CHilDREN'S EYES.
Every Source of Irritation Must BE Stu
diously Avoided.

diously Avoided.
OF oil the bodily organs which need
watchful care In the period Of their de-
velopment, the eye stands preeminent,
Yet no organ Is so often neglected or
abused.
1t is no calumny upon the modern
school-room, or upon tho methods
which are employed there, to say that
they are In large measure responsible
for the many evidences which we meet
Of an impaired and defective eyesight
among the young, and premature
breaking down Of that function with
adults.
The olose confinement of the student
undermines his general health, and SO
renders every organ liable to succumb
under any special strain. Add to this
the extra labor required of all the
organs of the head, the close applica-
tion Of the eyes to the page before
them, and the fact that 1t Is often nec-
essary to continue the studies with
the aid of artificial light, and 1t is plain
that school life is full Of dangers to tho
eyesight Of the young child.
And If this is not enough to con-
vince us, we may be reminded of the
unhygienic surroundings Of even the
best-appointed schoolhouse, the preva-
lence Of contagious diseases of the eye,
and the great liability Of infection
through the various pernicious habits
OF the average school child.
No young child should be permitted
to pursue his studies to protracted
degree by lamplight. We may turn
his eyes from the light, and even pro-
vide shades for them, and still they
will be affected. 1t Is never necessary,
before ones organs are well developed,
to endeavor to prolong the twelve or
fifteen hours of daylight.
instruction to the child as to the
manner in which he should hold his
book while reading or writing is also
essential. This includes not only tho
proper distance Of the page from the
face, but the attitude Of the body as a
whole. 1t is easy to establish at an
early period predisposition to near
sightedness, and even displacement Of
the eyeball itself.
In fact, every source Of irritation
should be avoided, even, If necessary,
to complete withdrawal of the child
from his studies. Companion.

SOMETHING ABOUT GOLF.
Scotch Game Which Is Becoming
Popular in Our Country.

A Scotch Game Which Is Becoming
Popular In Our Country.
The game of golf, which has been
played In Scotland for centuries, is
now becoming popular in the United
States The object of the game is to
knock ball over a course prepared
for the purpose In q less number Of
strokes than your antagonist. At
certain intervals there are holes into
which the ball must be knocked. After
1t has been placed in one of these
holes, the player takes it out, and plac-
ing it upon little handful of earth,
called "tee," drives it in the dirse-
tion of the next hole.
The object of a 'drive" generally is
to send the ball as far as possible. The
player rests the weight of the body on
the left foot, which is or d jne with
the ball. The right foos is placed
diagonally back of the left at an easy
bracing distance. The body is kept
stationary and is bent well forward SO
that when the ball is struck the hands
are little above and In front of the
left knee. The driver" the club used
In making q "drive," is long, rather
flexible stick, much like whip-stocl,
except that it is bent upward and
broadened at the end where the ball is
struck The player swings this well
up over the right shoulder two or
three times just to get his hand in and
produce an effect, does little wrist
motion to see that the muscles of his
forearm are all right, looks In the d.

Woman, who has groaned and fretted
for many years past beneath the

costume which ought to satisfy her.
The skirt is made Of waterproof covert
cloth or Of waterproof cheviot. Instead
of the long, heavy, warm garment
which they were accustomed to
wear, women wear with this a water

is quite long, and falls well below the

WISDOM OF GEESE,
They Are by No Means As Foolish As
They Arc Represented.


