One Medal Winner.

Among the awards recently made by
the trustees Of the Carnegie hero
fund" was one of a bronze medal to
Louis A. Bauman, Jr., aged seventeen,
for saving a companion from drown
ing while swimming last July. At that
time Bauman was a farm hand in
Penn township, Allegheny County,
Pa. Now he is a water boy in a coal
mine at Rodi, a few miles from Pitts
burg. A representative of the Car
|negie fund went to Rodi recently to
find Bauman and tell him Of the dis
tinction awarded him. He found a
youth, his days work done, sitting by
the roadside with his dinner pail,
|munching an apple. A Pittsburg dis
patch thus relates the ensuing inter-
view:
"Know where a fellow named Louis
IA. Bauman lives?' asked the Carnegie
representative.
yep" mrmbled the lad with the
apple.
"Where?"
Here" said he Of the core, slap
ping his grimy bosom.
"Well, do you know that the Car
|negie hero commission has awarded
you a medal for saving life"
"Wot?' The announcement was re-
peated.

EYESIGHT FAILS
ARTIFICIAL LluHT FIRE.
QU.NTlY THE CAUSE.

xl:uminants OF the Past, One and All,
Have Serious Defects-Acetylene nas,
4 With Its Clear, Unwavering, Yet Soft
Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes.
New York, June 20.-No II can go
q into our schools sr meet a group of
: children on the street without noticing
how large a number of them wear
s~pectacles. The proportion seems to
increase yearly, and there are many
8more who ought to wear glasses. The
experience of one teacher might be du-
plicated by the score. She knew Alice
was inattentive and she thought she
! was unusually stupid. She said So
Ito the principal and sent a note to
the mother, requesting that the child
De helped at home if she wished her
Ito keep up with her class. One day
after a blackboard explanation, the
teacher called upon the child and found
that she had not seen what had been
written. She was kept after school
and by dint of much sympathetic q1es-
tioning Miss G. found that Alice had
anever been able to see what was put
on the board and that her head had
= ached so often and so hard that she
Frequently failed to hear what was
|said.
j Such a condition may be caused by
lack Of proper food, but in u Ameri-
can homes it is usually due to the poor
1quality Of the artificial light. The yell
low, insufficient light of the ordinary
kerosene lamp, with its smoky CHM
ney, is about as bad for the eyes as
can be imagined. The Pickering light
from a coal gas jet is but little better,
and even the electric light, brilliant
as it usually is, has an ~unsteadiness
: due to variations in power, and a glare
peculiarly trying to the delicate nerves
of sight. The comparatively new IL
luminant acetylene gas produces as
. nearly perfect. an artificial light as has
yet been found. 1t gives a clear white,
unwayering light, very brilliant, yet
perfectly soft, and so nearly like the
rays Of the sun that even colors ap-
pear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced, and the simple
I apparatus necessary car be purchased
and installed in any home at a very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where a light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
X Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches,
schools and institutions Of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that as
its use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, particu-
larry among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
4 will undoubtedly be much reduced by
i the use of this new illuminant.

Happiness in Spite Of Deprivations.

If I am so happy in spite of my depri.
vations, if my happiness is so deep
that it is q faith, so thoughtful that it
becomes a philosophy of life, my testi-
mony to the creed of optimism is worth
hearing. My optimism does not rest
on the absence Of evil. I can say with
conviction that the struggle which
evil necessitates is one of the greatest
blessings. 1t teaches us that, al
though the world is full of suffering,
it is full also of the overcoming of it.
My optimism rests on a glad belief
in the preponderance of good and a
willing effort always to cooperate with
the good that it may prevail. I try to
increase the power God has given me
to see the best in everything and every
one, and make that best a part Of my
life. To what is good I open the doors
of my being, and jealousy shut them
against what is bad.-Helen Keller.

Ever Tried Coffee This WAY?

1t is a we1l-known fact that even the
best of ~hcusekeepers cannot make really
good coffee without having the proper ma
terials.
They will NEVER make it with coffee Of
doubtful origin, adulterated, ,queerly
blended, and possibly dirty coffee that has,
perhaps, been mixed up with all kinds OK
other things on the counter.
But let them take a package OF LION
CoFFEE-the purest and cleanest--and the
brand universally used throughout the UNI
ted States for over twenty-five years. Mill
ions drink it daily, and get the best re-
suits if it is made in the following way:
Try it once and you will never want to
try any other brand of coffee.
HOW TO MAKE GOOD COFFEE.
Use LION COFFEE, because to get best
results YOU must use the best coffee.
Grind you LION COFFEE rather line.
Use a Tablespoonful to each cup, and one
extra for the pot" First mix it with .
little cold water, enough to make a thick
paste, and add white Of an egg ,lif egg is to
be used as a s~ettler), then follow n OF
the following rules: -.

Wedding eIfts From Pet Animals,

Several of the seasons brides have
received very handsome presents from
the pet dogs and cats and other animals
in the households of friends. Two
pet dogs recently sent a bridge aspara-
gus tongs, the cats selected a cake bas-
ket of unique pattern and the canary
bird made a happy choice af after
dinner coffee cups. So that when q
whole battalion of animals are attached
to a fashionable home, and something
may be expected from each, it is really
a matter of serious consideration

Links in Gods Providence.

John Clough, whom readers Of the
Rams Horn have been aiding in his
extended missionary labors in India,
little thought when he was studying
engineering, solving pe%rplexing prob
lens, surveying land, building G rail-
way, and making roads, that he was
forging links in Gods providence for
the salvation of ten thousand Telugus
in one year. This knowledge Of engi-
neering led him to apply for the Gov
eminent contract for building a canal.
He employed five thousand natives,
and preached for one month on the
same text, God so loved the world"
Then he dismissed the first five thou
sand and employed five thousand more
for the next month, and at the end of
the year there were 10000 Telugus'
ready to be baptized. And all that
hinged upon Clough's knowledge of
engineering.

for separate waists and shirt waist

The Shoes.

About the only part of the costume
that does not have to match is the
shoes. Colored kid is not yet fashion
able, although the colorcd pat is an
old story. The new models in shoes
are rather odd, and women with extra
high insteps will find some difficulty in
being suited. The vamps Of the new
shoes seem to be extraordinarily long.
Extension soles are seen on many walk
ing shoes, and the swing sole, which
came IN a year ago, is on hand again,
very much exaggerated.

A Good Mans Humility.

An appeal was made one Sabbath
evening in q church for volunt ers to
work for Christ, No sooner was the
appeal made than ! Mr.. Ketchum, 4
wealthy New York merchant, rose up
and offered his services to the pastor.
The minister said, In what way, Mr..
Ketchum" and the reply was, las q
hod carrier" What he meant "a
that he was willing to serve in any
humble capacity in which he could be
most useful. How often have I
thought of that good mans humility.

he went from house to house asking
parents to send their children to the
Sabbath-school that was connected
with his church.

Real improvements.

The little Baltimore girl was talking
with a visitor. They discussed many
things, says the New York Tribune.
THE little girl felt that it was really a
I~"grown-up" conversation, as they de-

|other evils of modern life.
Then, for a time, the little girl was
silent. She was lost in thought.
Finally she sighed and said:
