Young people, when they write, no
matter to whom, or for what purpose.
ought to get into the habit OF putting in
the stops where they belong. II they
are slOvenly and careless in this par.
ticular, those they write to will often
make mistakes in understanding theii
letters. Printers commit great blunders
sometimes, just because the authors
they have to deal with either do not
point their manuscripts at all or poin,
them wrong. The worst mistake result.
ing from bad pointing that ever heard
of was something like this: "a lady in
Massachusetts, had q husband who was
about making . sea voyage, and she
wrote q note and gave it to her minister
to read on the Sabbath. in which she
meant to say: "A member of this con-
gregation. going to sea, his wife desires
prayers for his safety" But instead OF
reading it thus, on account of the points
being used wrong. it was read in this
manner: "A member of this congrega.
tion, going to sea his wife, desires pray
ers for his safety."-Farm and Fireside

ABOUT EYE-sTRAIN.


| q 10 the Most Prolific Source Of Continual
Headache.
Pain is often caused by An irritated
nerve far distant from the seat of the
pain, especially in the case Of persons
who have inherited very susceptible
nervous organization.
The Medical Record has an article on
eye-strain as a cause OF headache and
neuralgia, by the eminent expert, DR..
Ambrose L. Ranney, in which the writer
gives q record Of fifty consecutive cases
Of headache and neuralgia (which he
treated exclusively by correcting visual
defect. The success of this treatment
was signal, and in many cases marvel
Gus.
DR.. Ranney's special attention WAS
1rawn to the subject by his own expert
ence. Ten years ago he WAS almost in
despair from continual headache. Two
able physicians had treated his case
without result. As his sight was appar-
emily perfect and unusually acute, NO de-
feet of vision was thought Of. At length.
however, he requested that stropine bo
instilled into his eyes. This revealed .
defect, which was 1t once relieved by
appropriate glasses, with the immediate
and permanent cessation Of his head
ache.
1t seems that this eye-strain may ex-
ist and be the source of most painful
neuralgia, not only in the head, but
elsewhere, and the person be utterly un-
conscious of defect Of vision. Some
cases reqaire not only glasses, but tho
serving Of some ocular muscle-tenot-
omy.
One Of DR.. Ranney's patients was
young lady who for Ave years had been
unable to write, read, sew or to see her
most intimate friends. A constant pain
in her head was rendered intolerable BY
any use Of her eyes, or any excitement
She could not walk across the room
without difficulty. Tenotomy was per-
formed ON three of her ocular muscles,
. rapid improvement followed, and
after several weeks she returned homo

Another patient had succumbed to
insomnia and nervous pros
tration; he was compelled 10 abandon
and took trip to Europe with.
out benefit No medical treatment
helped him. His brother. . prominent
physician Of New York, advised him to

eyes restored the mans health, strength
and mental vigor within six weeks. Two
years have elapsed without return Of

THE ARCTIC CURRENT.

DammlnG II 30 - to Temper the Climate
Of Labrador aud newfoundland.
The announcement that e. j. Bender
has succeeded in making arrangements
in London for the purchase Of the Que
bee 4 Montreal railway and its exten-
sion to the Straits Of Belle Isle revives
the proposal of General Sir Selby Smyth,
laid before the Dominion Government in
1879, for diverting the Arctic current
from the Gulf Of st. Lawrence by fill-
ing in the Straits Of Belle Isle, which
would serve as bridge connecting New.
foundland with the mainland for rail-
way purposes. General Smyth's idea Of
constructing . dam across the straits
does not appear to have been original
with that gentleman, - Lieutenant
Maury, IL is understood, laid . similar
proposal before the British Government
over thirty years ago. In his report
to the Dominion Government Cen
eral Smyth draws attention to the
fact that the Straits OF Belle
Isle are open to the northeast, thus re-
ceiving the direct flow of the polar cur
rent down Bafin's bay. This icy stream,
at from two to four miles an hour, pours
its way into the Gulf Of st. lawrence,
overcoming by its greater density the
warm gulf stream from the southern
latitudes- The cold stream, he saws,
divides into two branches near Cane
L'Amour-one running westward up the
gulf and the other southeastward. dis
charging into the ocean again between
Newfoundland and Cape Breton. The
explains that this branch then
sweeps along the eastern coast Of Nova
Scotia and shoulders on the warm water
further out to sea, which would other
wise find its way along the shores Of the
continent and into the gulf. II, there
fore, the polar current could be excluded
and detected eastward OF Newfound-
land into the open ocean the climatic
effect by the exchange Of cold and
warm, would be very marked in the
gulf and adjacent shores. Ottawa lOnt)

An ApproorIate Hymn.

