A Saving

You may think it better tc
wait. A good many people
would. We thought they
would think so. And SO we
put a saving of several dol
dollars against that thought.
We have an idea that there
are just enough people who
think enough Of the amount
they can save by buying now,
to take away the few carriages
that remain.

READING on TRAINS.
Vacation Travellers May Do Their
Eyes Much Harm.

FROM the Buffalo Express
Yes the vacation season is hard on the
eyes" said DR.. Julius Pohlman, in answer
10 a question DIR. Pohlrnan conducted
course of lectures last year at Chautauqua
on eating and seeing, and his talk was
practically a continuation of the addresses
then.
Persons going away to rest or coming
back to work almost invariably use their
eyes while on the train II they do not read
they watch the scenery. You seldom see a
PERSON reclining comfortably-even on a
Misunderstanding no attention either TO u
book or the fence posts just outside the
window. The worst of 1t is that the books
that are sold on the trains are usually in the
poorest Of print. The paper is cheap and
thin and of a dull color-drab or gray rath-
er than white. TIE type does not show up
nearly as distinctly 1t should. But every
body knows reading should not be done on
a train in motion, and everybody reads just
the same, so why should talk? The best
lesson l can give is TO show these four
photographs. They are all of the same
group Of students. In the freshman year,
you see there were only two wearing glasses,
in the sophomore class there were more; in
the Junior still more, and in the senior year
photograph there are only two without
glasses The first year showed two with
glasses the fourth year two without. Now
there was trouble the first year somewhere
in every one of those eyes that ultimately
required glasses, but II was only the con-
tirYlIed hard work that made the defect
more noticeable. It is just so with reading

danger. l read almost constantly when

course for other people.
WI hen travelling by train and reading you

der more people are not bothered with de-
fective sight
But reading is not the only ILL., Fix
your eye on things close to the car-on flow

reading. Why will people persist In ini,,r-
ing themselves? You don't have to have

and attempting a cure but people go on
running their eyes right along for the sake
either of killing or economizing a trihe of

| that follows unwise eating. There is closer

MILLIONS OF DICE.
| They Are Made of Various Materials
and Sold in Large Numbers.
From the New York Sun.

FROM the New YORK Sun.
The bone dice used in the United States
are all imported from France, though It
may be that the bone of which they are
made came originally from this country.
They are made in manufacturing district
not far from Paris in which are produced
various articles Of bone, and also things
partly of bone, as, for instance, tooth
brushes. Bone dice are made IN eleven
sizes, from to 10, inclusive, and in each
of these sizes they are made both square
and round cornered, as are all other kinds
of dice. In all kinds of dice there are sold
OF the SQuare-cornered variety ten times
perhaps twenty times, as many as of those
made with rounded corners. Round -corner-
eo olce are often used in playing back
CANNON; they wear a board less than
square-cornered dice would and roll easier
There are made some black bone dice with
white spots, but the sale of these is com
paratfvely very limited. The great majori-
~ OF the very large number of bone dice
sold are In the form OF the familiar white
cubes with black spots
Celluloid dice, which are made in this
country, are of both opaque and transpar-
ent material. The transparent dice are
mace in saffron color, in magenta and in
green; the Opaque in imitation Of ivory.
The Imitation ivory dice are finished in
some being made with black spots and
some with spots Of blue and some with red
spsts. The spots on the various transpar-
ent dice are made white These various
kinds Of celluloid dice are made in seven
sizes
There are made in celIuloid two STYLES of
poker dice, one octahedron-shaped and con-
tanning on Its eight faces representations of
the seven, eight, nine, ten, Jack, queen,
king and ace of ordinary playing cards:
the other poker dice is cube-shaped, con-
tanning on its faces. instead of the spot
numbering from one to six as seen on COM
mon dice, representations of the ordinary
playing cards from the nine-spot TO the
ace, inclusive.
Dice are made in various sizes of yege-
table ivory, Of ivory, and of pearl; the
most costly dice are those of pearl a set
OF five of medium size would cost at retail
about $50. Some of the bone dice are
very cheap, dice of small size selling at re-
tail for cent apiece, or 10 cents a dozen
A considerable number of dice of one kind
and another are sold for use in the house
hold. All cabinets made to hold cards and
counters and so on have a compartment for
dice, which are part of the equipment and
many dice for such use are sold separatelv
Take ii altogether, the CONSUMPTION Of
dice in this country amounts to millions am
nually.

