The Best Eye Water.
IExchange.I

In all cases yoa will find, when the eyes arc diseased, that the liver is in s torpid state, the kidneys and other organ: of the body in an unhealthy condition All of these obstructions must be re- moved by the use of simple remedies which will cleanse and puriiy the blood and create an action through the system
 The Egyptic Eye Water, which should be used according to directions, is the best yet known.
 This eye water is composed of one dram of sugar of lead one dram of lac sulphur; one tea-spoonful common salt five drops of eitronilla oil; one ounce ol alcohol; one quart of soft water. Mix all together and let the mixture stand a few days. When it is perfectly clear, pour of all that is clear, and it is ready for use; that which settles at the bottom to be thrown out-the clear liouid only to be used.
 Directions for using the Egyptic Eye Water: Take a small piece of linen, make it vet with the eye water, and Lay the linen on the eyes as often as it be- comes warm, change it, SO as to keep cool. Do this for ten minutes, morning and evening. If these directions are faithfully followed, this eye water will re- store and strengthen the eyes. It has been found especially beneficial for per- sons whose sight vas failing with age.

The Warner Astronomical Prizes.

It is a gratifying fact that very many astronomical discoveries, and those oi great importance have been made during the past few years. think this is due in part to the impetus given by com petition for the honors and prizes awarded to discoverers, and in order that this in. terest may to that extent be continued and sustained, offer
 First. Two hundred dollars for each and every discovery of new comet made from February ist, 1885, to February Ist, 1886, subject to the following conditions
 I. It must be discovered in the United States, Canada, Mexico, West Indies, South America, Great Britain and the Australian Continent and islands, either by the naked eye or telescope, and i, must be unexpected, except as to the comet of 1915 which is expected to re- appear this year or next.
 2. The discoverer must send pre- paId telegram immediately to Dr. Lewis Swift, Director Warner Observatory, Rochester, N. Y., giving the time of the discovery, the position and direction of motion with sufficient exactness, if possi- ble, to enable at least one other observer to find it.
 3 This intelligence musI mol 6e com- mHnicatedto any othe, payty or 6aytfes, either by letter, telegraph or otherwise, until such time as atelegraphic acknowl- edgment has been received by the dis coverer from Dr. Swift. Great care should be observed regarding this con- dition, as it is essential to the proper transmission of the discovery, with the name of the discoverer, to the various parts of the world, wh oh will be immedi- ately made by Dr. Swift. Discoverers in Great Britain, the Australian Continent and Islands, West Indies and South America are absolved from the restric- ton in conditions 2nd and 3d.
 Second. l will also give a prize of S2oo in gold to any person in the world who will write the best 5000 word paper on the cause of the atmospheric effects Tired light" etc. accompanying sunset and sunrise during the past sixteen months. It is desired that these papers be as original as possible, both in facts, observations and treatment.
 Essays must be exclusively sent pre- paid to Dr. Lewis Swift, Director Warner Observatory, Rochester, New York, must be written in English, on one side of pa. per only, with ink, and must be in the simplest, untechnical phrase. Each com petitor must sign nom de plume to his essay, and enclose his real name and ad- dress in an envelope, superscribed with his non de plume. The essays must be in Dr. Swift's hands by December I, 1885.
 Three disiuteressed scientists will be selected to determine the result, and also to settle any dispute that may arise re- garding comet discoveries.

THE YEAR 1000.

1t was believed in the Middle Ages
that the world would come to an end
at the expiration of one thousand
years of the era. This expectation
in Christian countries was universal.
The year 1000 was year of sus-
pense, terror and awe. The histo-
ries of this dark period give vivid ac-
counts and incidents of the state of
the people under the influence of this
awful apprehension. A writer in
Sunday at Home reproduces the pic
ture with much distinctness, and re-
lates an incident of the manner that
hours were numbered on the suppos-
ed final night of that year, which
might aptly suggest dramatic SUBJ
iect for the poet.
When the last day of the year 999
dawned the madness had attained It's
height. All work of whatever kind
was suspended. The market places
were shut. The tables were not set
for meals, and the very household
fires remained unlit. Men when they
met in the streets scarcely saw or
spoke to one another. Their eyes
had wild stare in them as though
they expected every moment some
terrible manifestation to take place.
Silence prevailed everywhere ex-
cept in the churches, which were al
ready thronged with eager devotees,
who Frustrated themselves before the
shrines of their fayorlte saints, inn
ploring their protection during the
fearful scenes which they supposed
were about to be displayed.
As the day wore on the number of
those who sought admission grew
greater and greater, until every cor

A Close-Fisted Economist.

