How to Get Cinder Out of the Eye.

Nine persons out of every ten, with a
cinder or any foreign substance in the
eve. will instantly begin to rub the eye
with one hand while hunting for their
handkerchief with the other. They may,
and sometimes do, remove the offending
cinder, but more frequently rub till the
eve becomes infiamed, bind handker-
chief around the head and 20 to bed.
This is all wrong. The better way is
not to rub the eye with the cinder IN ut
all, but to rub the other eye as vigorously
as you like.

engine of the fast express from Bing-

station Law over a succession of sandy
hills and vet more sandy hollows, and as
the horse with which journeys to and
fro we're made was native Of the Cape,
and prenatally disposed to sloth, there
was often much uncertainty about the
length of time required for the journey.
On one occasion Mrs. Blank was very
anxious to catch a certain train, and as
that event seemed from the leisurely
gait OF the horse extremely uncertain, she
urged Mr.. Casseboom to make the beast
90 faster. The coachman piled whip and
reins with no apparent effect, while the
lady alternately examined her watch and
encouraged the driver. At last, however,
her patience became completely ex-

Leap year. This is the year in
which the ladies' leap before they look.
The year when females Of uncertain
age, and more uncertain tempers, are
allowed to go about seeking whom they
may devour. The year in which good
looking, unmarried mem are made to pay
a higher premium ON their life insurance
policies, ON account Of the extra hazar-
dous risks they run. The year whom
the grim and stifiy-crinolined Miss OF
forty summers and Heaven only knows
how many falls-can approach, and APP
propriats, any lone and defenceless
youth of the masculine persuasion,
found loose. There is no help for them.
No assistance near. There is absolutely
nothing IN tho constitution OF the Unit
ed States to prohibit this Jawless aprro-
priation, Of what ought to be, other
peoples property. They are NJ the
mercy Of the pettieoat government III
