TO ALLAY EYE IRRITATION
simple Wash Made From Saturated
Solution of DoracIc Acid 10
Very eoethlns.

When one ID forced to work under
q light that II placed too high foi
eye comfort and cannot be readily ad
justed It is far better to use an Opaque
green shade over the eyes than to al
low the sight to become permanently
injured.
A good quality Of these can be pur.
chased at your stationer's for the
modest sum Of quarter and the re-
lief you will find in them will be
more than worth the small expense.
Should the eyes become irritated
near the eyelash use wash Of luke
warm sterilized water having diluted
therein as much boraic acid as the
water will take up. j.
One can prepare a pint bottle Of
this and have 1t ready for use at any
time. The only thing necessary would
be to place the bottle in a cup Of
warm water so as to make 1t luke
warm before using.
Should a white sediment form at
the bottom is by no means spoiled,
as this is only very small extra
quantity of the boracic asid which
has been absorbed by the water and
is in no way harmful.
More than a certain quantity, say a
hea2ed teaspoonful to pint of wa
ter. will not be absorbed, so there is
no fear of making the water too soft,
as only certain degree can be
achieved In this direction.
Use of this when the lids become
irritated, applying with well-cleaned
eyecup. will save you from many a
painful and patience trying stye, an
abscess of the eyelid that is most
discomforting and which make their
appearance at the most inopportune
times.

War.

One inevitable characteristic OF
modern war is, that 1t is associated
throughout, in all particulars. with a
vast and most irregular formation Of
commercial enterprise. There is no
incentive to Mammon-worship so re-
markable as that which 1t affords. The
political economy of war is now one
OF its most commanding aspects.
f. Even apart from the fact that
war suspends. ipso facto, every rule
of public thrift, and tends to sap hon.
esty itself in the use Of the public
treasury for which it makes such un-
bounded calls. it therefore is the
greatest feeder Of that lust of gold
which We are told is the essence OF
commerce. though We had hoped it
was only its occasional besetting sin.
w. E. Gladstone.
Heaven and earth shall pass away.
but that which thinks within me
must think for ever; that which feels
must feel: am. and can never
cease to be.-James Montgomery.

MANY SQUIRRELS HOLD FORTH
Rlsht to Search Pockets for Nuts 10
Held BY Washington

Washington squirrels are the arls.
tocrats Of squirreldom. Every one Of
the numerous little parks or squares. 70
as they are known In the capital, has
its band of squirrels. Feeding them
is one Of the established amusemeuts
OF park life. The squirrels are pro.
tected by law and soon learn they
have nothing to fear. Those In the
White House grounds are especially
tame. II is not an uncommon sight
to see one OF them scampering along
at the heels Of visitors. muteiy beg
ging for aims.
While feeding the squirrels is q
common practice, each park has q
little company Of men and women who
constitute themselves the especial
guardians OF the pets In that square.
The squirrels learn their friends and
come scurrying down the trees upon
their approach. On their hind legs
they beg for nuts and often they
search pockets for them. Children
learn thus. that there 10 more pleas.
ure to be had from being kind to ami.
mails than by indulging In the usual
childhood practice Of persecuting
them.

MAN WHO PRINTS STAMPS
Head .of Bureau Of Engraving MakeA
Over Eleven Billions Of Them
Each Year.

Joseph E. Ralph makes IL, ,100. .000. 600
stamps every year. Mr. Ralph is the
head of the bureau of engraving and
printing at Washington, which prints
all the stamps and the paper currency.
Recently ten postoffice inspectors went
20 the brueau and checked up the num-
Der of stamps printed there within .
month and the total was 1,768, ,285, 900.
The bureau prints an average Of A.
100000 stamps a day. AS these pass
through the machine the number print
I'd is automatically registered. Later
;he stamps are counted and when de-
ivered to the postoffce department
hey are checked up. All the time
hat he has been printing these stamps.
Mr.. Ralph has never had one unac-
counted for.
For many years the stamp contract
was given each year TO a private
business concern in New York. One
day the head of the bureau of engrav-
ing decided to put in bid for the
work. and it was so much lower than
the other bids that it got the contract.
1t has held it ever since.
Business is transacted between the
departments just as it is between in
dividuals. The treasury department
bills the pcstoffice department for its
stamp work and the postofiice depart
ment makes out a voucher which
eventually goes through the treasury

currants Make Good Combination
With Any Of the Smaller
Kinds Of Fruit.

Currants combine well with several
OF the popular summer berries and
small traits like cherries. Huckle-
berries raspberries and blackberries
are each delicious when cooked with
about one-third their bulk Of currants.
Currants are sometimes added In a
small quantity to a raspberry or a
huckleberry pie.
Stewed huckleberries make a nice
compete at country supper on Sun
day evenings, and currants added to It
are often considered an improvement.
For plain huckleberry compete add
a cupful Of sugar to every three cup
fuls of berries. and stew them in
barely enough water. to keep them
from burning. Currants may be add
ed in any amount preferred. Half and
half makes a good mixture, but a
third of currants is also satisfactory.
II two-thirds OF currants and one-third
OF huckleberries are used more sugar
will be required.
we!l-known cook offers the fol-
lowing recipe for raspberry and cur
rant marmalade: Rub two quarts OF
raspberries and quart of currants
through sieve that is fine enough to
exclude the seeds. Add a pound Of
sugar TO every pint of pulp. Boil the
sugar till 1t strings in small guam
tity of water and In another kettle
reduce the fruit to one-half its orig
inal bulk. Then mix the two and boil
them down together to a thick marina
