Cara Of chiIdren,s Eyes.

When the sun climbs higher every
day and shines daily more brightly it
is good thing to remember that chill
dren's eyes are not quite as we'll adapt
ed to bright lights as are those OF
grown people. Children are not often
permitted to choose their hats, and II
they were they would not be likely
to remember the brightness of the sun
at the time Of the choosing. Little
children in their carriages or the arms
OF parents are too often compelled to
face brilliant sky or even the sun.

the eyes. There is no doubt that
great deal of the trouble which affects
the eyes in later life could be prevent
ed if parents would never expect the
children to face brighter lights than
they themselves would find uncomfort-
able.-Osteopathic Magazine.

Mile. st.ndish rals "Mvth.n

One by one the good old tales that
cheered childhood's happy hours are
being taken away from US. First
comes Sidney George Fisher and de-
clares the Washington Ratchet and
cherry tree tradition an exploded
myth" Now comes Rev. Paul Sturte-
want Howe, rector of the Church Of
the Advocate, Cape May, and declares
that Miles Standish never sent John
Alden to WOO Priscilla Mullen.
Doctor Howe told the members Of
the Mayfower society at their annual
banquet that he knew there was no
foundation for Longfellow's famous
poem because he himself was de-
scendant Of John and Priscilla. John
Alden spoke for himself all the
time, said Doctor Howe, and Miles
Standish barely knew Priscilla.

High in the air on the broad root
of the Hotel Lenox several tents have
been pitched for the benefit Of guests
who wish to sleep In the open, says
the Boston Post.
So far as is known, this is the FIRST
time that Boston hotel has arranged
for sleeping accommodations on the
roof, the idea being to provide fresh
air right In the heart OF the city.
Among the first TO try out the plan
was Miss Ora Mcbride. widely known
among magazine illustrators. and Miss
Helen Walsh, stenographer. After
the fact became known that tents had
been erected on the roof, many Of the
guests of the hotel docked there, 40
companied by moving-picture men.
newspaper photographers and report
ers.
The tents are what are known -
"arctics." They are heavy and wind
proof. and give plenty OF room for
iron cots, made up with either
blankets or sleeping bags.

Cape Town once lived under so Sc

anything like display was restricted
to the governor and his immediate
circle. Thus runs article 6 Of the
Dutch laws against luxury and osten-
tation: mo one less In rank than 8
junior merchant and those among the
citizens of equal rank and the wives
and daughters only Of those who are

practice this restricted the possession

Rino Life Preservsrs.

The worst trouble about life pre-
server" said an old sailor, is that
few people know what to do with one
when it's thrown to them. Many a
man would drown In trying to get q
life preserver over his head. The av
efage person struggling about In the
water would try to lift up the big life
ring and put it over his head. That
only causes the man to sink deeper
and take more water into his lungs.
1.-The proper way to approach life
DFeserver In the water is to take hold
e the side nearest you and press upon
Il with all your weight. That causes
the other side to fly up in the air and
down over your head, ringing you as
neatly as a man ringing cane at
e01ntry fair. After that the drowning
aan can be rescued"
