A Creature of o.eanly Hablts.

1t is interesting to note in many places
in this city a small machine, scarcely
larger thar a handbook, in which electricity
is at work for the purpose of keeping an
adjacent room cooled by means of re-
volving fans. The electric motor is the
most g~enteel, as well as the most bust
ness like of machines, a sort of steam en-
CINE in a dress suit. 1t is neat enough
for the parlor, it savors of neither oil nor
steam, and is as steady in its movements
as my lady's Geneva watch. Its revolu-
tions are of special interest to those who
remember that these are but another
form of light. The same energy that
turns the motor will, if passed into a bit
of carbon, create electric radiance.
The motor and the light are brothers,
children off the same mother, yet pos
sessed of diverse traits. The one is bril-
liant, the other busy; the one expends
its energy in labor, the other in dispelling
darkness. AS a conveyor of power the
motor is destined to find a welcome in
the homes of the people. 1t is a creature
of clearly habits, pleasing appearance
and correct principles. 1t will wave
fans, run the sewing machine, turn the
cream freezer, and perform other duties
as yet not clearly defined. The electric
motor will find its way to the home ere
long.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

If l were asked to characterize Omsk
in a few words, l should describe it as a
city of 3 $1,000 inhabitants, in which the
largest building is a military academy
and the most picturesque building a police
station; in which there is neither a news
paper nor a public library, and in which
one-half the population wears the Tsar's
uniform and makes a business of govern
ing the other half. The nature of the re-
lations between the latter half and the
former may be inferred from the fact
that an intelligent and reputable citizen
of this chinovnik dominated city, who
had been kind and useful to us, said to
me when he babe us good-by, 'Mr. Ken
nan, if you find it necessary to speak of
me by name in your book, please don't
speak of me favorably."
For heavens sake. why not2" l in
quired.
Because" he replied, Il don't think
your book will be altogether pleasing to
to the government; and if l am mem
toned favorably in it, l shall be harried
by the officials here more than l am now.
My request may seem TO you absurd, but
it is the one favor 1 have TO ask. -

Few n 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 in 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-
matism, sleeplessness and other physical
maladies, promotes health and ~prolongs
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 a
thoughtful owner to the care of a horse
whose value may be only a few hundred
dollars, yet many persons eXclaim that
they have not time to spa for these
hygienic attentions to themselves ami
their children. Herald of Health.

Glasses for the Near sighted.

The near sighted child should wear
spectacles, because they are the best pre-
ventive against increase of neal sighted
ness, 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 accom-
mediation is lost, and even if he be not
near sighted, the hardening of the crys-
talline lens prevents sight at short dis
tances. Hence he is obliged to wear
glasses. The vast majority of persons
who wear glasses can see as well with
out them. They use them to avoid a
constant strain on the eyes. The act of
focalization is a muscular one, and 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 head
ache, %irritability and nausea. The only
remedy in such cases is to wear glasses.
