"Are your eyes sore t After rending do

"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.

making it necessary for the eyes alone
and not the muscles of the neck to

head in the sntne rigid position as be

keep the eyes fastened on it and move

"Holding head and arm and coin as

eyes are unable longer to see the coin
unless by an elevation of the chin.
Then lower the band with the coin sim

"Perform these exercises faithfully,

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

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

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."

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

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

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."
