"When you are cross eyed," said the optician, leaning over his tray of glasses, "it if simply the result of having used one eye more than the other. A child is born, let us say, with one of his eyes considerably the stronger. That is something often happening. Sometimes the difference in the visual power of the two eyes may come when he is several years old. This defect is in no way apparent to parent or nurse, and the consequence is that the child very soon gets in the way of becoming almost dependent on the stronger eye. N®», hang one of your arms down at your side and use the other almost entirely, become quite dependent on .it, and you will find out how quickly the muscles of the unused arm get flabby and flaccid. Well, that is just how it is with the eye. The muscles of the one that is so little used become soft and lax and lose their control over the eyeball so far that it falls into that position which produces cross eyed sight—where the rays of light coming to it Intersect those that come to the other eye. After this has fully developed an operation is the only remedy. This is cutting these flabby and worse than useless muscles and releasing the eye. In due time these muscles will grow again.

W hile, in common with the rest of mankind, misfits occur in vocations, and a good shoemaker is occasionally spoiled to make a very poor teacher, it is a fact that wherever a deaf mute works with the hand or brain in a position proportionate to his ability, he is generally found somewhere near the top. In illustration of the faculty to notice and master what would ordinarily escape others, a deaf mute, now a distinguished Pennsylvania divine, after completing a course in an English university, was examined at Yale college for a special degree. The examiner noticed that in certain mathematical work the deaf mute was especially quick, and after the examination inquiries led to the discovery that the deaf mute had been using a valuable system he had evolved from his Cambridge tuition, and for an hour or two professor and pupil changed places, to the everlasting profit of the former. ■loiu and Trades.

They are living in a present whose work renders the future secure. Their organizations are strong and the work beneficially practical The schools take more and more the complexion given them by the alumni. Educators of the deaf find that the suggestion of the graduate, based on his own experience, is worthy of a place in the plan of guidance for future educational work. While educated by special processes 'deaf mutes cannot be classed as defective—i. e., persons incapable of being taught to care for themselves in the world, as is true of the insane, idiotic and feeble minded.

Driven beyond their camp tho Union troops halted a moment, dressed up their lines, and prepared to meet the foe. Although there had been a lull in the attack, never for a moment had there been an entire cessation of firing.

A LOW, EARNEST PKAYEll WAS BEINO OFFERED. M. MeUhac, the new French academician, told an amusing story of Lablche's early experiences as a dramatist in his inaugural discourse. He offered his first piece to the manager of a small and long ago vanished house on the left bank of the Seine—the Theatre du Pantheon. The manager happened to be a hatter, and three or four other tradesmen In the same line of business were associated with him in the enterprise. They all assembled to hear the author read his piece. When he was about half way through the first act one of the company took up the youpg dramatist's hat, glanced into it, passed it on with a significant shake of the head to his neighbor, and so it went from hand to hand till it finally reached the manager himself. No sooner did hid eye light on the business label stamped on the lining of the crown than he put an end to the reading, declaring that the piece was not at aU the sort of thing they wanted at that house. Labiche, who had one eye on his manuscript and the other on his hat while it was going the round, knew perfectly well what was coming, and submitted to his fate without a word. He had bought the unlucky beaver in a shop on the right bank of the river.—San Francisco Argonaut. The schools are part of the common school system of the country, and are cheerfully supported as such by the various commonwealths. But as these are schools for the bearing a higher grade supported by private beneficence and endowment, so should there be facilities for special scholastic, artistic'and industrial education of the deaf. People should understand that schools for the deaf are in no more sense charitable institutions than is Ccrnell university, for instance, and that donations and bequests are as much proper and necessary for the oue as for the other.—Pittsburg Dispatch. , heard a year and a half before on his last visit to the dear old farm-housa.

