To REMOVE NOTE FROM THE EYE.-Take a
horse-hair and double it, leaving loop. If the
mote can be seen, lay the loop over it, close the
eye, and the mote will come out as the hair is
withdrawn. the irritating object can not be seen,
raise the lid of the eye as far as possible, and
place the loop in it rs far you can, close the
eye and roll the ball around few times, then
draw Outsthe hair; the substance which caused SO
much pain will be sure to come with it. This
method is practiced by ax-makers and other
workers in steel.

AaD0 - YO0D8 o8oeeRes
Nearly all young people Of both sores, who can
spare the time have taken to skating diversion.
The passion for it prevails now as extensively in
the winter - tho rage for base ball does in al
other seasons. It II . graceful and fascinating
amuscment, and when moderately INDUCED In
must be healfhfnl and invigorating. But it il
rather too fascinating. When the young girl who
the cleaning steel blade under her feet she rarely
feels disposed to take them OF until she is utter
~ tired out, or the shades of night overtake her
on the ice. Ry giving way to this desire for ska
ting long after proper and prudent enjoyment Of
exercise elapsed, greatdeal ofharm done.
The skates, If not properly strapped, soon
check the healthy circulation Of the blood. The
feet are chilled by contact with the metal of
the skates, which is in contact with the ice, and
soon get benumbed. All this time the body
being in active motion, the circulation is quick
ened everywhere except in the ankles. This, it
will be seen, reverses one of the cardinal maxms
of health, viz: too keep the feet warm and the
head cool. Young men and young girls in Wig
orous health can stand this for an hour or SO
without much harm; but four, three, or even two
hours of the sport under such conditions Is GER
tain to do damage, sooner or later.
During the last skating season We heard of
more than one case of death traced directly to
such imprudence, and of quite number Of cases
of serious illness. There is another matter that
these unwise yeung skaters should be warned
meals at home, they 80 to the skating ground,
let the hour for meals 60 by, satisfy themselves
with few cold sweetcakes, or frequently moth
ing at all, when the animal forces need more
than usual, and so derange the whole digestive
system. This aggravates the damage done by
the prolonged and unusual exercise. In every
way this excessive indulgence works harm. Pa
rents, guardans, and all persons Of mature age.
should therefore impress it upon Young persons
to take it Observation-Disclosures Ledger.

Cofv1o8s

cut slices from the breast, take out the collar
bone, cut off the side pieces, and then cut the car
cass i'll two. Divide the joint in the leg OF

In carving sirlOin, cut thin slices from the
side next to you; it must be put on the dish with
the tenderlOin underneath then turn it and cut
