INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FIRE.
QU=NTLY The CAUSE.

Il!uminants oe the Past, One and All,
Have serious Defects-icetylene Gas,
With It's Clear, Unwarcring, Yet Soft
Flame Cannot Hurf the Eyes.
New York. June 20.-No one can go
into our schools or meet q group Of
children oa the street without noticing
how large number OF them wear
spcctacles. The proportion seems 10
increase yearly, and there are many
more 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
TO the principal and sent a note to
the mother, requesting that the child
be helped at home if she wished her
TO keep up with her class. Ore day
after 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 ones
tioning Miss c. found that Alice had
never been able to see what was put
OIL the board and that her head had
ached so often and so hard that she
frequently failed to hear what was
said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack of proper food, but in our Amerl.
can homes it is usually due to the poor
quality 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 flickering light
from a coal gas jet is but little better,
and even the electric light, brilliant
as it usually is, has IN uasteadiless
due to variations in power. apdSp 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 clear white,
unwavcring light, very brilliant, yet
perfectly soft, and so nearly like the
rays of the sun that even colors ap-
pear rs In daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced. and the simple
apparatus necessary car be purchased
and installed in. any home at very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped to convenient points in the
house where light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinsuished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches.
schools and institutions Of all kinds,
and it is reasonable to expect that rs
its use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, part;cu-
larly among chld&n. Poor eyesisht
aud the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illum!E2nt.

FOOD IN SERMONS.
Feed the Dominic Right and the Sermons
Are Brilliant.

A conscientious, hard-working and
eminently successful clergyman writes:
81 am glad to bear testimony to the
pleasure and increased measure OF
efficiency and health that have come to
me from adopting Grape-Nuts foGd as
one of my articles Of diet.
"For several years / was much dis
tressed during the early Fart of each
day by indigestion. Ny breakfast,
usually consisting Of oatmeal, milk and
eggs. seemed to turn sour ard failed
to digest. After dinner the headache
and other symptoms following the
breakfast would wear away, only to re-
turn, however, next morning.
Having heard Of Grape. Nuts food, l
finally concluded to give it 4 fair tc:a:.
quit the use of oatmeal aad eggs, ana
made my breakfasts Of Grape-NutS,
cream, toast and Postum. Tie result
was surprising in improved health and
total absence of the distress that had,
for so long time, followed the morn
ing meal. My digestion became
once more satisfactory. tic headaches
ceased, and the Old feeling Of cuersy
returned. Since that time, fnHr years
AGO, have always had Grape-Nuts
food on my breakfast table.
81 was delighted to fiEd also. that
whereas before l began TO use Grape
Nuts food l was quite nervous aH9 DC

marked Improvement IL this respect re-
suited from the change in my diet. l
am convinced that Grape-Nuts food
produced this result and helped me to 4
sturdy condition of mental and physical
strength.
81 have known several persons who
were formerly troubled as | was, and
who have been helped us have been,
by the use of Grape-Nuts food, on my

Happiness in Spite OF Deprivations.

If am so happy in spite Of my depri-
vations, if my happiness is so deep
that it is 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. 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 glad belief
in the preponderance Of good and
willing effort always to cooperate with
the good that it.may prevail. try to
increase the power God has given me
to see the best in everything and every
one, and make that best part Of my
life. To what is good open the doors
Of my being, and jealousy shut them
against what is bad.-Helen Keller.

A Good Mans Humility.

An appeal vas made one Sabbath
evening in church for volunteers to
work for Christ. No sooner was the
appeal made than Mr.. Ketchum, q
wealthy New York merchant, rose up
and offered his services to the pastor.
The minister said, I'm what way, Mr..
Ketchum?" and the reply was, "As
hod carrier" What he meant was
that he was willing to serve in any
humble capacity in which he could be
most useful. How often have /
thought of that good mans humility.
And God blessed him as afterwards
he went from house to house asking
parents to send their children to the
Sabbath-school that was connected
with his church.
