Rules For Good EyesIeht.

The following simple rules for the
preservation OF the eyesight are
worth remembering: Keep shade
on your lamp or gas burner. Avoid
all sudden changes between light
and darkness. Never begin to read,
write or sew for several minutes
after coming from darkness into
light. Never read by twilight,
moonlight or any light 50 scant that
It requires an effort to discriminate.
Never read or sew directly in
front Of the light, window or door.
It is best to let the light fall from
above, obliquely over the left shout
der. Never sleep SO that on first
awakening the eyes shall open on
the light Of a window. The moment
you are instinctively prompted to
rub your eyes that moment stop
using them.

When our heads reach that stays
when foot tub will about fit us fol-
q hat, it's mighty good thing to
have some wise friend or relative tt
put them under the pump and hold
them there until the swelling sub
sides. A nice young fellow here
married into a society family. His
father was one of that blunt, hon
est sort of men who have accumu-
lated pretty good fortune by hard
labor and who have no nonsense in
them.
The young couple began soon to
put on fancy trimmings with the old
man. He was not invited out when
they had a pink tea or green break
fast, but was used to fill in the
ehinks. Well, the old man wouldn't
have enjoyed it anyhow, for he was
used to plain, substantial cooking,
and o supper Of little cakes, ice
cream, a croquette, dab Of salad
and a glass of frappe would floor
him. When he had suppers, there
would be big dish Of birds, hot bis
cults, pickles and preserves, old style
chicken salad and a hot punch after

Bit the old man stood the change
In the boy for awhile until one day
he came down home and asked him
to give his wife a ehiffonier, pro-
nouncing it "chee-fon-ee-ay:""~
This was too much. "Get IN the
buggy with me-" said the elder
sternly. II want to drive you to see
something" The son complied, and
the two drove up Green street until
they came to little, old tumble
down cottage, much the worse for
age. F'There, sir" said the irate
parent, there's where you were
born. Don't forget it again and be
talking to me about your wife's

AT $2s PER TON.
Steel Trust Fixes the Price of Rails
for Next Year.

Steel Trust Fixes the Price of Rails
for Next Year.
New York, July 12.-The Herald
says:
Steel rail manufacturers forming
what is known to the trade as the
steel rail pool have formally agreed
upon $2S ton: as the price which will
be asked for the coming year. This
price is So a ton higher than that
agreed upon at the steel rail pool
meeting last fall, when the pool price
was announced. Since May 1, how
ever, new schedule went into effect
and prices were advanced from SIG a
ton to $28 a ton. The new price list
for next year for standard section rails
is therefore the same as that which
has prevailed for the past two months.
1t is understood that negotiations
have been carried on for several days
In a quiet manner by ex-Judge Gary,
chairman OF the United States Steel
corporation, and President Schwab of
the same company, with the Pennsyl-
van1a railroad officials, and the result
is that the pool price OF 1913 ton is
announced. Much Importance is at
tached to the fact that the price, $2S a
ton, Will be maintained Tor next years
business.
It is considered the best evidence
that the big steel trust considers that
the present prosperous condition in
the steel and iron business will con-
tfnue Tor 94 least year.

United States steel Corporation Will
ing to Sign the AmaIgamated Scale
for All Plants at Uniform Wages,
But Refused to Unlonize Mills op'
Grated as Non-Unton fog Years
Compromise Is Expected.
Pittsburg, July 12.-The conference
of the advisory board of the Anal
gamated association and the managers
of the United States Steel corporation,
in an effort to settle the strike of
steel workers, met here at 10 a. IA. At
l p. m. a recess was taken, NO agree
ment having been reached. It was
authoritative1y stated that the com
bine offered TO sign the Amalgamated
scale for all the plants and make
the wages uniform, bNt declined to
unionize the plants operated as Non
union for years. Trustee Morgan of
the Amalgamated association said the
proposition would not be accented.
The combine representatives de-
clare that it would be unfair to the
men to force them into the organiza-
tion if they do not desire to join. They
also are willing to concede. the right
to the Amalgamated officials to enter
the mills and organize the men, but
will object to compulsion.
1t is intimated thata Concession will
be allowed the manufacturers thaS
have agreements with the men pre-
Tfous to last wars wage settlement.
Those mills, it Is said, win be allowed
to work out their individual agree
ments, which expire Jan. i. After
that time these mills will also come
under the Jurisdiction Of the Anal
gamated association or sooner if the
men become members Of the associa-
tion previous to the expiration Of the
annual agreement. -....--~-vru-,al 80
The Vandergrift and Leechburg
sheet mills are, 80 far as known, the
only ones that will come under the
exception clause. The agreements
with the workmen at those mills ante
date the formation of the Sheet Steel
company and remained in force when
the plants were absorbed.
The conference was resumed at 2:10
p. m. President Shaffer thought the
decisive move might come during the
afternoon. .-

