Preservation nf the Exesirht

The best preventative of eyesight is out
door exercise. A cold bath every morning
stimulates the circulation, and with an ac-
tive bounding of the blood through the arte-
ries assimilation and elimination bring about
good results. Heated rooms with poor illu-
mination are prolific source of weak eyes.
Reading or writing with the light falling on
the page and rejecting its rays ipto the eyes
often brings about n spasm of tn little mus
Giles which govern the accommodations and
the result is to exhaust the eyes. The light
should always come from behind the individ-
ual, and fall obliquely over the left shoulder.
People who indulge in overlooking, are care
less about clothing, travel with damp feet,
or dine irregularly, all suffer sooner or later
from defective vision. A habit quite com
mon among fashionable ladies, to whom nat
ure has denied black or brown eye, is to
seek the secrets of the chemists shop, and
apply a weak solution of belladonna or homa-
tropine to dlate the pupil and render the
cornea more brilliant. Even the cologne
bottle has been drained of its contents to
give brilliancy to the eye Such habits are
only to be spoken of to be condemned Let
the natural Lubricant be the only cosmetic
used. See that the tear ducts are kept
healthy by proper means and nature will
then do her duty.-New York Commercial
Advertiser.

Playing the Baby Act.

According to the Union the remov val of
Postmaster Huesing is due to democratic
influences, and that if certain democrats
had not opposed his appointment at the
time it was made. he would now be al
lowed to serve out his time unmolested.
This is the veriest kind of rot, but is on a
par with the usual tactics of the Union
Huesing was removed because the re-
publicans have been clsmOring for his
scalp ever since Harrison was inaugur
ated. and the Union displays its natural
sneakish instincts by trying to place the
responsibility on the democrats. One
would think to read it, that Hueslng
was the only postmaster removed in the
state, whereas they have been decapi-
tated by the wholesale lately OF course
they were all removed by reason of
charges filed by members of their own
party. Poor. innocent republicans, how
extremely virtuous they arel

Were Mammoths Once Food for Men?

At a recent meeting of the Scientific society
OF Copenhagen Professor Steenstrup gave an
account of the result of his examination Of
the great mammoth deposit at Predmost, in
Moravia. DIR. Wankel and Professor Maschka,
who have devoted much attention TO the sub
ject, are of opinion that the mammoths
whose remains are found in this district were
killed by man, and that their bodies were
dragged thither to be eaten Professor
Steenstrup, on the contrary, holds that the
mammoths themselves sought the locality
and that they must have died from want of
water, or from some other cause with which
man had nothing TO do. The splits in the
remains are due, he thinks, TO the action of
water and sand, and afford no support to the
notion that the knuckles were cleft for the
sake of the marrow 1t is certain that some
of the bones have been exposed to the action
of fire, but Professor Steenstrup maintains
that the traces of fire may be due to the fact
that fires were ut one time lighted upon them
On some of them decorative lines have been
scratched, but these may have been made
long after the mammoth was extinct in Mo
ravia.-Nature.

saws: 1.-THE south branch of the Rock
I Island railroad, which is to be built from
Fort Reno south through the Indian Ter
ritory and Texas to the Gulf, has been
lost to this city. The surveying and
locating engineers changed their course
last Monday some thirty miles northwest
of this CITY, and have the line located
now to Bowie, on the Fort Worth and
Denver, thirty miles vest of Gainesville.
The line will be located from Bowie south
through Grafton, Wise county, twelve
miles west of Decatur, thence to Weather
