"lf thine eyes offend thee pluck them
out" were the words Of holy Writ In
those old days. when the science OF OPP
tics was unknown. But since the dis
covsry OF 'ologies and 'onomies so
numerous that names are wanting 10
designate them, our modern interpreta-
ton IS: "Go to the ocuist ana get your
Specs" How faithfully this lnJunc-
ton is carried out is evinced by An ex-
clamation by young lady who was evil
IDENTIFY stranger in New York city.
How many people there are with
glasses on!" she said TO her friend, as
she stepped off the car: what can be
the cause Of it?"
What, indeed?" thought |, and
fastened to a wise man for an explana'
ton.
In this case l did not find 1t neces'
sary to carry lantern, Ike Diogenes,
to aid me In my search. For you must
know that in New York there are many
wise men who are kept so busy serving
and instructing their fellow men that
they have no time TO sit on tubs and
bask In the sun as those lazy old Greek

to induce them. There were little bs-
bIes who fretted with the heat, and old
men and women who could scarcely
walk.
AS gazed about the room my eye
fell upon familiar figure. Yes, 10
could be no other than the self.con-
tanned, kind hearted Samantha Allen
whom every body knows lives "daown
east" with her beloved, but hayward
Josiah.
While I waited here seized the OPP
portunity to get 4 little information
from one Of the eminent physicians who
constitute the governing faculty OF ths
College Of the New York OptholmIc
Hospital.
"Wil you tell me, doctor, what is the
effect OF not wearing glasses when they
are needed?"
THE eye strain is very great, and
this draws on the brain and nerve force
in such way as TO cause great In
jury"
Then quoted remark made by the
late DR.. ARnew, TO the effect that -
was q wonder that certain patient had
not gone crazy for the need OF glasses,
aud asked him II II were possible to go
crazy from an eye affection.
That would be hard TO say" said
he; "but 1t Is curious fact that nearly
all victims OF epilepsy and similar nery-
Gus diseases have some affection Of the
eyes"
He then proceeded g. give me some
| OF Dr. Ambrose l.. Rauney's expert
ments upon epIeptics. This eminent
physician insists upon the fact that eye
| troubles are the cause, and not the Of
| feet, or merely the indication, OF GER
! tain remote diseases hitherto supposed
to have no connection with tho eyes
He demonstrates that defective eye
sight is In many cases the cause OF cpl
leysy, ST. Vitus' dance and similar AZ
fections. He shows that eye-straln az
fects the digestion.
His experiments upon eplleptics, as
described, are little snort OF mlracu-
| lous. BY clever adjustment OF glasses
to correct errors OF refract!on In the eye
he is said to have greatly relieved az
gravated cases Of epilepsy.
But this is merely a preliminary step
In his method OF cure. BY the process
OF tenotomy, or a cutting OF some OF The
muscles which hold the eyeball Ia
place, be believes that be can alleviate,
II not cure, a victim OF epilepsy or ST.
Vltus dance, and the success OF his eH-
pertinent has led many to believe In his
method.
Other well-known physicians have
performed remarkable operations OF
this kind.
A physician at the Opthalmlc hospl-
tai is alleged TO have cured a case OF
melancholia by operating upon tho
oscular muscles.
Ifltlstrue, as there are many reasons
TO believe, that these diseases are caused
by defective eyesight, then the eve BE-
comes a much more important factor
than q mere visual organ; and we are

