SPRING HINTS.
Some Good and Necessary Ad-
vice at this Season.
There Are Some Things We Must
Surely Do.
And This Thing is by Farthe Most Important Of
Them All.

Everybody needs spring medicine-a
remedy which will strengthen and invig
crate the system, and tone up the action
of all the organs. The change from cold
to warm weather causes depression OF
the vital forces, resulting in weakened
nerves, impure blood, and inactive organs.
Our esteemed correspondent, Mrs. A. ;.
Gould, writes us from Garland, Me, some
facts in regard to this subject which will
be OF great interest and value just at this
season:
Through the loss of my mother, the
sickness of my husband, and the extra
work which fell upon me, was thrown
into condition of nervous and physical
exhaustion. I grew constantly worse.
cannot find words to express that terrible
feeling that existed through my whole
system-a feeling of utter weakness and
prostration, with strange nervous sensa
tons
my right foot was so bad it was with
great difficulty 1 could walk. had t.
place my foot every way to keep from fall
ing My hands and arms were weak,
numb and prlckly. l was very tired all
the time. There was heavy dull feel
ing in my limbs. Nights they seemed like
lead weights. When out riding a mile
distance, they would feel as though had
lost the use of them | would move my
fingers and arms TO see if could. l eX-

"Then began to take DR.. Greene's Ner-
vura blood and nerve remedy. The first
bottle did not seem to help me much, but
the second bottle did, and made me bet
ter. 1 kept on using it.

And II Took Him But Two Minutes oil First
Round to Do II.

London, March 1.-The fight between
Frank p. Slavin and Frank Craig, the
Harlem coffee cooler,'' took place at
Central hall, Holborn, this evening, and
was quickly decided. Slavin defeated his
opponent in the first round. The hall was
crowded Slavin and Craig entered the
ring at Q 80, being received with much ap-
plause.
When time was called both men spared
cautiously for fully 30 seconds, then Slavin
got home lightly on the head. This led
to a rally during which Slayin got in a
couple of heavy blows on Craig's ribs. On
breaking away, SIavin swung with his
right and, catching Craig with the back Of
his fist on the jaw, knocked him down
and out.
The sudden conclusion of the battle
which lasted barely two minutes, created
great excitement among the spectators.
Charley Mitchell and Ted Pritchard acted
as seconds for Slavin, and Craig interests

VIBRATIONS OF THE leMMlNG.
A Norwegian Animal That Is Compelled
to Keep Moving.

Professor r. Co,lett of Chrlstiania, who
has long been engaged in making re-
searches into the habits and migrations of
that interesting little rodent, the lemming,
has published valuable monograph on its
periodic wanderings in vast hordes down
tho Scandinavian valleys The migrations,
which have. long attracted the attention of
naturalists, are explained by Professor
Collctt rs directly due to overproduction.
In certain years, termed By the writer
"prolific years. F" an abnormal fccundity is
exhibited by the lcmming, but tho phenom-
enon is not confined to this species alone,
being equally apparent in numerous fam
lilies of mammals, birds and insects. The
consequences of this great multiplication
of tho lemming is that the enormous null
titudes require increased space, and the in
dividuals, which under normal conditions,
have each an excessively large tract at their
disposal, cannot on account of their dispo-
sition bear the unaccustomed proximity of
their numerous neighpors. Involuntarily
the individuals are pressed out to the sides
until the edge of the mountain is reached.
For short time they enjoy themselves
there and the old individuals willingly
breed In the upper regions of the forests,
where in ordinary times they are entirely
wanting. New swarms, however, follow
on. The journey proceeds onward by each
fresh accretion down the sides of the noun
tains until, when they reach the valleys,
they meet with localities which are quite
foreign to them. They then continue
blindly on, endcavoring to find home
corresponding in conditions to that which
they have left, but which they never re-
gain. The migratory individuals proceed
hopelessly on to certain death.
Sooner or later all the wanderers are de-
stroyed-thousands are drowned in rivers
or fords, thousands are attacked by beasts
and birds of prey, thousands perish from
the effects of cold and damp, but by far
the largest number die from the effects Of
a peculiar epidemic which seizes them as
soon as they reach the lowlands, but from
which they appear to enjoy entire immu-
nifty in their mountain forests. This wan.
dering Instinct developed during migra.
tory years Is suggested by Professor Collett
as being of distinct service to the species
In reducing the surplus population.

HYGIENE OF THE EYE.
A Few Simple Rules For the Preservation
of the sight.

A few simple rules carefully obeyed viii
do much 10 preserve the eyes In health.
Light and color in rooms are important.
Tho walls are best finished in single tint.
Windows should open directly upon the
outer air, aud light IL better when they
arr close together, not separated by much
wall space not distributed. Light should
be abundant, but not dazzling. Ii should
never come from In front, nor should sun
high, fall upon work or on the printed
page Never read or sew In the twilight
after az exhausting fever nor before
breakfast Look up frequently when at
work and fix the eyes upon some distant
object Break up the stretch Of wall By
pictures that have good perspective
These rest the eye as docs looking out OF
window
When et work on minute objects, rise
occasionally, take deer inspirations with
the mouth closed stretch the body erect
throw the arms backward and forward and
step to an open window or out into the
oper air for a moment. Two desks of diff
ferent heights are valuable for a student
or writer, one to stand by and the other &c
sit by. Plenty of open air exercise is es.
sential TO good eyesight.
The general tone Of the nervous system
has much to do with the eyesight. Pro
longed or excessive study frequently has
pain or poor vision as symptom. The use
of tobacco may bring about defective vi
sion, and alcohol sometimes DESTROYS Ii
utterly, owing to nerve Inflammation that
it sets up. City life, with shut in streets
and narrow outlook, favors the production
of errors in vision. When looking at dis
tant objects, the normal eye is at rest To
see near by muscular effort is required.
This effort when constant, changes the
shape of the eyeball. After the eighteenth
or twentieth year parts of the eye that
earlier showed signs of bullying or becom-
ing nearsighted may acquire new strength,
and those who escape myopia up to this
time are usually free from it after that.
The children of nearsighted parents arc in
special danger. They require constant
care. 1t is best to have all childrens ewes
examined for defects when they are 10
years old.
Nearsight and color blindness are bar
riers TO the army and navy, to certain fine
and mechanic arts and to many industrial
pursuits. Their early recognition saves
time and money and often prevents the
encouragement of defeat ~
Ounces of prevention are better than
tons of cure. There are but few forms of
partial or total blindness that were not at
one time the reverse Of hopeless In view
OF this fact, the duty of parents and guard.
ians Is clearly manifest. Ignorance must
be replaced by knowledge. carelessness by
enlightened forethought. Precautions in
the way of type light, color and rest and
exercise, together with occasional calls up-
on the ooulist, will probably secure fair
eyesight for life-Outlook.
