Personal and Political Enmit1es.

When Irishmen do differ, they differ
all over. There are plenty OF 1rishmen
in the House of Commons who have
not exchanged a word with each other
for years. Indeed, during the days
when the old split subsisted it was
quite a common thing to see Irishmen
separate themselves even in the din
ing-rooms according to the group to
which they belonged. In France it is
pretty much the same thing, for there
political differences follow the same
lines as religious and social %cleavages,
and, therefore, are the more acute. I
never expect a French politician to
speak of a political opponent in any
terms but those which would rightly
be applied to a man who ought to be in
penal servitude and had just escaped
the gallows. But even in France there
are mitigations. Old Grevy, when he
was President of the Chamber Of Dep
uties-although he was q very stout
Republican-used to play billiards with
Paul de Cassagnac, the swashbuckling
Bonapartist. In Germany the Social
lists are so bitter in their hostility to all
other sections of the imperial Parlia-
ment that any one Of them who would
venture to accept an invitation from
Count Buelow, the Chancellor, would
lose all his influence with his col
league; in fact, be would be politically
ruined.-T. P, in NJ. A. P.

A Grave Error,

Advertising men are critical of their
own and others productions. They
criticise the ad. or booklet from the
standpoint of technicalities. Is the
language Observation-Disclosures
cal? Is there an original idea, and is
it we'll worked out? Is the Illustrators
work clean-cut and effective? Is the
printing all it should be? The reader
Of advertising is critical, too. But his
or her criticism is entirely from the
standpoint Of the article offered-its
quality, utility, price. Good printing,
clear language, pretty illustrations and
fine ideas are hardly regarded, though
readers are swayed by them beyond
question, and perhaps criticise them
unconsciously. But the proposition set
forth is the chief consideration with
the reader, and while the advertiser
should never lose sight Of technical de-
tails he will co well 10 remember that
his opinions Of good advertising arc
quite secondary to those of his readers.
10 look upon advertising entirely from
the technical standpoint is to make a
grave error.-Printers' Ink.

How to Spend n Million.

I have often heard people speculate
how such and such n millionaire can
possibly spend his income, said a well.
known art critic to a writer in London
Tit-Bits. Personally, if I had a million
a year I should find it the simplest
matter in the world to get through
every penny of it and yet live in my
present simple style. Why, I could get
rid of it comfortably in a month in
cultivating a single hobby-collecting
pictures and bric-a-brac.
There are heaps of pictures which
you might cover twenty deep with
sovereigns and yet not produce enough
gold to buy them, and you can see
some of them any day by walking into
The National Gallery. Take that mod
%est-looking little canvas, Terburg's
peace of Munster" There is less
than three square feet of it, but, if
you would buy it, every square foot
would cost you $500 ($17,50O. Then
there is Corregio's "Vierge au Panier,"
an exquisite little painting, certainly,
but you would probably cease to covet
it if you were told that nothing less
than thirty layers of sovereigns, cover
ing every square inch Of it, would
make it yours.

Teaching School in Persia.

Persians servants are always sum-

as Children When Mr.. Wilfred
Sparrow became tutor to the children
Of the royal family of Persia he was
greatly amused by the daily customs
of the little princes. He tells of his
first day in the schoolroom:

he came with a silver teapot in bic

soon after by an interlude in which
our friend, the major, in full dress
was summoned by Bahram Mira, the
imperious, to clean his slate.
These Interruptions tickled my sense

achieved a more useful end than that.

A Maine Steer.

A curious story comes from Arrowsic.
A farmer in that little village has two
young steers which he keeps tied up
in the centre of his large barn. To
reach the hay NOW in the barn he has
constructed steps of bales of pressed
hay. One night recently the family
went to a dance, and upon. driving the
team into the barn, shortly after the
midnight hour. it was seen that n Of
the animals had disappeared. 1t was
thought that somebody had let him
out of the barn, but looking into The
hay NOW they saw Mr.. Steer quietly
feeding. 1t took half a day to get him
back with his mate.-Kennebec Jour-

TRAINING THE SIGHT.

1t Can Be Educated and Exercised Like
Arm Muscles.
So much of the happiness and sue
cess of life depends upon the seeing
capacity that it is both a wonder and
a pity that more attention is not paid
by the parents in the home and by
instructors in the schools to the per-
fecting of this gift.
The trouble is that the great ma
jority of people regard the capacity Of
the eyes as something fixed at birth
and not to be interfeFed with. If they
would think a little they would recog-
nize that it is, after all, largely a mat.
ter Of exercise and practice. Whey
know that the power of the muscles
is capable Of almost indefinite training.
but they fail to apply the principle to
the eyes. All forms of exercise are
called upon to increase and strengthen
the muscular system of growing chill.
dren, and the wisdom of this, always
granting reasonable moderation, is
never questioned; but the child with
the weak, undeveloped visual faculty,
with the unframed color sense, with
the carrying capacity of the sight linn
tied to a few feet, is called stupid; and
his best hope is that he may be fitted
with glasses before he is rallied and
scolded into real stupidity.
The sight can be educated and exer-
-cised just as truly as the hearing, the
sense of touch, or ven the leg md
arm muscles can; and the work, which
can easily be converted into play.
should be begun very early in life.
Much so-called color blindness is not
a radical defect of vision at all, but a
lack of training In attention and recog-
milton, and could have been avoided
by any form of simple half-play, half
lesson, with colored balls or skeins Of
silk in early childhood. Matching col
ors is an excellent game lesson. It can
be carried on with silks, woods, paper
OF any other material in which it is
possible to get many shades with very
small gradations of color among them.
Certain of the educational supply
houses furnish eolored papers for this
very purpose. AN element of COM
petition can be introduced, and the
power of vision can be trained at the
same time with that esthetic sense
which is its greatest reward.
Rapidly of vision can be. enormously
developed. Most persons know the
story of the conjurer whose father
made him while a small boy play the
game Of naming the objects in some
shop-window passed at a quick walk.
If one will try this he will be astound-
ed at. the way the number of objects
seen in the glimpse will grow with
practice.
AS with other forms of exercise, that

proper conditions. A tired, WORKOUT
eye should not be forced to new tasks
any more than a tired, WORKOUT body.
This is why the process cannot be
started too soon, that the eye may be
insensibly trained to good habits OF

Excuse me while l wipe a briny teardrop from my eye
The same old bricks are in the wan-you couldn't steal the bricks;
The same old warden's watching you, to thwart the sam old tricks.
But few are left to greet me, Tom, and none is left to know -
The way they came to send up you, just twenty years ago.
Your cell looks rather different, Tom-the bars have been replaced
By new ones stronger than the bars your trusty file defaced,
But the same old locksteps still in vogue-you journey to and fro
With little of the awkwardness Of twenty years ago.
You know I was your lawyer, Tom, and when the sentence came
You tried to make me shade my fee, and said l was to blame.
But / had done my duty-you re doing yours, I know,
So let US pray, dismiss the theme of twenty years ago.
