Wells and the Eyesirht.

DR. Casey A Wood Boston Medical
and Surgical Journal writes as follows.
The fact that the wearing Of wells Is
productive Of weak cycsight headaches
and sometimes vertigo and nausea, is
within the experience Of every opthal-
mologist Not only arc these effects
produced by the eye strain consequent
upon the added efforts made by one or
both eyes 60 see through or around an

the veil itself IS, in some instances, d
source of annoyance TO the wearcr AS
in other cases OF abuse, the burden rests
heaviest upon the weakest eyes, and pro-
badly the reason why one encounters
so comparatively foW instances of asthe-
nopia directly due to veil wearing is
that the embarrassed eyes ars able to

that como what might he would be

Martin the chance Of killing the

So the little Frenchman plowed |
his way along, taking short cut

suddenly that all the tracks leading

of the ravine farthest from the

on his way home, but Martin, en-
tering the rayine from the other
end, would see nothing to raise his
suspicious till he reached the cave,
The bear would have scented him
long before, and the terrible fear
which crossed Coppee's mind was
that Martin would be attacked I'M
wares. Such an unequal contest
could have but one result.
Coppee forgot all about his own
desire to kill the bear; his one hope
now was that Martin might have
succeeded in doing SO. Never had
he run so fast in his life. Hopclt-
ed over the snow, choosing, where
possible, the ground sheltered from
the drift.

vine was reached. lie loapcd from
rock to rock with more agility than
prudence. One more turn, and he
would be in sight Of the cave.

a terrible cry reached his ears lie
ran forward to see his worst fears
realized. An enormous bear had
rushed on Martin. who had not

marked that some of her friends have occa-

years, to cap the climax of rebuke, which
she did not long since thus: my dear
