A Chinese Funeral.

the funeral of the late Dr. Oae, who put
an end TO his existence with opium, was
one of yesterdays principal features. The
deceased was coffined in his every day garb,
with the addition of n pair of white stock
ings pulled over his shoes. The space with
in the coffin was filed up with every con-
ceivable delicacy, but even emitting the
opium pipe and cigarettes with which, in
life, deceased had regaled himself. After
some few heathenlsh ceremonies IN the
house, the cavalcade, headed by the most
hideous ofbands, proceeded to Alder street,
where u couple of affairs had been erected
for the occasion. On these affairs an abund-
ance of hog and fowl was placed together
with various tit-bits which delight the pa
lates of the Chinese epicure. Immediate
ly following the hearga came two priests
dressed in flowing robes of drab, with a
blue cloth tied around their ''ohignons'
their tails being wound in o coil to form
that fashionable appendage. Behind them
came came six priests of the lesser order,
dressed in robes Of darker color, with
white weepers around their heads; and last
of all came eight men, clothed entirely in
white Reaching the rendezvous on Alder
street, series of incantations of the most
heathenish character were commenced
Every article of food upon their affairs came
in for its particular blessing, till at last the
affair ended amid the flourish of trumpets
and drums. The procession reorganlzed
as before, with the addition of number OF
Cinnamon wearing badges of blue ribbon
at their breasts,
The furniture and other personal prop
erty of the deceased was bundled into a
wagon and conveyed to the cemetry, where,
after all the ceremonies were over, it was
reduced to ashes. Portland (Oregon) Her

Protect Your Eyesighf.

Milton 5 blindness was the esult of over
WORK and dyspepsia. One of the most en-
lnent American divines, having for some
time been compelled to forego the pleasure
OF reading, spent thousands of dollars in
value. and lost years Of time in conseq-
utnce of getting up several hours before
and studying by artificial light. His eyes
never got well.
Multltudes ofmen and women have made
their eyes weak for life by the too free use
OF the eyesight, reading small print and
DONG line sewino- In view of these things,
It is well to observe the following rules III
the use of the eyes:
Avoid all sudden changes between light
and darkness
Never read by twilight, or moonlight, or
on very cloudy day.
Never sleep SO that, On waking, the ewes
shall open on the light of q window.
Do not use tho eyeslght by light 80
scant thai it requires an effort to discrim-
mate.
Never read or sew directly in front ofthe
light, or window or door.
1t is best to have the light fall from above.
obllquely over the left shoulder
Zoo much light creates glare and pains,
and confuses the sight. The moment you
are sensible of an effort to extinguish, that
moment cease, and talk. walk, or ride.
AS the sky is blue and the earth green,
1t would seem that the ceiling should be q
blush tinge, the carpet green, and the walls
of some mellow tint
The moment you are instinctively
prompted to rub the eyes, that moment
cease using them.
1t the eyelids are glued together on wax
ing up, do not forcibly open them, but ap-
ply the SALIVA with the finger-it is the
speediest dilutent in the world-and then
wash your eyes and face in warm water.
