Mems Facial characteristics.

Artists who draw funny pictures
of public men or who make carica-
lures are happy when they can find
some peculiar development of fea-
ture as distinguishing mark. What
a JOY and treasure they found in
Theodore Roosevelt! If the presi-
dent of the police board did not have
the big white front teeth, they
would be lost. All that is needed in
a comic picture of Roosevelt is a
row Of big teeth. Everybody recog-
nizes it at once. Cookers strong
point is his coal black beard, close
cropped and stiff as wires. Hills
nose and little side patches of whisk-
ers make up the man. The back
of his neck stands for President
Cleveland every time, and Grand.
fathers Hat" detected anywhere,
is good for president Harrison.
A perfect sphere on a big hulk of
a body is taken for Tom Reed
every time, and anything that re-
sembles Napoleon is believed to be
Mckinley. No n could mistake
Conkling's sharp nose, nor did any
one ever go astray on the heavy
puffs and wattles under the eyes of
Mr.. Blaine. Nc man has more fea-
lures strongly marked than Chaun-
cey Depew. He has a peculiar eye,
a wonderful 1ose, a remarkable
mouth, small and thin Tipped, a ter
rible amount Of jaw, the strongest
of chins. 1t is impossible to miss
him. Hair standing out every way
for Sunday, as the expression goes,
means anarchist. Smooth hair, plas-
tered down to the scalp, means dude.
Long lip means Irishman. Thick
lip means negro. And so forth and
so on.-New York Press.

Thomas Carlyle on Justice and Success.

In this Gods world, with its
wild whirling eddics and mad foam
oceans, where men and nations per-
ish as if wlthoutlaws and judgment
for an unjust thing is sternly de-
layed, dost thou think that there is
therefore no justice? 1t is what the
fool hath said in his heart. 1t is
what the wise in all times wore wise
because they denied and knew for
over not to be. I tell you again
there is nothing else but justice.
One strong thing I find here below
tho just thing, the true thing.
My friend, if thou hadst all the ar
tillery of W'oolwich trundling at thy
back in support of an unjust thing
and infinite bonfires visibly waiting
ahead Of thee to blaze centuries long
for thy victory on behalf of it, /
would advise thee to call halt, to
fling down thy baton and say in
Gods name, mol"
Thy "~success?" Poor devil, what
will this success amount to? If the
thing is unjust, thou hast not sue
ceeded. No, not though bonfres
blazed from north to south, and
bells rang, and editors wrote leading
articles, and the just thing lay tram
pied out of sight to all mortal eyes
an abolished and annihilated thing.
Success? In a few years thou wilt
DO dead and dark-all cold, eyeless,
deaf, no blaze of bonfres, dingdong
of bells, visible or audible to thee
again at all forever. What kind of
success is that?-Thomas Carlyle,

TO MAIfl1AIN GOOD VISION.
A Few Simple Rules For Preserving the
Sight Until Old Age.

