Take Care OF the Eyes.

Young men and young women
between the ages of fourteen and
twenty-one ought TO be able tolearn
all their lessons, to write all their
essays, to practice all their music
in period of five hours day for
five days out of the seven.
One source of injury to the eyes,
more fertile than many have an idea
of. is the light reflected from snow.
Those who suffer from that cause
should wear blue or smoked colorcd
glasses, not too deeply colorcd, how
ever.
Very few parents, doubtless, are
aware that near-sightcdness is a
trouble which may be acquired, and
that certain faults in management
are influential in its production.
Children and youths who are al
lowed to pass too much time read
ing, practising at the piano, engaged
in needIework, or the like, are more
often near-sighted than those who
are much out of doors enjoying
sports, such as archery, ball play
ing, tennis and cricket-sports
which train the eyes to see long
distances.
Regarding the length of time the
eyes may be continuously used, DR.
Soosa, the eminent specialist, has
said: sit is very hard, if not impos.
slble, to lay down exact rules on
this point. Perhaps, however, ii
may be correctly said that children
under seven years of age should not
be forced to use their eyes continue
ally on small objects held near then
longer than a few minutes at /.
time, ,"-Ne,o York Graphic.

"The tendency of all cities" OBJ
serves traveller, ''is to grow away
from rather than along the river or
coast. The circumscribed limits of
New York compel this here, but you
will find in all the cities where there
is chance for expansion in the
back country the cities grow away
from the river or coast, which is
abandoned to commercial purposes,
as in this city. The riverside, like
the Battery, often offers the most
pleasant place for residence, and
it was selected as such by the origf.
nal residents, but in the develop
ment of the city, the march of pro-
gress is into the country. Think
over all the cities you have visited,
and you will find this to be the case. !"

Press Comments.

On the Lamar subject the New
York World says: "Tho result marks
William Z. Chandler's first failure
as a bloody shirt leader in the Sen
ate"
The Sun says: at is not improper
to say the Republican fight against
Mr.. Lamar has been bungling
piece of business from the begin
ming"
The Times says: "The confrma-
ton of the nomination of Mr.. La
mar as Justice of the Supreme court
so soon as the question could be
brought to a vote, is a severe blow
to the petty politicians who have
been trying to revive the war feel
ing in connection with this appoint
ment. The position of the little
clique of self appointed Republican
leaders has been attacked from eve
ry side. 1t is very earnestly to be
hoped that the party will take u
lesson from this experience, and
that the men who have so ignomini-
ausly failed in an attempt SO mis-
chievous will be shorn of some of
their influence and compelled to
give place to others of more sense
and with more decent standard OF
conduct"

Senator VOORHEES,, of Indiana, has
introduced a bill in the United
States Senate providing for the re-
vision of the national banking law,
among the provisions of which is
that of reducing the amount OF
bonds deposited by the banks, per-
rnitting national bank notes to be
counted as part of the cash re-
ceipts of the banks, and relieving
them of the necessity of keeping a
cash reserve against deposits. There
are also provisions in the bill i'm
posing checks upon managers OF
national banks in regard to invest
ments in real estate securities and
providing penalties for making
loans contrary to law.

