how few of these ailments the av

during a lifetime.
The eya-alono is subject to no less
than CbrfcsHjlght different and distinct
affections. Considering ite apparent
vulnerability to contagion it escapes
with- great good luolc,. but in reality
it Is not as exposed, as at first
thought would seem. The eyelids
are automatic in their protection of
the eyeball, aud the first instinct is
to snap shut when a blow is directed
toward them. Incidentally they "oil"
the eye and keep its surface free
from dust, etc.
ft is for the good' of the human
race that tlie practice of medicine
has changed during- the last twenty
flvo years. Formerly there was a
specific remedy for each disense, and
the poor patient was almost drugged
to death. Nowadays physicians
recognise normal conditions, and
more attention is given to favorable
influences of mind and' surroundings
and less to modirino.

The charm of Mrs. Ruth. McEnery
Stuart's negro dialect stories, was
greatly enhanced when she read them
herself, as she used frequently to db
in the early dnys of her fame, for
ofinritv and clnirch entertainments.
Her imitation of the negro dialect
was excellent and her small son,, who
was very proud of her accomplish
ment in this line, frequently boasted
of it among, the other children. Qnce
when some of his schoolmates were
vaunting the accomplishments of
their mothers, he was overheard to
declarer
"Well, my mother Is smarter than
any of yours. She' can speak: two
languages."
"what are they?" demanded his