Somebody who is indignant that the
name of the goose should be n synonym
for folly, has collected stories from all
quarters to illustrate the true wisdom
and dignity of geese. There are many
varieties of wild geese, and whether
they are all equally nice and dignifled
the book does not say. Still it is true
that the bird Is not coward, and does
not hesitate to attack birds much big
ger than himself. The domestic goose
Is too web known to need description
of his person or habits, and most of the
stories of this historian of geese are so
old that you would hardly care to re-
call them here.
One or two stories seem somewhat
newer. In Richmond park, in England,
where many geese are kept, the nests
of the setting geese were often de-
stroyed by water rats. After consider
alton Of the matter, the geese began to
build nests up in the trees, instead Of
upon the ground. There they Matched
out their families and brought their
children-not up, but down carefully
to the ground, one by one, under their
wings. Such intelligence as this is
enough to redeem the name Of the
goose forever.
The goose is certainly adignifled bird
In appearance. Whatever the haste of
his gait, even when driven along, he
never loses his expression of grandeur
and Importance. 1t could not have
been goose who suggested that he
was silly. If you ever looked q goose
firmly In the eye, you would know that
he was much tooproud to imagine such
q thin1.

We of the Leader yield to none in rev.
erence for the flag of this nation. 1t
covers a people of cosmopolite origin,
who have become great through the
saving and serving grace of the free in
stitutions it symbolizes. We bow our
heads to it wherever it floats, feeling
sincerely that it stands for, next after
God, the source of all the many blessings
that, as a people, we have to be thank
full for
Yet we cannot bring ourselves to look
with hatred upon the flags of other ma
tions The emblem of France, rich with
the same colors that beautify our own
emblem, recalls Lafayette and compels
the reflection that but for him and other
noble souls among his fellow country
men, Yorktown might have been post
poned for many years. The green flag
of Erin brings the eloquence of Patrick
Henry to memory; the German colors
remind us of Baron Steuben; the flag Of
Poland revives recollections of the noble
heroism of Pulaski. Even England's
flag suggests that our system of govern
mcnt had its origin in the contest for
greater liberties that men who lived I'M
der it waged with glorious might and it
is but the ripened fruit from the tree
they cultivated.
We look upon display of the flags of
all nations, in their rainbow effulgence,
and we see the standards of the more or
less great countries from whose sons the
richest and the poorest, the wisest and
the most unwiSe of us, have sprung
They represent, as it were, the univer-
sal fatherland, and we can have no hate
in our hearts for them, or for the people
who still fight for them.
On the other hand, we know Of many
who pray loudly for the flag of this
country with their mouths, but are
constantly charging their hearts and
minds with the conception and cultiva-
4ion of schemes to betray it's most
sacred institutions. We reverence the
bible, but that sacred book has been
quoted in support of many of the most
outrageous wrongs and most awful
barbarities of which history has any
record. A man may carry prayer
book constantly in his pocket and never
pray, and he may have the stars and
stripes flying eternally from his gable
and be not enough patriot or an honest
man to be entrusted with a constable
ship.
1t is not exhibition of the flag that
constitutes patriotism, but devotion to
the principles it testifies to. 1t is not
hatred of other flags that makes the
honorable citizen in peace or the brave
soldier in war, but an understanding of
and the willingness to make sacrifices
for the political creeds of which it is the
token.
Put the American flag foremost upon
all occasions. Allow no one to give it
insult or in any way to belittle it. But
we cannot see that the repression
by statute of the display of other flags,
upon occasions that offer no hint of
hostility to our own, will make us one
bit more reliable as people, or greater
as a country; whereas the avoidance of
such enactments may always be accept
ed as in sense significant of our
adherence to that greatest and broadest
and best of all faths-the universal
Fatherhood of God and Brotherhood of

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Washington, March Is, 1895.
Attorney General Olney may or may
not be personally opposed to an income
tax, but If he is opposed it is certainly
not upon constitutional grounds, or he
could not have made the great and mas
terly argument he did this week, before
the supreme court, in favor of the con-
stitutional right of congress to impose
an income tax. Mr.. Olney is no orator,
in the popular conception of the word,
but there was confidence in the tone
in which he talked in plain, matter of
fact, straightforward-way to the court,
showing that decision against the con-
stitutionality of the income tax would
reverse no less than five previous de-
cisions of the supreme court, which was
far more convincing to ordinary minds
than the tricks of oratory resorted to by
some of his opponents. The supreme
court took a two weeks recess today, in
order to prepare decisions in this and
other important cases. . Should the de-
cision be against sthe income tax the
treasury would be very much embarrass-
ed on account of the consequent loss of
revenue, and an early extra session of
congress might have to be called. AL
ready nearly 100000 income tax has
been paid into the treasury.

