There is no aphorism that commands
more respect than this: THE truth is
not to he spoken at all times"
Plain spoken people are always dreaded
by their friends. They excoriate with
unskillful scalpel. 1t is a rule with them
to smooth pussy's fur the wrong way
on the principle that it is II healthy func-
ton. But the cat never appreciates it.

less the motive was good, but the man
ner was most offensive, drawing as it
did II sharp and obtrusive line between
youth and age and calling attention to
the infirlnities that all are sensitive to,
saving nothing to the implied rebuke to
the lady who accepted the old gentle
mans seat

DI>rArHFs from Washington report
great sympathy for Col. Morrison" be-
cause his till for the reduction of tariff
taxation was defeated in the house of rep
re-eniatives. There is really no occasion
for anything of the kind. Col. Morrison
has no more interest in tariff reduction
than any other citizen OF the country. As
such citizen the Illinois congressman Is
interested in having good government, tree
from partnership with rapacious rings and
oppressive legislative interference with the
activities oil the people. His defeat is not
q personal one, and it cannot be made to
appear a. such by the agents of the COM
blnations, try as they may. The cause
which was defeated by the Republicans of
the house, with the aid of Il few Demo
crats. was that Of every man, woman and
child in America, who, belonging to no
ring. must live in taxed houses, wear
taxed clothing and consume taxed food.
People having sympathy TO spare may
extend it TO the great body of producers
in the United States.

People speak about their eyes being
tired. meaning that the retina or seeing
portion Of the eye is fatigucd. but such
is not the case. us the retina hardly ever
gets tired. The fatigue is in the inner
and outer muscles attached to the eye
ball and tn. muscle Of accommodation,
which surrounds the lens of the eve.
When a near object is to he looked at
this muscle relaxes and allows the lens
to thicken. increasing its refractive
power. The inner and outer muscle are
used in covering the eye ON the object
to be- looked at, the inner one being es-
pecially used when II near object is looked
at. II is in the three muscles mentioned
that the fatigue is felt, and relief is Sc
cured temporarily by closing the eyes
or gazing mt far distant objects. The
usual indication of strain is u rcdness of
the rim of the eyelid, betokening Il con
gested state Of the inner surface, accom-
panied with some pain. Sometime this
WEAKNESS indicates the need Of glasses
rightly adapted to the person, and in
other cases the true remedy is to massage

There Is a great deal of old material
yet in congress-, despite the fact that
many of the statesmanic landmarks Ia
been removed during the past few years.
In the senate. Morrill,, of Vermont, stand
out as the oldest man. being 20 years of
age. while his colleague, Edmunds, is 6S.
Payne. of Ohio. is also 10 years old, iSit
falls short of Morrill, by seven mot<}ss;
Dawes, of Massachusetts,, is 20, although
he does not look Go. Wade Hampton, of
South Carolina; Evarts, of New York,
and Sawyer, of Wisconsin, have with
stood the blasts of GS winters n tho
heat of as many summers. Evarts looks
much the oldest of the trio. Conger. of
Michigan. is spry, but has worn so years.
Wilson. Of Maryland, and Brown. of
Georgia, are Zach 65, while Beck, of
Kentucky, is "a. Pugh, Of Alabama, is
&C. and Salisbury, the rusty bachelor
from Delaware, is 80, and looks it.
There is no one in the house 80 old as
the two oldest senators. Judge Kelley,
the father of the house, the venerable
PENNSYLVANIA protectionist, leads the list.
He is ~. But Eldridgc. of Michigan, it
is said. is quite as old. Plumb. Of
Illinois. is 20. while the directory records

Lindsey, of New York. Charley O'Neill.
OF Pennsylvania, is So; Wadsworth, of

The shores of the Caspian abound i'll
naphtha springs extending for miles
under the sea, the imprisoned gases of
this volatile substance often escaping
from assures in its bed and bubbling up
in large volumes to the surface. This
circumstance has given rise to the prac-
tee of setting the sea on fire, which
is thus described by a modern traveller:
Hiring a steam barge we put out to
sea. and, after IA lengthy search. found n
suitable spot. Our boat having moved
round to windward, u sailor threw u
bundle of burning flax into the sea, when
floods of light dispelled the surrounding
darkness. No fireworks. no illumina-
tons. are to be compared TO the sight
that presented itself to u gaze 1t was
as though the sea trembled ~convulsively
amid thousands of shooting. dancing
tongues of flame of prodigious size. Now
they emerged from the water, now they
disappeared. Al one time they scared
aloft and melted away; at another a gust
OF wind divided them into bright streaks
of flame. the foaming. bubbling pillows
making music to the scene. In com
pliance with the wishes of some of the
spectators our barge was steered toward
the flames and passed through the midst
of them. a somewhat dangerous expert
ment. as the barge was employed i'll the
transport of naphtha and was pretty well
saturated with the fluid. However, we
escaped without accident and gazed for
an hour longer on the unwontcd spectacle
