AsTIGMATIsM.-In the Emmetropic Tor
normaD Eye,the cornea is nearly the segment
of sphere, that is its surface is of equal chr
vature. 1t frequently happens, however that
the cornea is Of defective conformation, and, ,
instead of being the segment of sphere, il is
more convex and more highly curved in one
portion Of its surface than in the other. In
consequence Of this defect, objects are seen
more clearly in one direction than in another;
this latter generally at right angles to the
meridian ofgreatest clearness. For instance
an eye may see perfectly, objects lying IN a
perpendicular plane, and yet be very defec.
tive for viewing objects in horizontal direc-
ton. Where this defect exists, the type, in
reading, presents "blurrei" and indis:inct
appearance, because the lines composing the
letters are aot seen IN all directions with
uniform clcarness.
Astigmatic persons generally hold objects
close TO the eyes, in order to render them
clearer and In consequence are often thought
tobe nearsighted. Children troubled with rs.
tigmatism haye great difficulty in learning TO
read, and are often accused Of stupidity when
they are really unable to see the letters dis
tincty. This is particularly the case where
the setismatism is ola high degree.
There are frye varieties OF astlgmatism.
l will pane them here, aud take them in the
regular form. for the information Of those
Interested as the most important organ in the
human frame.
The varieties irregular astigmatism are as
follows:
Simple hypermetropic astignatism.
Compound hyyermetropic astlgmatism.
Simple myopic astigmatism.
Compound myopic astigmatism.
Mixed astigmatiem.
As,igmatlsm, is by no means rare affec-
ton but is found more frequently in men
than in women. 1t is generally bin-ocular
and then not always of the same grade in
both eyes; sometimes, however, it is confined
to one eye and may then have attained high
development and resembles amblyopia. la
high degree Of astigmatism ispresent in one
eye only, it very often happens that the
patient unconscously ceases to use that eye
entirely, and later on deyelopcs bad case
Of amblyopia.
Call and have your eyes examined free.

There is strong talk of forming a new
county from portions of Anne Arundel,
Howard Montgomery and Prince Georges.
The county seat would likely be either
Laurel or Hyattsvile, and the question is
likely to come before the next Legislature.
Joseph Parker. son of Joseph A. Parker
ofPortsmouth Va. a student Of Mt. St. Mary's
College. Emmitsburg. aged eighteen years
met with serious accident while coasting
last Friday evening, resulting in conclusion
of the brain. He died from his injuries about
two hours later. His remains were forwarded
to his home next day.
1t is estimated that the income tax will
yield for the government from Washington
County some $4,000. 1t is thought that it
will catch about 20 private families and about
25 corporations, banks and business firms.
The deputy collector sent down the names
by selection from the county tax books, and
also upon his private judgment, as there are
some wealthy men who pay little or no taxes.
