GYMNASTICS For THE EYES
California Artist, Now In Her Eight
ieth Year, Tells How She Has
Preserved Sight.

Mrs. Phoebe c. Taber, wife of G.
Major Taber of Los Angeles. Is prob
ably the oldest active artist in Cali
fornia. She recently celebrated her
eightieth birthday anniversary at a
family reunion held at the home OF
a cousin, Charles w. Taber, and yet
she plies her brush industriously ev-
cry day and says that she is turning
out as much work as she did many
years ago.
she says, that I do not have to wear
glasses at all when l paint. 1 have a
good north light, and I never wear
them. 1 believe my good eyesight is
the result of instructions received
from the first teacher I ever had. He
told me to take good care of my eyes
above all else, and when ever should
find that l had overtaxed them to go
to the window and practise eye gym
nastics' by looking first at distant ant
then at near objects. I have done sc
and am glad of It."
Mrs. Taber is versatile artist. Her
studio is lined with several hundred
of her paintings, and they include por-
traits, figures. landscapes and many
paintings of California fruits and flow
ers. She exhibited seven paintings at
the worlds fair in Chicago and ex.
hibited In Paris in 1891 and 1892.

A Cure For Snake Bite.

Many are the curious methods
adopted for curing snake bites. but
surely none can be more SO than way
of which our Bhavagar correspondent
informs us. Two natives in village
near that station were. he says. brought
back to life after being bitten by
cobra.
The victims were seated on the
ground and there held. while from a
height Of sixteen feet gallons Of hot
water were poured on their heads
Presently. according to the correspond
ent. the victims ''took new lease OF
life." and are as we'll as though they
had never been in the jaws Of death at
all
The explanation to this "cure" prob
ably is that the snake. as often hap
pens. bit its victims. but injected no
poison into them. Thus the men were
merely terrified and continued to be
frightened until the pain caused by the
douche of hot water gave them some
thing else to think about-Civil and