"Wall, I declar, what do't all mean!" he finally gasped. Explanations were soon made and Mr. Neff told how that ho had come near to Pittsburg Landing hoping to see his son, and that he learned that he was wounded and got some very nice soldiers to show him to the place. Upon examination of Albert's wound Luke was soon satisfied that it was not necessarily fatal. But it was evident that Colonel Morgan was dying, and could live but a few hours at most. He was still stroug, however, and told them that he was shot on thq second day when tha lighting was almost over. He had fallen back several hundred rods from the enemy and was riding along a ridgo when a singie rifle-shot rang out from the bushes on his left and he fell pierced in the breast by a bullet. "Yes, Blackhawk, I have forgiven you that." Foods of the Mind. In a moment the men were prone upon the earth and taking advantage of such shelter as they could find. Colonel Mason bowed his head, and for a moment was lost in paiuful thought. Then, wit h a sigh, he said: We are conscious that the food of the body influences the health of the mind, as when we say of some unsuitable or indigestible thing, "it has made me dull of mind, it has made me sad, it has made me irritable, or has in some other way affected my equanimity." But we do not recognize with like readiness and in the same way the effect of the foods of the mind on the mind and its health; nor is t.hia remarkable, for the body feeds perceptibly, and by one stomach while the mind feeds imperceptibly by ffJte stomachs, by every sense, which is to it a veritable stomach, from and by which it receives its aliment, be that good or bad, and from and by which it is renewed and from day to day sustained.

The forest, which but a few days betore had been the scene of such a pandemonium, was now silent as the tomb. The intense darkness, broken only here and there by the ghoulish-like lights that flitted about, seemed to cast an appalling gloom over the battle-field, magnifying instead of decreasing its horrors. The trustees of the Boston Public library have decided to adopt a plan of action which will no doubt have a decided tendency to stop the spread of diphtheria and other contagious diseases among those who make use of the library books. Hereafter the board of health will cause the library card in each family where a contagious disease is found to exist to be stamped, so as to indicate the presence of such a disease there.

The incessant roar, the crash of cannon, falling of branches and even trees, cut down by the artillery, the dying men and horses, and rivulets so tinged by human gore as to look like streams of blood, with piles of slain in every direction, made it seem like a day in perdition. The half of Shiloh never has been, and never can be told. Ten thousand incidents escapo the minds of narraters every time they attempt its description.

Friend and foe were at times so intermingled that it was difficult to tell one from the other. Blinded by smoke, deafened by earthquaking-reports and burning with thirst they scarce were humans. The forest was filled with small game, such as abound in the woods. The poor little birds and animals paralyzed with fear, by that continuous roar and din, seemed incapable of flight. Luke saw birds sitting on limbs from which they refused to stir until knocked off by the soldiers or hit by a stray shot. Hares were so frightened that they sat crouched upon the ground until kicked over by the soldiers, and then they would only hop away a short distance and crouch to the earth again, too much terrified to leave the field. " It wu a day in hell/" " Are you acquainted with this country?" Colonel Masou asked Blaokhawk as they passed beyond the outlying pickets. armies.

A long life, Charles Dudley Waruer discovered during a tour in Mexico, which he described under the title of "Mexican Notes," that the art supposed to be lost of making iridescent tiles and pottery, which was known to the Saracens in Spain, has been preserved in Mexico. Iridescent tiles, but little inferior to those of the Saracens, found in the Alhambra, are made In a remote mountain village in the state of Guanajuato. Mr. Warner took much pains to trace the origin of some pottery he purchased in western Mexico. The discovery is worthy of attention. Some other curious arts still live in Mexico. There are but few makers of this rare pottery, and the product of their labor has only a local sale.—Rochester Democrat Perfect Health, " Blackhawk, won't you explain that mystery to me, at which you have intimated t ime and again?

