sPECTACLEs FOR HEADACHE.
Some Experim -nts Made by n Phys.
ician for the Use OF the Afflicted.

From the New York Times.
Probable very few physicians would pre-
scribe pair Of spectacles for an obstinate case
Of sick headache. Yet a physician, writing in
the Medical and Surgical Reporter, gives very
plain reasons for his assertion that that Is the
remedy often most appropriate. He was HIM
self sufferer from frequent and severe sick
headache. Feeling an attack approaching. he
did not treat it with the accustomed chloride OF
sodium, but put three or four drops OF
one per cent solution OF atropia in the
eye which gave him most pain. In a
few moments he was entirely free from pain
and nausea His theory is that the pain in the
eve j. the cause not the effect. of the stOmachic
disturbance which is usually the subject OF
treatment. Bat il must not be inferred that
stropia so used will always have similar effect
The doctors eye was astigmatic and byperme-
tropic. That Is to say. IT, formed ttfp simares

pia dilated the pupil and put at rest the ciliary

but when the weaTtIIess Becomes excessive
then follows the explosive attack OF headache
Thus Is explained the mysterious periodicitv of
the disease. Otherwise it is hard to understand
why II often comes despite the greatest care of
the stomach. and often goes under conditions
such as rest and daTkness-whicl rest the eye
but cannot otherwise be connected with nausea
This theory also explains why advancing age

sufferers from this trouble The old sight
which has been latent. becomes manifest glasses
are used. and the artiiciay perfected vision
easily accOmpiishes tasks which, during the pc
riod when the eyes were supposed to be better
would have produced sickness. The
Theory rests on more subStan-
tial basis than that yet recorded The
doctor found that when his eye was under the
influence of atropa he could only see at twenty
feet objects which were visible to his natural
eye at five times the distance. But his vision
was normal under the former conditions which
apparently Indicated less powerful and per
feet eye. Using glasses which produced the
same effect as the drug, he found himself per-
fectiy free from headache. LAYING his glasses
aside as an experiment bis headache promptly
returned. A similar remedy also cured his Sis
ter. and the doctors last lingering doubts that
opticians can cure some headaches better than

STEAMBOATS, IN VENICE.
HE HOndO1a ON the Open Lagoon Su.
perseded by the NOisOme Engine

From the st. James Gazette
The little steamboats, that now ply on the
grand canal are the first things to arrest the
travellers attention when he revisits Venice.
Till now, arrival at Venice has ALWAYS been
unique and fascinating. Dir. Ruskin, indeed.
thought the fascination already gone when, in
stead OF stealing up to the city in a gondola
across the open lagoon, he was driven by
steam and could only see the noble landscape
OF approach as the engine slackened its rushing
on the iron line. But commonplace people
found good deal to say on the other side. and
the suddenness of the contrast. as one stepDed
out OF the railway carriage into boat to be
rowed down the untrOdden streets of the is
land city, perhaps enhanced the charm and
strengthened the impression. Lord Beacons-
Held was certainly right i'm singing out the
strange quiet of the canals as the particular
quality which made Venice unlike all other
places But these ''vaporetti di Venezia" nave
changed the aspect of things. They have two
conrses-one from the railway station to the
paonG gardens, the other from the Rialto
t to t nr ef tlazetta; and they run every
intermediate stations. For the first day or two
they were not popular, and their enemies even
began to hope with some confidence that thew
would die natural death; but the Venetian
ouonc were seduced by the convenience Of them
and now the boats are always well filled. So
Tar, then, they must be admitted to have iusti-
fed their existence; but it is pity that thew do
not bear their success more quietly. The can
tains seem TO delight In turning on the steam
whistle as If they were children playing with a
new toy, and the whistles themselves are Ger
talnly miracles of shrillness. Mr. Ruskjn diver
slfed the pages of one Of the earlier chapters of
"F0rs Clavigera'' by keeping count of the
number OF whistles that proceeded from a
steamer about to start for the Lido: and
he counted seven during the writing of one
page. when he gave up his writing in despair.
But If he were to revisit his old quarters on the
Grand canal now he would probably find it i'm
possible to write at all. The steamers whistle
In the approved fashion on arriving at and de-
parting from each station; they whistle as they
approach the ferries, they whistle as often as
they happen to see boat ahead and thew
whistle at other times In case there might be
boat ahead Altogether they have imported a
very noisy element into the life of the canal

sensitive nervous organization to feel how mn.
