Shortsightedness.

The original cause of myopia seems
TO be the application of the eyes to near
objects; in other words, the porting over
books and handicrafts. When the eyes
are directed to near object they are
turned in, or rendered convergent, So
that the axes of vision meet upon ii,
and this position is maintained by a
muscular effort which if continued.

rectiOn of elongation. Manifestly. the
alteration will be most easily effected
during youth, when the tissues of the
body, including those of the eye, are
comparatively lax and distensible. and
it will also be most easily effected
among those young people whose It's
sues are exceptionally weak, by reason
of inadequate food or of unhealthy de-
scent or surroundings. Badly lighted
schools are the great manufactures of
myopia, the bad light compelling APP

OXFORD BULLDOGS.
The Way They Catch the Young Men Who
Are Out at Might.

At about eight O'Clock every might
one of the proctors, with his attendant
bulldogs" saIlies forth into tn,
streets, hotels and billiard-rooms OF Ok.
ford, collecting fines for the university
chest. As the penalty for being ont AZ
ter dusk without cap and gown Is five
shillings, and the practice is almost uni
versal, a rich harvest is reaped from
this field of labor. An additional. five
shillings Is charged if the offense is az
gravated by smoking.
There are occasions of course, when
il is impossible to avoid being proctor
lied" but the student soon becomes ac-
cuSt9med to certain signs which infalli-
bly, denote proctor's approach, and
takes steps TO elude him. The follow
ing are the ordinary symptoms: The
street is abnormally empty; a quick and
steady tramp is heard in the distance
(this is most suspicious, for it is the FASH

slowly; three men appear marching

hind them cap and gown are discern

When a capture is made the victim is
treated with elaborate pOliteneSS. 1t
takes place somewhat after this fashion.
Jones is returning from 3 concert, and
has nearly reached his college gates,
when suddenly, turning a sharp corner,
he runs straig light into the arms of a
bulldog"
The man touches his hat. s'If YOU

Before Jones has recovered from the
shock, that functionary advances, raises
his cap with bow, ana inquiries:

POintless Conversation.

Family life is apt to fall into narrow
grooves. and family talk to degenerate
into vapid discussion of persons Oh
trities, too often, unluckily, sharpeneC
by i'll -natured satire. Each member o.
the family is likely To chatter of his oil
her favOrite pursuit until the table-talR
resembles London street where each
vendor cries his wares, without regard
TO the ears, intelligence or feelings OF
the others. Nothing stunts the growth
of a child's mind or debaSes its ain
more that such habits. .
A summer visitor 10 the country
describes the conversation among the
people at the farm, as follows. Al
breakfast:
Joe-Father. Sam Prather says as his
calf weighs more'n ourn.
Father-Sao! a long pause. How
much does Sam Prather say his call
weighs more'n ourn?
Joel dunno.
At dinner: Father Il see Sam
Prather down ther, Joe. He says his
calf does weighs more Ourn.
joe ShO! How much did he say?
Father dunno.
Joe Sam Prather's q fool
At supper: Joe - Father, Sam
frather told Jem that his calf weighed
more'n Ourn.
A long pause. Father--I'd like him
TO prove that.
Joel don't think he kin. He never
see our calf, an his'n is killed and eat
up.
Father-Sho! a long pause.1 You
kin tell Sam P-ather for me, Joe. that
ii his calf warn't killed an eat, il
wouldn't weigh mO!e'n Ourn.
Now, OF course, it is lamentable
enough that rational human beings
should spend any part of their time in
conversation SO empty of ideas and so
utterly aimleSs as that. But if our critic
al tOwnSman could read his own
morning talk set down in cold print,
while he would find the subject dis
GUESSED different might concern a
rise in this railway stock of quarter of
a cent. or the fall of cOttons of the same
amOunt-it might prove to be just as
inane and just as pOintlesS-the over
flow OF mind perpetually running in
one narrow current Could one find
any wisdom or wit or shrewd common
sense in 1t which would help or cheer
those who heard it?
What is the remedy?
Some pursuit in common, a book
read aloud, a charitable work. the
study of the bees or dogs about them
anything, in short. that will break
down the fence that shuts the family
into the incessant observation of a few
people and a few trifling IDEAS Youths

the bauble was in easy grasp also lay

took the same direction, but was buffet
