Simplicity.

Who looks into her sunny soul
 And looks into her heart Doth look upon such 1ovefiness
 As seldom dreams impart. She is not fair to every one
 To those who cannot see Below the plain exterior The. crystal springs that be. Were all her goodness spread to view, Or hinted in her face, 5 It were too much of beautiful
 For any mortal place; Too much for earth to wonder at
 Or for vain eyes to see: And so God wells her holiness

A sHIPsUiLDlNG COMBINE.
American and EUEii.h CSapaH;es
 Considering the Subject.

PHILADELPHIA, Dee. s.-TRe LeCs today says that persons whs are in position to know the facts of tke matter were asked concerning the puklica tieH that proposals have been made locking to the combination of the great English shipbuilding concern. the Nickers Sons t Maxim company. the Cramp ship and Engine Building company and the Mid vale Steel works. That a scheme which contemplates the union of the Nickers Sons & Maxim company, the Cramp com pany and the AIidyale company has been advanced and been seriously considered and faVora biy by even some of those heavily interested was admitted by a large stockholder of the Cranp company. He said that the proposition had been put forward from the other side; that it in cludes the merging of the Midvale com pauy and the Cramp company and the union of the two with the Nickers X Maxim company. The capital nec6ssary to effect the combination would in large part come from the English interest which would thereafter have an impor tart voice in the management of the Cramp and Midvale combination. The affairs of the interest here would, howev- CT, be largely in the American directors.
 No formal action on the proposition has, he said, been taken by the Cramp directors. but as individuals they general Iy favor it. As the directors control the stock eff the Cramp company their action in the matter would doubtless meet the cenaent of the smaller stockholders. It was stated. however. that the scheme is still largely '.in the air." though it is promising.

Take Care Of the Eyes.

Don't think because you have good eyes
they will bear all kind 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
e.sary for clear, sharp vision.
Don't make practice OF reading a type
too small to be seen readily at eighteen
inches.
Don't attempt to read in car or other
jolting vehicle. 1t is a strain on the d.
recting muscles OF the eye.
Don't read while lying down. 1t CAUSES
an unusual strain on some OF the external
or directing muscles.
Don't read when very sleepy, as accom-
mediation and conveyance are naturally
relaxed, and the extra effort necessary TO
force the unruly members to work may
be shown by a CONGESTION of the blood
vessels of the eyebsil.
Don't read facing the light.
Don't read In the Wight or in badly
lighted rooms.
