A SEAT OF MANY ILLS.
Eye Strain Is Responsible For ? Num
ber of Ailment*.
When the specialist to whom they
had taken their sixteen-year-old daugh
ter on account of what seemed to be k
case of Incipient melancholia diagnosed
the case as one of eye strain and or
dered prompt treatment from an ocu
list, the parents of a young New York
girl were astonished. Eye strain seem
ed as remote from melancholia as
would corns on the feet. Their aston
ishment was proportionately increased
when after a few treatments and ac
quiring glasses the child showed no
ticeable Improvement
Latter day medical science traces to
eye strain many Ills which seem so re
mote from the eyes that formerly phy
?iclans never thought of establishing a
connection between them. Sick head
ache. nervousness, melancholia. Insom
nia, are but a few which have of law
been laid to the door of weak eyes, the
proper treatment having been neg
lected.
Nervous diseases of the nature of St.
Vitus' dance are now thought to origi
nate frequently lu eye trouble. The
weak eyes blink Incessantly, aud this
leads to a general contortion of the
facial muscles, which grows on the
subject through constant repetition. -
Exchange.
The Names of Tea.
We talk glibly about Pekoe, Bohea,
etc.. but few people have any idea of
what these names signify. "Pekoe"
In the dialect of Canton means "white
hair," for the tea which bears this
name In made from the youngest
leaves, so young that the white down
Is still on them. "Soochong" lu the
same dialect Is a quite unpoetlc name.
It merely signifies "small kind."
"Flourishing spring" Is the meaning
of "Hyson." "Kongo" signifies "la
bor." Much trouble and toll are ex
pended In Its preparation at Amoy, and
these are commemorated In Its name.
"Bohea" Is called after a range of hills.
?Portland (Ore.) Journal.
To Clean Bronzes.
It is not a good plan to clean bronzes,
as the polish is very easily spoiled, but
if necessary nothing Is better than
cleaning them with water and ammo
nia. using a stiff brush like a nailbrush
Dry careful'y after rinsing thoroughly.
They should be carefully dusted every
day with a soft cloth nnd a feather
brush, and a little sweet oil may be
rubbed on occasionally. To remove
stains from brou:e make the article
very hot by dipping It In balling water.
(Tien rub it with a piece of flannel dip
ned In su.ls made from yellow soap,
rubbing elenn with soft linen cloths.
Good For Evil.
There lire some people who turn
-Xiy, but do not grow hoary; whose
faces are furrowed, but not wrinkled;
whose henrts are sorely wounded In
many plares. but ure not dead. There
's a youth that bids defiance to old age.
and there is a kindness which laughs
at the world's usage. These are they
who have returned good for evil. Whom
the gods love die young, and they die
young because they never grow old.?

for our parrot not long ago, and the
very next morning after I put her In it

"Complaining about the house, I
fancy."
"But why should she swear at you?"
"Took me for the Janitor, no doubt."

BLACK, ITCHING
Physicians Called It Eczema In
Worst Form? Treated Disease
for a Year but Could Not Cure It
?Patient Became Despondent
Suffering Promptly Allayed and
DREADFUL DISEASE
CURED BY CUTICURA
"About four years ago I was afflicted
with black splotches all over my fuce
and a f>>w covering my body, which
produced a severe itching irritation, and
which caused me a great deal of annoy
ance and suffering, to such an extent
that 1 was forced to call in two of the
leading physicians of . After
a thorough examination of the dreaded
complaint they announced it to be
skin eczema In its worst form. They
treated me for the same for the length
of one year, but the treatment did me
no good. Finally I became despondent
ana decided to discontinue their ser
vices. Shortly afterwards, mv husband
in reading a copy of a weekly !New York
paper saw an advertisement of the Cuti
cura Remedies. He purchased the en
tire outfit, and after using the contents
of the first bottle of Cuticura Resolvent
in connection with the Cuticura Soap
and Ointment, the breaking out entirely
stopped. I continued the use of the
Cuticura Remedies for six months, and
after that every splotch was entirely
gone and the affected parts were left as
dear as ever. I have not felt a symp
tom of the eczema since, which was
three years ago. The Cuticura Reme
dies not only cured me of that dreadful
disease, eczema, butof other complicated
troubles as well, and 1 have been the
m?ans of others being cured of the saino
disease by the Cuticura Remedies, and
I don't hesitate in saying that Cuticura
Resolvent is the best blood medicine
that the world has ever known. Mrs.
Lizzie E. Sledge, 540 Jones Ave., Selma,
Ala., Oct. 28. 1905."

by a germ. The only way to cure dand
