HI urn iin 11 RIVr*UU*MU^ Conerning YOUR EYE5 So Few People have eyes that are ^erfeet, both for near and far vision, that everybody should have their sight tested accurately on the first symptoms of eye-strain. It is a Great Mistake to put off visiting an Optician until the eyes, from sheer neglect, can no linger do their work. Common Spectacles chosen at random, can do considerable damage to the eyesight therefore, always visit a competent optician when you feel the need of spectacles, when you will have your eyes tested hy scientific methods. You Lose Nothing as no charge is made for testing the sight; and if glasses are not necessary you will be told so. Chidnen's Eyes should always be examined if they are at all dull or backward in learning, as this is frequently due to difficulty in seeing and many a child,apparently dull-witted, becomes quick and bright after being fitted with proper glasses. Particular- Attention is given to fr une-fititng, so that the full benefit can be derived from the lenses, which is impossible wit-i-i ili-fitting frames.

Wise and Otherwise. Cook, you must take a week's notice, your cooking doesn't suit me." Well, the boarders all seem to like it." "Yes; that a why I must get another cook Eben: Dearest, when shall I get the marri- age licence? Flo: Not until I have worn for a few months the engagement-ring you are go- ing to buy for me." Benevolent Old Gentleman: Now then, little boy, what do you mean by bullying that little girl? Don't you know it's very cruel?" Rude Little Boy: "Garn! Wot's the trouble? She's my sweetheart! We are having an awful time at our house. The cook says she feels like leaving our employ every time she catches sight of my wife." And what are you doing about it? I'm trying to get my wife to take a long vacation." The Heiress: "Have you seen papa?" The Duke: Yes. It's all off." The Heiress:" You don't mean to say that he refused to give his consent?" The Duke: "Oh, no. He said he'd give his consent-but not another cent." Mr. Peck: This talking machine record is filled with a few remarks by Mrs. Peck." Old- batch: "It's wonderful to think that you can hear the voice of one who is not present." Mr. Peck: And more wonderful that I can stop it just as easily." Hairdresser: "I am told there is fever in the hair, sir." Customer: "Good gracious! Then I hope you are very particular with your brushes? Hairdresser: "Oh, I don't mean the 'air of the 'ead, sir; I mean the hair of the h atmosphere." Jenks: The bose told me this morning that I looked as if I had gone to bed with my clothes on. I told him pretty sharply that he was mis- taken." Clark:" Oh, come, now you know you did it." Jenks: "I did not! These are my brother's clothes." An old woman was profuse in her gratitude to a magistrate who had dismissed a charge against her. "I thought you wouldn't be 'ard on me, your worship," she, remarked as she left the dock. I know how often a kind 'art beats be- 'ind a ugly face." "Lady," said meandering Mike, "you don't want to listen to no hard-luck story, do you?" Not a bit of it." You relieve my mind. If you want to hear somethin' worth while you jes' gimme a chance to shew what I kin do as an after-dinner speaker." Mabel (studying her lesson): Papa, what is the definition of volubility ? Mabel's Father: My child, volubility is a distinguishing feature of your mother when, on aceount of urgent busi- ness affairs, I don't happen to reach home until two o'clock in the morning." I trust, Miss Smith," remarked a persever- ing young man as he rose to depart, that I have not taken up too much of your valuable time? Not at all," replied the girl. The time you have taken up has been of no value to me whatever, I assure you Wife: "Oh, George, can it be true? I was told you were intoxicated last night." George: What a calumny Who has dared to say such a thing? Why, Mr. Smith told his wife so." Mr. Smith! Why, he was lying beside me under the table worse than I was." A countryman who applied to a student to direct him the shortest way to the police-station received the following answer: Just step into the jeweller's shop across the road, pick up a diamond bracelet, then walk straight out, and you will be there in a few minutes." Mamma: "I am delighted at the interest my boy is taking in his writing. He spends two hours a day at it." Visitor: "Really? How strange! How did you get him to do it?" Mamma: Oh, I told him to write me out a list of everything he wants for his birthday, and he's still at it." The doctor had been summoned hastily, and he, alighted from his carriage with a grave face. "I understand," he said, "that your boy has I swallowed a shilling. Where is he?" Oh, sir," was the reply, "I'm glad to tell you we made a mistake—it wasn't a shilling, it was only a halfpenny." With groans and hisses the audience greeted the great scene of the new drama. All hope, then, was at an end. It's hard to tell just what the public wa its," murmured the heart-broken play- wright. It's easy enough to tell in this case," said the manager, grimly, that it wants its money back." I understand that our friend Hunter," said Joakley, is working on a big money-making scheme to remove weeds." The idea! ex- claimed Coakley. I didn't know he took any interest in gardening." "He doesn't. He's merely laying his plans to capture old Gotrox's pretty widow." A poor man was asking for help in the street when he was stopped by a gentleman who said to him: My good man, do you know that for- tune knocks at everyone's door?" "Yes," re- plied the man, but when he knocked at my door I was out, so he sent his daughter instead, Mis(s) Fortune." Sister (to elderly prodigal who is much given to pawning his things): "What's this ticket on yer coat, Sandy? Sandy That was the nicht I was at McPhearson's ball; they tack yer coat from ye at the door and gie ye a ticket for't." Sister: H'rri—aye—I see the's one pinned on yer troosers as well." Canvasser: Are you single?" Man at the Door: Yes." Why, the people next door told me you were married." So I am." Yet you told me just now you were single." Yes, so I did." Well, what is the matter with you? Nothing, sir. My name is Single, and I'm married. Good-day, sir." "Bertie," cried the disgusted neighbour, "your mother is calling you." Yes'm, I know," replied Bertie. "But she don't want me very bad." "Not want you very badly? Why, she's called you seven times at least al- ready." I know she has, mum. But that's nuthin'. She ain't called me Albert' yet." A tramp who asked for breakfast at a farm- house, and was refused a single csust, exclaimed with an injured air: Alas i how deceptive is human nature! For two nights I have slept in your barn, eaten of your apples, and drunk your cider, and now you treat me as an utter stranger, who has no hold upon your friend- ship." Our cook, said the family man, had a beau who called on her often, but finally his visits ceased. I asked her one day what had become of her former attentive beau, and she said he had got married. Since'he got married," said she, he don't come around any more." Mar- ried? said I, surprised. Why, I thought he would marry you!" "So did," said the cook. cook. Sir," said the trembling suitor, "you are a millionaire, and I am a potman. But my love for your daughter is so great that I cannot be stopped by any consideration as to my poverty. Love scorns conveniences and conventions. Sir, give her to me! But which of my four daughters do you want? asked the old man, not unkindly. Oh, sir," came the eager reply, I'll leave that to you I" She (angrily): Why do they deny the right of suffrage to women because they are not soldiers? Don't you think women, if called upon, could fight? "-He (deprecatingly): "I suppose they could if it came to the scratch." By the way, what has become of Brown's book, One Hundred Short Cuts to Wealth,' that he was working so hard upon last year? Oh, Brown finished the book all right, but was unable to raise money enough to have it pub- lished." Alas sighed the tramp, dramatically, no matter where I turns there's a 'and raised against me! Which shows you ought to be I thankful for one thing," said the big farmer.— "What's that? That it ain't a foot wot's raised!

