For the Troublesome cinder.

When travelling, you should always car
ry tiny box of faxseed for possible Gin
ders. The instant that you feel a foreign
substance in the eye throw your head back
and drop two or three fiaxseeds on the ball
of the eye and lift the upper lid and draw
it down over them, so as to hold them in.
Then go about your business There is
absolutely no disagreeable sensation at
tached to putting the seed in, and the re-
lief will come instantly. The theory is that
the moisture of the eye dampens the seed,
and it gives out mucous substance
which spreads over the eye and covers the
grit. After awhile the seeds will begin
to work out and will bring the offending
particle with them.-Philadelph Times.

Difficulty of Enforcing the Liquor Law

Difficulty of Enforcing the Liquor Law.
Here is an example of the practical diff
culties which the officers meet when they
try to enforce the liquor law.
A place on India street was complained
of and the police searched il for liquor.
They found q small quantity and carried it
away. TwoShours Later they went to the
same place'aga Theeowner had had time
to procure fresh stock and his place was
in full operation again. The police made
another seizure. clean ing the place out and
searching.it thoroughly. This was on Sat
urday. Early Sunday morning the officers
visited the place and made third seizure.
Yesterday for the fourth time, the shop was
raided and more liquor was found. Without
doubt the place is now running full vi, b last,
liquor if they go there.
40 case has been made out in all these
seizures, the owner, whoever he is, being
able to keep in the background.
