The Care Of the Eyes.

When one is using the eyes for
close work it is wise to change the
focus at intervals and gaze off at q
distance. If the distant view is of
green mountains and fields it will
be most restful. If the air in the
room can be frequently changed
shat will rest the eyes also. One
should never use the eyes for study
or work before breakfast or after
the strength has been reduced by
disease or a nervous strain. A book
should be held about eighteen
inches from the eyes. The light for
work should be steady and for an
entire room diffused rather than
spottv-Harper's Bazaar.

INVOKING THE SPIRITS.
Queer Superstitions of the Veddas Of
Ceylon.

SeyloH'
DR.. C.. G. Seligman, writing in
Travel and Exploration, throws
some interesting light on the beliefs
and superstitions of the Veddas, the
strange hill tribes and cave dwellers
of Ceylon: Although there is no
clearly formulated idea of a death
contagion, the rapidity with which
all Veddas leave the place where a
death has occurred and avoid it for
years shows that some evil quality
is associated with dissolution. Ac-
cording to most Vcddas, the spirit
of every dead man, woman or child
becomes a 'yaka' plural 'yakuO
within few days after death.
Some Vcddas, however, say that
when ordinary folk die they cease
utterly and that surviving part,
which becomes a yaka, exists only
in the case Of cspcciallytstrong, en-
ergetic or skilled men, who have
shown their strength of character
in this world or who have had the
power of calling the yaku during
their lifetime.
"Sincc each Vedda community
consists Of a small number of fami-
lies, usually related by blood and
marriage, the yaku of the recent
dead-callcd collectively the ne va
ku-arc supposed to stand toward
the surviving members of the group
in the light Of friends and relatives,
who, if well treated, will continue
their loving kindness to their sur
vivors, and only if neglected will
show their disgust and anger by
Withdrawing their assistance or
even becoming actively hostile;
hence it is generally considered
necessary to present an offering to
the newly dead, usually within
week or two of death. This Offering
must consist of cooked rice and CO.
coanut milk, the food that every
Vcdda cstcems above all other, but
betel leaves and arcca nuts are often
added.
ON each community there is one
man, called 'kapuralc,' or 'duggana-
wa who has the power and knowl-
edge requisite to call the yaku, and
this man calls upon the yaka of the
recently dead man to come and take
the offering. The yaka comes, and
the kapuraIe becomes possessed by
the yaka of the dead man, who
speaks through his mouth in hoarse,
cultural accents, stating that he APP
proves the offering and will assist
his kinfolk in hunting and often
definitely indicating the direction
in which the next hunting party
should 60. One or more of the near
relatives may also become possessed. !
Soon after the spirit leaves the
kapurale the rice is eaten by the as
sembled folk"

summer, and they have reason for think
ing so. When we see men chopping Ia

last week. A little cooler at present,
but no ice nor frost to remind us of win

Last Monday was calm and still until
about the middle of the afternoon, when
there came the greatest whirlwind seen
and heard for many years. The wind
roared in the forest, producing noise like
the rushing of many waters, while the
leaves and dust rose high in the air, and
flaw in every direction. But soon all
was calm again and there was nothing
left to indicate that such phenomenon
had just TRANSFERRED.
Deer hunting has rather improved of
late; Saturday morning our Nimrod
brought in fine spike horn buck and
presented the head to Robert Morgan to

amateur taxidermist.
Frank Morgan is still packing apples
near by, and came home the other night
to find mink in one of his traps and a
coon in another, the skins of the two
animals said to be worth nine dollars;
to say nothing of the coon's meat, which
was we'll fatted for the winter.
