Are We Losing Our EYeso

At a recent meeting of the British Medical
Association one of the subjects discussed by
some of the most distinguished specialists in
England was myopia or short-sightedncsl For
men engaged in study or minute work there is
some advantage in a slight degree of myopia,
which in Old age confers the privilege of read
ing without glasses. 1t has been said that
myopia is the companion of intellectual pro-
gress, but it is an unpleasant companion, not
a friend. Even excessive intellectually,
when accompanied by myopia. does not COM
pensate for the inability to see the details
of landscape. the shapes and movements of
living creatures. architectural Beauties, and
the facial expression of orr frieI DIS. There is
no doubt that myopia is increasing While the
children OF short-sighted persons are not often
born with myopia they are very liable TO it at
early age. Myopia reacts upon itself. The
more child at school stoops over his book the
more myopic he becomes and consequently he
stoops still more, until the shape of the eve
to use both eyes for distinct vision.
L. was for come time thought that
the large increase in this affection was peculiar
to the schools of Germany, but recent statis-
tics show that Iii England. France and America
the percentage of myopes is exceedingly
large. N. Drolais of Paris who has made this
subject special study. asserts that the hygienic
defects III the schools-bad light, want of space.
improper desks and stools--are the secret of
this lamentable increase in short-sightedness
1t can scarcely be doubted that with our pres
ent school system the bad light. unsuitable
furniture and long hours of study, with no in
telligent supervision over the pupils and school
houses, we must before long become q nation
OF myopes.

ABUSING THE ST DMACH,


The Country Men Use Themselves Much
Better Than Those Of Cities.
From the New York Press
One reason why city people are so much more
afflicted with illness than country people, said
leading physician Yesterday. is because of the
difference in their habits Of eating. Your coun-
tryman eats hearty breakfast before in the
morning. He eats hearty dinner at noon. At
O'Clock he takes a light supper, rests for q
couple OF hours or more and goes to bed to
sleep and recuperate. There Is nothing like
sleep to give renewed energy to the physical
man. Your city man gets his breakfast AZ 8 TO
O'Clock. 1t is heavy breakfast. but he eats
light because his head is generally heavy. If
he has been late in getting up he bolts his food
and rushes off TO his Office with his stomach
struggling to get the best Of the chunks of stuff
he has flung into it. At IL or / o'clock he bolts
a lunch-meats pastry and fruits and liquor in
such conglomeration as to make his poor stom-
ach howl with anguish.
Then ut o'clock he eats an enormous course
dinner. washes it down with two or three kinds
OF wine, coffee and liquors. He has no time to
rest afterward, but rushes off to the theater,
and when he leaves the theater he sits down to
midnight supper that drives his poor stomach
Wild again. He rolls into bed at or 2 o'clock
and wonders why he cannot sleep. There are
few old-fashioned men in New York who still
insist on the country habit of eating dinner in
the middle of the day and supper at 8. know
some OF them and they haven't an ache or pain
Bat the other fellows are troubled with head
aches, kidney troubles, liver difficulties and all
sorts of disorders.

Their Method Inculcates Patience Among
thu Bucks. If Nothing More.

TIL. Bucks, If Nothing More.
From the Chicago Herald
The Sioux method of courtship instills in a
lovelorn buck the virtue of patience, if nothing
more When o young Sioux warrior seeks a
sweetheart he paints his face in many colors
envelopes himself SO completely in blanket
that nothing of him but his eyes are visible and
lets his breech clout drag along on the ground
behind him. This breech clout. by the way. is
the most extravagant piece of the young war
rior's raiment. 1t is often made of many col
ors and is bespangled with looking glasses,
small coins. bells and beads
Arrayed in this attire the young man takes
his position where the young maidens of his
tribe are sure to pass him. He may stand there
half an hour before he receives any encourage
ment and then again he may have to wal. there
for whole week. But he never despairs The
girls know why he wears that cloak and why he
peers at them from beneath its folds. Usually
there are from two to five squaw hunters to-
gether. 1t one of them is noticed favorably
by young girl he Immediately joins her and
begins to make the most ardent love. IT, after
his story has been told the girl rejects him. the
next young buck leaves the party. with his
breech clout jingling behind him, and tries his
hand.
Thus the lovers follow one another until
the girl finds promising buck, who has either
done some great deed or who is rich enough in
ponies or steers to reimburse the father for the
loss OF his child or who is in position to earn
some sort of fame in war or in peace. The
agent usually ties the marital knot. Whatever
may be said about the barbarous practices and
the uncleanliness of the Sioux and Cheyenne
women, it is nevertheless a fact that they are
with rare exceptions. industrious and virtuous.
When they have married white men they have
proved to be economical wives and good
mothers

As to Announcing Guests

Some New York women will not adopt the
custom, now almost universal Of having guests
announced, says the Times. All firs,-class
caterers send out ''callers" along with the doo-
openers and maids for the cloak rooms. but not
all hostesses accept their services. Its too
much like Washington and official brushes"
said one frequent entertainer the other day.
Its English, too, know" she went on. but
like to pay my guests the compliment of re-
calling them without having my memory stimu-
lated by a servant"
That's all very well, !" said her companion.
also often hostess, but in my case, without.
their aid. should pay many of my very good
friends the poor compliment of inability to say
their names at all. really couldn't get through

Talking of patent medicines
you know the old prejudice.
And the doctors-some of
them are between you and us.
They would like you to think
that what's cured thousands
won't cure you. You'd be-
leve in patent medicines if
they didn't profess to cure
e0erythang and so, between
the experiments of doctors,
and the experiments of patent
medicines that are sold only
because there's money in the
stuff, you lose faith in e0ery-
thing.
And, you can't always tell
the prescription that cures by
what you read in the papers.
So, perhaps, there's no better
way to sell remedy, than to
tell the truth about it, and
take the risk of its doing just
what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds
Dispensary Medical Associa-
ton, of Buffalo, N. Y, does
with
DIR. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery,
Favorite Prescription,
Pleasant Pellets, and
DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy.
If they don't do what their
makers say they'll do-you
get your money back.

American Ships

From the New York Sun.
We agree with our contemporary, the Tribune,
that the ships to be provided for our growing
commercial marine within the mex. few years
must be built in American shipyards. Our
new cruisers give evidence that Ameri-
can shipbuilders are able to rival, if not
to surpass, the best of European builders.
They ought to be the forerunners of q squadron
of American merchant vessels built in Ameri-
can yards and foundries. built of American steel
and iron built by the industry of Americas
workmen, built for the service of American
commerce, built TO be launched from American
wharves. and to sail under the American flag.
Our new navy shows what can be done here
in constructing werlike cruisers. and the ship
builders of New York and other maritime ports
will yet show what they can do in creating a
new commercial marine.
From fifty to a hundred thousand workmen
ought to find steady and remunerative employ
ment in the shipyards and the ship iron works
of the United States.
