EYE NEEDS REGULAR BATHS
One on Rising and the Other on Re-
tiring Is Recommended to Se-
cure Good Results.
For the daily care of the eyes there
should be two baths. The body must
have its bath. The face must have its
cleansing. Why not the eye? Espe-
cially as the eye, with its thick lid
and the fringe of eyelashes is a dust
trap, and the slightest speck of dust
allowed to remain beneath the lid may
cause irritation of the lid and inflam-
mation of the eye.
For the eye's daily bath 1 offer you
the choice of several lotions. My fa-
vorite is: Ten ounces of purest rose-
water. Apply with an eye cup, turn-
ing the eye cup upside down so that
the half-open eye is completely” wash-
ed by the contents of the cup. Hold
it thus for 30 seconds, or, if not un-
comfortable, for a full minute.
Throw away this rosewater. Rinse
the glass and give the eye a second
bath.
If the eyes are unduly irritated the
bath can be repeated several times.
Ordinarily a bath in the morning on
rising and another at night on retir-
ing are enough.
Some of my friends who have beau-
tiful eyes prefer elderflower water to
rosewater. It is equally good and
should be applied in the same way.
Another excellent eye bath is one-
half an ounce of witch hazel; one-
half an ounce of distilled water.
Shake well in bottle and apply with
an eye cup. One other bath I must
tell you about that is most excellent
for strengthening the eyes: Six drops
of boracic acid, one wine glass of dis-
tilled water.
A bath in borax water is highly
beneficial and has the advantage of
being always convenient. [Even while
traveling one may always carry a box
of borax. Moreover it is safe, because
borax will only form a 4 per cent solu-
tion, that is, only 4 per cent of it will
be absorbed by water. A borax bath
is very strengthening. If the eyes be
delicate or the person so prejudiced
against experiments that she is not
willing to introduce this substance di-
rectly into the eyes, a silk handker-
chief or a soft cloth dipped into borax
water and pressed upon the eyelids is
both efficacious and soothing.
The old-fashioned remedy of cold
tea leaves pressed upon the lids has
value, not from the tea leaves intrinsi-
cally. but from the cool, moist con-
tact. Cloths dipped in water are quite
as good.—New York.-American.
Cultivate Reading Habit.
Much has been said of the impor
tance of forming the right physical
and moral habits early in life, but
the value of the early formation of
reading habits has received little at-
tention, according to Miss Dove of
the Agricultural college at Fort Col-
lins, Colorado. The practice of daily
reading should be begun while in
school and should not be discontinued
later on account of time. Thirty min-
utes a day spent in reading will keep
one up with the current events and
thus widen one’s horizon. Thoughts
may be gathered that will relieve the
monotony and drudgery of the daily
task. Reading not only adds to one’s
daily life but it paves the way for
greater enjoyment later. It is as one
grows older that the habit of reading
becomes most valuable. Fortunate in-
deed is the man who as he withdraws |
from the more active side of life, finds
a world of his own through the open
doorway of good . books. i
Popular Alabama Statesman.
In very recent years Alabama was
represented in the senate by two Con-
~ federate generals, John T. Morgan and
Edmund W. Pettus.
reputation as an orator and statesman
had long eclipsed his reputation as a
soldier. Pettus was one of the most
original and delightful patriarchs who
ever sat in the senate. He had fought
in the Mexican war as well as in the
Civil war, and didn’t come to Wash- |
ington until he was seventy-six years
old. Pugh, his predecessor, had re-
fused to indorse him for appointment
as a federal judge. on the ground that
he was “tco old.” “If I'm too old to
be a judge,” said Pettus, “I'm not too
old to be a senator.” So he made a
campaign for Pugh’s seat and won it.
—New York Tribune.
Morgan's great !
Called Himself an American.
The blood in my veins is mingled,
English, Scotch and Irish. With a
somewhat similar ancestry, some years
ago, Baron Speck von Sternburg, who
was ambassador of Germany to the
United States prior to the recent war,
boasted himself an American. I was
present at a banquet in Berlin one
night when, responding to a personal
toast, he rose and said: “My father
was German, my mother was Scotch
and I was born in England; that
makes me an American.”
The baron’s conclusion was received
with more enthusiasm at that moment
than it would be today.—Melville E.
