COMMON DANGERS TO THE EYES.
Reading In tho Train Is One OF the Worst
of Them.

An eminent oculist. says the Reading
Times, declares that typewriting has an
injurious effect on the eyes.
The operator is obliged to glance in
c~essantly back and forth from the key
board TO the shorthand notes, and this
Is a muscular exercise of the most ia
tiguing sort. For this reason, the ocu-
list urges, it IL desirable for typewriters
to cultivate a familiarity with the key
board similar to that possessed by the
accomplished pianist with the keyboard
off his instrument, so that il will be
necessary to look at the keys as little as
possible.
While the injury that may result to
the eyes Of a Woodworking typewritist
who is not sure Of her figures and her
keys is not to be regarded too lightly it
Ia not likely to be near as serious as that
resulting from the practice INDUCED in
by so many in these days Of railroad
travel of persistent reading on trains.
This practice is most trying on those
delicate muscles that regulate the shape
of the eyes lenses and so affect the TO-
calization Of the organ. The danger is
greatest. of course, on those railroads
whose ballasting is imperfect and whose
rails are roughly laid, producing much
jarring and consequent rapid changing
OF the distance between the eyes and
the paper.
In some cases the eyes of a victim Of
the railroad reading habit are so af-
fected as to focus at different distances.
and then his su~fferings are most acute.
and though much relief may be af-
forded by the treatment Of a skilled
practitioner. nothing but a discontinue
ance of the habit will afford a perfect
cure.
In the case of a person who suffered
tortures for two or three years from
eye disorder due TO train reading,
neither rest nor professional skill avail
ed until by accident the yellow window
shades in the Office in which he was
employed were removed, when he wa:
able at once to work with greatly in
creased ease and comfort, aud in a few
months was entirely cured.

Silver CONVENTION, st. Louis, Mo, July
%~~The strain OF the past few days
showed upon the delegates of the silver
convention his morning. They were
slow In gathering In the hall, and the
attendance was somewhat diminished.
The leaders of the party, who were early
on the scene, expressed the opinion that
this would be the last day OF the con-
ventlon.
The chairman raped for order at
lo:4O and introduced Rev. w. r. Covert,
OF the Missouri delegation. who opehed
the proceedings with the Lords prayer.
Mr. Baker OF California, chairman Of
the committee On conference, announced
that the two committees had met this
morning and would meet again at 1
o'clock this afternoon. The silverites
were assured, he said. that the populists
were now working harmonlously along
the lines laid down by this convention.
CCheers.) He believed that an unani-
nous report from the conference COM
mittees OF the two conventions would be
one OF the strongest campaign docu-
ments that could be circulated. IN order
that that might be successfully accom-
plished. he moved hat the further pro-
ceedings of the convention relating to
the adoption OF a platform and nomlna-
lions be deferred till this afternoon at
$3.50 o'clock. This was seconded by del.
egates from Kansas, and Wisconsin and
the motion was carried with but one
dissenting vote. The rest OF the nation
al committee was announced and the
members were requested to meet imme-
diately upon adjournment his morning.
The members are as follows.
