BRIGHT COLORS GIVE RELIEF
Simple Method by Which Desk Work
ers May Avoid ineaIculable
Injury to the Eyes.

The constant use of the eyes on
white paper will In time weaken them
and make 1t necessary to seek other
employment, or resort to some remedy.
Bookkeepers, prooffeaders and those
compelled to gaze for hours at
stretch on white surface, should
have number of bright colors on
their desk or near at hand upon
which the gaze should be allowed to
rest at short periods when the mind
Is busy with some mental struggle.
The bright colors will give relief
to the long, constant strain on the
eye, and 1t will be astonishing to
those who have never resOrted to any
such remedy to note the relief Sc
~cured.
Green should predominant. Yellow
and red with shades of pink should be
used.
Bright-colored blotters and bright
tinted notices or picture cards with
birds and flowers as well as scroll
designs will produce the most relief
10 weary eyes.
Even a bouquet with green foliage
combined with the flowers will give
satisfactory results, but this is not
rs permanent as brightly cOlored
prints that will not fade for long
time.

Rain ParasoIs.

Parasols are of ancient lineage. but
before umbrellas became common an
article resembling "a parasol was used
by the ladies to keep of the rain.
These were called 'quitasOls," name
derived from the Spanish; they were
OF oiled muslin, were Of various col
ors and were imported from India by
way of England. After these came
umbrellas. which were also made Of
oiled linen, but the linen was coarse
and the umbrella large and bulky.

OF using umbrellas, to keep on the sun.

WANTED HIS moneys PACK"
German Drummer Baked When He
Started to Cross Old Bridge at
Troy, New York.

Albany, n. Y, has historical mu-
scum that contains, among other treas
ure. bass drum dating back to the
great influx of German immigrants
which followed the revolution of 1S48
In Germany, says Cartoons. This in
strument was owned by the first of the
wandering hungry five" bands which
appeared in this country after Marx
and Engels, the industrious cOllabora-
tors, wrote the communist manifesto.
The bass drummer was called "Thick
Head" Schultz. According to music
teacher now living In Albany who
heard Schultz perform in the SOS, he
could play In three different rhythms
at once without making the band mad.
At Troy. ten miles up the Hudson
river from Albany, was one of those
long, old-fashioned inclosed wooden
bridges, unlighted within, like tun-
mel. Looking through it, as one ap-
preached, one saw tiny spot of light
at the far end, as if gazing through
telescope wrong end to.
One day the hungry brass band start
ed across the bridge TO play at barn
raising along the road westward
Schultz had paid the nickel toll when
he happened to look through the long
black space ahead. Then he baked.
