Balancing the Account.

Ii il now announced that the
thousand or more employees in An
drew Carncgic's Pittsburg iron
mills have concluded. to accept the
reduction in wages ordered by the
owner prior to his summer jaunt
across the sea. The reduction
means serious loss TO the men and
immense gain to the operator
gain which probably was inspired
by the desire to make good q great
loss sustained by Mr.. Carnegie
during the past year. He at
tempted to bear the Lake Superior
iron market and how he sue
ceeded il thus revealed in dis
patch from fshpcnfins, Michigan j.
The furnace men and producers
are unable to agree on a price.
and it is generally understood
that Andrew Carnegie, the Pitts
burg iron manufacturer, is the
backbone Of the furnace men IN
their effort to break down prices.
lie tried the experimental buying
several hundred thousand tons Of
ore last spring and selling it at a
loss Of so cents a ton to break
prices. but unsticcessfnlly.
Whether Ne will succeed in doing
so this year is what is Worrying
Mr.. Carnegie and the mining com.
panics both just at present The
stocks Of ore at the furnaces arc
growing low and the stocks OF I'M
sold orc on the docks at Ashtabula,
Fairp0rt. IOrain and Cleveland
are growing high. The probable
outcome Of the struggle will be
mutual concessions, by which
prices will be fixed and main
tanned for the balance of the sea-
son, or at least until October.
One party or both must yield
SOON or iron making and mining
will come to a standstill.
The loss of fifty cents ton on
several hundred thousand tons OF
ore is to be made good by cutting
the wages Of Pittsburg working
men. That is the method which
the apostle Of high protection
adopts to regulate business,

CROSS-EYED CHILDREN.
An Affection Caused By Using One Ey,
more Than the Other.

An Affection Caused BY Using One Eye
more Than the Other.
tWhen you are cross-eyed," said
the optician, leaning over his tray OF
glasses, lit is simply the result OF
having used one eye more than the
other. A child is born, let us say,
with one of his eyes considerably the
stronger. That is something often
happening. Sometimes the difference
in the visual power of the two eyes
may come when he is several years
old. This defect is in no way appar-
ent to parent or nurse, and the conse-
quence is that the child very soon gets
in the way Of becoming almost de-
pendent On the stronger eye. Now
hang one OF your arms down at your
side and use the other almost entirely,
become quite dependent on it, and you
will find how quickly the muscles of
the unused arm get fiabby and flaccid
Well, that Is just how it is with the
eye. The muscles OF the one that is
SO little used become soft and lax and
far that il falls into that position
which produces cross-eyed sight
where the rays of light coming to it
interSect those that come to the other
eye. After this has fully developed
an operation is the only remedy. This
Is cutting these fiabby and worse than
useless muscles and releasing the eys

too. the etes of every child should be
carefully examined. 1t is. think,
something not generally known that
at the infrmaries OF the city those
who can not afford TO pay an oculist
may get their children's eyes exam
lined free of charge. If there is really
any thing the matter with the child's
eyes the infirmary physician will
write prescription for eyeglasses,
And what are called dispensary glasses
may be bought anywhere from one
dollar up, and that is the remedy for

Valuable Suggestions Offered by Prof.

Valuable Suggestions Offered by Prof.
Thomas Shaw. of On ario.
The following interesting statements
On this subject are from the pen Of
Thomas Shaw. professor of agriculture
in the Ontario Agricultural College at
Guelph:
The attention OF the farmer of the
Dominion has never been sufficiently
drawn TO the great advantages that
flow from the growth OF an abundant
supply OF green food for the stock Of
the farm. In this climate of short
and OF oftentimes dry summers and
stern winters, which forever forbid
the successful growth of permanent
pastures of the European order and
on the European plan, it will doubtless
prove in the future the great resource
OF the farmer who is bent upon sus-
tanning the fertility of his land
through that best of all sources, stock
keeping. Some of its advantages are:
l. 1t effects a saving in land to the
extent OF enabling the farmer with
! but fifty acres to raise more beef, NUT
ton, milk, butter or cheese than the
one with one hundred acres who pays
no attention TO the growth of green
folders.
2. Ii effects great saving in fences,
one Of the largest items of outlay on
farm.
3. 1t secures a marked saving in
food, and OF animal muscle, in their
not having TO search for it.
4. 1t increases the quantity and
quality OF the manure TO the extent OF
at least one-halt OF all that is made
during the pasturing season.
5. lis effects upon the health and
condition o! the animals is beneficial.
since the supply of food is uniform and
sufficient, and they are free from an
noyance, worry and exposure.
6. 1t greatly increases the quantity
and quality OF the milk, butter and
beef product
Z. 1t very much enhances, in the
aggregate. the fertility of the soil.
8. 1t largely obviates the necessity
OF summer following. through its an
tagonism TO weed growth.
8. 1t would prove a boon TO the cot
ter, whose one COW must needs pasture
on the highway.
10. In conjunction with the silo it
provides green food for the stock all
the year, hence every farmer alive to
his own best interests will grow
greater or smaller proportion of green
fodder every year
The only objections that can be urged
against il are:
l. That lack Of exercise will impair
the health OF the stock-an objection
that viii be answered in a succeeding
bulletin.
2. The extra labor involved, which,
however, is abundantly compensated
by the increased returns. Country

Courage.
In l777. during the revolutionary
war, an officer in Virginia having I'm.

had wife and children who were dear
to him, and he would not do them such
an injustice as TO run the chance OF
plunging them into misery; and third,
that as his life was devoted to the
service OF his King and country II
would be a violation of both moral and
