Remember Little Kindnesses.

Cultivate q memory for kindnesses.
Too many of us are inclined to accept
small courtesies and kindnesses as a
matter of course, and for that reason
they make so little impression upon
us that they are soon lost sight of.
The people who seem overlooking with
faith and affection, and who always
have a good opinion of their fellows,
are the ones who find it easy to forget
injuries, but who hold the kindnesses
they have received fast in memory

Typesetter Made a Guess.

In the getting out of the first num-
Der of a new English magazine in To-
kyo a proofreader discovered that the
number 10000 had been printed $4,000.
On inquiring through an interpreter
how such an odd mistake could have
occurred, the proofreader said: 81 can
imagine a mistake of 10000 or 10000
being made, but how could he get 3d.
600 instead of 100000" The typeset-
ter's reply was: 81 had no 4 at the
moment, so I calculated that $4,000
would be nearer the right amount than
any other figure"

Avoid Brilliant Lights.

If you have a sense of faulty vision
il is natural inclination to seek
very strong light by which to read or
study. This simply adds to the eye
strain. The best light is an indirect,
tiiffused light of sufficient strength to
make the letters on the page stand out
in uniform distinctness. Avoid the
brilliant reflection from metallic OBJ
jects that may be on the desk.
