Of the navy. Few of the enlisted men

This is a sad time for u.s." said the
wife of u famous naval officer a few
days ago. "All we can do is to wait and
Eope. None of the women of the navy
wants war. Its opportunities for pro-

compensate for the terrible suspense

WHY THE EYES TIRE.
1t Is because the MUSCLE of AccOmO-
datiOn Soon Becomes
Weary.

People speak about their eyes being
tired, meaning that the retina or seeing
portion of the eye is fatigued, but such
is not the case, as the retina hardly ever
gets tired, declares the Philadelphia
Ledger. The fatigue is in the iuner and
other muscles attached to the eyeball
and the muscle Of accommodation which
surrounds the lens of thee eye. When a
near object is to be looked at this muscle
relaxes and allows the lens to thicken,
increasing it's refractory power. The
inner and outer muscles are used in cov-
ering the eye on the object to be looked
at, the inner one being especially
used when near object is looked at.
1t is in the three muscles mentioned
that the fatigue is felt and relief is
secured temporarily by closing the eyes
or gazing at far-distant objects.
The usual indication of strain is red
ness of the rim of the eyelid, betoken-
ing congested state of the inner sur
face, accompanied by some pain. Some
times this weariness indicates the need
of glasses rightly adapted to the per-
son and in other cases the true remedy
is to massage the eye and it's surround.

The New Mexico society of pioneers
have announced that three hundred
years ago the first permanent settle
ruent was made in New Mexico, it be-
ing at Yreuque, called by the Span
iards San Gabriel, at the junction OF
the Rio Grande and the Chama, near
present station of Chamits, opposite
the pueblo of San Juan, and the day OF
the original establishment of the Span
iards under Onste at that point was
July IL, 1898. The pioneers intend to
have g celebration at that point, the
18th of next July, and they recommend
that the residents of San Antonio and
SocorrO cele b ate on the fret of June,
as on the fret of June, 1898, the Span
iards first arrived at those towns. II
the pioneers would only set date for a
celebration in Cuba, the date to be the
time when the Speniards quit arriving
here, the Cubans would be very glad
to celebrate it.-LOr6 sburg Liberal.

Mark Twain ON Press Censorship.

To this same end-it cOOls off the
newspapers every morning at o'clock
| whenever warm events are happening.
There is censor of the press, and ap-
parently he is always on duty and hard
| at work. A copy of each morning pa
per is brought to him at O'Clock. His
official wagons wait at the doors of the
newspaper offices and send to him the
first copies that come from the press.
His company of assistants read every
line in tn ese papers and mark every
thing which seems to have a danger
GUS look, then he passes final Judgment
upon these markings. Two things
conspire to give to the results capri
ciOus and unbalanced look; his assis-
tants have diversified notions as to
what is dangerous ard what isn't; he
can't get time to examine their criti-
cismS in much detail; and so sometimes
the very same matter which is suppress
sed in one paper fails to be damned in
another one: and gets published in full
feather and unmodi6ed. Then the pa
per in which it is suppressed blandly
copies the forbidden matter into it's
evening edition, prOvokingly giving
credit and detailing all the circum-
stances in courteous and irof1ensive
languaRe-apd OF course, the censor
cannot say q word.
Sometimes the censor sucks all the
blood out of q newspaper aud leaves it
colOrless aDd insne; sometimes he
leaves it undisturbed, and lets it talk
out its opinions with a frankness and
vigOr hardly to be surpassed, 1 think,
in the journals of any country. APP
parently the censor sometimes revises
his verdicts upon second thought, for
several times lately he has suppressed
journals after their issue and partial
distribution. The distributed copies
are then sent for by the censor and
destroyed. I have two of these, but at
the time they were sent for could not
remember what had done with them.
