The Broken Buckle.

1t Is related of hero in Scottish
history, that, when an overwhelm-
ing force was in full pursuit, and all
his followers were urging him to
more rapid flight, he coolly dis
mounted to repair flaw in his
horses harness. While busted with
the broken buckle, the distant cloud
swept down in nearer thunder, but
just as the prancing hoofs and Gag
er spears were ready to dash down
on him, the flaw was mended, the
clasp fastened, the steed mounted,
and, like a sweeping falcon, he van
ished from their view. The broken
buckle would have left him in the
field an inglorious prisoner; the
timely delay sent him in safety to
his huzzaing comrades. There Is In
daily life the same luckless precipi-
fancy, and the same profitable delay,
The man who, from his prayerless
waking, bounces off into the bust
ness of the day, however good his
talents and great his diligence, is
only galloping on steed harnessed
with broken buckle, and must not
be astonished IL, in his hottest haste
his most hazardous leap, he be left
ingloriously in the dust.-Selected

such a charming grill" he said
afterward. Eyes, OF course there
were far prettier girls In the room,
but she had the advantage OF them
In one way-a sweet, perfectly mod
ulated voice. Her conversational
powers are not unusual, but her way
of speaking would make a very ordi-
nary trivial remark seem worth
while. The voices of so many girls
do not ring pleasantly all the time"
A similar criticism has often been
passed on our American girls, charm
ing and attractive in other ways as
they are conceded to be.
A woman who loves girls, and de-
lights in all their freshness and the
indescribable charm of their braided
hair. and skirts not quite down to
woman's length, has often made a
study OF the young high-school
groups as they take the street car in
the morning. Sometimes there are
not seats for all of them. and they
swing laughing and chattering from
the straps Over the din and rattle
of the car. doubtless their voices
ring out little louder than they are
aware. The girl who speaks with
no nasal information, and who pitches
her tone and laugh 80 low that it can
reach only the ears of those nearest
her, Is comparatively rare.
A very bright girl spent a month
at a seaside clearinghouse last sum-
mer. Sweet-tempered and unselflsh,
trimming with vitality and healthy
interest and enjoyment of her vaca-
ton, she made a pleasant addition
to the circle of guests. But she lack
ed that excellent thing in a woman"
"a lack which made a young man
innocently identify her to a woman
who had not met her, as 1.-The young
lady who talks so loud" and the de-
scription was promptly recognized.
1T is too bad" thought the older
woman; something she could cor
rect SO easily, and it would make her
infinitely more charming, but I don't
suppose she is even conscious that
she has such a habit to overcome "

Two Great Dangers to Eyesight.

In the November issue of the
Womans Home Companion, DR..
Woods Hutchinson raises his lance
against the boyle of civilization max
ing the race blind.
1.-THE dangers to which the modern
eye is exposed fall into two great
classes-disease, and overuse from
near work. Here another great con-
soling fact faces us, and that is that
while overwork and consequent eye
strain are by far the commonest
troubles that befall the modern eye,
discomfort and ineficiency are as far
as they go in ninety-nine cases out
Of one hundred. Never yet was an
eye lost solely from eye strain. It
Is fact that ninety-nine and nine
tenths per cent. of all blindness Is
due to disease, and not to overwork.
More significant yet, seven tenths
of the dieases which produce blind
ness are the acute infections, against
which civilization wages an unceas-
ing and victorious conflict. Small
pox 1t has practically overcome,
thanks to vaccination. The others
hold their own as 'blinders,' on &C
count of our highly intelligent am
blyopia in declining to recognize
them officially or mention them
in public. Just so long as we
continue to consider it immodest and
improper to discuss these blights, so
long they will continue to put out
the eyes of little children by the
thousands.
mo known disease which causes
blindness is Increasing under civili-
zation. So that when we do finally
come to our sense and fight all dis
eases alike.-as we surely will, we
have good right to confidently ex-
pect that blindness will be practical
~ abolished, or reduced to less than
five per cent. Of its present freQuen-
cy.
Even the risk of blindness from
accidental causes, such as wounds,
blows, scaldings and burnings, Is
very much less than it was before.
and still diminishing on account OF
the enormously increased power OF
curing wounds of the eye given us
by antisepsis and asepsis. Where
ten eyes were lost by wounds becom-
ing infected, less than eye suppur-

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
fleets following use of liquor, wine or
peer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in fifty-cent and one-dollar sizes.
