On tombstone in an old New Eng
land churchyard there is an epitaph
which never fails TO bring smile to
the face of the reader:
'STo the memory Of Ann Sophia and
Julia Hattie, his two wives, this stone
is erected by their grateful widower,
James B. Rollins. They made home
pleasant. "-Woman's Journal

The young man was fresh from col
lege, and upon securing position on a
paper was made market reporter. He
had only been on the street few days
when a fruit dealer received con-
signment of the first crop Of oranges.
The fruit man told the reporter that
they were of the navel variety, but the
name evidently did not suit the young
scribe. In his market report the fol
lowing paragraph appeared:
'The first umbilical oranges of the
season were received by a local dealer

Whyf

"Why," asks the New York Press,
SHOULD Hartford be the center of in
surance in this country instead of New
York? Why should Boston be the cen
ter of the copper industry? There is
no copper within 1000 miles of the
Hub. Why should majority of our
shoes be made at Lynn?
1--WE can understand why Pittsbure
should be the center of the iron indus
try. sitting as she does in the heart OF
the ore and coal region. but why
should she make nearly all our glass
when there is better sand elsewhere
Why is Providence the great jewelry

Canadian Otter ~--,.- < and Slides Down
 Hill Ju,E for I'm
 t seems strange to think that any full grown. foaF-foetad animal should indulge in play like 3 child, and yet this is what the otter does. His amusement is tobagganing, and hif playground Is a slope, covered with iee CT snow. that goes down grade into pool of water. No little boy, with 3 new sled, 2ver enjoyed a coast down an ice-boand hill more than this beau t1ful creature from the frozen .sh. The otter is quite large, sometimes weighing as much as 9 pounds. He resembles the seal and the mink. be- ing, however, of heavier build, and is both supple and strong. Living for the most part in water he preys on dsh, which his swimming and diving ability enables him to catch easily. me entrance to his home, which is burrow in the bank of a stream, is Snder the water. In the early spring when the ice begins to thaw, these animals start on their travels from ono stream to another, sometimes spona- Ing months on the journey. If they happen to see an inviting hill by thd @ayside they Immediately stop their pilgrimage ana prepare for some sport. Che of the number leaves the water ana slowly climbs the slope, making 2 smooth hollow in the ice with his vet body When the slide is pre- naTed, he lies Hat on his belly, thrusta Dis nose forward, and turning his fore paws under his soft sides, goes sail. 'ns swiftly down His speed steadily increases anti1 he reaches the water silently he parts the surface and is lost from sight for a few seconds: then bis head appears above the surface and you can hear him give a call which sounds like a whistle This is a sig nal. The next otter assumes the posi- aoa and shoots down to the bottom to 5eln his companion, who has mean while craWled out on the ice. Then another whistle and the next in order slides and plunges, and the perform anee Is kept up until each one has s9Y@Tal trips to his credft.-Exchange

BETTER EYES NOWADAYS.
Desr,te the Fact That spectacles Are
 Far Moro Common.

Defective eyesight is certainly be- coming more and more common, and Ehe way the use of glasses has increas- ed would be extremely startling If we had not grown accustomed to them by degrees" said one of a group of New Orleans business men. When 1 was a hoy it was very unusual to see young person wearing specs; now we en- counter them at every tura. Our grandfathers used to be proud of their splendid vision, and in many cases It was retained into advanced old age. but at present pair of perfectly sound eyes are the exception instead of the rule. I am willing to bet that you can go up and down Canal street. from one end of the retail district to the other. without finding half dozen business men of over 45 who can get along with out artificial aid to tue sight. l paid visit to q young ladies seminary not long ago. and out of one class of 33 l counted 18 wearing glasses. That $ 9 frightfuI percentage. If it doesn't indI< cate that the human eye is playing out under the strain of modern conditions I would like to know " at it does mean? ?9 q think I can =reassure you, said physician who had joined the party while the other was speaking. The human eye is not playing out, but 5s merely receiving better care. The statistics on the subject do not extend back more than 90 or 40 years and are very imperfect, but they indicate thai there is less defective vision now than there used to be, especially among school children. I know that is con- trary to the general impression, but 1t is fact, and is attributed to better lighted school rooms and better printed books. We have a1. read how some ot our great statesmen studied their les. sons by the light of the fireplace, and if they ever did such thing, which doubt, you may rest assured they paid for it with spectacles in after life. The reason why so many glasses are seen nowadays is that the slightest visual defect is at once corrected, while in former times it was either ignored or unnoticed, and, though there are probs ably more spectacles among very old people you will likewise find fewer Very old people totally bind"

Russia In The Far
3 East.

The Russian Bear is slow and
cautions, lut be is very patient.
For more thao half a century Rus
sia has been ambitions OF extending
her Asiatic Empire Southwark. Ne
arly fifty years ago she attempted to
do this by seizing Turkey and the
Crimean war resulted.
Now she is endeavoring to accom-
plish the same end, but by proceeding
in different direction. Oar cable
dispatches give the information that
"England" regards with suspicion
the operations of Russia in the East.
And we'll she may, but that is all
she can do at present. With prac-
tically her entire army engaged in
South Africa, she is in no position
to take an aggressive attitude to-
wards Russia. But when the Trans
Eaal war is over, there can be little
doubt that one of England's first
acts will be to investigate Russia's
movements and notify the Gear
that their must be no tamprring
with the boundaries of her Eastern
Empire the integrity of which she
will undoubtedly endeavor to pres
erve intact.
1t is not probable, however, thai
war will result, as in the first place
the Gar is welknOwn to be almost
an extremist in his desire for peace,
and England will hardly feel like
plunging into another war after the
hard knocks she has received in
this one.

Condensed History
Of The South African
Republics.

In 1862 the Dutch established
themselves at the Cape, the govern
ment of which was intruSted to a
company. In 1858 and 1859 one
hundred and seventy six French Hu-
guenots who had fed to Holland
Joined them and were forced to becO-
me Dutch. Little by little the whi-
tes invaded the territory of the Hot
tentots, which lay beyond the juris-
diction of the company THIS was
the beginning Of the great invasion
which has carried the Beers as fa
as the Transvaal.
Toward the end of the eighteenth
century the Boerz revoIted on two
occasions against t b e company.
When the English took possession
of the Cape in 1895, at the instiga,
tiOn of the Prince OF Orange, and

raj changes in it along the lines Of
the substitute measure proposed BY
Representative Minor, Of Wisconsin,
and some of his republican associa-
ties. These amendments have been
incorpOtated, in the main, in the Sc
nate bill, - that the action Of the
committee brings the two Houses in
virtual agreement on the form Of
the measure.
A new amendment intended to
prevent the creation of \ trust in
shipping interests, proposed by Re-
preventative Stevens, of Minnesota,
was adopted. 1t provides that any
vessel or owner of a vessel entering
a trust to increase the price ofexpori
freight or in restraint Of export trade
shall cease to draw compensation
under the bill, and that any comb
nation or conspiracy of shipyards
engaged in building vessels for com
pensatiOn under the act shall be lille

SeiiOr AgoncillO, the Filipinos'

IN all the French papers few days

Filipinos, it was declared, had taken
forty prisoners, including the Anne

and by resolution to continue the
fight to the bitter end. 1t may be
said that the war is only begun, sin

which already has prOGuced the
