The Earth's Journey,

The earth does not travel at the same
rate all through its journey. Its orbit
being elliptical, it must at some time
approach nearer to the sun than at
others and will take less time in NOV
Ing through one part of its path than
through another. In winter the earth
ts nearer the sun than in summer and
moves through space more rapidly. On
Jan. l the earth is about 5000, 900
miles nearer the sun than it is on July
l, and as the velocity Of a planet in
creases with 1t nearness to the sun the
earth passes over one-half of its orbit
in less time than over the other half.
Between the vernal equinox, which
happens on March 81 and the autumnal
equinox, which falls on Sept. 80, the
earth is 1856 days in accomplishing that
half Of her journey round the sun,
while the other half occupies only 179
days. It has been said that, owing to
the friction caused by the tides and
other reasons, the earth is moving more
slowly than it used TO do, and that the
days are consequently frightening, but
as this is only to the extent of half q
second in century it will be long
time before there will be any apparent
oiYsrence. = BROOKLYN EaRla.

EXERCISE FOR THE EYES.


Absolutely Necessary In Order That ne
Vision May Be Preserved.
When the eyes are treated fairly, they
are strengthened, not weakened, by
| work. just as the arms of blacksmith
grow the stronger for his trade, so the
eyes of watchmakers who work under
healthy conditions are found to improve
and not to deteriorate in vigor and
quickness. 1t is the abuse of the eyes,
not their use, which is to be avoided.
If man is aware either that his eyes
need no artificial correction or else
have received their proper adjustment.
and If his work, whether literary en-
mechanical, is done in a light both
steady and sufficient and with a due re-
gard as to ordinary sanitary rules, he
may feel sure that he is strengthening
his eyes, not weakening them. by hard
work. Men of intellectual pursuits
sometimes are afraid of losing their
mental powers in old age because they
have drawn SO much upon them when
young. The reverse is nearer the truth,
and If they have not overtaxed their
brains the fear is absolutely groundless.
The man whose intellect goes first in
old age is generally some farmer or la
borer who has never strengthened and
invigorated it by use; not the politician,
the lawyer or the man of letters. So
with the eyes. Those who had strength
ened their eyes by using them properly
keep keen sight longer than those who
have never trained them. In the case
of the man who has neglected to give
his eyes full development they will fail
in power along with his other bodily
functions. When, however, the man
who, born with good eyes, has kept
them in constant hard work and yet
never strained them reaches old age, he
may find them capable of performing
their functions better than any other or

Kissed the Filling Out of Her Teeth.

A kiss imprinted on his sweetheart's
lips has involved Henry Ives, Bergen
county farmer, in suit. Several months

she would permit none but her future nus

coyness won Henry's heart. When about
to go away one evening several weeks ago,

ghost made quite q long harangue. How
ever, the story is interesting, and in one
point quite awful in its grcwsome detail.
Here it Is:
The wayside inn at Ballvona, in the far
| north, was picturesque and comfortable
and within easy reach was abundance of
excellent fishing. 1 had ''ghillie' who
was as well verscd in piscatorial lore as
ancient Walton himself. Ronald MacIvor
knew every pool in tho river and every
nook In it where salmon lay, and he was
an equally unerring authority away among
the lonely mountain lochs and streams,
He was an intelligent, manly fellow, light
OF heart and foot, and just such guide as
makes holiday bright and pleasant. Lit
tie did l dream as l parted with him one
evening after memorable days sport
that 1 should never again hear his cheer
full laugh or listen to those weird high
land stories that so often lightened the to-
dunn of the homeward journey.
Ronald was engaged to be married to
the miller's daughter, rustic beauty re-
siding in the adjacent hamlet. 1t was his
custom to visit her at tho close of each day.
His course for moro than mile lay along
the ledge of high rocks which sloped down
to the sea. Though tho way was danger

miliar from childhood with every step of

and in order to shorten the distance he
struck down toward the rocks, with the
intention of getting to tho base at point
farther on, but in doing SO he lost his foot
hold and fell distance of 30 feet.
The following morning. after waiting
for Ronald until midday, had to go alone
to favorite moorland stream and did not
return till late Then it was that found
he had disappeared. Ominous fears and
whispers were soon in full wing. But the
general alarm did not move me. had
confidence in Ronald and was certain that
he would shortly turn up This he did,
though in way far other than I had an

In the gloom of the third evening, as
Evan Matheson, thoughtful but absent
minded villager, was vending his way
homeward he saw Ronald coming in his
direction from ono of the neighboring
houses. Never doubling it was he, Evan
accosted him as they met, but the words
that fell on his cars, SO plaintive and SUI
filled him with unutterable
dread.

They seek me, but in lifc they shall never

Now It's an Aluminium wedd,nr.

The already long list of jubilees and
family celebrations has been enriched
by novelty in the line of wedding fes-

rich manufacturer living in the neigh

between the silver and golden wedding
to be altogether too long, and halving

cities the one most given to societies and

Sympathetic Vaccination.

The Listener has heard of something
very queer and quite new to him. 1t
is sympathetic vaccination, which sew.
eral people are said to have suffered
from. Without having been vaccinated
at all, but with vaccinated people all
about, you presently feel at times a
singing or itching sensation in spot
on your arm where the doctor would
have vaccinated you if you had been
vaccinated. In some cases this sympa.
thetic vaccination afflicts only the left
arm, but occasionally it shifts from one
arm to the other, appearing first on the
left and then for time on the right.
1t is believed to be a nervous outgrowth
of the continual complaints of vaccinat-
ed people and their everlasting descrip.
ton of their sensations. Boston Tran

THEY DISCOVERED THE DEAD Ronr

Anbl ploCONEhED THE DEAD BODY,
of which stood open, he rushed in and
swooned. On recovering he told what be
had seen and heard, but no one believed
his tale. They said it was the creation of
his own imagination, the mere phantasy
OF an overheated brain, and SO little heed
did they give to it that they did not even
seek to verify its truth or discover its false
hood by going to the spot where Ronald
was said to have met his death.
Next day was dark and lowering. The
clouds chased each other in wild array,
and the birds lowered low, with wide
circling flight. About midday the storm
ragged, and the white capped waves rolled
mountain high and dashed in fury against
the rocks of the north, the first barrier to
break their course during an onward reach
Of more than 5000 miles. In nature,
grand as 1t is, there is nothing grander
than this war of the storm, the sea and the
beetling cliff.
1t was not, however, to admire the
grandeur of the elemental strife that the
inhabitants of Ballvona FASTENED to the
shore. A vessel hove in sight with dis
mantled masts and unable to brave the
heavy sea had turned landward and was
drifting for the bay. This was her only
chance but it was full of risk, for there
was no depth of water, and beneath were
treacherous banks of sand. On she came,
with her living freight at one time hid
den altogether from view, then perched
aloft, but at last there is a crash-she has
grounded and heeled over ON her side
Those on shore put out manfully to the
rescue OF the unfortunate crew, and soon
all OF them not already swept overheard
were brought in safety to land.
1t was sad day, and it cast gloom
over many heart. But its saddest sight
had yet to be revealed. AS the villagers
who had been viewing the shipwreck were
returning they discovered the dead body of
Ronald MacIyor, stretched ON the sand
few feet beyond tho sea margin, with
cash in his forehead and q pocket hand
kerchief used as bandage for the wound.
