safe blowers did their work and made
their escape without interference.
An Italian 10Y came near frustrating
their plans. Being without money he
had lain down beside the depot to sleep
until r'orn'ng came. The safe
blowers stumbled over the body of the
boy who awakened with cry. The
gang sIi.ang upon him, beat and choked

mouth. He was then picked up bodily
and carried several hundred yards
down the t.; elk, where one of the men
stood guard with a drawn revolver
while the others returned to crack the
safe.
They were evidently experts at the
work, for one charge blew the heavy
door from the safe, and sent it crash
ing against the ceiling, leaving the con-
tents exposed to view. The cash box
was removed and the cracksmen Joined
their companion, who was still guard
ing the Italian, who was half dead
from fear and the beating the sturdy
thieves had given him.
He was carried some further distance
down the track and united. Then,
with terrible threats of what would be
done to him in case he gave the alarm
at once, the cracksmen vanished in the
darkness.

People who suffer from tired eyes
will be glad to. learn how a noted
French author accidentally discovered
an excellent remedy. 1t is simple
method of restoring the vision to fresh
ness when. after reading or writing for
some time, your eyes begin to ache.
One night while the author was en-
gagged in writing an article his eyes
gave out before he could finish and he
was compelled to stop. SO, turning
from his unfinished manuscript, his
eyes fell upon some scraps of cOlored
silk that his wife had been using for
patchwork. These gay colors had
peculiar attraction for his wearied OPP
tics. On resuming his work after gaz-
ing at them for several minutes he
found his eyes quite fresh. After
several experiments he surrounded his
inkstand with brilliantly colored
striped silk material, that his eyes
might rest on them every time he
dipped his pen into the ink. This
brings instant relief.

The white people of Jamaica cele-

Kris Kringle do in his fur raiment and
with his RENDERS in a land where few
indeed of the people know what snow
is and fewer still ever saw it. Outdoor
sport is out Of the question, and even
lawn tennis Cannot be substituted for
the skating and tObOgganing of the
north. The white people sit or swing
in hammocks under the cool shade Of
the palm trees and look with curious
interest over the holiday numbers of
English and American magazines, with
their strange pictures of snow scenes,
and read the stories of Christmastide
in the land of Kris Kringle and Jack
Frost. After shutdown there are social
gatherings, at which the guests sit out
on the verandas, eat ice cream, fan
themselves and while away the even

celebrating Fourth of July while ice

not without its compensating advan-
tages, and although Christmas here is
apt to be a pretty lonesome time to
Americans, they are very apt to find
cause for congratuation after the fes-
tive season is over in the fact that they
are safe from the cold, the snow, tie

TREATMENT OF RUGS.
How to Keep Them Clean and Avoid
Wearing Them Out.

The manager Of a Chicago carpet de-
Pzrtment, whose knowledge brings him
an annual income of $4,000, advised
the following treatment for valuable
rugs: Lay them wrong side ~ on the
grass, beat with a furniture beaten, re-
verse and sweep carefully, a soft brush
being the preference or Il good carpet
sEeeper. A little airing outside of the
suns rays is good occasionally, when
they may be carried in the house.

Ing and beating, says Good Housekeep-
ting. The plan of putting them upon
line every two or three weeks or even
once a month and there having them
whipped is not to be commended if the
rugs are Of any value. When a rug is
to be thoroughly cleaned, it should be
sent where the work is properly done
or else washed at home When the
surface becomes soilcd. it can be
washed with no fear OF niurl4g tie
colors, since the majority Of oriental
rugs are washed repeatedly before
reaching this country, and the dyes
used are thereby mellowed ana ell
rched
The best method of washing a large
rug is to stretch and tack it upon
clean floor then scour it well with
soapsuds. After the securing it must
be thoroughly rinsed to remove all
trace of the animal matter in the soaps
after which it should not be removed
until it is perfectly dried. Then it viii
not shrink and will lie perfectly fiat
upon the floor. A small rug may be
tackled upon the side of the house or
barn, secured as if on a floor and then
rinsed with a hose.

will see the holy Christ in his dreams
that night. In the evening the real eel
