CHILDREN'S EYES.

Allow us to say few words in re-
gard to the children's eyes. Years a
go, when the children studied their
lessons from their books, we did not
hear very much about their eyes CIV
ing out. Let us consult our black
boards and see what they can tell us a.
bout the worldwide subject.
Parents and guardians all over this
broad land how many hours through
the day are your little children sitting
in school staring at blackboard, upon
which are placed by the teacher most
of the lessons for the day, many times
the lines being so fine and pale they
could not be easily read more than half
or two-thirds the way across the room,
but the children are required to see
them all the way across and from the
remotest corners. Many of the child
rem when first looking at the board do
not see much of anything but by look
ing very sharp for a few seconds the lines
reveal UIl6IIlSclNCS. L lis, NY lIlSllil
means strained eyes, and strained eyes
means weakened or diseased optic
nerves, possibly no eyes at all, it all
depending upon the severity of the
strain. Even when the work is quite
distinct, for children who have natur-
ally weak eyes the distance many times
is so great that the air waves coming
between the poor, tired eyes and the
board cause the lines to waver and
flicker, and especially is this the case
when the light is poor and the ventila-
tion bad. Anything put on the board
for children to see, whether old or
young, should have large proportions
and broad, clear lines throughout, SC
no extra efforts will have to he made
to discover it. There is great differ
ence in eyes; one child will readily see
what another could not without the ia.

WATER PLANT IS SUCCESS.

The new water plant at High Falls
on the Peshtigo river, recently finished
by the Northern Hydro-Electric COM
pany, has been in commission about
one month and already has proven the
wisdom of the promoters who several
years ago conceived and now have car
ried out an enterprise of far greater
proportions than is generally known.
The current was turned on on Oct. l
and since that day it has been success
fully operating the street car system
and many industries in Green Bay and
De Pere, sixty miles distant from the
plant.
The falls average about eightyfive
feet in height. Export engineers es-
innate that it is possible to generate
about IA 900 horse power. The plant
at present is developing about 10000
horse power, with facilities for making
use of the remainder of the current
when it is needed
Work on the plant began about two
years ago. The magnitude of the un-
dertaking, large enough under any cir
cumstance, was greatly increased by
| the fact that High Falls is fifteen miles
from the railroad, so that all the ma.
chinery had to be transported the tif'
| teen miles over roads none too good for
such purposes by teams. Several OF
the pieces of machinery weigh twenty
tons and to transport them required
fourteen teams and an especially bull,
steel track with tires twenty-four in.
ches wide.
From fifty to 100 teams were con
stantly at work during practically the
entire two years. During the entire
time ot the h,lildinT.of tho plant it was
necessary for the company to maintain
accommodations for from 400 to SOC
workmen at the scene of operations.
1t is estimated that the total cost OF
the project from the day the work be-
gan until the power was turned onto
the transmitting wires, was close to
81, 100000.
The enterprise was conceived and
carried out entirely by Green Bay and
Oshkosh men, they even finding the
money necessary, and it seems probable
that if the experiment proves success
full from business point of view, it
will result in the development OF a
number of powers in that part of the
state with all the desirable industrial
effects.

BITS OF WISDOM.

There is no secret of success but
work.
The mind of a good man is king
dom to him and he can always enjoy
it.
Many run after felicity like man
hunting for his hat; while it is on his
head.
Take pleasure in your work. A task
which appears distasteful at first sight
soon becomes pleasure.
Endurance is more valuable than
cleverness. 1t is the patient, steady
plodders who gain and keep fortunes.
When benignity and gentleness reign
within we are in least danger from
without; every person and every oc-
currence is beheld in the most favor
able light.
A graceful behavior toward others
is constant source of pleasure: it
pleases others because it indicates re-
spect for their personality, and it gives

OUR DUTY TO THE LIVING.
How often we see the living sighted
and neglected, through long, hard
life never cheeredb by one word of praise
or one caress, and when they be still
and silent, no longer hearing or heed
ing, then the words, caresses and tears
are not stinted, which during life
would have been welcome, helping
them over many rough places.
People kiss the dead who never kiss
the living. They hover over open cof-
fins with hysterical sobs, but fail to
throw their arms about their loved
ones who are fighting the stern battles
of life. A word of cheer to the living,
to a struggling soul in life is worth all
the roses Of Christendom piled high on
casket covers. The dead can not smell
the flowers, but the living can. Scat
ter them broadcast in their pathway,
therefore and pick out the thorns be-
fore it is too late.
When it is too late how many una
vailing regrets it would save us to
know that while they were with US we
had loved them well, and did not fail
to let them know how very dear they
were to us.
''It isn't the things you do, dear:
It's the things you've left undone,
Which gives you bit of heart ache
at the setting of the sun,
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flowers you might have sent,
dear,
Are your haunting ghost tonight"

TIME FOR A CHANGE.

In 1894 the last year of Democratic
rule in Wisconsin the state tax paid by
Manitowoc Co. was $5750.75. In 1909 the
county's state tax was $77409.07, an in
crease in fifteen years of over 81 900.
This enormous increase in the cost of
running the state government is a
menance to the progress and prosperity
of the state. There should be halt
called to this public extravaganza. 1t
is high time for change of parties in
Wisconsin. The following table will
show the state taxes in each town.

ALL ZONES EXIST
ON OLD ORIzABA
AND WONDERFUL RANGE OF
BIRD LIFE OF COURSE
PREVAILS.
FAMED oRNlTHoLoelsT THITH-
ERwARD BOUND TO MAKE
COLLECTION.

New York, March e-Birds of all
chimes, from a single mountain, are to
to be brought to this city by Frank NJ
Chapman, who has started for Mex
leo, where he is to explore the Won
ders of the extinct volcano. Orizaba.
He accompanied Herman G. Bumpus,
director of the expedition for archae-
logical researches in Mexico. With
Mr.. Chapman in his ascent Of the
mountain will be two companions,
Louis Fuerts, well known artist, and
one of the perpetrators of the museum
The three wli gather specimens of
birds, portions of earth, rock and veg
citation and all things needed for a
representation of the conditions at
various attitudes. The skins of the
birds which are obtained will be
mounted so as TO show them in their
habitation. There is not in all nat
ure more contradictory series OF
bird life than is to be found on the
Mexican mountain. which is G5 miles
from Vera Cruz ana in sight of the
gulf of Mexico.
1t might be called complete hem,
isphere. At its base is a tropic tenn
perature, and amid the palms and the
cactus and the rank vegetation are
found birds OF rich plumsge. Then,
as the traveller ascends, he reaches
the pine and the oaks of the temper
ate zone, in the branches of which
the birds of this northern cline build
their nests. The timber line is passed
at $4,000 feet, and the remainder of
the 1926 feet is similar to the Arc
tic regions, in which Mr.. Chapman
will obtain feathered denizens such
as one would except to find near the
pole.
Orizaba is regarded as next to Mt.
Mckinley, the highest peak on the
North American continent. Like the
great height in Alaska, its top is
crowned by perpetual SHOWS. The first
ascent of it was made in 1S4S by two
American army officers. It is expected
that several months will be spent in
the gathering of material, and that
the resulting bird group will surpass
anything of the kind which has yet
geen gathered.
Mr. Bumpus will spend five weeks
In Mexico, in which he will visit some
OF the best-known of the Aztec ruins.
with a view of having reproductions
OF some OF them made for the decora-
ton of the museum He will return by
way of the southwest, where he win
visit several field parties of the muse
up Which are at work in Montana and
