Care Of the Eyes.

A French woman who knows
what she is talking about has this
to say on the subject of eyes:
Never rub your eyes nor allow
your children to do so from their
cradles.
Wells are bad for the sight, espe-
cially those spotted or covered with
a pattern so eschew wells when you
can, or wear the softest, clearest net
when obliged to do 80.
Never read in bed or when lying
on the sofa.
Sit with your back to the light
when engaged reading or working.
Pale blue or green's are the most
restful wall papers for the eyes,
whereas red is exceedingly fatigu-
ing to the eyes,,
Do not read, write or work longer
than two hours together without
resting your eyes and closing them
fully five minutes.
Be more careful to live in a dry
house on dry soil.
Attend to the digestion, for did
not Milton declare his blindness to
proceed from the effects Of the
dyspepsia.
If the eyes be weak bathe them
in q basin of soft water, in which
a pinch Of table salt and dessert
spoonful of brandy has been added.

Two Ephitaphs Which Amuse
Foreign Readers.

Remarkable are two epitaphs, the
first of which is said to be upon a
tombstone in the city of Sacra-
mento: "Here is laid Daniel Bor-
row, who was born in Sorrow, and
Borrowed little in Nature except
his name and his love to mankind
and hatred to redskins; who was,
nevertheless, o gentleman and q
dead shot; who, through q long
life, never killed his man except
in self-defense or by accidents : and
who, when he at last went under,
beneath the bullets of his cowardly
enemies in the saloon OF JEFF Nor
ris, did 80 in the sure and certain
hope of q glorious and everlasting
morrow The other, which be-
longs to q Nevada burying place,
is such q noteworthy achievement
in this line that it may ftly con-
clude our compilation of few Of
the curiosities Of epitaph literature :
SACRED to the memory Of Hank
Monk, the whitest. biggest hearted
and best-known stage driver Of the

thought i'll Of none. He lived in
a strange era, and was hero, and

Rather Paradoxical.

DR.. r. w. st. Clair, of Fort Wayne,
Ind, tellsrhow, q few years since, he
was riding on an engine and caught
q cinder in his,eye that caused the
most excruciating pain. He says
that he naturally began to. rub the
afflicted organ when the engineer
called out: LET that eye alone and
rub the other ona." The doctor
looked incredulously ct his adviser,
but the latter only continued s. I
know you doctors think you know
it all, but if you.will let that eye
alone and rub the other one the
cinder will be out in two minutes. y
The doctor says that he began to
rub the we'll eye vigorously and
soon felt the cinder move down to
the inner corner. He was prepar-
ing to take it out by the aid Of .
small mirror when the engineer
again admonished him to keep rub
bing the we'll eye, which he did for .
minute longer, and then found that
the cinder had slipped down onto
his cheek. Who can give q sensible
explanation of this odd proceeding? !?

sLAusnTEa OF RAILROAD MEN.
Coupling Cars the Great Cause
Of Death and Injury.

Henry c. Adams, statistician OF
the Interstate Commerce Commits.
sion, presents in, the June number
of the Forum the following start
ling showing of deaths and acci-
dents to railroad employees:
Total number railway employees
| (all hinds) .......... ....... 740, ,3O1
Number killed in one year ..... 2.451
Number injured in one year.. 22,S96
This means one death for every
three hundred and six and one in
jury for every thirty men employed.
Confining the statement to those
employees engaged directly in the
handling Of trains, that is to say,
engineers, firemen, conductors and
other train men, the results are be-
yond the experience in any other
business or trade.
Total number of trainmen only. 153, 1876
Number killed in one year r.... 2,459
Number injured in one year 49,. 1919
This means one death for every
one hundrd and FIVE and one injury
for every twelve men engaged in
handling trains. In no other en-
ployment, not even in mining,
which is a most dangerous occupa-
ticn, can such results be shown.
AS to the chief causes of deaths
and injuries the total number killed
in coupling and uncoupling cars
was 369, and the number injured
was 7842, while sthe total number
killed in falling from trains and
engines was sci, and the total num-
Der injured was 1858; that is to
say 1894 per cent of the total num-
Der of deaths and 1857 per cent Of
the total number of injuries sus-'
tanned by railway employees resulted
while coupling cars or setting
brakes.
Out of a total of 1,1O5,042 cars
used in freight service, there are
but 1880 fitted with automatic
couplers, and but 1905 equipped
with train brakes. We can we'll
understand, in the light Of such
figures, when taken in connection
with the fact that there are forty
four different kinds of couplers and
nine kinds of train brakes in actual
use, that so-called safety appliances
as at present used, increase rather
than decrease the danger of railway
employment.
Mr.. Adams advocates the adop-
ton by the Government of uniform
appliances for coupling, and the
requirement that all roads shall
