Correcting the Slant of japanese Eyes

Correcting the Slant Of japanese Eyes,
"The japanese are not only adopting

the japanese eye to make it look like

shape of their eyelids than in the color
of their skin, and those who can afford 1t

The egg market at Miller, Ga, went up
like rocket one day last week. From u
cents dozen the price shot up to 80 cents
and no questions asked as to whether they
were this sprin. eggs or last. And it real
" made little difference to the purchasers.
A certain third-party orator was advertised
to speak at Miller that day, and the adyer-
tisement said he would advance certain
propositions as to social equality between
the races that were extremely distasteful to
the citizens. That is why eggs were in de-
maud at Miller that day.-Sarannah Ne,c'.

Here is a true story of Vermont
sheep dog which scOtchmen will find it
hard to match.
Capt. c., of Bradford, says the
Chicago Post, had a shepherd dog"
which was accustomed to bring home the
COWS at night, always separating them
from the other cattle and never allowing
any but milch cows to come up.
One day Capt. c. accompanied the
dog in driving the COWS TO pasture. AT
one place on the road the captain was
surprised to see the dog desert the herd
and take to the woods by the side of the
road. The captain went on with the cat
tie, which were walking briskly in adj
vance.
Within quarter of a mile they came
to a break in the fence, of which the cap
tain had no knowledge, leading into a
field and here, in the gap of the fence,
sat the dog in matter-of-fact way,
guarding it against the entrance of the
cattle.
What else could his master suppose
than that the dog was aware of the gap
in the fence, and knowing the man would
bring up the cattle, made detOur thro'
the woods to the place to prevent the cat
tie from going into the feld2

THE ENGINEER.

Like flash of light the through express
Flies over the silvery line,
Bearing its burden of human souls
On, on through the gay sunshine.
There at the throttle-bar, brown and grim,
His deep eyes looking ahead,
Tho engineer, in his oily clothes,
Stands frm and free from dread.
The track is his own, all must give way,
Yes See at the town on there?
The morning freight on the siding waits;
All is right no call for care.
Alb, God an open switch One move
And his bar is quick reversed;
Then the air-brakeI drag. Jump! jump! or
Death
On your soul will do his worst.
The engine lurches upon the switch,
Just ahead there stands the freight;
He can save the train il he keeps his post;
For himself? All well. ask Fate,
A ffightful crash the passengers saved,
With their faces white with dread
And under his engine. crushed and torn,
The brave engineer lies dead.
Think, as YOU fly mid the sunshine bright,
Or through tho storm and rain,
BY day and night DER plain and gorge,
Ofthe engineer OF the train.
Think of the thousand souls he holds
In his grasp, without fear;
Think Of the strain on nerve and on brain,
And pray for the engineer.
