DEAR EYES.

tOh, love! Oh wife! thine eyes are they
My springs from out whose shining gray
Issue the sweet celestial dreams -
That feed my lite's bright Lake Of Dreams.
Oval and large and passion pure,
And gray and large and honor sure;
Soft as dying violet's breath,
Yet calmly unatraid of death.
Thronged like two dovecotes ofgray doves,
With wiie's and mothers and poor folks
lovers,
And home-ioves and high glory loves,
And science loves and story loves.
And loves for all that God and man
mark and nature make and plan,
And lady loves for spidery lace
And broderies and supple grace.
And diamonds and the whole sweet round
Utilities that large life compound,
And loves for God and Gods bare truth,
And loves for Magdalen and Ruth.
lDear eyes, dear eyes, and face complete,
being heavenly sweet and earthly sweet,
II marvel that God made you mine,
For whom he frowns, It's then we shine!
Sidney Lanier.

What Was Wanted.

The ability to state case so clear
ly as to render misunderstanding i'm
possible is valuable gift, but, unfort-
unately, all persons do not possess it.
A political convention was being held
for the purpose OF nomiu atinga can
didate for an important Office.
The district was close one, and the
necessity of selecting a popular man
was thoroughly recognized. A speak
er had just nominated q personal
friend for the position, and in an
elaborate eulogy had presented in
glowing terms his manifold merits,
especially emphasizing his great
services upon the field OF battle, as
we'll as in the pursuits OF peace.
After he had finished, a voice was
heard in the rear Of the room. "Well,
what we want is q man that will run
the best"
In an instant the orator was again
upon his feet.
eff you think this convention can
find anybody who can run better than
the gentleman / have nominated, I
point you once more to his well-known
Xar record ~ ----.-- q -

though q feeling was becoming general
that such an experiment should never

The attention OF every one was riv-
eted on the young political, as, pale

In my own mind was WONDERING
whether no one else was chatting at
this abrupt and altogether impotent
conclusion; whether no one else was
haunted by the suspicion that this
man had been prime mover in that
un1orgotten tragedy, though, perhaps,
tent. Had we by chance stumbled on
a means by which crime might be in
falllbly detected? If so, the secret of
the fascination this place had posses

this night walked in among us to

Speed Of an Earthquake.

The course which an earthquake
runs is usually very rapid, says the
St. Louis Republic. From the In
slant when the first shock was felt at
Lisbon to the period when all was
over. and nearly $4,000 people were
killed, not more than two minutes had
elapsed. Usually from ten to thirty
seconds elapse between the first and
last shocks OF severe earthquake.
But this lightning speed is not always
the earthquakes mode OF travelling.
While Caracas in Venezuela was al
most totally destroyed and 10000
people were killed in less than twenty
seconds by thegreat shock OF 1912,
there are cases in which constantly
recurring shocks have lasted for weeks.
No odds how brief the span, the most
frightful havoc can be wrought, and
the wave of destr, ,ction propagated
from the most distant regions. The
rumbling earth sound travels at the
rate OF about 10000 to II, 900 feet
per second, and the earth wave, on
an average, about 1000 feet in the
same space OF time.

PERVERTED VISION
Ten-Year-Old Girl Who Read
Printed Matter Upside Down

A Ten-Year-Old Girl Who READ
Printed Matter Upside Down
Only.
A very peculiar case of perverted
vision has been presented to DR.. E. w.
Brlckley, an oculist of this city, writes
York correspondent of the Philadel-
phla Press. A little girl of ten years,
the daughter of one OF this city's
most respected citizens, was discov-
cred by her school teacher to be un-
able to read her reading exercise un-
less the book was held upside down.
The teacher, Miss Busser, Immediate
~ communicated the fact to her par
ents, and they became very much
worried
The oculist was called in and an ex-
animation made OF the child's eyes.
They were found to be entirely nor
NAL. The only conclusion arrived at
was that the strange freak of vision
was the result Of a habit of trying to
read with the book pages in an I'M
natural position, a habit contracted
some years ago when the child was
first sent to school. At this time the
child in writing numbers upon a slate
always made them upside down, and
as it was never observed or corrected
she gradually drifted into the habit
OF reading the same way.
The only means OF cure possiblei is to
teach the child everything over again,
as though she never knew anything be-
fore. This will be carefully done. and
a cure OF this really phenomenal case
is anxiously looked for in the near fu.
ture.

Automatic Gas shut-off.

