Making a Trofley Car,

The first step to take Is to mount the
above diagram on cardboard, prefer
ably Bristol board. When the paste or
glue is thoroughly dry-it should be in
half an hour-cut out the pieces. The
dotted lines. remember, show where
you crease or fold; they are not to be
cut at all. You viii find it easier to
paint the car while 1t is yet fat sur
face rather than after 1t has been
nodded into its proper shape. Dark
blue for the body of the car would be
good, with brown or yellow trimmings

CARE OF THE EYES.
Much Trouble and Suffering May Easily
Pc

Much Trouble and Suffering May Easily
Re Avoicel.
Nowhere Is the comparison between
an ounce of prevention and pound of
cure more applicable than in the care
of the eyes; for the neglect of seeming
ly trivial affections. perfectly curable
in their beginnings. may lead in an in
credibly short time to permanent i'm
pairment of vision, or even to total
blindness. The care of the eyes should
begin with the moment of birth. The
new baby's eyes should be the first
part to receive attention. They should
be wiped carefully with a piece of alb
s0rbent cotton wet with warm solu-
tion of boric acid, of a strength of
about sixty grains in four ounces of
distilled water. After the lids have
been thus carefully washed on the out
side they should be gently separated
and some of the solution dropped into
the eyes.
In washing the eyes one should be
careful never to dip again in the soiu-
tion piece of cotton which has once
been used; fresh piece must be taken
each time the eyes are wiped.
The baby's eyes must be protected
from the light; its crib should be placed
where the eyes are not exposed to the
full light from window, and the car
riage should have shade raised only
about foot above the baby's head.
Children often suffer from infiamma-
tion of the edges of the lids, which are
red and scaly. and the lashes fall out
and break off. This may betoken a
general scrofulous condition, or 1t may
depend upon some defect in the sight
which causes eye-strain. or it may be
only local trouble. If it is only local
trouble, a few applications of boric
acid ointment at bedtime will gener-
ally effect cure.
Conjunctivftis, or Inflammation of the
membrane covering the globe Of the
eve, may be due to cold. to the action
of bright sunlight or reflection from
water or from snow, or to eye-strain
from some visual imperfeetion. Usu.
ally the boric acid solution will give
relief here, even when the trouble can
not be permanently cured until proper
glasses are worn.
L Another painful consequence of eye
/ strain is a succession of sites. Wher
a child suffers frequently from sites
| from sore lids, or from conjunctiyitis
the sight should be tested.
Much harm is often done to the eyes
as well as to the general health, BY
too long application to books. eithel

The Pickles Test.

There had been an epidemic Of
mumps in Denver, and every afternoon
brought to the health department a
number of children seeking permission
to return to school. Sometimes no doc
tor was present, and they had to wait.
So, says the Republican, DIR. Carlin de-
yised a means by which his secretary,
Miss Currigan. might test the appli-
cants.
pickles are the thing" said DIR. Car

Now, when there is no doctor in the
office, Miss Currigan lines up the appli-
cants for certificates and goes down

Of the family to which he belongs once
teased him by scuffiing about the rugs
of her home until she could give an
electric spark of considerable snap and
then discharging it upon the nose Of
her pet, the spaniel.
Not long after this abuse the dog was
observed to roll upon the rugs. entirely
of his own accord, and then to run to
the brass bedsteads and obtain spark.
This he continues to do and his own
observation seems to have taught him
that he must approach metal in order
to receive the spark. In one room he
runs to the bedstead; in another to the
register, and as he licks his nose after
the prickiing Of the spark he never
fails to wag the remains of his tail and
his face assumes q decided expression
of pleasure.
