SPARE MINUTE FOR THE EYES
Nothing Gives Eyes Such Complete
Rest as Habit of Closing Them
Occasionally.

If you will spare a minute every
half hour to the eyes they may be
spared to you many years in conse-
Quence.
A weIl-known oculist declares moth
ing gives the eyes such complete rest
as the habit of closing them occasion
ally for minute or too. In threat
ened cases of eyestrain he has some
times advised no other cure and the
patient has recovered his normal
sight.
Where one uses the eyes constant
ly, especially for close work, as the
woman who does fine sewing, en-
broidery or painting, the relief to eyes
Of lifting them from the work and
closing them while one slowly counts
twenty-five cannot be overestimated.
Another rest Is to change the point
of vision from time to time. Look
away from what you are doing and
gaze blank1y into space. Do not at
tempt to concentrate on anything,
merely look out of the window or into
a distant corner of the room.
Do not begrudge the time for this
eye resting. 1t is the best sort of in
vestment you can make and will not
take half as much time or money as

An AIrboat.

The aeroplane is an airboat rather
than a flying machine, says ST. Mich
olas. The only action of the bird that
1t initiates is the birds soaring. in
nearly the sam,a sense in which a boat
floats or duck swims With the
duck, however. there is one difference.
1t shares the balloon principle. be-
cause it's body will not sink when it
stands still. whereas t.e aeroplane
will fall unless it is constantly urged
forward The duck is lighter than its
bulk of water. as the balloon is light
er than its own bulk of air. To call
an aeroplane flying machine is
therefore exactly the same as to call
a boat swimming machine excepting
In mind the swimming OF the duck

The plaintiff said that in June last

26 years, was haunting her because he
forgot to pay defendant 20 shillings he
owed him. The witness was frightened
and paid the money, which the defen

Phil died, walked nine miles to the

Econo- NY.

In a well built cabin of logs the
farmer lived in the simplest manner
and with the strictest economy His
rooms were warmed and his food was
cooked by a fire in a 10-plate iron
stove. which sent the gases up the
hue of solitary chimney that rose
from the middle of the house His
food was chiefly pork and rye. onions
and sauerkraut. milk and cheese, tur-
nips and Indian corn Sometimes
fresh meat was added. But no beeves
nor sheep were slaughtered till every
part of the carcass had been isposed
of among the families on the neigh
boring farms
With this exception, everything he
ate grew upon his ON land. Every
thing he wore was made under his
own roof. The good wife. and her
daughters cultivated the garden patch
that lay near the house. trained the
honeysuckles that shaded the door,
spun the flax and wooden yarn. work