Th 9 principle OF the expansion and
contraction Of a metallic loop made
OF German silver and steel when ex-
posed to varying temperatures has
been utilized for automatically shut
ting off gas when it has been blown
out, instead Of being turned off in the
usual way. One end OF the loop, which
is adjusted close to the gas flame, is
free, while the other is secured to the
fixture. A vslve controlling the gas
is attached to the free end, and when
the gas is burning the valve is open
and the gas freely escapes. II, how
ever, the gas is blown out, the loop
will quickly cool and contract, and
the valve will shut off the gas. The
device is exceedingly simple and it re-
spends quickly to the change in tenn.
perature.

She Has Scheme for Preventing
Her Child From Getting Lost.

She Has a Scheme for Preventing
Her Child From Getting Lost.
A handsomely dressed woman and
a curly-headed boy of five summers
were among the passengers on bridge
train this morning. They attracted
the attention of all the other passen-
gers on account of a new and novel
arrangement, evidently the invention
OF the mother, to prevent Jimmie
from getting lost in the crowd.
Around the boys chest and shoulders
was q neat-fitting harness of REQ
morocco leather, ornamented with
tiny brass bells. Two reins, also of
red leather, were attached to the
harness at the shoulders. The mother
held the reins firmly in her left hand,
while with her right she held a book
in which she seemed deeply interested.
When the boy wanted to 60 out on
the platform or cross over to the
window, there was no sharp command
of Come back, Jimmie, don't 60
there"
Jimmie would walk the length of
the reins and then he stopped. The
mother would not even look up from
her book, but her grip on the reins
never relaxed. ., AS long as she held
them firmly there was no chance for
Jimmie to get lost in the crowd or fall
off the platform. The harness was
similar to that worn by pug dogs in
fashionable society, but two reins
were used for the boy instead of one
for the dog Jimmie is probably
more difficult to guide alonga crowded
thoroughfare than a well-trained and
obedient pug.

Every year fresh evidences are chron-
icled in the mine inspectors reports where
men discard the safety lamp, or accom-
panied their safety lamp with a naked light,
thus endangering the lives of hundreds of
men. Anything that is done in a sllpshod
manner or by halves should be done away
with. If good results are TO accrue, then
radical changes and improvements must be
expected. All old and abandoned work.
ings, that cannot be Theoretically sealed,
should be kept thoroughly ventilated and
inspected at least once a week by the in
side foreman or his assistants, and a correct
report of the condition of the same be Kept
in the record book at the colliery Office for
the inspection of the mine inspector, and O
copy sent to the district superintendent.
There should be IL duplicate fan kept at
each and every colliery. In case anything
happens to one fan, the other could be put
in motion in a few minutes. l would also
suggest that all fans should be so con-
structed that they could be changed in a
short space of time from an exhaust to a
propelling fan and vice versa. If so con-
structed the air currents could be changed
in a short time in cases of fires or explo-
sions. Thus great disaster could be
averted. 1 would also suggest that the air
courses be of large dimensions, SO that
large quantities Of air could be propelled
through at slow velocity. This would in
crease the ventilating current, by diminish
ing the friction. Every attention should
be paid to maintain these air courses at any
cost, in a frst-class manner.
1t is preposterous to presume that any
thing short Of strict surveillance, careful
and systematic management, and a sound
system of ventilation, can prevent our
hearths and homes being besieged aud pen
etrated by tales of woe, Of horrible explo.
sions, and consequent desolation.

NOW o WORK,

The Republican county convention
held in Pottsville Tuesday was one of
the most harmonious ever held in the
county. Sound judgment prevailed
and the delegates buried all differences,
looking only to the welfare of the
party. The ticket nominated is a
strong and clean one. 1t is now in
order for the Republicans Of the county
to organize. The cry henceforth
should be "shoulder to shoulder for
victory" and with II long pull, a strong
pull, and a pull altogether, the whole
ticket can be elected. Let the Re
publicaus stand guard and watch the
Democrats as the enemy. Beware I!
The snake in the grass is already at
work and the enemy pretends to
gloat over the fact that all the nomi-
nees are from south of the mountain.
The Republicans should not heed such
illusions. Nc north or south, but one
united Schuylkill for Republican
victory.
Sehuylkill is a Republican county,
as will be shown by the returns next
November if the Republicans stand
by their colors,
This is a test year and if harmony is
not secured by the Republicans on the
present basis it never will be.
There is no possible excuse for any
Republican to bolt the ticket. All
the nominees are men of ability and
merit, and are fully entitled to a
strong vote.
Step to the line of harmony and
work with a will for the whole ticket,
disregarding all differences of the past
and with one object in view-the re-
demption Of Schuylkill.
