Care Of the Eyes.

Sit erect in your chair when read
ing, and as erect when writing as
possible. If you bend downwards
you not only gorge the eyes with
blood, but the brain as well, and
both suffer. The same rule should
apply to the use of the microscope.
Get one that will enable you to look
at things horizontally, not always ver-
tically.
Have a reading lamp for night use.
N. BIN reading the light should
be on the book or paper and the eyes
in the shade. If you have no read
ing lamp. turn your back to the light
and you may read without danger to
the eyes.
Hold the book at your focus; if
that begins to get far away, get spec
tacles.
Avoid reading by the Pickering
llSuI vi GllC HIC.
Avoid straining the eyes by read
ing in the cleaning.
Reading in bed is injurious as
rule. It must be admitted, however,
that in cases of sleeplessness when
the mind is inclined to ramble over
thousand thoughts minute, reading
steadies the thoughts and conduces
to sleep.
Do not read much in a railway
carriage. myself always do, how
ever, only in good light, and l in
variably carry good reading lamp
to hook on behind me. Thousands of
people would travel by night rather
than by day if the companies could
only see their way to the exclusive
use of the electric lamp.
Authors should have black ruled
paper instead of blue, and should
never strain their eyes by reading too
fine types.
The bedroom blinds should be red
or gray, and the head of the bed
should be toward the window.
Those ladies who not only write.
but sew, should not attempt the black
seam by night.
When you come to an age that sug-
gests the wearing of spectacles, let
no false modesty prevent you from
getting q pair. If you have only one
eye, an eyeglass will do; otherwise
it is folly.
Go to the wisest and best optician
you know of, and state your wants
and your case plainly, and be assur-
ed you will be properly fitted.
Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1889-10-21

Remember that bad spectacles are
most injurious to the eyes, and that
good and we'll chosen ones IRE a de-
cided luxury.
Get pair for reading with, and If
necessary long distance pair for
use out of doors.

After dinner she put on her hat
and stole out into the street. She
had been indoors all day and could
bear it no longer. The June even

ple-minded couples were lettering
with frank affection in Regent Park.
She had not gone far before she saw
large familiar figure bearing down
in her direction.
ooh, how | hate him hate him !"
she thought again, while her heart
beat with maddening rapidity. eff

will pretend not to see me-
But Jack, for it was he, made no
such pretense. On the contrary, he
not only raised his hat, but came up
to her with outstretched hand. She
put her cold fingers mechanically into
his, and scanned his face; there was
neither mirth nor disgust in it, and the
thought flashed across her, chilling,
while it relieved her, that he probably
attached little Importance to an Incl
dent which she, knowing her own Sc
cret, had deemed but one interpreter
ton possible. And then, before she
knew what had happened, Jack was
walking along by her side, pouring
out torrent of indignant reproaches
as to her desertion of him in favor of
Dicky Carshalton at the Warrington's
party.

She changed her tone suddenly.

He stopped short in the path, seiz-
ing both her hands and looked down
at her with stern and passionate eyes.
A close-linked couple strolling by
remarked that there had been row,
and then refreshed themselves with
half dozen kisses.
''Ethel,' said Jack in an odd voice,
''it's no use pretending. You do
think of me sometimes; L happen to
know it,
She was looking up at him; but at
this allusion the sweet face flushed
and dropped suddenly.

cry? and why on earth did he speak
so low? "Ethel, do you know what

The Dead.

