A TOPICAL FABLE.

The Chinese empire, now in state
Of chaos, is, according to Mr. Ian c.
Hannah, little more than q gigantic
bit of bluff. IT looks very big and
terrible but in reality it is all outward
show, and the great empire is at the
mercy of its first determined oppo-
nent In his book on Eastern Asia
Mr. Hannah compares it to the donkey
in the ancient fable
A monkey the fable runs, was cap
tured by tiger
"Oh spare me-" cried the monkey.
81 ann thin and my flesh does not
taste good. But | know where there
is q fine, fat donkey"
The tiger consented to spare the
monkeys life on condition that he lead
him TO where the donkey was tied
When the donkey saw them coming
he was terribly frightened, but he
tried to appear calm and bawled in a
masterful tone
Monkey you used to bring me two
tigers. Why only one today"
The tiger did record hustle back
10 the jungle.

one were always on the point of taking
a bitter pill.
The spirits are affected and the
health suffers, and when the health suf-
fers there is a lack of luster in the eyes
and the cheeks grow pale, and l have
known girls to complain so much that
this pallor became a saffron hue
Every one shuns girls like these, for
through so much complaining they not
only forget how to laugh, but they
check the laughter in others.
And finally they become friendless.
And there never was worse fate than
to become friendless.
And all of this tragedy originated in
a failure to learn the greatest lesson to
be learned in life; and that lesson. my

one of the best ways to keep the eyes
bright and clear
Sometimes when l am very tired and
my eyes show it, as they always do at
once get a basin of ice water with a
little bit Of perfume added to it. Then
l take small bit of the ice. wrap it in
a piece of soft linen and rub the skin
under the eye and just over it with the
ice. You have to rub very quickly, ana
don't leave the ice on too long in any
one place. 1t is likely to be quite sting
ing. After you have done this for a lit
tie while, treating both eyes, rub on a
little cream, or, better still, buttermilll
if you can get it, and pinch the skin
around the eyes until it becomes quite
red | think this treatment will take
away those dark circles under the eyes,
and will also relieve puhiness, which is
so unpleasant and disfgaring.
Relieving the Strain.
Sometimes when the eyes are very
tired you can make them feel better by
pinching the muscles along the eye
brow; this seems to relieve the strain
for some reason or other and especially
if you can get some one else to do it. IS
quite an excellent thing.
| never wear wells with great big dots
or figures which interfere with the
sight, because l think they are respon
sible for much of the eye troubles Of
women.
