Eu.straln ~ sohonE Life.

Examinations of over 100000 pain.
of eyes and careful tabulation of the
results in the Boston public schools
show that nearly all children enter the
primary schools with normal eyes. In
the higher grades onefourth of the
pupils are myopic. and in universities
this increases until from GO to 20 per
cent OF the students are myopic. In
other words, nearsightedness in'
creases steadily from the lower
to the higher grades, and in exact pro-
portion to the length of time devoted
to the eyestrain Of school life.

Thinks ne Is an Engine.

There is now in the county Jail at
Ann Arbor, Mich, awaiting a vacancy
in the Pontiac asylum, young man
who imagnes he Is a train of cars.
He spends nearly all his time in initial
ing the noises attendant on starting up
and stopping a railroad train. Every
sound and movement he produces with
startling fidelity and detail. When
the officer found him he was on the
railroad track, and from his actions
was just getting up steam. Soon be
said 1t was time to start, ordered the
fireman to fill the tank with water and
the tender with coal, Initiating every
act perfectly. Then he pulled out the
lever and started the train, running
so fast that 1t was necessary to head
him off with horse. His whistle for
down breaks" can be heard a mile
He is about II years old.

4 Bright Little Ne1.boy Answers 2 lady.
In a Smart and Caustio Manner.
A small and dirty newsboy worked
paying game for a week or so down in
the shopping districts, says Chicago
Tribune. He would don a most pa
thetic expression, go up to woman and
say, "Missis, won't you buy paper?
Dis is my blrfday and amt sold
hardly any" or course he would sell
one in nine cases out of ten and would
generally get nickel and be told to
keep the change. He must have kept
this up fully week and reaped a
bountiful harvest. At last one young
woman who had tired of the same story
and who became rather skeptical on the
subject Of the birthdays" stopped the
young genius and remarked in tones
clear enough to be heard some little
Instance, See here, little boy, what
did you say about your birthday"
Lady, please buy a paper; dis is my
birfday, and amt sold but one paper
to-day" whined the young rascal.
"Now, little boy, to my certain
knowledge you have had a birthday
every day this week. Aren't you
ashamed to tell such storles?"
He was cornered for minute and
stood with head cast down and every
appearance of remorse At last he
looked up with a most innocent express
sion and said: well, you see. lady,
you en- me we're different. l amt very
old. en- l thought I'd have lot of birf-
days to oncet, en- den could quit
havln' 'em, like you See?'
She concluded he was past reforming
and, slipping a dime in his hand, moved
on signing over the wickedness of the
generation, while the young sinner exc
cuted a pas seul of his own invention.

The great fur market OF the world

Every year the fur merchants have

Irbit in time to I'LL whole library OF

must hasten back to Russia again To-
prepare them for further sale and
then they usually hurry to LEIPZIG in
Germany. which, in addition to being
the great book-selling center OF Eu-

of the world west OF Russia.
