To Remove Substances From the Eye

To remove the solid particles from un- der the lids, it is sufficient to pull the lid away from the eye and to wipe the body with a piece of moist paper or the corner of handkerchief. If it is under the up per lid, grasp the lid firmly between the thumb and finger, lift it from the eye ball and draw it down over the lower lid, and then allow it to slide slowly back to its natural position. The foreign body will be scraped off on the lashes.
 The operation may be repeated several times. Or lift the lid from the eyeball, allow the tears to accumulate beneath the lid and forcibly blow the nose. Or place in the eye a few grains of flaxseed, which, forming mucilage, will prompt ly bring relief. Or place across the up- per lid the point of pencil or bodkin, and turn the lid back over it. In this way the foreign particle is brought into distinct view and can be readily wiped away.-W Washington Star.

The canal between Worsley and St. Helena in north England Is probably the longest and most remarkable canal of the kind in the world. It Is 16 miles long and is underground from one end to the other. Many years ago the man. agers of the Duke of Bridgewater's es- tate filed its old mines with water that they might transport the coal under ground instead of on the surface Ordi- nary canalboats are used, the power be- ing furnished by the men. The tunnel arch over the canal is provided with cross pieces, and the men propel the boats along as they lie on their backs on the loaIls of coal.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Curling by EIectrIcitr.

The electric curling iron is very sim pie. The wires conduct the electricity into the little stand into which the tongs are thrust. The latter are made the proper temperature by heat, which is generated by the resistance of the wires to the current. The stands are about two inches high and are usually nickel plated, although some of those manu- factured by a firm in Berlin are plated with gold and have handsome handles. In travelling the iron and stands occupy only very small space in satchcl. At tached to the stand IS silk cord, which may be adjusted to an incandescent wire after screwing off the little globe.-Ncw York Telegram.

Many Ministers Present.

Ex-Secretary Lincoln, while United States minister to England, wished to get into Westminster on the occasion of a special service there. Archdeacon Far rar had told MT. Lincoln to go to the east door of the cathedral to avoid the crowd and to inform the usher that he was the American minister, so that he could be conducted at once to the arch deacon's pew. When MT. Lincoln sent in his name and title, the usher came out and said, with surprise, For gra- cious' sake, how many American minis ters are there:" It seems that several gentlemen of the cloth had each deftly made his way into the church by inform ing the usher that he was an American minister.-San Francisco Argonaut.

Rare American Cnins.

Coin collectors have long appreciated the difficulty of making complete col lection of American specimens. The United States coinage of 1793 is very rare and dollar of the year 1794 has often sold for as much as $lO0. A 1796 half cent is so rare as to sell readily for $15, and half dollar of the same year is worth GO times its original value. While the half cent of 1894 is common enough, all the other coins of that year are rare, the dollar of that particular date being the rarest of all American coins. Only eight are known to exists out of the 1857 that were coined. The lowest price that one of these now changes hands for is $S00.-London News.

Sweetbeart Abhax-

There is in Galloway, Scotland, an ancient ruin known as Sweetheart ab- bey. Within its ivy covered, storm bat tered walls lies buried the affectionate and devoted Dervorgill, with the heart of her husband. John Baliol, em- balmed upon her breast. Lovely in their lives, in death they are not divided. The crumbling masonry is still and must ever be a romance in its symbols of death and decay, telling every day, as it has for 600 years, the thrilling story of a woman's tender love and devotion.-Ex- change

Why Fish should Be Carca For

Migratory fish are matched and partly matured in fresh water. They feed and grow in the sea, but they are never caught there, so that their protection and preservation should be in the hands of those who are so deeply interested in making them a salable commodity. Be sides all this there must be some consid- eration for the sportsman, who without question spends in the neighborhood in which he fishes 10 times as much money as all the fish he catches, if sold, would fetch.-Fishing Gazette.

Manufacturing Bank Notc..

A new principle has been suggested in the manufacture of bank notes. If a sheet of paper be plunged into a mixture of various ccloring matters, each color will penetrate into the fiber with a diff ferent degree of sreed. each brand hay ing a distinct color. T. would be impos- sible 10 initiate these effects without an exact knowledge of how the mixture of colors was made. If a drop of the mix tureo colors be allowed to fall on a sheet of paper, number of rings, each having a determined size and shade, will be de veloped, and thus imitation will be ren- dered even more dificult.-New York Telegram

nlunder Worse Than Guilt.

There are some penalties on innocent acts essential to human safety, and the signaler whose failure has destroyed q train must be punished, even though, when he pleads that he was in a 'dwam, :" he is to his own mind telling the simple and sufficient truth. Nature is even harder on blunder than on guilt, and though man has no right to be as stern as nature, which, for example. executed n dynamter at Madrid-not for his in- tcntion to murder, but for his careless ness in dropping his komb-still, there are points upon which he must he nearly as hard.
