tines, arranged in a triangular manner
about the center, and are provided
With rests, extending at right angles
from the handles. When in use one
fork is fixed at each end of the cob,

be rotated for seasoning the kernels,

Sufferers from headache. Indigestion,

will do wen 10 pay heed TO the advice
to guard against EYE strain unless
they already know where is the real
origin Of their trouble. The eye IS a
deceptive organ. When 1t Is most
abused il may not cry out a warning
through the nerves. but instead take a
toll of vengeance in some part Of the
body so remote that the layman you'd

Embellishments Of the delicate parts
may give no trouble at all If a mans
employments are so varied that he
does not hold his eyes steadily to II
task. But If lie must work all day
with books ard papers, If he must
watch the same series of movements
over and over in a machine, If he mus
work with bad light or for an exees-
sive length of time IN a day. then the
trouble begins. Herbert Spencers
case, lnstaneed by an o%culist, has been
a peculiarly unfortunate one He
could never work for more than a
few hours at a stretch, and he has
suffered from insomnia and headaches
all his life long. The whole trouble Is
laid to his eyes. Browning. Darwin,
Carlyle, Huxley and De Quincy are
instanced as other sufferers. When a
man does not know what ails him he
will do well TO consider his eyes. II
he finds there the source of the trou-
bic he may get aid from s%pectacles, or
he may learn that a change of EN-
ployment is essential 10 his physical
