Happy Are the Near-sighted.

Sarcey, it seems, was at one
time very shOrt-sighted, but a sue
cessful operation made him long
sighted to an extraordinary degree.
This restoration of his sight was not
altogether an unmiXed blessing. For
the first time since his childhood he
could see things at a distance. His
home, that he thought so fine, was
found to be neglected and dirty; his
precious china was Clipped and
cracked; his books were Soiled and
torn. But the browning blow came
when a grand luncheon was given to
celebrate the restoration of the crit
les sight. "Women were invited in
great number, and came in their very
best. The comedie-Francaise, the
Vaudeville, the Odeon were repre-
sented by their fairest ones, and the
table was a sight for the gods''-at
least Sarcey would have thought so
six weeks before. But very soon his
countenance fell, and saw his eye
wandering about in astonishment-
aye, in distress. He laughed no
more, and looked miserable. After
the coffee he made sign to me, and
I followed him upstairs, believing
him to have been disturbed by the
thought of some work which ought to
be done at once. But he threw him.
self heavily on his sofa, which groaned
as if sharing its masters despair, and

eraprllnr for nturneon.

Ono day In March, 1851, writes a
youths Companion contributor, I
was walking along the road built on
top Of the great dam which spans tho
Grand River at Dunnville, Ont,
when j saw curious sight. Drawn
up by the side Of n waste weir at the
west end Of the dam were several
farmers deep-boxed wagons, tho
owners OF which werc engaged in the
exciting and profitable sport of load
ing them with great, 1oundering
sturgeon.
In minute l was down among the
men, watching with interest this
novel mode of fishing.
The race or weir was literally filled
with the fish, which, in attempting
to run up stream to spawn, found
themselves stopped by the dam.
Every moment fresh schools were
coming In from tho river, crowding
the vast masses already damned into
the shallow passage until somo Of
them were actually forced clean out
of the water.
Each OF tho farmers was armed
with common ten-foot rafting pole,
In tho lower end of which were u
spike and hook. With these rudo
implements they wero simply Crap
pling tho sturgeon, and hauling them
one by ono to shore as quickly ms their
strong arms could work.
Tho fish averaged from forty to
eighty pounds In weight, but now
and then monster of perhaps ono
hundred or one hundred and ten
pounds was hooked. Three times l
saw one OF these big fellows drag his
would-bo captor Off tho bank, and
pitch him headlong upon the squlrm-
Ing shoal, TO the Infinite delight OF
his companions.
Notwithstanding many laughablo
accidents, tho wagons, eight In all,
were fully loaded in the course OF tw1
hours, and us each contained ut least
ton tho total catch for that boat
must have been some sixteen thou
sand pounds. Yet after tho men had
driven away tho waste weir seemed
as full rs bcforel
AT that time tho sturgeon was not
| tho important article OF commerce
which it has since become. These
farmers would salt down tho bcst
portions of the fish, or so much of Il
rs they could use, and feed tho res
to their hogs,
Now, such catch as above dc
scribcd would ncG tho fisherman quit,
respectable sum of perhaps
three cents pound, or four hundred
and eighty dollars in all

AN EASY WAY 10 CLEAN SILVER.

'iTho housckoepcr who wears out her
patience and muscle in cleaning silver
with whiting and brush or any of tho
pastcs and powders with which tho
market is full, has my sincere sympathy"
is the opinion Of n woman who is always
ON the lookout for tho easiest way to do
things. 81 long ago learned that tho
expert, the dealer and the chemist have
nico littlo ways, which wo of tho
household brigade would do we'll 10 find
out, and ono day ono of these people
gave mo a point which have ever since
found to be IL great advantage. by ono
of these simple and manageable processes
can, with the hclp OF M ordinary assist
ant, clean my entire household silver In
half al hour, aud this is the way do
it
az put eight quarts of water into
kettle and add half pound Of s1l soda,
and lot this como to boil. Have also
kettle containing about tho same guam
tity OF clean, hot, rather strong soapsuds.
Dip each piece quickly into the soda
water, and Immediately remove to tho
suds, rinsing very thoroughly, then dry
rs quickly rs possible with soft linen
cloth. No injury to the silver need DO
npprehsndo1 unless tho pieces aro per-
mittcd to remain for mn unnecessary
length of time in the soda. IL articles
are very much blackenod and discolorcd,
they may be rcdipped after thoroughly
rinsing and drying. I have done my
silver in this way for years; some Of it is
sterling and tho remainder plate. 1 never
fail in the most excellent results. OF
course, in this rs we'll rs everything
else, little practice will make the task
easier aud moro expeditions, but there is
none OF the wcarisomc, vcxatioas rub
bling, which attended the old ways of
polishing these necessary articles"

Umbrellas I'm Turkey.

