Facts About Tired Eyes.

DR.. Lotion, prominent English
physician, says there Is popular no.
ton that 1t is much more dangerous to
tire the eyes by use than it is to tire
any other organ of the body. 1t is not
necessarily injurious to the legs or the
arms or the brain to become tired, for
proper rest may restore all these TO
their normal condition. The same is
true in regard to the eyes.
Proofreaders, sewing women and me-
chanics, who use their eyes for long
time upon near objects, must of ne
cessity weary the muscles that adjust
the eye to vision; but If the WEAKNESS
is compensated for by rest at proper
intervals there will be no harm done
TO the eyes, for they are so construct
ed that they can bear maximum IA
tigue as well as other parts of the
body. Education would cease, all ne
chanical work would soon have an end
If the eyes of our school children and of
certain kinds of worlSmen were never
tired. Eyes are never overworked,
even If they feel very tired when the
task is done, If their natural power
and freshness return after the proper
intervals of rest during the day and
sleep ut night.

Wants Her Money Clean.

A woman who lives ON South Six
teenth street has great horror of
filthy lucre. She is thoroughly imbued
with the idea that all sorts of germs
and microbes lurk in dirty money, and
when she gets soiled bank notes she
washes and irons them, after which
process the greenbacks come out bright
and beautiful. She also washes all
silver and copper coins that fall into
her hands, after which she lays them
on the carpet to restore the lustre. One
afternoon recently, while so engaged
In her kitchen, with the door wide
open, neighbor's dog ran in, and,
picking up half dollar in its mouth
ran out again. All efforts to locate the
animal failed until evening, when its
master returned home. Then the dog
suddenly appeared, and, rushing up
to its master, laid the half dollar at
his feet. 1t had carried the coin in it's
mouth for nearly four hours.-Phlla-
delphia Record.

CARS CRASH IN CROWD.
One Killed. Two Injured Near the Broadway
Ferry, In BROOKLYN.

New York Especially AS a result of
n trolley crash near the Broadway fer
ry, Brooklyn, one woman was killed
outright and two were fatally injured.
Several other persons sustained pain
ful injuries. The accident occurred at
half-past six o'clock. just as a great
crowd of Christmas shoppers were
emerging from the ferry house. A
metropolitan avenue car was standing
on the track at the terminus, and a
Newton car was waiting for it to start
up. The motorman of the latter car
accidentally pulled off the lever and
the conductor at the same time set the
trolley pole on the line. Instantly the
Newton car plunged forward with such
force as to knock the car in front Of it
clear on the track, sending it full $50
feet into the street. An unknown wo-
man dressed in black was caught be-
meath the car and instantly crushed to
death. Two other women, who were
Just boarding the rear platform of the
metropolitan car, wereaso badly crush
ed that they cannot live.

MILLIONS FOR EDUCATION.
States In Union Expended Sl97,0OO,OOo on
Schools During the Year.

Washington Especially The report
of the National Bureau of Education
contains some interesting statements
on public education.
Massachusetts, Nevada, California
and New York, in the order named,
still lead the other States in the
amount of money spent per capita for
public education. The sparsely settled
condition of Nevada makes public
schools in that State expensive.
Massachusetts is credited with spend
ing $5.07 per capita; Nevada, $4.96, and
New York, S4.03. South Carolina is
credited with $3.50. However, the
growth of public education expendi-
lures in the South has been much
greater proportionately than in the
North.
In Delaware, Maryland, the District
of Columbia, West Virginia and Flori-
da decrease is shown in the number
of public school children between the
ages of and 18 to each 1000 of popu-
ation, compared with 80 years ago. All
of the North Atlantic States show a
decrease.
During the last year the various
States expended $197, ,0O0,O 900 for public
education. Thirty-three millions of
this went for buildings and permanent
plant, $12S,000,000 for salaries and the
balance for maintenance.

Barre, VT Especially Chief OF Police
Patrick Brown is in critical condi-

on account of three bullet wounds in

italian socialist society was holding a

clubs and revolvcrs were used, and the
police were summoned to put O stop to
the disturbance.
After considerable difficulty the com
batants were separated and disarmed
and the anarchists were expelled. This
seemed to settle the difficulty, and the
police withdrew. AS Chief Brown was
making his way along a lonely street
he heard shot as bullet whistled by
his head. This seemed signal for
fusilade from different directions, and
tne cnieI started TO run, at the same
time trying TO open his coat to get his
own revolver Then two bullets struck
him, and as he fell, third found lodg-

after the first shot three men had ap-
