A ReaIist.

New York Tribune: President Will
son likes novels of an idealistlc rather
than a realistic trend.
At a reception in Washington a lady
duced a sh~ocktngly depressing and
unpleasant book.
How would you define a realist %
some asked. and the lady said:
"a realist Is a writer who is dis
gusted with the world"
"C.h, no, not at ALL" smiled the pres
ident. "A realist is a writer with
whom the world Is disgusted."

GOT THE HORSEFLY Ratified
Ferocious Insect Couldn't Draw Blood
From the Auto, and Consequently
Was Annoyed.

Now that automobiles have become
so numerous and the number of
horses on the country roads is dimin-
ishing, the horsefiy has tackled the au-
tomobile Any automobilist that drives
along the country roads may notice
the old-fashioned horsefy, the pest
and the terror of good old Dobbin, as
1t darts in, over, under, and around his
machine. A horsefy will follow an
automobile for miles in this way, and
it strikes at the machine just as it
used to strike at horse and make
him jump in agony.
One automobilist who was on the
road few days ago found big horse
fly fitting around and in and out of
his machine. The fly struck at the
sides of his machine, but, of course,
it made no impression. Apparently
surprised at its failure to mick of"
an appetizing morsel, the fly struck
again and again. 1t tried the glass OF
the windshield. Next it struck at the
hood of the machine with the same
unsatisfactory result After 1t had
been baffled in this manner and had
tried every part of the machine with.
out getting a bite of anything to eat,
the horsetly seemed to get lunch"
He abandoned the unproductive
metal structure of the machine, on
which he would have starved to death,
and made dash at the occupants of
the car. Again and again he struck at
them, and they were kept as busy for
a half mile as any horse ever was by
a horsefly. Finally, however, the fly
gave up the chase and fell by the
roadside.

hotel man:
Il made my first acquaintance with
plovers eggs, which was told cost
something like a dollar apiece, and a
few other dishes not common to bills
Of fare over here, but In general l
found that the eating in hotels was
pretty much on the same lines as here,
and that the standard of what con-
stituted a first class hotel in Europe
and in the United States was pretty
much the same"
This is one OF the things that makes
conventional travel without any def
mite object so deadly dull for intelli-
gent people. People dress very much
alike at hotels in the temperate zone,
and their conversation is about equally
insipid, and they eat very much the
same indigestible food. Usually it is
bad food (called by French names)
and priced rather high.-Collier's

LAMP CAUSES EYE DISEASE
Safety Device Seriously lmpairs Sight
of Underground Workers, Es-
peeially Coal Miners.

While progress in science has en-
abled industrial concerns to greatly
increase their output and has made
the life of the worker much easier. at
the same time it exacts its penalties
and IL has recently been discovered
that the safety lamp used by the mod
ern miner has greatly Increased the
prevalence of an eye trouble which Sc
riously impairs the sight of the under
ground worker, especially coal miners.
This trouble has been known for some
time and is believed TO be caused by
the great eye strain to which the
men are subjected when working in
the dim light of the safety lamp. In
mines where an open-fiame light OF
candle can be used, the disease is
rarely found. In Great Britain records
show that some 1918 miners We're
found to be suffering from the disease
during one year, and the loss in money
is estimated at more than $4,000,
represented by the compensation paid
these men under the law. This, of
course. does not take into account the
reduced earning capacity of the men
during the progress of the disease to
that point of aeuteness which made
them eligible to compensation under
tional diseases to which much study
is now being given, though no real
remedy has yet been found.