In many Eastern countries M umbrella
is mark Of distinction, and its use is
confined to people Of rank. Turkey is
one of the few Asiatic countries where
the umbrella is in common use, and car
red rs protection from rain. In most
places its use is that of paraso. Says
an Eastern traveller: CARRYING at Con-
stantinoplc from countries further TO the
cast, where the umbrella is considered a
badge Of high rank, was much aston
ished to find it in common use in rainy
weather. However, | soon learned that
traces of the same superstition existed.
Ono rainy morning 1 had occasion to
wink along the road which faces the
Bosphorus. Onc of the buildings |
passed is fGvoritc palace of tsc Sultan,
in which he was then residing. As l
approached the gate with my umbrella
over my head, ono of the scntinels
stationed there accosted me in threat
cning manner. Not understanding what
be said, went on, whercupon he ran at
me with his fixed bayonet lcvelcd. AT
that moment friendly Turk, who was
walking behind me, snatchcd my UNI
brela with violence from my hand aud
thrust me forward. Then the soldier
returned to his station, and allowed me
to proceed in peace. On returning my
umbrella the Turk explained that every
one is obliged to take down his um-
brella on passing the actual residence of
the Sultan. No matter how heavy the
rain, each person passing the palace must
lower the umbrella and not eleyate IL
again until fully past the building"

How n Fish Sees.

The medium in which fresh water
fishes live gives them chance to sec II
great distance only in tho horizontal
direction, and the proper adjustment of
the eye would make, under usual con-
ditions, the optical axis take this dircc.
ton. To me it seems impossible to OK
plain the constant revolution OF the oye.
ball on any other hypothesis except that
gwen, viz. That the optical axis OK.
tends forward instead of sidewise.
When fish wishes to cat anything,
either Mt the bottom of the pond or at
the surface of tho water, it swims
directly toward the object; aud in this
case tho eyes are instantly adjusted in
line with the body, so rs to bring tho
image of the particle desired upon tho
postcrior portion of the rctina. In this
case thoy lose their usual horizontal
position.
If n fish wishes to turn to the right or
left in the water, says Professor Apgar
in the American Angler, the first NOV O.
ment is that of the eyes in unison in tho
dlrection of the turning. This would
be entirely unnecessary if the apparent
axis was the axis of most distinct vision,
as ono of the eyes would see oil that was
to be seen on the side of the turning.
After this movement of the eyes tho
body turns enough to bring the eye, into
their normal position, thcn thcro isagain
movement of the eyes and next move
mcnt of the body. This causes peculiar
jerking motion of the cycballs during
the whole time Of the turning Of the
body.

HOUSEHOLD MATTERS

Tho buffalo bug is comparatively

housewives have learned to fear him. Ho
has various forms in various states of

TO tell what no is from worm to fly. Ho
Is best known, perhaps, as hard
shelled, dark-brown thing, not unlike
the lsdy-bug in shape. Ho will lunch
on any fabric, wooden or hempon, and
what no does not cat he destroys. Some
times no starts on the edgo of carpet
or rug and cats his way around q room.
Only poison can stay his course. Some.
times he gets into the crack of floor and
eats tho carpet in straight line from end
to end. When tho bug starts ON such a
tour, the housewives only resource is to
saturate her carpet with turpcntlnc.

A HOT WEATHER VEGETABLE.

The possibilities OF the cucumber, OK.
cept for picking or salads, are little un.
dcrstood. 1t is excellent in soup, rs well
US fried, slowed, stuffed, and many Other
why's.
Cucumber Soup-Cut ono large, or two
medium.sized cucumbors into thin slices,
strew salt over them, and place between
two plates to drain. Put thom into n
saucepan, with quart and half pint Of
some white stock, either chicken or veal.
and simmer gently, without reducing tho
quantity, for forty minutes. Season with
salt and little cayenne; thickcn with
ground rice, or arrow-root, wet with
milk, and, as soon rs it has boiled up,
draw to tho eide OF the fire; add half n
pint of hot milk and the beaten yolks of
two eggs. Serve at once. The safest
way to add eggs to any hot liquid is to
turn little Of the latter slowly into tho
bowl containing the yolks, beating the
white. When the bowl is full, turn it
all into the vessel containing the rest,
still beating, and VIXEN thoroughly hot
pour into the tureen.
Stuffed Cucumbcrs-Thcrc arc several
ways of preparing these. Peel two large
ones, and with sharp knife cut out a
piece from the side. With small tea
spoon remove the seeds aud fill with nice
forcemeat of any kind; replace the
piece and tie securely with stout white
thread. Line the bottom OF saucepan
with thin slices of bacon aud veal, lay on
the cucumbers, then another layer of
veal and bacon, three new carrots,
scraped, three small onions, and rs many
turnips; cover with stock or water and
simmer until all are tender. Thicker
the gravy and pour it around the meat
and vegetables after they arc neatly
dished. Season, when about half done,
with salt and pepper. Another way is
to cut them in halves, take out the seeds
and fill with forcemeat made of equal
parts of bread crumbs and chopped mar
row, we'll seasoned with salt and pep.
per. Tie the halves together, lay ON a
baking dish. nearly cover with meat
gravy, and bake until teadcr. A good
substitute for meat gravy is Il brown
drawn butter.
Cucumbers Stewed-Pecl AMI cut in
to quarters lenethwise, dredge with
flour, season, and fry lightly IN hot but
ter; put them in saucepan, with come
good brown gravy and stew slowly I'M
til tender. Add the least triae OF sugar
and teespoonful OF vinegar to tho
sauce; thickon. slightly and pour around
tho cucumbcrs. Sometimes an equal
amount OF small button onions arc
stewod with the quarters OF cuculnbcrs.
