The Habit of wearing spee.aeles

est is a singular and grotesque
fact" said an eye specialist of this
city, "that great many uneducated
people get into the spectacle habit
without any need whatever for wear
ing glasses. Take, for instance, a
man whose eyes become little in
famed from exposure to the sun or
some other cause. His sight is all
right, and what he really needs is q
soothing lotion of some sort to allay
the irritation of the membrane. Very
frequently, however, he will imagine
that he requires pair of spectacles.
and will buy them at the cheapest
place he can find. without the slight
est regard to the suitability of the
lenses. In nine cases out of ten it is
almost impossible for him to see
through the things, but he will wear
them as much as he can, believing
that his eyes are being benefited.

The Weird Effect Of Phosphoreseenee on q
q Ship In Bering Sea.

IT have often heard of the wonder
full phosphorescence Of Southern seas,"
remarked traveller from the North,
."and I have seen some pretty far
samples in the Atlantic between New
York and English ports, but I did not
know it prevailed to any extent IN
Northern waters until during the past
summer.
1 "In August last I was on board the
revenue cutter McCulloch, in the Be-
ring sea, about 63 degrees north lati-
tude, bound north, when one night
about 10 o'clock I happened to go on
deck, and I was almost frightened by
the sight of the sea. The wind was
blowing sharp enough to raise the
white caps, and the whole sea looked
as If it were lighted from its depths
by million arc lights, throwing their
white rays upward and under the n.y.
ing foam. The hollows Of the waves
were dark, were dark, but every crest
that broke showered and sparkled as
if it were filed with light. From the
sides of the ship great rolls OF broken
White light fell away, and she lert u
broad pathway Of silyery foam as rar
back as the eye could reach. :.
."But about this hour was the most
striking display. Here it was Us II the
ship were ploughing through the sea
of white light, and as the water was
thrown back from her Prov it fell IN
glittering piles of light upon the dark
surface beyond, and was driven 1ar
down below, lighting the depths Us II

THE brilliant white turmoil Of the wa

.afloat upon some silver sea, and
really uncanny feeling took possession
of me. The white ship was lighted by
the phosphorescence ~ the waters, 30
that as high up as the deck there was
a pale, weird white, that made one feel
as if the Flying Dutchmen' were
abroad upon the sea and had passed Dy
Jus. THE masts lowered in ashy gray
above the decks, and every. rope and
line stood out distinctly in the light
but cast no shadows. 1t was all as
sghostly as if we had gone up against

lief to get back into the ward room'

Lambs and Oysters on Trees.

The Dominican, Du Tertre, asserts in
his book that he saw at Guadeloupe
oysters growing on the branches OF
trees, by their weight bending down
the branches into the sea, land they
are refreshed twice day by the lux
and refu1 of it." Bishop Fleetwood
tells of tree in Clmbalon whose
leaves turn into birds and animals MS
soon as they fall to the earth. Pigfet'
tn says he kept one Of these leaves
eight days in jar, and that it took to
walking as soon as he touched 1t, and
it lived only on the air.
The wonderful Tartarian shrub or
lamb tree Is vouched for by more than
one. It is about three feet in height
and on the top grows the lamb. 1t ia
covered with the thin nest bark, which
the natives use for head covering. The
inner pulp Is like lobster flesh, and
blood flows when it is wounded. At
long as the lamb Is surrounded by plen-
tiful pasturage it thriTes, but as soon
as the grass becomes dry it withers
away. Another plant that bore lambs
in pod is recorded, but these differed
from the others in having horns. A
traveller says that he, ate Of the flesh
and drank of the blood Of them.
Sir John Maundeville also tells OF
trees Of the sun and the moon which
grew in one of the Indian islands, and
that spake to King Alexander and
warned him Of his death. He reported
that "the folk that kepen the trees and
eten of the frute and Of the bawme
that groweth there, lyven wei 400 yerc
or 500 yere,. be vertue Of the frute and
the bawme.-Chicago Times-Herald.

