The WAY to Settle scandal.

DR.. NJ. d. Hoge of this city, tells Of
two Christian men who "fell out 8"
One heard that the other was talking
against him, and he went to him and
said: "Will you be kind enough to
tell me my faults to my face, that l
may profit by your Christian candor
and try to get rid of them" They
went aside, and the former said: "Be-
fore you commence telling what you
think wrong in me, will you please
bow down with me and let us pray
over it that my eyes may be opOned to
see my faults as you will tell them?
You lead in the prayer" 1t was done,
and when the prayer was over the
man who had sought the interview
said: Now proceed with what you
have to complain of in me" But the
other replied: "After praying over 1t
it looks so little that it is not worth
talking about. The truth is, | feel
now that in going around talking
against you l have been serving the
devil myself, AMI have need that you
pray for me and forgive me the wrong
l have done you" DR.. Hoge tells the
story very well, and here and there IN
almost every community is a man or
woman who might profit by it.

THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN.
To Remove a Mote from the Eye.

Take a horsehair and double it,
leaving a loop II the mote can be
seen lay the loop over it, close the
eye, and the mote will come out as the
hair is withdrawn. If the irritating
object cannot be seen raise the lid Of
the eye as high as possible and place
the loop as far as you can, close the
eye and roll the ball around a few
times. draw out the hair, and the sub
stance which caused the pain will be
sure to come with it. This method is
practiced by axmakers and ether
workers in steel.-Medical Times.

Treatment Of Nerrousness.

Exercise is of service, especially if
taken early in the day. Sleep-that

nervous patient should have at least
seven hours-eight is a preferable
number. During repose repair of
the nervous system is in excess of the

to the therapeutic treatment of nerv-
business, the subject is so essentially
scientific that no patient whose all.

well to attempt self-cure. In trifing

is an abandonment of the producing

The two muscles--a set for each
eye-act in perfect correlation, and
enable the organ in an instant of time
to cover an infinite range of vision.
No fine adjustment of the telescope,
no system of lenses and prisms can ac-
complish this feat in an instant of
time.
The utmost caution is therefore i'm
peratively demanded Of every person
to whom is consigned the care of the
young child from infancy to perhaps
the third year of life. 1t is during
this time that damage to the muscular
apparatus of the eye may be done.

flea bites, and bad temper are some of
the morbid and moral posers which

An indication of the delicate and
undeveloped muscular apparatus of
the eyeball within the first two months
of life is found in the ease with which
some infants look cross eyed. 1t is
well known that in sleep the eyes are
turned upward under the brows. and
inward, and that a true crossed con-
dltion of the optical axes occurs dur
ing this state.
An occasional temporary crossing of
the eyes of an infant above two
months of age should be carefully in
Vestigated. The child should be
handled lightly; it should not be played
with too much; it ought to lie or roll
on its back in preference to sitting on
the lap or in chair. Any unequal
SIZE of the pupils should be carefully
noted. 1t may be either the sign Of
some internal trouble or simple
local affection of the muscular tissue
controlling the pupil. -Babyh00d.

HAIR REVIEWER

was the first preparation perfectly adapted to
cure diseases of the scalp, and the first sue
eessful restorer of faded or gray hair to its
natural color, growth, and youthful beauty.
1t has had many imitators, but none have SO
fully met all the requirements needful for
the proper treatment of the hair and scalp.
HALLS HAIR REVIEWER has steadily grown
in favor, and spread its fame and usefulness
TO every quarter of the globe Its unparal
leed success can be attributed to but one
cause. The entire Ju!dimem Of its promises.
The propriotors have often been surprised
at the receipt Of orders from remote coun-
tries, where they had never made an effort for
its introduction.
The use for short time of HALLS HAIR
RENEwER wonderfully improves the per-
sonal appearance. 1t cleanses the scalp from
all impurities, cures all humors, fever, and
dryness, and thus prevents badness. II
stimulates the weakened glands, and enables
them to push forward new and vigorous
growth. The effects of this article are not
transient, like those Of alcoholic prepars-
tions, but remain a long time, which makes
its use matter of economy.

item before the roller craze subsidies

two of her front teeth were knocked
out. She was taken to a dentist, who
replaced the teeth and strapped up her
jaw. For two days she could scarcely
speak, no solid food was allowed, but
the operation was successful! and the
teeth are as firmly sci as ever. They

underahe Act passed by the last Leg

piling the statute laws of this State.
They were both in San Francisco last
week examining the compilations and
revislons of the various States in the
extensive law library there, in order
to avail themselves of any improve
ments in that line which might have
been adopted. They expect very
shortly to meet at the Capital and go
regularly and Systematically to work.
and to prosecute their labors until the
compilation is fully competed. They
think in from sixty to ninety days they
can begin to put the manuscript in the
hands of the State Printer, and to have
il all printed, ready for binding before
the expiration of the time prescribed
by the Act. The most tedious part
will be revising the proofs and index
ing, which Will take some time, and
can only be done MS the forms are set
up and struck off We hope they mGl
push the matter with all reasonable
dispatch, as a complete revision OF
our statutes is badly needed, not only
by the legal profession, but by officers
and laymen as well, and we know they
intend making the work as thorough
and perfect as possible.
