You must remember, too, that there

perfect eye is the one that does its
work under ordinary circumstances
without any painful muscular adjust

some purposes and defective for others.
Many comparatively young men have
eyes that see very much further than
the average eye sees, as do eyes that
have become ilattened from age, but
such persons find that their eyes arc

when one feels n dull ache at the

knowledge you may resort to false

Mothers Who Are Too Generous.

1t is true that the young wife and
mother is more often too self-sacrific-
ing than otherwise. She sinks her
own individually altogether too much
in the service OF her family. 1t is the
easiest thing to do, TO reserve nothing
in the way OF devotion, but it is not the
wisest way. 1t developes.selfishnessssin- ssin-
stead of thoughtfulness in the beloved
ones whom she served, and it too often
happens that the wife and mother who
denies herself constantly waiting on
others, and demands no consideration
for herself, wakes later in life to find
that sho has made mistake. Out OF
the fullness OF her heart she has given
more than she ought for the sake OF
her family as well as herself. The
daughter whose comfort has always
been consulted before that OF her
mother, the son whose hours Of study
or play must never be interrupted for
his mothers sake, the husband who
knows that his wife is sa mt OF use
fulness, impose unconsciously upon her
goodness. And they develope dull
ness OF sympathy, and unreadiness to
think of her needs, which is as hurt
ful to their owp moral growth as it Is
heart-breaking and incomprehcnsible

down her very lie for them, '-- thrisiian

A beautiful garment which would
completely envelop the wearer from top
to toe was of the heaviest quality of
serge, so dark n green that it seemed
almost black. In this was woven u
large wheel of ecru, intersected by an
other wheel, equally large, OF dark red.
The shape of the garment was n semi
circular, belted in at the back and laid
in five straight side plaits in the front,
from neck to hem. Over these fell half
way down the skirt, and hanging from
the throat, two narrow sashes OF dark
green plush three inches wider, lined
with deep red silk. These slipped
through two tiny bands of plush sewn
just under the bust vertically across the
first plait of the front and then hung
loose again. A side plated cape or very
wide collar of plush reached the shoul-
ders. Narrow tabs, such as are de-
scribed above, are seen hanging loose
from the collar of many of the fall gar
ments.
Another cloak, something OF copper

color, was n tight-titting redingote,

closely fitted into the figure and reach

by having six capes, the longest reach

In every community there may be
found quite number of young men who

for any business pursuit, they are
"waiting for something to turn up" by
means of which they may obtain a for
tune at once, or at least a good start in
some line of business. They seem tc
forget that "man is the architect Of his
own fortune" and that it is only by
thorough preparation, energy and per-
severance they are to gain permanent
prosperity. With n good practical edlE
cation, and sufficient amount of
push" to take advantage of opportun-
tiles as they present themselves, every
young man has all that is necessary for
fair start in life. There is always
demand for men OF good moral
character, practical skill and thor

the future, as in the past, sue

of business, and it will not be difficult
for those who are thoroughly trained.

Log Cabin Grandmothers.

An Indiana doctor has recently discovered
in q common weed whose medicinal qualities
have never before been suspected, valu-
able remedy for bowel disorders.
There is nothing particularly strange
about this fact.
Nothing.
And yet the very simplicity of the new
discovery would, with some, seem to throw
just doubt upon its power. To make it one
has only to pour hot water over the leaves
of tho plant In it's preparation no vast
chemical works and appliances are re-
quired.
Is it TO be wondered at since such plainly
prepared remedies are accounted as of such
great merit in these days, that such
wonderful results attended our grand
mothers, whose teas and infusions of roots
and herbs and balsams, have exerted so
great an influence in the maintenance of
health and lifel
Certainly not!
The greatest pieces of machinery strike
us most by their exceeding simplicity.
The secret of the success of grand
mothers remedies was their freshness and
simplicity. Every autumn found the little
Log Cabin abundantly supplied with fresh
leaves, roots, herbs and balsams, which
were carefully dried and prepared and laid
away for II; Dreadlng to call doctor be-
cause of the expensiveness of his far-made
trips, they Immediately gave attention to
the disease and routed 1t before it had
gained foothold.
The old Log Cabin grandmother, in cap
and high tucked gown, and perchance be.
specialized in rough silver, her weary feet
encased in "hum made" slips, is the dear
sweet nurse who rises to the view of many
man and woman to-day as the early years
of life pass in retrospect.
The secrets of grandmother's medicines
were rapidly being forgotten and the world
was not growing in the grace of good
health. To restore the lost art of log cabin
healing has been for years the desire of a
well-known philanthropist in whose ances-
trail lire were eight 'goodly physicians" Of
tho old style, men who never saw medical

of healthy and long lived patients. Much
time and money was expended in securing

When Col. Ethan Allen was making his

revolution, Col Seth Warner, the fighting
Sheridan of that army, who was a skillful
natural doctor, used many such remedies,
notably like the Log Cabin extract, sarsa-
parilla and cough and consumption remedy,
among the soldiers with famous success.
They are a noble inheritance which we of
