snllors, Eyes and Electricity.

Owing to the intensity OF the electric
light used on board of men-of-war men
are frequently affected with eye com
plants, which in some cases have led
to total blindness, says a French mill
tary journal. 1t has been observed that
eyes in which the iris is not heavily
charged with pigments, that is to say
gray and blue eyes, are more likely
to be injurio'lsly affected than brown
eyes. These eye troubles are ascrbed
to two causes, viz, the intensity of the
light and the action Of the ultraviolet
rays. Oculists recommend the interpo-
siton between the eye and any power
full light Of transparent substance,
which will intercept the ultraviolet
rays, such as, for instance, uranium
glass, which Is yellow. The French
naval authorities supply dark blue
glasses for the use OF those who have
to do with searchlights, etc, and the
cases IN which injury has been caused
TO the eyes were those OF men who had
neglected to use their spectacles,
which, however, do not appear to af'
ford any protection against the ultra
violet rays.-Washington Star.

A visit from Norman s. Bull, clerk OF

cheek to the other, tearing off his upper
Jaw, or so nearly that it hung by brit
tie thread as it were. He walked OH
the field and in due time brought up at
a Washington hospital, remaining
there until September, or four months,
when he returned to his regiment for
duty. A silver plate had been ADJUST
ed to take the place Of the upper jaw
but it was painful and worked but
poorly. Capt. Thomas Kerr, later the
lieutenant colonel, was commanding
the regiment, and he said to Bull: For
the love of all that's good, Sergt. Bull,
what are you lack here for?'
"Oh, came back to 60 on duty, cap
tain"
Then happy thought struck the
captain, and he asked: "Look here,
how would you like to be the division
commissary sergeant? You would have
plenty of time there to soak your hard
bread and to cook pancakes"
ct guess I'd like that. Can you get 1t

ExACTlNG DISCIPLINE.
The Cruel Severity Of an Unmerciy"'
Father.

Philip Gilbert Hamertom was during
his childhood, the victim of u severe
and cruel discipline. His father was a
man of ungovernable temper and IT.
regular life, who had no sympathy with
childish foibles, and whose only idep
of educating q boy was to make amal'
Of him"
His method of teaching IL lad to ride
was to accompany him on a vicious
black horse, and when little Philip
erred in any of the observances OF good
riders, to punish him with his heavy
hunting whip. The whip had a steel
hammer at the end Of n long handle;
and If at any time the owner fancied
that the child was turning out his toes
he would not say anything, but with
cruel dexterity hcal him a blow on tho
foot, sharp enough to make him wrltne
with pain.
Yet this Spartan severity had It's val
liable side. The elder Hainerton I'M
derstood the Importance OF eoncentra
ton. and II he saw the boy occupied
with several books, would say:
'STake one OF those books and read
II steadily. Don't potter and play with
half dozen"
What he hated most was lie or the
shadow Of lie, and so bitter was this
aversion that Philip was sometimespun'
ished unjustly. He was expected to
practice with dumb-bells 10 minutes
every morning. This exercise was
taken In the garden, but before begin
ming he always looked at the clock in
the sitting-room. One day the father
met him and asked:
"Have you done your Is minutes"
ayes, papa
"Tbat is not true" said his aunt, from
the next room. ale has only practiced
for ten minutes; look at the clock"
The hand stood at ten minutes past
II; and though the boy protested that
he had begun at ten minutes before thu
hour, the additional lie" put his father
in a fury, and he was ordered to prac.
ticc continually for two hours. And
though the child was ready to drop with
fatigue long before the 100 minutes were
over, mob one Of them was remitted'-