minimum. and Maximum of Sleep for Ma,

Minimum. and Maximum of Sleep for Man
"The old rule of eight hours sleep
is sheer nonsense" said New Or
leans physician, chatting after Office
hours. Natural sleep is something
that can't be regulated by any formula.
The body takes what it needs, be it
much or little, and the necessary
amount varies with the individual. In
q general way would say that four
hours is the minimum and ten hours
the maximum for people in fair health.
Either more or less is a pretty sure
sign that something is out of gear
usually something in the brain. i
have two patients who sleep only four
hours and keep in tolerably good con-
dition. Both are middle.aged men,
and neither of them works very hard.
They are simply SO constituted that
nature can repair its losses in four
hours of Inconsistencies. In many
other people nearly three times as long
is required; the nerve cells work more.

queerest case that ever came under

sleep two or three hours night
thrnngh the week and on Sunday
would catch up in twenty-four hour
nap. That is no exaggeration, but On
actual fact we'll known to all his init

away nervous energy as camel stores

An Extensive Meal for a Horse.

Jacob W. Whitehead, storekeeper
of New Paris, Ind, is short $65 In cur
rency and his horse has risen In value.
Mr.. Whitehead went home late and
climbed the stairs Of the barn to throw
down hay to the family nag. In his
pocket he had a pocketbook containing
five ten dollar bills, one five and ten
ones. This dropped from his pocket
as he bent over to pick up the hay.
Mr. Whitehead did not miss the money
till the morning after. He then search
ed the barn, and found a few frag-
ments of the pocketbook, together with
tiny bits of the bills. The faithful an
imal had devoured the hay and Yalor'
ously tackled the pocketbook and con
tents, leaving nothing with which MI

PEARLS OF THOUGHT.

Only those can sing in the dark
who have light in the heart.
The best way of avenging thyself
is not to become like the wrong-doer.
We should treat our friends as we
do ourselves; for friend is another
self.
Love should give wings to the feet
of service, and strength to the arms
of labor. = - :" '"'
Simplicity is one of the first laws
of greatness, and another like unto it
is humility.
He who always complains of the
clouds receiie little. of-life's sun
shine and deserves Less ~
Defeat is one of the hardest things
to bear, even in triaes; but We have
to be defeated in order to succeed.
There are few things impossible in
!, themselves, and the application nec-
,essary to make them succeed is more
.often9wanting than the means.
Severity carried to the highest pitch,
breaks the mind,i and then. in the
place of disorderly young fellow,
you have low spirited, moped crea-
ture.
An ounce of essence is worth gal
lon Of fluid. A wise saw may be
more valuable than whole book, and
plain truth is better than an argu-
ment.'
If we desire to reduce mental actiy-
ity, it stands to reason that we must
attend to nothing. We must let the
mind drift. We must not attempt to
exercise any control whatever, but let
the thoughts stray as they will and
follow any line of association that is o
line of least resistance.
1t is very poor record when night
comes if we have been spending every
hour of the day with our thoughts
bent wholly upon our own pleasure or
profit. If this is sad way to spend
one day, how much worse is it when
we spend week, month, year sell
fishly bent upon our own affairs?

SCIENCE AND INDUSTRY.

Lieutenant Maury has calculated
that if an inch of rain fell over fifth
part of the surface of the Atlantic, it:
would mean an addition to its volume
of $50 million IONS of water, and that
if the same amount of water evapor-
ated from. the ocean, it would leave 16l
million tons of sea-salt.
According to the state geologist of
Indiana, the natural gas supply of that
state is decreasing in pressure, and its
quantity is limited. In FIVE Yeas all
the pipe lines have been extended
towards the heart of the field, and the
centre is now reduced to nm area of,
less than $50 square miles. In this
centre the pressure has diminished
from 264 pounds in 1895 to 1S1 pounds
in 1898, and the average rock pres
sure of the entire field has been re-
duced from 19l pounds in November,
1897, to 173 pounds in November,
1898. The average pressure ut which
salt water overcomes gas. is stated at
between 13O aud $50 pounds to the
square inch, and this necessitates the
abandonment Of the.well.
