HUB THE OTHER EYE.
0oo4 Advlca of an EnglnMT iUgMdlBft
the Removal of oinden.
Nine persona out of every ten with a
cinder or any foreign substance in the
eye will instantly begin to rub the eye
with one hand while hunting for their
handkerchief with the other, They
may and sometimes do. remove the of
funding cinder, but more frequently
they rub until the eye becomes in
flamed, bind a handkerchief around
the head, and go to bed. This is all
wrong. The batter way is not to rub
the eye with the cinder in It at all, but
rub the other eye as vigorously as you
like, according to a writer in the Med
ical Summary, who relates the follow
ing experience:
''A few years since I was riding on
the engine of a fast express. The en
gineer threw open the front window,
and I caught a oindor that gave me the
most excruciating pain. I began to
rub the eye with both hands. 'Let
your eye alone and rub the other eye'
(this from the engineer). I thought he
was chaffing me, and worked the
harder. 'I know yon doctors think
. you know it all, but if you will let that
eye alone and rub the other one, the
cinder will be out in two minutes,' per
sisted the engineer. I began to rub
the other eye; soon I felt the cinder
down near the inner cauthus, and
made ready to take it out. 'Let 'it
alone and keep nt the well oye, 'shouted
the doctor pro tern. I did so for a min
ute longer, and looking in a small
glass he gave me found the offender on
my cheek. Since then I have tried it
many times, and have advised many
others, .and have never known it to
fitil iu one instance, unless it was as
sharp as a piece of steel or something
mat cut into the ball and required an
operation to remove it."
SAWING WOOD.
The Old Man Was gomowhat Potted on
Unman Nature.
"Mornin', boys," said Old Jack, who
believed in judicious flattery, and
whose doings arc reported in Harper's
Young People. As he spoke he laid
down his saw. "Feelin' well, 1 hope?
Yes? Good. Nothin' like feelin' well
to make a feller feel good. You don't
look powerful strong though, Tummy;
. you're thin.
"What's that? You're wiry, be ye?
I don't believe that You couldn't saw
one o' them sticks through, You kin?
Ho! Seein's believin'l
"Why, ye kin saw purfwell. Yer
stronger'n ye look. I couldn't o' done
that better myself. He beats you on
; sawin', I guess, Bobby. Eh? He can't?
Yes, he kin. I believe. Boat ye all hol
ler. What? You'll saw two sticks
quicker'n he sawed that? Nonsunsl
"ilokuyl ye went through that like
lightnin'; but one stick ain't two sticks.
No, sir. One ain't never two. Coin' to
do the other? Well, - well! Tommy,
. he's goin' to do the other; whatever
you goin' to do? YouUl do two?
' Don't brag, Bobby. Aint braggin'?
Ye'U do three? Waal, gowhead; don't
let me interfere. A Hers glad to see
toys spunky. What! the hull lot sawed?
Waal, I'm snrnrised. That bein' the
case, I think I'll go indoors an' rest.
Sawin' alien did make nie tired."
The old man walked into the house, i
Bnd Bobby and Tommy Went home,
wondering if their friend hadn't put up I
a mtie game on them, after ail.
THE CONSCIENCE FUND.
: JTonnded Early in This Century, It How
Amount, to About S270,ooo.
The "Conscience Fund" lias figured
in the statements of the treasury de
partment for overehrhty years, says F.
L. Crisinan in Lippincott's. It . was
opened by the register of the treasury
department in Mil and appears in the
general fund of the govorument under
the head of miscellaneous receipts.
Like other assets of the treasury it can
be used for any purpose that congress
may deem proper. Its origin was due
to the fact that away hack in the be
ginning of the present century some
unknown person began to feel the sharp
thrusts of conscience. In some way he
had defaulted the government, and
could find relief only by returning the
money to the treasury. This was the
beginning of the account showing the
receipts of moneys by the government
fromunknown persons. Since then the
fund has been accumulating in large
and small sums, until at the present
time it aggregates nearly 4270,000. Re
mittances arc received nearly every
week. During the prevalence of the
hard times the receipts have fallen off
considerably, and sometimes a fort
night elapses before a communication
,,is received, showing that even a man's
conscience can feel the effect of tight
money. .
DANGERS IN THE MINES.
Small Fay for Men Who Am Likely at
Any Time to Be HnfTornted.
Great and mystically dreadful is the
earth from a mine's depth, says Mc
Clurc's Magazine. Man is in the im
placable grasp of nature. It hus only
to tighten slightly and he is crushed
like a bug. His loudest shriek of
agony would be as potent as his final
moan to bring help from tliat fair land
that lies, like heaven, over his head.
There is an insidious silent enemy in J
tho gas. If the huge fanwheel on the i
top of the earth should stop for a brief
period there is certain death, and a
panic more terrible than any occurring
where the sun lias shone ensues down
under the tons of rock. If a man may
eBoapc the gas, the floods, the "squeezes"
of fulling rock, the cars shooting
through little tunnels, the precarious
elevators, the hundred perils, there
usually comes to him an attack of
"miner's asthma" tliut slowly racks
and shakes him into the grave. Mean
while, he gets three dollars a day and
his laborer one dollar.
