X. OF 1.-The Knights of Labor of
Philadelphia have now set their faces
against the manual school that will be
established in that city blythe munifcent
gift of Mr. Williamson, upon the ground
that il will add to the number of skilled
laborers. In other words, they don't
want the children Of their friends and
neighbors taught trades by which they
can earn an honest living, though they
know that hundreds OF thousands of
foreign laborers are pouring into the
country every year.

AN OBSOLETE INsTITUTIoN.-Several

quite needlessly because the British
Government has not sent over a Minister
to Washington in the place of Lord
Sackville, and they are demanding that

particular objection to recalling Mr..
Phelps, as there is no particular reason
why he should stay, but whether either

Proper Care Of the Eyes

In reading. aavs DR.. David Webster of
New York, the book should be held at a
distance of from ten to fifteen inches from
the eyes: The readers position should be
such that the light may fall on the book
and not on the eyes. The light itself
should be sufficient. Nothing is so injuri-
Gus to the eyes as poor light in reading
Next to sunlight the incandescent light gives
the best illumination for reading and all
notions of the injurious effect on the eyes
of the electric light are erroneous. Read
ing while riding in the cars should be avoid
ed. The jOlting and shaking of the train
causes a great strain on the eyes, and
Injuries them. There is 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-sighted
child should wear Spectacles because they
are the best preventative against increase OF
near-SightedneSS. and also because he loses
a great part of his education in not being
able to see more than a few feet away.
When a person grows old the power of
accommodation is lost and even if he be not
near-sighted. the hardening crystalline lens
prevents sight at short distances. Hence
he is obliged to wear glasses. The vast
majority of persons who wear glasses can
see as well without them. They use them
to avoid constant strain on the eyes, The
act of fOcaliZatOn is muscular one. and
uses up nervous energy. The investigated
eye, in which the focus comes behind the
Ietina, has to perform this muscular act
continually. The results are headache
irritabiity and nausea. The only remedy
in such cases is to wear glasses. For eyes
in a healthy state pure cold water is the
best wash. When the eyellds are intlamed
a weak solution of salt and water makes
the best domestic eye lotion. Never apply
pOultces to the eye.

What's the Matter With This.

A subscriber wrtes-"A friend asks me
to multiply SIS by SIS. l do so and an
nounce the result as S25. All right. Now
multiply 500 cents by 500 cents. giving the
answer in cents pure and simple, not as
fractional parts of a dollar. I do so and
am surprised to see the figures climb up to
$50, 900 cents, which is $4,000 dollars. AS
SIS and 500 cents are equivalent, the result
is puzzling. It cannot be urged that deci-
NAL marks should be used A cent, as such,
is as distinct unit as dollar, and, as the
result is to be announced in cents, the deci-
mails cannot be pleaded in extenuation of
the rather surprising result. But there is
clearly something wrong. What is it?-

Within the last few years one Of the
most noteworthy things about the Epis-
copal Church In New York has been It's
development along the line Of surpliccd
choirs. Nothing, at one time, was more
abhorrent to old fashioned churchmcn.-
They regarded singing boys as worse than
whis,ling girls and Growing hens, and as
most un-Protestant and Romish. But Of
late years the old.fashioned Episcopalian
has travelled much, especially in England,
where he speedily became accustomed to
surpliced choirs. So that. once started in
Trinity, the fashion has spread rapidly,
and boy choirs are now common not only
in New York but in other large cities
The history Of the movement in New York
Is the subject Of an article in Harper's
Magazine for June, written by II. +. Krch-
biel. It's beautifully illustrated, and the
glimpses Of chancels, affairs, and choir
boys give this number churchly flavor.