With white fingers clasped DER his motonless
breast
And eyes closed forever to earths changing light
His struggles all over, his sad heart at rest,
The strong man laid low is pitiful sight
His foes stand affair with feeling of awe,
His friends gather near in the shadow of grief,
And each feels a fear ON his hearts fbers gnaw,
From which he in vain seeks speedy relief
For somehow the dead rs they he in the shroud,
In eloquent silence speak far more than words,
Rebuking the selfish, the vain aud the proud,
The king his throne and the Lord with his
herds.
We take up the casket with tenderest hands,
Our heads bare and bowed in humtys guise-
For this is the homage that Nature demands
Alike from the lowly, the high and the wise.
We dare not to question the future of him
Who closes his task and wlthdraws from the
strife;
The scene open before us looks hazy and dim
And ends at the borders of supena life.
We know that he comes bringing nothing at all;
We see that he goes, taking nothing away;
We all come and go at the summonmg call
Ofpowers that we know not, but all must obey.
In vain do seek beings secret to solve;
We catch only echoes from life's future shore;
But long the earth in its course shall revolve,
The thoughtful will ponder the mystery DER,
The still and small voices that speak to our minds,
The glmpses of spirits that startle eyes
Reveal that though subtler in form than the winds,
The soul still survives when the earth-body dies.
But this is no answer-the secret remains;
The unseen unknown is mystery still;
Our living and dying no angel explains,
hor,e ,l,af 60 aoftI ,aT emit
We're never so near the solution as when
We mourn in the presence of those who dead;
But silence dreadful as palses then
Has never been broken by words that they said.
So helpless, so silent, so still and so cold
So weak, yet no longer to trembe with fears,
To them earth is useless, save but to enfold
The perishing dust we embalm with tears
Bethink thee, oh mortal, a brother lies there!
His heart warm, and its beat free
AS yours, now so silently lifting prayer,
Well knowing ere long you'll be helpless as he.
Does't pay to be selfish, or pay to do wrong,
That pelf may be piled to your credit in bank?
What profit to you the applause of the throng,
When yielding it up without thank?
Look into the face of the dead, and declare
Henceforth you will work for the good of man.
kind;
Look forward to what you will be, and then swear
Injustice shall never find place in your mind.
For do you not think that the pitiful man
Wllpleasanter find it when out of the form?
That when to help all he perfected his plan,
He builded to s heller his soul from the storm?
Who knoweth his destiny? Who can foreten
The lot that awaits him when earth-fe is done?
He only who doeth his life's labors well
Can calmly contemplate his last setting sun.
Then pause We, oh mani in your selfish career,
And take not the share that your poor fellow
needs;
Give help to the weak and the heart-broken cheer,
And let all your works show your wealth in your
deeds.

Some Curious Facts.

There is lady in Milwaukee who
is the mother nine children. Not one
of them was named until it was II
years old. They were simply called
by their nicknames and their num-
bers, Zone, two," etc. When they
were twelve years old each one chose
his own name and was baptized.
There are 100000 people in the
United States who have artificial legs
or hands. This number does not in
clude the veterans of the Union OF
the Confederate Army. In New York
City and vicinity there are about five
thousand men and women who have
supplied the place of lost limbs with
the manufactured article.
Italians are not very strong In do
nestle ties. OF 43, 900 Italians that
landed in Castle Garden last year,
"a 900 were males. The emigration
of females from Italy is smaller than
from any other country, averaging
but ID per cent of the whole number
which landed. From Germany the
percentage is 40; from Ireland, 40.
One of the most surprising features
of the modern business world is the
extensive use of cottonseed, formerly
considered worthless. According to
the New York Tribune over 100000
pounds of these seeds are now pressed
for their oil, from thirty-six to forty
tons being obtained from each ton.
The consumption of cottonseed oil is
increasing both in this country and in
Europe, and new uses for the oil are
constantly being discovered.
An average of five feet of water is
estimated to fall annually over the
whole earth, and, assuming that con-
densation takes place at an average
height of 5000 feet, scientists con-
clude that the force of evaporation to
supply such rainfall must equal the
lifting of 322, 100000 pounds of wa
ter 5000 feet in every minute, or
about 100000, 100000 horse power
constantly exerted. OF this prodig-
ious amount of energy thus created
very small proportion is transferred
to the waters that run back through
rivers to the sea, and still smaller
fraction is utilized by man; the re-
mainder is dissipated in space.
An amazing system of carrying lit
tie children as passengers seems to
have been in practice hitherto upon
the Russian railways. The Russian
Ministry of the Interior has just is
sued an ordinance to all railway Off
Gals prohibiting the further 'Epack-
ing of small children Qiterally suck
lingsO in baskets, to the number of
eight in basket y, and forward
ing them to the founding houses in
the great towns as hand luggage"
This abuse, says the Ministry in the
circular, is no longer to be tolerated,
since it involves a serious injury to
the health of the children, and is also
an attempt to evade the regulations
for the carriage of passengers by rail.
In Russia, "infants must be paid for"
