How to Save the Eyesight.

Next to sunlight the incandescent
light gives the best illumination for
reading, and all notions of the injurious
effect Oh the eye 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
Oh the eyes. The act of lOcaliZatiOn 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-signted child should wear
spectacleS. because they are the best
preventive against increase of near
SightedneSS, and also because he loses
great part of education in not being
able to see more than few feet away.
For the eyes in healthy state there
is h:lt one safe wash-pure cold water.
When the eyelids are intlamed the best
lotion is weak solution of salt aud
water. Never apply poultices to the
eyes or use "eye-Waters" without the
advice of physician.
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 see
better and the other that the
strain on the eyes may he relieved.
In reading the book or paper should
be held at distance of from ten to fif-
teen inches from the eyes. The read
er's 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 injurious to
the eyes as poor light in reading.

In1prisoned Ghosts.

In various parts of China there is a
belief that the souls of atrocious GRIM
inals who have either been executed or
died in prison are sent back from Hades
by Yenlo, the judge there, to undergo a
further term of imprisonment, one
death not being enough to expiate their
crimes. When the second term of i'm
prisonment is judged to have expired
the district magistrate beseeches the
tutelary deity of the city to accompany
him to the prison in order to acquaint
the ghost with his release. The order
is supposed to reach the imprisoned by
burning it, ceremony which is sol
EMMY carried out in the jail. Aug. 10
last the district magistrate of the city
of Soochow had placards posted up in
viting subscriptions of imitation money
for the ghosts then in the city Jail. This
was all duly burned and thus converted
into currency, which would be useful
to the ghosts on the long journey before

SHE IDINED WITH A KING.
A Pennsylvania Lady a Guest at
theI&Oyal Palace of Siam.

A Pennsylvania Lady a Guest at
thelsoyal Palace of Siam.
Pittsbnrg Dispatch
iodine with the King of Siam was
the rare privilege of an Allegheny county
lady recently. Miss Kate N. Fleeson,
of Neville Island, was the lucky guest,
and letters have Just been received by
her friends giving an account of the
royal feast. Miss FleesOn left Pittsburg
year ago next month as PreSbyte-
rian missionary to the far-away land. 1t
required almost seven months cOntin-
ual travelling before she reached La
kawn, her destination in Siam.
1t appears that the king and queen
both regard Protestant missionaries
with favor. and the evangelistic work
in their domains has received many
marks of imperial pleasure. Miss Flee
son, with several other missionaries,
was in Chieng Mai about the mid
die Of June, several days before she
came to the end of her journey. The
kings invitation to the party to dine in
his new summer palace was conveyed
by the queen. 1t was accepted, and it
was understood it would be nothing
more than an informal dinner.
they were shown to the general recep-
ton chamber, and were seated OIL divanS
upholstered with Persian rugs. Drink
ing mugs of gold and silver were then
given each visitor and these were quick
ly followed by waiter bearing solid
gold chest filed with ''betel." This
the guests could not eat, and the at
PENDANTS, seeing their embarrassment.
brought them tea in China cups and
Saucers.
Then they were introduced to the
king. He is a charming old gentleman,
dressed in pure white, with gold and
purple trimmings. He led the way to
the banquet hall. The table was beau
tiful with silverware OF cOStlieSt de-
signs and cut-glass vessels. The dinner
was good American meal, but it was
quite extensive, being served in twenty
courses. A conversation was conducted
by the king in formal manner. After
the repast his highness summoned the
palace acrObats to the stage at the
threshold of the adjoining room. They
perfarmed Skillful tricks and featS for
the next hour. Miss Fleeson describes
this part of the entertainment as being
somewhat of bore.
Miss FleeSOn had another treat in the
ollupO VI ui CiCpIdIC Ifu6 IlOul SAlCHS
Mai to Laknawn. 1t lasted three days
and was Through a wild section of Siam.
They tented in the woods at night.
There were five elephants in the train,
and the young lady says the swaying
and rocking was not unlike that of a
ship at sea. There were many high
mountains to climb, and general sur
prise was expressed at the easy way in
which the big elephants accomplished

An Energetic Railroad President.

