Bonds for River Work.

If a ship canal could restore hft
to a dying city like Manchester
what would the Ohio and the Mis-
sissippi rivers, if completely i'm
proved do in the way of Fastening
the growth Of Cairo and the other
cities along their banks. The engi'
neers say that if they had ample
funds the work on both the Ohio and
upper Mississippi rivers could be
completed within five or six years
from the present time.

SURE SIGNS OF EYE STRAIN
Headache, Vertigo and Other Symp-
toms of That Allnent That
Affilcts Many Persons.

Chief among the symptoms Of eye
strain are watering of the eye. a
gluing together of the eyelids on
awakening in the morning. headache
the position and character of which
vary with each Individual. 1t may .e
neuralgia or 1t may be deeply seated,
as was the case with Wagner, the
musician, who was complaining con-
stantly of "the nerves of his eyes"
The headache is often replaced by
an inflammation of the eyelids, espe-
cially In young and healthy persons
who also have a little conjunctiyitis
with feeling of tension or fullness in
the eyes which may become real pain
of a dull aching character, the eye
balls being very tender on pressure.
Sometimes there are vertigo and
sickness, with dyspepsia, palpitation.
and even difficulty in breathing.
Sleeplessness is very FREQUENT symp-
tom due In part to the excessive flow
Of blood to the brain and In part to
the low tone OF the whole nervous
system.
The symptoms Of eye strain appear
sooner In those who lead confined
and sedentaTy life, who follow occu-
pations which need constant use
of the eyes In bad or unsuitable light,
and In those who are debilitated from
any cause. The symptoms appear
later In those Of coarser fiber, who
pass much Of their time in the open
air or who follow occupations which
do not need prolonged use OF the
eyes for close work.--Lancet.
