The EyesiSht OF School Children,

The environment of school children,
with regard to its influence upon their
eyes, must be carefully studied. In the
structure OF the school building, as few
obstacles to vision as may DE should be
perm tied; ample illumination, whether
natural or artificial should be had from
the left side of the desks; the desks
themselves should be OF such a size as
to permit the pupils feet to rest firmly
upon the floor; they should be provided
with comfortable backs and slightly
slanted tops, the latter placed at such
distances from the ewes as to render
sight easy without the close approXima-
ton Of books; the biackboards, maps,
etc, should lie so situated as to
be readily seen; an erect style of
handwriting, less irksome to the
eve than slanting characters, should
be taught; and frequent changes
of study or intervals of inter-
mission should be secured, SO as to
avoid the harmful effects of continuous
work of some kInd.-From Defective

TWAIN'S FUNNIEST.

1t was a Denver newspaper tradition
that the funniest bit ofjournalistic work
ever done 10y Mark Twain WIS strangled
by a too friendly proof-reader. Mark
was given an assignment to write tip the
opening of a saloon-quite a noteworthy
event III those days il the Colorado
town. He thought it would be funny to
make his account Of the festivities bear
silent witness to the potency of the free
refreshments dispensed. The article be-
gan soberly enough, but soon the die
ton became misty, then the spelling
grew confused, and finally the whole
thing degenerated into a maudlin, inco-
herent eulogy of the saloon keeper. 1t
was funny. Mark read it over and
laughed until he cried. But the next
morning, when he eagerly scanned the
paper, he could not find his work. In
an obscure corner he saw a two-line
item stating that ''the Alcazar saloon
was opened with appropriate festivities
last night" That was all. He rushed
down to the Office and inquired about
his article. The maraslng editor knew
nothing about it. The city editor
couldn't tell what had become oft. The
foreman said he hadn't seen it. As
Mark was snorting about the "outrage,"
and was running about the office trying
to get track ofhis missing copy, a proof
reader slyly nudged him, and said con-
fdentially, You owe me cigar"
GLOW is that?" inquired the humorist
1--WE earned it," was the reply; II saved
your job for you last night. Maybe you
don't know how the old man here feels
about such things, but he won't have
it if he finds it out. He's fired three
men since I've been here-just that
way" Just what way" "Nhy, Just

Largest Sapphire in the World.

Denver Republican: An Idaho miner
brought a stone to the Miners bureau
which was pronounced a sapphire of
the purest water and the largest ever
seen. The gem was nearly a cube, be-
ing about one and one half inches thick,
one and one-half inches vide and two
inches long. 1t was much water-worn,
showing plainly the pebbly conforma-
ton gradually assumed by gems found
in the beds of mountain torrents, the
edges being very much rounded. This
is the first sapphire of any size dis
covered in Idaho. They are frequently
found in Montana, and some fine stones
have come from there. The owner Of
this stone is operating placer mines in
Idaho, and the stone was found in the
tailings and preserved on account of its
bright blue color. News Of the find
reached New York and an agent Of
Tiffany, after examining the stone,
offered s. 800 for it. The owner de-
cided that if it was worth that in the
rough it was probably worth much
more, and is now on his wav to London,
where he expects to realize its full
value.
The stone is aim ost perfect, the only
blemish being fracture on one side ex-
tending less than one-eighth of an inch
into the stone. Mr.. Taylor, who has a
long experience in handling gems, SAYS
that in his opinion it is the largest
known sapphire in the world, the weight
being POS carats. Sapphires are valu-
able according to their purity, perfectly
clear gems bringing high prices, the
price like that of diamonds, being in
creased per carat IN proportion to the
yyaJrht of tho stone

To any one whose interest in educa-
tlonal progress in this state has in it
the warmth Of devotion, the session Of
the National Educational Association to
be held in Milwaukee july 90 is an
event of more than ordinary import
ancc. 1t is not a gathering of educators
to discuss the technics of their work. 1t
is not professional in the restricted
sense in which that word is used when
applied to conventions of specialized
and limited functions. The purpose of
this association Is as broad as the field
of activity in which its members are
engaged. Its aim is, while enlarging
the sweep Of education, to invest in
structlon with human sympathy and
make it touch the life of the people,
thus giving TO knowledge power, moral
direction and omprehensiveness These
high ideals have developed through
honest and persistent search for the
| truth, and constitute d body or doctrine

The Winds and the Poets.

! 10 Robert Louis Stevenson, whose
! last years were passed on a nd-swept
I island of the southern seas, the raving
and the walling of the blasts were the
most fearful sounds on earth. The
hell of his fancy was not the medi-
aeval dream of literal fire and brlm-
stone; neither was it Dante's abyss of
eternal Ice; it Was a place where the
wind always blows gale
We are told that on lone, treeless
Drairies of the far west, the constant
bowling or sobbing of the blasts often
drives nervous people insane, while a
chronic dread of cyclones becomes in
some people Il sort of hvsteria destruc-
tive of all peace and comfort.
The sobbing wind is fierce and strong,
Its sigh is like i human wall"
1t tells of ships lost at sea, of trees up
rooted, of happy homes made desolate,
Of crops destroyed, of once smiling vii
lagos laid in ruins. Now with terrific
shrieks, it voices the awful drama of
human suffering; now in hollow, mock
ing whistles, it eXults in its power for
i'll oyer the hapless of men. King Lear
in his madness, goes forth to confront
the fury of the clements, which is but
an echo of the storm raging in his own
breast
. Blow. blow thou winters wind.
Thou art not so unkind
A. mems ingratitude"
sings Amiens in "As You Like"
''Perhaps the wind
Walls so in winter for the summers dead,
And all sad sounds are natures funera cries
For what has been and is not"
writes George Elliott in The Spanish
Gypsy"
There is no finer passage in Virgil
than that describing a storm at sea in
which the winds rush forth like armed
battalions and fill the earth with hur-
ri"anes. Now falling upon the sea
they stir up its lowest depths, while the
waves rise mountains high and flood
the land. Then with one quick, sud
den blast, "they seize upon the clouds
and bear heaven and Tie light of day
from the Trojan eyes"
But the winds do not always moan
one Of terror and destruction :" 1t is
an i'll wind that blows no man good"
is an ancient proverb.

Playing celestial symphonies"
writes Longfellow.
