Abuse of the Eyesight.

In the waiting room of an up town

persons trying to read. The windows
were draped with heavy lace curtains,

was very subdued twilight. Finally u

Stories OF prinssp.

Mr.. Valentine Prinsep, the well
known English artist, is very jolly
Briton indeed, and is fond of telling
amusing stories about himself and his
profession. Even his name proves a
source of mirth, and he likes to relate
the plumbers its oddity has occasioned.
Once, when going to dine at n fashion
able mansion, he was accosted by the
butler:
what name, STRIP
''Prinsep."
Great was the big artists amusement
when he was then announced loudly
and pompously as Prince Hepp
Mr.. Prinsep's favorite anecdote is one
often told, but always good, of which
he claims to be the original narrator.

The P1Ow.

Flowing was undoubtedly first done
with Il forled stick, the long arm being
harnesscd, in some primitive way, to an
OK or team of oxen, and the short arm
pointed for the purpose of penetrating
the ground. The pillow is one of the old
est of agricultural implements, and it
is curious fact that in oriental coun-
tries the same kind of pillow is used now
as was described by the writers of 2, 200
years ago. The pillow represented on the
Egyptian monuments of 5000 b. G..
may be seen in the valley of the Nile
today. Our Patent Office has over 10, 600
models of plows. In Egypt, Syria and
India there is but one, and that the one
which has been in use for thousands of
years. The plow described by Virgil,
3 Il. c., is i'll use in many country dis
tricts of Italy today. In 1913 patents
were taken out by David Ramsay and
Thomas Wildgoose for "engines to pillow
grounds, whether inland or upland. "
In the Scriptures blowing with differ
ent kinds Of animals hitched together
was forbidden on account of the cruelty
involved by the unequal draft imposed
upon animals of different sizes working
III the same harness. In China the pillow
rs sacred implement, and models are
consccrated in the temples of the gods.
As early as lS49 steam plows were pat
ented in the United States.
