''Samanthy Jane - Reading IN account in THE
CONSTITUTION of the murder OF three boys by In
dams, was reminded of q story my uncle told of
ms own experience lie visited us o few years ago
and suppose he must have caughta glimpse of some
yellow backed novels aud concluded TO tell his
niece and nephew what such trash had done for
him. His home was in New Orleans When a boy
about twelve years old he commenced to read dime
novels boy friend OF the same age would ex-
change books with him; thus they read tho same
books and believed all they read When few
years rolled by they Concluded thoy would run
away and light Indians like the boys in 'the Brave
Hawkeye," Cripple Dick" etc. So one fine morn
Ing soon after breakfast. they crossed the Misss-
sppi river and started for Texas. They had each an
old pistol that Waa moro dangerous to stand behind
than in front, and each an old knife bade desle-
naad by them "dirks" After killing q snake ana
dipping in the poison the 'dirks," they walked on
all day with nothing TO eat but few berries,
wondering low II was they did not run across a
bear, oven a rabbit that they might satisfy their
hunger but tho rabbits and bears had business
elsewhere that day. Strange. 1t seemed to them,
that they were OH so hungry, whereas in the books
they had read the heroes did not long remain
hungry. Towards night their feet began 10 fail
them, and to add to their dsnay IT commenced 10
rain. They cfawlcd under some bushes, buI That
did not protect them from the drenching rain As 1t

road back 10 New Orleans, all the way abusing each
other Crossing the river just at daylight they
spicd the fist thing bread cart. Bowie Invested

"shant do IT, twas all your fault--making fools of
ourselves" "Now, loeky here, Bowie, don't you
ever speak 10 me again as long you live" SO
they parted, sick at heart, and tired at limb, dis

ly: "Now, Fred, we don't want everybody in the
car to know that we are newly married and have
them all staring at us. Let US act like real old

IAN right" said Fred, calmly. You just let me
have that end of the seat its lots pleasanter than
this. I'll take the pillow too, and guess I'll go to
sleep for three or four hours. You waken me when
we come to the dinner station. Spread that shawl

Far from the storms that are flashing the ocean,
Nearer each day to the pleasant home-heht
Far from the waves that are big with commotion,
Under full sail, and the harbor in sight
Growing old cheerfuly
Cheerful and bright
Past all the winds that are adverse and chilling,
Past all the islands that lured thee to rest.
Past all the currents that lured thee unwilling
Far from thy course to the land of the best
Growing old peacefully
Peacefully and best.
Never feeling of envy or sorrow ~
When the bright faces of children are seen,
Never year from the young wouldst thou borrow
Thou dost remember what lieth between;
Growing old willingly,
Thankful, serene.
Hearts at the sound Of thy coming are lightened,
Ready and willing thy hand to relieve;
Many a face at thy kind word has Frightened
ut is more blessed to give than receive"
Growing old happily,
Ceasing to grieve.
Eyes that grow dim to the earth and its glory
Have sweet recompense youth cannot know;
Ears that grow dull to the world and its story
Drink in the songs that from paradise fow;
Growing old graoiously-
Christian-like grow

may fall on the book and not on the eyes The
iigAV Itself should be sufficient. Nothing is so in
curious To the eyes as poor light in reading
NeXtt to sunlight the incandescent light gives the
best illumination for reading and all notions of the
injurious effect on the eyes ofthe electric light are
erroneous.
Nearly everybody reads while riding in the cars
TINS should be avoided, the iolting and shaking
OF the train causes great strain to the eyes and
will surely injure the sight
AT the first symptoms OF near-sightedness spec
tacles should be worn. There is a great deal of
popular prejudice against spectacles but there are
two good reasons why they should be worn and only
two One is that we may see better and the other
that strain on the eyes may be relieved.
The near-sghted child should wear spectacles
because they are the best preventive yainst In
crease of neardghtedness, and also because he
loses great part OF his education in not being able
to see more than few feet away
The vast majority ofpeople who wear glasses can
see as well without them. They use them to avoid
constant strain on the eyes, The act Of ocali1a-
ton is muscular one ana uses up nervous energy.
The oversighted eye, in which the focus comes
behind the retina has to perform this muscular act
continually. The results are headache irritability
and nausea. The only remedy in such cases is to
wear glasses
For eyes in a healthy state there is but one safe
wash-pure cold water. When the eyelids are in
hamed the best lotion is weak solution ofsalt and
water. Never apply poultices to the eyes OF use
"eye-Waters' without the advice of physician.

fresh sweet milk to the consistency of cream 1t

varies in the amount OF fluid necessary to mix it to
a given consistency, the best -four always requiring
the most. The memorable rule for these mullins is
that the batter must be thin. Break three eggs into
bowl and beat light with an egg whip, add these

nice lard grease well three sets of gem pans" fill
them almost level full and set them in quick oven.
The mullins will be done in fifteen minutes, and
should be buttered and eaten Immediately. Never
put lard in them or they will not be fit to eat If
