EFFECTS OF EYE STRAIN.
Children who Are Not to Blame fol
Their Dullness.


The influence of the eyesight upon in
tellectual work is more recognized each
year by educators, both in this country and
Europe, and some Of the most important
discussions among both teachers and ply
sicians bear upon this subject. One of
the most lucid articles treating of the
varied kinds of eye imperfections is ''eye
strain in connection with headaches, neu-
ralgis and nervous disturbances" contrib
uted by Charles Lincoln Smith, now Stop
ping at the Harper house.
The most common cause of ANNOYANCE
and suffering is far sightedness, having
Its origin in the position of the principal
focus of parallel rays of light behind the
retina; near sightedness, in which the
parellel rays of light are brought to focus
In front OF the retina, astigmatism, due to
the irregular curvature of the cornea and
the insufficiency or weakness OF muscles
OF the eyebsll. II is useful for both par
ents and teachers to recognize the SER
iousness of the symptoms of strain due to
any of these eye imperfections. From
far sightedness comes easy fatigue of
eyes, aching sensations in the eye
balls, finally persistent and obstinate
muscular irritation and burning pain. The
eve strain is felt more particularly at the
end OF the week. Near sighted people suf-
fer equal discomfort from working any
length Of time. Charles Lincoln Smith
adds that near sighted persons squint and
blink in order to see at distance, and that
those dreamy eyes that haunt me ever"
| about which amorous swains become
poetic are usually near sighted the dreamy
or staring appearance being due 10 the fact
that they see imperfectly at a distance.
Patients with sstigmatism suffer very often
and severely with headaches, dizziness,
'hickering" and other nervous complaints
| Those whose eyes are impaired by NUS
cular weakness have headache, pain
over the eyes, neuralgia, dizziness, nausea
and vague nervous disturbances. So SER
| ious is the effect of any imperfectiOn in
| the eye that the examination of the eyes
OF children of school age would seem to be
| imperative. Many children have been re-
buked for stupid neglect and disinclina-
ton for study when they are simply una
BILE to endure the eye strain. Many have
been forced from intellectual labor to less
congenial occupation through the neglect
| Of eye imperfections. The seasonable
| remedy of the oculist is go practicable that
its benefit should not be denied the poorest
school child

In order to accommodate those who
were unable to see and consult with
Charles Lincoln Smith Yesterday at the
Harper house on account of the number
OF patients, the celebrated Chicago opti-
| clan will remain over Saturday and Sum
| day. Those who have defective vision,
| etc. , should bear in mind and not miss this
rare opportunity to have their eyes exam

EertiIizer. for Lawns:

The very common practice of covering
city lawns with barnyard manure is dis
agreeable alike to the occupants of the
home as well as passers by. 9. NJ.
Hooker thinks that it is very queer, after
taking SO much time and labor to make
a good green lawn eight months Of the
year, the contents of the barnyard should
be dumped upon it to remain there the
rest Of the twelvemonth. He afirns
that if the owners who do this should
practice instead dressing their lawns
with unbleached ashes and nitrate Of
sodait would keep fertility and offend
no one.

ENGAGED

Tie little bond that links your life to mine
Seems slight and fragile; do you think twill
hold
And bear the changes of the coming time,
When life is dark and all is bleak and cold2
And do you think that, purified by pain,
We can take up our lives and love again2
Or when, like the inconstant skies of spring,
Our lives are olouded her sunny air
And we know pain that summer could not
bring,
WIN you not find it all too hard to bear2
And When these storms and weary hours have
tried us.
Can we live Oh and let no power divide us?
Then If this little chain, so frail and weak
1t trembles when our lives are fair and bright,
Could find voice and each small link could
speak,
Would i; not say twas frighted of the night2
If it must break and we must hurnbly bow,
In pity for my weakness, break it now.
But if you think that it can bear the weight
OF fiery trials rs they come and 20,
We can take heart and boldly meet the fate
That gives npartialy of JOY and woe;
And he it summer fair or wintry weather,
We can he brave and meet all, love, together.
