CATARACT OF THE EYE.
II May Be Prevented by the Judioious
Use of Glasses.

Among the diseases which are be-
ieyed to belong peculiarly and Of
right to old age cataract is perhaps
the most frequent. 1t is true there
are. cases of cataract in young chill
dren, and one may even be born
blind, the absence of sight being
due to nontransparency Of the crys-
talline lens, but nine-tenths at least
of the sufferers from this affection
are past sixty years of age, and most
of these have exceeded the limit of
threescore and ten.
A cataract is an Opaque condition
Of the crystalline lens, the body
lying just behind the pupil. The
opacity may exist in the body of the
lens itself, or it may form layer on
its surface just beneath the capsule
inclosing it. The cause of cataract
is variously stated, but most author
tiles are agreed in regarding the
opacity as a result of the vain eff
forts of the lens to change its shape
in order to focus the rays of light
exactly at the retina and so secure
distinct vision. In youth this can
be done readily by the little muscles
within the eyeballs, but as the years
60 on the lens gets harder and less
readily changes its shape, and soon
after forty it is SO hard that perfect
accommodation, as this change of
shape is called, is impossible.
That is the time for glasses, If
astigmatism has not made them i'm
perative before that. Many persons
seem to be ashamed of glasses,
thinking that the taking to them is
q confession Of age. So it is, per-
haps, but the scowling and the draw
ing up of the features, which cannot
be helped if glasses are refused, are
a confession much more definite
than the wearing OF glasses.
Even more important, the put
ting on of glasses as soon as the
slightest indistinctness Of vision il
perceived is an almost certain pre-
ventive of cataract. The pulling
and hauling and tugging at the
hardening lens which the eye mus.
Giles must do in order to change its
shape for the varying needs Of near
and far sight irritate the lens and
induce low state of Inflammation,
which results in cataract.
When cataract is once establish
ed there is nothing for the sufferer
to do but wait patiently for the 80
called "ripening' of the process.

Sens In Verse
WHEN THE CRUEL WAR is OVER.

~ EAREST love. do you remember
a When we last did meet,
When you told me that you loves
IL me,
Kneeling at my feet?
I oh, how proud you STOOD before me,
/ In your suit OF blue.
When you vowed to me and country
Ever to be true.
CHORUS.
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears how vain.
Yet praying, When this cruel war is over
Praying that we meet again.
When the summer breeze Is signing
Mournfully along
Or when autumn leaves are falling
Sadly breathes this song:
Oft in dreams ] see thee lying
on the battle plain.
Lonely. wounded. even dying,
Calling. but In vain.
II, amid the din Of battle.
Nobly you should fall,
Far away from those who love you,
None to hear your call.
Who would whisper words OF comfortf
Who would soothe your pain?
All, the many cruel fancies
Ever In my brain!
But our country called you. darling;
Angels cheer your way.
While our nations sons are fighting
We can only pray.
Nobly strike for God and liberty.
Let ali nations see
How we love our starry banner
Emblem Of the free.

TWENTY MEN PERISH
LANDSLIDE OCCURs AT A DOCK IN

Newport, Monmouthshire. Eng. July
2-It is estimated that twenty men
persisted today by the sudden collapse
OF the west wall OF the new lock at the
entrance to the Alexandria dock.
The extension of the dock work had
been In progress for some time and nj
ty men were working In trench sixty
feet deep, preparing for the laying OF
q concrete foundation.
heavy snoring timbers gave way in
the middle and the entire structure col
lapsed and carried down with 1t thous-
ands of tons of earth. the railway lines
on both sides of the trench. many rail-
way cars and four travelling cranes.
The men at the bottom of the trench.
which was 10 yards long and thirty
feet wide, had no chance to escape. but
many of those working nearer the sur
face were uninjured.
The work of rescue was begun soon
after the collapse and three men were
taken out alive. The bodies Of some Of
the dead were recovered.
Late tonight, four men. still living,
were pinned in the debris in the trench.
The incoming tide made the work OF
rescue very dimcult.
At midnight the rescuers were still
busy with their work.
Conversations were being held with
a few of the imprisoned men with the
aid Of speaking tubes, and stimulants
and cigarettes were passed down 10
them; but there was little hops of res
cufng the victims because the removal
of the debris that was penning them
down was likely to cause further fails
of earth and beams.
Up to midnight. eleven persons had
been extricated dead or injured and II
was believed there are still sixteen
bodies under the debris.
