SHOULD BE CAREFUL OFTHE
BABY'S EYES.

"People spend great deal of valu-
able time watching why it is so many
children are forced to wear spectacles,' u
said a prominent physician recently,
"and in nine cases out of ten hard
study is given as the reason for the
many diseases of the eye to which
children are subject. Now, the aver
age child does not study to such an
extent that would injure the eyes or
impair the sight, but for the cause of
the trouble l would 60 back to the
time before the school days, to the time
when the child was in its infancy.
"More diseases of the eye may be
traced to neglect, carelessness or igno-
rance on the part of persons having
young children in charge that most
people have any idea of, and the worst
thing about the matter is that it is
almost impossible to impress people
with a right estimate Of the harm
which they may do.
"Take, for instance, the habit many
persons have of laying young baby
in carriage with no shade nor cover
ing over it. Perhaps the sun may not
be shining, and if this is the case the
ignorant caretaker thinks that no
harm can be done. But this idea is
erroneous, for often the light on a
cloudy day is as injurious to the sight
as the full glare of the sun. If an
adult tries to look at the sky upon one
of these cloudy days he will very soon
find that the light causes the muscles
of the eye to contract, and if the per-
formance is continued for any length
of time headache will be the result.
How much more trying this is to the
delicate sight of little baby can only
be estimated, but it is certain that a
large amount of harm is done by this
practice. Yet it is almost impossible
to 60 into any of our streets where
babies are taking their outings in car
riages without seeing dozens of the
tiny tots lying facing the sky, the
muscles of the eyes contracted and
blinking continuously at the strong
light which nature tells them is harm
full. If mothers would only realize
that child's sight is most delicate
thing and exercise a little common
sense, am sure that the opticians
business would not be in such flour
ishing condition"

AN ARTFUL PASSENGER.

At one of our holiday resorts during
the season coach used to run daily
between the town and some ruins q
few miles out, stopping at an inn for
dinner. The landlord of the inn used
to make tidy sum (Which he shared
with the coachman) by doing the pas
sengers out of their meal. A good re.
past was provided, but the passengers
were hardly allowed to be seated be-
fore the signal was given to start.
One day, after the coach had de-
parted, the landlord discovered a trav.
eler still enjoying hearty meal. He
grew uneasy as be saw the eatables
disappearing under his very eyes, but
far more so when he noticed that all
the silver spoons and forks were miss
ing.
On the traveller describing a suspi
cious-looking character among the pas
sengers a bicy clist was hastily dis
patched to bring back the coach. On
its arrival out walked the accuser
who, instead of helping to identify the
thief, took his seat on the coach, and
addressing the furious landlord, coolly
remarked:
"Thanks for my good feed. You'll
find them spoons and forks in the
coffee-pot. Right away, driver"

This is the time Of year when the
woman who lives in the country few
miles out from town draws breath of
relief, for school begins next week, and
that means that the Sunday invasion
of her domain will cease. 1t may not
cease entirely, but, at least, the hosts
will not come in such numbers as they
have all summer.
The life of the country housekeeper
who has city relatives is not an unal-
loyed JOY in the good old summer time.
Why is it that the dwellers in flats,
where there isn't room for an extra
lemon, always imagine that supplies
are as plentiful on a farm as they are
in the largest wholesale grocery store
in the land?
If there breathes a mother of a fam
lily Zone of Mr.. Roosevelt's noble moth
ers, too) with soul so dead that she
will not take her brood and descend
Unexpectedly upon a remote country
relative in time for dinner on a hot
Sunday, then she should be in mu-
scum.
"Let's go out and take dinner with
Grace" some member of the family
suggests, and forthwith the whole tribe
hastens to the station, and an honr
and half later Grace spies them strag
Cling up the dusty, sunny road to her
domicile. Then, if she is woman Of
character, she locks the doors and goes
up in the attic and pretends that she
is dead when they knock, bat if she is
weakly hospitable she goes out and
greets them With effusion and wonders
where, in the name of common sense,
she is going to find enough to feed
them at that hour, for it lacks only 35
minutes to dinner-time.
The guests enjoy themselves in the
time that elapses before the midday
meal is served. They go out on the
lawn and sit under the trees.
Some of them wander up to the Or
chard to look for ripe pears. And all
of the while the poor hostess is skurry-
ing out to the garden to fetch more
beans and corn while the cook kills
and picks chickens. Dinner is two
hours late, but it is very good when it
finally is announced, and none of the
city folks notice that the country wo-
man is hot and tired and nearly in
Mysteries lest the desert give out.
"We just came to take pot luck,
Grace" they tell her, as they ask for
more chicken. "We know sou always
have enough for few more in your
capacious larder," and Grace smiles
weakly and calls herself names for not
being able to act with more spontan-
eous hospitality.
There is one housekeeper who has a
beautiful home near this city who for
the last two or three summers has
found it no unusual thing to have from
Ia to IA guests at her dinner table on
Sunday.
UNLIMITED guests, understand! She
is hospitable soul, but when her
friends began to bring their friends
persons totally unknown to her-and

