 From neglect and abuse.

If any organ in the human body s required to do an excessive amount of work the nervous system must supply that organ enough extra power to d. the extra work. To do this some other organ must be drawn upon, and, as i'll 'gusM oUl sqoI SuoIls eQl eLnlUu HE so any organ from which the eye gets it's excess supply of nerve force may suffer.
 The eyes work from early morning until closed in sleep, often sixteen hours a day. and any defect which the eyes can. even partially, overcome by strain adds greatly to the tax upon the nerve centers. Only those who have experienced the relief from nervous ailments which is afforded by right glasses can appreciate their value in these cases. If you have tried every thing else for your nervousness, head aches, etc, let us demonstrate what right glasses will do.

Importance at the moment, but Jessie
did not like him-why. she neither
knew nor cared. She tactfully eluded
his further attentions, and spent the
remainder Of the Afternoon with his
sisters.
Three days later Arthur Morris
called at the Bishop house and found
Jessie at home. They chatted for an
hour or more, and he secured her
consent TO be one of a coaching party
on the next Saturday. Had II not been
for his presence. she would have en-.
joyed the expedition thoroughly.
More than a week had passed. From
Sam Rounds-who knew of every
thing that happened for miles about
John heard OF the party, and drank
deep OF the lovers FIRST cup of sus-
piciOn. bitter with the NORWOOD of
jealousy. He decided to call on Jessie
and learn his fate. His heart leaped
when Jessie came forward to meet
him. There was tenderness in her
eyes and welcome in the clasp of the
warm little hand which nestled for an
instant in his.
Saddle my horse, John; let's ride!"
she said.
Delighted John obeyed, and set
himself stolidly to enjoy her presence
as they galloped along the beach.
Have you an engagement for Sat
urday?" asked Jessie.
Il have none. Can do anything"
asked John eagerly.
II have cousins who live near the
beach twelve miles south of here"
said Jessie. II want to spend q day
with them. Do you think you could
endure the company of three foolish
girls all day, John?"
Il could enjoy the company Of one
wise little girl forever" said John,
with a fervOr which astounded him
when the words were uttered. A
blush suffused Jessie's cheek but her
dropping eyes expressed no rebuke. Il

strife, in visiting with other survivors
the graves of departed comrades in
arms, he remarked that 1t was a GUS
tom in Germany to scatter flowers on
the graves of soldiers once year.
The remark approved itself to sur
viving brothers in arms, friends and
relatives of the heroic dead, and flow
ers were strewn on the graves as to-
kens of loves tenderness and friend
ships esteem. We can readily under
stand that this was one Of the Incl
dents in which Decoration Day origi-
mated.
But, indeed, in all ages and all coun-
tries, flowers on the graves of loved
ones have been the tributes of affec-
tion Of the mourners by the narrow
tomb. But what made Memorial Day
so characteristic as tribute to the
dead was that a certain day was set
apart for its observance, like the holy
days of the church. Indeed, this is
the way Saints days originated. The
anniversary of martyrdom or death
was observed with certain rites and
ceremonies, and so transmitted to pos.
terity. And it is In no way deroga-
tory to the crown Of Christian mar
tyrdom to say our heroic dead were
a goodly company of martyrs for coun-
try, liberty, altar, hearth, and home Of
this land of the free, where no slave
can live henceforward forever!
But not until 1868 was the day OF
commemoration definitely fixed. 1t ap-
pears that the idea originated with
Adjutant General N. P. Chapman, who
conferred with National Commander
John A. Logan, Of the Grand Army Of
the Republic, then in its infancy,
the G.. A. r. was organized at
Springfield, ILL.,. by Or. B. F. Stephen
son early in 1860, suggesting that an
organization should be formed for the
purpose of spreading flowers upon the
graves Of the union soldiers in all the
states, or some particular day through
out the year. The object appealed to
General Logan, who appointed May 80
as a day to be set apart for decOrnt-
ing the graves. Then, on May IL,
1870, May 80 was fixed upon definitely
Tor the annual ODbeEFahc0 VI thS GUS
tom initiated two years previously. At
the Inauguration, General Logan
stated that the day was appointed
''for the purpose of strewing with
flowers, or otherwise decorating, the
graves OF comrades who died in de-
Tense Of their country during the late
rebellion, and whose bodies now lie
In almost every city, village or hamlet
churchyard in the land"

