all * nu rhite . hwAmn
"Mot at all; for, while we have many
applications from that class, we refuse all
of them. On the contrary, our model at
present is a Iwoman of respectability, who
- 4-n lip thisbmosune are hasmo other
work. Sometimes no one but the commit
tee knows who the model is. Last winter
the female model we had sitting for us
wore a mask, and I would not know her on
the street were I to see her now."
" How much do you pay these models ?"
" We pay the men from $2 to $2.50 per
night, but the women are paid as high as
$3 for each sitting. The models are posed
behind a screen to represent the subject we
want to sketch. This screen is then re
moved and we go to work. The models re
main in position for about half an hour and
then rest for 15 or 20 minutes."
"Have you any applications from ladies
to join your class ?"
" Yes, certainly; but at present we have
voted to exclude them. I know of the
daughter of a Cabinet officer, and another
of an honored scientific professor, recently
deceased, who are studying privately from
living models."
"Do you think this familiarity with a
total absence of costume is injurious to the
morals of the young men ?"
"Not at all; for the artists come to the
class to sketch or paint, and leave. They
do not speak to the models, and none of
them would ever sacrifice his social posi
tion-for all of them are known in society
circles-by committing any misdemeanor.
In Germany, where 1 studied, we had a
professor, who, before we commenced to
work, would give us a lesson on the physi
ology of the body, explaining to the class
the names and uses of the muscles, etc.
We have no professor here, but are going
to secure the services of one as soon as pos.
sible."
Chewing Gum.
New York Sun.
Among the quiet little manufactures of
this country is that of chewing gum. Only
one factory exists in this city, and the few
others are ia New England, New York
State, Ohio, Illinom and Tennessee, The
gum is sold by grocers, druggists and con
feotioners in cities, and any country grocer
that hasn't it Is considered incomplete.
Gum from apruce trees was, exelusively
used until recently, when it found a rival
in gum mastic, a white and attractive arti
cle made from paraffines which is sweetent
ed.. The- ensumption-of this chewing gm
in the United States is about thity tons
annually; that of spruce gum somewhat
les.and that of a gum made in Tennessee
from balsam tol, and sold in the Southern
Seates, about twenty tons. Lately a ma
terial has beenused tyled "rubber gum."
It is from. the sapof the aspotie tree of
South and Central Ameriea. The apilike

CONSIUMPTION.
' A CHANGE IN THE POPULAR BELIEF RE
GARDING ITS CURABILITY.
The popular belief in the incurability of
B consumption, says the New York Times,
Snow seems to be on the road to complete
overthrow. This change in sentiment has
not been brought about by any new method
in treatment, nor has there been any per
p ceptible enlargement in the number of
those now living who can claim that they
I have had and have recovered from this dis
ease; but the evidence upon which the re
vision of opinion is based is even more con
elusive than that which could by any possi.
bility be obtained from any of these two
sources. It is simply this, that post mor.
tem examinations have revealed the fact
that pulmonary phthisis is a complaint of
much greater frequency than has been com
monly supposes, and that multitudes of
people have had the disease, and have been
practically cure of it, who have never so
much as suspected the cause of their Ill
ness. In a series of examinations made
some time since at the hospital at Edin
burg, it was found that the lungs of no less
than one-third of those who died when over
40 years of age were in a condition that
could be accounted for in no other way
than by the supposition that at some period
in their lives consumption had existed, and
had afterward been checked or cured. Por
tions of the lungs had been destroyed, but
the cavities formed had been healed by con
traction and adhesion of their walls, or the
disintegrated substance had been shut in
by the formation of fibrous tissue. In the
records of post mortem examinations at
Salpetriere Hospital, at Paris, a similar ex
perience is found, except that in this case
the age is advaneed to 60 years and over,
and of this class, more than one-half were
shown to have suffered from consumption
at some period of their lives. There may 1
be nothing new in this to well informed I
medical men, but to the non-professional 1
reader this information can not fail to be I
reassuring. The disease is to a great ex- a
tent hereditary, and there are probably 1
thousands of people in this country who I
now and then are visited by the gloomy
thought that they are at any time to fall 1
victims to the deadly inheritance. If these i
can be made to believe that they have al- c
ready passed through the ordeal, a suppo- .
sition which, in the majority of cases,would a
probably be a true one, no slight addition a
will be made to the sum total of human I
happiness.
To MAEE A HOLE IN GLASS.-An ex
change describes the following easy meth
od of making a hole in plate glass: Make a
circle of clay or cement rather larger than
the intended hole; pour some kerosene into
the cell thus made, ignite it,place the plate
upon a moderately hard support, and with
a stick rather smaller than the hole requir
ed, and a hammer, strike a rather smart
blow. This will leave a rough-edged hole,
which may be smoothed with a file. Cold
water is said to answer even better than a
blow. -
GARY's DISCOYEBT. - The Boston r
Transcript gives this terse statement of 1
Gary's discovery in magnetism: " The ex
istence of a 'natural line,' at which there is °
a 'self change of polarity in an induced p
magnet; that is, that a straight piece of
iron placed across the poles of a magnet,
and near to their end, changes its polarity 0
while in the magnetic field, and before it
comes into contact with the magnet, actual c
contact being guarded against.' This self- a
change of polarity of Gary's is effected by a
motion of a lever through a distance of less
than an eighth of an mch: the change of
polarity necessary to keep up the electric a
current in the present electric light ma
chines is effected by entire revolutions; so
that the economy of Gary's process of gen
erating electricity is as the difference be- g
tween a minute ar and an entire circle."
If we add to this Edison's illumination
without combustion, we have a combination
that will make light cbheaper than water.
MYSTERY OF PERFUMB.-NO one hasB
yet been able to analyze or demonstrate the ii
essential action of perfume. Gas can be
weighed but not perfume. The smallest D
known creatures-the very monades of life
--can be caught by a microscope lens and of
made to deliver up the secrets of their or
ganisation, but what is it that emanates
from the pouch of the musk deer that fills a
wide space for years wzth its penetrating
odor-an odor that an illimitable numberof
extraneous substances can carry on without
diminishing its size and weight-and what th
it is that the warm summer brings to us w
from the flowers, no man has yet been able ti
to determine. Bo fine, so subtle, so impon
derable, it has eluded both our delicate
weights and measures and our strongest
senses. If we come to the essence of each
odor we should have an enormous stride
for*ard,both in hygiene and ohemistry,and
none would profit more than the medical
profession if it could be as conclusively de
monstrated that such an odor proceeded
from such and such a cause, as we a~reily
know of sulphur,. sulphurate, hydrogen,
ammonia and the like.