Robert, of Stenay, France, has patented a rapid mode of converting iron into steel by providing means for maintaining constant relations throughout the whole period of conversion, which is effected by varying the position and volume of the blast. He applies a blast of air to a body of molten metal at a maximum pressure at the beginning of the operation, and after thus overcoming the inertia of the metal and imparting to it the proper speed of gyratory motion he lowers the level of the blast, without carrying it into the body of the metal, and varies its pressure and volume in accordance with the requirements caused by the reduction in the combustible eloments of the iron and the increased fluidity of the metal.—New York Telegram. The richest soil in the world, " Blackhawk, where were you during the battle?" The right hand of fellowship to every one, "Right in 't, massa. from fust to last.

The chuckle of infinite satisfaction which followed this sent a thrill of horror through Luke's frame, and he almost loathed the cold-blooded, heartless African. In order to change the subject he asked: The first thing Luke saw after coming out of his tent was a body of Union soldiers running toward them across the old field He also-noted that the sun was just rising, for the bare arms of the old snags were here and there tipped with fire.

Having 100,000 acres from which to select, we can suit you in PRICE, "We'll need them "It's a general attack, then?" "Yes." Etiquette at Washington has undergone some curious developments. The ladies of the cabinet and the ladies of the senate are quite as important factors on ceremonial occasions as the men of the cabinet and the senators. Formerly, at the beginning of each session of congress, the head of each department must pay a visit to each senator; but John Quincy Adams declined to be bound by the custom, asserting in a pithy letter that the government of the United States was for the transaction of business, and not to pay formal visits to senators or other persons. The effect was greatly to reduce the burden of Washington etiquette.—St Louis Globe- Democrat location and terms.

A Fellow Feeling. A new process of hardening plaster, so as to make it available for the construction o( floors in place of wood, has been brought before the French Academy of Science by U. Julte. A mixture of six parts of plaster of good quality and one part of finely sifted, recently slaked white lime is employed like ordinary plaster. After it has become thoroughly dry, the object manufactured from it is saturated with a solution or any sulphate whatever whose base is precipitated in an insoluble form by lime. The sulphates specially recommended for the purpose are those of iron and zinc. In order to obtain the maximum of hardness and tenacity, it is necessary to temper the limed plaster well In as brief ft space of time as possible, and with no more water than is strictly necessary.—New York Mail and Express.

The idea that the British troops in the war of independence did not take aim, but fired from the position of "charge bayonets," is simply preposterous. At the battle of Fontenoy, in 1745, Voltaire tells that two English battalions, the Guards and Royal Scotch, met face to face a battalion of French Guards and a Swiss battalion at a distance of fifty paces. The story is well known. The English colonel, Lord Charles Hay, cried out, "Messieurs, tirez." They answered, "Wear# the French Guard and never fire first."

They had gone until they struck the main line of the enemy, and wore hurled backward like chaff before a whirlwind, bringing their wounded Colonel with them. Several thousand skirmishers had been hastily deployed to cover their retreat. These were forced back, reinforced, and still driven back, until they struck the main line of battle and threw it into momentary confusion. Officers were now seen galloping up and down their lines encouraging their men by words and acts. Luke asked his guide several more questions in regard to the wounded men and Lillie, but Blackhawk seemed to have suddenly grown morose, and either answered by negative grunts or sullen silence. Thus ended a day of carnage. Whet* night came the firing had almost oeased.

JH'S JEWELRY SHE, For some strange, incomprehensible reason, Colonel Mason found himself nervous and trembling. It seemed as if the vaii of the past was about to be lifted, and he was to gaze upon what he had so' longed to see. Could it be, oh 1 was it possible that that dark mystery would soon be explained! The order to fire was given by the English, and from a single discharge 399 men of the French Guard fell, of whom nineteen were officers. Of the Swiss Guard nearly an equal number fell Assuredly these English troop* took aim and fired from the shoulder. The story of their firing from the position of "charge bayonets" may have arisen from some nervous soldier having been seen to discharge his piece in raising it to the shoulder. It was not uncommon for an engraver who did not know his business well, to invert the picture, and so to represent troops as firing from their left shoulder.—Notes and Queries* heard, To the failing man he hurriedly explained that he had found the cradle floating, and that the child was alive, and t hat his brother had reared him.