Stone in Collier's Weekly.
Getting Acquainted.
While traveling recently I beguiled
the hours by trying to win the confl-
dence of a winning but shy child.
My efforts were in vain, so I took
refuge in my book. Soon after a soft
little hand crept into mine slowly, and
a tiny voice said: “I am use-ter to
you than I used to be.”—Chicago Trib-
une.

PLEASANT GAP.
There is but one vacant house at
Pleasant Gap proper, with several
prospective tenants in sight.
Mrs. Frank Britz, of Woodlawn, re-
turned to her home after visiting
friends at the Gap for a week.
Writing for a newspaper is not
such a difficult stunt after all provid-
ing the writer confines himself strict-
ly to ratiocination.
The state surveyors are making
their final survey on our new state
road and driving the stakes for the
guidance of the road builders.
W. T. Stine and family, of Scotia,
moved to the Gap the early part of
last week. He accepted a position as
contractor at the Whiterock lime
works. He is after some of the big
money now being made at Whiterock,
since the recent liberal advance in
wages.
That the excessive use of tobacco
will cause insanity is doubtless true,
yet the probabilities are that in many
cases, where it has been assigned as
the cause of insanity, its excessive use
has been prompted or induced by a
morbid condition of the nervous sys-
tem, which would have eventually led
to the same result.
On Tuesday last eighteen colored
men reported for work at Whiterock.
The corporation needs the men in or-
der to enable them to cope with book-
ed orders. Color is not discriminated
against in this instance. The man
who makes good at Whiterock owing
to the present wage scale is assured
of an independent living. The work-
men seem satisfied with the new ac-
cessions; they evidently think the
black man must live as well as the
“white trash.” One of the old em-
ployees said “we can’t kick since it is
a matter of record that the colored
troops fought nobly at the time of
our unpleasantness south of Mason
and Dixon’s line.” Then again, he
said, “look at the record of Frederick
Douglas, who was a star of considera-
ble magnitude, growing brighter and
brighter in the firmament of fame.
He wrote as well as he spoke; but
there is no magnetism in types.
Douglas belonged to the negro race,
and was in all respects one of its no-
blest types. Physically, mentally and
morally he was a grand specimen of
manhood, and any race might be
proud to claim him as a representa-
tive man. Notwithstanding his un-
popular complexion and unfashiona-
ble kink of his hair, he was rather
prepossessing in appearance. Doug-
las’ eloquence commanded respect
anywhere.” Yes, the eighteen color-
ed men are welcome at Whiterock so
long as they make good and behave
themselves.
Tuesday was General Grant's birth-
day. To the memory of this, the
greatest of Generals, the writer,
though a man of few words, would
like to make a few remarks, if space
is available. All will admit that
Grant was a man of nerve, brain and
heart and a born ruler of men. In the
storm of war he had the same power
over the muscles of his face, and no
bear:r of dispatches, no staff officer,
no commander of the forces could un-
veil the emotions concealed behind the
blank curtain of that immovable face,
because it was not an index to the
ideas and feelings that dominate the
inner man. His iron will had perfect
control of his brain and heart, and no
human eye could penetrate the “se-
crets of his soul.” He was just the
man to use the sword in the surgery
of war, for he had sufficient nerve to
perform the most marvelous opera-
tions without tremer of heart or hand.
‘He was as true to his friends as the
“steel to the star.” He stood by them
a little closer in adversity than in
prosperity, and he was wont to share
the blows aimed at them. . There are
plenty of facts to prove his tender-
ness, his sympathy, his benevolence,
as well as his great will-power and
obstinate firmness. Not having in
this country a throne hereditary, we
enthroned him in our hearts. Gener-
al Grant kept silent when speaking
was hazardous, in the field and at the
White House, but when he returned
to private life he ventured to give
free expressions to all.