of the same material emphasized each
side Of the bodice front. A wide round
collarette and slightly shirred bodice
front led the eye up to fat hat perched
coQuettishly awry.
No more does womankind Inquire:
us my hat on straight?" Better II IL
is not. Something OF rakishness In the
air is admissible. Men and women. too,
have brought home this freak from
London. The swagger young man
tilts his bell-crown dicer trihe over
the left eye. The Swagger young wo-
man cants her head covering to either
side at will.
Yachting is in the air OF Newport
The great local cup races-the GoeIet
and Brenton's Reef-come of at the end
OF summer, but it is nothing for this
yachting, semi-aquatic people TO make
up parties and run down TO New YORK
or up 20 Boston for the summer regat-
tas. Nothing in all the range OF
fashions material holds its own like
serge. Blue serge, white flannel,
white duck. curls and crimps,
carefully battened down-there you
have the summer girl aAost. Yachting
gowns show the influence, the ebo and
flow, OF modistical tides, but except for
wider and ampler skirts and longer
Jackets, they are much as they always
were, and yachting caps are kept In
favor by utility as well as favor.a
The swells talk, now and then, about
hard times, and sometimes whisper that
so and so is economical with his cham
payne. Is this q disadvantage?

That now is dress whose color, pale
but rich, will win praise anywhere.
Piazzss are the chief home delights OF
Newport. A city house has ample
spaces, broad gates, beautiful pic
lures, but never these great out-of-door
rooms, screened from the impairment
gaze by green vines and overlooking the
beautiful scenes. The piazza.gowns and
the yachting gowns fill big part In a
Newport wardrobe. Sackcloth with
out the ashes is q popular material for
uiazza gowns. Pique is sometimes
used ia combination with II 10 pictur-
esoue disregard Of their warning ns-
lures. So is linen used with serge, duck
with rough faced cloths-all outer COM
biuations. / remember q charming
piazza dress, fit for many summer coca

But there are more TO come. The
whole aspect of foreign travel is chang
ing for the dsrlings Of fortune. Once

the poet, climbed Mont Blanc and SAIL

ping expedition in Paris complete a
foreign outing aud trip which begins
in March ends in May or early June, in

fitting ways than fashion, and culture

Orleans as Literary Center.

New YORK, June 23.-The rapidity
with which literary regulations are now
made is something marvellous. Almost
every week produces some new sue
cesSfuI" novel which everybody rushes
off to buy and read, while editors and
reporters pursue the fortunate, or 10
may be, unfortunate, author with re-
quests for contributions and interviews.
10 the case of Miss Beatrice Harraden,
OF "Ships That Pass in the Night fame,
this state Of affairs reached an aosurd
point. Even before she had landed
from her steamer, Miss Harraden was
run down by people in search OF Der
views on American literary matters,
and during a brief visit near Yonkers
y. Y, made for the purpose Of obtain
ing little rest, it was a current jest
that the woods of Westchester county
were full Of lost messenger boys and
strayed sub-editors in search OF MISS
Harraden. At first sight II would seem
that the old conditions OF American
barbarity had returned, and the Incl
dent might well tempt the satire OF
some new Dickens, were 1t not that
our English cousins are tarred with the
same stick themselves now.
In no such fashion has the literary
reputation Of Mrs. Ruth McEnery Stu
art been gained. Hers has been
steady advance in favor, as the excel
lsnce OF her literary work has forced
itself on popular appreciation. She has
lived quietly in New York for nearly
four years, busily occupied with her
pen, and it is only recently that she

strain when the eye is imperfectly
| sighted and far-sighted' eyes"
The doctor then went on TO explain
that the "far-sighted" eye is flattened
at the back Of the ball. This brings tbs
yellow spot" too far forward, and the
rays OF light focus behind the eye, In
stead OF at the yellow spot as is indca-
ted by Fig. /. By the use of convex
lens the rays are made TO converge
more, and they they focus at the "yel-
lew spot" or point OF vision, as in Fig.
3. Far-sighted people should wear con-
vex glasses.
In the same way be explained how
the "near-sighted" eye is elongated from
front TO back, and this pushes the
yellow spot" back, so that the rays of
light do not quite reach il. Fig.
shows how a concaye lens corrects the
error.
Eyes that are far apart, giving frank
open expression OF countenance, are apt
to be far-sighted,
Near-sighted people usually have
prominent eyes, and it only requires =
little Imagination to picture them ex-
tending back like pecans inside the
head.
Blue and gray eyes are said to last
better than dark ones.
