: Eye Exercise.

An exercise which, If perseveringiy
practiced, will greatly strengthen the
eyes and which has entirely restored
many cases of impaired vision, so that
spectacles and eyeglasses were dis
carded, is to turn the eyes upward and
downward alternately, as far as posi-
BILE, twenty times, says writer In the
New York Herald. Don't pause In the
upward glance. The motion Is inces-
SAINT, but not fastened. Next turn the
eyes to right and to left, repeating 40
before. Turn them to the upper left
corner and the diverse, or diagonally-
that is, to lower right corner. Repeat.
Turn them to the upper right corner
and Its diverse. Repeat. Conclude the
exercise with rolling the eyes around,
first to the right, then to the left, In
the extreme limit Of the muscular ex-
tension. being careful, however, not to
strain the muscles.
Il the exercise Is repeated at conven-
fence several times during the day, 1t
will soon strengthen the muscles.

A Terrible Weapon.

The weapon common to every part
Of Hindustan, so as to deserve the
| name of the national arm, is the "ka-
tar" This is broad, two edged dag
ger, the hilt Of which Is formed some
thing like an Fl, the hand grasping the
crossbar, which is generally double,
while the side bars extend ON each side
Of the wrist.
Some katars are made with five
blades, which unite into one, but by
squeezing together the crossbars d.
verge like the fingers of hand when
the thrust has been given. Other ka-
tars are made in sets of two or even
three, of diminishing sizes, the blades
of the larger being hollow and forming
sheaths for the smaller. Some Of the
southern Indian katars, known as
death givers," are immense weapons,
nearly two feet long in the blade, and
the hilts are a mass Of fantastic scroll
work and NEUROLOGICAL holsters, the
cobra with expanded hood figuring
largely. There is also the ''bich'hwa,"
or scorpions sting, a doubIy curved
dagger; the "khanjar," larger form
of the same, and the 'peshkabz," or
hunting knife. But none Of these elab-
crate weapons has about 1t the terri
bly, "businesslike'' look Of the Khyber
knife (ch'hura). with Its ponderous SIN
gle edged, tapering blade and plain
ivory hilt-Chambers' Journal.

THE DEMAGoGUE.

The friend OF the working man is not
he who works with his jaws and not
with his hands Not he who is always
ready to make grand-stand play to the
gallery; not he who is inflated with his
own self importance and has the
conceit to believe that it is in his
power and influence to sway the
multitude, but, who, finally, like others
must give way to some other man who
will be on with a greater dash and -four
ish in the grand-stand play. The friend
of the horny handed is, after all, the man
who will speak truthfully and without
aaftery, who will advise discreetly and
conservativeiy and who is not in politics

sonai ambition As class and a rule
working people, the toi1ers on the farms,
in the shops, III trades and various oc-
equations, are intelligent and we'll in

Ffnland.

Finland Is larger than England, ire
land. Scotland and the Netherlands
combined. It has its own constitution,
which was framed In 1772. This In
strument was modified and changed
when, In 1909, the grand dnchy was
ceded to the emperor of Russia, but 1t
still provides for national parliament,
In which the four estates-the mobiles,
the clergy, the burghers and the peas

Animal superstitiens.

There are many animals that the gu
Derstitious consider 1t unlucky to kill.
Among them may be mentioned lady
bird, martin, robin, a stork and a
money spider, while to kill a wren
means that you will break a bone be-
fore the year IL out. Many animals are
also supposed to herald death, and sd
perstihons In this direction are 30 nu-
merous that only a few can be men
toned here. The most commonly
known Ii the clicking or tapping Of
the beetle called death watch, which
is reckoned as an omen OF death to
some one In the house.
The bowling Of dog at night near
house Is supposed to predict the death
Of sick inmate, as also the setting of
white pigeon on a house BODIES death
TO some one In the house, while, again,
an old saying among the superstitious
runs, No person can die on bed or
pillow containing the feathers Of
white pigeon"
That the gnawing of furniture by
rats presages death is also common
superstition. To meet certain animals
Is considered lucky, while to meet 9th
ers il the reverse. For instance, to
meet 4 SOW with a litter of pigs Is very
lucky, but 1t is unlucky if SOW
crosses travellers path. To meet
weasel is lucky, but should a hare run
across the road In front Of you It
augurs bad fortune.

saueakins sands.

Singing sands are found In many
parts Of the United States, but squeak
ing sands are not so common. The sing
ing sand emits musical sound only
when dry and loses this properly on
being dampened. The squeaking sand,
on the other hand, is silent when dry
and squeaks best and loudest when
moistened. The sound It gives forth is
by no means loud, but somewhat re-
sembles the squeaking of an armchair.
It sounds when rubbed between the
fingers or when placed in small bag
and violently struck, but the cause Of
the sound Is a mystery.

He says that the building is ready

before it will receive the finishing

had at any factory or mill where it is
manufactured, and this fact is likely
to delay the completion of the new
