Table Etiquette.

The Boomerang gives the following
i'll regard to table etiquette:
Macaroni should be cut in short
pieces and eaten with an even grace
ful motion, not absorbed by the yard.
Stones in cherries or other fruit
should not be placed upon the table
cloth, but slid quietly and unostenta-
tiously into the pocket of your neigh
Dor, or noiselessly tossed under the ia
bic.
If one of the gentlemen should drop
raw oyster in his bosom and he
should have trouble i'll fishing it out,
do not make facetiOus remarks about
it, but assist him to find it, laughing
heartily all the time.
If you happen to drop gravy on your
knife blade, back near the handle, do
not run the blade down your throat to
remove the gravy, as it might iniure
your epiglottis, and it is not consider
ed embOnpOiRt, anyway.
On seating yourself mt the table
draw off your gloves and put them in
your lap under your napkin. Do not
put them in the gravy, as it would ruin
the gloves and cast gloom over the
gravy. If you have just cleaned your
gloves with benzine, you might leave
them out i'll the front yard.

The Eyesight of Readers.

A writer in the Literary Journal
calls attention to the danger which
readers run of injuring their eyesight
by the use of bad light. He remarks
that engravers, watchmakers, and all
Others who use the eyes constantly in
their work, take extra care to preserve
them by getting the best possible light
by day, and the best artificial light at
night. The great army of readers are
careless, and have, sooner or later, to
pay the penalty of their carelessness
by giving up night work entirely, and
sometimes reading, except at short in
tervals and under the best conditions.
All departures from common type,
making the matter more difficult for
the eyes to take in, increase the dan
ger. The magnitude of the physical
labor of reading is not appreciated. A
book of five hundred pages, forty lines
to the page and fifty letters to the line,
contains II million letters, all of which
the eye has to take in, identify, and
combine each with its neighbor. Yet
many readers Will go through with
such book in il day The task is one
he would shrink from, if he should
stop to measure it beforehand. The
best positions and best lights, clear
type, plain inks, with the best paper
of yellowish tints, and abundant space
between the lines, afford the best safe
guards against them. - Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

are becoming too common. The moth

presses a great regret that she had not

you'd only stop the fly wheel, I'd lift
her out"
at is stopped, my lad-it's your diz-
zy head that deceives you. Let me
take my little May"
The engineer reached down and lift
ed his darling up from the dust, and,
holding her fast on one arm, climbed
out.
Tom lay still. He did not seem to
care, since the little one was safe and
the wheel had stopped. He felt a fear
ful weariness stealing over him. He
would like to sleep year.
The engineer was by his side a mo-
ment later, asking if he was hurt.
"NO, sir, think not; only little
tired" said Tom, and slowly and wear
lily his eyes closed.
Without anot her word the strong
man lifted him up from the rocky
floor and its foul air, and, climbing
again by the spokes of the wheel, bore
the boy out of his dungeon. The air
from the open window soon cleared
the ''sleepiness" away, and he was
able to tell the whole story. The en-
gineer grasped his hand but he could
not speak, and there were tears in his
eyes.
Many were the words of praise from
the sturdy wOrkmen that crowded in
from the ''steel" to see why the engine
had stopped. Tom was the hero of
the day.
When the superintendent heard of it
he sent for hack, and had Tom taken
home in style, with comfortable lit
tie present i'll his pocket, and the per-
mission to be out until he should feel
all right again. 1t took about a week
to clear the dizzy feeling entirely away,
and at the end of that time he was
working at his machine just as if he
had never been under fly wheel.-[St.

of regarding man as the endangered

punish man for indecent assault upon
