How Are Your Eyes?

A woman with a clear sparkling eye
nowadays is something of a rarity.
Care is necessary to preserve the eyes.
One fruitful source of trouble is the
pretty white veil, which is undeniably
more becoming than the colored ones
but which is making the oculist rich.
II is the most prolific source of wealth
for these learned gentleman that was
ever invented. When the sunlight
strikes a white veil the woman behind
it can no more see an inch ahead of
her than she can fly. But it looks pref
tier than a black veil-and she is a
woman.
Hot water and witch hazel, tea leaf
poultices and such remedies are used
by women who have heard the eyes
are benefited by such treatment. Every
woman has heard bread and milk rec
commended and beladonna, but these
remedies are likely to cause gather
ings. Tepid water and salt form a
wash which has never been excelled
and which cannot hurt the eye.
The habit of STOPPING over when read
ing or writing has a bad effect on most
eyes and should be avoided, especilly
if one is near-sighted. When people
approach the age of 40 the morning pa
per is apt to appear blurred and they
complain the printing is getting bad.
The trouble is they need glasses. If
they do not get them, later on their
eyes will deteriorate so rapidly they
will be obliged to wear them all the
time. On the other hand if a person
puts on glasses when the first warning
of tired eyes is received he will never
be obliged to wear them the rest of his
life except when doing fine work.
When the eyes are tired and infiamed
put q teaspoonful of table salt into
half a pint of water. When it is dis
solved use several times a day with an
eye-dropper. If simply dashed against
the eyes, the seat of inflammation is
not reached at all. Or a teaspoonful
of boracic acid in half a pint of warm
water is both cooling and soothing and
rarely fails to relieve Inflammation of
the eyes.
In case of acute Inflammation of the
eyes avoid all hot applications. If all
other remedies fail a teaspoonful OF
powdered alum in pint of water ap-
piled several times daily with usually
have effect in reducing Inflammation OF
the eyes. Rose water has no effect, ex-
cept that thas the advantage of being
distilled.

Hayti does not consider that it has
was not justified by the law and the
facts. It feels, therefore, that the de-
mand of Germany upon it for indemnity
is in the nature of eXtortion, is unjust
and outrageous. But Hayti has no
navy, no forts, no arms to speak OF,
and is at the mercy Of Germany If
some friendly powers do not intercede
in behalf of the little republic.
In her distress, in which she feels that
her honor is at stake, Hayti turns to
the United States, seeking assistance
and counsel. She goes so far as to hold
that if Germany insists upon her de-
mands and Hayti refuses to open her
treasury to meet the exaction, and force
is employed the case will fall within
the Monroe doctrine. and warrant us in
saying to the German power that it
shall not crush the handful of people
in the Caribbean republic.
Here then we have the Monroe doc
trine cropping out again, and in way
that we may be compelled to take no.
tice of We do not think that the
claim Of Hayti that the incident falls
within the Monroe doctrine is sound, as
yet, since Germany has not thus far
shown any disposition to raise upon
Haytien soil the imperial standard and
If such attempt is made. however,
there can be no mistake concerning
the direction the sympathies of the
American people will take. Assuredly
American sentiment will stand by the
islanders. 1t will not at all waver if
Germany attempts to occupy Haytien
territory permanently, or goes an inch
beyond the law permitting one power
to coerce another to yield to a just de-
mand
There are evidences that the German
Emperor is possessed CT a strong de-
sire to make slight pretext the justifi-
cation for getting a foothold in several
parts of the world where he has now
no stations, aside from his determina-
ton TO protect German subjects and
maintain their rights everywhere which
is laudable, and might we'll serve as an
example to our own Government The
simple question for us to consider is,
has Germany in the Haytien affair thus
far stepped beyond the permissible ac-
tion recognized by international law :?
While il is certainly true that her de-
mands upon Hayti are harsh, we do not
think that she has to this date SO
acted as to justify any interposition by
the United States in the Lueders affair.

The professional reformers have
raised such rafting row over the re-
cent lease of the municipal lighting
plant Of Philadelphia that we have been
moved TO inquire what it was all about
Really, We do not discover cause for
so much roaring. The fact seems to be
that Philadelphia has been making her
own illuminating gas for forty or fifty
years at a dead loss of from 100000
TO S150,00O a year. The total cost per
annum has been in the close neighbor-
hood of S3000000 The fact is, also,
that the gas made by the city has been
panies in that and other cities. These
facts cannot be disputed. The present
Municipal Legislature, therefore. con-
ceived the idea of leasing the plant and
run the works y good price was bid
for the lease, and the highest bidder
got il. Thereupon there went up a
loud roaring about fraud, corruption,
aDltlty OF the municipality TO manage

hotly AYERS, the other just as warmly
and vigorously denies. But take what
we know to he the facts, and they are

"A SILLY ARGUMENT.

Fair play is a jewel But fair play
is not to be mentioned in the same
breath with common, every day, hard
sided and glad-handed justice. Those
industrious gentlemen who are carry
ing about the story, that If the Folsom
model road bonds are voted Sacramento
City will repudiate her obligations un-
der them, are dealing with truth in
a shockingly rough manner and ad-
vancing a silly argument. Then they
are assuming that the people are
asses, and do not know what repudia-
ton means.
Let there be no misapprehension. A
city cannot, if it would. repudiate a
debt where the power that levies the
tax upon her to raise the redemption
fund is not party to corruption or
injustice. Now, there is i'll this case no
division of responsibility; the bonds
will represent the promise of Sacra-
mento County to pay, backed by the
assessed value of all property in the
county, regardless of city lines The
Supervisors and the county officers levy
and collect the tax for redemption of
the bonds. The city officials have moth
ing to do with it. 1t is in no sense a
city matter.
But If the county officers themselves
should seek to repudiate, the courts
would compel them to act as in duty
bound There is no possible way, no
any reputation of the obligations to
be assumed. Whoever talks the nom
sense of reputation to voters insults
them by assuming that they are fools
and do not know what repudiation is.

tuberculosis in Canada.

The sudden and startling discovery
has been made that nearly half the
cattle at the Central Experimenting
Farm are infected with tuberculosis.
Four years ago the animals stood the
tuberculin test; but in the interval 9TH
ers have been purchased without the
test being applied. The facts naturally
give rise TO unpleasant reflections.
Canada is believed to be comparatively
free from tuberculosis in cattle but
the trouble is that in every country
you never know when 1t is present in
the absence of the tuberculin test.
When we know. as we do now. that
the disease can proceed unseen and un-
suspected under the eyes of experts, till
nearly half the herd is affected. the
utmost watchfulness is necessary. The
discovery now made emphasizes the ne
cessity that exists for applying the
tuberculin test to all cows from which
milk is supplied to cities. Toronto

The next time a football player is
killed in a game, or as the direct result

1t must be confessed that it would be

seriously. questioned. Men have no
right, even by agreement, to put one
another's lives i'm peril by mutual en-

The State of Oregon is now assured
of the beginning of the industry of
making linen in that State. The mills
to be set up at once Will be small, OF
course, for the capital invested is linn
tied. The linen will be worked of fiber
from Oregon grown flax. The belief of

to expand, and that it will be a profit
able one, too, and may grow to equal
the wool industry of that State. The
experiment in Oregon will be watched

State can grow flax and manufacture
