THE EYES.

Tt has been demonstrated that there is
more eye and head aches from the defects
of refraotion and the use OF glasses not
properly adjusted than from all other
causes. and that it is absolutely necessary
to have the eyes scientifically and sldllfuliy
examined and fitted with glasses to secure
relief and prevent injury.
Those needing spectacles, or their eyes
tire or head aches when reading or sewing
can consult and have their eyes examined

From the London Exchange
What Is the most striking instance of
journalistic enterprise on record? I fancy
it would be hard to beat the following
case, which remember being told me in
America A reporter was dispatched from
New York to the distant scene of an exc
cution. On arrival he found that the exc
cution was fixed for noon-a fixture just
an hour too late for him to get off his dis
patch in time Nothing daunted, he went
to the sheriff and implored that official to
put the execution forward. The sheriff
naturally refused, but was ultimately so
far talked round as to promise to authorize
the change 'f the person chiefly concern
ed made no objection" The reporter in
accordance with the usual custom in
America, was admitted to the condemned
cell, where he explained his errand to its
occupant. Drinks were freely partaken of,
and the reporter made himself SO agree
able that the prisoner was hanged If he
minded being hanged an hour before his
time to oblige SO pleasant a fellow" The
sheriff was as good as his word, and the
reporter got off in good time a full. live
and particular account of the execution.

and attendance. 1t will be rally of young
Methodsts in the District. The young
people of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South have been invited to attend, and a
large number have signifej their intention
of being present.
Previous to the organization of the league
five young peoples societies were officially
recognized by the Methodist Episcopal
Church, some of the churches having one
or more of these societies. There was, it
was II ought, a lack of harmony and uni
formity in the work. A call was issued for
a conference Of these and other organiza-
lions of young people to meet to devise
som. plan by which the work Of the young
people in the church might be enhanced.
On May IA. 1889, representatives of five of
these societies assembled in the city of
Cleveland. Ohio. After a two days con-
ference the name and plan Of the Epworth
League were evolved. 1t was first and
formally adopted as part of the religious
economy of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at the general conference in May
1892. In 1894 the NJ. E. Church South and
the Csradian Methodist Church officially
recognized and adopted the Epworth
League, with similar plans of work.

about grip is getting over IL, and even
after IL is broken, IL is weeks sometimes

Here Is where the great danger, the
great dread which attends the grip arises.

and open TO all the attacks which may

the after-affects OF the grip, and that
is 10 build up the system by genuine
