which Is Remembered Still.
Not long ago / heard Dr. Beale, for
merly of Johnstown, Pa, lecture upon
the flood in the Conemaugh valley.
Among other things he related was the
saving of the family dog
The doctors son carried the pet to
the attic when the rush of waters came,
and, when the household was about to
leave the wrecked building, the boy
begged to carry the dog with him.
AID, said DIR. Beale, II told him he
might try, for dog is very dear to the
heart of twelve-year-old boy"
felt peculiar force in these words,
for remembered how dear dog once
was to another twelve-year-old boy.
The first time 1 saw Rover was on
winters day when my father brought
him home and called me out to see him
| lifted the long-haired, shiny-coated
little fellow, with those almost human
eyes of his, out of the sleigh and ear

day was his slave. A shy, retiring
boy, not caring much for the society of
other children, found in this beauti-
full roly-poly puppy most congenial

All that winter Rover is my most in
innate friend. BY and by the last
SHOWS of March go hurrying down the
roadside cutters and winter is gone.
There comes more of business and less
of pastime into Rover's life. Instead of
tearing up doormats he has to chase
chickens, and the energy he formerly
used in hunting up bones is now turned
to driving cows.
When farming begins in earnest no

we are moving his interest amounts
to interference, and he is tied in the
barn to keep him away from the sharp
knives. Here he whines and tugs so at
his chain that i always leave him as
unhappy as he.
One afternoon | tie him close by the
open barn door, where he can lie in
the shade or watch us working. When

to move again. Now l see why he is
so quiet. His three feet of chain are
shortened by dozen twists to one foot,
and every struggle draws the strap
tighter about his neck. His tongue
hangs from his mouth and he gasps for
breath; his eyes are dull and filmy.
With nervous hands and heartache
| loose the strap and carry him into
the shade. He gasps, looks up at me
and ways his tail. Father brings

My father tries to quiet me, but

ribbon up to the window and trace in
through with sharp pencil.
Daintier effects may be obtained by
using moist water colors, instead Of oil
paints
After the design is finished fold the
ribbon in half and overseam it to-
gether on each side, keeping the
selvidge on the right side. If neatly
done this gives a cord effect, and is
better than making regular wrong
side seam. Make four-inch hem at
the top, and about three-quarters of an
inch from the stitching of the hem
make another stitching all around
the bag; this forms casing for
half-inch wide ribbon as a draw
ing string A yard of each of the two
colors in this narrow ribbon is neces-
sary. Use a bodkin to draw them
through the casing, one color on each
side, and finish off the ends in little
bows. In overseaming the bag together
care must be taken to leave three
quarters of an inch unsewed, Just
where the casing will come, as little
openings for the ribbon drawstring.
The advantage of bag like this is
that it does not have to be lined, as fine
satin ribbon is heavy enough to do
away with any necessity for this The
magnesia should be carefully brushed
off the wrong side of the ribbon as
soon as the painting is dry, and just be-
fore sewing the bag together.

diously Avoided.
OF all tire bodily organs which need
watchiul care in the period of their de-
veiopment, the eye stands prominent.
Yet no organ is SO often neglected or
abused.
1t is no calumny upon the modern
schoosroom, or upon the 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 a premature
breaking down of that function with
adults.
The lose 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-
tiSn of the eyes to the page before
them, and the fact that it is often nee
essary to continue the studies with
the aid of artificial light, and it is plain
that school life is full of dangers to the
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-ippointed schoolhouse. the preva-
lence of contagious diseases of the eve,
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. II is never necessary,

proper distance of the page from the

HERoIsm OF a BOY.
He Rescued Several Persons At the FstsI
of His Own Life

VI lAAs OHu LIE.
A terrible railroad accident happened
I'm HobolSen, n. j., little while ago.
An accommodation train, running too
fast in the fog, crashed into a standing
express. There was a schoolboy on the
express who had been sitting In the
rear car studying his lesson. AS the
express train slowed up a feeling of
oppression took hold of him. He sud
denly remembered hearing his grand
father once say that the rear car was
the most dangerous one in the train,
and acting on an impulse of the mo-
ment he got up and went through one
car into the third from the rear. lie
was scarcely seated when he felt the
car crumbling beneath him and found
himself entangled in mass of men
and wreckage.
Wounded and bloody, the boy extri-
Gated himself. Above the rush of es-
Gaping steam rose the agonized cries of
the unfortunates pinned beneath the
broken timbers. Men were dazed and
aghast
IAN ak! an AK shouted a shrill
voice
The schoolboy was the first togather
his wits and start the work of rescue.
With an ak he saved three or four men
before the older bystanders had begun
to think.
Then a cry of horror from another
point called an excited group of men
together. Beneath the wrecked en-
gine, amid the dropping Goals and es-
Gaping steam, was seen the figure of
man. The sight was the more sicken-
ing because the dead locomotive was
liable to topple over any instant and
crush whatever lay beneath it. There
was cry for volunteers
The conductor called; the engineer
called; but all held back. Not all; out
of the crowd came slight figure whose
clothes were torn, whose face was al
most unacceptable from blood and
SCOT, and whose hands were black from
merciful toll.
IN go! Let me go quick" cried the
schoolboy.
The crowd stood back, while a few
made an effort to stop him; but the
