Salt water, fairly strong, uevl
rfjulirlv several times a day ill
wonderfully stmighen the muscles
of the eyes. It acts as a touic op
en every part of the under-lid and
the cornea, and penetrates deep
even into the recesses of the tear
gland. Upon eyelids'prone to gran
ulation or U styes the action of the
warm salt water is most marked
and almost immediate.
It t always best when advocat
ing the -merits of a thing to state
reasons for actions. The writer has
personally tried the salt care upon
eyes 'weakened by long nse that
could not bear the light, yet had
excellent sight, so far as power of
vision went, if only the weakened
muscles would allow the iris to
have full play.
The salt lath was tried, first with
a unonw. later with the eves held
i 0 - ,
open in a bain of salt water, and
the result was restored tone, to
every feeble muscle.
Salt is a combination of chlorine
with sodium. Chlorine is one of
the most powerful Kses known.
It can destroy anything brought
near to its influence. Mixed with
lime it is the noted disinfectant
named chloride of lime, used where
ever fevers and dangerous ferments
ait1. Mingled with sodium it lie
becomes chloride of sodium, our
valuable most useful and indispen
sable table salt.
Stadium is soft, white metallic
earth, which has alkaline nature.
The sodium softens the fierce burn
ing, poisonous acid of chlorine, and
makes a salt of it, mild enough to
be eaten. With hydrogen gas it
forms hydrochloric acid in our stom
achs, and this is a great agent in
that dissolving of food which we
call digestion.
When, therefore, salt is dissolved
in water to make our eve bath, a
part of the chlorine mixes with the
hydrogen of the water to make the
powerful hydrochloric acid, which,
in such minute quantity and so di
luted, is harmless of burning pow
ers. Hut it at once attacks the fer
ments and bacilli that cause stves
and so forth on the eyelids; it draws
out their gases, alters their life; in
short, eats them up
Ueing so powerful an antiseptic
the salt cleanses and purines every
thing on its passage into the tissues,
for it at once absorbed by the tiny
blood-vessels of the mucous mem
brane, and enters into the circula
tion, which is given tone and ener
gy .by the combinations made m
lK)th the sodium and chlorine.
Olxstinate catarrhs yield to this
salt bath, and catarrhs are a fre
quent cause of eye w eakness, owing
to the tear gland leiiig blocked up
by inflamed conditions of the blood
vessels which line the membrane
of the nose and prevents the eye wa
ters finding their proper channels.
Salt, by exerting a cooling influence,
takes away the fever.The ferments
in the congested vessels are attack
ed by the powerful cWorine and de
stroyed. The blood being render
ed pure, nourishes the membranes
aright, and so cure is brought about.
The tonic treatment braces the
muscles and makes them lit to un
dertake more work without yield
ing to weariness.
In addition the salt bath, people
.with weakened eyes ought to. sleep
in a perfectly dark' room at night,
so giving their optic nerves all the
rest possible. Sleeping in light
rooms often is the sole cause of
weali eves.

Naples, April 9. The denta
tion wronght by the eruption of
Vesuvius has become so widespread
that 50,000 are said to have I fen
made homeless.
Dozens of Tillages have 'been
wiped out and 2,000 acres of vine
yards, olive groves and farm lands
destroyed.
The eruption is growing worse
eTery hour, and as a consequence
a state of panic prevails through
out the country.
Thousands of persons are join
ing the refugees and leaving the
vicinity of the volcano.
The heavy fall of ashes and dust
makes living so unpleasant that
many persons of the better classes
living in this city and other towns
who fear actual danger from the
eruption, are leaving for some oth
er places until the volcano's activi
ty ceases and the air lecomes
cleared.
Refugees reaching here tell of
narrow escapes from the flowing
lava and of hardships of fleeing
peasanters and villagers.
Earthquakes have added to the
horror of the situation.
Later The volcano is suiciding.

Probably no branch of .forest
utilization, with the possible ex-
ceptiou of the manufacture of
pulpwood, shows such rapid de
velopment in this country as the
veneer industry. Until very re
cently the opinion has prevailed
that the kinds of timber which
could be made into veneer were
very limited in number, but the
reports furnished by the veneer
producers to the Forest Service in
clude 24 species. Many of these,
to be sure, are now cut in unim
portant quantities, but the ten
dency to experiment with new
woods is clearly shown.
The following statement as to
the kinds and quantities of wood
used for the manufacture of veneer
stock iu 1905 is compiled from the
reports furnished to the Forest
Service by 93 firms. It shoultl le
noted that the total amount of
wood used, 13s.640.0OO feet, is in
log measure; As the amount of
lumlier actually cut from the log
averages about 20 per cent greater
than the log measure, it is afe to
say that the timltcr uvsl for veneer
stock would have made some IWi,
00(1.(100 feet of ordinary lutnlter.

Columbia Citr
While the local merchants ia the
small towns and cities tit around
asd whine about the mail order
houses ruining their business, the
mail order concerns are driving
away day and night investing twen
ty five per cent of their profit- in
advertising. If all the merchants
of Columbia City would invest ten
percent of their profits each year in
advertising in their local papers
they could put the mail order house
out of business so far as Whitley
county is coucerned. There are
about fifty merchants in this town
who are wailing loudest about this
mail order business who wouldn't
give a local paper a dollars worth
of advertising to save the publish
er from purgatory, and the same
conditions obtain in other towns.
They say it don't pay to advertis
just a donation to the publisher.
The mail order house knows W'tter

One night, as a messenger from
the office of an evening paper was
passing along the quays on the

sound of someone struggling in the

"Are you drowning?" he shout

from the water.
"What a pity!" said the lad consolingly.

Plowing The Orchard.
The Department of Agriculture
has been gathering some informa
tion on the results of different treat
ment of orchards, i. e., cultivating
vs. cropping. The deductions to
Ik' drawn seem to be that trees iu
clean, cultivated ground suffer
less from a drought and hot winds
than do those in pasture or grass
lands; that the fruit from cultiva
ted orchards is larger than that
from trees in grass, and that tree
roots extend more rapidly than
may be generally supposed. In
stances are cited of trees five yeaix
old with roots extending in various
directions ten feet from the trunk.
The roots of trees which have
stood in sod since planting were
found just U'neath the surface of
the soil, while the roots of those in
cultivated soil were nowhere less
than eight inches from the surface
of the soil .
This makes it clear that if
orchards are to be cultivated at all
they should be cultivated from the
first; otherwise even shallow plow
ing will seriously injure the roots.

A Wonderful Being1 A Riddle.
(iod made Adam out of chut.
Rut thought it best to make ine tirst;
So 1 was made before the man.
To answer His most Holy plan.
My body He did make complete.
But without either hands or feet
My ways and actions did control;
Yet I was made without a oul.
A living being I became,
And Adam first gave me a name:
Then from his presence I withdrew.
And more of Adam never knew.
I did my Maker's laws obey,
From them I never went astray;
Thousands of miles I move in fear,
And seldom on the earth appear.
But (iod in me ouie power did see,
And put a living soul in me;
A soul from me my (iod did claim,
And took from me that soul again.
And when from me that soul had fled.
1 was the same as when first made,
And without hands or feet or soul
1 travel now from pole to pole.
I labor hard both day and knight.
To fallen man I give much light.
Thousands of people, young and old,
Will by in y death great light behold.
No fear of death doth trouble ine,
For happiness 1 cannot see.
To Heaven I shall never go.
Or to the grave or hell below.
The Holy Scriptures you beleive,
But right or wrong I cant concede.
Although my name in them is found,
It is to me an empty sound.