y
recess is over and Congress is at last
settled FOR real business. There was
very little of Importance done du-
ring the first weeks of the session,
owing to the length of time neces-
sary for the appointment of the
various committees i'll the House.
This trying ordeal to the speaker,
Mr.. Carlisle, is over, and we can
fancy that it is with sigh of relief
that he realizes that the great ma
tionaI machinery is in motion. The
important question which presents
itself is: what will be done in the
fiftieth Congress for the good of the
nation2 As we behold it, there
seems to be no doubt that it's oppor-
tunitics for making a shining rec
ord arc unusually bright and prom
ising. Many country stands per-
picked ut times when, on account
OF financial dissstsf, its treasury is
empty, or owing to distressing nat
ural causes it's people are reduced to
beggary. We labor, however, un-
der the difficulty of having our trea-
sury vaults loaded with money
which at present cannot be used for
the assistance of the country, and
in addition, the burden is becoming
moro onerous every day from the
fact that unwise legislation has i'm
posed a rate of taxation which in
stead of lessening is increasing this
state of things.
Money is flowing into the treasu-
ry and is staying there, as no salts
factory outlet has been found. Like
the great river, the breaking of
whose banks, and the departure
from the natural channel of which
spread dire disaster in China a few
days ago, in that it formed nigh
ty lake without outlet, our treasury
surplus means disaster if allowed to
accumulate. The work of making
q satisfactory outlet is what Cong
ress must do. The President in the
most striking manner, has suggest
ed course of action, and his illus
trious example has been followed by
others, and sayings wise and other
wise have been given to the coun-
try.
His advice briefly expressed this:
Money is accumulating in the trea-
sury which we cannot use; that mo-
ney can be. used for the good of our
people. and inasmuch as such is the
object of every wise government, it
must be left with the people instead
of gathering it into the treasury; in
other words, there must be less tax
alton.
Such words are indeed welcome,
for they bespcal a heartfelt desire
on the part of the people. The
means. by which this desirable state
is to be attained are most ably out
lined in his message to Congress,
and will form the subject of many
future reflections on national issues.
Will Congress act heartily in this
matter, as the President suggests
If it does, this session will ever be
remembered as one of the most dis
tinguishcd in the history of our
great country:f

The New. York Tribune, the ever

bloody shirt chamber, conveys this
covert threat to Messrs. R,ddleberg-
or, Stewart and Stamford, the
three Republican Senators who
had the courage and manhood to
vote for the confirmation of Mr..
Lamar 1--WE believe they have
made a mistake and that they will
live to see it." If our Rip Van
Wrinkle contemporary were awake
it might read in the actions of these
three Republican Senators tho signs
of the times. Despite the vigorous
of the party whip they
have broken ranks; they couldn't
stand the foul odor of tho ancient
bloody garment under their noses
any longer. They will remain in
the party but they will not keep
step with the bloody shirt battalion.
And the sentiment of these Senators
reflects the sentiment of tens of
thousands ofintelligent Republicans.
But, nevertheless, the majority. of
the party are welded to the fun

Representative Cumming, of New
York, proposes by bill introduced
in congress- to provide for the
licensing of railroad conductors.
1t is measure advocated by the
conductors themselves at a recent
convention. 1t requires that no
conductor shall be employed by
company unless he has been exam
ined and furnished with certifi-
cate by board to be created by the
bill, and such board shall be under
the control of tho treasury depart
ment at Washington, who shall
provide an educational test for ap-
plicants for license. This move
ment will probably be opposed by
railroad companies who will doubt
less not want the government to
interfere in their private aftairs in
this way.

short. Sometimes it doesn't. We have

PENALTIES FOR CHEATING A.
CARDS.

The two children of Sig. Carmona's
second wife died, poisoned. Their death
left Carmona free and rich man,
able to pursue the great ambitions of
his life. He desired to become Minis.
ter to France from Spain, but that
could not be, as he was Mexican by
birth. So he travelled to Spain and
bought the title of Marquis, and from
there he went to Paris to live. His
hotel is one of the most magnificent,
sumptuous mansions in that brilliant
city. There he entertains great peo-
pie in a royal manner, taking un-
bounded pleasure in showing them
unique pieces Of furniture gathered
from remote parts of the globe. He
makes great deal of money in gamb-
ling, wasting it on fast acquaintance
and horses. He visits Mexico fire..
quently. One night not long ago while
there he engaged himself in "play"
with friend. The game waxed inter.
esting as the day began to break. Sud
denly Carmona noticed clever trick
played by his opponent, SO, without a
word, he rose and shot him through the
heart. On another occasion when Car
mona was losing his game he resorted
to cheating, and was observed in so do
ing by his opponent, who reached over
the table, pinning Carmona's hand to
the table with a knife, then departed
from the house, leaving this singular
gentleman in rather painful situation.

end of his rope.--Merican letter to