Guarded bv Soidlen,
The Bank of Germany, like moat
other German public buildings, has a
military guard to protect it. In a very
strongly-fortified military fortress at
Spandau is kept thegreat war treasure

i'rarioh indemnity, amouaUtik to HV'

FRENCH SOIL IN GERMANY.
Blttorle Spots That Did Not uo with Al.
see and Lorraine.
It is not generally known that tiit
French still retain two little pieces of
German soil one in Alsace itself and
ihe other in Baden. The monument
which Napoleon oreated in 18i in
honor of Gen. Desaix, who fell at Ma
rengo, stands in a small gnrden near
the bridge of boats over the Kliine at
Kohl. Desaix had defended the hrkhre
with great bravery against the Aus
trians. The monument and Garden
were declared by the peace of Frank
fort to be French property, and they
remain unto this day.
Till eleven years ago, says the ruts
burgh Dispatch, this little piece of
French soil regularly had a French vet
eran as sentinel, who lived iu a little
house In the well-kept grounds; but at
that time the German government of
fered to take charge of this pieeo of
France, and the 1 offer was accepted hy
the French government. The place is
now prettily laid out and is guarded
by a sentinel from the garrison at
Stntsburg.
The property of the French republic
In the duchy of Baden lies iu the par
ish of Achcrn, which has a station on
the Baden State railway. It is the site
01 the Turcnne monument, a granite
obelisk, with a medallion and inBcrip
tion. The land on which the monu
ment stands has been French property
since 1075 till tho present day, and It is
still guarded by a French military pen
sioner, who lives upon the spot.
At the beginning of the Franco-German
war in 1870, a party of Baden fire
eaters proposed to reclaim this small
piece of land, but the Baden govern
ment, with a chivalrous international
loyalty, put a stop to the attempt.
A WISE ROBIN
The Little Bird (jot a Drink In a Very
Cleror Manner.
That was a charming object lesson
which was noticed in the yard at the
"Hickories." up Windsor avenue, in
Hartford, and it was an instruc
tive lessun in helping oneself 1 as
well. Midway between the house and
barn is located a large cask as a drink
ing place for the horses.
Usually, of course, this tub is nearly
full, but at the time referred to, the
water lacked quite a little of reaching
the top. Along came a robin, spinsiivr
over the ground like mud, -only slim-
ping for a moment, as is his wont, to
listen. Reaching the tub lie quickly
vaulted to the edge. A look of disap
pointment was visible when he arched
his pretty neck so that one eye could
look down at the water. It was too
far away and the bird trotted around
quite ill at ease. The faucet was leak
ing just a trifle only a drop at a time
drop, drop, drop and the robin's eye
finally caught the crystals and the lit
tle fellow almost shouted for joy as he
danced around to that side of the tub.
Placing himself directly underneath
the outlet, he threw back his head,
opened his beak, and thereafter each
drop landed in his parched throat.
More than a dozen drops disappeared
down the narrow channel: then the
robin bowed his head just a little, so
that'thc cooling drops landed on the
top of it, and trickled down on either
side. Then it flew away to a neighbor
ing tree, as content and happy as if at
peace with all the world.
UNCLE SAM, JUNK DEALER,
He Has Price List of tho Old Trumpery
Ho DlapOMft Of.
Uncle Sam is a sort of second-hand
dealer and runs a good-sized junk shop
on his own hook, Not only that, says
the New York Advertiser, but lie sends
out circulars to those of inquiring turn
of mind, with descriptions nud price
lists of his wares, just as a second-hand
book dealer or postage stamp or coin
collector would do.
If a grand army post should conclude
to festoon the rafters of its armory
with old muskets and antique scab
bards it will find Uncle Sam riyht on
hand, for, though he has disposed. f
all his heavy arms, he has innumerable
old pistols, muskets, bayonets and
sabers which he is nut averse to dis
posing of ut a fair price, ami lie will
promptly forward a printed price list
showing the comparative newness or
antiquity of his second-band wares and
warranting the articles to be exactly
as represented and to lil! the bill pre
cisely for decorative purposes. And
they are offered very cheap, too. One
can buy an old sword, bloodstained
and full of memories oi furious charges
and well-sustained assault?, for t'.von-'
ty-five cents, a horse pistol for a dime
or a Spencer breech-loader for seven
dollars, other articles varying to suit.
BABIES OF THE YEAR.
Their Cradle WoulakFormn Line Around
the World,
Could the infants of a year be ranged
in cradles, says a statistician, the cra
dles would extend round the globe.
The same writer looks at the matter in
a more pieturesquelight. lie imagines
the babies being carried pail. a given
point in their mothers' arms, one by
one, and the procession being kept up
night and day until the last hour in the
twelve months had passed by. .
A sufficiently -liberal rate is allowed,
bat even la the going past at the rate
of twenty a minute, twelve hundred an
hour, during the entire year, the re- I
viewer at his post would only have
seen tlft sixth partof the infantile host.
Jn other words, the balje.tlatt had to
beearriedwhen the tramp began, would
be able to walk when but a mere fraction
of its comrades had reached the re
viewer's post, and when the year's sup
ply of babies was drawing to a clc3e
there would be a rear guard, not of in
fants, but of romping six-year-old boys
and girls. This will be rather a start
ling calculation to the many who do
not dabble in figures.
