The Mason and Dixon line runs along
the parallel of latitude 80 degs. 43
min, 20 degs. min, separating Penn
sylvania from Maryland. 1t was
drawn by two distinguished English
surveyors, Charles Mason and Jere-
miah Dixon, who began their work in
1853 and finished it in 1867. The line
is marked by stones set at intervals of
five miles, each having the arms of Lord
Baltimore engraved upon one side and
those of the Penn family upon the other.
Besides these large stones set to mark
each fifth mile, smaller stones were set
at the end of each mile, these having a
large P engraved upon one side and the
letter NJ on the other -.thcse intended as
initial letters Of Pennsylvania and Mary
land. K.
All Of these stones were engraved in
England. The Mason and Dixon line
was not the line separating the free and
the slave States. The line settled on in
the compromise Of 1920 was IS degs. 80
min. The Mason and Dixor. line, as
shown above, runs along the parallel of

Protect Your Eyes.

DIR. George S. Norton gives the read.
es Of Harper's Young People some
good advice about the use Of the eyes.
Here are his rules:
!. Never read by dim light. II Is
q common habit for children and even
grown people TO read between daylight
and dark, or in the darkened cornneI
of a room. The strain thus produced
Is often sufficient to impair q healthy
eye, and surely will weaken one that Is
diseased.
2. Never read or write with the
light shining directly In the eye. The
light should either be covered by a
shade or be placed above and behind
the reader, shining over the left shoul.
der, If the person Is right handed. In
this way the page will be illuminated
aud the bright rays of the light will moi
enter the eye and so irritate Il.
8. Do not read lying down. It Is on
unnatural position, for 1t requires an
extra strain on the muscles of the eyes
and favOrs congestion Of these organs
4. Do not read or write with the
head bent far forward. It is common
practice for young people to lay the
book on table, bend over it, and, with
face close to the page, continue reading
or writing for long time. This posi-.
ton causes an increased flow of blood
to the eyes and head producing symp.
toms of weakness and increasing any
existing near sightedness.
5. Avoid reading on the cars, oil
when riding in a carriage. The strain
made necessary In the endeavor tO
overcome the unsteadiness of the page
and to see distinctly, is often sufficient
to cause great injury tOan eye.
| 6. Avoid bringing the book too near
the eyes. Hold it as far as the print is
distinct and clear-abOut fourteen to
sixteen inches; but do not carry it SC
far away that it is an effort to see clear.
ly. When the book is brought toe
close to the face an undue strain is re.
quired both upon these muscles which
adjust the vision at different distances
and also upon those which turn the
eyes inward. AS a result, marked
symptoms of weakness in reading will
in time be noticed.
7. Never read or continue the use o.
the eyes after they begin to tire, or the
head commences to ache. These are
certain indications that you are doing
too much, and that rest is necessary.

New Mode of Engraving.

A French scientist has lately intro
duced process for the engraving of de-
signs ON wood, leather or similar ma
terials by means of pencil or tool, the
point of which is constantly at red heat.
After series of experiments with hot
irons ard platinum wire heated by cleo
tricity, a special tool was finally devised
by the inventor of this process. which
renders the opera tion extremely simple
The tool in question is another applica-
ton Of the cautery instrument used by
surgeons. The pencil has wooden han
die upon which is mounted small plat
mum tube with fine point. Two sepa-
rate receptacles communicate with the
tool by means of rubber tube; one of
these contains hydro-carbon, such as
alcohol, benzine or wood spirit, and the
other contains compressed air.
A constant flow of the hydro-carbon
vapor is maintained at the point of the
tool, which is thereby kept in state of
intense heat. Both receptacles are pro-
vided with regulating apparatus, by
which the supply of ink can be adjusted
or cut off, as desired. The operation of
tracing designs on wood work and leather
is thus simplified to the utmost possible
extent. A tracing of the design is made
on the article to be ornamented, and any
degree of relief is instantly effected, very
little skill on the part of the operator
being required. The new process will be
of the greatest service to bookbinders,
carpenters and Others, as well as afford.

Like snowy birds her fingers fair
Hover about that Chinese tray;
Sweetly distracted Is her air
'Twixt talking art and pouring cream
Why does she think haunt her house
Each day as i've O'Clock draws nearf
Does she suppose the mild carouse
OF slipping tea and nibbling cakes
Is all the joy my soul can aski
Yet such the attitude she takes;
Her friendly thoughts quite centered seem
Not on my passion, not on me.
But on the very trivial task
OF pouring out a cup Of tea.
Her earnestness is sweet to see.
Her yearning eyes quite drive me mad;
''Too strongf A little sugar. No'
But you are sure you like It so:

My heart lies, shattered, at your feet"

Things O. *.

A Western man, who owned great
farm in Dakota, was obliged to cross the
water for business purposes. For three
months he heard nothing from the. man
whom he had left in charge of the farm,
and at last he became somewhat dis
turbed. He was an illiterate person,
though capital farmer, and the writing
OF telegram was a matter of some diff
Guilty. At last he sent off the following
comprehensive message: ais things all
right at the farm?" Impatiently he
awaited the answer. But his trusty fore
man was man of few words and strict
ideas of economy, and the envelope which
his anxious employer received as soon as
possible contained simply this message:

order concerning the six months arrived,
certifying that she must submit. Oh!
how she had waited and prayed for it,
and tried so hard to live to receive it!
She had never dreamed of this, M. le
President, and when they had taken
her away with closed eyes, mute and
deaf for ever, my mother and told our
selves that wa must repair the wrong
she had done because of her fiance, Ga
briel Karloney. 1t was for him, and

"What, my child?"
"That to let her rest peacefully in her
mortal ashes, and that no one should say
she owed them anything, that we must

months in the county prison"

EFFECT OF WIND ON TREES,
so1nsthing Besides Pressure which ID


sounsthinE Besides Pressure Which Di-
reefs Their Tops.
Trees which grow In exposed situa-
tions have their tops always leaning
away in the opposite direction from the
prevailing winds, and the casual OBJ
server concludes that the branches have
been bent by the constant pressure Of the
wind and retained their position. Now,
although such trees have the appearance
exactly Of trees bending under gale,
still II is not pressure in that way which
has given them their shape. The fact
is, they have grown away from the blast
and not bent by it after they grew. Ex-
animation of the branches and lwigs
will show this, says writer in the
Garden
We hardly realize the repressive effects
OF cold wind upon tree growth, which II
partially or altogether arrests, according
to its prevalence. Conifers show the ef-
fects Of this more distinctly than other
trees. Owing to the horizontal habit OF
growth of the branches they point d.
rectly to the teeth Of the1gale from what
ever direction it comes, and cannot, like
the oak, lean over and grow in the op-
posite direction, hence coniferous trees
growing in exposed situations produce
good long branches on their lee sides
while on the windy side the branches re-
tain their rigid horizontal position, but
make comparatively little growth, which
is simply suppressed.
Example: measured the branches Of
Nordmann's spruce, growing in po
sition fully exposed to the north ant
south. One branch on the north side Of
the tree had fifteen annual nodes ol
growths, and was seven feet long, ant
its opposite bad the same number O
nodes, but was nearly two and one-hal
feet longer, all the lateral branche:
being proportionately long and vel
furnished.
