To Strencthen the Eyes.

Unless one has unusually strong
eyes one must not read when one
is extremely weary. Exhaustion
and fatigue affect all the nerves of
the body, and the optic nerve is so
sensitive that it should receive par
ticular consideration. Nor should
one ever be guilty of the careless
ness of reading or writing facing
window. This, too, is cruel strain
on the sight. Washing the eyes
morning and night in water as hot
as it can be borne is wonderful
tonic for those useful servants
which are SO easily injured. When
we consider how we neglect their
welfare by using them by fading
daylight and insufficient artificial
light, by forcing them to do work
when they are weary and by deny
ing them the rest for which they
long, we have cause to wonder not
that they sometimes become mutt
nous and refuse to fulfil our de-

Irearlnn warrs.

Children's hands are often disfg-
ured by warts, and they can be
cured in a simple way. Get harts-
horn and sweet oil of equal mix
ture and paint the warts with this
each day. 1t is slow, yet thorough
ly satisfactory. Acetic acid touched
to the most tenacious warts will in
time kill them, and yhey can be
easily removed. Most children,
however, object to your cutting
even the dead part away, since they
have a fear of its hurting After
removing warts wash the parts with
a weak solution of carbolic acid. A
drop of peroxide of hydrogen in the
cavity will cleanse all impurities.
Do not believe in such absurd
things as superstitious persons en-
tertain for the removal of warts,
for warts are almost as difficult to
remove as teeth, and the foolish no
ton which has ever prevailed of
causing them to disappear through
some magic is not to be thought of
in this enlightened age.-Exchange.

The Protection of the Forests.

Few that fell trees plant them,
nor would planting avail much to-
ward getting back anything like the
noble primeval forests. During a
mans life only saplings can be
grown in the place Of the old trees
tens Of centuries old--that have
been destroyed. 1t took more than
5000 years to make some of the
trees in the western woods-trees
that are still standing in perfect
strength and beauty, waving and
singing in the mighty forests of the
Sierra. God has cared for these
trees, saved them from drought,
disease, avalanches and a thousand
straining, leveling tempests and
floods. But he cannot save them
from fools-only Uncle Sam can do
that.-John Muir.

released and allowed to fall upon

sudden descent for about twenty

TOMATO BIsoUE.
Tribute to This Culinary Triumph and
Gastronomic Joy.


Very often when Il person sits
down to a dinner he is confronted
by the Neutrality-suspicious. or
puree. The former is clear liquid
supposed to represent the strength
of some meat, and the latter is the
infusion into a cream of the virtue
of some vegetable. The former is
really the dinner soup and the lat
ter lunch affair, and when IA per-
son makes his choice upon these
considerations he leaves out the
question of merit altogether.
But what we want to select out of
all the category of soups, consomme
or puree, is that form of the latter
known as tomato bisque and boost
it up on the pinnacle of glory as the
divinest revelation of the culinary
art. You say it is not entitled to
such superlative adulation, but did
you ever taste it at its best-that
delicious blend of tomato and cream,
with an alkaline trace in it and a
faraway suggestion of mace and on
ion and bay leaf, all put into har
mony as delicate as a dream of a
loved one?
There is nothing in all the kitch-
en- joys that more completely en-
ploys the soul of good things than
the purec, whether it is of celery or
corn or tomato, for there is no COM
bination over which the. graces of
the cook can more happily hover
than over this Wand. We spoke of
the tomato bisque. When you put
your spoon in it, it bushes up at
you as if it were a kindred spirit,
and isn't it-a symphony in which
all nature joins, where one feels
the ruddy glow of the sunset, the
cream of the clover, the sunshine of
the tropics and the grrgle of the
brooks? All there? Yes, sure, to
the soul that discriminates and eats
with grace. Anyhow, one will be
able to say-take away the roasts,
the entrees, the salads-this is the
climax, this is the answer to my
prayer.-Ohio State Journal.

BLOCK AND BLANKET.
There Was Nothing Dainty About This
English Squire's Bed.

lar aversion to "efeeminaey" mark
ed Charles Waterson, an English
squire, who in early life had wan
dered through many lands as a nat
uralist, intent on making collections
of birds, reptiles, insects and wild
beasts.
The bedroom where the squire
slept and also prepared the speci
mems in his natural history collec-
ton was in the roof and open to the
rafters. Across a stretched rope
were thrown a striped blanket and
his working clothes. The furniture
was rough, coarse and scanty-an
old deal table, three crazy chairs, a
deal clothespress and a chest of
drawers. The floor, deal boards,
was uncarpeted.
Mrs. Byrne, who narrates the in
cident in her volume, "Social Hours
With Celebrities" on surveying it
remarked on the anomaly of a bed
room lacking a bed.
'I've long learned that a bed is
useless luxury" said the squire,
drawing from a corner an oblong
block of oak two feet long, ten
inches wide, eight inches deep, hol-
lowed and polished in the middle
Then he pulled down the striped
blanket, rolled it around him and
lay down on the bare boards, resting
his head on the block.
s'There, that's my bed! It's soon
made, and I'll answer for it none of

For thirty years the block and
blanket had been the squire's bed,
summer and winter, in health and
sickness. When travelling, as he
couldn't carry about his timber pill
low, he used the best substitute he
could devise. Once he was Mrs.
Byrne's guest in London and, as
usual, retired to rest at 8 o'clock.
The German maid, not supposing
that he had retired at so early an
hour, went into the bedroom to take
in the can of hot water. She gave
a scream and rushed out. The next
morning her mistress asked for an
explanation.
