More Light at Home.

DIR. Spaulding, of the Maize Medical
Society, says: What desire chiefly 10
emphasize is the fact that In spite Of
improved light in our schools, defect
ivo vision is still ON the increase in
young people. Not only have I NO.
ticed this particular point myself. bat
other OF servers and latest DR.. Just, Of
Zittaw. in Saxony. have confirmed il.
In 1866. the Germans began 10 build
their model school.houseS, with perfect
lighting for one thing. In 1871 ono
was built in Zittaw, and every one
hoped that now defective vision would
begin to diminish proportionaily. In
stead of this, DR.. Jnstis exAminakoos
10 1879 showed just the Same percentage
OF short sight, etc., among the model
school children, "a had been diseov-
cred fifteen years before among thoso
attending poorly lighted schools. DR..
Spaulding lays the blame in part 10 tho
poor lighting Of rooms at homo during
the long winter nights. A few even

so energetic that it eeems as if he were
trying to pull his head of, but no Fly

A Birds WIT.-Some time since,
while riding slowly along dusty ma.
cadamized road, was startled b5 the
hurried flight close by my side of q
small bird which dropped in the road q
few PAGES ahead, and after futtsr in
the dust.sat perfectly motionless. Idrew
up my horse to watch events, whom q
moment later q hawk swooped by, but
missed its prey, and went off into an
adjoining field. The sparrow remained
still in its place, and, all covered with
dust, looked for all the world like one
of the many loose stones in the road
so much so, that NO wonder it should
have escaped the sharp sight even oi
the hawk.
But one explanation of such freal
seemed possible; and when We refsc
that these birds generally take to thu
bushes or to the ichen-spotted raj
fences. when pursued by hawks. snt
that dust is not . constant factor Of ths
environment, We stop to admire d
bright . spark Of Intelligence kindlst
under sueh trying Circumstances.

We fear, is hopelessly crazy. We Can

dangered the lives of his comrades, and
set fire to the building. If he had set

Humanity to Live Stock in Transit.

Attention has lat,ly been called in the
British House OF Commons to the suffer
ings of fAmericau.iuported live stock on
the VOYAGE across the Atlantic, and
from the remarks OF the Secretary of
the Privy Council it appears that the
attention of that body had been several
times called to the matter, and that it had
been for some time in communication
with the Board of Trade with view Of
devising measures for lesseDing the
suff.rings of animals in transit. Hu-
manity and self-interest alike demand
that the sufferiLgs of exported animals
both on their way to the sea-bosrd and
across the AtlaLtic should be reduced
to d minimum, and the latter consider.
atien is likely soon to enforce the die
tates of the former. In this country the
Humane Society's efforts will probably
soon place upon oar roads cars effectual-
~ designed to transport live stock with q
minimum of inconvenience; for out OF
the 400 models its offer of premium
has elected, one at least must prove
sati.factory, while there seems every
disposition on the part of our Legisla.
lures to compel the railroad corpora
tions to pay regard to humanity in this
connection. In England reports to the
Privy Council from the insurance agen.
cies show that the amount of suffering
endured by stock in transit has been
much lessened by recent devices, and
the Privy Councils efforts are likely to
make still further improvements in this
direction. Already most of the animals
are landed in excellent condition.; while
the reports of our exports OF live stock
in this weeks agricultural news column
show a remarkably small percentage ol
fatality among our shipments last year.
Small as this is, however, it is consider
ably greater than that incurred by q
Canadian Steamship Company which
has sent to this Office statement of its
business in that line for the last fifteen
months. From this it appears that
during this time it shipped 16.005
head of cattle, and landed 1852 head
alive, while out of 30. 456 sheep ship
ped, it lost only 725.-I Ex.

From Darkness to Light.

On bright afternoon at the close of
M .rch, pale-looking man of forty
stepped out from the state prison Ut
Wethersheld, Ct., amid the greeting
of several friends and the cordial sdieu
of the warden. He was known az John
r. johnson, aud after nine years penal
servitude on life sentence for homi-
eide, had been pardoned by the Legis-
lature.
Fifteen years ago . nobieman of
Sweden, who had son serving ss lieu.
tenant 10 King Oscars army. became so
addicted to gambling. that he sscri.
feed all his property and his honor.
The disgrace was such that his countess
died broken hearted. and his son, re-
signing his commission, fled with his
little property to this country. He irss
embarked in farming at the West. but
owing to his ignorance of the necessary
methods and the language. he soon lost
all he had.
In 1872, the young man. who had
taken the name above given, found him
self expelled from Meriden ct J
boarding house, for non. payment of
board, while his effects we're held for
the arrears. TIE mistress of the place
was coarse. low woman, and with her
in vain did johnson plead for leave to
keep o photograph of his only sister
and q prsyerbook given him by his
mother. When he had come again to en-
treat for these relics, the woman seized
o great pitcher and advanced to attack
him. He had at the moment knife
in his hand, cutting piece Of TO-
bacco, and as he struck out in defense
the knife cut the woman's neck, infiict.
ing wound which proved fatal. He
made no attempt to escape, and though
the Ctfense was only manslaughter, be
having no one to look after his interests,
his sentence was imprisonment for life
Nine years of severe labor with prison
hardships made johnson old beyond
his years; consumption began to SHOW
itself, and the balance of his mind was
threatened. His true name he woulC
not give, saying he would die in hi
cell rather than bring further disgrac'
on the family, but he won friends Wit
begged for his pardon; they promiset
for him that he should at once leave tn
country, and they raised the necessar.
funds for his passage. and placed ther
on deposit. The Legislature Com
. mittes Was stolid, and the pardon wa
recommended only by the casting vot
> of the chairman. The case was i'm
perillod in the Legislature by the awl
wardness of its presenter, who coul
, only state the reputation OF the lad
killed wss not hrst.clsss," but tn
speaker. leaving the chair, and tellin
i Johnson's story, made an eloquent an
8 touching appeal in his behalf, conolui
: ing by saying that the poor man ha
D but few years to live. and he now ash
o only the sweet boon that he may die Q
Q his native soil, and that his sshes ma
= mingle with those Of his dead mother
The pardon was granted, and the nam

Newspaper Writing VS.. Magazine
Work.

The chief daty If most newspaper
men is t. turrJw around for news, no;
70 firm smooth sentences or enuuciate
beautiful thoughts. Many persons caD
be brilliant two or three times year
who utterly fail in the tresdmill expert
ence of journalistic work. Literary
contributors to newspapers or period
icais seldom become miilionaires. OF
course. ore who is already famous can
get his own price fer sn article. but five
dollars page is "a good av' rage oom-
pensatiun for al article accepted by
one of our magazines. SnppOse it tn
cover ten pages. the writer receives
tifty dollars. II he could write and
sroure u puhli-her for twelve snch
articles 10 u year. which is supposinR
what rarely occurs, his net income
would be six hundred dollars. Thus
while it may pay the young beginner iii
law or medicine to employ his own
abundant leisure and increase Il s lin
tied income by writing for the month
lies. q complete reliance on them foI
support, even under favorable circum
stauces, is foolish. As for the daily
papers. they have little room. under
tho constantly increasing amount oi
telegraphic and local news. for thu
miscellaneous topics, in which alone
the outsider can hope to compete will
the regular staff. Thus they offer very
! little to the amateur.