leap forward, crowding each other for
recognition: the valor of our men, the
abnegation of our heroes, the sanctity
of our cause, the sacredness OF our
mission-the bravery Of our foes. their
high but false aspirations, their mis-.
taken zeal in an unworthy cause.-the
nobility of our women, North and
South, the beauty of their ideals, their
almost divine sacrifices: mothers Civ.

daughters their fathers, sweethearts
their lovers, TO be sacrificed as a
bloody holocaust on the horrid, reek-

must only take as adjuncts of a high

Of our country in the dispositions and

with added glory the inheritance given
to us by the Fathers Of the Republic,
and preserved for us by the heroes,
whose surrender of life in a holy
cause we this day commemorate.
How, exactly, the observance Of the
day arose is involved In considerable
obscurity, but no doubt more than one
incident contributed to the celebra-

containing two fine adult specimens of
the creature known hereabouts as the
orange filefsh.
There are few common fish that
have not a variety of names, and the
Jerseyman's name for the orange file
fish is rather appropriate. The fish
has somewhat the outline as well as
the color of the yellow bags in which
smoked hams were once put up.
The two specimens in the aquarium
are the survivors out of four taken in
Gravesend bay in June last. One of
them is yellow all over, the other is
brown in color over three-quarters Of
the surface of its body and Of
bright light yellow over the remain
der.
The orange fetish is homely in
shape and as thin-bodied as an ordl-
nary flatfish, but unlike the fathsh
in this respect, which swims flatwise.
the filefish swims with it's body edge
wise in the water and commonly car
rying its head more or less down.
Sometimes when not swimming it
drops its head so far that the fsh
seems to be standing on its head in
the water.
Odd in shape as It Is and odd in
action, and withal bright colored, 1t
is very striking creature, and the
two specimens of 1t here are among
the most attractive of the aquarium's
exhibits.

and Jessie received him in the old

chatted gaily for an hour or more.

and dismounted to rest and talk be.

Jessie told him of the letter from
her father, and with some pride talked
of the invitation from Randolph Nor
ris. John looked at the slip of paper
in Jessie's hand, and It appeared like
a wedge about TO separate them. And
why should It not? What right had he
70 aspire to the love Of Jessie Garden,
the daughter of a rich man; beautiful
beyond any woman he had ever seen?
The fear, which ofttimes became a
certainty that Jessie would pass be-
yond his reach, was the haunting ter
Tor Of his dreams by day or night.
She had everything-youth, health,
beauty, wealth and position. He had
youth and health-so had the aver
age farm laborer.
Let's climb Strawberry Hill and
watch the sunset" suggested Jessie.
John helped Jessie up the steep,
winding path, and they stood on the
crest Of the hill. The broad Atlantic
lay to the east, and the island-dotted
bay glowed in the colors of a glorious
sunset. At the horizon was a mass of
clouds; above burned a bar of red
the red of blood. To the zenith were
spread the gorgeous tints with which
the setting sun tinseled the closing
curtains of night. Delicate greens
toned through the shades of orange
into rich amethyst, and against this
background Of lacework of clouds
Haunted the thousand graduations Of
the spectrum. But the bar of red
above the dun cloud dominated. II

shimmering in the rubescent glow.
They stood silent for minutes
under the spell Of natures grandest
spectacle. The sun dipped lower until
its arc touched the line of the cloud.
Sharp as a knife, the black bank slow
~ obscured the face of the sun. until

glowered and quivered in the western
sky.
Jessie Gardens reception in the
Morris mansion opened to her a new
and an attractive world. Accustomed
from childhood to the comforts and
Injuries of comparative wealth. she
was awed by the magnificent sensu.

and by the pomp and splendor Of its
decorations and fittings Neverthe-