“Let us have peace.” This, of all
| the terse sentences spoken or written
by General Grant, will probably be
most quoted. It is characteristic of
the man, yet at variance with that
which would naturally be expected
However, it was the
statesman speaking, rather than the
| soldier. The war had been fought to a
finish, the armies disbanded, and the
swords sheathed forever, or at least
so the people hoped, and a grateful
party had named him as its choice for
President. In response to General
Hawley’s address notifying him of his
nominaion he made the longest speech
of his life, up to that time. “Let us
have peace,” occurs in his letter of ac-
| ceptance, which is a remarkable pa-
| per. It contains about three hundred
| words, yet they cover a wider field
i than has been spread before any nom-
| inee since then, or even before. In
| closing his response he said: “Peace,
{and universal prosperity—its se-
\ quence—with economy of administra-
! tion, will lighten the burden of taxa-
| tion, while it constantly reduces the
i national debt.
“Let us have peace.” A most fit-
ting close to such a paper at such a
time. It became the slogan of the
party, and did much to secure the re-
markably large vote returned for
him. He was not the man for the pol-
iticians, but seeing that he was the
people’s choice, they made him theirs.
Although trained for war, and a man
of war, he was for peace, even if he
had to fight for it. In reply to Gen-
eral Lee’s note asking what the term
of surrender would be, he said: “In re-
ply, I would say that peace being my
great desire, there is but one condi-
tion I would insist upon—namely, that
the men and officers surrendered shall
be disqualified for taking up arms
again against the government of the
United States until properly exchang-
ed.” Today the nation joins in a
grand memorial tribute to the man
who so loved a peaceful life and who
so freely offered his life to secure it.
He has left an example for both the
soldier and statesman of the future;
an example that will apply in all times
to come.
“Let us have peace,” may with pro-
priety be written across the face of
our national escutcheon. Peace must
. be maintained in order to preserve the
! nation.

forefathers may have the fullest fru-

An old man called me away irom
his associates a few evenings ago and
asked me the pointed question: “Do
you think it is a sin or a crime for a
man who has always been industrious,
but unfortunately was most all the
time the possessor of an empty pock-
et?” 1 said that depended on circum-
stances. In your case I don’t regard it
as a sin or a crime. But it is a sin of
the rankest order, in the poverty caus-
ed by wasting hard earned money in
drinking, gambling, and over-indul-
gence of any kind. The pocket that
is empty because its possessor is lazy,
dissipated or reckless, is a crime
against humanity. Its emptiness en-
tails misery, suffering and inconven-
ience upon those who are in no way
responsible for its condition. Thus it
becomes a crime. All cannot be
wealthy any more than all can be tall.
Some will be short and some wiil be
dwarfs. It may, therefore, be expect-
ed that some will be poor; not for a
lack of desire to be well off, or of ef-
fort to be so, but merely because they
have not the ability to earn and save
“Let
us have peace,” that the hopes of our |
sufficient to tide them over seasons of
enforced idleness. How is it that the
great majority of our millionaires are
the sons of poor parents? There was
Russell Sage, who spent his early
days as errand boy in a Troy grocery.
He got the greater portion of his
learning by studying at night. Hav-
ing no expectations from his father,
he set out to make his own way, and
he made it. Russell Sage is but a
specimen of all our wealthy men, in-
cluding the elder Bennett, Astor, Pea-
body, Vanderbilt, Stewart and a host
of others. They went at it philosoph-
ically, followed a settled course and
achieved success. Their fortunes were
not thrust upon them, but grew from
small beginnings. What they did was
to nourish and cultivate them. A ma-
jority of those who are continually
growling about the rich growing rich-
er and the poor growing poorer, would
not keep a fortune if they had it.
Their habits would make a pauper of
the elder Rockefeller and convert his
son into a tramp. If our working peo-
ple were to study philosophy more and
socialism less, put more pennies into
the savings bank and fewer into sa-
loon tills, and desire contentment
rather than wealth, they would find
that the life of a laborer is not such a
hard life after all. In many instanc-
es it has proven to be a much happier
life than that enjoyed by the wealthy.
It is certainly a mistaken idea that an
empty pocket is the worst of crimes,
in the same sense that the poor are
looked down upon as much as if they
had committed some offense. Some
people may look down upon them but
they are not worthy of consideration.
A Rap at Reggie.
Reggie—That stunning looking girl
over there has been gazing at me for
the past ten minutes. She must be
trying to make an impression.
Miss Keen—Very likely; people
generally use something soft for that
purpose.

Mabel—What do you think! Jack
proposed to me last night.
Maude—Did he? He got into that
habit when he used to call on me.
