He Was a Liar From Deadwood.

Omaha Herald.
A number of gentleman were gath
cred in one of the offices about town
yesterday talking on various subjects.
Gradually the conversation drifted on
to gambling, and each one mentioned
some big games, either faro OF poker,
that he had seen. A mild-mannered,

this time had been silent, but appar-
emily deeply interested listener, Shift

By this time each one had told his ex-

what he knew about gambling. With

SAVE THE EYE-SIGHT.
An Oculist Tells Careless Persons How
 It May De Done.

It May He Done.
 Next to sunlight tho incandescent light gives the best illumination for read ng !; and all notions of the injurious effect on the eyes of the electric light are erroneous
 The vast majority of people who wear glasses can see well without them. They use them to avoid 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 headaches, irritability and nausea. The only remedy in such cases is to wear glasses
 The near-sighted child should wear spec tacles, because they are the best prevent i've against increase of near sig htedness, and also because he loses great part of his education in not being able to see more than a few feet away.
 For the eyes in healthy state there Is but one safe wash--Pure cold water. When the eyelids are inflamed the best lotion is weak solution Of salt and water. Never apply poultices to the eyes or use "eye-waters" without the advice of phy- sician.
 At the first symptoms of near-sighted- ness spectacles should be worn 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 sec better, and the other that tho strain on the eyes may be re- ileved.
 In reading the book or paper should bo held at a distance of from ten to fifteen inches from the eyes. The readers posi- tion 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 injurious to the eyes as poor light In rcading.--ChicdyO Tribune.

 ,sMa, will be blind in Hcaven9n ''No, my dear, you won't be blind in Heaven" They are all well there.
 In my boyhood, for some time we lived three miles from church, and on stormy days the children stayed at home, Dut father and mother always went to church; that was a habit they had. On these stormy Sabbaths when we stayed at homei the absence of our parents seemed very much protracted; for the roads were very bad. and they could not get on very fast. So we would goto the window at twelve o'clock to see if they were coming, and then we would go at t2:30 to see if they were coming, and at 12:45, and then at one o'clock After awhile Mary, or David, or Dewitt would shout: ''The wagons com- ingU and then we would see it wind- ing out of the woods and over the brook, and through the lane, and up in front ot the old farm house; and then we would rush out, leaving the doors wide open, with many things to tell them, asking them many questions. Well, my dear breth- ren, I think we are many of us in the Kings wagons, and we are on the way home.
The Russellville Democrat., 1888-12-20

Job had hurried home to the farm house where he did chores for his board and lodging, and had walked back to tho village center without eating his supper, so great was his fear that he might keep the magnate waiting a minute.
 Tho roadway laid between two hills, and in the shadow of one of them was de~ serted farm house that had been partially y destroyed by fire. Its open doorway looked like black yawning abyss, and the wind howled dismally around the building.
 Job felt a creeping sensation pervade him as he buried through the gap, an un. pleasant feeling such as he had never be- fore experienced; something, as he imagined, one might feel when evil fore boded; but he shook 1t of when he stepped into the moonlight beyond the bend in the oadway. A short distance ahead at the end of the road the church spire stood forth, tall and white, like Christmas ghost that did its vigils once year. The moon darted behind teathery cloud, then reappeared and cast a silvery gleam over the snow-clad scene, making it exceeding ly beautiful. Although the evening wind was keen and cutting Job stood for mo- ment wrapped almost in worship of the grandeur of nature Gs it was D ctured to his gaze at the time The moonlight kissed the white spire, the snow-covered mead ows, the distant houses. From the bare hedges and the branches of the trees hung great icicles which glittered like diamonds The white-tipped cones glistened in the pines, the tall dark frs stood out in mar tial array and stars shone in the night sky.
 The cold and frost tingled Jobs feet and brought him back to earth. He ran, or rather stumbled and slid, along the rest of the road, and arrived at the Mayors" house with his homely but honest face aglow from the unusual exercise.
 Had he known of the reception awaiting him. he could have taken his time; in fact he could have saved himself the journey

JAPANESE MAIDENS.
Poor Little Things Who Know Nothing
 Of Filtration and Coquetry.


 A pretty Japanese maiden, dressed in soft embroidered silk, sitting on the floor, bending over a lfoto, on which she strums an accompaniment to her voice, would in all probabilities touch the heart of a young Japanese; but no matter how much he might be touched, he must appear ut terly indifferent to her, and ignore her charms and her presence. For, progress sive as is Japan, young men and women arc never allowed together alone, and such thing as a filtration or coquetry is un- known Unlike China and Corea, Japan allows parents to invite young gem tleman to their house as guest, but he devotes his time to the parents; the daugh- ter may play the koto, or entertain him in other ways, but she is noticed no moro than is solored serYaut-woman by a guest in d Southern home. Itseems strange to us that custom can so control feelings and sentiment, especially when every day we see here at home young men doing the exact opposite, ignoring parents and older members of the family, and feigning more interest in the young women than they really feel. Marriages in Japan are car rIed on much as they used to be, the parent making the choice; but nowadays if it chance that either young lady or gentleman object to become husband or wife, the parents do not force the matter, and, as a rule, babies arc not betrothed by their parents as they are in some other Asiatic countries Neither are women so secluded as they are in those countries, for nearly as many Japanese women are to be seen on the streets in Japan as are American women in this country. In fact, the Japanese women or girl is to Asia what the American girl iS to Europe - American Magdztne.