Origin Of a Quaint expressjors -

In the fifteenth century i was
customary for English alehouse
keepers to write the scores of theiR
customers on the wall with bit of
charcoal. The letter P served as an
abbreviation for pints and Q for
quarts, each being placed at the top
of a column, long or short, of figures
showing the state of the customers
account. The fact being wen
known, it became customary for
sober friends to withdraw their
drinking companions from the tap
room by showing them the length OF
the account, or, in their language,
the "state Of their P's and Q1s.e
Mind your P's and Q's" was COM
mon hint to a hard drinker that he
was going too far, and the expires
sion easily found favor in other
places than taprooms and became
accredited as a synonym for 'Be ON
your good behavior"

But Not His ForecastIe, as the Sea
Captain Found Out.
The ship had dropped anchor in
the lower bay, and the captain was
nervously pacing the deck waiting
for the owners tug. A man hailed
the ship from a rowboat and said
he was coming on board. The cap
tain recognized him as a boarding
house runner and ordered him off.
The runner insisted. ,,-.e,s-e
"The minute you come over the
rail Of this ship I'll shoot you Like

You'll hang for it # you dol"
yelled the man, making his boat fast
to the ships side.
FMy ships my home, and I'd have
as much right to kill you as a man
on shore would to kill a burglar, y
continued the captain. '3That's the
instructions I got from the owners
on my last trip
JUST Cnen Lne owners tug arrived,
and the runner took to his oars.
Wouldn't I have had right to
shoot him if he'd insisted on coming
on board?" asked the captain. The
owner had consulted his attorney
since the captain had been in port
before and had to modify his orders.
'The law is not what we i'm
agined," he said 'oThe ship is not
your home, but your yard. You can
defend your cabin as If it were your
house. The forecastle is as another
building in your yard, the quarters

Ephraim Knox's Hen Story.

Ephraim Knox lived in the center
of his native village, and his hens
wandered here and there at their
own sweet will, to the frequent an
noyance of his neighbors. Ephraim,
however, was no respecteP Of per-
sons and considered his hens cas-
good as anybody" and desirable Wis
itors.
When it was decided that the
town library should be built in. a
vacant lot ''next door to him, "
Ephraim was flied with pride and
joy, and he and his hens superin-
tended operations from the first.
Ephraim's brother Seth was not
devoted to hens. One day he was
passing the site Of the library with
a friend and stopped to view the
progress of affairs. Rphraim's hens
were there, cackling away as if their
lives depended on it. Seth looked
at them in disgust.
What IN the world are those hens
making such noise for, do you sup
pose? There amt any grain in
there" said the friend.
"Well," remarked Seth dryly,
''they've had the oversight Of most
everything in town. You know the
cornerstone of the building was laid
yesterday, and I calc'late that
speckled hen over there thinks she

A slight acquaintance with the
hatomy of an eaFthworm enables
Is to understand why the body is
divided into a number of rings, OF
Fsegments," as they are more gener.
ally termed. The internal organs,
instead of being distributed among
the segments, are for the most part
repeated from segment to segment.
1t follows, therefore, that when the
gardeners spade shears off several
inches of worm the animal Is not
deprived of one or more essential
organs, but only of a less or greater
number of parts Of these organs.
Spalanzani was the first natural

experiments of this kind, which

pointed out, that ''by a strange para

In addition to these advantages
in it's construction, the earthworm
has certain amount of cunning

merable worms may be seen lying

in their, burrows. On the slightest
