May God bless the good people and
prosper them in all their ways.
Respectfully, w. M. t.

In these days Of study aud sedenta-
ry work, requiring much use of the
eyes, they often become SO tired that
they refuse to do good work, This is
particularly true when the work is
done in q poor light, or when it is
very fine work. Few eyes will bear
such treatmnnt for any length Of time
without being spoiled. The question
is often asked Us, "What can be done
ia such easesp There is one remedy
for tired eyes that has great value. II
consists in massage with the hand wet
ii cold or cool water Fill a basin
with it, and, standing over 1t, wet the
hand with as much cold water as it
viii hold and apply it to the eyes, at
the same time with the thumb and
forefnger giving the eyes gentle
manipulation. Continue the process
for four or five minutes several times a
day. The results arc often almost
marvellous.

BUILDING ON THE SAND.



IT'S well to WOO, 'tis good to wed,
For SO the world has done
Since myrtles grew and roses blew,
And morning brought the sun.
But have q care, ye young and fair
Be sure you pledge with truth
Be certain that your love will wear
Beyond the days Of youth.
For, If we give not heart to heart,
As well as hand to hand,
You'll find you've played the unwise part
And "built upon the sand"
IT'S well TO save, tits well to have
A goodly store Of gold,
And hold enough Of the shining stuff
For charity Is cold.
But place not all your hope and trust
In what the deep mine brings;
We cannot live with yellow dust
Unmixed with purer things.
And he who piles up wealth alone,
WIN often have to stand
Beside his Golfer chest, and own
IT'S "built upon the sand"
'Tis good TO speak in kindly guise,
And soothe wherier we can:
Fair speech should bind the human mind
And love link man TO man.
But stay not at the gentle words;
Let deeds with language dwell;
The one who pities starving birds
Should scatter crumbs, as well.
The mercy that is warm and true,
Must lend helping hand
For those who talk, yet fail to do,
But build upon the sand"
