That Third Rail.

Since the Scioto Valley Traction
Company's third-rail system las
been in use number of accidents
have occurred, although none were
very serious.
A very peculiar accident happened
last Saturday, which is an illustra-
tion of the characteristics of electri.

the telephone wires just east of the
corporation line of Canal Winchest.
er. One of the telepho wires
broke and fell. The end where IL
was broken fell across the rails of
the traction company, and from
there the wire went through the
canal and went south several miles.
Thetirst effect of the accident to he
noticed was lond report when the
wire struck the rails. Soon several
carp came to the surface of the
water, the effect of the on the shock
fish seeming to be about the same as
dynamite.
The next effect ofthe accident WIS
discovered by Eddie Barnhart, on
the Chestnut Ridge Nursery, four
miles youth Of Canal Wine ester, on
the road between Lithopolis and
Slough. The family had been
away from the house, and the house
had been closed. When they re-
turned they discovered that there
had been fire in the house, and
found that it came through the tele
phone wire. The insulating mater
ial was burned from the wire, the
paper was burned off the wall, and
a walnut picture frame was burned
through, and was charred a distance

The cause of "eye strain" is
not disease but defect in the
structure or the muscles of the
eye. Consider the incessant work
of the eye, the instant and exact
adjustment demand that sight
may be always equal and ready to
every change in position, distance
and light.
The iIerves impel and control
the machinery in these instant
adjustments; but if the machinery
be imperfect-if there be defects
in the refractive media, or muscu-
lar system--the nerve power be-
comes abnormally great and the
drain thus created constitutes "eye
strain" The effect of such ner-
vous drain is various and often SO
similar in symptoms as to mislead
to diagnosis and treatment for or
ganic trouble. Headache, neural
gia, nervous prostration, insomnia
and many other nervous derange-
ments are found in many instan-
ces to be the work of "eye strain. >"
In fact, anything which reduces
the reserve nerve power to such
an extent that it is insufficient for
an emergency, may be the under
lying cause.
There is, however, no more fire.
quent source of nerve waste than
that which arises from defect in
the refraction accommodation or
convergence of the eyes. Chronic
sufferers, although assured by
their physicians that "organic
disease unquestionably existed
and that "the eyes had nothing
whatever to do with the causation
of the symptoms" have been com
pletelv relieved by simple correc-
tion of the "eye strain" by suit

The exhibition buildings contain
about four hundred thousand square
feet Of exhibition space, besides
which abou, ten acres of ground are
plated into sections and lots for as

other exhibits proper to be shown and
operated on the open grounds.
The buildings of the Ohio State Fair

also a police headquarters building,

The Grange has building equipped

patronized by Patrons of Husbandry
throughout the state, who hold great
reunion during each annual fair, to
which Is invited prominent officers in
the order and general good time is
always had.
The Ohio State Fair is all that is
claimed for 1t. 1t is one of the fixed
institutions of the state, that contri

wealth and happiness of her people.
The forthcoming exhibition will be
patronized largely by people from all
parts of Ohio. and by many from our
adjoining sister states.
The occasion can be made one for a
dual purpose, that Of storing the mind
with useful knowledge, by viewing in
the exhibits the great improvements
that are going on about us, and, the
meeting of friends in social reunion
and recreation, amidst such pleasant
and profitable surroundings.

The Ohio State Fair and Industrial
Exposition, to be held at Columbus,
Aug. 20, 80, 81 and Sept. and g.,
promises the greatest success in
every particular, and especially in the
important one Of being in absolute
completeness for public inspection, on
the morning Of the very first day.
There can, therefore, be no choice Of
days for attending, because each day
will be equal in exhibits and in spe.
cial features and free attractions.
A wise classification Of departments
and a well balanced prize list has at
tracted a wide scope of exhibitors,
who will present their claims for SUI
periority, and the general construction
will be most crcditable to Ohio, and
worthy of national attention.

Squirrel Season.

Now that the squirrel season is
nearing, the various sportsmen are
inquiring about the laws whicl
govern the hunting and killing Of
the same.
1t will be noticed in the new law
that the rules governing the hunt
ing and killing of squirrels are
very strict, and one feature of the
law is the fact that no one is per.
mitted to kill more than ten squir.
rels in any one day. This clause
prohibits the wholesale killing OF
game, which is practiced by some
sportsmen
The laws governing squirrel
hunting follow:
"No person shall catch, kill, in
jrre, or pursue with such intent,
any squirrel except from Septem-
ber first to the fifteenth day OF
October, nor kill more tnan ten
squirrels, in any one day. No per-
son shall buy, sell, expose for sale,
offer for sale or have in his pos
session any squirrel during the
time when the killing thereof is
made unlawful: nor take, catch,
kill, or pursue any squirrel for the
purpose of sale within this state,
or for the purpose of shipment be,
yond the limits of this state nor
buy, sell, or expose for sale, offer
for sale or have in his possession
any squirrel which has been killed
within the limits of this state for
the purpose of sale, or in any man
ner prohibited.
"No person shall receive for
transportation, or transport, or
shall have in his possession with
the intent to transport or to secure
transportation, beyond the limits
of this state, any squirrel which
has been killed within the limits
of this state. And each squirrel
so killed, taken, had in possession,
received for TRANSPORTATION or
transported, contrary to the pro-
vision of this section, shall consti-
tute separate offense. The re-
ception by any person within this
state of any squirrel for the ship
ment to point without the state,
shall be prima facie evidence that
they were killed within this state

Visits of Inspection.

When girl becomes enga ged, after
the usual formaliues have been gone
through. there comes day when she
pays a visit TO the family of her
fance Perhaps the families are
strangers. in which case she is on in
spection. and no matter how she tries
TO control her embarrassment by the
assumption of nonchaiance, she is con-
scious that she is being weighed IN the
balance by her future husbands people.
II is much more comfortable when the
two families know each other. II not.
a visit is arranged. II the distance
between the two homes is not great,
the mother or sisters of the fiance call
on the prospective bride and she returns
this call within week. But if a long
railway journey intervenes the family
OF the intending bridegroom write 10
the girl Immediately on receiving the
news inviting her TO come and pay them
visit
on one such occasion the engaged
girl said: II felt so nervous whers we
got near the house that I should have
liked to scream. but when / suddenly
saw that poor George was quite as
nervous as myself. | grew quite calm
and self-possessed. determined that
his people should not think he had
chosen a silly girl who could do nothing
but shake like a blanc-mange and chat
ter her teeth.
The fance feels eyen more nervous
than man who has jus, bought a horse
and has il trotted up and down before
a party Of critical acquaintances.
But the girl he could not sell if he
would. and he probably would not il he
could.
Truly. the inspection visit is trying
though extremely interesting: for, In adj
dition TO all the above mentioned Gaeries
the fiance also wonders what his
betrothed will think about his people.
