London Opinion, chatting over his
concerts at the Queens hall, when he
dropped the case containing his price

wooden box not only fell without a
sound, but bounced about the floor
like ball. 'Ha,' exclaimed the won
derful Russian, noticing my surprise,
that's little invention of mine to
avoid all risk Of damage to my violin.

rho Emergency Ration.

The government has adopted an
emergency ration" for the United
States army. 1t is composed of choco-
late, nucleo-casein, matted milk, des-
located egg, sugar and cocoa butter.
The food is put up in eight ounce tin
boxes, each box containing three cakes.
The authorities intended each cake to
answer for a meal, so that the slight
burden of eight ounces would supply
the soldier with three square. meals
for the day. Major General Grant,
however, experimental with the ration
while on active duty and reported that
one box is sufficient for three days.

EFFECTS OF INTENSE LIGHT
They Are Not So Serious When tho
Amount Received by the Retlna
ls Reduced.

It is not so much the intensity Of
the quantity received by that sensitive
organ that causes retinal fatigue or
worse. In the great snow fields of the
arctic regions the natives protect their
eyes from the glare of the snow by
goggles made of followed pieces Of
wood in which they have made small
holes to look through. This. says the
Optical Review, reduces the quantity
of the light which passes into their
eyes with consequent relief from the
glare.
So, too, If we look through a minute
pinhole disc at the sun we can endure
the very bright light much longer than
when we look with the naked eye. II
we look at distant electric arc light
there is no retinal fatigue. while If we
ook at the same light from short
distance there is great discomfort, and
yet the two retinal images are of equal
brilliancy, only in the first case this
image is very much smaller than In
the second case; that is the quantity
of light is very much different
Then there is the flaming electric
light which is now to be found in al
of the large cities of the country. This
light is much less brilliant than thai
Of the arc light. and yet its size Is sc
great that this more than makes VI
the difference. and 1t is, therefore
very glaring and uncomfortable tt
look at. In skiascopy 1t is possible t.
use very intense light II 1t is made
small in area and for the reasons
above stated.

little at time. 1t will refresh the
horses wonderfully and Will pay the

BEING OBLIGING IS A HhBlT
Much To Be Said In Its Favor but
Justice Often Is Sacrificed
to Generosity.

From the earliest hours of childhood
we are taught to be obliging. The lit
tie girl sitting at the table puzzling
over fractions, Is chided If she hesitate
to run upstairs and get brother
Georges gloves which he left on the
top of his bureau. The small boy
must, Of course, run on errands for
his big brother, and the mother of six
thinks it her imperative duty to i'm
press on the minds Of each of her
brood their obligation to be self-deny
ing. In way much Is to be said for
this peculiarity of early education, yet
there is something to be said In favor
of justice. There is no reason why
children should, as matter Of course.
be constantly interrupted and called
from their special engagements that
they may s. We steps for able-bodied
folk who would be the better for wait
ing on themselves. The trouble is that
Justice is sacrificed to generosity. The
too-obliging person comes home from
business tired, and before he has time
to take off his coat is requested. If he
be husband, to walk to the village
and procure several supplies that
ought to have been ordered in the
morning, and that might just as well
wait until another day. Perhaps
there are not multitude of men in
| the world who have the weakness OF
being accommodating. There are q
few, and they are simply taxed by the
thoughtlessness of their families until
they are worn out.-The Christian
Herald.
