NEARsIoHrEDNkss IN CHILDREN. The
Health and Home" journal published
at Washington City, a journal devoted to
domestic medicine, makes the following
remarks upon the nearsightedness in Chill
dren: =" Encourage the pupil to look off
the book frequently, to change the focus
OF sight by regarding some distant object,
1t IS not enough to look around vaguely;
the eye must be directed to something
which must be clearly seen, like picture
or motto upon the wall, or bit of dec.
grafton. The greatest damage to the eve
OF students is the protracted effort to
focus the printed page 1t was simply
oaroarous, the way we used to be
'whacked' in school when we looked off
the BOOK, 1t Is easy to the teacher to
know the difference between the resting
OF the eye and the idle gazing around that
cannot be allowed We regard this rule
as the most important, and the disregard.
ing of it the most prolific of trouble
REMEDY FOR A CHOKING Cow.-A
simple manner of relieving choking COW
is related by the Northwestern Farmer"
OF Portland, Oregon. The method is:
when COW gets choked on ANYTHING |
take tablespoonful of gun-powder in a
paper funnel, or any other vessel. and |
taking the COW by the tongue pull it as
far out as possible, throw the powder as
Tar back on the tongue as you can and
the tn obstruction will fly out like magic.
lhe powder seems to cause a great con.
vnlsive cough, which does the work.
lhls IS said to never fail, unless too late,

Appropriation bill, just passed by Con.