AMERICAN SOLDIERS.
What the Tokyo Daily Herald Says
of Them.


United States Minister Buck of Tokyo
Japan, has sent to the Department of State
the following clipping from the Tokyo
Japan, Daily Herald of July 10, which pays
a just conn liment to the American soldiers
which will be gratefully read by millions of
our people, and in whose estimation the
Japanese will be elevated because of their
appreciation of the elements that go to
make I'D the splendid character Of our SOL
diers:
For the last few days we have had in
Yokohama nearly 5000 American volun-
teers, who have completed their term of
service in the Philippines and are now
homeward bound They are the Nebraska
and Utah regiments on board the Hancock
and the Pennsylvania regiments on board
the Senator Many remarks have been
made about the general appearance of these
men, who coming asuthey do from hard
fighting against the iFilipinos-and the
Nebraska and Utah regiments have done
some of the severest Nightingale not always
present the spotless purity of appearance
Usual in soldiers on parade. They are near
ly all big men. some, IN TACT, most OF whom,
showing clear traces Of the campaigning
and mental worry to which they have been
subjected, in their sunburnt skins and some
what cadaverous cheeks. But one thing is
|
emplary behavior of this large number of
| men on shore leave. a few thousand SOL
ders are a small army, and nobody who
has watched them. can have failed to re-
mark, as they roam over the town. their
! quiet and friendly ldehreanor toward jap
anese and foreigners alike and the entire
| absence of drunkenness, among their ranks.
| The police, on whom the brunt of keeping
order devolves in the first instance, report
both in Nagasaki and here-that they have
not had a single case Of refractory be-
| havior or intoxication to deal with. Large
numbers Of these volunteers have made the
Grand Hotel their headquarters, and there
they can be seen at leisure. All of them
seem to have money to burn" for they
| have bought curios and souvenirs of Yoko-
hama in large quantities. And this is not
| to be wondered at. aside from the fact that
| the American soldier is the best paid soldier
| in the world, we find that their ranks are
not made up of vagabonds, who were out
| of a job in the, first place, and took the
| chance to get employment. but of intelligent
men, among whom are bankers, lawyers
| merchants, farmers. mechanics &C., &C.
who left their homes vi hen the country
called for volunteers to fight for its cause
| And these men have done honor to their
country and to their flag. They have shown
| that gentlemen can be fighters, and are
proving now that fighters can be gentle.

the vicinity of washington and especially

the vicinity of Washington and especially
the favorite hunting grounds in the East
ern branch are unusually luXuriant This
growth will make progress for pushers of
skiffs rather difficult, but it assures plenty
: of birds. There are already number of
blackbirds on the Eastern branch marshes,
and piover have been noticed frequently of
late on the meadows contiguous thereto.
Experienced gunners do not expect to find
as many reedies and ortolan on the
marshes on the opening day this year as
the opening days In the past, because
the big flights OF both species come later
towards the close Of August and the open
ing of September, but the fact that there
will be a full moon August 20, and accom-
panying good tides, encourages a belief
that fair sport will be enjoyed from the
very beginning 1t Is a Well-known fact of
natural history that migratory birds travel
most extensively at the full of the moon.
Labor Day Sport.
The new law, which provides that shoot
ing shall be allowed only on Tuesdays,
siderable dissatisfaction among the work.
iLgmen who are fond OF the sport on the
marshes, because Labor day. which has
been their only opportunity heretofore to
enjoy shooting, falls on Monday, Septem-.
her A. The law, however, was not intended
as a barrier to sport, and there is no doubt
that Labor day will find the marshes full
of gunncrs, and that they need not trouble
themselves about interference or molesta-
ton. On other occasions, however. it can
be taken for a certainty that the law will
be enforced vigorously and without favor.
