Many citizens who have visited our
High School room will remember with
what difficulty they were obliged to
face the west windows, with the sun
light streaming and intensified by the
yellow curtains. The teacher and
pupils while speaking or reading on the
rostrum, had their backs toward the
windows, and therefore the express
ion of their faces was lost in proportion
to the brightness of the sunlight. The
students have this unscientific arrange
ment to face continually, and the num-
Der of weakened eyes that are chiefly
brought on by this cause will never be
known, for the reason that eye troubles
are often a long time in developing.
This trouble could be Immediately and
wholly removed by placing the teachers
rostrum at the south or north end of the
room, where there are no windows,
and turning the desks to face the ros-
trum. The light would then come
equally from the east and west windows.
This would also help the lack of light
on dark, winter days, of which there
has been much complaint. The new
High school building in Cleveland is
SO arranged that each of its sixteen
study rooms, has the light coming from
the back and left OF the pupils, and the
rostrum is by a wall without windows.
Respectfully, INTERESTED.

In conversation with good Christian
lady yesterday from Fostoria, she relat-
ed to me some facts Characteristic with
Governor Foster. This lad ysays that
some years ago the Rev. Mr.. Hunt, a
local preacher, represented the N. E.
Church at Fostoria for one year and then
became a citizen of the place. He pur-
chased house and lot, and then made
considerable improvements thereon,
which involved him considerably in
debt. Mr.. Hunt died sever al years ago,
leaving q widow and her mother and a
mortgage upon the property. The
parties holding the mortgage being
about to foreclose, Governor Foster
came to sister Hunts rescue by present.
ing her with house and lot so long as
she and her mother live. Governor
Foster pays all taxes, and makes all
necessary repairs without charge. Now,
hope all Christian voters in the State
of Ohio will take this fact into consid-

Tribute to Gov. Foster.

During his brief speech at the Medina
convention, a short time since Chaplain
G.. W. Collier paid a touching tribute to
the kind-hearted benevolence of Gov.
Foster. He said that many years ago
when he was laboring in the north
western counties of Ohio, he was strick-
en- with a disease of the throat and lungs,
the result of his constant work and ex-
posure. One day while greatly suffering
both physically and mentally, he met a
yourg man who said to him, aBrother
Collier" unless you give up your labor
and take a years rest in travel and re-
creation,you will not live many months
'I know it is true," said Mr.. Collier,
"but have not a cent of money to spend
for that purpose, and therefore must
submit to my fate" He said that he
would not tell his hearers all that was
said in that interview. The result was
he did spend year in absolute rest and
recreation, and all the money he needed
to defray his expenses was furnished by
his friend of but few months acquaint-
ance. He returned with health fully
restored, and to this day Gov. Foster.
for he was his kind-hearted benefactor,
has refused to accept penny in return
for his expenditure.
He then told his audience that this
was but single incident of the many
that went to establish his lifelong char
acter as a klnd-hearted and charitable
citizen, free with his means in relieving
the suffering, and lenient and forbearing
to those who were indebted to him. In
all the years of his intimate acquaint-
ance with him, though he had often
seen him under temptations that he
greatly feared his maligners would not
have possessed sufficient grace to with
stand, he never knew him to depart
from the strict rules of honor, temper
ance and propriety. He wished he had
for an audience all the brethern of his
own beloved denomination who now
think of opposing his election. He fell
that they were deceived by designing
persons, and he could undeceive them

Domestic accidents are common to women,
and some OF them are very serious. Mrs.
Warner, Of South Rondout, Ulster Co., n. Y.
Some weeks ago attempted to take from her
child q pair of shears with which IT was play
ing. A slight struggle ensued, in which the
point of the shears entered Mrs. Warmers
left eye, entirely destroying the sight. Her
family physician did what he could, but in
tensely painful inflammation arose, which, by
sympathy, threatened the loss of the other
eye. Total blindness TO woman having the
care of household is an irretrievable calam-
ity. In this strait Mrs. w appliedto the we'll
known and skillful Surgeon, DIR. David Ken
nedy, of Rondout, N. Y, who removed the
injured eye by a very successful operation,
setting aside all danger of futher harm to the
sight of the other eye. But, owing to pain
and mental distress, her system needed a tonic
and restorative medicine. 10 do this work
the Doctor prescribed "Kennedy's Favorite
Remedy" which sustained its reputation and
laid a sure foundation of health.

AnecdOte Of Dean Swift.

One day when travelling in the south
of Ireland he stopped to give his horse
water at brook which crossed the
road; gentleman of the neighborhood
halted for the same purpose, and salu-
ted him, courtesy which the Dean
returned. They parted, but the gentle
man, struck by the Deans figure, sent
his servant to inquire who the Dean
was; the messenger first made applica-
ton to the Deans attendant, who was
an original in his own way, and he
referred the man to his master. The
messenger rode up to the Dean and
said, "Please Sir, Master would be
obliged If you would tell him who you
are?" "Willingly," replied the Dem,
"tell your master am the person that
bowed to him when we were giving
our horses water at the brook yonder." Z"

Rescued from Death.

The following statement OF William j..
Coughline, of Somerville, Ma s., Is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for 1t the
attension of our readers. He says: "Jn
the fall of 1876 was taken with vio-
lent bleeding of the lungs followed by q
severe cough. 1 soon began to lose my
appetite and flesh. Twas so weak at
one time that could not leave my bed.
In the summer of 1877 was admitted
to the City Hospital. While there the
doctors said had a hole in my left lung
as big as a half dollar. / expended
a hundred dollars in doctors and medi-
cines. 1 was so far gone at one time q
report went around that was dead. /
gave up hope, but a friend told me of
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs.
1 laughed at my friends, thinking that
my case was incurable, but 1 got bot
tie to satisfy them, when to my sur
psise and qualification, 1 commenced to
feel better. My hope, once dead, began
to revive, and to-day feel better spirit
ed than have the past three years.
''I write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every one afflicted with Di-
seased Lungs will be induced to take
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption can

and can positively say that it has done
more good than all the other medicines

growing old; "To those who ask how

as If were a boy, please say that there
is in this neighborhood, or neighboring

pose the tree makes new wood every
