EXERCISE FOR THE EYES,
Absolutely Necessary In Order That t
YiSinn MAY Re Preserved


Vision May Be Preserved.
When the eyes are treated fairly, they
are strengthened, not weakened, by
work. Just as the arms of blacksmith
grow the stronger for his trade, SO the
eyes of watchmakers who work under
healthy conditions are found to improve
and not to deteriorate in vigor and
quickness. 1t is the abuse of the eyes,
not their use, which is to be avoided.
If man is aware either that his eyes
need no artificial correction or else
have received their proper adjustment,
and if his work, whether literary or
mechanical, is done in a light both
steady and sufficient and with duo re-
gard as to ordinary sanitary rules, he
may feel sure that he is strengthening
his eyes, not weakening them, by hard
work. Men of intellectual pursuits
sometimes are afraid of losing their
mental powers in old age because they
have drawn so much upon them when
young. The reverse is nearer the truth,
and if they have not overtaXcd their
brains the fear is absolutely grCundless.
The man whose intellect goes first in
old age is generally some farmer OF la
borer who has never strengthened and
invigorated it by use; not the politician,
the lawyer or the man of letters. So
with the eyes. Those who had strength
ened their eyes by using them properly
keep keen sight longer than those who
have never trained them. In the case
of the man who has neglected to give
his eyes full development they will fail
-, o. /; l,-
functions. When, however, the man
who, born with good eyes, has kept
them in constant hard work and yet
never strained them reaches old age, he
may find them capable of performing
their functions better than any other or
gan of the body.-Philadelphia Times.

ANY one who will take the trouble to
look over the worlds situation just now
will be struck with TIL. fact that rarely, in
It's history have there been so many inter
national Disturbances some of them thus
far getting only to anLry words, while
others have resulted in blows. Nearly all
the South and Central American states are
ut 10 IgerheadS Brazil is in the midst of
civil war Mexico is troubled with internal
Discussions and lawlessnesS, Germany has
lust escaped serious trouble with socialists,
France and Spain are ann 'yed by anarch-
ism England is not in the most comfort
able condition in regard TO some of her
possessions, while the United States are in
a politically disturbed state of mind the
end of which not even the most astute can
foreSee.
THE mayor and democratic members of
the common council and board of fire COM
missionerS must not recede from the posi-
ton they have taken. The future of the
local democ""cv is at stake. If ever there
WAS need of backbone it is now. For
years the democrats have secured nothing
except what they have been able to win by
virtue of superior numbers at the polls.
The town is divided in such manner that,
although the democrats outnumber their
opponents by five hundred or more, they
cannot secure control of the council Had
the republican members of the present
board of councilmen shown spirit of fair
ness and allowed the democrats equal
representation on the road board, it is not
probable that Chief Snagg would have
been disturbed. The democrats, although
having it in their power to turn down MIR
Snagg. who is one of the keenest repubh-
can politicians in the city, and who is
always consulted by the party leaders in
making up their tickets for the annual city
election, would have reelected him had
not the republicans taken the unfair ad-
vantage resulting from tie in the lower
board of the council. Republican greed,
therefore, Is TO blame for the condition of
affairs The party whips" overreached
themselves, however, and are now taking a
dose of their own medicine. Uncondi-
tlonal surrender should be the watchword
of Mavor Kilduff and his colleagues.

1t may be said without exaggeration
that swearing forms an important fac
tor in the masculine vocabulary of
nearly every civilized nation. Great
writers like Shakespeare knew this. a
collection of Shakespearean oaths and
epithets with their etymology would
fill volume. Shakespeare realized
that they were inseparable from a faith
full portrayal of virilo human charac-
ter; that no truthful picture of COM
mon life would be possible without the
use of that strong Vehement language
in which men express their emotions.
But convcntionality forbids to nine
teenth century writers what the Eliza
bethan age not only tolerated, but APP
proved -Philadelphia Press.

Coyote and Eagle.

W. c. Plummer of Prineville once
witnessed an exciting fight between an
eagle and coyote. The eagle had
caught rabbit, and the coyote under
took to take it away from him. The
eagle defended his prey manfully for
some time, but the coyote was too much
for him and finally got away with the
rabbit, but not until after the eagle had
clawed several handfuls of hair out of
his back and left him somewhat disfig-
ured. Portland Oregonian.

THE New York bankers were incensed
last week when Secretary Carlisle visited
chem because he did not offer them q COM
mission to float the proposed issue of
bonds. They parted from the secretary
in huff, and subscribed for no bonds.
The next day they were piling over one
another in their anxiety to get the bonds
and the whole issue was subscribed for
within a day. All of which goes to show
that Mr. Carlisle has too much backbone to
be overawed by the bankers of Gotham.

WASHINGTON, December 29.-One
