Texas Sftingsl
John Henry Briggs had been born
and brought up in the country, and
though he had spent some years IN
the city he claimed he had never
been entirely weaned from the coun-
tTy. Though he had not seen hull
of beans planted in fourteen years
vet he did not cease to tell his
friends about his knowledge OF
farming. and how, when be was on
the farm. his father used to raise
crops the envy Of that countryside
for miles around. Once in while
Mr.. Briggs would get a notion into
MS head that he wanted some OF
the o!d-tlme country fare, and then
his little wife was put to her wits
end to prepare ham and string beans
or bacon and hominy in sncn a
manner as to remind Mr.. Briggs Of
his long past country boyhood. Her
efforts met with Indifferent success.
FOR though Mrs. Briggs can cook
after the same formula that Sr.
Briggs mother used, she cannot
give him the appetite of hired
man, or cOnjure up the conditions
under which Mr.. Briggs used to
relish country fare.
One day this spring Mr.. Briggs
suddenly remembered how he used
TO relish boiled green's, and from
that moment his one aim in life was
20 deyour some once more. Mr..
Briggs aunt was stopping at his
house for few days when the fever
struck him and she was consulted
rs to the proper ingredients and
kinds of kerbs. Spinach, pulse and
curly dock with beet tops and mus
tard leaves.
As curly dock and mustard leaves
we're not to be procured in open
market, a small boy was commits
stoned to invade the country and
procure a sufficient quantity of those
herbs.

rhe Eyes Of watchmakers.

Some time ago the Breslau ocuIist, DR..
n. Cohn, on examining the eyes of seventy
five watchmakers, found that scarcely )
per cent. of the number were affected with
shortsightedness, which result seemed to
justify the belief that the use of the loupe
was an excellent protection against myopia.
The same oculist examined the eyes of fifty
watchmakers in Frierburg watch factory,
who had for years, without using loupe,
worked the fine parts of watches, and of
whom, nevertheless, only two were slightly
shortsighted.
From this DIR. Cohn concludes that
matchmaking is an industry not injurious
to the eye, while, considering the fact that
his extensive examinations among stu
dents had established an average of So per
cent, among compositors of 81 per cent,
and of photographers of 81 per cent, affiict-
ed with myopia, he comes to the conclu-
sion that reading, writing. composing and
drawing are more injurious to the eyes
than the constant exercise of the visual or
gan in connection with fine stationary OBJ
ieces--London Ht-Bits.
