THE HUMAN EYE.

Like the Arm, tho Ono That IL Most Used
II Strongest.
You are either left-eyed or right-eyed,
unless you are the one person out of
every Is who has eyes of equal strength.
You also belong to the small minority
Of one out of every ten persons if your
left eye is stronger than your right.
AS rule, just as people are right-hand-
ed, they are right-eyed.
This is probably due to the generally
greater use of the organs of the right
side of the body, as, for example, a
sportsman, using his right arm and
shoulder, uses his right eye to sight his
gun, thereby strengthening it with ex-
ercise.
Old sea captains, after long use Of the
telescope, find their right eye- much
stronger than the left. The law is con-
firmed by the experience of aurists.
If q person who has ears of equal hear
ing has cause to use one ear more than
the other for a long period, the ear
brought into requisition is found to be
much strengthened, and the ear which
is not used loses its hearing in cor
responding degree.

Mr.. EDITOR: As the time for electing
officers will soon be here. and as the officers
fare of the county, will you please call pub
lie attention to the importance of this sub
ject? Especially important is it to keep out
of Office men whose chief object is to fill
their purse, and who get their work done by
q deputy, that they may indulge in their
laziness,
There should be in Emmons county five
commissioners. The extra expense caused
by two more commissioners could be more
than repaid by better management of the
county affairs, which would only be possible
by having five commissioners.
No lawyer should be sent to the legisla-
tnre, for the reason that the lawyers are bent
on making more offices and raising salaries.
And how can we expect man who works,
not for the public good, but for his purse,
to aid in passing laws for the public good?
The farmers should wake up. Throw

be to you no injury, but be of great good to
