To Straighten the Eye.

Any squint or cast in the eye can be
cured without the expense Of going to a
physician or an oculist. Il Is only
necessary to get a pair of spectacles with
plain glass In and to color tho center OF
one of the lenses black. The eye will
naturally make an effort to look straight
ahead all the time, and after few days
the effort will be imperceptible. With a
child cure can be effected in a week
and with a grown person month will
suffice to remedy the worst case. Wear
ing smoked glasses is the best possible
safeguard for weak eyes when in a strong
light, and even these will help to get nd
of 'cast" by strengthening the eyes
and relieving them from unnecessary ex-
eEtion. Detroit Free Press.

OFF WE MIoHT."

II we might oh IL we might
Turn back Tho wheels of time, my friend,
Tonight;
If to the vale of childhood we would go
And climb again from those warm depths
below
To this steep hillside; live from day to day,
The past just as we lived It once, oh say
Would you he glad to treae the pathway
DER,
The same old steps again, no less no more2
II we might, yes, if we might
Turn back the whrling wheels, my friends,
tonight
And slowly wind from youth to middle age,
The tangled road; il every blotted page
We would omit and let the good remain;
In life's book skip all the grief and paint
Would you be willing then to live them DER,
The backward years that can return no
more?
''1f l might, oh, If / might,
Perhaps 1 would, perhaps should tonight;
am not wise. Old friendships were SO true,
Old loves 80 sweet, and, even if 1 knew,
must have all the sorrow, all the pain,
For loves dear sake might 20 back again,
The thorny pathway to my willing feet
Would not be hard, think it would be
sweet"
But If the spring, ah! II the spring
Lead on to summer; IL the autumn bring
The winter snowfakes, II the joyous chime
or wintry bells ring in the blossom time.
Why would you live again the same old year,
Knowing another spring will soon be hereY
The dead May violets rather should you kiss
And say, Next year they will be sweet as
this"
Aud il the life, nh, il the life
We live on earth, so full Of restless strife.
So full of joyful love, or blessed peace
Is beautiful, why should you wish to cease
The onward journey? Do not wish again
To live life over, even without the pain,
For oh, my friend, when llfe's last sun Is set
The bright next day is Heaven, do not
forget.

Pearls Take Tours for Their Health.

Although turquoises are the most SEN
sble stones, pearls are thought to be the
most human, since like their owners
they get sick and require a complete
change of air and climate. Not long
ago lady went into local jewelIy
house with a magnificent set of pearls
that were losing their lustre and begin
ming to look dead. 'These pearls are
sick, said the jeweler, upon examining
them, "and unless you take or send them
to a decidedly different climate at once,
they will become worthless. They were
sent of, and within a month were as
bright and pretty as they had ever been.

The Treasury officers at San Francisco
have rejected papers presented at that
port by Cinnamon seeking admission to
the country, as certificates of identified.
tion issued by the Chinese Government,
in compliance with Section six of the Re.
striction Act adopted nine years ago.
This section provided that all Chinese,
other than laborers, to be permitted to
enter the country, should show Gov.
ernment certificate properly identifying
them. Cinnamon have not attempted to
avail themselves of this provision until
within the last few months. The port
officers suspected that the papers offered
wero forgeries, and have since ascer-
tanned that such documents, forged and
bearing an imitation of the imperial seal
Of China, have been sold to Cinnamon
coming to this country for from $3.50 to
5000.

moose horn grated into the base of

years, as the tree has grown around it
so as to get such grip on it that cut

separating the two. It was found near
the Kitty O'Brien mine on the High

calm, impartial observers with the idea
that there has been something wrong in
the government of peaceful young
State of enormous extent and great nat
ural resources. OF course, large por-
ton of this debt was incurred for the
construction Of railways, Improvement OF
canals, and similar political and commer-

not compensate for the vastness of the
ucw debt, with its oppressive load of in-
terest. They freely comment upon the
fact that while the United States have
reduced their debt from $50 to S16.50

Despairing ones shall chance to find,
Be their relief thy best delight,
And lead them forth from doubts dark

Beyond the miasmatic breath
Coursing along doubts vale Of death,
To sunny hills where roses bloom
And faiths clear light dispels the gloom
Where they shall hear the chorusing
OF all the sweetest birds that sing;
And sweetest brooks that ever sung,
Since brooks, and birds, and Tina were