RANDOM READINGS. A MYSTERIOUS MUMMY. The authentic history—so far as it can fee traced-of the mysterious mummy case at the British Museum which has afflicted with unao- oountable misfortune so many of those who have i come into contact with it is the theme of am article of no little interest in Pearsoiit Maga- zine. In a dark corner of the First Egyptian Room in the British Museum stands the oovec for a mummy, portraying a nameless Egyptian woman, who lived in Thebes thirty-five centuries ago. Her long hands are crossed upon her breast, and her dark eyes stare strangely for- ward into vacancy. About the middle of the sixties a party of five friends went in a dahabia for a trip up the Nile. They went to Luxor, on their way to the Second Cataract, and there ex- plored Thebes, with its temple to Amen-Ra, un- equalled on earth in its ruined magnificence. A well-known English lady of title entertained the party, and the Consul, Mustaph Agra, gave a fete in their honour. One night the Consul eeni; to his friends an Arab, who reported lie had just found a mummy case of unusual woifch. Next morning he brought the case for inspection. It was seen to picture a woman's face, of 8tra beauty, but of a COLD MALIGNITY OF EXPRESSION. The case was bought by one of the party, Mr. D., who, however, agreed to draw lots witih the others for possession of the treasure; and the case passed to a friend, whom we may call Mr. W. From that time its history has been dearly traced-a history marked by an unooomy series of fatalities, which appear not to have ceased, even after the case found its abode among m thousand similar relics. On the return journey of the party, one of the members was shot acci- dentally in the arm by his servant, through » gun exploding without visible cause. The aim had to be amputated. Another died im poverty within a year. A third was shot. Tfie owner of the mummy case found, on reaching Cairo, that he had lost a large part of his fortune, and died soon afterwards."
DEATH-BED VISIONS.

