The constantly increasing nearsighted.
ness among school children, and the very
general need aud use of glasses, ought to
suggest to us whether or not we are sufIici,
emily careful of the conditions affecting
the eyes of the young. Do we see to it
that the books they read and those they
study are of a clear and large type, re-
quiring no straining or forcing of the Wis
ion; and do we encourage a large and open
script for their handwritingp Do we see
to it that our school houses 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 regu
lated that no blaze shall produce blindness
and no dimness make sight difiicult2 Do
we make sure that the child holds his book
at the distance which gives correct focus,
that he holds his body properly in relation
to his book or work, that he looks off fire.
quently, thus changing the character Of
the demand on the eye, and that he is not
allowed to continue long in any effort re
quiring the too intent use of his eyesp
Do we keep ourselves on the lookout, too
for the first indication of feebleness or
strain, in order that artificial aids may be
resorted to in season to prevent any posi-
tive evil? That precaution in all these di.
rections is wise is evident from the fact, if
we look for it, that in those living what
might be called the natural life-that is
without books or fine work-there is very
little trouble with the eyes where the con
ditions of good bodily health otherwise are
maintained. -Harper's Bazaar

How to Set "a Table.

Breakfast being the plainest meal of the
day, the arrangement of the table should
always be simple. The cloth should be
spotless. At each PERSONS seat place a
knife, fork teaspoon or dessertspoon, tum
bier and napkin, and if fresh fruit is to be
served, finger bowl, if there be no serv
ant. If you have a waitress, she will place
the finger bowls on us you finish with the
fruit. If fresh fruit be served there must
also be placed at each seat fruit knife and
plate. The knives and spoons should be
placed at the right and the forks and nap
kins at the left, the tumblers to be at the
pa2nt OF the knives. There should be
space between the knife and fork for a
breakfast plate.
Have the dish of fruit in the center of the
table. Have tray cloth Mt each end of the
table. Spread little butter plates at the
top of each plate. If individual salt and
pepper bottles be used, place them ut the
side of each plate If large ones place them
at the corners of the table. Put four table
spoons on the table, either in two corners
or beside the dishes that they will be used
in serving. Put the carving knife and fork
at the head of the table, and the cups and
saucers, sugar and cream, coifeepot, hot
water bowl, etc, and the mush dishes at
the other eud.-St. Louis Republic.

For Girls Who wish to Study Art.

Even for those with higher motives she be

to be had at home. "There is no pot boil
ing work to be had at Paris" she says,
"and even II there were American girls

artist artisans. There are no pupils to be
had for obvious reasons In America there
are pupils to be had everywhere, and there
is pot boiling art work galore for any girl
or woman with pluck enough to strike out
for herself, and to read the newspapers
advertisements, art notes and labor inter

In the international exhibition of 1891 a
specimen of iron paper was shown. This
led to some competition among ironmasters

be rolled. One maker produced sheet OF
paper so thin that 1,S00 layers of it piled
upon one another measured only one inca

referred to may be understood when it Is
remembered that 200 sheets of the thin
nest tissue paper arranged in the same
manner measure fraction more than one

We were on a plateau in
the very heart OF the mountains.
All around the rugged peaks rose
high into the still air, tinted with deep
purple in the shadow, and the love
lest rose pink where the sunlight fell
upon the snow. Where the snow had
slid away from the precipitous sides,
the granite, streaming with water,
glittered in the bright rays as if it
were encrulsted with jewels.
AS we came to halt, waiting for
response to Braces call, the Silence
was broken by prolonged roar like
that OF distant thunder, as somerock,
loosened by the frost, broke away
and hurtled down the unfathomed
canon.
A man came from the building,
which still bore faint trace OF the
word 'tHotel' on it's facade. and. greet
ing Brace with the air OF an
old acquaintance, said he had
got everything aired, and a
supper ali ready to put down to the
fire. Brace bad seen the necessity OF
preparing him for our receptions: A
couple OF rooms had been made as
decently comfortable as might be ex-
pected We feit Lola there, and
strolled out while the dinner was pre-
pairing.
The end OF the town abutted upon
wide stream, that was tearing and
wilirlins along among the gigantic
boulders that marked its course, tow
ard a black cleft which divided a tow
ering mountain in two. Fantastic as
are the effects which characterize the
heights OF the Sierra, I had seen moth
ing comparable to this. 1t was as if
some mighty hand had split the
| mountain in half.
II have know'd the time" said the
Judge impressively, ''when both
sides OF this river was

'em worth his thousands OF dollars!''

AS the spring advanced, Brace turn.
ed his eyes daily to the mountain
tops. On the first OF May he said he
would haye a day or two off, and
"jest have look round at things"
On the seventh he returned.
"The times GOMEZ he said; "the
SHOWS going away sharp, and the
rocks is already squittering down, but,
glory be, the holes open. All we've
got to pray for now is that the Kid'll
listen to the vice OF reason. Leave
her to mel"
As we were sitting at table he said,
in casual way:
81 was up to my old lot in Peters.

holiday, sir; and you've no idea how

der take a look around arter that
stone we used to think such a lot Of
jest for curiosity ike,-hey? The Kid
used ter make a fine to do about bein'
good when she was sick; do you feel
like it now, my gel?'
Lola turned deadly pale, and was
silent for moment, then, lifting her
eyes.to mine, she stretched her hand
out, and, as took it, said:
81 am ready"
We made our preparations that af-
ternoon, and took the night train
from San Diego to Canon River, where
we put up for the night. In the morn
ing we took the stage to Great Canon
City,-a deserted mining town at the
foot OF the Sierra. After lunching at
the only hotel, we hired mules. and,
leaving thevalley, assembled the lnoun-
tain path.
Water streamed freely down the
mountain path upon the lower slopes;
but our difficulties only commenced
when we reached the line where the
half-melted snow made the rocks
treacherous even to the feet OF the
sure mules. We had four hours
OF terribly rough and dangerous tray
cling before we reached Petersville,-
the most wretched collection ofrotten
shanties ever saw.
Not q living creature was to be seen.
there WAS not foot mark in the
slushy snow which still lay upon the
ground; it seemed completely aban-
doned, But the Judge led the way
through the deserted rows of tumble
down huts, and presently pointed to
one from which q column OF blue
smoke was ascending through the clear
