Texas Wild Horses.

I think it was in Swisher county that
/ saw wild horses for the first time.
There were 80 in the bunch. 1 was told
by a herder that the cattlemen were in
the habit of shooting the stations. They
have ugly tempers and sometimes at
tack and kill the stock horses. When |
saw the wild horses for the first time, it
gave me a thrill of delight. l remem-
bered the pictures in the biographies l
studied in when | went to school in Vir-
ginia Of Texans throwing the lasso and
the mustangs of the plains being sub
dued and converted into amiable crea-
lures, suitable for family purposes. l
give it as my opinion that the only safe
wild horse is a dead one. Those I saw
were genuine descendants of the Cortez
stock, which began roaming in the ear
ly days of the conquest and multiplied,
crossing the Rio Grande and spreading
over the country from the gulf of Mex
leo to the Pacific ocean. We had a
strong feldglass in our outfit, and,
mounting a small knoll which a native
called ''the mountain" I took a look at
the herd. The leader was guarding the
mares and colts, just as the books say
they do. We approached within a half
mile of the herd and could make out
their color pretty we'll. There was a
pretty white mare in the bunch which 1
wanted. We chased them several miles,
but they got safely off, and all the salts
faction I had is that [ saw real wild
horses, not horses gone wild, but the
original stock which for several centu-
ries had been wholly free from the
dominion of man.-Dallas News.

Taking Care of the Eyes.

An eye expert ays:"Don't read while
you are travelling, but if you will read,
let it be books or newspapers with the
largest type you can get hold of. Read
ing in a car in motion is also much cas-
Ter and less injurious if a large card or
an envelope be held just under each line
you are reading and moved down as
each line is read" The use of tinted
writing papers is very beneficial to the
eyes, but the colors chosen should be
gray, neutral tint or blush green. Red
dish brown, pink, yellow or strongly
yellowish green should be avoided.
Those who suffer in any way from i'm
paired vision and have much writing to
do should use the typewriter. The
writer can lean back in a chair and
change from one position to another
without ceasing to work, and there is
none of the cramping effects upon diff
fe1ent sets of muscles inseparable from
ordinary writing. Looking for any
length of time through wire gauze
blinds is injurious to the sight.
An oculist tells Of a police detective

shocking condition. He had nearly
blinded himself by looking through such
blinds for several weeks together. La
dies wells, when thick, frequently injure
the sight, especially when of the dot
pattern. The desirability of keeping the
eyes cool is urged. 1t is a good plan to
battle the eyes closed every morning
with moderately cold water. The con-
slant practice of this habit tends to
strengthen and preserve the sight. But
if the eyes are actually in1amed, water
of the same temperature as the air in
very cold weather may increase the in
fammation, and tepid water will, under
such circumstances, be most beneficial.
Slight inflammation in the eyes may be
relieved By bathing them with cold or
nearly cold tea OF the invaluable bo-
racic acid and camphor eyewater, which

of q Verdict to Render.
The case of John II. Adrians against
Fanny B. F. johnson, an action for
decree for costs, was tried before Justice
s. B. Church and jury yesterday after
noon, at his office, en- F street, between
Ninth and Tenth. Adrians claimed to
have q contract with the defendant that
she was to reimburse him for certain costs
which might be decreed against him In an
equity suit and which he might be COM
PEELED to pay; that his property had to
be sold, but admitted that the sale had
not fiually been ratified.
He also claimed other money, about
5000, for other costs ad1udged against
bin in the court Of appeals in resisting
a former case.
Judge Church, after hearing the tcst-
mony addtced and arguments OF counsel.
instructed the jury to bring in verdict
for the defendant.
This is q new action for, q justice OF
the peace to take, for 1t has always been
held that justice had no power TO IN
struct jury in questions Of law, but that
the jury were Judges OF both law and
fact. Justice Church refused to be bound
by the older decisions, holding that q
Justice of the peace has the same right
to instruct the jury as any other court,
that the justice should rule in questions
of law and the jury on questions Of fact
