BY wearing too strong near sighted
glasses continuously the near sightedness
may be very greatly increased and a dis,
easel condition of the interior of the eye
caused, which may lead to very great
loss of sight and even total blindness.
Then, in other cases, wearing an eye
glass may do very much harm, because
we frequently notice people with their
eyeglasses tipped ut various angles. In
these cases that glass is acting as Il prism,
and IS not doing the work it should, but
is causing a strain upon the accommoda-
ton, which may be the starting point of
a long series OF nervous disorders. Again,
the wearing of either eyeglasses or spec
tacles without rims may in some cases
cause very annoying and injurious symp-
toms from the colors due to the pris-
matte action of the edge of the glass

miserable performers, no only beneath
criticism, but beneath censure; but they
never suspect it and could not be con-
viuced of it. They may be conscious

cause they are not appreciated. The

EDITCR'S TALE or WOE.

We have always had q more or less
keen appreciation of the fact that an
editors lot. like a policeman $, was not
always a happy one, but We confess that
our insight into the subject has been
greatly improved bv the perusal Of a
philosophic editorial article in the last
issue OF the Free Gazette. published at
La Grange in the Horse creek section OF
Laramie county The article in ques
ton was evidently penned by the dis
tinsuished editor himself who has no doubt
felt a. briet but emphatic intervals the
rich mans scorn and the proud mans
cnntumcly. The article itself is so deli
ciously frank, so breezy of the upturned
sod aud so entirely free from the CON
yentional grammatical trammels that we
present it in full. expressing at the same
time our confident hope that it will sink
deeply into the hearts of all newspaper
patrons and cause them to use more
charity intheir Judgment ofthe much abus-
e editorial fraternity. The article follows:
uuSl U tie ptOpit nave gOl tue luth
in their heads that all an editor has to do
IS to sit down and count the money into his
pocket. They seem to think he is bloat-
ed with money. But, my dear friends,
you are very much mistaken in regard 70
al editors finances. An editor is just as
helpless as a minister, he is dependent on
the people for his living the same as the
minister. In this respect there is no diff
ference between the minister and the edi-
tor, it Is true the editor does not get n
salary the same as the minister, it would
be better for him if he did. The minis.
ter may also have the advantage over the
editor in his moral report. They for get
that a minister has a picnic and an editor
a nick pick.
They forget that even the editor of a
little one horse paper is out at least
fifty dollars a month, while the minister
is out nothing, these figures does not in
cluGe an editors time. They talk about
the ministers having a hard time, just
think of the poor editors. Instead of
blaming them Tor everything they should
be helped. II an editor gets his paper
out a little late there is someone ready to
kick. If anything is the least bit wrong
there is a kick coming, ii you hand a man
a statement of his little account he curses
you for wanting the world. We find very
few kickers ameng the better class of men.
The kick generally comes from people
who never take a paper, but expect the
editor to donate them one each week
and if he does not they will come in and
call for the paper and kick because YOU
did not send it to them the week before.
Another class of kickers are those that
get in debt to tie editor withc intention
Of never paying him. Once in 4 while
the editor gets a chance to have rcvengc
but it is so seldom that it don't give
him much pleasure. Very often all that
a western editor and his family get to eat
is mustard and mountain air. and the
poor eastern editors gets the mustard but
don't get any mountain air.
