THE YOUTHS COMPANION is probably
the only periodical in the world 72 years
of age, whose first subscriber is still living
and still a constant reader of the paper.
The subscriber who enjoys this unique
distinction is Mrs. Hannah NJ. Parsons, of
Brooklyn, n. Y, now in her S5th year.
She was the little sister of friend of Ma
thaniel Willis. father of y. p. Willis, the
poet, and founder of THE YOUTHS CON-
PANIoN. When Mr.. Willis had resolved
upon publishing paper for young peo-
pie, his friend had him put down his sis
ter's name as the first subscriber. The
CoMPANIoN's first issue was dated April
IL, 1927, and for more than 10 years this
first subscriber has continued to read and
enjoy it. The volume for 1899 will be the
best THE COMPANION has ever published.

Asylum Barn Burned.
The barn on the premises of the
state hospital for the insane, in Colum'
bia, together with eight mules and q
mare, and lot of provender, was
burned at about 2 o'clock Wednesday

Fire In Columbia.
Columbia had destructive fire Sun
day night. The Marion Street Metho.

niture was saved. There was $4,000
insurance on the church and S1,S0C
on the parsonage. The congregation
will rebuild at once. The origin oi
the fire is unknown.
Two Brigades at Greenville.
The war department has changed
it's plans with reference to the encamp'
ment of brigade of soldiers at Span
tanburg, and has ordered the brigade
to Greenyille instead, making two bri
gades at the latter city. The Spar.
tanburg people are not much worried
over the matter, as they have about
decided that not much advantage
would be derived from the troops
anyway.
First Regiment Appointments.
Governor Ellerbe has appointed
Major Marcus B. Stokes to succeed
Lieutenant Colonel Tillman, appoint.

Senator Tillman said to them that he
would do all in his power to have the
regiment retained in the service, provi.

otherwise he would do nothing. This
means that the men will vote on the
question but should they decide that
they want to stay in by no means fol

but should Senator Tillman pull his
"rabbit foot" on the war department
the regiment would likely be retained
under the circumstances.

Tired Eyes,

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina or seeing
portion of the eye is fatigued, but such
is not the case, as the retina hardly
ever gets tired. The fatigue is in the
inner and outer muscle attached to the
eyeball, and the muscle of accommoda-
ton which surrounds the lens of the
eye. When near object is to be looked
at, this muscle relaxes and allows the
lens to thicken, increasing it's refrac-
tive power. The inner and outer
muscles are used in covering the eye
on the object to be looked at, the inner
one being especially used when near
object is looked at. It is in the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue is
felt, and relief is secured temporarily
by closing the eyes, or gazing at far dis
tant objects. The usual Indication of
strain is redness of the rim of the
eyelid, betokening q congested state of
the inner surgace, accompanied with
some pain. Sometimes this WEAKNESS
indicates the need of glasses rightly
adapted to the person, and in other
cases the true remedy is to massage the
eye and it's surroundings as far as may
be with the hand wet in cold water.-N.

wEioHry MAIL CLERK.
Footprints Worn in the Floor Where
He stood Forty Years.

Footprints Worn In the Floor Where
He stood Forty Years.
There has just been placed in the
postal museum at Washington an
oddity composed of five planks from
the flooring of the old Baltimore post
office. Imprinted in the wood are the
impressions of two shoes. The impress
sicns are as perfect as though made
in plaster paris, and were made by the
shoes of mail distributor, who stood
in the same spot day after day for 40
wears, until his feet had worn through
the boards.
The name of the man could not be
learned, as he has now left the post
office in Baltimore. He came there,
however, ABOUT 45 years ago, and soon
afterward became a mail distributor.
He was compelled by the exigencies of
the situation and on account OF the
pressure for space to have his pigeon
holes ranged ABOUT him in semicircu-
lar form.
He was all hedgsd in by the desks,
and SO had neither the opportunity nor
the inclination to move about much.
The man weighed when he entered the
service about 200 pounds, and as he got
no exercise while in the office, and little
outside, he increased in weight until, it
is said, that he tipped the beam at 300
pounds.
He soon found that by standing in a
particular spot, with his heels about
eight or ten inches apart, and his toes
turned well outward, he could throw
his mail into any of the pigeon-holes
desired with less effort than by step
ping from side to side, and practice
made him perfect in this operation.
The planks are one inch thick, and
through one of them hole is worn, un-
derneath the ball of the foot, just as
though the plank was made Of leather.
