Charlotte Bronte Not FIattered.

An interesting anecdote Of Charlotte
Bronte Is recalled by Mrs. Humphry
Ward in her biographical Introduction
to "Vilette." In 1851 the authoress,
having refused repeated invitations to
London, on the ground that having
done no work she deserved no treat,
finally consented to pay a short visit
to the family of her friend and pub
Usher, Mr.. George Smith.
Thackeray was at this time at the
height of his popularity In London, and
Miss Brontc arrived in time to hear
his second lecture on the English hui
morists.
When 1t was over, Thackeray, who
had recognized the timid little woman
sitting by Mrs. Smith, came down
from the platform, and, shaking hands
with Miss Bronte, asked her how she
liked it. There are few persons who
would not have been flattered by such
an attention, but Miss Bronte, on the
contrary, was almost offended by 1t,
and when she introduces n similar in
cident in "Vilette" she comments on
the restlcssness and the lack of de-
sirable self control on the part of the
lecturer.

Several years ago Colonel Jack CHM

n negro valet, Sam. This negro had
been n slave In the Chinn family be-
fore the war began in the states and

the colonel, "some of these Houston
coons will take that gun away from
you and break It over your head!"
The darby Strengthened up. Like his
master, he was a man of unquestioned
nerve, and there was n peculiar glitter
in his eye as he said:
"Massa Jack, you let me hab dat gun,
an If i don't show up heah wild hit in

1t will be seen III reference to all of
the illustrations used thus far in these
"Talks" that the rays are parallel to
each other as they strike the eye. This
is because all rays from objects at n dis
lance of twenty feet or more are prac-
tically parallel when they enter the
small aperture known as the pupil, but
If they emanate from some point near
by they are perceptibly divergent, and
of course would require n more power
full lens system to bring them to a focus
ut the same distance beyond the lens
that the parallel rays are focused.
In the cases described in Talks" No.
2 and 3, the eyes being adapted for dis.
tant objects, the first without and the
second by exercising the power of ac-
commodation, must both use the power
on the divergent rays from near objects
or else use lenses. In the case of the
myopic, however, there is an excess of
power III his lens system, hence there
is a certain point within comparatively
u few inches of his face where objects
may be placed and the divergent rays
will then be returned to a focus at the
retina. If the object be brought nearer
than this point he, too, will have to use
his mechanism of accommodation, and
objects placed further away than that
point are never seen clearly because
they are out Of his range. This effect is
commonly known as 'near- sightedness."
Persons so affected are usually free from
headaches and the other ills induced by
hyperopia because of the absence of the
demand for nerve force.
But it is sometimes a matter of grave
concern when it developes in children,
and if not cared for properly may in.
crease in amount by reason of a swell.
of the vitreous humor, which fills the
main cavity, and destroys vision. This
is not told to scare anyone, but because
it is a simple fact that all should know
in time to prevents the possibility of ir.
reparable damage and almost if not total
blindness:

Ignorance excuses no one" is an
axiom Of the law and IL has its origin i'm
the fact that violations Of natures laws
are invariably punished by the effects
which follow.
Few know the capacity of defective
eyes TO disturb the equilibrium Of the
nervous system, and 1t is the purpose OF
these "eye talks to give information in
n simple, practical manner, in the hole
that gener raj good may come of it.
1he eyes are at once delicate and
tough delicate because of the function
they perform tough al to structure (;
delicate as to the attention they require (;
tough MS to the endurance they exhibit
under the NAL treatment they receive
from both their possessors and those
who claim to be competent eye doctors.
First let II be understood that only in
the rarest cases are drugs needed for
eye troubles and If administered when
not needed they do harm.
Second, 1t should be known that of
forty.three pairs of nerves, supplying the
entire body four and one.tbird pairs go
to the eyes, thus giving them one tenth
of all the capacity to make trouble or
conduce to comfort.
Third, good vision is absolutely no
proof that eyes are good. Many readers
of this article a see perfectly, but they
suffer from nervous ills of one kind or
another and never think their eyes are
the canse of it all yet they are, and il
you will follow these papers the fact
will be placed before you so certainly
that you will be interested even if you
are not one Of the afflicted.
