"Are your eyes sore t After rending do they feel as If they were crossed and doe It seem an If a numb swelling nes tled between the brows? "In three cases out of five of eye trouble there Is no ailment with the orb Itself, but only with the muscles which control Its movements," said a noted oculist. "The eye muscles have become flabby and weak and require toning up and strengthening. This may be done by rye gymnastics. "Whenever tho eye Is In use Its mus cles nro brought Into piny. Look at an object In the distance or look at an other at close range, and the eye per forms an Imperceptible movement ei ther of sinking deeper or of rising out of the socket In order to adnpt Itself to the range, exactly as a telescope Is lengthened or shortened for various distances. Every time the eye turns to the left or to the right or upward or downward It Is controlled by muscles that perform merely the mechanics.) part of turning the organ of vision. It Is In the decline of these muscles where most people ought first of all to seek their complaint "Nothing Is simpler than to remedy this evil. Stand erect gase straight nhend and throughout the entire exer cises hold the head In this position, making it necessary for the eyes alone and not the muscles of the neck to come Into play during the ensuing gym nastics. Hold a dime between two fin gers and extend the arm straight In front as far as possible, at the same time riveting the gaze on the coin. Al ways looking at the dime, approach the coin gradually until it is within four inches of the eyes. Then extend to the original position and repeat the move ment It will strengthen the muscles controlling the eyes on range adjust ment "For the second exercise keep the head in the sntne rigid position as be fore and, holding the coin extended, keep the eyes fastened on it and move the arm as far to one Bide and as far to the other as the eye can follow the arc of the sweep. "Holding head and arm and coin as at first raise the arm so high that the eyes are unable longer to see the coin unless by an elevation of the chin. Then lower the band with the coin sim ilarly until It disappears from vision. "Perform these exercises faithfully, and In two or three days the eyes will be brighter and the sight better. Crow's feet will disappear,' and the youthful vigor when the eye was in its highest state of efficiency will be restored." New York Press. What Cansee Sayneae. The manner in which shyness shows Itself differs greatly in different people. Sometimes it is caused by Inexperience and the want of self confidence that comes from knowing little or nothing of the ways and customs of society, and sometimes, too, It arises from self consciousness and is simply vanity un der another name and in different guise. It may sound harsh to say that the shyness of many people Is caused by their conceit but It Is a fact all the same. They are always thinking of themselves, wondering if they are mak ing a good impression or looking their best They imagine that every one Is remarking them, and If not quite cer tain of their surroundings they get hot and nervous, flurried, awkward and un comfortable. If they would only think less of themselves, they would be far happier and also far pleasanter com panions. Food For nervosa IatlTldaals. As a rule salt meat Is not adapted to the requirements of nervous people, as nutritious juices go into the brine to a great extent. Fish of all kinds Is good for them. Raw eggs, contrary to the tommon opinion, are not as digestible as those that have been well cooked. Good bread, sweet butter and lean meat are the best food for the nerves. People troubled with insomnia and nervous starting from sleep and sensa tions of falling can often be cured by limiting themselves to a diet of milk alone for a time. An adult should take a pint at a meal and take four meals a duy. People with weakened nerves re quire frequently a larger quantity of water than those whose nerves and brains are strong. It aids the digestion by making the food soluble, and seems to have a direct tonic effect Science News. The OrsTan of Taate In Insects. The antennae of insects do not appear to contuln any organ of taste, for wasps and ants quite readily took Into their mouths poisonous and unpleasant food, even swallowing enough to make themselves ill, while some bees and cockroaches fell a prey to the tempta tion of alum, epsom salts and other nauseous foods placed In their way. These substances were not, however, swallowed, but were soon spat out, the creatures sputtering angrily, as If dis gusted with the taste. Chambers' Jour nal. A Shallow tabtorfaea. "Why is that congressman so op posed