don't believe there will be war, for neither
government wants a war. Again, IN the event of
a war with Spain ON account of Cuba the bulk Of
the fighting would be afolt; for whoever COM
mands the sea can have Cuba. We may not have
sufficient heavy iron-clad ships, but then some
could be had, and we have an abundance Of good
naval officers and seamen, leaving for land forces
the small task of occupation. No part of this
will likely be confde1 to me, therefore have sent
your letter to the War Department, which can
only act after Congress declares war and provides

How to Save Your Ewes.

When win those working by lamp-ligt have
the sense to understand the use of shades to pro-
tect the eyes? We see persons sitting holding
their sewing or other work at or near to a lamp,
while the light is blazing full in their eyes. 1t
is plain that the object they work upon cannot
be seen with 80 great distinctness while the field
of their retina is already occupied by q blaze.
But they work on for hours, and though the
next morning their visual Orgaus tell of the
abuse by redness and Inflammation, the workers
are too duh to learn the lesson of experience
offered them. Circular paper shades can be OBJ
tanned for few cents, and these not only pro-
tect the eyes from the excess Of light, but serve
as refectors behind the blaze, increasing the
illumination one-half. Besides the above-fhen-
TONED evil, there is that Of q varying quantity
OF light thrown into the eye by its being sud-
denly and alternately directed towards the blaze
or obliquely away from it, by which the pupil
has not time enough to adapt itself to the in
crease of glare; whereas, with the use Of the
shade, the Illumination would be uniform. The
number of persons in the community having
spots light or dark, in the field of vision, arising
from injury TO the retina by the ill usages which
which We are mentioning, is greater than is
commonly imagined. 1t must be borne in mind
that these spots are a serious step towards maui
rosis and gutta-serena, such as plunged in dark
ness the later years OF the great Milton and
many other more eminent for their talents than
their caution.
