TAKE CARE OF THE EYES.

Don't think because you have good eyes
they will bear all kinds of abuse.
Don't use the eyes continually at close
work, without occasionally resting them
by looking off into the distance.
Don't hold the book nearer than Is nee
essary for clear, sharp vision.
Don't make practice OF reading type
too small 10 be seen readily at 10 Inches.
Don't attempt TO read In car or other
jolting vehicle. 1t Is a strain on the dl-
rectihg muscles of the eye.
Don't read while lying down. IL causes
an unusual strain on some of the exter-
nal or directing muscles.
Don't read when very sleepy. as the
accommodation and convergence are nat
urally relaxed and the extra EFFORT nee
essary to force the unruly members TO
work may be shown by a congestion of
the blood vessels of the eyeball.
Don't read facing the light.
Don't read I'm the twilight. or In badly
lighted rooms.-Health Journal.

REV. JEE GAM.
Cusy Life OF Chinaman Minister Ia Sal
Francisco.

Rev. Jee Gam is quite a power IL
San Francisco. He has been q mis-
sionary there for the American Mis-
sionary Society for twcnty-nine years
and has been engaged in most i'm
portant work in connection with his
charge. Aside from those labors, he Is
official court interpreter in the San
Francisco courts, and is in all q very
busy man at home. Rev. Gam loooks
like any one Of the many Cinnamon
one high meet in q days walk. He
wears broad, coarse shoes, the same
wide-cut black trousers and blue
blouS that marks his nationality,
showing that even If he Is Christian
and reverend there is nothing Of the
freak about this distinguished China
man. There is scarcely trace Of d.
alect in his conversation and he uses
the choicest Of language.
Talking recently to some interested
American, he said:
II think the time has come when the
prejudice so long standing against my
race is beginning to die away. This
is especially so in places where the
Chinese are more numerous. For in.
stance, there is much less feeling in
California than there is in the East
ern cities, where there are fewer Chi
namen. AS we gradually work into
the public ways, and are more met
with, we become q part of the country,
and Of late there have been more rap
Id strides than ever before in the ad.
vancement of good feeling for US.
"This good feeling reached its height
last year, when the Chinese people
were invited to participate in the
Fourth Of July celebration in San
Francisco. They responded SO well
that the public press came out the day
afterward and said the Chinese had
given the. best display of any part Of
the programme. We are an easy peo-
pie to get along with when we are un-
derstood, and the American people are
beginning to understand us. In San
Francisco we are necessity, and !
do not know how that city could get
along without us now.
"Of course, in religious matters the
Chinese are hard to change. We are o
race that sticks to tradition very close.
ly, but when we do change we are
firm in our beliefs and can be depend.
ed upon. think those who are not
prejudiced, and who have lived among
us in this country, will say that on
the average we make good citizens.
Of course we like this country, else
We would not remain here. That
speaks louder than any words could
Of our liking for the United States.
Perhaps we progress slowly, but
when we do there are no people who
can show as much progress as we do.
The history Of our own country proves
that"

Our Feet Growing Larger.

Shoemakers and haberdashers who
cater to the wants of the elite assert
that their patrons this season demand
hosiery and shoes averaging from one
half TO one and hulf sizes larger
than they did five years ago. The
majority OF the dealers believe that
the average length and breadth of
mems feet have been steadily increas-
ing since the wane of the fashion
which demanded a pointed toe and
tight fitting shoe.
This they explain by saying that the
effect OF the style in vogue six years
ago was to cramp and distort the nat
ural development of the feet. When
the style changed and comfort became
the criterion of fashion nature again
exerted itself. Feet which had become
distorted during the reign of the mar
row shoe and pointed toe slowly be.
gan to broaden and adapt themselves
to their new surroundings.
The change, being gradual, went for
q long time unnoticed, and not until
the merchants recently began to com.
pare their sales of five years ago with
those of today was it found that the
average increase has been approxi-
mately one size. New York Herald.

ODD THINGS IN CUBA.
The Way Natives Plant Fences and American
Soldiers Planted Tables.

Some odd things happen in Cuba
When q man wishes fence around his
yard or field, he doesn't build 1t, he
plants h-and it grows, too. First he
cuts a great bundle Of .pinon twigs,
then he scratches little trench where
he wants his fence to run and finally
he sticks in the twigs in row few
inches apart. The soil Of Cuba Is so
rich, and the weather SO warm and
moist that directly the twigs take root,
throw out branches and leaves and
presently there is a dense hedge Of
pinon trees enclosing the field. And
there are no nails to drop out here
nor boards to fall down and let In the
cattle and the fence Is good for hun
dred years.
Nor Is that the most curious thing
that one may see in Cuba. What would
you think Of camp table that grew?
While the American soldiers were
camped back at Santiago they made
great numbers Of little tables by driv
Ing forked sticks in the ground for
legs and using top Of boards. Of
course the legs took root and some Of
these tables are now nicely shaded by
leafy branches, and in two or three
years four nice trees will be growing
there, and no one will ever dream that
they were once table legs. Another
curious thing. At Guantanamo an old
tin can was fastened around the
branch Of big Cuban laurel tree some
four or five feet from it's leafy end.
1t was packed full of earth, and Amer
leans wondered what could the pur-
pose of 1t.
"That's simple enough" said the Gu
ban householder. "In few weeks
roots will grow in the earth inside the
tin can. Then we can cut off the limb
just back Of the can, stick it in the
ground, take away the can and 1t will
grow into q tree"
=. Plant n caulitlower plant In Cuba and
instead Of spreading out in a big fat
head like q cabbage, 1t spindles up for
all the world like a sunfower, three
or four feet high. with big rank leaves
and little flower at the top that you
never could recognize as caulifower.