DEATH-BED VISIONS. It is better to know the truth. Dr. T. D. Spencer has observed, in reference to the pheno- mena of death, than to cherish 6, how- ever pleasing it be, founded on ewer. The traditions and superstitions of the past kave led to a popular belief in the theory that the beatifio visions which often come to the dfiag are momentary views of those mysteries hitlieorto unknown; but science, with itsieolloeJastio hand, has swept away the pleasing fancy, and in its place has constructed a fabric founded on analogy. Anaesthetics and asphyxia ivoma drown- ing or charcoal fumes often produce disordered fancies exactly like those preceding death, and the natural inference is that they result in both cases from one and the same cause. During the last moments of life the mind gradually loses cognisance of external surroundings, and is rapt in self contemplation. Though still in a semi- conscious condition, the weepuuj of friends and voices of attendants fall upon dull eMS. The eyelids are closed, the pupils slighMy rolkd up- ward and inward. The dying man has fozgotten the present, for he is living in the past. One by one the events of a whole life appear, its joya and sorrows, perchance long since forgotten, rise before him in startling distinctness, and theml disappear in the moving panorama. The fami- liar faces ofi the friends of his youth are thrown upon the mental retina, their cheery voices re- verberate in his ears, and the thought of meet- ing these friends in the near future is perhaps his last conscious impression. As this drowsi- ness creeps over the system, these images, moulded from the past, become as realities to the disordered imagination. The geraas from which originate these strange combinations have probably been lying dormant for years in the registering ganglia of the brain."
THE TRUE ART OF JOCKEYSHIP.

THE TRUE ART OF JOCKEYSHIP. A fall from a tired horse, even though you fall clear, very often ends in additional disaster, for it probably occurs at the end of a race, or to- wards the end of it, and the risk then to the jockey is of the other horses, in rear efhim at the time, jumping on him. One of the first rules a jockey should bear in mind in this case, and, in fact, in most cases, writes Captain the Hon. Charles Coventry in Fry's Magazine, is that he should retain his recumbent position until he is sure that the other horses are past him. I have seen jockeys get up, and get knocked down again for their pains, which is sure to mean severe injury and if they are not knocked down they may cause other horses to swerve and so lose their chanoo of winning the race. This rule does not, of course, apply to a fall early in a race, when the horse is not tired and the jockey retains his hold of the reins. Tired and beaten horses must on no account be driven at their fences, or the result is bound to be a fall; they must be held well together and balanced, and this is the true art of jockeyship.
HOW POISONS WERE TRIED ON…

HOW POISONS WERE TRIED ON MAN. From a very early period science has been gradually built up by experimental methods, and even the ancients were cognisant of the fact that the remedial properties of substances could only be proved by actual experiment. Not only ani- mals, but human beings, says the Hospital, were utilised for this purpose by many famous physi- cians in the Middle Ages. Criminals who had been condemned to death were generally selec- ted for these experiments. Vivisection of the live human subject was practised by the Alex- andrian school in the times of the Ptolemies. Erasistratus and Herophilus, pupils of Chry- eippus of Cnidus, experimented upon 668 con- demned criminals handed over to them by Ptolemy Soter. Their conduct, however, met with the reprobation of their conporaries. Celsus and Galen reproached Iloroptekis with cruel and useless sacrifices of human feeling, while Tertullian called him roundly aa execu- tioner who gave lingering death with refined cruelty." The Court physicians of Attalus (King of Pergamus) and Mithcridates (King of Pontus) were authorised in virtue of their office to try poisons on criminals, and were aewused by their jealous colleagues of pluming, themselves uoon their privileges, while less favoured prac- titioners were com-pelled to content themselves with cocks and dogs to experiment upon. Brassa- vola of Ferrara studied little-known and. doubt- ful remedies by testing their effects on criminals, and Fallopius, his pupil, who eventually made such important physiological discoveries, fol- lowed his master's example. It is recorded that Cosmo de Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, on one occasion, ordered the magistrates of Pisa to lowed his master's example. It is recorded that Cosmo de Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, on one occasion ordered the magistrates of Pisa to hand over two men to Fallopius, is order that ho may put them to death in whatever way he pleases, and then anatomise them." Fallopius, however, seeing the men were condemned to death, seems to have acted with both dignity and humanity. He gave them each eight grains of opium; one died and the other recovered. Cosmo pardoned the latter unfortunate, but, if we may believe contemporary records. Fallopius did not: he gave the man eight grains more, and thi £ tim died. Husband: "How do you like the view?" Wife (with ecstasy): Oh, I am speechless." Husband: Well, if that be so, I think we had better stay here for a while." When my office-boy fails to shew up I accept no excuse other than that of sickness or death in the family." Sounds like a good plan." It is. He always has such an excuse." The Debtor: "I'm sorry, sir, but I can't pay that bill this month." The Creditor: "But that's what you told me a month ago!" The Debtor: Well, didn't I keep my word? They're very natural." What These dolls that close their eyes when you put them to bed." I see nothing natural about that. It would be natural if they opened their eyes and yelled."
