THE LAND OF LONG AGO.

Sometimes, when thrushcs sing, or sweet bells
chime - Ts%as q
Fur on and faint across the silent ssa,
Or south wind watts the breath Of sunIy cline,
Or ringdoves COO their love by 'babbling rillA
Or the fair priestess Of the dawn, star-eyed.
Trails her white robe above the eastern hills;
Down dim way where stately lilies blow
see the land-the Land Of Long Ago.
Then memory beckons, and with trembling feet
tread the ways where life was once so sweet:
See this dear face, that sleeps where marbles
shine, II i !.
And that--bat oceans 'twixt us roll their brine
Dear ones, will you not come to me once moro
And smile and kiss me 10 in days Of yores''
'Ah. foolish heart! when viii you learn to know
None e'er return from the dead Long Agoi'' s.
But give me back my Joy, the dreams Of youth.
Hopes rosy visions, or the lamp Of Truth; IT,
Roll back Times record from the dial.platc r.
And snatch trophy from the grasp of Fate."
e Again gazed with-wildly streaming eyes
On the dread angel that 20 much denies
Again the still voice brsathed Ger fields Of
snow: assx4
'These are the treasures of the Long Ago"
Alas, that land! that Land OF Long Ago;
No resurrection shines above its snow:
Memory may enter, but Q flaming sword
FOrbids with menace stern Hopes tender word,
The Past Ia gone-the Now we grasp full fond,
: And the To Be looks darkly from beyond
And ftill the years roll on with ceaseless dow
Into the silence Of the Long Ago

CAUSED BY TOBACCO.

Color Blindness Said to Result from Its
Excessive Use.
/ The parliamentary committee ap-
pointed in Great Britain to examine the
subject of color blindness, particularly
in its relation to marine and railway
signaling, have made an exceedingly
interesting report. They find that in
the mail population nearly four per
cent. are either partially or wholly de-
ficieut in the ability to distinguish
rightly the primary colors OF the
spectrum. The tests were made with
great care. under the guidance of
specialists whose scientific knowledge
afforded guarantee of accurate and
trustworthy investigation.
Because Berlin wool presents to the
eye rough and nonrefecting surface,
the colors of which are not heightened
norF dulled by the light in which it is
displayed, that substance was selected
Tor testing the eyes. From miscel-
laneous heap of skeins of various colors
the person submitting to q test was re-
qutred to select approximate matches
Tor certain test colors. 1t was found
that blindness to red was the most COM
mon form of deficiency; blindness to
green was the next in frequency. Since
experiment has proved that red and
green are the two colors found to be
most trustworthy for signaling pur-
poses, on account of their superior
luminosity and their visibility at con
siderable distances. the fact that these
are the two colors which color-b blind
persons are most apt to mistake 10 q
matter IF the first Importance.
The committee found that the per-
sons in responsible positions in the ma
rine and railway service, where accu-
racy in determining color is essential
to safety and efficiency, could not be
trusted to read the signals correctly.
This condition of things possibly fur
nishes the explanation of many disas-
tert on sea and land which have l,ither-
to been deemed mystesious, and it GER
tainly indicates the necessity for. =
thorough test of the eyes of engineers,
pilots, signalmen and others who are
intrusted with the movement of trains
and of water craft. y :.ssi,--. x
As to the causes of color blindness.
the committee report that in the great
er number of instances it proceeds
from congenital defects that cannot be
remedied; but it is frequently the re-
suit of excessive use Of tobacco. This
is q hint worth rememb ering on the
part Of those who may become aware
Of their inability to distinguish colors.
As every day in the year thousands Of
lives and millions Of dollars worth Of
property are dependent for safe keep
ing upon the accurate reading Of celors
by persons employed upon steamers,
ships and locomotives, the knowledge
Of the risk involved should lsad @

STUDY YOUR CHILD.

Anv Novel.

You VIII Find 1t More Interesting Than
Any Novel.
Your child is a book more puzzling
and interesting than any novel you ever
read. Study it faithfully page by page
as it turns the leaves of development.
If a child initiates quickly and is very
lively, it is most likely inclined to be
passionate. 1t is your duty in such a
case to be gentle and firm, and when it
Is violent to calm it by drawing its. ut
tention from the cause of excitement.
Scolding, frowning or strong opposition
will only increase it's violence; for it
will Immediately initiate all these ac-
tons Neither must you laugh or seem
amused by its childish rage; but, on tho
contrary, look grave and sorrowful. If
the child loves you land it will love you
If you have treated it rightly, the exc
preston of your countenance will have
q great effect upon it. The faults of
passionate children are often confirmed
and strengthened by the anger of their
parents. have heard it recommended
to allow a child to scream till it il tired
and that thus it will cure itself; but I
am sure such a plan only confirms the
evil. =
If, on the contrary, the character of
a child is silent, and it is slow in motto.
ing or initiating, it will very likely
whine and fret. With such DISPOSE
ton, keep it constantly in action by
talking to it, playing with it, and d.
recting its observations to the things
about it; and, after awhile, encourage
it, by every means, to find amusement
for itself. Such disposition will re-
quire more activity on your part than
the quick, lively child. but less watch
fulness. 1t will require to be aroused
to exert both its mind and body, while
with the active child it will perhaps be
necessary to find amusement that will
keep 1t quiet With all children, how.
ever, proper amusement must be found
or they will be either mischievous on