BOB BTEDE'TE D EBSTON.
THE PREVAILING CUSTOM AMONG YOUNG
MEN OF WEARING SPECTACLES.
Burlington IHawkeye.
One thing else about Boston people be
fore I close : The old people have all the
good eyes. All the older musicians, to'iol
ars, authors, composers, whose names have
made Boston famous in the world of letters
and art, whose fame is as broad as the con
tinent, appear to have excellent eyes, and
get along on the street and in the library
without the use of glasses. That is, so far
as I have been able to observe. On the
other hand, the younger class of literateurs
and students are unanimously short-sight
ed. Young men here wear eye-glasses as
young men in Montana wear revolvers, and
young men in Chicago carry samples of
cordwood canes. I have seen boys eleven
years old come along the street glaring at
the timid stranger through huge eye-glasses
that beamed in the distance like big lamps.
Once in a while, when you are just growing
accustomed to the white glasses, a tall,
slender youth will suddenly loom up beside
you and glower down upon you through a
pair of blue eyes, and the effect is very
startling. Do you know, I believe there
are babes born in Boston with spectacles
on ? I do not positively know of such a
case, but when you see a child 18 months
old riding along in its cab with a pair of
horn eye-glasses straddling its nose you
can't resist the impression that the baby
was born that way, and would bleed to
death if the spectacles were cut off. But I
have got acquainted with two or three pairs
of these spectacles, and I find they are just
a part of the rounded face and the unsatis
factory photograph. I find the most de
lightfully young fellows behind them, warm
hearted, generous, manly young fellows,
impulsive and earnest under all their well
bred reserve. I have found a thousand
things to make me think better of Boston
than ever I did before, and haven't found a
thing that will cast a shadow on the pleas
ant impression I have formed of it; I don't
wonder that Boston people are proud of
their city,and that Boston people who move
away into distant States believe that if
they are good they will go to Boston Com
mon when they die. And that reminds me
of another thing. A Bostonian who has
emigrated to some other State will talk
more about Boston in five minutes than a
resident Bostonese will talk in six weeks. I
haven't heard a man speak about Boston
since I have been here, except in answer to
my questions
In conclusion, I may say that Boston is
considered the Burlington of Massachu
setts.
Jerusalem and Its Future.
Rev. Dr. Newman lectured in New York
City recently on "Jerusalem and Its Fu
ture." After an interesting description of
the Holy City as it was, he traced its mar
velous vicissitudes to the present time.
"Eleven cities," he said, " had been built
-than ste. and during the twenty-seven
sieges from which they have suffered the
rubbish has accumulated to the depth of
150 feet. The city is now in the hands of
the Moslems, and where stood the temple
now stands the mosque. Jerusalem has a
prophetic future. It is yet to be again the
great Jewish capital of the world. The
Hebrews are intermingled with all people
on the face of the globe, yet confounded
with none. They ara nation without a
country, a people without a government ;
and they have been prescribed by emperors,
popes, sultans, infidels and Christians, yet
the civilized world to-day is singing their
psalms. They have not only survived the
adversities of two thousand years, but
many of them have risen to distinctior.
There will be no sudden exodus from
Egypt-the return to Jerusalem will be
gradual. Some will go for pleasure, for
wealth, for patriotism and some for relig
ion. Their return is prophetically an
nounced,the Word of the Lord standeth for
ever. Palestine is the great high bridge
between Europe and Asia. Jerusalem is a
capital, not from choice, but from nature;
its location has a political signifleance.
Forty thousand Hebrews are now tbere,and
Disraeli Is the minister of Providence for
the re-establishment of the commonwealth
of his fathers, whose power and glory shall
be brightened by the acceptance of Divine
Christianity."

The panic on deck after the capsizing of
the first boat became general. Men and
women rushed frantically hither and
thither; others knelt silently in prayer, and
several passengers returned below to their
state-rooms, only to reappear on deck bear
ing large portmanteaus, with which they
absent-mindedly paraded the deck. One
gentleman descended the companion way
and returned to the promenade with his silk
hat in his hand, brushing it as he pro.
.eeded with the sleeve of his cotton night
shirt, his only garment. Shrieks and prayers
were heard associated-with the comonaa.i
of the officers and the wrangling of the
crew. Ominous, indeed, is the fact that All
the crew were saved and more than ffty
pass- gera lost !
Another boat had, meanwhile, been suc
cesefally got into the sea on the other side
of the steamer, but before anybody thought *
to see whether the plug wasin or not the
boat was half full of water, and when the
passengers were lowered down it came
very near swamping. Many of the passen.
gets had to be dragged over the steamer's
side, so terror-asrioken were they. Ta