to beautifying the city of Wash ington?" "Well, he's constantly posing as a servant of the people, and he's afraid Us constituents will get an idea that the servants' quarters are too luxu rious." Washington Star. A LONG SENTENCE. Oit That Dlacoaataa tha Laaa-eat Oaa Evarts Ever tittered. Abram B. Hewitt hnd a very nimble wit and dearly loved a Joke. He wns once a guest at n dinner which includ ed Recorder Smyth and Senator Evartt. The recorder was poking fun at the senator and read from a newspaper clipping what purported to be a sen tence from a recent speech made by the senator, but which was in reality wholly fictitious, as the senator knew quite well. At its conclusion the lnugh was long and hearty at Mr. Evarts' ex pense, and no one laughed longer or heartier than the senator himself. As soon as the laughter hnd subsided Mr. Hewitt suddenly loaned across the table and, looking rather sternly. Into the smiling face of the recorder, said In d well assumed tone of reproach: "That certnlnly Is a remarkable sen tence, your honor, but criticism of it does not come well from you If today's newspapers are to be believed, for thoy contain a sentence of much greater length which Is attributed to you." "Why why, how is that Mr. Hew itt?" inquired the recorder, with con siderable confusion. "Because," said i- Hewitt, with the utmost gravity and that grim smile which always accompanied his best sayings, "you are there quoted as ot tering a sentence that was to last through the whole life of the prisoner." Philadelphia Ledger. The I'eual War, A man hnd a piece of news. A reporter beard of It The reporter called on the man. And asked him about the news. The man played balloon with the re porter. He swelled noticeably and said: "You fellers never get anything right. So I won't tell you." The reporter did not get angry. . no knew the man wns a fool. ne had seen him before. He knew the real facts could bo bad from no one else. Yet the reportor did the very best he could to get at the truth. And published the story as he got It Then the man who had refused to give the facts arose early and bought a paper to see if the facts were distorted. They were. . And he said: "I told you so." Query. With whom should the public yearn to get even the reporter, who did his best or the arrogant fool, who deliberately refused to help him? Bal timore American. Animals and Rain. It seems strange that no animal, un less it be the squirrel, seems to build it self a shelter with the express object of keeping off the rain, which they all so much dislike. Monkeys are misera ble In wet and could easily build shel ters if they had the sense to do so. "As the creatures bop disconsolately along In the rain," writes Mr. Kipling in bis "Beast and Man In India," "or crouch on branches, with dripping backs set against the tree trunk as shelter from a driving storm, they bave the air ot being very sorry for themselves." But even the orang outang, which builds a small platform In the trees on which to sleep at night never seems to think of a roof; though the Dyaks any that iwhen It Is very wet it covers Itself with the leaves of the pandanus, a large fern. London Spectator. No Misers la Burma. When a Burman has earned a llttlo money, he immediately proceeds to pend it all, for the Burmese have no ambition to be rich and never board. Consequently there are no large land owners, and, there being no aristocracy, the people are as near bolng on an equality as possible. Poor people are quite as rare as rich people, and the only beggars to be met with are the lepers, who sit on the steps of the pago das. Should a Burman find himself in possession of a large sum of money be builds a pagoda and possibly a zayat, or resthouse. If any money still re mains, be gives a theatrical perform ance. An Advantage From Fosra. In speaking of fogs a medical journal draws some consolation from tho fact that even fogs have one compensating advantage which has often been over looked. "It is," it says, "reasonable to suppose that a fog effects a partial purification of the atmosphere. This is borne out by the fact that when a fog subsides tho deposits contain the car bon, sulphur, organic bases and other Injurious and Irritating particles which formerly existed In a state of suspen sion In the atmosphere." Up Asratnat It. "Don't go In there, children," cau tioned the wife of the struggling poet, listening a moment to sounds as of a strong man In distress that came from the other room. "Why not?" they asked. "Your father is trying to find a rhyme for 'scrofulous.' "Chicago Tribune. Bis Costlr Conversation. Tired Tatters Dey say dat sum uv dem poets git 1 a word.
