EYE HABITS.
az Trnla Il. Jones.

tSy lfi1ld II. Jones,
some one has said that neatness is
habit Of the eyes. II this be true, 1t
Is a habit which can be strengthened,
The earlier in life the better. Love of
beauty Is a companion habit, which, IL
not learned In childhood, Is not likely
TO be acquired later Were all parents
thoughtful and careful enough to inn
plant these two traits in the character
OF their children, many problems Of
later life would be solved in advance
ana homes and city streets wear new
aspect. Love of beauty In ones mind
grows by exercise. il a child gains the
seeing eye with a responsive heart
early In Me, an avenue of pleasure
Is opened to him which grows more and
more charming as years so by.
Even from a material point OF view
d habit OF neatnesS and an apprecia-
ton OF the beautiful are an advantage.
Though one disreearis the appeal OF
the esthetac, II pays TO insist upon
neatness until II has become 50 strong
an eye-habit that, uncoasciously, per-
sen maintains It in all his surround
ings.
The movement undertaken in re-
cent wears for village Improvement
are doing much to establish correct
eye-ihahits among all classes, and de-
serve the hearty encouragement Of
every local man or woman in our
country. Genuine and hearty love OF
true beauty is one of the most effective
antidotes to evil that can be pre-
scribed Taae boy or girl who has this
love we'll implanted in the heart has
an almost invulnerable armor of de-
fense against vulgardty. and a source
Of unsreakable comfort when the
trials of maturity come upon the life
like food
Already the work OF demolishing
the old Twilight building has changed
the aspect of that corner and when 1t
is finihed and the debris removed. it
viii look like another lot and its value
be enhanced thereby.

Asleep in Park.

William Campbell, seventy-fve years
of age, attired in a drab suit. plug hat,
and carrying a tin can containing s13I,
and who is said to be the owner OF
several pieces of valuable real estate in
Southwest Washington. was a prisoner
in the dock of the District branch of the
Police Court yesterday, charged with be-
ing n vagrant.
A policeman said he found the old man
asleep in Stanton Park, with the tin
can and money in the pocket OF the tail
of his coat. and that when he awoke him
he acted in a peculiar manner and gave
no rational account OF himself.
Several persons who CHANGED to be in
the courtroom knew Campbell. They
said his sight and hearing were i'm
paired. which probably accounted for his
actions.
Policeman Hatton explained to Judge
Beverly that Campbell lived on First
Street southwest. and that he was the
owner OF number of houses in that vi
cinity. He said he had no family and
that he practically lived the life of a
hermit SO far as associates go.
Campbell was discharged and the tin
can and SlST turned over to him.

JENNINGS GUSHER UNHURT.
Not Damaged by Recent Fire -Rejoic
ing at Beaumont.

NEW ORLEANS, July 22.-The loss by
the Jennings gusher fire, which was
blown out yesterday by steam. is now
put at not over $4,000. of which $4,000
represents the $4,000 barrels OF oil ami
ether property destroyed. and $4,000 the
cost of blowing out the fire.
The success of the experiment has been
received with Joy at Beaumont and
throughout the oil region. as ii leaves
10 doubt of the possibility of blowing
cut or extinguishing the worst oil fires.
Experiments with the gusher made to-
day show that it is still able to throw
the oil to the height of 500 feet, and
is not in the slightest degree damaged
by the late fire. which lasted six days.

The requirement Of control OF .he

ener and their associates in the cleo
trical traction business. which was an
nounced few days ago. appears To he
only part of plan which promises a
revolution in the railroad industry. II
is now said that GAM &, Co.. Of Buda-
pest, are associated in the deal. This
firm is not only the largest electrical
concern in Europe. but It has devoted a
great part of its attention to deyelop-
ing electrical motors to take the place
of steam locomotives. Its success Is
shown by a number of electric lines in
Europe, which, 1t is said, are operated at
a saving Of - per cent over what sim
liar steam roads cost. The movement Of
Mr.. Whitney and his associates. there
fore, means a definite effort TO intro
duce this form of traction on American
railroads.
good many years probably Will pass
before electric locomotives are gener-
ally used in the United States, though
they will be adopted TO a limited extent
before very long by several lines. For
example, all the Pennsylvania trains
between Jersey City and Long Island
must be moved by electricity as soon as
its tunnels and underground electrical
terminals in New York are finished.
while electrical traction must be used
10 solve the tunnel problem facing the
New York Central in New York. The
rapidity with which the use of electrical
locomotives is extended will depend en-
tirely upon the cost of power. II the
promoters Of the new combine can prove
that the GAM system is cheaper than
steam for American railroads. the com
panies wall eventually adopt this form
of traction-BuffaIo Express.
