we move on the east en- masse next year
and give an exhibition IN New York.
Success there would prove to our own
people what the outsiders have already
found out. In color these examples cam
not be matched i'll America. l some,
times think this comes from the atmo-
sphere of arr In which the young people
pass their days. They cannot but be in

An Ideal China Closet.

1t should be built between the dining
room and the kitchen, so that it can be
entered unobserved when guests are nj
table.
The shelves should not be more than
fourteen inches wide and about nine
teen inches apart. Where they are
wider than this the tendency is to pile
too many dishes upon them, aud they
are apt to give way. There is no
reason why we should cling to tradition
and these shelves with white paper
or muslin. Why should not corrugated
rubber, such as has already found its
way at the side of kitchen sinks, be in
troducedp There is a slight odor about
this material, but china does not take
it, and the chances of dishes slipping
or breaking by failing upon the shelf
would be decreased fifty per cent.
A serviceable device for use when
plates are stood OH end is to use a rope
instead of a cleat to hold them, and to
fasten it at the corners and in the centre
by double-headed tacks driven down
tightly into the shelves. Being slightly
yielding, the plate Is less apt to fall
over from a sudden Jar or slight blow.

cabinets are built in the dining-room
for this purpose. The narrow side
shelves found in most china-closets are
best for glasses. All drinking-glasscs
should be arranged in groups, and far
enough apart SO that there will be no
confusion or mistake ia bringing them
out when needed.
Where plates and saucers are piled

COMMON DANGERS TO THE EYES.
Reading in thu Train Is One of the Worst
of Them.

An eminent oculist, a V the Reading
Times, declares that typewriting has an
injurious effect on the eyes.
The operator is Obliged to glance in
c~essantly back and forth from the key
board to the shorthand notes, and this
is u muscular exercise of the most IA
tiguing sort. For this reason, the ocu-
list urges, it is desirable for t%ypewriters
to cultivate a familiarity with the key
board similar to that possessed by the
accomplished pianist with the keyboard
necessary to look at the keys Us little as
possible.
While the injury that may result to
the eyes of Il hard-working typewritist
who is not sure of her figures and her
keys is not to be regarded too lightly. it
Is not likely to be near as serious as that
resulting from the practice INDUCED in
by so many in these days of railroad
travel of persistent reading on trains.
This practice is most trying on those
delicate muscles that regulate the shape
of the eyes lenses and so affect the To-
c%alization of the organ. The danger is
greatest, of course, on those railroads
whose ballasting is imperfect and whose
rails are roughly laid, producing much
jalring and consequent rapid changing
of the distance between the eyes and
the paper.
In some cases the eyes of a victim Of
the railroad reading habit are SO af.
fectcd as to focus at different distances,
and then his sufferings are most acute,
and though much relief may be af-
fordcd by tho treatment of q skilled
practitioner, nothing but n discontinue
ance of the habit will afford a perfect
cure.
In the case of a person who suffered
tortures for two or three years from
eye disorder due TO train reading,
neither rest nor professional skill avail
ed until by accident the yellow window
shades in the office in which he was
employed were removed, when he was
able Mt once to work with greatly in
creased ease and comfort, aud in a few
months was entirely cured.

She sleeps but to kiss. in dreaming,
Little lips, little hands, little feet,
And her soul is great with the seeming

God smiles on a souls gray sadness
As she. at the small alarms;
All life and all death; all gladness
She holds in the bend of her arms.
She wakes in the dawns that follow;
She shrieks for the wild unrest
OF her arms poor desolrte hollow;
The ache of her desolate breast.

his experiments are drawn the folicGy-