A prominent railroad man says that if
Mrs. Gould, of the Covington & Macon
railroad, were a man she would be the
best railroad worker in the world. To
show the truth of this he gives little
incident: During the last heavy rain
part of the track washed mp and several
cars were derailed, while some of the
employees were hurt. The superintend-
ent of the work was standing around and
hardly knew what to do. In about
three hours afterwards a crank car
could be seen coming down the track at
a rapid rate, with six men and Mrs.
Gould. Upon reaching the scene she
jumped Off the car, administered brandy
to the sufferers, while she had fire
made and placed thereon a teapot, the
contents to be used by the wounded. In
the meantime she had all the hands put
to work, and it was only a short time
until the whole wreck was put in order.
During the time, though, she saw one
of the hands trying to play off, and
Immediately took out her pocket
book and paid him and told him to quit.
This he did not like to do, but the other
hands forced him. When one of the
hands does not do his duty she at once
pays him up and ships him. 1t is said
she is lavish with money, and Athens
will probably be much better off finan-
cially now that she has taken the con-
struction of the road in hand. This is
something, though, that the people down
this WaV seldom see.

The Core and the Skin OF 1t.

New York Daily News.
1t was tremendous nit that was
made by Congressman Mills-Aiills of
tariff reform bill renown-laSt night at
the great Democratic meeting at the
Academy of Music in Brooklyn. when,
after quoting Mr.. Blaine'S phrase that,
in this presidential campaign. 1.-The
issue was one of labor from skin to core,
and from core back again to Skin," he
said:
Upon the part of Democracy of the
United States l accept that as correct
definition"
The mighty audience recognized the
pertinency of the point in an outburSt
of applause that shook the building.
Let it be SO submitted to the people
of this young, vigorous and progressive
republic, dedicated by its founders to
the vindication of the rights and inter
eSts of labor, Which has always been
and shall always be recognized by the
Democracy as a fundamental principle
of our fern of government.
Mr.. Mills speech briStled with points
that went right 10 the core of the ques-
ton and back to the skin of it again.

tistics (Which he has at his fingers
convincing force worth whole CAM
paignful of Blaine magnetism as les
son and an inspiration to the masses
upon the significance of this political
contest.
This was the direction in which
moved the eloQuence of Mr.. Mills, not
among flowers of speech, but with the
power of plain truth and demonstration
.'Our Republican friends are very
anxious about capital. Now, don't shed
your tears about capital. That can take
care of itself. We are after the laborer.
/ am going to stick close to him. The
Democratic has been the labor party all
its life"
No tropes and metaphors about that,
but it went to the core of the issue. and
thereby the keen-witted and yet sta
tistically-armed and argumentatively
equipped Texan orator hung his tale and
laid before that immense assemblage of
Democrats the plain Interpretation OF
the positions and merits of the two great
political parties now confronting each
other before the country.

and in North Minneapolis, and at each
place the street was so damned that pas
sage even for cars was almost impossible.
The Democrats had engaged Turner
hall for their meeting place, and the
Republicans took the Washington rink,
but the general crowd preferred the
street and left the few partisans. The
scenes on the streets were as usual on
such occasions, and were confined to
rash crowds, cheering and yelling as
the news met their particular
views. Betting was very lively,
especially on local tickets,
for the result was largely in the dark all
night. At II o'clock if was possible to

a gambling furore took possession of

its to the re-opened thirst factories. at
midnight there was scarcely any dimi-
mutton of the vast throng, or any lessen
ing of the excitement. especially as the
city returns began to show up at that
time.
A SAMPLE OF BLUSTER.

Third street engine house, at the voting
place OF the Sixteenth precinct of the
Fourth ward "Babb is elected by

Mayor Ames. "Bet you a hun

after the polls closed that Pillsbury

so the bandying went, but no money

A LIGHT VOTE.
The Third ward, which has always
been known as a great Democratic
stronghold, had over 1000 voters regis
tered, but the vote cast will not prOba
bly, exceed 1880. The state, county and
city tickets were voted very nearly
straight, but the ward tickets for alder
men were very badly scratched. as
were also the legislative tickets.
When the polls opened. there was
great effort made to get the German
voters to trade off SwensOn, the Demo
cratic candidate for sheriff. for jim Eye,
his Republican opponent, Oh the score
that the ScandnavianS were anti-Cath-
Olics. This movement was stopped
been cast. The charge was made
that this movement was started by the
Irish, and reaction set in against all
the candidates of Irish nationality in
consequence, which has probably caused
the defeat of nearly all of them, includ-
ing even William McArdle, who was
running for alderman in the strongest
Democratic ward in the city.
In the Fifteenth precinct of the
Fourth ward two ladies approached the
polls. When Eva Mcdonald tickets
were rendered them one of them seized
the ballot, tore it in two and stamped
the bits of paper into the mud, while
her eyes fairly flashed with the anger
she seemed to be anxious to display
rather than to conceal.
