SOMETHING IN THE EYE.
nethods by which Foreign Particles Can
BE Got Rid OF.

uethods by which Foreign Particles Can
BE Got Rid OF.
Never needlessly expose the eyes to
foreign PARTICLES, but when necessary
wear plain glasses or goggles. When
sxerimenting with chemicals always
turn the mouth of the tube or bottle
away from the face and eyes When
ever an eye is injured severely place
the patient Immediately in q dark
room aud under fine care OF a skilled
physician, whose airections must be
implicitly followed. The foreign
bodies may be solids, as sand, cinders,
hair, dirt, etc, lime, acids or aka
lies. Don't rub the eyes, avoid sud-
den glares Of light never look direct
~ at the sun.
To remove the solid particles from
under the lids it is, SUFFICIENT to pull
the lid away from the eye and to
wipe the body with piece Of moist
paper or the corner of handker-
chief; If it is under the upper lid
grasp the lid firmly between the
thumb and finger, lift it from the
eyebail 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 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
forciDly blow the nose.
Or place in the eye few grains OF
tlaxseed, which, forming mucilage,
will promptly bring relief. Or place
across the upper lip 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.
Lime and Roman cement are very
destructive to the eyes IL permitted
to remain any considerable time
Wash the eyes Immediately with
water containing vinegar or lemon
juice.
For acids in the eye wash with
water containing little ammonia or
baking soda. u
For alkalies wash with water con-
tanning vinegar or lemon juice -

The Pension Slashing.

When the pension appropriation bill
comes up in the house there is certain to
be q very lively discussion. Mr.. Circuit,
of Vermont, republican member of the
committee on appropriations, said that the
determination of the democrats to make
a reduction of $4,000, 900 in the PEN
sion appropriation bill was unjustifable
and that the republicans would seek in
the house to compel justice to be done
to the veterans. Speaking on the sub
ject, Mr.. Grout said: -. "-5t
ssThe secret of the reduction is that
the pension Office has stopped allowing
pensions to a large extent. Notwith-
standing the fact that there are several
hundred thousand claims. pending, the
pension Office will turn into the treas
ury at the end of the fiscal year an un-
expected balance Of S25, 008,0 For
the first six months OF the year the ex-
penditures have been 870,Oo6, 600 or at
the rate of $140,0eO,0O0 for the year.
This would be very commendsble
thing il 1t were the reeultof, any real
economy and it was not at the expense
OF the notification of the laws of con-
gress. go ''.' '+. 80
2aIf the claims pending were adjusted
and allowed at the same rate as under
the Harrison administration there would
have been no such possibility of cutting
the appropriation in any such way.
There will be no saving excepting what
is accomplished by Withholding pensions
until after veteran dies. II pension
is not allowed next year, there will be
no saving because the allowance next
year, will be all the greater because
of increased arrearages, but if the
old veteran diesin poor house or some
where else. before he gets his pension
there will be a saving to the govern
ment. Do the people OF the United
States want that kind OF economy? I
do not believe that they do.
What is the justice Of congress pass
ing laws providing for the payment OF
pensions to veterans and then an admin
istfative officer OF the government with
holding the pensions until tho veteran
dies in order to make showing Of econ
omy. The country viii not sustain
that kind Of work, and I doubt very
much IL congress does when the sub
ject is placed before it rightly as it well

Araenic In wan Paper.

It is generally known that arsenic
enters into the coloring of many kinds
OF cheap wall papers, and some of the
better grades also, writes w. P. Pond
In the Ladies' Home Journal. These
are generally, but not always, of hues
in which green predominates, and are
very injurious to health. The first
symptoms Of arsenical poisoning are
headache, pains in the eyes at the
back Of the pupil, itching, and gener-
ally nausea of the stomach, all OF
which are liable to be the result of
living in a room with wall paper on
the walls which is impregnsted with
arsenic A simple but etfectual test
will Immediately locate the presence
Of the mineral, and every housewife
should have the necessary knowledge.
Take small piece of the suspected
paper and lay it in watch glass, or
in porcelain spoon, pour over it
enough solution Of the household am
monia to cover it, let it stand a few
minutes, and then drop in q piece of
nitrate Of silver lunar or stick caus-
tic and If yellow precipitate forms
as it dissolves there is arsenic pres
ent and the paper should be re-
jected If the nitrate of silver dis
solves without yellow appearing there
is no arsenic, and no trouble need be
apprehended. ...

