The Queen Of Italy's Coral Necklace.

The Queen Of Italy ON almost all ocss
casions wears coral necklace. even
when diamonds and pearls burden the
graceful neck and bust. The little
coral necklace has its history The
young Prince of Naples was but five
years old when, walking one day in
Venice with his tutor, he was greatly
tempted by coral necklace exhibited
in shop window. His idea was to
make it present to his mother. but
the price asked was fur too princcly for
the little prince. rs it was superb coral.
and he, therefore, proved himself no
bad Judge. He begged the jcweller to
let him purchase the necklace bit BY bit.
and to pay down all he had about him
for the first portion of the necklace.
namely, fifty liri; the remainder of the
liri to follow as he got them. The
prince insisted upon taking away Il
portion of the string of coral on ac-
count, and in the course Of two years
he had saved enough to pay OFF the
mortgage OH his coral property, and
got 1t all. Then he gave it with pride
to his mother, and the tutor told the
story Of its purchase.

Remedy for Tired Eyes.

Herald of Health: People speak
about their eyes being tired, meaning
that the retina, or seeing portion of the
eye, is fatigued, but such is not the ease.
as the retina hardly ever gets tired.
The fatigue is the inner and outer mus
cles attached to the eyeball and the
muscle of accommodation, which sur
rounds the lens of the eye. When 4
near object is to be looked ut this
muscle rclaxes and allows the lens to
thicken, increasing its refractivc pow
or. The inner and outer muscle are
used in covering the eye on the object
to be looked at 1t is in the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue is
felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes or gazing 1T far
distant objects. Tho usual indication
Of strain il a redness of the rim of the
eyelid, betokening congested state OF
the inner surface, accompanied with
some pain. Sometimes this weariness
indicates the need of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other
cases the true remedy is to massage the
eye and its surroundings as far as ma,
be with the hand wet tin cold water.

His OniniOn Of Scissors,

Mr.. {. A. Dana, editor of the New
York Sun, writes to the Texas Siftings
as follows:
In editing Il newspaper pen is Il
necessary article; SO is a pencil, mas
much rs it may ut times be more con-
venient than pen to write with. A
pair Of scissors is also necessary. Hut
what is most necessary is brains, Next
to brains in value | estimate what we
call the newspaper instinct, the sense
Of what news the public require and
what discussion will be most effective.
Next after this come special talents and
general knowledge; and the more
knowledge, general and special. a news
paper man has. the more useful he will
be.
But with all these gifts and graccs he
won't accomplish much unless he also
possesses sense Of humor and an un'
compromising love of truth and Of thu
United States Constitution.
A pair Of scissors, however, is not a,
good rs a pair Of modcrate-sized shears
and neither scissors nor shears car
make journalist.
