Headaches from Eve strain.

DR.. S. Weir Mitchell says there ara
many headaches which are due directly
TO disorders of the retroactive or accom-
modative apparatus of the eyes. In
some instances the brain symptom il
often the most prominent. and some
times the sole prominent symptom o.
the eye troubles, so that while theirs
may be no pain or sense of fatigue in thu
eye, the strain with which il is useC
may be interpreted solely by occipita
or frontal headache. The long contin
nance of eye troubles may be the I'm
suspected source of insomnia, vertigo
nausea and general failure of health
In many cases the eye trouble becomes
suddenly rnischievous, owing TO som,
failure Of the general health, or to in
creased sensitiveness of tie brain fro,

Habits of the snipe of the jersey
Coast

Habits of the snipe of the Jersey
Coast
If you live on the Jersey coast, OF
any of the neighboring ones, and wake
up one September morning with good
southeaster, which has been blowing
since the previous evening, rafting
around your windows. accompanied by
drizzle, get up and put on your shoot
ing "togs," oil your gun well, and pre-
pare for good days sport. The birds
do not like to fly in a high wind, and
will almost always como up into the
coast bays and rivers to feed on the
overfowed meadows tiat such storms
produce.
1t is a rather difficult thing to de-
termine on what kind of ground you
will find snipe; some days they will
be found in great abundance in one
locality, and the day after hardly
bird will be seen. The weather has
something to do with this, and by
careful study of it some idea may be
gained as to where to find the birds,
though this will not always prove re-
liable.
f. When the wind in a storm is not too
high, the birds usually remain on the
sea beach, and when it is violent you
will run a pretty fair chance of finding
them inland. During the southeastern
mentioned, if the wind is rather high,
and there is heavy tide, sandpiperlikes
nothing better than to spend the day
padding around on the flooded salt
meadows, picking up the little worms
and bugs that have been soaked out
of their homes in the grass and soil.
Here you will find them in large focks,
travelling by short flights from one end
of the meadow to the other, showing
very little disposition to move on. But
above all his happiness seems wholly
complete if he can find a meadow on
which the grass has been cut but not
collected in mows at the time of the
overflow. The floating grass affords
a refuge for all the waahed-out bug in
habitants of the meadow. aud the snipe
make the most of the rare treat offered.
This kind of misunderstanding is very
pleasant, as the birds will not fly far
when flushed" and it is possible to
follow a flock all around the meadow, Sc
curing several shots before it takes
fight for good. The sedge islands at
the mouths of rivers and bays are great
feeding grounds when the wind is not
sc high. and tide not sufficient to flood
the Aelds.-Harper's Round Table.

Various causes for the phenomena Of

That function brings carbon into ths

Louisville, KY, Sept. 24.-In an inter-
view, Chairman Parker of the PopuliSt
state committee, repudiates the con-
5truction put on the fusion agreement
by the Democratic committee. Mr..
Parker says the agreement does not
bind the Populists TO support the Demo-
cratic congressional candidates, but on
ly pledges them to assist in haTmoniZing
all differences in these races. Accord
ingly, says Mr.. Parker, the PODulists
will insist that the Democrats endorse
the PopuliSt candidates in the First
and Fourth districts where the Populist
strength is formidable. The Democratic
committee CONSTITUTES the agreement to
mean that in return for two electors the
Populists are to support all other Dem>
ocratic candidates and the conflict of
opinion will cause fresh differences.
