THE CHILDREN's EYES.

The constantly increasing near
sightedness among the school
children, and the very general need
and use of glasses, ought to suggest
to us whether or not we are sufficient
ly careful of the conditions affecting
the ewes of the Young. Do we see to
they study are of a clear and large
type, requiring no stra1nlng or forcing
of the vision; and do we encourage Il
large and open script for their hand
writing? Do we see to it that our
schoolhOuses are built with a view
to the falling of the light in the right
way for the children's safety?
Do we have the lights at home SO
regulated that no blaze shall produce
blindness and no dimness make sight
difficult? Do we make sure that the
child holds his book at the distance
which gives correct focus, that he
holds the body properly in relation
to his book or work, that he looks
off frequently, thus changing the
character of the demand on the eye
and that he is not allowed to con
tinue long in any effort requiring the
too intent use of the eyes?
Do we keep ourselves on the look
out, too, for the first indication o
feebleness or strain. in order that
artificial aids may be resorted to II
season to prevent any positive evil
That precaution in all these direction:
is wise is evident from the fact, if we
look for it, that in those living wha
might be called the natural life, tina
is, without books or fine work-ther

A STORY OF GREAT HEROIsM.

1 recall to mind story of an
officer in the emperor's army who
were besieging fortress. Their
number was small, and relieving
army was coming up. 1t was of i'm
mense moment that they should
know how long the fortress could
hold out. If it must capitulate for
want of supplies within a week they
could stay and win the campaign
for the emperor. Ayoung Japanese
nobleman volunteered to go into the
fortress and ascertain how long they
could hold out. He disguised him
SELF and in passing learned that they
had food and water for only two
days more.
AS he was going out with this
precious information he was detected,
and the enemy said to him 1--WE are
going to cruelty you, but we will let
you off on one condition-that you
go to the wall and tell your people
that we have supplies for week. ;"
He said, Very WELL" and went to
the wall. His wife and children in
the besiegers' camp saw him, his
friends were there also, and he held
up both his hands and said to them
There are supplies for but two days.
Continue the siege and you will take
the place" He died by hundred
spear points, but he had done his
duty to his general.-[Sir Edwin

QUICK WITTED.

An actor now famous made his
first appearance on the stage in
provincial city, says Harper's Maya
zine. He was young and nervous
and failed dismally in the part he
was endeavoring to present, and
soon found himself the target for an
assortment of Objectionable bric-a
brac. One of his Disguised auditors
flung a cabbage head at him. AS it
fell on the stage the actor picked it
up and stepped forward to the foot
lights. He raised his hand to COM
mand silence, and pointing to the
cabbage head said
Ladies and gentlemen, | expected
to please you with my acting, but
confess did not expect that any one
in the audience would lose his head
over it,

TESTIMONIES TO MISSIONS.

Jesse Seligman, the Jewish banker,
who is now travelling on the Nile,
says in a note to an American news

THE DUTY OF SAYING "OH."

A certain small boy was aggrleved
by the Indifference with which his
busy father received the news of his
bruised finger, and in childish fashion
expressed his Indignation. The
fathers tardy excuse that he could
have done nothing to help the mat
ter was met by the crushing reply,
You might have said, "Oh!" The
little fellow neither sought nor
expected material aid, but he did
want sympathy, and his reproachful
answer holds the essence OF volumes.
1t ought to beso easy to say the lit
tie word for which our neighborlongs,
to utter the bright ejaculation, or to
bestow the loving glance for which
another's heart is wearying, but we
too often forget the duty of saying

pleasures are so interesting to our
selves that we cannot quite under
stand why they are of such small
consequence to Others, and then we
make the fatal mistake Of letting
them obscure our perception OF what
we in our turn owe. There are, it is
true, many selfish, selfindulgent
natures to which the blessing OF Civ
ing is quite unknown, but which de
mand an inordinate share of atten
ton. We all know them, and after
while we avoid paying the heavy
taxes which intercourse with sucl
people SO heavily imposes. But it /:
not of them and their boundles'
egotism that we are speaking, blu
of our obligations to the dear every

A MOVING TAIL.

Some one is acquainted with very
fascinating and wonderfully intelli
gent dog named Lion, who shows
plainly that he knows just what is
said to him, and also what is said
about him to others. He manages to
do considerable talking himself with
his tail and a conversation took place
one day, when a lady called on his
mistress, that amused the visitor
very much. During her call Lion
walked into the parlor with an air of
being the right dog in the right place,
laid himself comfortably down on
the soft carpet, and closed his eyes
in great content.
what handsome dog you have!"
said the lady, as her eyes rested on
the noble animal.
Lion opened one eye at this.
Yes" replied his mistress; land
what is still better, heisa very good
dog, and takes excellent care of the
children"
The other eye was opened now,
and Lion waved his tail to and fro
along the carpet.
when the baby goes out" con-
I1nuSO Ills llC c1IW SOSS
with her, and feel sure that no
harm can come to her."
Lions tail thumped violently up
and down on the floor.
And he is so gentle to them all,
and such a nice playmate and com
panion, that we would not take a
thousand dollars for him."
The tail seemed in danger of being
thumped and shaken off; it went uE
and down, to and fro, round and
round, in such uproarious glee.
There was something different
however, to come. But Lion has
one fault" added the speaker.
The tail was now perfectly quiet
as though it had been turned into g
stone; and if ever a dogs face ex
pressed disappointment and uneasi
ness, Lions did at that moment.
Again and again have told hin
that he must not come into the par
lor with dirty feet and lie down OF
the carpet, and again and again doe
he disobey me-
