slGHTsEERs' HEADACHE.
Caused BY Strain on the Elevator Mss-
.clss Of the Eye.


ACADEMY or "sightseerss " head
lche is not uncommon experience,
md some observations of Simeon
Enell appear to throw some light on
its causation. Allowing that in GER
tain instances astigmatism or other
form of ametropia is a factor in its
production, he yet argues that there
are other influencing conditions. In
support Of this he quotes the expert
ence of a lady who always. suffered
from severe headaches after visiting
the theater when she had occupied a
seat in the pit, but was free from
such disturbance when she sat in
the dress circle. In the first posi-
ton, it is pointed out, sustained ac-
ton of the elevator muscles of the
eyeballs is required in order to see
the stage, and this is exactly the ac-
ton which is required in studying
a collection Of pictures and more
especially in looking at those which
are hung "above the line"
The same experience has been not
ed by Mr.. Smell in the case of cy-
clists, particularly of those who lean
over the handle bars with the head
lowered and who, therefore, in look
ing ahead keep the eyeballs upward.
A further argument is found in the
experience of miners nystagmus,
which, it is suggested, is due to wea-
riness of the elevator muscles of the
eyeballs, caused by the constrained
position in which the miner works.
There can be no doubt of the
physiological fact that lateral move
ment of the eyeballs is much more
easy and requires less muscular eff
fort than movement in a vertical
plane. All this goes to show that
muscular strain is involved in sus-
tanned upward movement of the eye
balls, and this may well result in a
sense of WEAKNESS or more pro-
nounced Observation-Disclosures Hos
pital.

Bronchitis and GIycerin.

A girl long troubled with bronchi-
tbs called in the family physician
during an unusually severe acute at
tack. He directed her to use glyc-
erin whenever affected by that pc
culiar dryness of the throat that at
tends bronchitis. Five drops OF
glycerin held as long as practicable
in the mouth, with lips closed,
proved indeed a wonderful aid. The
doctor further said that equal parts
OF glycerin and water dropped into
the mouth would relieve much suf-
fering in illness where feyerish con-
ditions existed. Harper's Bazaar.

emy's position. Every bullet struck yards above their heads, the common failing of musketry at night being to take too high an aim. But the impact of the missiles on a rock 90 highly i'm pregnated with minerals caused sparks to fly, and Jenks saw that the Dyaks would obtain by this means a most dangerous index of their faulty prac- tice. Telling Iris to at once occupy her safe corner, he rapidly adjusted a rife on the wooden rests already pre- pared in anticipation of an attack from that quarter and fired three shots at the opposing crest whence came the majority of gun flashes.
 One at least of the three found hu- man billet. There was shout of sur prise and pain, and the next volley spurted from the ground level. This could do no damage owing to the angle, but he endeavored to disconcert the marksmen by keeping up steady fire in their direction He did not dream of attaining other than moral effect as there is lot of room to miss when aiming in the dark. Soon he imagined that the burst of flame from his rife helped the Dyaks, because several bull lets whized close to his head, and about this time firing recommended from the crest.

THE CREED FOR GOLD.

The wretched hoarder of money goes through life blind to all it's beauties. | Tottering on the edge of the grave, he can see nothing but the dollar mark. He has sacrificed to the only god he knows-Gold-all that other men treas ure as their greatest wealth-love, friendship. the joys of home and wife and children, peace of mind, happiness. everything that ennobles life and makes it worth living. What has he gained in return? A shriveled soul and ! dlstended purse. His greed for got. has dried up all the noblest springs of his life, and stifed his aspirations for all that is good and beautiful and de- sirable in the eyes of sane men. Love. friendship, generosity, charity, are meaningless words to him. In the midst of a world radiant with beauty. teeming with interests, he lives shut within the narrow. gloomy cell of his own selfishness, with but one interest ito pile up more dollars.
 It is pitiful to see an old man beg ging for bread, but it is tragic to see an old man striving for spiritual food in the midst of his heaped up gold. There is sO-caled success which bears the same relation to community as do certain noxious or poisonous plants to garden. They draw from the soil all its richest nutriment and rob other plants and flowers of their nourishment and beauty
 When will the world learn that a man Is not successful though he have millions if. in amassing them. he has trampled on the flower of sentiment in his daily life. impoverished his man. hood. crushed his higher aspirations and stified the Iongings of his better self?
 It does not matter how much money or property a man acquires; if he has paid too high price for 1t, if he has lowered his ideals and starved his spir- itual nature in the getting, he is fail. ure.
 No matter what his wealth. his po- sitioD, or his fame. the man whose principle is to get all that he can and 10 give as little as possible in return, whose sympathies and interests are bounded by self. whose whole thoughts are for self alone. is a colossal failure. -Orlson Swett Warden in Success

