them and took it all in good part, until one
day an old weather beaten salt, u triio
without the inner circle of friendship,
mado bold to offer Il suggestion.
"lf you want to give the parrot more
freedom" he said, "why don't yuu anchor
him to n chain SO he can fly around in.

For minute there was silence. Then
thu old sailor spoke, and there was wrath
in his voice.

Work by Artificial Light,

Many persons experience great fatigue
in working and reading by artificial light.
Some attention has been given to this sub.
ject, especially in view of reading and
study, and the type, paper and illumira-
ton most favorable to comfort and health.
White light is recommended for all artifi-
cial illumination, Ono should never read
at lower degree of light than ordinary
daylight. Very low intensiticS cause eye
strain and weakness, which may result in
exceedingly severe and even dangerous
mental and physical conditions. 1t is now
an established fact that epilepsy is sono-
times caused by eye strnin. There are also
many other maladics that arc primarily
caused and greatly aggravated by bad
light whilo using the eyes. Some authorl-
ties recommend white paper. Others, not
ably experienced journalists insist that
straw colored paper and black ink arc less
taxing to the eyes than white paper

thatit was warm enough for straw hat,
and accordingly, put on one, regardless of
all dictates Of fashion to the contrary.
Consequently he was the observed Of all
observers as he strolled up Market street
with a wide brimmed straw hat, decorat-

He was we'll aware OF the fact that every

Gus messenger boy even went as far as to
sing that old ditty, 'twhere did you get

surroundings. However, the climax was
reached when he met friend at Fourth
and Market streets. The latter instead Of
exchanging the usual greetings, merely
stared at him and with "Well, I'll be
id" walked off and left the season forcer
to trudge his way alone to his hotel.
