EXERCISE FOR It4E EYES

Absolutely Necessary In Order That the
Vision May BE Preserved.
When the eyes are treated fairly, they
are strengthened. not weakened, by
work. Just as the arms Of a 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
Suickness. 1t is the abuse of the eyes,
not their use, which is to be avoided.
II a man is aware either that his Eyes
need no artificial correction or else
aave received their proper adjustment,
and if his work, whether literary or
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 OF Ia.
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
gan of the body.-Philadelphia Times

LOVES REMINDERS.

Shy bluebird IN yon maple spray,
My coming causes you surprise.
You cry aloud and fly away
On wings that glitter as they rise;
So blue are they, so skyey clear,
Unequaled bliss their beaming brings;
For now | think of one most dear,
Whose eyes are bright as bluebird's wings
From covert groves glides forth a trill
OF wild birds singing Justify,
Yet while | list my thoughts will still
Seek her who is most dear TO me,
For, oh, her soft and soothing voice
Sounds merrier than the leaping throng
Or waters when spring rills rejoice
It's music mates the innet's song.
Upon a bourgeoned white birch broad
A squirrel gambols spry and feet,
Until. bym rude spaniel awed,
She higher mounts on hasty feet;
And a. she bounds without a fall
From lower limbs TO limbs above
Her agile motions well recall
The fake-light footballs of my love.

garding the bills of this session has raised
a question of gravest character. Two Of
those bills, the home rule bill and the EN-.

ton of the house Of commons 100 days
They involved vast labors. Members OF
the house of have worked
through this session almost double the
length of time of any session on record
and with an uuequalled amount of in
tensity. This labor was for the purpose
Of enacting beneficial legislation The
house Of lords, without giving it much
consideration, wrecked that legisla'ion,'
[Cheers.l
Nr. Gladstone said he remembered a
book published in 1880 called Fifty
Years Of the House Of Lords" The con
tents Of the book left upon the mind of
every liberal Il painful but firm 60 vic
ton that The action of the house Of lords
during those fifty years had been griev-
ously unsatisfactory. ICheer>
After further reviewing the action Of
the lords in the past On various vital
questions, Mr.. Gladstone said:
1--WE have now come to a more acute
stage. The question now is whether the
judgment Of the house Of lords is not
only to modify, but TO annihilate rhe
whole work Of the house Of commons
lContinued cheering
The government has mol been anx-
ious to precipitate or duly accentuate a
crisis. 1t has been anxious rather TO
save something from the wreck. We
are, therefore, compelled to accompany
our acceptance Of the amendments Of
the house Of lords to the present bill
with the declaration that the difference
between the two houses cannot continue.

"Without using any hard words, or
without presuming to Judge motives, We
feel it our duty to state the indisputable
fact that the issue is raised between a de-
assembly elected by the votes

some men of virtue and talents. That
controversy, once raised, must go for

Rev. Hight c. Moore writes that his
collection Of Select Poetry of North
Carolina,' a volume on which he has
labored for four years, is at last ready for
publication. 1t will embrace eighty
poems by thirty five writers, and will be
bound in neat cloth. 1t will contain
about $50 pages.
To advance subscribers the price is
one dollar each. The taking of 500 vol
umes at once will insure its issue by
May L.
There has never been a collection of
North Carolina poetry that was worthy
of the state. Probably the only attempt
at this was made many years ago by Mrs.
Mary Bayard Clarke who collected in
"Carolina Carols some of the good
verse of North Carolinians. But thai
was before Mrs Clarke herself had writ.
ten many of her best poems.
Much verse has been written, but there
is little true poetry.
Yet, if Mr.. Moore has carefully culled
the best from every available source, the
volume will deserve a lasting place i in the
literature of the state.

Common Sense and Food.

The doctors, in truth, have accumu- lated a great stock of knowledge as to food. They know what ought to be eaten and drunk. They know what ought to be refused, and they know, within the limits fixed by climate and labor, what are the beneficial quantities to be consumed, but they have entirely failed to make their knowledge perme- ate the world. The educated have only glimmering ideas as to what their chil- dren should eat. Half of them, till few years ago, had a sort of horror of sugar, one of the most nourishing of all substances-and the uneducated have positively no ideas on the subject They just eat and give their children what they can get. It may be said that this is inevitable, because the majority in all countries are too poor to do anything else, but is that true?
 We are not pretending to be experts, but if we understand what professionals say much of the best food produced in the world is also the cheapest Oatmeal, for example, is very much better than wheat bread and infinitely better than rye bread, and it is cheaper than either. Hardly anything in the world is as nourishing as lentils, which might be sold much cheaper than bread, and eaten, too, with dripping, an invaluable combination. Millet, on which the big races of India grow so tall and strong, might, if there were a demand for 1t in Europe, be far cheaper than wheat, and so might 'corn flour," on which Ken tuckians, the strongest race in America, are bred, though that requires mixtures with less nitrogenous diet London Spectator.
