rather pedantic, wrote a life Of Mr..

which happened in the third century be-

of Ptolemy III, and he appealed to John

IA Academy Headache"

Children ne school Are Inclined 70 Have
"tho Academy Headaohe."
One Of the common causes Of pain
above the brUws is the overuse Of the
eyes and the strain Of accommodation
in constantly looking at near objects.
In its transient form it may be famil-
lar to some as the result Of a visit to
a picture gallery, but in more senses
than n this may DO known as ''the
academy headache, " for IL IL is Temporal
rily developed in a morning spent at
Burlington House il is even more
readily excited and permanently estab-
lished among the children at the board
schools and the girls Of the high schools.
Seventy-two per cent Of the children Of
today are said to be sufferers from de-
feotive eyesight, generally in the direc-
ton Of difficulty In seeing neal objects
clearly. Headache is almost always pres
emit in the cases Of the poor little crea-
lures, whose bodies are starved while
their minds are oyerfed in the scramble
for educational grants.
The ocular headache Is often cock
istent with the anemio headache, espe-
ciaLly in growing girls. Here we find
frontal or supraorbital pain, due to eye
strain, associated with the vertical pain
felt all over the top of the head, which
is characteristic of bloodlessnesA Plenty
Of wholesome food, fresh air and out Of
door exercise will help to combat the
anemia, while the practice Of looking
at distant objects, and, alas the use OF
appropriate spectacles may relieve the

damage the sight, SO that for the sake
Of education and in the struggle for life

Cuba is 10y far the largest and tho

group, having an area of Il littlo over

over 1000 feet high. The interior, is,
for the most part, elevated and
healthy, but the low coast lauds have
torrid climate and abound in fevers
and the accompanying diseases. The
forests are Of vast extent. 1t is esti-
mated that, of 20,0o0.O00 acres of
land still remaining wild and unculti-
waited, nearly ID, 00O, 900 are uncleared

A Growing Industry.

The other day tho Postoilics author
tiles ut Washington had their atten-
ton called to tho circular sent through
colleges Offering to furnish them with
essays aud speeches for SO much per
hundred words.
Many heals of schools and colleges
urged the department to rnle these
circulars out of the mails, but after
due consideration the authorities de-
cidel that they could not exclude
them.
In one shape or another this bust
ness has been going on for many
years. 1t is dishonest for pupil to
buy nh essay or speech and palm it
of MS his own, but there will always
he youngsters who will do it at any
risk. The temptation is hard to re-
sist in some cases. Take, for instance,
bright boy who is gifted with mathe-
NAUTICAL talent. His teachers take it
for granted that he can write passably
we'll and they demand good compost
tions and speeches. But this is the
one Shing i'll which the pupil is deti-
cient. He has head for figures, but
he has no command of language.
When such a boy i ! pushed to the wall
he is tempted to borrow or buy the
productions of others. He does it to
maintain his standing at school. With
him it is II case of necessity.
There is one good thing about this
ready-made speech industry. 1t en-
ables some very clever men and wo-
men to earn many extra dollars which
they could not make III any other way.

Republicans Wrong All the Time.

State Senator Clarence Lexow, New
York, whose name is we'll known
through his connection with'the Lexow
Investigating Committee, was re-
Gently interviewed by reporter for
tho New York Tribune. Speaking on
the numerous WACO advances of the
past year. MIR, Lexow said: "Ths
matter of reported increases in wages
is temporary thing. If it is other
wise, then we are all wrong, and havo
been in the wrong all the time"
AS every intelligent citizen knows
the movement for higher wages is not
merely temporary thing but has
been gradually growing ever since the
Wilson tariff went into operation.
From few isolated cases it has spread
nil over the country, until even the
New York Tribune was forced to con-
fess two months ago that tho number
of workers who had had their wages
raised was really over million. Since
that time at least 400, 900 moro have
secured increased pay, and there is no
indication OF reaction.
Truly as Senator Lexow says, the
Republicans have been wrong all the
time on this question. They pre-
tended that protection raised wages,
and that if the high tariffs were re-
duced, factories would be closed aud
wages cut down. But when put to
the test of experience the protection
theory failed on every point. Tho
mills which were idle have oil started
up. New factories are being built all
over the country, and wages have been
increased. Thus have the facts con-
founded the silly theory that shutting
out trade and imposing high taxes
add to the prosperity of our people.

CAUSES OF PROSPERITY.
WITH A DEMOCRATIC TARIFF GOOD
TINES HAVE COME.


With the Mckinley Tariff In Forco
the Country Suffered From the
Worst business Depression In Its
Entire IIistory-Undeniabl Facts.
Such high tariff organs as are will
ing to acknowledge the great improve
ment in business which has followed
the adoption of the Wilson tariff
claim that the increased prosperity is
mainly due to the prospects of good
crops. 1t is true that the condition
OF tiade depends in the long run on
the prosperity of the farmers, and 1t
is for that reason that Democrats have
always advocated tariff policy which
would Tighten the farmers tax bur-
dens and give him wider markets.
But the point at 1ssue between protec.
tionists and tariff reformers is not to
be settled by discussion of the ulti-
mate causes OF the present business
revival. For many years an army of
paid high tariff orators and writer's
have been boldly claiming that all this
country's wealth and industry was due
to the trade restriction and high taxa
ton policy of the Republican party.
And they positively asserted that if
the Democratic principles of lower
taxes and freer trade were adopted the
country would be practically ruined
and that prosperity would be impossi-
bic under tariff reform. 1t was not
question of crops, but of Mckinley
ism, which was to make good times,
and those who fought for revenue
tariff were denounced as enemies OF
their country, bribed by foreign gold
to ruin our industries.
Now, on the issue so clearly stated
by the Republicans the trade condi-
tions of the country have given most
decisive answer. There is no longer
any room for doubt rs to the central
fact, that in 1893 and the first half of
1894, with the Mckinley tariff in force,
the country was suffering from the
worst business depression in its his
tory. AS soon as tariff reform policy
went into operation industry began to
revive, trade in all lines increased,
wages of over million men advanced
from five to thirty per cent, mills
and factories closed under McKin.
leyism started up again, and bright
financial and commercial outlook fol-
lowed one of gloom and disaster.
These are the facts. 1t matters not
how tho high tariffites explain them.
The prosperity which they claimed was
impossible under Democratic tariff
is here. The whole country knows
that conditions are vastly improved
over those of two years ago, or year
ugo. And III admitting the improve
ment, while trying to belittle tho in
fuence of tariff reform in bringing it
about, the Republicans are confessing
that they lied when they said that
trade and industry could not flourish
under q revenue tariff.
