st. Patrick's Pursatorx.

According to the medieval legend.
there was an entrance to purgatory on
the island Of Lough Derg, on the coast
OF ireland. It was simply the mouth
OF common cave or cavern, but st.
Patrick ls said to have built a mon-
astery over 1t and to have secured the
opening with an immense grated iron
door. The place became widely known
as Est. Patrick's purgatory." and It
was generally believed that any one
who had the courage to explore the
pit would be excused the trial Of pass
ing through the real purgatory after
death. The fame of the place was
largely due to a poem written in 1853
by Henry of Saltery which pretended
to relate the experience Of Sir Oyayne
Miles, who had embraced the opportu-
nifty of expiating his crimes in it's dark
some depths.
In the year 1496 monk from IIol-
land visited the celebrated shrine and
afterward declared that what was
claimed for 1t was a "travesty on re-
ligion" and that the so called ''pur-
gntory" differed in no respect from
dozens Of other known cavcrns." This
news was conveyed to the pope, who
ordered the monastery destroyed and
the cavern closed up This order Was
carried out to the letter on st. Fat
Yick's day, 1497.

Mind Your Eye.

'Most persons" says an oculist. IRE.
gard the eye as something rather npnrt
from the rest Of their anatomy ard
not in much relation to it. They
hardly realize that the condition Of
sight affects their general health and
are surprised to be told that when
glasses are needed the wearing of
them may add to their nvoirdupois,
make them sleep better or improve
their appetites, vet this is true, rs any
oculist or physician knows. An over
worked eye nerve is as. much. Of IN
agitator in the human system as any
of the other nerves under abnormal
pressure. Brain workers in particu.
lar should keep their eyes in the best
possible condition and render them
every possible aid.
"One valuable help Is suf1ieisat rest.
And right here it should be said that
to stop using the eye in reading or
writing and begin an animated brain
stimulating conversation keeps up the
strain on the optic nerve. Strong
sighted persons, too, abuse their eyes
needlessly. No matter how well one
can see, he should never work in a
cross light. The light should always
be from behind If possible or from the
left side alone. A green shade helps
materially in persistent, close work,
and cold water syringed over the
closed lids Is useful tonic."-New

Tue SaGs;est Sight.

"What is the most distressing thing
you ever saw in courtroom?" was
the question propounded to a group Of
lawyers recently as they sat together
in the Office of one OF. their number.
One told Of hearing a judge pass sem
tence of death on a woman; another
told OF the scene between mother
and son as she bid her boy goodhy for
the last time before he started to servo
ten years sentence in the penlten-
tiary, and as the question went round
the circle each related q story Of court
scenes Almost the last one In the
group said: Gentlemen, the saddect
thing I ever witnessed In courtroom
was when a healthy, strong. handsome
man and woman, with group OF
bright, intelligent boys and girls. thcir
children, appeared before circuit
judge. the one plaintiff, the other de-
fendant, in a divorce suit. The look Of
distress on the faces Of those innocent
children az they sat and listened to
the ordinations and recrimlnations OF
their parents, intent on breaking up
what had been happy home, was tho
saddest sight. ever witnessed."-Kan-