Shall purl and sparkle in the light
Succeeding unto sorrows night
Then ever shall voice for thee
Sing hope-inspiring minstrelsy
Far sweeter than the singing heard
From any brook or any bird 81
In happiest glen of all the world,
And like the brooks that joyous purled
In Eden when the earth was young
And all the stars together sungl

School at Lewiston, Me-, who goes under
the name of Lewis p. Clinton, is really
Somayou, King of the Bassa tribe in the
southwestern part of Africa. The tribe
occupies territory running back over
the Kong Mountains, 500 miles in length
and 200 miles IN breadth, with an outlet
to the sea. In his boyhood Somayou had
strong desire to learn the English Ian
guage, SO that he might trade for his
people. With this determination he ran
away from his tribe and finally found
his way to this country under the care of
a missionary. He is not only q good
English scholar, but has shown average
ability in mastering Latin, Greek, matha-
matics, and other studies. He contem-
plates course in Bates College, after
which his plan is to go back to his peo-
PIE, not as a ruler, but for the purpose of
establishing civilized colony and de-
voting his life aud energetic the inter.
ssts Of his people, elucationally and re-
ligiously. Somayou detrays his ex-
penses at school by lecturing.

sion and the profundity of his kuowI-

Joe first rubs the shoes of the Gus
toner for several minutes with his
hand in a solemn way, occasionally
stopping to examine them closely with
critical eye. This naturally excites
the curiosity of the owner of the shoes,
tone that in order to give a perfect
polish the quality and condition OF the
leather must be thoroughly known.
He then pulls out from the under part
Of the stand large drawer filled with
dozens Of brushes, from among which
he carefully selects one. As he passes
his hand over the face of the brush the
conceited old bootblack glances at the
shoes of the customer, as though de-
-erminfng whether that particular
brush is best suited to the grain OF the
leather to be operated upon. a SINH

in choosing the backing to be used on
the occasion. Joe then goes to work
and polishes the shoes in question
with many mysterious flourish and
cabalistic curve. When he finishes it
IS worth the price to see his evident
admiration of his own haudiwork.

1t is a well known fact says the jew
elers' Circular, that the human body
contains various humors and acids sim
lar in action to and having a tendency
toward baser metals, and nitric and
sulphuric acids have, viz, TO tarnish
and dissolve them. varying in quanti-
by in different positions. We havel
abundant proof of this theory in the
effects which the wearing of iewelry
produces on different persons. Thou
sands wear continually, without i'll eff
fects, the cheaper class of jewelry with
brass ear wires, while If others wore
the same article for a few days they
would be troubled with sore ears. or
in other words, the acids contained in
the system would so act on the brass
as to produce i'll results.
Instances have occurred in which
articles of iewelry of any grade below
eighteen karats have been tarnished
IN few days merely from tine above
named cause. True, these instances
are not very frequent nevertheless it
IS well to know them, and they are
sufficient to prove that it is not in ev-
cry case the fault of the goods not
wearing well-as it is generally called
but the result of the particular CON
stitution Of the person who wears the

The habit OF talking aloud was a pc

and of this habit an amusing anecdote
is told in the Sheffield Telegraph.
Lord Dudley being invited to the
house OF a friend had ordered his car

his accustomed repOse. To his NOR

One OF the guests, seeing how much
his lordship was discoucerted. by the
event very politely offered him a seat
in his.
The gentleman in question had to
pass his lordship's house on his return
home, and, though he was almost a
stranger to Lord Dudley. his rank and
position in the country. were of course.
well known to him. Nevertheless
they had not been seated in the car
riage more then twenty minutes when
the peer. who had up to that moment
maintained a most perfect silence OBJ
served in low but distinctly audible
tone OF voice:
I'm very sorry l accepted his
offer. don't know the man. 1t was
civil, certainly: bat the worst is. I sup

Perhaps he'll think l did it to

Lord Dudley listened to him with
earnest interest, Immediately com

had provoked, offered his hand with
much hearty good win to his compan-
ion, making every proper apology for
his Involuntary rudeness, and from
that night the travellers became in
