Queer Cabbage Head.

We have quite curiosity in our Office
that some might call cabbage head for
lack of new word. 1t was brought to
our Office by j. l.. Dobson. He cut it
from his cabbage patch. At first it was
an enormous head, hard and solid. After
cutting into it he found that the outer
coating contained twenty eight perfectly
developed little heads in n cluster, about
the size of walnut and nearly as hard.
1t is now on exhibition, with some other
curiosities, in the vegetable kingdom in
our ofiice.-[Salisbury (Mo.) Press-Spec-

GIVE THANKS.

Give thanks for sun
And dew and rain;
For flower and fruit
And garnered grain;
For lowly herb,
For queenly rose,
For falling leaf
And drifting SHOWS.
For answered prayers.
For hopes fulfilled;
Heart-conflicts won
And passions stilled;
For friends and kindred,
Home and health;
Our country's pride,
And skill and wealth.
But last and best,
From hill and dale,
From ice-bound lake
To orange vale,
Ere our triumphant
Song shall cease,
Thank God-thank God
For blessed peacel

READING BY LAMP-LIOHT.
Pertinent Points on This Psrniciou

On the Scare of the Eyes was the
title of an article / was much inter-
ested in recently, says Robert j. Bur-
dette in the New York Herald. My
memory is neither so accurate nor so
imaginative as 1t was a score of years
ago, but the article in question runs,
as near as l can guess by memory,
something like this:
"Hayer reading-lamp for night.
use." There is great deal of wisdom
In this. In brightly lighted room
at noon, or as late as O'Clock p. M,
If the room be on the sunny side of
the house, person with strong eyes
may be able to read coarse print with
out injury. But after O'Clock at
night, and in very dark room, most
people will find lamp indispensable
to comfortable reading, especially in
fine print or paper. The learned
physician who writes the article does
not say that the lamp should be
lighted, but, speaking as a layman, 1
should certainly advise lighting the
illumination. l may be wrong in this,
but nevertheless such has been my
own custom, and l can now read
circus poster in two colors without
the aid of glasses, that is.
"Hold the book at your focus"
This is rule that any person able to
read should commit to memory. Very
few people realize the importance of
this aid to preserving the eyesight.
Until L read this valuable rule used
to prop my book up on the other side
Of the room, where could not distin-
guish the print from the margin, and
try to read. l did not suppose it made
any difference about the focus. And
many people, l have no doubt, who
supposed they were blind because they
could not see to read book at dis
tance Of $50 yards, will, upon learn
ing this rule and putting it into prac-
tice, soon find that they can read
quite well enough to drive everybody
out Of the room. The medical pro-
fession has been very remiss in its
duty that it did not publish this rule
long ago.
"Reading in bed is strongly advised

say so. l have always found it so If
you get comfortably fixed you read
about one page and then find the
blooming book isn't cut, and the pa
per-cutter is downstairs, and your
pocket-knife is in the pocket of your
trousers, hanging away over near the
coolest window. The colder the night
the more the book is not cut. You
get settled down again, and the lamp
smokes. You fix it and drop back
again. The pillows you piled up have
fallen down and your head comes
crashing back against the headboard
of the bed. 1t is late at night and
the bang brings somebody out into
the hall with shrek of "What's the
matter?" After awhile order is re-
stored and you get quiet, then inter
ested, finally absorbed, and then some
body comes out into the hall crying