Some time ago prominent scientist
lectur ~ in one of the leading churches
of st. Paul, and, in the course OF an
hours talk, Undertook to show the rela-
tion between geology and the Bible. 1t
may be that he was not as clear as was
expected, it may be that the arguments
of scientist were too deep for the au-
dience, and still again 1t is possible
that the warm evening produced a
drowsiness that drugged the senses of
the hearers. At all events, the rela-
tionship sought to be established was
not very sharply outlined TO the audi
ence, despite the number of degrees
the speaker has had tackled to his name
by institutions of learning, and, AZ the
learned man ceased his discourse, a
look of doubt as to just what was the
object of the lecture was apparent on
the faces Of all. While thus in q state
of uncertainty the pastor OF the church
jumped up and announced as the
closing hymn: Nobody Knows but
Jesus" The look of doubt vanished as
bright smiles beamed throughout the
hall, and the hymn was sung with an
emphasis.

Johnny Comes Marching Home.

Five years ago little Johnny Hale,
then lad only eight years old, was

Don. Fool with Persp.ratien.

Considering ali that has been written
and published about sun-strobe, and the
danger that arises from dry, non-per-
spring skin, ii Is really amazing how
many people call for preparations TO
prevent perspiration. There are several
of these, and they are all elective, the
main ingredient in each being the same.
The effect is not only 10 stop perspira-
ton wherever the preparation Is ap-
piled, but also to increase the tempera-
ture several degrees and seriously in
lure the skin. Ladies, OF course, use
such complexion preservers more than
men, but there are not wanting young
men who, TO keep up spotless appear
ance, viii subject themselves TO annoy
ances and take dangerous chances The
only legitimate manner 70 check per-
spiration is 10 keep quiet and avoid ex,
ceSsiye exercise.

q TRAGEDY.

Walking up the village street
Came a maiden young and fair,
Tripping on with fairy feet,
Clad in gown OF texture rare.
Walking down the village street
Came a gallant debonair;
And he could not help but meet
With the lily mad so fair
And he whispered, as they passed,
Something ia the masden's ear;
She an instant stood aghfst,
Then she screamed aloud with fear.
Seemed the maid as one distraught,
Helpless In her sudden fright

a GOOD MOTTO.
And II you want q motto

And II you want q motto
To aid your pathway through
This life OF double trouble
For me as we'll as you.
Why then offer this one,
Although II is not new:
It's never trouble trouble.
Until trouble troubles you.
Perhaps you think this motto
Intended for the few,
Who lead \ life of pleasure
Far different from you;
II so, you are mistaken,
say il is not true,
/ say you gain by waiting
Until trouble troubles you.
Those troubles IN the distance
Though looking dark and blue
May change to other colors.
May take another hue;
at any rate look brighter
Upon q nearer view.
So troubles in the DISTANCE
Should never trouble you
Admitting that your sorrow
Seems all that you can bear.
And thoughts OF the tomorrow
FIJI you with deep despair;
Why not let hope triumphant,
Drive all your cares awayf
The sun may shine as brightly
Tomorrow as to-day.

In 1858 he graduated from the Law

ter emigrated to Kansas, and settled at
Garnet, Anderson county. AT the first
election held under the Wyandotte con
stitution, on December 6, 1859, he was

Legislative district. On March 26 1861,

House the successful candidates for their

the first resolution which he offered in
the House, and which was adopted:
Rcsolrcd, That committee OF Ave he an.
pointed, and That the governors message be re-

The foregoing is a good sample Of the

tion Of all this industry, and all

il has taken millions Of the peoples
money TO pave the streets, udorn the
parks, and erect the statues and mon
uments. OF course, some person OF
luxurious taste was needed to super
wise. Senator Ingalls, has doubtless
done his part. Would it be out Of
place to suggest that the industrious

be permitted to give all his time to

It must be wearing on the Kansas

Of tho valuable testimony Of this cor
respondent, we will offer the following
as photographing the kind Of room
in which Senator ingalls, performs
some Of the arduous labor in the in
terest Of the city Of Washington. The
luxury Of his surroundings ought to
relieve somewhat the "increaslng
grind" Of his daily lifel
"The district committee room, opening rs II
does into the Senate chamber corridor, Is one Of
the handsomost In the capitol with its arched
ceiling and decorated panels, representing his
tory geography, telegraphy and physics. This
room was formerly used rs the Senate pOstolilcc,
and was a most unsIghtly nuisance In that con-
spCuous corner Mr.. Ingalls,, apprecIatlng the
beauty and advantage of,such room and loca-
tIon, persuaded the postonlce into basement
quarters and established his own committee
therein
1t will be noticed in the above quo
tation that Senator Ingalls, "per-
suaded" the postoffce to take itself
into the dark, unsightly basement, in
order that his love of beautiful sur
roundings might be gratifed. Mr..
Ingalls, persuasive voice never fails
in urging any measure which will
bring the beautiful and the luxurious
close to him. He should be allowed
to give his undivided attention to the
cultivation Of the beautiful.
