Persons travelling by railway are
subject to continued annoyance from
the flying cinders. On getting into the
eyes they are not only painful for the
moment, but are often the cause of
long suffering that ends in total loss
of sight. A very simple and effective
cure is within the reach of every one
and would prevent much suffering and
expense were it generally known. It is
simply one or two grains of flaxseed.
These may be placed in the eye with
out injury or pain to that delicate or
gan, and shortly they begin to swell
and dissolve a glutinous substance that
covers the ball of the eye, enveloping
any foreign substance that may be in
it. The irritation of cutting the mem
brane is thus prevented, and the an
noyance may soon be washed out. A
dozen of these grains slowed away in
the vest pocket may prove in an emer-
gency worth their number in gold.

Took the Order Literally.

A suburban golf club has japanese
steward named Ocka. He is an ex-
cellent cook and his neatness and good
taste are beyond question, but he has
very slight knowledge of English,
and this sometimes causes him to
make ludicrous mistakes. A young
woman gave a tea at the clubhouse
and sent for Ocka a few days ahead of
time, so that all the details of her
party might be perfected. She ar
ranged for everything and at the end
said: "Now Ocka, at the tea we must
have apple pie order" ''Yes, madam,
apple pie" Ocka returned. mo, apple
pie ORDER" said the young girl. "All
right. Me understand. Apple pie"
Ocka repeated with an obstinate smile.
"Apple pie ORDER" the other corrected
again, and Ocka took his leave. He
served at the tea along with the dainty
little sandwiches and cake twenty huge
pieces of apple pie. = Philadelphia

The Danish Treaty Ratified.

On last Monday, Feb. II, 1902, in
a little less than one hours time, the
Senate disposed of the treaty with
Denmark, ceding to the United States
for the price of 80, 900, 900 the islands
of st. Thomas, st. John, st. Croix and
anumber of smaller islands or "keys,"
known as the Danish West Indies,
and lying just east of Porto Rico
Thus, so far as this country is con-
cerned, is closed and consummated a
transaction which has been under con-
sideration internationally for the last
forty years-since the ton
of President Lincoln. The Island of
st. Thomas is famous for possessing
the largest and best protected natu-
raj harbor in the world. 1t is almost
surrounded by high hills and bluffs of
the mainland, and directly'across the
mouth of the harbor lies small is
land, whose high hills completely in
tercept storms from that quarter. 1t
is said to be SO large and roomy that
more than a hundred big battleships
could ride safely at anchor within its
deep and well protected limits. Stu
ted as it is, directly in the path of the
Caribbean hurricanes, or within easy
reach Of the proposed Panama canal,
and all the other American interests
in that quarter, it becomes at once
valuable United States possession.
