CARE OF WEAK EYES.
Simple Remedies for GranulatiOn,
Stycs, Catarrh and other
Affections.

The strength of the eyes usually de-
pends upon the strength of the body;
if the body is weak and exhausted, the
eyes will frequently display similar
tendencies. In treating the eyes the
general health must be considered, but
when the general health is good, and the
eyes are simply weak, the first care
must be to see that they are not over
taxed; then they should be bathed in
salt water, fairly strong. Regularly
used several times day salt water
bath will wonderfully strengthen the
muscles of the eyes. 1t acts as tonic
not only on the eye itself, but on the
eyelids as well, and the action of warm
salt water on lids prone to granuiation,
or to styes, is most marked and i'm
mediate.
The salt water may first be applied
with soft sponge; later, when the
eyes are accustomed to the bath, they
should be held open in a basin of the
water for few seconds at time.
Obstinate cases of catarrh of the eyes,
a frequent cause of eye weakness, ow-
ing to the tear-duct being blocked by
the inhamed condition Of the blood yes
sells which line the membrane of the
nose, and prevent the eye-waters find
ing their natural channels, yield to
this salt water treatment, and the
bath braces and tones the muscles.
People with weak eyes should have
their rooms well darkened at night be-
fore retiring, thus giving the optic
nerves all possible rest; sleeping in
light rooms is sometimes the sole cause
of weak eyes. Another necessity, If
weak eyes are to be made strong. is
never to read, sew or write with the
light full in the face; the light should
always come from over the shoulder
or from the side.
Whether the eyes are weak or strong,
one should never strain them by az
tempting to read or TO do other work
in reclining position. = American
Queen.

CHARACTER IN ONES VOICE
According to This Authority 1t Is as
Perceptible as the Words
You Speak.

Unless the voice sounds cordiality,
words are powerless; unless the voice
attests self-confidence, prOtestations
do not convince; unless the voice
speaks sincerity, the apology is use
less. 1t is necessary that we should
control the voice to a reflection of
that phase of mind and mood which
we desire to present. When we would
convince people of our efficiency we
must not permit a weak-kneed voice
to stagger under the words. When
our hearts 90 out in warmth and atfecs
ton it cannot get far in brass-lined,
iron bound voice. Cancellation is vain
when the voice rings defiance.
Imagine yourself at a telephone
when the instrument whirrs and
wheezes. The most impassioned APP
peal to John to come home TO dinner
and meet Cousin Mary is likely to
prove Intellectual. A message to that
brute of a dressmaker-man' who
wants his money may be divided into
the receiver with all dignity of tone
and choice of word, but the wObbled
reproduction at the other end does
not go. You may use all your words
when you are talking through the
possessed wire to the business man
ager, but if the possessed wire is IN
a creaky fit the business manager
does not get the right idea at all.
The truth is that most of us are
always talking through a telephone.
The honest will, the courteous intent,
the high heart of courage, speaks clear
and sweet and strong, but the muffied,
wheezy, crealy, thin, unnatural col
orless result at our lips misrepresents
us. and John doesn't, the dressmaker-
man insists. and the business man
ager gives the other fellow the job.
What can we do about it? The diff
ficulty is almost always first voice
habit-a color the voice has taken on
from some prevailing tint in our life
This is so with almost everyone. This
stain of the natural voice color is not
voice individuality; it is a modifying
The Chicago world., 1900-01-27

of voice individuality, an obscuring of
it. 1t is habit-not characteristic.
1t must be gotten rid of.
Only just what you want must 90
into your voice. Think of that lit
tie. When you call to the child who
stands on the edge of a fall shall
your panic go into your voice, or just
the reassuring note of gentle author
ity that you know will bring the child
to you, instead of starting shim over
the dreadful edge? When you inter
view the insubordinate cook, shall
your sense that she very well deserved
to be thrown out of your back door
and her trunk on top of her prevail in
your voice, or your earnest desire to
keep her in hand till after the i'm
pending dinner? When you face lust
the personality in your world who
holds at the minute your fortunes in
his gift, shall your sick sense that he
does not know and may not believe
in your fitness for what you are go
ing to ask, color your voice, or shall
your firm belief that you can fill the
place characterize it? That is the
whole question. Shall your voice vi
brate to such a quality of your mood
as you choose, or shall it be at the
mercy of Just what will do you inius-
tice in the mind of those who hear?-

US. They have placed obstacles in our
paths for few years, but no man can
find way to stop the progress of the
race-the growth of manhood in the
Negro race. My friends, these tenn
porary obstacles will last but for
day, and if we keep ourselves pure and
honorable as race, we will come in in
due time for all that is right.
You might as well attempt TO stop
the course of the Mississippi river as
the progress of race that is getting ed

A representative CROWD
The Knight Templar Charity Ball
Largely Attended by the Best
Colored People.
MEDINA TEMPLE USED THE FIRST TIME,
The Best COIOred People In Chicago
Dance for Sweet Charity Over
Two Thousand People Attend-Ar-
mnnt's Full Orchestra Furnishes
the Music-NOtes of interest

