Few owners of fine horses do not SPEND
from half an hour to an hour every day
In grooming them with comb and brush.
And they know this care helps to keep
them in fine condition. Would not the
same, or even a quarter of an hour spent
daily III grooming, bathing and rubbing
the body, the limbs, joints and skin be of
equal benefit? There are men who spend
from one to three hours every day doing
this, and they find it prevents cold, rheu-
nlatism, sleeplessness and other physical
maladies, promotes health and proloncs
life. One man writes: "a few minutes
given every morning bathing, rubbing
and grooming the body is not a great
sacrifice of valuable time. Twice SO
much is given graciously by many q
thoughtful owner to the care of horse
whose value may be only few hundred
dollars, yet many persons exclaim that
they have not time TO spare for these
hygienic attentions to themselves and
their children. Herald of Health.

A NOBLE ENTHUSIAST.

DENVER. Col, Aug 20.-probably no
other political insignia whether Demo-
cratic or Republican, floats from such
eminence as does a Harrison and Morton
flag, which yesterday was placed on top of
Curricanti needle. The needle, by tue
way, is one Of the objects of interest Wis
tied by tourists to Colorado. 1t stands in
the heart of Black Canyon, on the Gunni-
son, rising abruptly Tor nearly 1000 feet
At its base the Gunnison river
rushes, while opposite the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad pursues its wind
ing course toward the Pacific
coast. The idea of PLACING flag on such
an eminence was projected 10y Mrs. A &.
Fay. She contided her plan to an Eng
iShman, who volunteered to undertake
the hazardous task. The first time he
failed, and leil into the Gunnison river,
but escaped injury except losing his flag
The second trial was made after securing
another flag, and after much labor the
flag was placed on top of the needle. The
needle is one of the highest projections in
Colorado. At one place it rises perpen-
dicuiar forty feet. The Engllshman
climbed this by making notches in the
mountain and climbing up them. The
feat is regarded as a most wonderful one

Glasses for the Near Sighted.

The near sighted child should wear
spectacles, because they arc the best pre-
venuve against increase Of near sighted
ness, and also because he loses Z great
part OF his education in not being able to
see more than few feet away. When
q person grows old the power Of accom-
mediation Is lost. and even if he be not
near sighted, the hardening Of the crys-
taliine lens prevents sight at short dis
tances. Hence he is obliged to wear
glasses. The vast majority Of persons
who wear glasses en- see as wei with
out them. They Use them to avoid a
constant strain on the eyes. The set of
focalization is a muscular one, and USES
UP nervous euergy. The orersig.;ed
eye, in which the focus comes behind
the retina, has TO perform TINS muscular
act continually. The results are tssasi-
ache. lrrIsabilIty and nausea. The only
remedy in such cases is 20 wear glasses.
