: VH 4 . 'if 1 1 "i ; i r- -i'r-. a lit : '.I i Wat 'Btmnmt The appearance of 1890 diaries in the mar ket remindi us that the year ii ilowly passing in its checks, There is still time for doing something worth recording in the diaries of the present year. If United States Senator Manderson's pro position to appoint a committee to investigate the causes of Corporal Tanner's removal pre vails, the senator should be summoned as the first witness. Few men inthis counrty furnish a n.ore complete reason or explanation why the corporal should have his walking papers. A current paragraph states that there is a spot in Siberia about 30 miles square where the ground has not thawed out for the last 100 years, and where it is frozen to a depth of 60 feet. Why does not somejenterprising scientist dig down underneath Senator Edmunds' resi dence and get a frost item that will beat this over and over? An immense boa constrictor from 'the valley of the Amazon arrived at New York a few days ago on the steamship Augus tine, consigned to Donald Burns a menag erieagent When Mr. Burns went down to claim the constrictor he found that it had got out of its box and was winding about all over the deck. Finally the boa con strictor got Mr. Burn's thumb in his mouth and bit it. The plucky dealer in animals held on to the reptile and put It In a box. His thumb was dressed by a phy sician, and the wound is said to be not serious. USE1U0R EYES CAEFEUI.LY. Sit erect in yur chair when reading and as erect when writing as possible. If you bend downward yon not only gorge the eyes with blood, but the brain as well, and both suffer. The sime rule should apply to the use of the microscope. Get one that will enebl you to look at things horizontally, not always vertically. Have a reading lamp for night use. N. B, In reading, the light should be on the book or paper and the eyes in the shade If you have no reading lamp turn your back to the light, and you may read with out danger to the eyes. Hold the book at your focus ; if that be gins to get far away get spectacles. Avoid reading by the flickering light of the fire. Avoid stralnir.g the eyes by reading in the gloaming. Reading in bed is injurious as a rule. It must be admitted, however, that in oases of sleeplessness, when the mind is In clined to ramble over a thousand thoughts a minute, reading steadies the thoughts and conduces to sleep. Do not read much In a railway carriage. I myself always do, however, only in a good light, and I invariably carry a good reading lamp to hook on behind ni. Thousands of people would travel by night rather than by day if the companies could only see their way to the exclusive use of ' the electric light. Authors should have black-ruled paper instead of blue, and shonld never strain the eyes by reading too fine types. The bedroom blinds should be red or gray, and the head of the bed should be towards the window. Those ladies who not only write but sew should not attempt the black seam bv night. When you come to an age that suggrsts the wearing of spectacles let no false modesty prevent yot fro-.n getting a pair. If you h ive only one eye an eyeglass will do; other-wise it is folly. Go to the wisest and best optician you knowof and state your wants and your case plainly, and be assured you will be properly fitted. Remember that bad spectacles are most injurlons to the eyes, and that good ard well chosen ones are a decided luxury. Get a pair for reading with, and if neces sary a long distance pair for use out of doors. Tailor Made Suits. W. R. Graham has received a large and choice stock of suitings, purchased in the East at bottom prices, and is now located at his old stand, two doors north (if the Democrat office, where he is prepared to make suits and do a general tailoring business In a satlsfac tory manner, his many years of experi ence in Albany speaking for his workman ship.

Pork from Russia, Austria and Denmark has also been shut out, and the result Is that it cost a good deal more to die of trichinosis than it did formerly. Of course the German pork raisers are well pleased, put the average citizen finds the price of a common article ol food greatly increased. Popular feeling on the sub ject is gaining ground in consequence , and it is only a matter of time when the government will be forced to recede trom its present position. Kid moves ! Kid Wives !
