j 'otico to Parents.
Every child before starting to school
, should have their eyes tested to see if
j they aro in fit condition to start in
with their school work. A defect iu
' their eyes can bo more of a handicap
. than anything else. Dixon & Son
have made a specialty of testing chil-
dren's eyes. Consult them, their di-
1 agnosis will be honest. C9-5

Queer Burial custom.
Among the Indian's of Alaska liv
ing nlong tho rock-bound const of the
Bering sen many old customs prevail,
nnd It Is still believed that when a
mnn dies he must pass forward
through four successive stnges before
ho reaches heaven. Thus his mourn
ers and family must spend four days
nnd nights In chanting songs or tell
ing of his virtues and must eat only
the foods of which' he was fond. At
the end of that time the body of tho
dead man Is wrapped Into a bundle
nnd Is hauled up through the roof
by strong ropes that the corpse may
not pass through nny door used by
the living." Cromutlon follows nnd the
ashes are put Into n bag and stored In
the great wooden chests which fill
the family "grave house."
In tho old days these ceremonies of
those four days were very elaborate,
nnd the songs nnd chants used strik
ing In their solemnity. Now. how
ever, much has been modernized, but
they still dislike the thought of en
tering a door through which n body
has been carried.
Great American Tragedienne.
One of the greatest tragediennes of
the Inst century, Chnrlotto Saunders
CiiKhmnn, died In Boston nearly half
a century ago, leaving behind her one
of tho most Inspiring and splendid
memories In nil tho' history of the
stage. MI3S Cushman was born In
Boston July 23, 1810. Her early am
bition was musical, and she was Just
at the beginning of a successful oper
ntlc career when her voice fillled. .TIi'i"
loss to music wns a gain to the dranin.
She first appeared as Lndy Macbeth In
New Orleans, nnd soon gained rank In
England and America ns tho foremost
actress of the English-speaking world.
Forty-five years ago the great actress
began her farewell tour ' of America,
nnd on n day in May, 1875, an audi
ence that filled the Globe theater In
Boston saw Charlotte Cushmnn8 lust
appearance on the stage. She died In
less than a year afterword.
Palmerston.
In the first place, It was always ns-1
sorted, with emphasis and even with
ncrlniony, thnt he (Palmorston) was
not a whig. Gladstone, who did not
much like whlggery, though he often
used whlgs, laid It down thnt "to be a
whig a man must bo a born whig."
and I helleVe that the doctrlne'ls abso
lutely sound. But Palmerston woh
born and bred a tory, nnd .from 1S07
to 1S30 held office In tory udminUt ra
tions. The remaining 35 years of his
life be spent, for the most part. In
whig administrations, but a whig he
was not. The one thing In the world
which he loved supremely was power,
nnd, ns long us this was se
cured, he did not trouble himself much
about the political complexion of ids
nssoelatea. G. W. B. Russell.

Quolt3 Really Ancient Game.
The quoit is n flattlsh ring of Iron,
used In playing. It Is generally from
eight and n half to nine nnd a half
Inches In externnl diameter, mm be
tween one nnd two Inches In breadth,
convex on the upper side and slightly
concave on tho under side, so that the
outer edge curve1? dojvnward, and is
sharp enough to cut Into soft ground.
The game played with such rings re
quires two pin called hobs, driven
part of their length Into the ground
some distance apart; and the players,
who nre divided Into two sides, stand
beside one hob, and In regular suc
cession throw their quoits, of which
each player has two, as near the other
hob as they can. The side which lias
the quoit nearest the hob counts n
point toward, tho game, or, if tho quoit
Is thrown so ns to surround the hob,
It counts two. The gnmo slightly re
sembles the ancient exercise of throw
ing the discus, which hns, however,
been often translated by this English
word.