WHY / CELEBRATE THE DAY.

lThe following reply of an Irish exile to 6
nd is published today at the request
eVeral readers.
silly question tits you ask me
Why celebrate the day?
l, an exile from an island
Full three thousand miles away,
Finding here home and welcome,
Swearing fealty and defense
10 the starry flag of freedom
And forever gone from thence
Why should l, you wondering ask me,
Nov manhood's love maintain
For land l left in boyhood,
And may never see again?
Friend, that island is my mother,
FROM her fertile soil sprang;
generously my youth she nurtured
And my lullaby she sang.
Mark me well, that mans a william,
Mean and cold as clod of earth,
In whose heart there's no affection
For the land that gave him birth.
III, OF it, no tender memories
Up before his vision swim,
Then the land that gives him shelter
Can expect no love of him.
'Ils n light ana thoughless question
Why love the dear old sod
Where my eyes first looked to heaven
And my lightsome feet first trod?
Must man, because he marries,
Cease to love and venerate
In his heart, the dear old mother
Sitting sad and desolate?
Trust me, friend, the better husband
Always is the better son;
Heaven protect the maiden from him,
Who, for mother, love has none.
Well love this broad and noble
Land with love as pure us gold,
None the less because my spirit
Visits, now and then, the old!
Freely would grasp the sabre,
Rally round the flag of stars,
No less ready for the reason
That I'd shiver Irelands bars!
Mingled in the manly bosom
Is the love for mother-wife-
SO my love for both lands mingles
In the current of my life.
Could you doubt our Irish fealty?
Call the muster of your dead;
Find field in all your history
Where no Irish heroes bled-
on your flag, that ne'er must fade,
From the days of Wayne and Moylan
Down to Meagher's Green Brigade.
Ours nature large and lavish,
Generous as our mother land,
No cold shallow stream that barely
Covers selfish interests sand
And you ask the thoughtless question
Why celebrate the day2
Friend ! celebrate no triumph
Won in battles bloody fray
Triumph of one kingly despot
Over another, at the cost
OF n hecatomb of heroes,
And, perhaps, of freedom lostl
Nor victory ignoble
Of one faction, class or creed,
While strife-distracted nation
Wept the fratricidal deed!
'Tis not these my memory hallows;
Friend, it is sacred cause
'Tis the bringing to people
Christian light and love and laws;
Gentle Patrick the Apostle
Bore no flaming battle brand,
In his heart of peace the gospel
And a shamrock in his handl
These the weapons that he welded,
Ireland bowed to Heavens sway,
Who'd object but british bigots
If we celebrate his day?
Far I've left my mother country,
Made this fair young land my bride,
Both I'll ever love and cherish
And defend, whate'er betide!
From her cliffs let Erin beckon
And hasten to her aid,
Let caitiff strike Columbia
From its scabbard leaps the blade!
Ha! l note your eyes approval,
With my tenets you agree;
Come, thou brave and true Columbia,
Come and celebrate with me!

Whara ara tha Blue Birds?

Mr.. William Cork said to our re-
porter week or so since that the
birds which used to sing in the trees
near his home were gone; that there
were no jay-birds even, anu he was
struck with the absence Of all kinds Of
birds around his place.
On Friday Major Woodward asked
Mr.. Crawford, who lives north Of Du-
Bosses old store, if he had seen any
blue-birds this year. He replied that
he had not. The Major thinks that
worms and caterpillars will be bsd on
crops and vegetation this year; as the
severe cold weather killed so many
birds the worms and other insects will
prey on our gardens and field crops.
We hope he is mistaken, but his propo-
sition is very reasonable
