The Eyes EIind Spot.

The blind spot in the eye is where
the optic nerve comes through the reti-
ma about one-tenth of an inch nearer
the nose than the center. To test it
close your fists with your thumbs out
side and held against each other. Ex-
tend your arms. Shut your left eye
and look fixedly with your right eye at
your left thumb. Separate your hands,
and when they are about six inches
apart the right thumb will go out of
business temporarily, for it's picture
will fall upon the blind spot. Now,
here's the curious part of it: Though
men have tried all sorts of experiments
on themselves for unknown thousands
Of years, this phenomenon was not dis
covered until the time of Charles II. of
England. The blind spot leaves no
hole in the picture Of the outside world,
but, there being no stimulation on that
spot, there is not consciousness of a
lack, but a lack of consciousness

"Why, dear?" he asked. Don't you

a solemn tone, wilt thou have this
man to be thy welded husband?" in

COL DIS
We Have Many Friends Here in Town
Who Are Subject to Such Trouble.

Colds if neglected lead to serious and
often fatal consequences.
Do not 60 on living with the continual
dread of catching cold. There is NO need
of it. People who take cold easily dc SO
because their system is in just the con-
dition to contract them.
We know of something that will
quickly drive colds out of the system by
invigorating the entire body. 1t is VI
MOL, the great tonic reconstructor, that
contains all the active curative principles
found in cod liver oil.
Here is one letter that we nave had
presented to us that we would like our
friends to read:
~ have been suffering from a severe
cold for number of weeks, and having
heard so much about VINOL as being
cure for such troubles, decided to try
it. Two bottles entirely cured me and /
now feel In better health than ever be-
fore in my life. J, M. BROWN, 319 W.
Mahanoy ST., Mahanoy City, Penn
Remember that if you do not find that
VINOL is all that we claim for it we are
always glad to refund to our customers
the money that they pay us for it, which
emphatically endorses Vinol.

Odd Club Names.

There are a number of societies in
the world that bear strange names,
was club founded in 1885 by an Eng
lish actor. 1t was called the Sublime
Society Of Beefsteaks and had among
it's members the Prince of Wales and
other royal personages. They met in
den theater and dined upon beefsteaks.
The club was in existence for more
than a hundred years and became
quite noted because of it's odd GUS
toms. Another strange name was that
of the Scriblerus club, which Swift
founded in 1714 and to which Pope.
Gay and other literary men belonged.
