WATCH YOUR cHILD's EYES.

A little boy once said to his school
mates, Il don't make any more mis-
takes in my music" This little boy
had such poor eyesight that he could
not read letters three and one-half
inches square more than six feet away
from him, and yet he had been re-
peatedly punished by his violin teach
er for making mistakes while taking
his lessons Just think of it; punish.
ed .sis06f making mistakes when he could
not see his notes plainly!
How did he find out that his eyes
were weak? His schoolteacher had
been making tests Of the sight Of her
pupils and had discovered that this
boy could not see well. She reported
the fact to his parents, who got glass
es that made him the happiest boy in
the school, and saved him many I'M
deserved punishments and caused him
to say, Il don't make any more mis-
takes in my music
This boy did not know, nor did his
parents know, but that he saw as well
as every other boy, and his mistakes
were thought to be from carelessness
and inattention.
This same boy afterwards became
a noted violinist, was educated abroad
and played before royalty. His glass.
es enabled him to see his notes plain
ly and he made no more mistakes in
his reading music.
There have been thousands of just
such boys and girls in our public
schools in the past, who have been
stumbling along, hating their lessons,
scclder and punished by their teach
ers and parents, just because they
had a defect of vision of which they
and their parents and teacher were
ignorane.
Parents, do you know that your
children have good eyesight? Do you
know that they are not "long.sighted,"
"near-sighted," or color blind? Do
they often complain of being tired, or
of having a headache when they re-
turn home from school? Do they dis
like school? Are they sleepy and dull
when trying to learn their home tasks?
Is it hard for them to keep up with
their class? Are they inclined to "play
hockey? Then do not punish and
scold them, until you first find out if
there is not some physical cause be-
hind 1t all, so that you may not regret
later and blame yourself for neglect
or injustice to one Of your own.
Ignorance of the law is no excuse
to the lawbreaker in court. Ignorance
is no excuse for neglect of your chill.

CROP RESUME.


|ner, Commissioner of Agriculture, bas-
ed upon the reports of assessors of
the different parishes, has just been
issued. Its summary says:
"The outlook for crops all over the
State about six weeks ago babe fair
to be the best in years, but the inces-
SAINT rains of September have deteri-
Grated some of them very much. AS
summary we give the following:
"Fifty-two parishes reported, forty
four reporting on the cotton crop claim
that it is 88 2-11 per cent compared
with last year, forty.three giving the
bales expected to be made as 314,9O0.
From other sources of information
and allowing for the parishes not re-
porting their last years crop, and also
allowing for some little pessimism
among reporters, we place the crop
this year at $4,000 bales.
"Fifty-two parishes report. the corn
crop III ga per cent, and forty-three,
besides giving the percentage compar-
ed to last year, also answer our ques.
ton for bushels, and claim that they
will make 23,197,218: add to this
S,166,1S7 bushels, which is the crop
made by the parishes last year, that
are not reporting now, with same ratio
of increased percentage, that is II 3-4
making total Of 31,363,4O5 bushels
hence we feel safe in placing the corn
crop at 32,O0O,O00 bushels.
Though disappointing to us, yet an
increase over last year of 100000
bushels, Notwithstanding the bad sea
son, shows that our com outlook is
looming up, and we are destined In
the near future to be great corn

LONDON, Oct. 13-The latest ac-
counts Of the disaster to the steam
ship Volturno, burned and abandoned
in mid-ocean Friday morning, confirm
that the loss of life will be limited to
about 1876. A graphic story by the
solitary survivor aboard the Carmania
was received by wireless and presents
a terrible picture of the horror, the
panic and confusion aboard the burn
ing liner. Most important, II true, 10
