His Life Enriched the World.

Happy is the man who knows how
to enjoy his leisure in way to allie
viate the cares of life. Such man,
says the Springfield Republican, was
DIR. Matthias Cook, physician of
Utica. N. Y. who recently died at
the age of 70 years. He was lead
ing member of the Oneida County
Medical society, but beyond his pro-
fessional work did other things we'll.
He was well known as singer. He
had famous flower garden. He made
an chronological collection of over
5000 specimens. which he gave to
the Utica Free academy. He became
known through the world as raiser
of high-bred pigeons. He had rep.
utation for microscopical studies He
gathered collection of postage
stamps. which he finally sold for
$4,000. Besides all these things, no
physician in Utica did more charitable
work than DR.. Cook He would seem
to have been as we'll entitled to be
called an "all-round man" as ANYBODY

DEFECTS OF THE EYEsIeHT
Curious Connection Between the Or
gans Of Vision and the Teeth
Has Been Proved.

Many eye defects, of course, are due
TO the bad habits of their possessors.
Tobacco. for instance, is generally
neld to impair their vision, usually in
Jurlng the color sense so that gold and
silver become indistinguishable Ac-
cording to some medical authorities,
again, the connection between eye
and tooth trouble is more than an old
wires fable. In his book dealing with
the subject. Hancock relates the story
OF boy who woke up one morning to
md himself blind. On examination.
MS teeth were discovered to be
crowded together, and a few of them
were removed. with the result that by
evening he could distinguish between
light and darkness. More teeth were
removed, and in IL days his sight was
fully restored. Other cases which
tend to show the connection between
eye and tooth trouble have also been
noted. Very frequently occupation has
much to do with one or other eye de-
feet. Thus, nystagmus is sometimes
known as the miners disease.
Nystagmus is an involuntary oscilla-
ton of the eyeball to and fro or round
In its orbit. In contradistinction to
glaucoma, it is young defect, having
been noticed in infants, but some
times 1t attacks miners after 40.
Miners are inclined to attribute the
failing to the bad light, but it is more
likely to be caused by the continual
upward glance so often necessitated
by their occupation.