Keeping Manure from Freexinr.

Manure in winter should be piled
in heaps large enough to ferment It
will then always be warm in tho
middle, and if the manure be from
grafn-fed horses it will be sure to
heat and 'flre-fang in the Iiddle
while frozen at the outside edges.
The act Of turning of the heap, put
ting the frozen part in the center,
will stop this loss, but after two or
three times turning the manure will
be compact so that it will heat much
more rapidly than at 6rst It must
then be trodden down so as to pre-
vent active fermentation, or better
still be drawn and spread on land in
tended for hoed crops next season.

Clover nay Good Enough.

We doubt whether there is much
IL any advantage in ensilaging the
clover plant. ANY one who has tried
cutting green clover In cutting box
into fine pieces will understand that
IL requires an immense tpower. It
seems easier when the power is furn-
ished BY horses or by steam, but the
strength to run the cutter wears on
it very fast Cutting cornstocks is
easy work in comparison. Then after
cutting the clover does not work in
the silo as the corn does 1t is too
heterogeneous and will turn black
with excessive heating, however care
fully it is covered up The smell Of
rottlng clover is peculiarly offensive.
Even IL comparatively sweet, clover
ensilaQe loses more valuable nutri-
ment than does corn under like cir
castahceS, It is a mistake, there
fore, to feed clover as ensilage. The
clover Is needed to balance the corn
ration, but it is all the better,
especially Ia winter, to be fed dry.
Good well cured clover hay will be
eaten. readily ip cold weather By
STOCK after they have eaten all they
will Of corn enstlaRe. Part OF the
ration ought to be, dry. In our view
the clover should be that part -

ATLANTA's EXPOSITION.
Representative Livingston Complete
His Report.

Washington, June Representative
Livingston, of Georgia, chairman of the
subcommittee on appropriations, having
in charge the bill TO provide for the cree
tion of building to include government
exhibit at tho Atlanta exposition, today
completed his report, which will be laid
before the House appropriations commit
tee on Monday. The report shows that
the exposition will result in increased
trade and closer commercial relations be-
tween the United States and Mexico and
Central and South America, the West
Indies and Europe. Mexico has assured
the projectors that she win make an ex-
hibit, and other countries TO the south of
as will give similar assurances
when it becomes known that our
government will be an exhibitor
The exposition will give the first oppor-
tunity TO colored citizens to make an ex-
hibit of their development and progress
during the first generation of their free
dom. The city of Atlanta has made lib
eral donations for the exposition The
governors of all the southern and south
western states have indorsed It,
and upon the meeting of their
respective legislatures appropriations
for exhibits ere expected to be
made. The company having the enter
prise in charge is solvent and many Of
its members have been connected with
other expositions at Atlanta. The COM
pany agree that they will protect the
government from any further expendi-
ture or liability on account of any indebt-
edness that might be considered mat
ter of honor by any foreign
government and the proviso in the
bill in this respect will be
effective and sufficient means of protect
ing the government. The bill asks an ap-
preparation of 5000, 900, of which sum not
exceeding $4,000 is TO be used in remov-
ing to Atlanta the government building
erected at the worlds fair. The remain
ing $4,000 is to be used TO defray the ex-
penses of proper governmental exhibit
An alternative proposition authorizes the
erection of a new building to prevent any
9xtrayagant outlay in the removal of this
old building, and to be resorted to only il
the cost of removal and re-erection
should exceed the estimates, or in case
the old building can be disposed of other
wise at fair price.

Washington, June 2.-The counsel for

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-The United
States steamship Kearsarge was wrecked
on Roncador reef Feb. 2. The officers
and crew were saved. The news reached
the navy department in a dispatch
which came from Colon. It was sent
by Lieutenant Brainard of the Kear-
sarge, who reached Colon Feb. :.
The Kearsarge sailed from Port au
Prince, Hayti, for Bluefields, Nicaragua.
to protect American inlScests there, in
view of the invasion OF the military
forces of Honduras. She was wrecked
three days out. Roncador reef is a little
over 200 miles from the Mosquito coast
of Central America. Before the coast
and the reef lies Old Providence island,
only Is or 80 miles to leeward of the
reef. 1t is is believed at the navy de-
partment that the officers and crew
would be able to reach Old Providence
without difficulty in case they were in
danger of their lives on the reef, and it
is believed that they would be safe on
the reef, except in the event of rough
weather
