Flatting tn Bed.
“Boys and girls under eighteen
should be strictly forbidden to read in
bed," says the Lancet, on the author¬
ity of Dr. Hugo FeiTchenfekl of Ber¬
lin, who declares rbat in the case of
young persons whose eyes are not
fully developed the practice is likely
to induce myopia. While young peo¬
ple run the greatest risk, the lancet
thinks that reading iu bed is unde¬
sirable for persons of any age and
states that “in the case of aged, anx¬
ious, worried aftd bedridden people, to
whom it would seem cruelty to deny
what may perhaps be almost their
only luxury, for fear of Inducing some
slight error of refraction, care should
be taken that the light is sufficiently
brilliant, the eyes being shaded from
it. and that the patient lies on bis
back with head and shoulders raised.”
Wellington’* Tact.
There was an army of generals as¬
sembled at Paris iu 1814. and when the
various Austrian and Prussian gener
als who had been beaten by Napoleon
came crowding round the Duke of Wel¬
lington and expressing lots of compli¬
ments to him for having never been
beaten by the French the duke pleas¬
ed them immensely by saying, “Ah,
but you know I never met Bouaparte,
and I have always looked on him as
being as good as 40,000 men."
How Indians Catch Monkey*.
In South America the Indians take a
cocoanut and cut a bole in each end
Just large enough for the monkey's
laws. Then they fill the middle of the
nut with sugar. When a monkey
comes across the shell he thrusts iu
cne paw and, finding sugar, be pushes
In the other. He closes both paws on
the sugar and then will not remove
iither for fear he shall lose the sugar.
Then, while he cannot use either paw.
he Is easily caught.
A Chine** Story.
A Chinese barber while shaving a
customer's head drew blood and put
one of his fingers on the place. Again
he made a cut and put down another
finger, and so on until lie had no more
fingers free. “Ah." said he as he paus¬
ed in his work, "a barber's trade Is dif¬
ficult. We ought to have a thousand
fingers!”—-Scrap Book.
Apt Pupil.
“Didn’t I see the grocer’s boy kiss
you this morning, Martha?”
“Yes’m. But he ain’t to blame,
ma’am. 'Twas the Iceman set him the
ted example.”

Stella'* Dignity.
“Glenn paid me a dandy compliment
last night, mother — one that will
please you. too,” said Stella Harding.
"He was talking about the girls in this
block and how disgusted the hoys
were getting with them. He said the
trouble wirh the girls round here was
that they had positively no personal
dignity, and he never seemed to take
Into account that I lived hi the block
myself. But lie made up afterward
for forgetting. He said not much,
he guessed, he didn’t mean me; that
I was noted for my dignity with all
the fellows, and he’d often heard them
speak of it. What do you say to
that?”
Mrs. Harding was listening with
motherly satisfaction. “How did It
happen to occur to him that you
might be applying it to yourself?” she
asked.
"1 put it to him straight. I just
waited until he stopped for breath,
and then 1 said. ‘Well, jiminy, Glenn,
Is this a slam?’ ”
“Stella, what a speech! There’s no
dignity about that!"
“Oh, toot, mamma!” was the laugh¬
ing response, made without the slight¬
est intention of disrespect. “That’s
just the way we all talk. Things like
that don't count on dignity one way
or the other—not in our bunch. It's
how you act, don’t you know?”—

Faxes' Scalps and Salvation.
Some years ago at a session of the
legislature of Kentucky an effort to
repeal the law offering a bounty on
foxes' scalps was made, but was dt
feated by the appeal of a membei
from a mountainous and sparsely set
tied region. “Do the gentlemen wan:
to deprive my constituents and me ol
the lieneflts of hearing the gospel
preached?" he demanded, with indig
nation In his tone and overspreading
his rugged countenance. “We are .ali
Methodists up my way. and our
preachers won't come without we can
give 'em chickens, I know. We cant'
raise chickens unless the foxes art
killed by somebody, that's sure, and
there ain’t anybody that can afford to!
spend their time hunting foxes and get!
nothing to pay for it. So, gentlemen,;
if you repeal this law you'll be de¬
priving my constituents of the benefit
of hearing the gospel preached; that's
the way it looks to me!" The law
was not repealed at that session.— Ar¬
