COURTING.

There's lots of fun in courting,
II YOU know the way To do II;
Its the choicest kind Of sporting
Once you get accustomed 10 1t.
Do your courling moderately,
As business, not favor;
Make hasie slowly, it adds greatly
To the fun piquAnt flavor.
Court your sweetheart in the kitchen,
In the ptrlnr, in the park
And you'll fipd the most bewitchin
Time for courtiag after dark.
Court for love most women like il,
Nay, am certain they all do
And The fellow " no can strike II
once will banker Tor il, too.
Court a woman for herself. sir.
For the virtue that i in her;
Don't go courling for her pei', siv;
You will rue IL if yoa via her,
Court woman boldly, brave'y,
Never court her Tor tool
When you do, she d teach yoa uaiyely
How Woman sCoru eau rule.
Court a woman FOR wife, sir.
For a mother, gsod -nd true
Aud my word YOU i end this ,lfs, sir,
Paradise enough for you.
And such couriisg beats straw berries
Peaches frozen in ice crSam,

Advice to Those Using Glasses.

Men engaged in literary pursuits
should read mostly by day and write
mostly bv night. 1t is wor, hyof note
that reading causes more strain TO the
eye than writing and that copying
work in writing makes Il greater de
mand upon the organs Of vision than
Off hand composition. Twilight and
a mixture Of any artificial illumina
ton should be avoided for any kind of
work.
The pale cobalt. blue tint is the best
that can be employed when protection
for the eye from intense glare is sought,
Is in the case of travelling upon snow
fields in the bright sunshine. The
green glass that is so often adopted for
this purpose is not by any means so
worthy of confidence.
Reading in railway travelling is ob-
jectianable in the highest degree. for
"a very obvious reason. The oscella-
ton of the carriage continually y alters
the distance of the page from the eye.
and so calls for unceasiug strain in the
effort to keep the organ in due accom-
odation for the ever varying distance
of the dancing image.
The exact fitting Of the frame work
Of spectacles to the face and eyes is of
more Importance than is generally
supposed. If the centers of the lenses
do not accurately coincide with the
centers of the pupils of the eyes the
consequence is that the images in the
separate eyes are little displaced
from the positions they ought to hold,
and somewhat painful effort has to
be made by the eye to bring those i'm
ages into correspondence for accurate
vision. An incipient squint is apt to
be in this way produced. Mr. Carter
recommends that people should look
to the centering of their spectacles for
themselves. This may easily be done
by standing before looking glass
with the spectacles in their place. II
the fit is good one, the center of the
pupil should then appear in the cen
ter of the rim. Fully framed specta-
cles are always to be preferred to fold
ing frames, because they permit OF
more satisfactory adjustment in that
particular, and because they are more
easily kept III position with regard tc
the eyes.
The only advantage which the peb
ble has over glass for the construction
of spectaCles is the immunity which il
possesses against scratching and frac
ture, on account of its greater hard
ness.-Edinbury Review.

He Wouldn't Sign.

Lounging through the corridors of
the State Capitol one day was an old
farmer, to whom came afemale suffrage
with petition, and politely
asked him if he would sign it. He
eyed the document suspiciously awhile.
and then asked: "What is it 2" "a
petition in favor of the woman move
ment," she responded in her most in
tone of voice. ''Then I'm
agin it," said the agriculturist with
the emphasis of a man who had some
domestic infelicity. ga woman who's
allus a movin' is allus a gettin' in
trouble. If you've got anything to
keep her sot, iii sign it."-Broohlyn

AN ACCIDENT ON THE o. S. L.-Judge
Turner, Superintendent of The Idahoan
mine, who got in here night before
last, reports that early on Wednesday
morning carload of powder caught
fire on the track at a point about eight
miles this side of Pocatelo, and ex-
ploded, causing considerable damage.
The Car was bent until it broke in the
center, the splnters being thrown for
miles in all directions, the wheels were
parted from the trucks, and rolled off
a considerable distance, and large
hole was blown out from under the
track. The damage to the track was
repaired SO rapidly that the passenger
train passed over it an hour after the
accident Wood River Times.

Three walls containing products ex-

ly been sent to the French academy
by NJ. NJ. LIE Bon and Noel. These
products are: ~ prussic acid; (2) an
alkaloid of agreeable odor, but dan
gerous to breathe and poisonous as
nicotine, since one-twentieth of drop
destroys life; (S) aromatic principles
which are as yet undetermined, but
which contribute, with the alkaloid, TO
give the smoke its perfume. The al
kaloid appears to be. identical with
caliodine, which has been observed in

Talent knows what TO do; tact knows