A Few Simple fules fOr preserving ho
Sight Until Old Age.
A few simple rules carefully
obeyed will do much to preserve the
eyes in health. Light and color in
rooms are important. The walls are
best finished in a single tint. Win
dows should open directly upon the
outer air, and light is better when
they are close together, not separat-
ed by much wall space, not distrib-
uted. Light should be abundant,
but not dazzling. 1t should never
come from in front, nor should sun
light fall upon work or on the print
ed page. Never read or sew in the
twilight after an exhausting sever
or before breakfast. Look up fire.
quently when at work and fix the
eyes upon some distant object.
| Break up the stretch of wall by pic
lures that have a good perspective.
These rest the eyes, rs does looking
out of a window.
When at work on minute objects,
rise occasionally, take deep inspira-
lions with the mouth closed, stretch
the body erect, throw the arms
backward and forward, and step to
an open window or out into the open
air for a moment. Two desks of diff
ferent heights r valuable for a
student or writer, one to stand by
and the other to sit by. Plenty of
open air exercise is essential to good
eyesight.
The general tone of the nervous
system has much to do with the
eyesight. Prolonged or excessive
study frequently has pain or poor
vision as symptom. The use of to-
bacco may bring about defective
vision, and alcohol sometimes de-
stroys it utterly, owing to nerve in
1ammation that it sets up.
City life, with shut in streets and
narrow outlook, favors the produc-
ton of + in vision. When look
ing at distant objects, the normal
eye is at rest. To see near by, mus
oular effort is required. This effort,
when constant, changes the shape of
the eyeball. After the eighteenth or
twentieth year parts Of the eye that
earlier showed signs of bullying OF
becoming nearsighted may acquire
new strength, and those who escape
myopia up to this time are usually
free from it after that. The children
of nearsighted parents are in spe.
cial danger. They require constant
care. It is best to have all children's
eyes examined for defects when they
are 10 years old.
Nearsightedness and color blind.
ness are barriers to the army and
navy, to certain fine and mechanic
:: arts and to many industrial pursuits
Their early recognition saves time
and money and often prevents the
| encouragement OF defeat.
3 Ounces of prevention are better
: than tons of cure.' There are bu,
. few forms of partial or total blind
: ness that We're not at one time thu
, reverse of hopeless. In view Of thi:
. fact the duty of parents and guard
: ians is clearly manifest. Ignorance
must be replaced by knowledge
c~arelessness by enlightened fore
thought. Precautions in the way o
type, light, color and rest and exer
! else, together with occasional call
upon the oculist, will probably sc
y cure fair eyesight for ife.-Outlook

SIGHTS IN ROME.
The Vatican, Works of Art and the Raw
ages of the Vandals.

The Vatican, Works of Art and the ksa'-
ages of the vandals.
lust outside the Vatican IS a shop
stocked with bushels of rosarles,
crosses, crucifixes, medals and por-
traits. The s~hopkeeper and his wife
enjoy a prosperous trade, because
every Catholic who comes to the
Vatican and st. Peters wishes to
take home with him some of the
church symbols which have been
blessed by the holy father. Any one
purchasing beads or a crucifx writes
his name or the name of the person
for whom the symbols are intended
in a register and is given a certain
number. The goods are left with
the shopkeeper, who, at II O'CLOCK
noon, sends them into the Vatican to
be blessed. The pope, in going to
his midday meal, passes through a
number of compartments, and IN one
of these is placed each day many ar
ticles sent to him to be blessed.
Each rosary or other symbol is de-
livered by the shopkeeper, with a
certificate showing that it has re-
ceived the blessing. These cards are
mach priced, as they represent an
Indirect blessing from the pope,
whom it is practically impossible to
sec.
Tho most astounding stories which
have been told of vandalism and
barbarism as displayed by visitors
to tho art galleries fall short of the
truth. 1t does not seem possible
that any human being could dellber-
ately walk up to a chaste marble
and scrawl his name in lead pencil,
vet there is not a masterpiece in
Rome or Florence which has entire
ly escaped this deflement. The bust
Of Donatello, the sculptor, in the
Church of San Croce, has been liter
ally blackened by names and dates
in pencil marks. Even the Apollo
Belvedere at the Vatican museum
has been decorated all over the back
and down the legs with wretched
scrawls. 1t must be a qualification
to every American traveller that his
countrymen take no part in this
idiotio practice.
Occasionally the passion for scrib
bling takes a vindictive turn. Or
the wall of the topmost room in the
dome of st. Peters some one has
written In large letters, give Lu
thor, vive Jean Huss, vive Zwingli
vive Wyclif,' and SO on, giving the
names of all those who have fought
the Catholic church. Below some
one has written in Italian, "Oh
mercyr'. and thus the discussion
ends. Ordinarily n gets the i'm
preston that people who desecrat'
such places are simply stupid O.
hastily ignorant. Occasionally thu
vandalism is Napoleonic, as in tn
case of the young man who climbed
III and broke off the arm of tn
! wooden virgin in the chapel of Hugo
mont, on the battlefield of Waterloo
He went away with the relic stick
, ing out of his pocket, and those VIII
knew of his performance were S
