ADDITIONAL SOCIETY.

Below is printed the programme of the
benefit concert for Nicolo Thomas, the
alente child ViOlinist. lit DIS proposed
to undertake the education of this little
genius and in future years Butte may
be proud to claim her. She will make her
last public appearance in Butte at this
concert, and those who have not been
fortunate enough to hear her should not
fail to avail themselves of this opportu-
nifty. She is certainly a prodigy, and has
been playing in public since she was 5
years old. She has now reached the age
when a master is required. and with the
proceeds of this concert Nicolo will be
sent east, where her great talent will be
fostered to the fullest extent. The club
women are working hard to make the
concert a success. The best musical tai
ent of Butte will join in the programme.
Let all the people of Butte unite in maxi
ing the benefit a success and assuring a
future to this little girl of SO much
promise.

I am not booming the town of PONY.
tn Madison county, said a Rutte man
today, but l just cleaned up a little
money on an investment there, which
makes me feel particularly good. Some
years ago l bought several lots in PONY
at 40 each and have since held on to
them. A few days ago I sold one of the
lots for $500 and yesterday | sold an
either for $500. The recent discoveries of
rich bodies Of gold ore in the camp is

Some Interesting Facts
Written for this paper by Dr.. Vim. E. Dodd, the
Eye Specialist Of 48 West Park St.

More than ninety per cent of the
headaches can be cured through the
medium of the eyes, either by COR
recting the refraction or the hetera-
phoria muscular trouble Or both.
A great many find temporary relief
by having the %refraction partially
corrected by consulting some mex
perienced person. The average So
called optician knows nothing or
the anatomy of the eye, therefore
could not be expected to diagnose
properly or locate any muscular
error or weakness. 1t has also been
found that a very large percentage
OF disease, like neuralgia,
chronic headache, dyspepsia, consti-
patton, chorea, epilepsy, insanity,
ETC., are due to eye strain, and can
be cured by giving the patient prop-
er correction. Some one will ask:
"How is it that the eyes ere respon-
sible for so many nervous all
ments?' To which we will reply that
the eyes are the most sensitive Or
gan, the most overtaxed, the most
constantly in use from ia to IS
hours per day." and the most COM
plicated. Everyone Of US know that
no two parts Of our body are alike,
one hand is larger than the other,
etc. Each eye has six muscles, that
is IL for both eyes, which nature
gave us to move the eye ball in diff
ferent directions.

We also have the muscles Of ac-
commodation and the crystalline
lens. So we have In the eyes 16
anatomical parts that must be
without defect. This naturally
leads us to believe that a perfect
eye Is an exception. We must e
member that every impression that
Is received by the eye costs a GER
tain amount Of nerve force. Now, il
we think Of the thousands Of im-
pressions received by the eye in a
single day, we may have an idea
pf the amount of nerve force which
Is expended by the eyes. To lift a
pencil n does not require a great
deal of nerve force, but no living
man can lift a pencil a million
times each day. Add to this the
different anatomical defects which
the eyes are liable to have: suppose
an eye has a tendency to turn out
-exaphoria-the internal muscles
Which antagonize the external
muscles, has to receive an extra
amount of nerve force in. order to
overcome the tendency out of the
visual axis; it is easy to see how
exhaustive the process must be,
and remember the physiological
act thai any xcess of ex-
penditure to one organ over the
nominal amount which should be
furnished is done at the expense of
the other Soone or later.
