WELCOME HOME.
Go ding the starry banner out,
For those who went to roam,
Have made ten thousand miles or more,
And got back safely home.
We welcome Benjamin with pride,
And pat him on the back,
Because with all his train of thought
He never jumped the track.
And John, the good and wise and mild,
We're glad to see once more;
We feared that he might want TO stay
On that pacific shore.
And Uncle Jerry Well by Zucks,
We take his horny hand,
And shake it with q hearty grip,
That's warranted to stand.
And all the ladies Bless them al,
And touch the greeting pen
The whole world smiles a welcome 10
The sunshine come again.
And to the gang" the gentle gang
No welcome do we bar,
To those who do the writing up,
And make men what they are.
And everybody, great and small,
Who went out for to roam,
All hail and welcome back again!
We're glad to see you homo.

Straining the Eyes.

From London Tit-Bts.
Some time ago the Breslau oculist, DR.. H.
Coin, on examining the eyes Of seventy-five
watchmakers found that scarcely per cent of
the number were affected with shortsighted
ness, which result seemed to justify the belief
that the use Of the loupe was an excellent pro-
lection against myopis.
The same oculist examined the eyes of fifty
watchmskers in o Frierburg watch factory.
who had for years, without using O loupe.
worked the fine parts Of watches and of whom,
nevertheless, only two were slightly short
sighted.
From this DR.. COIN concludes that watch
making Is an industry not injurious to the
eve, while, considering the fact that his ex-
tsnsive examinations among students had
established an average Of Sc per cent,
among competitors Of 81 per cent and OF
photographers Of 81 per cent, afflicted
with myopia, he comes to the conclusion that
reading, writing, composing and drawing are
moro injurious 10 the eyes than the constant

A Brace Of Anecdotes About the Late MT.
Barnum.
One day, q good many years ago, says the
New York Tines, Mr.. Barnum and a party of
friends went to Bethel, Conn.,. for an outing
As they passed through the waiting room of the
little railroad station they sSw, huddled up on
one Of the benches, an old man, infirm and
poorly clad. He was, In fact, one OF the few
persons in the town who could fairly be classed
as paupers. Mr.. Barnum knew him, as he know
nearly everybody in Bethel, and he topped to
talk to the old fellow for moment. His friends
had reached the door of the room when
grunt from the old man caused them to look
around.
Mr.. Barnum had evidently taken pinch of
snuff from the ancient's box and had then re-
added to its contents. The old man, with
trembling fingers, was just drawing the object
out Of the snuff. and the light struck it it
showed u round surface that had yellow glow
that was pleasant to look upon. Mr.. Barnum
started after his friends, but the other called
him back.
Taylor" he said querulously-most of tho
old people Of Bethel knew Mr.. Barnum as Tay-
lor to their dying day-"Taylor, why be you
alters a-foolin' folks?'
the earth was thanked for giving twenty-dol-
lar gold piece to town charge. and gold was
at premium of about $50 in those days
One morning the newspapers announced that
grave fears were entertained for the safety of
an agent Of the big show. who had gone to
Africa to seek attractions for it In their native
lairs. News had come, it was said, that he had
last been heard from in a predicament from
which escape was practically impossible 1t
was very sad piece OF business altogether.
Mr.. Barnum was at hotel in this city at the
| time and there a relative of the unfortunate
agent found him entertaining q squad Of re-
porters with most interesting version Of the
African tragedy. The caller knew his man and
waited patiently until the interviewers had de-
parted. Then be anxiously asked for news.
''Oh, don't be worried" said the Snowman.
"rve just got intelligence that he's safe and
sound and will be back here in few weeks"
"But he has great many friends here"
objected the visitor, land this report of his
death will cause them much sorrow"
Mr.. Barnum looked solemn for an instant,
and then he chuckled. "Well," he exclaimed
cheerfully, 'just think Of this. They'll be ali
the happier when he gets back here alive"

If some grocers try to sell another baking

the greater profit This of itself is good evidence
ofthe superiority of the Royal" To give greater
profit the other must be lower cost powder and
to cost less it must be made with cheaper and
