THE STRAIN ON OUR EYES.

The question. Are our eyes weak

who observe closely and who are dis
mayed by the remarkably large mum
Der Of people who Wear glasses today
as compared with IL generation OF so
ago our eyes are not degeneruting
The eyes of the present generation are
In no wise poorer, weaker or inferior
10 those of our ancestors. notWith-
standing the fact that a far greater Per-
centage wear glasses than formerly.
The probabilities are that the eyes
Of the human race are neither weaker
nor stronger today than We're those Of
our forefathcrs, unless it can be proved
that the whole physique of the race to-
day is weaker or stronger AS is the
whole physical body, SO are the eyes.
But much more is required of our
eyes now than was ever required of our
ancestors, The strenuous struggle for
existence today. the ever increasing
complcXity of our modern civilized life
the multiplying knowledge of the
world in all lines of human endeayor,
knowledge that must he mastered if
we would rise ana achieve success, put
far greater strain on the eyes of this
generation than on those that hay g
gone before.
Our schools are far more eXacting
and severe. the business and scientific
world require closer application and
more painstalling care than ever be
fore. Electricity has turned night into
day, and much more work is now done
by artificial illumination than in tie
past. Sharp competition in every line
makes it necessary to have the best
vision obtainable.
Because of these exacting demands
on our eyes. latent imperfections. er-
rors of refraction, causing eye strain,
are brought out and made manifest by
symptoms of discomfort and distress,
compelling us to seek the improvement
of vision and the comfort afforded by
properly fitting lenses.--Journal of the

DlsGUsTED WITH EVANGELIST

Brandon, July S.-The residents of
Forestdale decided last evening that
b. T. Taylor, known as Cyclone

would hold no more meetings in that
village, they having become disgust
ed with his obscene and abusive Ian
guage. About 200 of them surround
ed the tent where he was holding
forth and serenaded him with horns
and COW bells.
The demonstration was SO strong
that Taylor became alarmed as to his
personal safety and sent to Brandon
for police protection. Officers re-
sponded to the call and escorted the
man to his boarding place. The
crowd was good natured and orderly
but the people were determined to
silence the unwelcome visitor. 1t is
understood that he will not be allow
sd to speak again.
Taylor has visited this section at
intervals for several years and this is
not the first time he has been forced
to discontinue meetings here. Several
years ago he caused some trouble
and was ordered to leave town.

Minnehaha as she lay at her pier in
New York caused the explosion and
fire at sea, in the opinion of the Off
GERS of the steamer which put in here
for examination today.
The explosion occurred in No. 3
hold and was OF terrific force, shaking
the vessel from stem to stern. Those
of the crew who were forward at the
time were fairly stunned by the shock
and two sailors were hurled bodily
into the air. Flames followed quick
ly, and for two days and two nights
the crew battled heroically to save
the ship which Erich Muenter, then
known as Frank Holt, had hoasted he
would send TO the bottom. For there
is no doubt in the minds of the Off
GERS that Muenter, or confederates,
were responsible for the outrage
which, welltimed, occurred at 4.15
o'clock on the afternoon of July Z,
the date upon which the dynamiter
predicted that some vessel, of the
name of which he appeared uncertain
would be destroyed
Muenter's plans were frustrated by
the fact that his weapon of destruc-
tion was placed with miscellaneous
freight forward, and so was separat-
ed by stout bulkheads from an enor-
nous cargo of ammunition which,
with other inflammabe munitions Of
war intended for the Allies, filled the
after holds.

language in Europe, is found in one of
those curious collections of stories that
have come down from the middle ages.

by an unknown hand about the middle
of the tenth century, there is a story
Of a wealthy lady who, having secret
