Allen II. Norton of this town Is the
owner OF farm over the state line, in
Massachusetts. For many years Mr.
Norton has had on the farm n dog OF
cocker spaniel and hound breed, which
has been of considerable use about the
place and also good hunter Of coons
and other game: but the dog is now l.
years old. minus some Of his teeth
and getting feeble. So it was though,
best to shoot 1t.
Consequently. about two weeks ago
the man in charge of the farm took the
dog out in the lots to dispose OF II. He
laid his gun on the ground and pro.

while the faithful animal lay beside
the implement intended soon to end its
life, and watched the hole In the
ground gradually grow deeper. The

Straw berries All tho Year,

At Iraputo on the Mexican Central
railroad strawberries and choice ones,
too, are picked every day in the open
air. The season is continuous, the crop
perpetual. In recognition of this the
through express over the Mexican Gen.
trail is called the strawberry Limited -
the train, not the fruit, being limited.
These Mexican Strawberries are light
oolored. sweet and delicate. They are
sold at the station by the natives, who
peddle large baskets Of them, for 25
cents, Mexicain money, equivalent to
1914 cents. The Mexican berry has the
same buoyancy as the American. The
larger and ripper the fruit, the lighter II
Is; and. as a consequence, the top OF
the basket has all the choicest speci.
mems. This sort OF thing, thousands ol
miles from home, impresses upon the
weary traveller new sense OF the like.

Care Of the Eyes.

Avoid "squinting"
Shade the eyes from the full glare
of sunlight.
When the eyes are weak, sleep all
that is possible.
Keep soap and all patent eye wash
es out Of the eyes.
AS you value your sight, avoid all
quack eye doctors.
Never read or use the eyes for fine
work during twilight.
Whenever an eye is injured, call in
an experienced oculist at once.
Never expose the eyes needlessly to
dust or flying particles of any kind.
Have an abundance of good, steady
light for any work you may have on
hand.
Let the light come to your eyes
from one side or from above, and not
from in front.
Do not work in a poor light, and
avoid glaring light, as it may be as
bad as TOO little light.
Do not use a flickering light for
reading or sewing. Use lamp with
large burner, and use good oil.

The report of the Inspection stirrs

Brunswick. Aug 1S-The report of the
Wilmington officers on the late lamented
naval reserve encampment held on st.
Simon Island, as given in the Morning
News to-day, has been a talk-raiser in
Brunswick. The torpedo division are
rather sore. They turned out creditably
good numbers each day stood guard duty
like veterans and sacrificed all the com
forts of home during camp only to be in
cluded in the general mark for lax work
The Brunswick divisions will not be dis
banded. This report has stirred them to
the depths and they are going TO work to
redeem themselves at the next encamp-
ment. Lieut.. Aiken, senior officer of the
naval battalion, thinks a great injustice
has been done the reserves and the Bruins
wick divisions in particular
The Brunswick officers entertain no ILL
feelings against the Savannah men as to
cause chickering's.
The delay of the reserves in reporting
for drill on the Wilmington was due to
the delay of the tents in arriving. Pend
ing their arrival, it was necessary to
camp all the militia on board the Pas
sale They were taken off to strike camp
on the day they were ordered on the Will
mington. 1t was impossible to erect tents
and then get to the Wilmington on the
time named.
The condition of the Passaic has been
teufold improved since the Brunswick re-
serves got her. They have ex-
pended 500 in paints, ropes
and improvements on her without
one cent aid from the state or national
government When the board from the
Wilmington inspected the Passaic it was
just after all the four divisions had been
accommodated with food and lodging
aboard her while waiting for the tents to
arrive. Due to such unusual circumstances
it was impossible to have the vessel in the
apple-pie order that usually prevails.
There have been repeated drills on board
both with boats and exercises. The Pas
sale has been visited daily by an officer
for inspection. Brunswick is able to sup
port two divisions and VIII do so creditably.
