WHERE eYE.sIeHr is GOOD.
Best Where Distances Are Vast and
Obstacles Are Few.

The best eyesight is possessed by
those people whose lands are vast and
barren, and where obstacles tending
to shorten the sight are few. Esqui-
maux will detect white fox In the
snow at a great distance away, while
the Arabs OF the desert have such ex-
IRENE powers Of vision that on the
vast plains of the desert they will pick
out objects invisible to the ordinary
eye at ranges from one to ten miles
distant. Among civilized people the
Norwegians have better eyesight than
most. If not all. others, as they more
generally fulfil the necessary condi
lions. The reason why defective eyes
are so much on the increase in Amer.
ca lies in too much study OF books
in early life and in badly-lighted
rooms.

Mioht Have Been Worse.

Notwithstanding her tender years,
Catharine's characteristics are in evil
dence; and the most pronounced of
them all is the unfailing tendency, in
the most narrowing situations, to look
ON the bright side.
On one occasion, having got hold
of a hammer, she ambitiously en-
deavored to drive tack into the wall,
on which to hang her dolls hat. At
ter repeated failures to hit the trouble
some tack by clutching the hammer
in both fat hands and thus delivering
a terrific blow, she next tried holding
the tack in one hand and dealing a
less powerful stroke with the hammer
in the other hand The result of this
experiment brought the whole family
running to the nursery.
After the damaged finger had been
bathed and kissed and bandaged, in
the midst of various consultations and
considerations, GATHERINGS tears be-
gan to stop and her philosophy to rise.
'@It don't hurt so awful bad now,
mama. Sides, when my finger got
hit, I was jus holdin' the hammer in
only one han'-an' JUS s'pose I'd been
.strikin' with both hands!"

Singing Girls of Korea.

One of the attractive personalities
encountered in Korea is the singing
girl. At the social gatherings and fes-
rivals of the wealthy she serves the
guests and then sings, plays the guitar
and recites. These girls, although from
the humblest order, are well educated
from a Korean point of view and their
services are in great demand. They
can be hired singly or in numbers,
according to the needs of the host,
and they enliven many a feast which,
except for their presence, would be
simply en- excuse for commanding.
most Koreans being gross feeders.
AS religious and social festivals are
occurring constantly in Korea, the
pretty singing girls are kept busy, no
entertainment being thought worth
while without their presence.

stands, about $50 yards east of the

were firing the remnant of ammuni-

Tobacco in oIden Times.

Master ssPrynne, the weak, we'll
meaning puritan, who is 1853 wrote
an attack upon the stage, tells us
that in his day tobacco pipes were
offered to ladies at the theater in lieu
of apples between the acts. French
traveller, M. Torevin de Rochefort,
who published his journal in 1877,
confirms this by telling us that he
found smoking a general custom in
England, as well among women as
among men. Both sexes, he adds, held
that life without tobacco would be in
to1erab1e, because they say it dissi-
pates the evil humors of the brain"
When ladies stopped smoking they
took to snuff. Women of quality about
a century ago would not stir without
their snuffboxes- enameled

and her grace of Marlborough: "The
nation is governed by pair of snuff

here and married.
On the other side of the street, and
not far away, stands the house where,
Oct 16, 1896, William Pitt Fessenden
son of Gen. Samuel Fessenden and
Ruth Green, was born. His brilliant
talents may be judged from the fact
that he was graduated from Bowdoin
college in his 18th year.
Another son of Boscawen whose
name will be remembered by many a
reader is Charles Carleton Coffin, the
famous war correspondent of the civil
war and later the author of many vol
umeS. He was quite an electrical
engineer, constructing the telegraph
line that put the astronomical Observ-
atory of Harvard in connection with
other observatorieS. He also had
charge of the installation of the first
fire alarm system of Boston, under the
care of Prof. Farmer, the celebrated
electrical inventor, also a son of Bos-
cawen. and rung in the first alarm
ever given by telegraph, April 30,

many words like these to differ in
the spelling of theis last syllables A
grammarian explains that the differ

sources. some words being Germanic
and others Latin. For the Germanic
roots add Ger" in worker" while the
Latin roots add orr in factor" There
is the Germanic speaker and the

How Jefferson Gave a Treat to a

q very charming incident in which the

President McAlister had introduced
Mr. Jefferson, who had made his adj

to leave, when the doctor told him
how delighted certain art student
would be if she could meet him. This
girl was brought every day in her roll
er chair and had been a shut-in up TO
that time
The veteran actor was delighted.
So was the girl.
He talked, and talked well, and she
listened.
In the course of the conversation
he learned that not only had she new
er seen him act, but that she never
had been to theater, and didn't think
it possible to go.
That was enough for Joe Jefferson
1t was arranged in less time than it
takes to tell it to have her brought to
