CARE OF THE EYES.
Some Simple Rules Which viii Tend
to Preserve tho Siaht.


An eminent physician lays down
these simple laws on the general
care of the eyes for persons who
wish TO retain the strength of their
eyesight to green old age:
When reading, writing, drawing,
sewing or engaged in similar work
always take care that the room is
comfortably cool, that the feet are
warm, that there is nothing tight
about the neck and that there is
plenty of light. Be sure that the
sun does not shine directly on the
object you are at work on or on OBJ
jects N front of you and that the
light comes from over the left shoul-
der. The head should not be bent
much in reading. The page should
be nearly perpendicular to the line
of sight. 1t should not be less than
ten inches from the eyes.
Do not habitually lie down when
reading.
Never study or write before break
fast by artificial light.
Avoid reading or sewing by twi-
light or when debilitated by recent
illness, especially fever.
When the eyes have any dcfec:
avoid fine needlcwork, drawing of
fine maps and all such employment
except lor very short tasks, not cx-
ceeding half an hour each.
Never play tricks" with the eyes,
such as squirting, rolling them, and
so on.
In all forms of labor requiring
the exercise of vision on minute
subjects the worker should rise from
his task now and then, take few
deep inspirations with the mouth
closed, stretch the frame, throw The
arms backward and forward and, if
possible, step to window or into
the open air, if only for moment.
Reading in moving car certain
ly involves an undesirable strain and
should be avoided as far as practical
BILE. If you will read, obtain books
or papers with large type.
The eyes are often affected when
the stomach is out of order. Con-
suit an oculist wsthout delay for Sc
rious or persistent weakness or pain
of the eyes.

Smuggling In Old England.

Smuggling was very generally
practiced in England in former
times. A London journal says:
Hardly a family upon our coast
line has not smuggling record.
Lcrd Shaftesbury, father of the
philanthropist, sat at dinner at
Heron court with the last of the
Hooper family, chairman OF GUS
toms, when, with q great shouting
and clatter, cavalcade of snug
glers with wagon loads of smuggled
spirits dashed into view. Shaftes-
bury sprang to the window and
called his host. The chairman of
customs sat down resolutely with
his back to the window, nor would
he move until the last echo of the
train had died away. When, ten
minutes later, o troop of mounted
excise men pulled up at his door, he
was truthfully able to say that he
had seen nothing of the lawless
ones"

Jerusalem at the Worlds Fair.

Many remarkable things are being
prepared for the Worlds Fair, but
none that surpass interest the repro
duction of Jerusalem, the Holy City,
as it stands in Palestine to-day.
Here, for the first time, city is
being reproduced, and that city the
one of all the world most intensely
interesting to Christendom.
1t is an actual city, built Of wood
and staff, and of actual size so far as
the area that is being rebuilt goes.
1t occupies over eleven acres Of
land and includes practically all the
features of the Holy City which ar,
Of deep interest to the student.
When the World Fair opens, nothing
will be lacking TO show life in the
modern city Of the Great King as it
really is-with Moslem and Jew and
Christian dwelling in separated quar-
ters or mingliug together in the
curious and quaint marts Of trade.
Here the Mohammedan will find his
sacred mosque, the jew his syna-
goguc, the Christian his church or
chapel. Here each will walk about
familiar streets, dwell in a house
identical in pattern with that in which
he dwells at home, and engage in the
same trade or other occupation that
engages his time and talents in the
real Jerusalem.

Perfecting q Potato.

San Francisco, February 25.-
Luthec Burbank, who developed the
potato bearing his name and who has
brought out seedless plum, has just
produced new potato which, he
thinks, will supplant the present
varieties. He is now trying to make
it little larger. With the skill he
has in being able to produce large or
small varieties at will, this achieve
ment is only matter of time.
About year and half ago Mr..
Burbank secured from remote part
of South America some potatoes to
work upon. He crossed and recrossed
and reorossed plants, and to-day says
that he has between 10000 and 30 900
varieties of new potatoes under his
care.
The new potato will be sweeter than
the old one. Its pulp Will be almost
carrot hue and will be very palatable.
MIR. Burbank says the new kind of
potato will revolutionize the potato
industry.

An lnaportan. Announcement.

Sam Davis, the editor of the Vir-

Comparatively small as the world

OF civilization, there are many pc we
living in mountain and forest regions
who never saw locomotive or rail.

Senator Dubois tells funny story.
The man was a Kentucky mountain
eer who had not seen a railway en-
gine.
He had gone to the nearest station
to see the transportation wonder,
arriving ahead of schedule time, so
that the train could not steal by him
unawares. After while he started
out to meet the belated locomotive.
lie met it as it rounded curve.
Turning about, the mountaineer ran
along the track as for his life. "Toot,
toot, sounded the locomotive, slowing
up; but the mountaineer only dug the
gravel more industriously than ever.
lie soon reached the station, com
pietely out Of breath. why didn't

bystanders. "Cut across?" roarcd
