To remove substances from the eye

When an insect, grain oc sand, or
any similar substance lodges on the
surface Of the eye, the consequence is
pain and inflammation, terminating
if neglected, in obscurity Or dimness
of vision, and sometimes loss Of sight.
The substance may either lie loose on
the surface, or, having penetrated the
outer cost, may remain there fixed.
In the former case it is easily remnv-

New York World, April 49,
On his return from Florida Sen
ator Quay finds that the Mckinley
sentiment has become almost un.
comfortable among Pennsylvania
republicans. The utmost he can
now hope to do is to hold the dele
CATION together until it has given
him a complimentary vote on the
first ballot. He can not guarantee
that it will not change its vote to
Mckinley before the result Of the
ballot is announced.
The same sentiment is develop
ing elsewhere in the east not less
strongly than in Pennsylvania.
The Worlds canvass of New Jer-
sey shows that it's republicans are
virtually unanimous for the
apostle of the home-market idea OF
restricted trade. In spite Of Reeds
popularity in New England the
same feeling prevails in Rhode IS
land, Connecticut, New Hampshire
and even in Massachusetts, where
a strong element of the party is
not wholly in love with the Ohio
platform.
In New York the rank and file oil

and are considering no other
Platt's plans have beer joke from
the start. Republicans expect to
see Mckinley nominated.
This feeling is not the result Of
a sudden change. 1t existed az

Mckinley could not be beaten. II

pers had not realized its existence

Kinley is by far the most popular

republicans than with those OF his

waggle over more impossible
places on the sidewalk in a block

could lay out a track for by mathe-

He was born that way and is not

Beloved, blessed is that man or
that woman, on the streets as well
as in his own life, who looks not
backwards, but forwards. To her
and to him it is given to keep out
of the snares OF the loafer and the
entanglements of ancient forms and
customs. AS in the old Jewish
law the city OF refuge was appoint
ed for the man slayer, and he who
fled for his life looked not back, so
in the law of the American street,
the man who would seek his city
of refuge and reach it unhurt is he
who looks not backward. Par.
ticularly is this true Of this
city, where the streets are
narrow and the highways a
trifie crowded. Remember these
things, my hearers, and when upon
the streets look not backward. So
shall you be had in respect Of those

person will be in safety, no one will
be injured by your carelessness or
worse, and your own conscience

vastly higher and more advanced than even
their most sanguine admirers might have
hoped for IN the time they have been here.
The Irish have always loved learning, and
many an Irish laboring man has toiled
both day and night to give his boys and
girls an education. Other immigrants have
been vastly more slow than the Irish in
this respect. The Anglo Saxon has been
slower than the Irish in this respect. The
Kettle incapacity. for severe study is quite
on a par with what used to be said of the
volatile French some rs years ago, before
Frenchmen showed the world that they
could be quite as profound and deep stu

This theor.zing of the Atlantic's essayist
makes interesting reading, because it re-
fleets the mind of certain class of people
who are sometimes called Anglomaniacs.
The American of the future, in their minds,
is to be an enlarged Plymouth Rock New
Englander of the present day, who is an
idealized Engl;shman. What he will be,
no man may now say; but let us hope that
ilewill have more Of the Celtic reverence for
Divinity and the Celtic sense of the I'm

alistic views than has the ideal and idealiz-
ed New Englander Of today.

''In the workshops of the Fifth Ave;

good lodging counts for great deal.
Then they receive wages of twelve dol
lars per month. The tips from the guests
equal on the average, twelve dollars
more. The hours begin at six in the
morning and end at six in the evening,
each one having four nights of each
week to herself, free from work or care.
The laundry is also an immense depart
