Don't Rub The Eye.

When you get cinder or speck Of
dust or other offensive particle in your
eye, don't rub it. Don't touch it. Don't
pull down the lid. Don't put your hand
near it. Let it alone. This is very
hard advice to follow, and in nine cases
out of ten you will find yourself rub
bing your eye before you know it. But
if you can refrain from touching your
eye at all the action of that organ will
itself cast out the offending mote in
much quicker time. and with far less
irritation, while your efforts would only
hinder it and perhaps fasten the in
truder SO that it will stay q long time.
Of course if it is a particle Of metal you
will consult surgeon or oculist at
once; but ordinary substances are best
treated as above indicated. Some
people say, rub the other eye," but
this is of no use.-Good Housekeeping.

CHAPTER ",
AN OPPORTUNITY LOST.

On leaving his bride in the parIor,
Eugene Clev Gland had fastened upstairs
to the room in which Mildred a little
late sought seclusion.
After closing the door, he had once
more carefully read over the note he had
received, and then, as he thought, thrust
it into his vest pocket.
His OvercOat lay across the back of q
chair, and his hat was on the table close
by. In putting on his coat the somewhat
crumpled note, which had been rather
carelessly thrust into his pocket, fell out
upon the floor.
This, unfortunately, he did not notice;
and having buttoned his coat and seized
his hat, he fastened from the room.
Passing down a back stairway, in order
to avoid attracting attention, he descend
ed to the basement, kept on through the
servants hall, and SO at last gained the
street.
For a moment he hesitated, as if uncer-
tain what course to pursue, and then
started at q rapid pace toward Sixth
avenue
He had hardly reached the corner when
he saw an empty CAB approaching. He
at once hailed 1t, and as it drew up to
the sidewalk, sprang inside.

opened the door.

Forty-seventh street, was the answer;
and in another moment he was being
rapidly whirled up the avenue.
Here We are, sir, exclaimed the dri-
yer, as the cab came to a stand and he
sprang from his seat, But before he could
open the door Eugene was on the side
walk.
Wait here, he said; Il shall not detain
you for more than ten minutes, and run
ming rapidly up the steps, he gave a loud
ring at the bell.
He waited for some time, and hearing
no movement inside, rang again.
moment later he distinguished the
sound Of heavy footsteps slowly ascend
ing the basement stairs, and then. with
aggrav ating deliberation, approaching
through the hall.
The key turned in the lock, and the
door was opened just enough to permit
the person within to get q fair view of the

BILE as il will be taught from university

to be a science neither for nor against
any particular religious faith. but, like
all other sciences. running parallel TO
religious teachings That there is a.
bundant room for instruction in biblical
science over and above the doctTinal
and catechetic teaching of religious IN
structors in all our educational institu-
tons should be sufficiently manifest.
1t is IS a science. the logical and ord

il simply stands on par with other
sciences. la its method, it is neither
more nor less religious than they. 1t is
its subject matter which is, more than
that of any other science, indispensable
to the maturing of an ideal manhood.
This subject matter may be defined rs
the development of the religious con-
seriousness of the Hebrews as effected in
their history and exhibited in their liter
azure, New Testament literature being of
course included. This development we
may fairly call divine revelation. To
have some rational and scientific con-
ception OF the process and history from
which the religious and spiritual con-
sciousness of Chrislendom has issued,
would seem to be essential to the train
ing of every man of culture, while the
study itself is no less iItted TO stimulate
the spiritual and moral faculties. than
the study OF the history Of philosophy to
stimulate the reflective and critical ia
culties. We Judge therefore, that it
must soon become as much a recognized
part of the ordinary university cuui-
cuum as the study of classical history
and literature, and with results to
spiritual and moral growth in the stu
dent which will be all the more pro-
foundly beneficial that they are Incl