Last Monday night Medinah Temple
was initiated by a representative gath
ering of Chicago colored people. We
say initiated, and it was, for this is the
first time this high-class amusement
hall has been rented to cOlored people,
and it is gratifying to know that the
management of the hall was able to
prove that Chicago had at least 1000
well-behaved and dignitied colored peo-
pie.
Promptly at seven o'clock the doors
of the Temple were opened and col
ored people from all over the city began
to gather, and by nine o'clock there was
hardly standing room. The Knight
Templars, representing several differ
ent lodges, attended in a body. but ow-
ing to the immense crowd could not
drill, as was intended.
The splendid department and perfect
order of such a large gathering has
never been equaled by any class of peo
pie before. Not once was it necessary
to quelr even the slightest disturbance.
1t was a representative crowd of about
1000 colored people, and the people
will hereafter know when St. George
and Godfrey communicates entertain
it will be of the highest order.
The grand march was led by Mr.. II.
f. Moore and wife, and among those
noticed was Maj. II. II. Jackson and
wife, Mr.. and Mrs. Capt. Hunt, Mr.. and
Mrs. Col. Ben. johnson.
The committee of arrangements was
composed of the following well-known
gentIemen:
j. B. Foster, chairman; w. H, Smith,
secretary; f. Totten, r. Mason, T. H.
Alexander, w. b. Kennedy, L. H. Curl,
II. j. b. Ellington. \. Horn, \. Christian,

work
Somebody wanted to know why the
gallant knight O. whiskers' did not

The North and West side people were
said to be better looking. better dressed
and had more money than the South

OTHER PEOPLES PREJUDICEs.
Little Things That Should BE Re-
garded by Those who Deal
in Expectations.

A gentleman who has travelled much
and has a very large interest in Amer
lean export trade said in conversation
the other day that the principal draw
back to a wider extension of American
commerce in certain parts of the world
is that manufacturers in the United
States do not sufficiently study the
wants, the customs and the tastes of
their prospective customers. For eX-
ample" he said, "a certain American
firm sent some electrical goods which
were decorated in green to Japan. They
did not sell any. No japanese would
bring such things into his house; it
would mean an invitation to the evil
deities. Green is an evil color in Ja-
pan. What a japanese wants is red
things. Upon this simple matter of
color rested the failure of that manu-
facturer to succeed in export trade"
A German employer of labor said:
81 like American machines so far as
their performance of their work is con-
cerned, but they demoralize my men.
They come here in sober colors of paint
and with no bright parts. The men
who tend the machines do not have any
brass to keep clean or any surfaces to
rub, and they get lazy The German
workman needs TO be kept busy with
things of this sort"
Here, now. are some practical in
stances of what the American manu-
facturer must learn before he can at
tain the widest success in the new field
of foreign trade. Do not send to Ger
many catalogues in the English Ian
guage. or to Japan things decorated in
green, or to the Isthmus of Panama
anything with blue spots on it. 1t looks
as if we need in this country com
mercial kindergarten in which such in
formation as the above may be taught
for those of a curious and inquiring
mind for their everlasting benefit ard

THE CUBAN ENGINEER CORPS.
Red Lemonade 1t Came from and to
Red Lemonade 1t Had
to Return.

Il noticed in the papers the other
day." said an cX-volunteer soldier, ''that
an old street corner telescope man had
got into a comical row with lot of
newsboys. The item was of no special
Importance, but it recalled a singular
character | met when L was with the
army down in Cuba. He was known as
Col. Todd, chief of the Cuban engineer
corps and, although he was engaged
in selling red lemonade on the plaza in
Havana when | first encountered him,
the title was bona fide. Possibly you
remember the once famous Florida eX-
petition that sailed from Tampa with
men and supplies for the insurgents
shortly before we declared war. Well,
the junta agent who had the affair in
charge was especially anxious to secure
a corps of engineers, but he was unable
to find anybody in that line who was
willing to go. The night before the ex-
petition sailed he happened to notice
a telescope man on street corner sell
ing peeps at the moon for five cents a
squint.' Business seemed to be dull,
and the agent had an inspiration. Here
was an astronomer in hard luck. An
astronomer was necessarily something
of mathematician, and a mathemati-
clan was, or ought to be, more or less
of an engineer. By that process of rea-
sOning he arrived at the conclusion that
the telescope man was exactly the per-
son to fit the job of chief engineer of the
army of Cuba. In two minutes he had
made his proposition and it was accept
ed on the spot. The telescope mans
name was Todd, and the agent immedi-
ately brevetted him colonel and chief
of corps. AT first he was little nervous
and said he was afraid the engineers in
the corps would kick about being un-
der his command. Rest easy, colonel,
said the agent, blandly; you are the
corps That settled it, and he went
over, his uniform consisting of a cap he
got from trolley car conductor. After
that, when the war correspondents re-
ferred 10 'the newly organized engineer
corps of the patriotic army they were
really referring to Col. Todd. Shameful
to relate, no provision was made for him
at the conclusion of hostilities, and he
was obliged to fall back on red lemon
ade Maybe ere now he has purchased
another telescope."-N. o. Times-Dem-
