That is what most people dread
about glasses. They do not want to
wear them constantly. If it were
only for reading, sewing or writing
they wouldn't care SO much In four
cases out of five the people who
have to wear glasses constantly, ere
those who put off wearing them just
as long as they possibly can. When
the eyes first complain it is only fora
little help at near work. If you go en-
forcing them to do more than they
canbear, the result must be perma-
nent weakness. If your eyes give
you the slightest trouble, give them
attention at once. If the type blurs
when you read in the evening, if
your eyes burn or pain, if you have
a dull, heavy pain around your
eyes, if you are subject to headache,
your eyes are asking for aid.
A little attention now will be
worth more than great deal OF at
tention later on.

ALMOST A NUPTIAL TRAGEDY.
Bridal Veil of Russian Ambassadors Daughter Catches Fire at the We'd ding Altar.

Bridal Veil of Russian Ambassadors s
 Daughter Catches Fire at the We'd
 ding Altar.
 London, April 3o.-During the mar riage of the daughter of the Russian ambassador here, M. G. de Staal. to Count Alexis Davidoff, in the Russian chapel, London this afternoon, at which the Prince of Wales, Lord Rosebery and most of the members of the United States and other embassies were pres ent, the brides veil caught fire from candle which she carried in her hand.
 The bridegroom's presence of mind averted tragedy, as the flame was hardly visible before the count seized the veil and quenched the incipient blaze by crumpling the gauzy fabric be- tween his hands.
 There was intense excitement until it was found that no serious damage had been done.
 The interruption was only momenta- ry. The bride behaved with great pres ence of mind, and apart from slight singeing of her hair she escaped injury, quickly rearranged her veil, and the ceremony proceeded.
 The Prince of Wales afterward was among the first to congratulate the cou- pie on the brides fortunate escape.
