Remedy for Tired Eyes.

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning the retina or seeing
portion of the eye, is fatigued, but
such is not the case, as the retina
hardly ever gets tired. The fatigue is
in the inner and outer muscles attach
ed to the eyeball and the muscle of ac-
commodation. which surrounds the lens
of the eye. When a near object is to be
looked at this muscle relaxes and al
lows the lens to thicken. increasing its
retroactive power. The inner and outer
muscle are used in covering the eye on
the object to be looked at, the inner
one being especially used when near
object is looked at. 1t is in the three
muscles mentioned that the fatigue is
felt. and relief is secured temporar ily
by closing the eyes or gazing at far
distant objects. The usual Indication
of strain is redness of the rim of the
eyelid, betokening congested state
of the inner surface. accompanied with
some pain. Sometimes this WEAKNESS
indicates the need of glasses rightly,
adapted to the person. and In other
cases tho true remedy Is to message
the eye and its surroundings as far as
may be with the hand wet in cold wat

A HUMAN BEAR.

It Looks Like a Bear, Craw1s Like q
Bear, and Acts Like a Bear,
A large party of Clayoquot Indians
from British Columbia appeared in
this city yesterday, says The Seattle
Post -Intelligencer, on their way to the
hopfelds. Accompanying them is
probably as curious a specimen of un-
fortunate humanity as ever was born.
It is neither man nor brute. but
appears to be on the line dividing the
one from the other. Considered as a
human being, the being is a man;
considered as brute, it is bear. It
looks but little more like a man than
monkey does. except that the feat
ures are little more distinct and there
is not coat of hair on his body. It
can not talk, or walk upright. 1t
crawls along on its hands and feet
with the peculiar swinging motion of
the bear. Its feet are at very acute
angle with the front of the leg, and
when crawling the hands move with
an inward swing like the front feet
of a bear. The expression is almost
that of bear. There. is a peculiarly
wild look about it. and the eyes are
restless and sharp. Everybody in
stinctively called it "Indian Bear"
The Indians said they seldom take it
along with them anywhere, but this
time there was no one to stay with il.
They say it is 20 years old. But little
attention appears to be paid to it by
the Indians, and it wabbles around
with about the aimlcssness of IN old
dog. seeking a warm place, and
eyeing suspiciously the approach of
anyone not familiar with it. The
Indians say that short time before
it's was born its mother was frightened

thing handsome before he left 1t was

old man began lingering with them. as
he went on. very pathetically: Pm going
east and hope you'll be good boy
and takc care of yourself while / M gone.
If you're a good boy and behave your
self, and here the young mans eyes
fairly glistened as he watched the old
gentleman lingering the notes; .,if You
behave yourself while I'm gone-whv
you'll please the old man very much.

Thanks to her associations in Mrs.
Satterlee's home, Nora was as ladylike
and refined in her manner as any ply
sician could desire his wife to be. and
Dermot was proud and happy man
when his precious, faithful Nora was in

The poor old parents and the whole

the little heritage that had fallen to
Nora. but it lost its virtues, for the

with Nora, that there was really some-
thing supernatural about tho manner,
in which she received that wonderful
talisman. and they preserve it religious
ly. and Dermot repeats as Nora dream
cd he did: ''None but the pure in heart
and the unselfish in purpose can ever
find it."
Surely, our Nora deserved it-Olive

William Smith of the German American

At Herkimer, N. Y, Marcus w. Rosbach,

A bloody ARRAY occurred at Jefferson
barracks, Mo. Seven negro soldiers got

officer OF the day ordered a company OF
white soldiers to arrest the negroes. A
company OF negro soldiers proposed to
prevent the arrest. They were disarmed,
but without their arms went to the rescue
OF the seven ravishers. They resisted the
attempts OF the white soldiers to arrest
them, and the result was a fierce hand-to-
hand fight. The negroes were defeated.

Insects in Ears.

Few troubles arc more annoying OF
more productive of serious difficulty, If

Lying upon soft meadow grass. or
sleeping upon campbed of fragrant
spruce, bugs Of different denominati ons
seem possessed with desire to inspcc t
our auricles. Once inside, their franz
tic efforts to escape cause such agony
that people have gone temporarily
crazy with it. This may be instantly
stopped by pouring the ear full OF

of all the trouble. II OIL is not accessi-

back anything into the water because
of its youth or immaturity, and is
therefore pursued by the fish commits
sioner's deputies as foe to the fishing
