EYE DEFECTS In

The greater per cent. of eye trouble
is acquired or developed during school
days. Neglect at this time is respon-
sible for much of the present-day eye
trouble. Twenty-Five per cent. of all
school children suffer from defective
eyes. They fall back in their classes

power of which they have seen nothing
except the handful of soldiers and Of
ficials sent over to rule the island.
Their respect for American power took
sudden bound when ten years ago,
few vessels steamed into Manila
harbor and wiped out the big Spanish
ships that they looked upon as irwin
chile. Therefore, when they were told
that Uncle Sam was going to send over
sixteen fighting monsters, each one a
giant beside Admiral Dewey's Olympia,
their curiosity and interest sharpened
ITO a cutting edge.
There is no doubt of the volume of
the "bravos' that will arise when Rear
Admiral Sperry's fleet steams into the
waters where ten years ago the Orient
saw the first demonstration of Ameri-
can naval power.
On account of the prevalence of the
dreaded cholera in Manila the sailors
and marines of the great fleet will get
but little shore leave in Manila and
the great demonstration on land which
was to have been the feature of the
entertainment of the members of the
fleet, will have to be eliminated. A
magnificent naval demonstration will
be made in Manila harbor, however.

Bronson Alcott's System in England

Educational circles in Wolverhamp-

markable incident which occurred in
a voluntary school. A boy had been
punished by the headmaster, ana
complaint being made to the man
ayers the chairman, who IS a we'll
known clergyman, went to the school
and asked that he should receive the
punishment which had been inflicted
on the boy, so that he could test and
Judge of its severity.
The headmaster explained thai the
boy had received six strokes, three
on each hand.
WELL" said the reverend gentle
man, "Ill take them" and he held
out his hand in the conventional boys
fashion. The headmaster screwed
up his courage, and in the presence OF
the assistant teachers and class adj
ministered six vigorous strokes.
The clergyman lost his smile at the
second stroke and WINGED at each OF
the succeeding ones, to the great Joy
Of the assembled boys. After the
punishment he picked up his hat and
hurriedly left the room.-London

All in Good Taste.

Nothing could be more appropriate
.nan the covers and curtains seen in
the in%expensively furnished home of
a young matron who had picked up
bits of old furniture to match the
few pieces which had descended to
her from a doting grandparent.
Her mahogany chest, bureau and
little sewing table had covers made
of organdie just the size of the
article to be covered. These were
simply hemmed with an inch-wide
hem, and about one-half inch inside
this hem was sewed, on both sides,
another inch-wide piece of the goods,
making a simulated tuck. Could
anything be simpler? Yet the effect
was so quaint and appropriate, especi-
ally as sash curtains for the many
paned windows,were made the same
way. These were draped with valence
and side drapery of quaint-iowered
chintz, and gave the finishing touch
to the whole.-New Haven Register.

Great Temperance Address.

An eloquent address on the danger
of giving alcoholic stimulants as a
medicine was conveyed in a New YORK
news item as follows:
Lizzie Arlington, of Jersey City,
was declared a hopeless drunkard
to-day when she was arrested for the
hundred and first time.
Ten years ago she was a beautlfui
girl. She belonged to a respectable
family. During a long illness she was
kept alive by whisky. When she re-
covered she was possessed by an IT.
resistible craving for the liquor.
Since then she has spent three-fourths
CT her life in Jail. She is t~hirty-tWo'
but looks sixty. Her hair IS gray,
her face wrinkled and pinched, and
her body as infirm as that of an octo-
genarian."

Cleaning q Covert Coat.

To clean a covert coat, a good
method is that of sponging it with a
mixture made of six ounces of water,
an ounce of hartshorn and an ounce
of sulphuric ether. The coat should
then be sponged with water, covered
with a damp cloth and ironed. Grease
marks on white silk blouses can often
be successfully removed by means Of
dry magnesia, while in the case of
colored silk, fuller's earth is a good
medium, and pure soap and water
can be safely employed in the case of

are very callous about Il annual

minor casualties make little impress

The Blessings in Meditation.

Many Christians who say theil
prayers regularly never mediate
The very words seem to them rather
to belong toreligious phrsseology tlan
to describe anything actual and prac.
tical in a Christians life. Yet they
little know how much they lose with
reference to the life of u Lord and
Saviour by neglecting this mosi
healthful and fruitful exercise.
You say you do not know how ia
set about it. Very well, try some
thing of this kind: After saying your
morning prayers, open a New Tesla:
ment, and ask God to enable you to
realize His presence and to send His
Holy Spirit to enlighten and guide
you. Then read two or three verses,
or short paragraphs, a miracle, q
parable, a part of a discourse, as THO
case may be. Do not think Of its
grammatical or historical or literary
aspects, but say, What do these
words say to me? What truth do
they teach? What fault do they cor.
rect? What effort do they prescribe
or encourage? What resolutions do
they make necessary" If In earnest,
you will soon see your way. Scrip
ture is so full of meanings that the
real difficulty Is which to select out
of its abundance. Then, having de.
cided on the main lessons Of the pass
age, pray earnestly that you may
practically remember them and turn
them, In whatever way, to the best
account.
The whole exercise need not taka
up more than ten minutes, but at the
end Of a year, 1t will, If regularly
practiced, have made a great differ
ence in matters which most intimate
ly concern the soul. 1t is M way OF
