The third scene was of short dura-
ton, but was novel i'll its procedure.
A man entered store on this same

a piece of dried meat in his coat pocket.
The merchant thought as much, and
found it on his person, as he suspected.
He took it from him and proceeded to

himself quite as much bya scvOre blow

Light in Schools.

The question is often asked why do
we see so many specialized young men
and women and even girls and boys in
these days, so different from genera
ton or two ago; and the discovery is
made that much Of it arises from the
bad light and straining of eyes, cspecigl-
ly in the city schools. The chiefvirtue
of our new school building, in which
the school was opened on Monday
morning, is that it was planned and
constructed to give plenty of light,
and that at the right angle. While
meeting the requirements of a first
class school room in every other re-
spect III this it stands out preeminent,
and it is doubtful if there is q school
room with more and better arranged
light in the country at large.
The discovery of the bad effect of de-
iicient and i'll arranged light is not at
all surprising. Light, ventilation, heat
and freedom from noise are points that
should be carefully looked after in ON
schools. The best possible skill OF
these points should be secured. II
many schools the children are seated
facing glaring windows, the light com
ing direct into their faces. In othel
cases they sit with their side to the
light, one eye receiving its full fore,
and the other being in shadow, Will,
in some city schools the light is so bat
that the gas has to be lighted. Out O
it oil it is not surprising that eye dis
eases should come.
The remedy may invQlve di1icul
problems. To diflqse evenly sEHicien
light over n room is attended with uD
doubted difficulty. The best thin
possible for the eyes, says a medica
authority, is for the light to fall owe
the shoulder. This cannot, in a.
probability, be arranged in all case!
But the WHOLE problem should be care
fully looked into and the best arrange
ment possible secured tG preYer

Collins Beach.

We are informed by a gentlemen in
a position to know, that Collins Beach
is not to be abandoned as was stated in
a local paper on Saturday and further,
that William Taxis, of Philadelphia,
who it was stated had come to look
after the wharf property at both
beaches with a view to repairing them,
was really examining tho break at
Collins Beach in the interest of pros
pective leaser of the property for a
term of years. Such a property as Col
Inns Beach with large hotel, pavil-
ion, stables, &C., all comparatively new
and costing Il large sum of money is
not likely to be abandoned to the owls
and the bats because of a break in the
bank that few hundred dollars would
bridge over, and a few thousand would
effectually close against the incursions
Of the tide This has been a convenient
place of Summer resort with the people
