In Buncombe County, N. c., one of
the Republican candidates in the re-
cent election was named Gambler, but on
number of tickets it was printed
Chandler. The election officials threw out
the misspelled ballots and counted in the
Democratic candidate. He, however, has
refused to accept the office on the ground
that the voters clearly intended to elect
his competitor. We must, therefore,
score one for Buncombe, and remem Der
after this that Buncombe County politics
is a good deal better than tn at of some
other counties that brag more.

MIND YOUR EYE.

What Ton Should Avoid if You De-
 sire to Preserve Your Sight.
 As nature has endowed each one of us with only one pair of eyes and will not duplicate them when injured, the following half score of ''don'ts" should not only be indelibly impressed on our memories, but be religiously remem- bered:
 pr. G. Sterling Ryerson, professor of Ophthalmology in Trinity Medical Col lcge, Toronto, says: ''Myopia being es- sentially a condition due to abuse of the eye, one is constantly obliged to say don't to patients. It occurs to me that it might be useful to put these pre- hibitory rules in aphoristic form:
 T. Don't read in railway trains or in vehicles in motion. ?. Don't read lying down or in constrained position. 3. Don't read by freight, moonlight or twilight. 4. Don't read by f1ickering gaSlight or candlelight. 5. Don't read books printed on thin paper. 6. Don't read books which have no space be- tween the lines. '. Don't read for more than fifty minutes without stopping, whether the eyes are tired or not. s. Don't hold the reading close to the eyes. 9. Don't study at night, but in the morning when you are fresh. 10. Don't select your own glasses at the outset.
 Tt would almost seem as though some of these rules were too obvious to require mention, but practical expert ence shows that most people abuse their eyes just in the way stated
 'In short, anything which tends to in- crease the quantity of blood in the organ favors the increase of the defect, lead ing in extreme cases to detachment of the retina and blindness. ."-Canadian Lancet.

 In proof of what that remarkable remedy can do to make sick person strong and well, Major Robbins letter from Indian apolis best tells it's own straightforward story.

 In addition to having no ears, he has fish mouth and is deaf and dumb. The sides of his head are smooth except where the lobe of the ear should be. At this spot there is a slight growth that projects above the side of the head. His forehead is low The top of the head slopes until it reaches the back of the cranium. He has little or no chin and his mouth projects to such an extent that it has the appearance of the mouth of fish. His head is covered with a sparse growth of thin hair. The re- mainder of the lads body is perfect. His hands and feet are very small.
