GIVE CONSIDERATION TO EYE ll? <foe of the Most Word erf ul and [ Delicate Organs of the Wonder ful Human Body. More people are wearing glosses to day than ever before. But that ls no reason, says the Journal of the Ameri can Medical Association, for the infer 'ence that eyes are any more defective 'now than they were fifty years ago. It means simply that the work of today .is store exacting on the eyes than the wotfk of the earlier time, and that 'P<"m>?r pr?? talcing edvard ^ r* *'-" erased knowledge of the structure of the eye and the means of making it serviceable. It has been discovered ho^' tve task cf tte persea . A. .it?i is his eyes may be more easily performed. Electricity has turned night into day and made it possible for' the eye ta work longer. Lenses correct the defect's of the eye, and, by lightening the burden, make the organ equal to the opportunity. The eyes of civilization are no more j defective than those of people living; in primitive conditions, and. those of men are not inferior in structure to those of animals. The chief differ ence ls that civilized man has found the means of remedying the defects and is employing it, thus adding to his own efficiency. But this is not wholly true. There are still persons whose pride in the excellence of their sight ! is refusing them the aid they need for comfort and efficiency. There also are persons who abuse their eyes by guessing at the correction needed, in stead of employing the accurate knowl edge they may have. The eye is one of the most wonderful and delicate organs of the wonderful human body. It is certainly entitled to as much consideration as one gives his watch. DIVINE WORSHIP IN MINES Worker? Underground Are Afforded Places in Which They May Per form Religious Devotions. In the Myndd Newydd coal mines, in Wales, there s an "apartment" used exclusively ,as a place of worship. This underground chapel dates from a period of more than fifty years ago, since when it hes always been used as a church, the miners assembling in this strange room every morning to perform their religious devotions. The chapel is situated close to the bottom of the shaft, so that the min ers, on descending the pit, can attend before proceeding to their various stations. The "apartment" lacks or namentation or adornment, the pillars ard beams supporting tire roof being of rough wood. A disused coal trolley, turned on end, serves as a pulpit. Ihe miners sit upon wooden benches placed across thc chapel from side to side, and the oldest worker of the mine performs the duty of pastor. In the sah mine at Wieliczka, Aus tria, there is a chapel of St. Anthony, a Byzantine excavation, supported by columns, wtih altar, cruci.ix and life sire statues nf saints, apparently in black marble, but in reality made of salt. Oct.-ich Forcibly Fed. The Zoological Society Bulletin re marks thal refusal of food is generally the first symptom that an animal cr bird if sick, j he ostrich is one of the mosi provoking in this respect, end, if Lil .ic measures be not adopt er.., soon bore:::-.s so thin as to become a prey to tome really dangerous ail ment. A fne Sou'.n African ostrich re ceived from Arizona at the Now York Zoological gardens in Bronx park last summer refused h's breakfast on De cember 23, 1914. He showed no othor : symptoms cf illness. A week passed j and ho began to lock thin. Keeper George Snyder, at considerable person al risk, began a system of forcible 1 feeding, ramming bolus after bolus of food wrapped iu lettuce leaves down ! the throat of the unwilling bird. This treatment was kept up for more than six weeks, and the ostrich ; became so accustomed to it that he iceased to resist. On February 6, 1915, ! he first evinced a willingness to feed himse.'f, and within a short time his banger strike was over. Old Sport of Falconry. Paleen ry is an ancient sport. It ap-1 .pears to have been known in China \ 4,000 years ago, and at an equally j early date in the valleys of the Nile and Euphrates. Tie references to it ; in Aristotle, Pliny and Martial are ; definite. It was probably introduced , into England from the. continent in the ninth century and was followed there down to the middle of the seven teenth century with greater ardor than any other sport, even than fox hunting. Falcons were allotted to men according to their rank: To the em peror, the eagle and vulture; to kings, I the gerfalcons; to earls, the pere grines; to yeomen, the goshawks; to , priests, the sparrow hawks, and to ; servants, the useless kestrels. j The Optimist j On the whole, poets do not seem to . have too good a time or it. It is , rather rare for an editor to see eye \ to eye with them in regard to the quality of their work. Percival Fliptop had had his work \ "turned down" by five editors in suc cession, and was now being told tho cold and bitter truth by the six'h. Hi's rage got the better of him. "Some day." he burst out "you ed itors will be fighting for my work." "Never mind," chortled he of thc hard heart "When that dav comes, even if I lone. I'll b? just as happy!"

Edward was showing Miss Brown how well he could draw a cow. As he u? cw, he glanced from tiinc to time, at a cow grazing in a nearby yard. "This is her nose," he said, draw ing a curved line. "Kore's her body," he explained, and I after a look at his model he added an ! other curved line. "Now here's; her tail," and he placed I a curved line opposite the so-called ; ! nose.