or care 1T they were hit. To frighten them was sufficient. Several others were running across the sands to the cave, attracted by the noise and the cries of the foremost pursuers.
 Then he gave . steady pull to the cord The sharp crack of a rife came from the vicinity of the old quarry. He saw the flash among the trees. Almost simultaneously a bright light leaped from the opposite ledge, Hum. mating the vicinity like meteor. It lit up the rock, showed Iris just van lshing into the safety of the ledge and revealed Jenks and the Dyaks to each other. There followed instantly tre- mendous explosion that shook earth and air, dislodging every loose stone in the southwest pile of rocks, hurling from the plateau some of Its occu- pants and wounding the remainder with shower of lead and debris. The sailor, unmolested further, reached the ledge.
 In tall tree near the valley of death he had tightly fixed a loaded rifle which pointed at loose stone in the rock overhanging the ledge held by the Dyaks. This stone rested against a number of percussion caps extracted from cartridges. and these were in di- rect communication with a train of powder leading to blasting charge placed at the end of a twenty-four inch hole drilled with crowbar. The i'm pact of the bullet against the stone could not fail to explode some Of the caps. He had used the contents of 300 cartridges to secure sufficiency Of powder, and the bullets were crammed into the orifice, being tamped with clay and wet sand The rife was fired by means of the string, the loose coils of which were secreted at the foot of the poon. By springing this novel mine he had effectually removed every Dyak from the ledge. over which it's contents would spread like a fan. Further, 1t would probably deter the survivors from again venturing near the fatal spot.
 Iris listened, only half comprehend. ing. Her mind was filled with one thought to the exclusion of all others. Robert had left her. had done this thing without telling her. She forgave him. knowing he acted for the best, but he must never, never deceive, her s,, t,H not bear 1t.

 Jenks brought her biscuit. tin of meat and that most doleful cup of champagne.
 'It is not exactly frappe." he said, handing her the insipid beverage. but, under other conditions. it is a wine al most worthy to toast you in."
 She fancied she had never before no ticed what a charming smile he had - Toast is peculiarly suitable worl,' she cried "I am simply friz- 1ling. In these warm clothes''
 She stopped. For the first time since that prehistoric period when she was Miss Deane" and he "Mr. Jenks" she remembered the manner of her gar ments.
 Ut Is not the warm clothing you feel 30 much as the want of air." explained the sailor readily, This tarpaulin has made the place very stuffy. but we must put up with it until sundown. By the way. what is that?'
 A light tap on the tarred canvas di- rectly over his head had caught his ear Iris. glad of the diversion, told him she had heard the noise three or four times. but fancied it was caused by the occasional rustling of the sheet on the uprights.
 Jenks had not allowed his attention to wander altogether from external events Since the Dyaks' last escapade there was no sign of tAem in the val ley or on either beach. Not for trivial cause would they come again within range of Jenks' rife.
 They waited and listened silently. Another tap sounded on the tarpaulin In different place, and they both con- cured in the belief that something had darted in curved flight over the ledge and fallen on top of their protecting shield.
 Let us see what the game is,' ex- claimed the sailor He crept to the back of the ledge and drew himself up until he could reach over the sheet. He returned. carrying in his hand a couple of tiny arrows.
 There are no less than seven of these things sticking in the canvas he said They don't look very terri ble. I suppose that is what my Indian friend meant by warning me against the trees on the right
 He did not tell Iris all the Moham medan said. There was no need tt alarm her causelessly. Even while they examined t.e curious little missile another flew up from the valley and lodged on the roof of their shelter.
 The shaft of the arrow. made of some extremely hard wood. was about ten inches in length. Affixed to 1t was a pointed fish bone. sharp, but not barb cd and not fastened in manner sug gestive of much strength. The arrow was neither feathered nor grooved foi a bowstring. Altogether it seemed to be childish weapon to be used by men equipped with lead and steel.
 Jenks could not understand the ap' pearance of this toy. Evidently the Dyaks believed in it's efficacy or they would not keep on pertinaciously drop ping an arrow on the ledge.
 How do they fire it?' asked Iris Do they throw it?' g S'I will soon tell you,". he replied reaching for rife.

Detective King left the police station
yesterday morning to serve his law
document on the doctor for an alleged
violation of the liquor ordinance.
The detective stationed himself at the
corner Of Third and Flower streets,
near the Angelus pharmacy, in which
DR.. Johnston Is interested. AS the de-
tective stood on the corner nervously
fumbling the warrant in his inside
pocket (he Is one of the latest men
taken on the police force) he peered in
quiringly into the face of each passer-
by, the meanwhile mumbling over and
over to himself the description of the
man for whom he was looking.
"Two hours and the doctor has not
come yet. Oh, my!" and he wiped the
perspiration from his forehead.
Fifteen minutes more and the droop-

street was accused by the Juvenile
officer yesterday afternoon of having
severely beaten his nine-year-old sister.
Zobiana, with a rawhide. The officer
alleged that Garvias beat his sister so
severely yesterday morning that she
was too i'll to leave the house in the
afternoon.
Garvias, who is 90 years old, declares
that his sister is unmanageable and
has bad habit of keeping change when
sent to the store to make a purchase,
This neglect to return the change
