The radicals will abuse democrats, no

was a toregone conclusion to nominate
Vest, because he was a confederate, and
that union men need seek no honors at

The assumption that if a democratic

How to Preserve Failing Eye.sight.

Sit in such a position as will allow the
light to fall obliquely over the shoulder
upon the page or sewing. Do not use the
eyes for such purposes by any artificial
light, Avoid the special use of the eyes
in the morning before breakfast. Rest
them for half minute Or so while read
ing or sewing, or looking at small OBJ
jects, and by looking at things at a dis
tance, or up to the sky relief is immedi
ately felt by so doing. Never pick up any
collected matter from the eyelashes or
corners of the eyes with the finger nail |;
rather moisten it with saliva and rub it
away with the ball of the finger. Ere
quently pass the ball of the finger over
the closed eyelid toward the nose; this
carries off any excess of water into the
nose itself by means Of the little canal
which leads into the nostril from each
inner corner of the eye, the canal having
tendency to close up in consequence of
the slight inflammation which attends
weakness of eyes. Keep the feet always
dry and warm, so as TO draw any excess
of blood from the other end of the body.
Use eyeglasses at first, carried in the vest
pocket, attached to a guard, for they are
instantly adjusted to the eye with very
little trouble, whereas, if common spec
tacles are used, such process is required
to get them ready, that to save trouble
the eyes are often strained to answer a
purpose. Wash the eyes abundantly
every morning. If cold water is used,
let it be tapped against the closed eyes
with the fingers, not striking hard against
the ball of the eyes. The moment the
eyes feel tired, the very moment you are
conscious of an effort to read or sew, lay
aside the book or needle, and take a
walk for an hour, or employ yourself in
some active exercise not requiring the
close use Of the eyes. - Magagine of
Pharmacy.

LOst-A Comet.

An astronomer has many ups and
downs in this world, although most peo-
pie no doubt believe that it is most up,
as far as looking is concerned. Professor
Swift, of Rochester, a noted star-gazer,
met with a curious loss few weeks ago,
and the worst is there is no insurance.
He was securing off the sky on clear
evening month ago, when he suddenly
discovered comet. Now a comet is not
to be picked up every day, and the pro-
fessor felt considerably elated. Comets
are pretty high nowadays, and genuine
specimens without flaw or blemish are
exceedingly scarce. The professor was
overjoyed, and he was just preparing to
mark it and put up a sign, Any person
trespassing on this comet will be prose-
cuted. Keep off the grass" when sud
denly a cloud came in the way. What
pen can describe the scene that ensued !
Swift loudly called for help, but it was
time when no one is up except robbers
or astronomers, and no one came. The
situation was critical. If he went up on
a ladder and showed away the clouds
there would be no one to tend to the
telescope business. The comet in the
most cowarly manner took advantage of
the professors dilemma and made off.
At least it is thought so, because the
cloudy weather asted severalweeks, and
when the professor got his astronomical
shotgun in order again the celestial bird
had flown. Professor Swift ought to ad-
yertise for the lost comet. A reporter
interviewed the bereaved philosopher,
and between his sobs the star-fnder said
that the comet was of uncommon ap-
pearance Gall lost fish are big), and that
it was in the same field with Eta Eridani.
OF course the comet must have got out
of that field in some manner or other
while the professor was attending to the
clouds, and this is another great argu-
ment for keeping fences in order. Mean
while, If any person happens to meet
comet Of uncommon appearance without
a brand on it, the finder will confer
great favor on Professor Swift by putting
a little salt on the comets tail and tee-
at once for the disconsolate
astronomer. Free Press.

The MeasIas.

An unpleasant disease is the measles,
but of short duration, and, if ordinary
care be exercised, not fatal.
It's most apparent and usual symptoms
are sneezing, slight cough, running at
the nose and eyes, peculiar itching Of the
face, red eyes, very sensitive to light. 1t
generally runs four days before the erup-
ton, which lasts usually but three days
-" three days out and four days i'm as
the old ladies say. The third day little
red spots appear on the face, generally in
clusters, afterward spreading. The state
of fever decreases as the rash comes to
the surface. After about three days the
little crescent shaped pustules turn
brown and the skin crumbles off. Dur
ing this stage diaTThea often occurs, but
it is best not to interfere with it.
The ~oom in which the sick child lies
should be kept moderately dark Keep
the child well covered, especially about
the chest. Administer plenty of warm
beverages, such as weak tea, aTTowroot,
oatmeal-water and the like put gently
drawing poultice on the chest Some
times dose of purging medicine is called
for early in the disease. BE very careful
to protect the child from taking cold, as
alarming consequences are liable to re-
suit in that case. If medical advise is
handy it should be had, though, unless
the disease is not running its regular
course, it may be dispensed with.-Healb
