Full BlOOded African.

Moses Thomas, the colored man vino
testified in the larceny case against
Mary Spencer last evening, is full
blooded african. He is very black,
and was born in the Southern part Of
Africa, and has been in this country
buteight years. Each side Of his face
is marked with three long gashes,
which look as though they had been
done with knife or some other sharp
instrument. This was done he says
when he was quite yonng, to show
what tribe he belonged to. Moses has
declared his intentions, and in about
two years more will receive his natu-
ralization papers. He will be the frat
African ever n4turalized in Delaware.
He is very intelligent and is represented
as being Industrious and frugal and is
the owner Of some property in the
Ninth ward.

Caro- OTthe Ere.

At the recent sanitary convention at
Ann Arbor, Mich, DR.. j. @. Luudy, of
Detroit, read a paper on "Hygiene in
Relation TO the Eye" in which he said
down the following rules for the be tier
care of the eyes:
1. Avoid reading and study by poor
light.
2. Light should coma from the side,
and not from the back or front.
3. Do not read or study while suffer-
ing great bodily fatigue or during re-
covery from illness.
4. Do not read while lying down.
5. do not use the eyes too long at a
time for near work, but give them Ooca-
sioual periods of rest.
6. Reading and study should be done
systematically.
z. During study avoid the STOPPING
position, or whatever tends to produce
congestion of the head and face.
8. Select we'll printed books.
0. Correct errors OF retraction With
proper glasses.
10. Avoid bad hygienic conditions and
the use of alchohol and tobacco.
II. Take sufficient exercise in the open
air.
70. Let the physical keep pace with
the mental culture, for asthenopia Is
most usually observed In those who are
lacking in physical development.

Luck.

200, bat hasn't he been lucky!'

unsuccessful speculation, when he
hears OF a neighbor having thriven
better than himself, though their cir
cumstsnces seem to have been alike.
and he sees no better way of protect.
ing himself from the imputation of
inferior ability or industry. How
consoling it is for the unfortunate
when their friends, with amisble
tenderness, account for their disasters
by assuring them that they have. had
hard luck. There is no such thing
as luck. Chance there is, and many
persons have been indebted to this
for great advantages. But to suppose
that certain individuals are favored
through life with q frequent recur.
renee OF advantageous chances, while
others are exposed to the reverse, is
inconsistent With the laws Of nature |
and with every idea which we can !

II We we're to examine closely into |
what appeared solely the result Of
chance, We should probably find in
many instances that stern qualities,
consciousness OF situation, and hard,
plodding work, accounted for the
most of the results attained.
OF what avail are fortunate chances
to one who has no ability, and whose
head is turned by q little good for
tune ? TO such a person a favorable
chance in the beginning of life is the
worst thing that could befaiI him;
Tor, while q wise mind would have
been benefited thereby, he is simply
encouraged On to his own destruction. I
He relaxes all MS efforts, trusting
hat good fortune will soon come his

appeared to grow wild and reckless. AT

around the Crater. and while at least 4