FASHION AND BREEDING.
The Former Is of the Surface, the Latte
 of the


 of the sTjzzss.
 There ts ne~aasaps no more infallible sign e vulgarity than the mistaking of Fashion for good breeding, and yet there Is perhaps no error more common. The under-bred man always supposes himself to be com passing the innermost mysteries of being Q gentleman when he has followed the latest whimsical fancies of fashion. They have no inner sense of the fitness of things, and are forced to depend upon outer rules They can not be said to forget-since they never have known-that there is an essen- tial vulgarity in the eternal discussion of forms and of customs. The truly we'll bred man knows as a matter of course what is proper, and if under ununusual circumstances he may sometimes be at a loss in regard to etiquette heis always able to be superior to the whimsicalities of fashion.
 The distinction between good breeding and fashion is usually pretty strongly marked in people of the new rich variety. These upstarts are apt to be well up in all the devices and desires of fashion; they are painfully exact in their observance of the latest whimsicalities of dress and de- portment; they are miserable over any failure to keep up with the freshest changes in the ever-varying code of rules laid down by some vulgar leader of fash ion who is for the moment at the head of the swim; but they are absolutely outside of the truly we'll bred circle. The caste of "Vere dc We're" is above the accidents of the hour, and does not descend from it's lofty elevation because of a failure to com ply with outward rules which change from day to day and from week to week, like the dictates of fashion.
 And herein is the whole secret to tho matter; fashion Is of the surface, while breeding is of the mind. Fashion deals with the behavior; breeding is matter of the character. Fashion is varnish which may be applied to any surface, while breeding is a method of making. A beg gar may be taken from the gutter and trained to the height of fashion, while man can be well bred only through process begun with his grandfathcrs. In a word, fashion is but the shadow of a shadow, while breeding is the substance, unchangeable and unspoilable - Boston Courier.

friepd him by giving him even comely countenance He was positively so home ly aB to be com cal when his features were relaKed from the smile he wore while his patience was being taxed by the thick headed urchins of the village school
 He was the principal in a school where there were no assistant teachers, There were twenty two scholars In the school, but they could bo divided into almost as many classes as individuals. This was owing 70 Jobs kindness of heart, for be believed in advancing his pupils in propor- ton to their ability 10 learn. In conse- quence the school hours oftentmes proved to bo too short to hear al tho classes.
 He was well beloved by his family" as he termed them, although, without any feeling of disre pect, they were apt to mention him behind his back as "Old Cog" Whether this title originated through his wearing pair oi iron bowed glasses such as country folk term "gog- gles," or whether some urchiu had heard some elder member of the family call Job R pedaCogue and had shortened the word to Cog as being an easier word for a boy of his years to handle, no one could tell, Even tho town selectmeu familiarity salut- cd him with Hello, Cog" and there were possibly people in the village who
  years ho had taught school, and he would probably have taught 1t for nine more without attempting Co better himself if fate had not decreel otherwise.
 On the afternoon before Christmas he had dism ssed his "famiy early giving to each of them a small token of remem- brIucc.
 Twenty-two remombrances made a large reduction in the total sum Of his scant sav- ings and on this particular Christmas Eve he was made to feel the fact in full force. Not that he regretted his kindness, how ever; he was too noble for that to ever oc- cur Co him.
 Five minutes after the school had been dismissed, he had received a note from the chairman of the town committee request ing him to call Co sec him. The chairman was a Mir Flint, man who was as hard as his name iu business trons ctiuns, an ! who had acquired the position of chairman because tho will gers for the most part feared him Hc was rich, and lucky was the man in CidQrburg whose house and land was not subject to mortgage held by the "mayor," as he insisted was hls right tllls,

Prince Metternich, in discussing the wonderful development of the worlds means of transportation by land and sea. used to tell the following aneedote with much relish. He was competed to wait an unusually long time one day for an audience with Napoleon. As he was waiting in the ante-chamoer a man rushed out with traces oi the deepest despair on his countenance. Napoleon was walking ap and down the room in great excitement. "Dld you see that man who justiwent outs he asked. "Certainly,n replied Met ternich. "The man is crazy. He has proposed to me to send my fleet to En- gland with boiling water The man was Robert Fulton, the inventor of the steamboat