their own account, quite unannounced
she thought it was time to call halt.
She wrote notes to her relatives as
were constant visitors telling them
that her cook was going away on a
vacation and, consequently, that she
could not entertain them for a few
weeks, and awaited results.
On the following Sunday only five
people came. Three of these were
men and two were women. ave re.
ceived your note," said one of them,
when they came within hailing dis
tance, "but we love this cool, old place
so that we couldn't stay away, and we
know that you just have to have some
thing to eat for you and 'Ben,' so we
won't mind sharing that. Now, don't
get thing extra for US. l told some
one the other day that l believed your
cream sauce was giving me indigestion
and l will be better for time without
it,"
The hostess smiled vaguely at this
insolence, and invited her guests po-
litely to remove their hats. Then they
took seats on the broad veranda, and
there they sat until 8 P. M.
"My! but am hungry" one of the
men said then.
"Poor thing! l expect you are,"
murmured the mistress of the mansion
sympathetically. "Go and bring the
sandwiches, Ben"
Her husband was in the scheme, but
when he came out minute later with
plate Of ragged-looking ham sand
wiches he was as grave as a judge.
"There are not very many of them,"
he said; "you see, Nan didn't expect
anyone.
There was one sandwich piece, and
some iced tea and some half,ripe ap-
Piles. That was all the lunch. The
city people ate in silence and took the
$50 train into the city. Usually they
stayed until $50, so that they could
partake of tea as we'll as dinner Once
in town, they whispered around that
"Nan" and "Ben" lived horribly except
when company was expected, and that
anyone who went to their house when
the cook was away would surely starve
to death.
The soul of the gentle hostess was
sorely grieved at the ruse she was
forced to, but husband, at the dainty
little dinner they had after the guests
had left on that memorable Sunday
evening, said that be wasn't going to
have his wife worked to death, and
that he did not regret the fact that
she had lost her reputation for hospi-
tality at all.
As one housekeeper says: "It does
seem rather selfish to want to keep
ones green lawn and shady trees to
oneself when the town is so hot, but l
have prejudice in favor of inviting
people myself, and the ones who come
unlimited, simply to make a conven-
ience of me, annoy me inexpressibly.
And do you know, of all the persons
who sit at my table during the sum-
mer there are not two to whose houses
l feel free to go in the winter, when
want to spend day in town and 60
to matinee. Somehow, it seems nat.
ural for city people to go into the
country, but piece of assurance for
country person to go without special
invitation to city house. I wonder
why ?"-Balimore News.

THE rem NEWAL A STRAIN.


Vacation is over. Again the school
bell rings at morning and at noon, a.
gain with tens of thousands the har-
dest kind Of work has begun, the re-
newal Of which is a mental and pbysi-
cal strain to all except the most rug
ged. The little girl that a few days
ago had roses in her cheeks, and the
little boy whose lips where then so
red you would have insisted that they
had been "klssed by Strawberries"
have already lost something of the
appearance of health. Now is time
when many children should be given
tonic, which may avert much serious
trouble, and we know of no other so
highly to be recommended as Hoods
Sarsaparilla, which strengthens the
nerves, perfects digestion and assimila-
tion, and aids mental development by
building up the whole system.