The farmer sat in his easy chair
Between the fire and the lamp lights glare;
His face was ruddy and full and fair;
His three small boys in the chimney nook
Conned the lines of picture book;
His wife, the pride of his home and heart,
Laid the table and drew the tea,
Deity, swiftly, and silently;
Tired and weary, weak and faint,
She bore her trials without complaint,
Like many another household saint
Content all selfish bliss above
In the patient ministry of love.
At last between the clouds of smoke
That wreathed his lips the farmer spoke
''There's taxes to raise and int'rest to pay,
And if there should come rainy day
'Twould be mighty handy, I'm bound to say,
T. have something put by. For folks must die;
An there's funeral bills, and grave-stones to buy
Enough to swamp man, purity nigh:
Besides, there's Edward, an, Dick an Joe
To be provided for when we go;
So, if were you, I'll tell you what I'd du;
I'd be savin' of wood, as ever could
Extra fires don't do any good;
I'd be savin' of soap, an savin' of lie,
And run up some candles once in awhile,
I'd rather be sparin' of coffee and tea,
For sugar is high
An all to buy,
And cider is good enough drink for me;
I'd be kind o. careful about my clo'es
And look out sharp how the money goes
Gewgaws is useless, mater knows;
Extra trimmin'
IS the bane of women.
I'd sell the best of my cheese an honey,
An eggs is as good, nigh bout, as money,
An as tn the carpet you wanted new
/ guesswe can make the old one du;
And as for the washer an sewin' machine,
Them oothtongued agents, so pesky mean,
You'd better get rid of 'em slick an clean.
What do they know 'bout..women's work?
Do they calkilate women was made to shirk?'
Dick and Edward and little Joe
Sat in the corner In row;
They saw their patient mother go
On ceaseless errands to and fro;
They saw that her form was bent and thin,
Her temples gray, her cheeks sunk in;
They saw the culver of lip and chin
And then, with wrath he could not smother,
Outspoke the youngest, fraiest brother:
''You talk of savin' wood an lie
An tea an sugar all the while,
But you never talk of savn mothern'
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1885-07-20

ner of the sacred edifces, large as
they were, was densely crowded, and
it became impossible to find room for
more. But the multitude outside still
strove and clamored for admission,
filling the porches and doorways, and
climbing up the buttresses to find ref
uge on the roofs which they could not
obtain inside.
A strange and solemn commentary
on the text which bids men watch be-
cause ''they know not whether the
Master of the house will come at even
or at midnight, or at the cock-crow-
ing, or in the morning." was present
ed by the multitude which filed the
churches that night. Watch in very
truth they did. Not an eye was clos.
ed throughout that heightened vigil;
not a knee but what was bent in hum
BILE supplication not voice but
what joined in the penitential chant,
or put up fervid entreaty for help
and entreaty.
There were no clocks in those days,
but the flight of the hours was mark
ed by great waxen tapers with balls
attached at intervals to them. These
fell, one after another, as the flames
reached the strings by which they
were secured, into brazen basin be-
meath with clang which resounded
through the church.
At the recurrence of each of these
warnings sounds the awe of the vast
assembly seemed to deepen and in
tensify as each in terrible suspense
supposed that between him and the
outburst of Divine wrath only the
briefest interval now remained.
At last the night, long as it was,
began to draw to an end. The chill
which precedes daylight pervaded the
air, and in the eastern sky the first
pale gIeam of morning began to show
itself. The light grew stronger in
the heavens, and the fame of the
candles paled before it, and at last
the rays of the risen sun streamed
through the windows on the white,
anxious faces of the watchers. The
night had passed away. A new day,
a new century, had begun. The text
that says ''no man knoweth the day
nor the hour" had new meaning.
