ELECTRIC LIGHT BLINDNESS.
A Painful Addiction Produced by In
tense DriIiinncy.

There is n peculiar form of eye
trouble caused by exposure of the UNI
protected eyes to an intense electric
light-especially that produced during
the fusion of metal by electricity
which has received the name of "elec-
tric-light blindness"
The trouble begins usually with
feeling of slight pricking and irritation
rs If there were fine cinders in the eyes,
and this is followed by persistent over
flow of tears, and mistiness of the
sight as If the sufferer were in a fog,
The pain, in all but very slight attacks,
increases rapidly and there follows an
agonizing aching of the eyeballs, in
tolerance of light, and often most dis
tressng spasm of the eyelids. The
sight sometimes grows so dim that the
patient is nearly blind.
If this accident happens to one who
is not regularly employed in electric
smelling or drilling, but has merely
stopped to look on at tie work, the
trouble is likely to be thought much
more serious than it really is, for the
true cause is apt to be overlooked, the
intense brillancy of the light having
been masked more or less by the day
light.
The condition is very similar in its
symptoms to that known as "snow
blindness" from which hunters in the
far north and mountain-climbers often
suffer, and it is probably an identical
affection, namely, a sunburn-in this
case an electric burn-of the conjunc-
tiva. Firemen frequently suffer In
much the same way after working for
several hours to subdue fierce confa-
grafton.
Men who are employed in electric
smelling or drilling works always pro-
tect their eyes by dark glasses, and
the Eskimos do the same by goggles
of wood with a narrow slit in the CEN
ter.
The distress during an attack may be
relieved by installations Of cocaine I'M
der the direction of physician, al
though this drug should not be used
when repeated attacks occur, as in the
case of firemen, for fear of creating a
habit. After the acute inflammation
has subsidized simple eye-wash of cam
phor water containing a little borax
in solution will usually suffice for &
cure.-Youth's Companion.

WOMAN AND HOME.
FIRST WOMAN'S CLUB.
II Wns Founded In Philadelphia over
n Cantury Arm

Century Ago.
The first womnn's club founded in !
America, or at least the first about
which we have authentic information,
was held in the city of Penn 102 years |
ago, under the name of The Female
Society for the Relief and Improvement
of the Poor" 1t was begun and organ
lied by Quaker spinster, Anne Parish,
who was born in l7G0 and died jus, he
fore the nineteenth century began, at
the end of the year 1900. The society
consisted first of % young, accom-
plished women of the best families, who
met every week to go about among the
poor and needy, When the city was
visited by yellow fever, shortly after
the formation of the club, the mettle
of its members was tried and found to
ring true; while most who had the
means fed from the town, these 20
Quaker women stayed with Anne Par
ish and fought the plague, raising
money visiting the dying, clothing the
we'll and comforting the bereaved.
From that time to the present the So
ciety has endured and continued in the
work thus early initiated; the grand
daughters and great-grandduughters
of the first founders, who have inherited
the club membership along with their
Quaker traditions, their fine old family
names that still count in Philadelphia
society, are now preparing to celebrate
the clubs one hundred and second
birthday. The membership is passed
down through the eldest daughter, and
the methods are not altered from those
first chosen; there is no president nor
vice president, the only officers being
two clerks, treasurer and n commit
tee Of 10; The prominent work of the
club is the maintenance of "house
of industry" where nearly 100 old
Quaker women of INDECENT circum-
stances go daily to sew, knit and mend
IN comfortable quarters in the house on
| North Seventh street, which the club
has lodged in since the middle OF this
century. The women are paid good
wages for their work and are given a
good meal in the middle of the day, be-
sides being provided with easy-chairs
while they work. The society women
provide them with sewing and bachelors
send thther for their mending.-Phil-

ESKIMO BOWS AND ARROWS.
Ingenious Contriyanccs for Securing
Game and Fish.

As everyone knows, the Eskimos,
with few exceptions, inhabit a region
which is perfectly treeless, or at any
rate where nothing grows but pines and
spruces, whose soft, inelastic wood is
entirely useless for making bows. They
have overcome this difficulty very effect.
lively by fastening along the back OF
the bow twisted cords of reindeer sinew
in such way that each cord is stretched
when the bow Is bent and flies back
when the bowstring is released. AS far
as we know, no other race of savages
make use of this ingenious contrivance
Some tribes of Indians are in the habit
of stiffening their bows by "backing"
them with strips of sinew, glued on,
but the Eskimo backing is made of
cords and tied on AS old Martin Frob-
Usher, the first Englishman who ever
saw the Eskimos lin 1870, tells us.
Their bowes are of wood of yard
long, showed on the back with strong
slnewes, not glued too, but fast girded
and tyed on"
In some regions the Eskimos when
first visited by white men were still
using bows with a very simple backing,
merely 90 or 30 strands of Irvine run
ming from one end of the bow to the
other, twisted together tightly from
the middle, and tied down TO the bow
In two or three places. My friends at
Point Barrow and along the adjacent
coast, however, had gone on improv-
ing the bow until it was the best made
by Eskimos anywhere.-John Murdoch,
in Appletons' Popular Science Monthly.

the liavors that are Characteristic of the

leaves, crushed and fermented, he OBJ
tains a liquid possessing the fragrance

How Alum Affects Plants,

Herr NJ. Molsch has found by ex.
pertinent that alum in the soil invaria.
bly, changes the naturally pink colcr
of the flowers of Hydrangea hortensis to
blue. The efficient constituent in che
alum is the aluminium sulphate. Fer
ric sulphate produces similar results.
Other salts of iron are generally mega
tive. The cause of the natural pink col
or in the flowers is anthocyan. This,
chemically combined with the salts in
question, produces blue flower. The
stamens are most sensitive to change In

Animals Fright Is short.
