Reading on q Train.

If you travel back and forth into
town every day you no doubt read
your paper or magazine on the train.
While this is not, indeed, the best prac-
tce for the eyes, it seems pity to
waste so much time which might be
turned to good account. Much Of the
annoyance which comes from train
reading is due to the jolting Of the
cars, which continually knocks the
printed line out Of focus with the eye.
This can be In some degree obviated
by laying card or some other object
below the line to be read and moving
it steadily downward while reading.
This acts as q guide to the eye and
helps to keep the sight a1ed. Those
who have tried it say that 1t wonder
fully assists to decrease the difficulty
Of reading while In motion.

Men Past Sixty in Danger.

More than half of mankind over Six
tv years of age suffer from kidney and
bladder disorders, usually enlargement
of prostrate gland. This is both pain
full and dangerous, and Foley's Kidney
Cure should be taken at the first sign
of danger, as it corrects irregularities
and has cured many old men OF this dis
ease. Mr.. Rodney Burnett, RockPort;

PROSTATE gland and kidney trouble for

During the hot weather of the sum-

How Sound Waves Move.

The speed with which sound waves
are transmitted through the atmosphere
depends on several conditions. When
the temperature is at 50 degrees F.,
sounds move with speed Of 1,090 feet
per second, the velocity increasing with
the temperature at the rate Of about
one foot Of speed per second for each
degree above the freezing point. Then,
again, in damp air sound moves with
greater velocity than it does in dry
air, no odds If the dry air be warm and
the damp cold. In water sound moves
more than four times as fast as it does
in air, or, say, at about the rate Of 400
feet per second.

Trade Emb1ens on Tombstones.

In Scotland It was FOR q long time
usual to place. on mans tombstone
the symbols Of his trade. Especially
was this the case at Dunblane, where,
IN the burial ground Of the abbey, it
has been found that Of those tomb
stones which are from 100 to 200 years
old about one-fourth are thus marked,
the symbols being in low RELIEF. a
sugar cane may be seen as showing
the grave Of grocer; an az and saw,

grave Of carpenter; an awl and a
hammer on that Of shoemaker. There
are many other graves similarly
marked.-Londo2 Answers.

Cutting Eyelashes.

An eyelash is pointed. A cut lash IS
blunt. a lash once cut never again
becomes pointed. Every lash lives a
variable time and then falls out to be
replaced by q fresh one. When cut
lash SO falls the newcomer is pointed.
So any mischief resulting from cutting
the lashes will be remedied by time.
Opinions differ as to whether lash cut
ting promotes growth. That it renders
the lashes unsightly is very certain.

"Make Hay While the Sun Shines"

There is a lesson in the work of the
thrifty farmer. He knows that the
bright sunshine may last but a day and
he prepares for the showers which are
so liable to follow. So it should be with
every household. Dysentery, dlarrhoea
and cholera morbus may attack some
member of the home without warning.
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar-
rhoea Remedy, which is the best known
medicine for these diseases, should al
ways be kept at hand, as immediate
treatment is necessary, and delay may
prove fatal. For sale by The Arant

Food Value OF Cheese.

Food Value OF Cheese.
It is said that one pound Of cheese
is equal in food value to more than two
pounds Of meat. 1t is very rich in pro.
teids and fat. Considering this, it is
low in price when compared with meat
and ought to do good service to the
poor man in replacing occasionally the
regular diet Of meat. IN America cheese
is looked upon more as side dish and
luxury than in some parts Of Europe
The Swiss peasant depends on it as q
staple second only to bread, while the
use of it il England and Germany is
extensive.

That there is no reason in longing for

to be an idea that is shared by many
Corvallisites. and as consequence each

.'What good would a change of wind

''It would beat down the sea to some
