Troublesome Cinders.

When travelling you should always carry a

instant that you feel foreign substance In the
eve throw your head back and drop two or
three faxseeds on the ball of the eye, and lift
the upper lid and draw it down over them so as
to hold them in. Then go about your business.
There is absolutely no dlsagreeable sensation
attached TO putting the seed in. and he relief
will come instantly. The theory IS that the
moisture of the eye dampens the seed and IL
pives ont a mucous substance which spreads
over the eye and covers the grit After awhile
the seeds will begin to work out, and will bring

SACRED RIGHTS OF PROPERTY
An English Curate's Suit for Trespass in
 ellis" Churchyard.

An English Curate's Suit for Trespass in
 ellis" Churchyard
 A curious fact has been brought to public notice in England by the con duct of Rev. John Vallancy, perpetual curate of Rosliston, who in the Burton county court prosecuted the daughter of one of his parishioners for trespass- ing in ''his" churchyard and damaging 'his" hay, by visiting her sisters grave and placing flowers thereon. For this outrage on the sacred rights of proper ty he claimed damages to the amount of one shilling and sixpence. He con- tended, says the NewYork Evening Post, that the churchyard was his private property and that no one had right to go into it without his permission. He cut the hay and stacked it in his yard, and had by a formal notice interdicted the defendant from damaging the crop by trimming the grass over her sisters grave, which had been done for three years. When the young lady persisted in visiting the grave he followed her, took hold of her, and, with contempt uous remark upon tho flowers which she had placed there, knocked them off. :. the grave with his stick. The reverend suiter lost his case because he was only perpetual curate. Had he been a rec tor he could have recovered. A Lon don newspaper in commenting upon the case says: By two sentimental fic- tions the churchyard is Gods acre, and the church, the national or the peoples church. But in dry law Gods acre is the incumbent's freehold, and the only right of the people in the national churchyards is the right to be buried there. The rude forefathers of the hamlets,' tho village Hampdens,' and all the rest, when once laid to sleep, merely serve the purpose of enriching the soil which produces the parsons hay crop, and their posterity may only visit their graves subject to the permis- sion and convenience of the lord of the soil.'

Recent Interesting Discoveries Regarding

Recent Interesting Discoveries Regarding
 the Crystals of Corunduln.
 The chief scientific interest of the ruby corundum flows from the ezs traordinary peculiarities of structure thatsit presents, ms well as from the mysterious, qualities that determine its striking color, says the Jewellers Cir cular. It is found in crystals of great variety of shapes. but all having tendency to the peculiar habit of growth known to crystallographers as ''twinnings" e,.By testing crystals of corundun with polarized light its structure is found. to be wonderfully complex, and under the microscope its exterior face is covered with strange network of sculpture, indicative of molecular changes. But probably the. most interesting thing about the corundum crystal is the fact that it is nearly always found to have inclosed and surrounded some foreign body or other which lies imprisoned in its midst Stranger still is the fact that those '.included" foreign bodies lie generally disposed in planes meet ing each other at an angle of sixty de- grees, the result being to produce the phenomenon of .'asterism," which is the term given to the white star of light which is observable on certain jewels cut with rounded surface. Very frequently the imprisoned body is minute bubble of gas or drop of liquid, containing sometimes little crystals of it's own. The microscopic cavities containing these things are often very numerous. For long time the nature of the gas and fluid con tained in the cavities remained mys- tery. The English philosopher, Brews- ter, was induced to investigate the subject by hearing that ruby which an Edinburgh jeweler had placed in his mouth had exploded while in that position, with unpleasant results. Other investigators followed, and it has now been made certain that the fluid is no other than liquid carbonic acid gas, reduced to that condition by being under great pressure.

When it is necessary for little children
to leave the table before their elders have
finished their repast, it is very nice to hear
them beg to be excused in polite
manner. But when they are a little older
grown too often they seem to forget, when
in haste to leave the table, that the mere
asking to he excused does not justify them
in leaving the table heforeit is really prop
er that they should do so, unless it is alb
solutely necessary.
Nowhere can children be better taught
nice table manners than at home, and
what they are taught there and made to
practice becomes a sort of second nature,
while that learned later in life is not SO
easy to practice and is more like an i'll fit.
ing garment.
When we see young people uneasy and
restless, because they have to remain seat
ed at table while Others finish eating while
they had finished some time before, we
may know at once that during childhood
they had not been taught Alright in this
one point Of table etiquette. Some parents
claim that they are glad when their chill
dren are through with their meals and are
glad to have them leave the table as soon
as possible Yet if children are taught to
behave properly at table this feeling would
not he so often expressed.
OF course when | speak of children re
naming at table do not mean during a
long, ceremogious meal, but during com
mon everyday family meals. But, says
some one, "such things are mere trites. -
Yet, my friend, you must admit our lives
are made up of trifes, and the common
laws of politeness do much toward smooth
ing the friction OF life. - Minneapolis
