Farmer Victims.

Concluding his prediction that the
corn crop of 1902 will be record
breaker, Paul Morton has this to say
about the farmers:
There is no gainsaying the fact that
the farmers as class are fast growing
rich, and the time will come in my
Judgment when they will be the richest
people in the country, taken as a class.
Furthermore, the time is coming when
the farmers of the Mississippi Valley.
and | use this term in its brOadest
sense, will be the richest farmers in
the world"
This used to be true even of the
farmers of the stony, hilly and sterile
lands of the East. COvetOusness Of
the wealth Of the American farmer is
what furnished the energy with which
the protective tariff conspiracy against
him was pushed. He fell into the trap
that was set for him and from his
toll and savings have been amassed
many Of the stupendous fortunes
which the monopoly tariff has rolled
up.
Actuated politically as they now are,
the farmers of the West are likely to
continue an easy prey to the exactions
of the tariff cormorants. which will
keep pace with the wealth which they

VISION TOO RESTRICTED.

Eyesight of Residents of Cities Suffers
from Closencss of Objects.
speaking of the practice of wearing
glasses" said a well-known optician in
Canal street, there is curious thing
about the human eye that the average
person is constantly overlooking. We
talk q great deal about the influence
of color. about glare and all that sort
of thing. Unquestionably color has
great deal to do with the weakness of
the human eye at this time. Glare
figures as an important factor in the
impairment of the human sight. In the
matter of color there is so much riot
ing in these latter days that the eye
is kept in an almost constant strain.
Red is violently red, green violently
green, and so on. until the eye is SIM
ply strained beyond the normal IN an
effort to visualize the hue, and hence
the optic nerves are in a measure
the greatest danger when We come TO
think of modern tendencies SO far as
the human eye Is concerned. There
are other conditions which are ,nfinite-
ly more injurious than the matter Of
color. The glare is bad enough. too.
The electric and incandescent lighrs
are simply fearful on ones eyesight.
But the thing 1 quarrel with more
than any other influence is the condi-
ton which limits the scope of ones
vision. The eye should have broad
range. One should have the opportu-
nifty of seeing long distance. We are
denied this opportunity. We are hem
med and hedged in until the distance
we are capable of seeing is very short
indeed. This is why l am a strong
advocate of parks and promenades.
Green is naturally restful color"
said the optician in conclusion, accord
ing to the New Orleans Times Demo
crat, land if the city could be provided
with long avenues and splendid parks
where ones eyes could stretch out in
q long vista it would be a great thing"

How Secretary Moody Worka.

! Secretary Moody considers exercise
/ IN tue open air an absolute necessity
to good health and he takes it daily be-
fore and after office hours. In order
that ii shall not interfere with public
business. however. he remains at the
department from the time il opens in
| the morning until all the business of
the day has been disposed of in the
aft--nOOn. The only times he is away
are when the cabinet is in session or
when il is otherwise necessary to con
suit personally with the President or
some other member of the cabinet.
His iuea is to do all his work during
office hours and To have as much Of the
daylight as he can for exercise and rec
reation. And that is why he is the only
member of the Presidents cabinet who
doesn't go home or elsewhere TO get his
luncheon. He eats his noontime meal
at his desk, and even while so engaged
continues the consideration and dis
patch of public business. 1t is an ex-
ceedinsly simple meal with him. usual
ly consisting OF q sandwich or two and
glass of milk. Even then he does not
insist upon privacy, and if there are
persons desiring. to see him on public
business they are admitted 10 his pres
ence in the order of their arrival with
out delay.
1t thus has happened, says the Wash
ington Star. that he has talked affairs
Of state with visitors while giving nour
ishment to the inner man. 1t is most
democratic proceeding on his part. but
is performed in a refined and unob-
trusive manner. Important questions
have been considered by him under
such circumstances and he does not
hesitate TO lay aside his luncheon and
affix his name to papers requiring his
signature.

MuSic in Cou,n.

OF battles recent slaughterS
The summer clouds lay pitched like tent
In meads of heavenly azure;
And each dread gun Of the element
Slept in its hid embrasure
The breeze so softly blew, it made
No forest leaf to quiver,
And the smoke of the random cannonadl
Rolled slowly for the river.
And now. where circling hills looked
down,
With cannon grimly planted,
Der listless camp and silent town.
The golden sunset slanted
When on the fervid air there came
y strain-now rich. now tender;
The music seemed itself afiame
With days departing splendor.

Played measures brave and nimble.
Had just struck up. with flute and horn
And lively clash of cymbal.
Down ilocked the soldiers to the banks.

One wooded shore was blue with

And one was gray with Rebels"
Then all was still, and the band.
With movement light and tricksy.

Reverberate with Dixie
The conscious stream with FURNISHED
glow
Went proudly DER its pebbles.
But thrilled throughout its deepest flow
With yelling of the Rebels
Again pause, and then again
The trumpets pealed Sonorous.
And Yankee Doodle" was the strain
To which the shore gave chorus.
The laughing ripple shoreward few
To kiss the shining pebbles:
Loud shrieked the swarming boys in blue
Defiance TO the Rebels.
And yet once more the bugles sang
Above the stormy riot:
No shout upon the evening rang
There reigned 4 holy quiet.
The sad. slow stream in noiseless food
Poured Ger the glistening pebbles:
All silent now the Yankees stood
And silent stood the Rebels.
No unresponsive soul had heard
That plaintive notes appealing.
So deeply Home. Sweet Home" had

Bend in their beauty DER him:
Seen through the tear-mist in his eyes,

As fades the iris after rain
In Aprirs fearful weather,
The vision vanished. as the strain
And daylight died together
But memory, walked by music's art.
Expressed in simplest numbers.
Subdued the sternest Yankees heart,
Made light the Rebels slumbers.
