by falling against the pump. and as the by

claims Under drew a knife and started

Spoons.

The spoon must date back to a
very ancient period, for, although it
is always possible TO eat solid food
with the tingers-a very ancient and
very natural practice-the same is
not the case with a liquid or semi
solid aliment, and it is not possible
that the famous Lacedamonian black
broth was consumed otherwise than
with a sort of spoon. Moreover,
spoons have been found at Pompeii
and In several excavations. In a
much remoter antiquity the Egyp-
tians, in the seventeenth century be-
fore the Christian era, used spoons
for mixing certain powders with bev-
erages. These spoons, OF which quite
large number are in existence, were
remarkable for their generally fine
and very rich characterization. The
museum Of the Louvre possesses sew

Improving the Eyes

1t is salts factory to be told by Mr.
"slowly decreasing" though Great
Britain still stands in this respect behind
two other European countries, and three
more come before Ireland. Short-sight-
edness, however, appears to be increas-
ing everywhere, Germany having signal
aud sinister pre-eminence in this respect.
A French doctor has noted the re-
markable fact that wild beasts caught
quite young or born in captivity become
short-sighted, the conclusion being that
the eye adapts itself to its hdbitual
sphere of vision, and unless " educated"
to use Mr.. Ellis's term, to see objects at
distance, loses the capacity of SO doing.
Even in after life the eye may be,
to some extent, so educated, though
probably only when the myopla is not
considered.
1t is thus within the experience of tbs
present writer that his sight greatly i'm
proved in days gone by, when he became
volunteer. by practice at the butts. so
that while at first he &C lid not zee the
target to shoot ut without spectacles at
39O-yard range, after twelvsmonth OF
so he only needed TO put on spectacles at
400 yards. But beyond that range he
was never able to dispeLse with them.
Country excursions art, therefore, ex-
tremely valuable as II cans of strengthen
ing the sight of town-bTcd children, and
the conductors of such excursions
should take pains to direct the eyes Of
the children to distant objects--to the
furthest hill, church tower or other
landmark, noting II possible, any inca
pacity TO discern the selected object, and
then selecting some nearer one for the
weaker-sighted.

AT its birth n trust or combine is
always chrlstened with the assurance
to the dear people that it will make
the article or articles it manufactures
or deals in cheaper; that the trust is
formed for the purpose of reducing
cost Of production, selling, etc, and
therefore it is blessing, minister
ing angel, that should be gladly well
coined by all good citizens Strangely
enough, however, when trust goes
to pieces for any reason, which is not
uncommon, for thieves will fall out,
the very first thing the public hears
is a doleful cry from the ex-members
of the defunct trust that the prices
OF their wares have disastrously de-
clined. The latest example OF this is
the glass trust, organic ID to reduce
the price of glass, of course, but when
the trust disbanded so did the COM
bine prices, which declined 20 per
