Eve Strain,

This is the result of an action of the
muscles of the eye to adjust the focus SO as
to give perfect image on the retina, when
the conditions of refraction are abnormal
as far sight, near sight, or mixed sight.
Mixed sight causes the most severe strain,
far sight next. In fixing the sight the mus
cles of the eye act in the same way that you
would grasp spring. The stronger the
spring the stronger the effort necessary to
compress it: The more imperfect the re-
fraction and the weaker the muscles. the
sooner you will realize you have weak sight.
Natural or acquired muscular debility, ex-
eessive use of the eyes, bad light, indiges-
tion, all make the weakness more prom
inent, the sight more imperfect, accompan-
led by pain or burning in the eyes, headache,
depression of spirits, and forebodings of
blindness. These cases are all curabIe by the
proper means applied on scientific princi-
pies. With his 20 years of practical ex-
perience with all varieties of such cases.
Dr.. Sadler, So4 Penn avenue, has proved
his ability to treat them with the most sat-
isfactory results.

REVERSED THE ORDER.
An Important Electrical Decision by
0hio's Supreme Court,
HAVING A FAR-REACHING EFFECT.
A Telephone Company Denied Exclusive
Control of the Earth
FOR RETURN CIRCUIT OF ITS SYSTEM

ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.l
COLUMBUS June 2.-The Supreme Court to-
day rendered decision, reversing the
lower court in the case of the Cincinnati In.
cline Plane Railroad Company VS.. the City
and Suburban Telegraph Company, brought
up on error TO the Superior Court of Cincin-
natl This involves the two great interests
OF telephone exchanges and electric street
railways, and affects the city largely, as well
as others adopting the improved and ad-
vanced system of street railways.
The action was brought by the telegraph or
telephone company to enjoin the Incline
Plane Railway Company from constructing
and running their electric railway by the
use OF the Sprague, which is the single troll
icy system, because the same interfered
with the use of the telephone and almost de-
stroyed their business; that one could not
near anything but the rumbling noise of the
railway when using the telephone, and that
earth for the return circuit, the current of
the railway being much stronger than that
OF the telephone company, destroyed and
oeaoened the circuit of the latter.
They Wanted the Earth.
1t was also charged that the railway occu-
pied the ground first, but changed from the
horse-car system to the electric system. and
the telephone company claimed the first
right to the earth with the use of IL for their
return circuit. The matter could be rene
o1eo py one OF two ways. First, by the rail-
way putting in what is known as the double
trolley system, by the use of which the tele-
phone would not be interfered with. Second.
by the telephone company, instead of using
the earth Tor the return circuit putting in a
wire overhead for this purpose.
Th1s particular telephone company was
establlshed as telegraph company before
the telephone was discovered and afterward
went into the telephone business, so that its
system OF telephone is different from the
regular one.
A Far-Reaching Case.
But this controversy and the rule of law
established by this case is an important one
to the telephones and the street railroads
now fast adopting the use of electricity. Had
the decision been adverse to the railway
system, and give to the telephone exclusive
control OF the earth for return currents, it
would in all probability have interfered to
some extent with street lights and manufac-
turerS.
The finding of the Court is, upholding the
theory that the street is primarily intended
Tor the use o. the general public for the pur-
pose OF travelling and transporting goods,
and the fact of motive power, which facili.
tates the object, being changed to something
which might interfere with a subordinate
use of the highway ought not to make any
d1nerence in that regard.

London In q Fog,

London has been sunless for more
than month. "At one time this
afternoon" writes Harold Frederick
on Saturday, sit grew 80 light here in
London that one could distinguish
houses on the opposite side of the
street quite plainly, but it didn't last
long, and this evening people are
humping around in the same old pea
soup fog, which has enveloped the
metropolis since New Years. A lit
tie of this bat-like existence each win
ter has certain charms of uniqueness
and variety, but Londoners this time
are fairly worn out with it. No
glimpse of sunshine has been permitted
us nowfo thirty eight days, and some
times there have been bannocks OF
solid darkness lasting for fifty hours
at stretch. Moreover, it has been
for the most part exceptionally cold
from an English standpoint. To be
sure, the mercury has never fallen be-
yond 13o above zero; but that is deem
ed such an inhuman temperature here
that driver on coach between
Canterbury and Dover the other night
actually allowed himself to be frozen
to death by it."

Blasts from the Rams Horn.

1t is the gospel of Christ, and not
human philosophy, that saves the soul.
If we have a willingness to work for
Christ we need never be unemployed.
If you don't believe that it is more
blessed to give than to receive, try it.
No matter what your situation in
life may be you can think and plan for
God.
When we get right ourselves it goes
a long way toward making others
right
Whenever God takes anything away
from us it is only to give us more OF
Himself.
Some people believe themselves to
be religious because they are always
miserable.
Unless you do all you can to help
answer your own prayers you don't
pray much.
A dollar will buy great deal more
for grateful man than it will for a
stingy one.
No man is in a condition to really
enjoy riches until he can be happy
without them.
1t is not what we give to God but
what we keep from Him that makes
angels wonder.
The world never needed pure Holy
Ghost religion everywhere more than
1t does now.-Ram's Horn.

Horses for War Purposes.

Speaking Of the value of horses for
war purposes, Wade Hampton says
that thoroughbreds are hard to con-

escaped being carried into the enemy's
lines when thus mounted. They are"
he remarks, "safer horses to get away
from the enemy with than when you

when on a gallop. But when it comes
to endurance one thoroughbred will
kill three cold-blooded horses in a

less food, go faster and snow more
courage in the face of danger. I have
