Near Sight.

There is no defect of the eye capa-
Bile OF more harmful results than
myopia, or nearsight. Other de-
fects will cause pain, headaches and
eye strain. but nearsight is a dan
gerous condition. The ''malig-
nant'' type is one of the worst
evils that can befall tho eyes of
any person. From constant effort
to see as others see the eyeball
takes on a malignant growth. The
eyes gradually become larger in
size causing ruptures and hem
orrhages, finally breaking down
their entire structure. Total blind
ness is often the result. Glasses
used in time will prevent ii. Moth
ing in the world will cure it after
the growth once begins. II you
are near-sighted even in a slight
degree, wear glasses. Get glasses
that fit you perfectly and wear
them constantly. Not just for
reading and sewing. not just for
walking, but all the time. For
your own good you cannot afford
to be without them single mo-
mont.

publish any of the dozen letters We

so badly garbled and distorted in the

was at a loss to see why that estimable
gentleman was not locked up as a dan

that Chase's law hree king tactics were
the acts of a broad minded philanthrO-

THE FUNCTION OF LANGUAGE

a small per cent of the students who

portanL feature Of their educationsl
lie; they ACCEPT the study of the
classics as matter Of faef, juslis they
accept other customs ana conditions
INTO which th5y are born.
Ii Is well Known fact, continued the
ess ayisE, tnat the Latin language never
ceased 10 be used even after the fail OF
the Roman c!vlliz alton, but from .hat
time on thro' the middle ages, il con-
stIluted The language OF the church,
was the medium Of all international
intercourse, ana the instrument OF all
higher thought Ii became the Isngu-
age of the diplomat and of the scholar
4 uestIses on theology, law, science,
criticism, and phi osophy we're written
IN the language OF Cicero and L.yy,
More than that it was THO the Latin
and Its Literature that the scholars OF
the llme were Introduced into the life
and thought Of the ancient world. Ii
Is not strange, then, that the Latin,
touching the scholar, as it did, in so
many points of nls investigation, shsuld
have become national aud necessary
part OF The hig her learning in the be
ginning o, modern CIVILIZATION.
After discussing the iattersdav OBJ
leciiOns 20 the Illusions of the dead
languages" In college courses, he an
allied the usual arguments offered in
defense OF the classsics-that Greek and
Latin both ln form and expression are
the most finished languages known TO
the philo ogtst and, therefore, afford
discipline for the mind and training ia
exact expression. We are told, also,
said he, that the classics because Of
their beauty Of thought and expression
have most cultural effect upon the
mind. SIN another argument, and
one wbicn q has been urged with great
effect, is that, for the express on of els-
CANT thought and lofty sentiment, IN
English language depends almost tn
tireIy upon the Greek and Lain.
No one who lays the slightest claim
to dlsceTnment will hold tnst the class.
Icai languages as mere linguistic &C
qUisitIOn apart from he study OF their
spirit and meaningin in civilization would
be of any great pedagogical vaiu; but
the value OF tue study OF the ancient
languages Tests in investigating and as
simIIatlng, through the MEDIUM of
these languages, the spirit, government.

Of the nations who spoke them. Civ
liza ion Is not spontaneous, but q
continuous growth; as we look back
over its history, 1t IS clear that any par.
ticuiar stage OF civilization represents
the accumulation OF successive stages
