"HERE SHALL THE PRESS, THE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UNAWED BY INFLUENCE AND UNBRIBED BY GAIN" The Pioneer LONDON'S BRIDGES. The First of These Historic Structures Named a Juvenile Game. Can you remember when you were a little tyke and played "London'bridge is falling down" during recess or at children's parties when the girls were not too much dressed up? The game always ended with a vigorous pull of the opposing sides, with the result that usually both forces went down in the dust. Did you know that that childish game was one of the genuine antiques and that it could trace its origin to a real historic fact? The first bridge over the Thames, at the headwaters of navigation, about half a mile above the Tower, was so old that the story of its construction is lost in a maze of myths. Its fall, however, is a matter of record. It happened on the 16th of November, 1019, and it was the result of the most devastating storm and the most terrific and sudden flood that London had ever seen. That first bridge was entirely of wood. It was not rebuilt for almost a century, and the second bridge consisted of stone arches, resting on deep piling. It was forty feet wide and almost a thousand feet long. Houses were built along the bridge, also resting on piling, until the bridge looked like a city street. These buildings were swept away by fire in 1606. In the middle of the bridge was a draw, with a tower, on which were exhibited the heads of Englishmen who were executed for treason against the kings of England. The present London bridge was begun in 1824, a little way above the old one, and it is of such massive construction that there is little danger of its ever "falling down."—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. TACT AND A SPEECH. Why Disraeli Changed His Mind About Speaking In French. In Lord Redesdale's "Memoirs" there are some stories of Lord Beaconsfield. The following is particularly characteristic: "There was one amusing incident in connection with the Berlin congress. One day it was announced that on the morrow Lord Beaconsfield was to address the assembled statesmen and that he would speak in French. Lord Odo Russell, who was a master of tongues, heard this with no little alarm for it was well known that Lord Beaconsfield's French was very much of the Stratford-atte-Bowe type. Lord Odo, always clever, went to him and adroitly turned the conversation on to the next day's conference. Lord Beaconsfield announced his intention of speaking. "In what language do you propose to speak?' asked Lord Odo. "In French,' was the answer. "I am afraid that will be a very great disappointment to the colleagues," said Lord Odo. "You see, they know that they have here in you the greatest living master of English oratory, and of course they are longing to hear you. "The great man smiled his pleasure, and the speech was delivered in English. Lord Odo was wont to declare that he never knew whether Lord Beaconsfield took the hint or accepted the compliment." The Measure. The ancient judge sat before the scales of worth. "Bring forth the royal treasure!" he cried, and the hurrying slaves poured into the huge pans sacks of golden metal, caskets of sparkling gems until seemed as if all the wealth of earth were there. Yet the balance never stirred. "Let the learning of the ages be added," came the order, and tons upon tons of the wisdom of sages, philosophers, scientists and poets was heaped upon the pile. And still the great arm of the scales remained high in air. "Add now the men of power and high position," said the judge, "and the scale will fall." But all in vain. "But what is on the other side that outweighs all these?" asked one. "It is character." said the judge.— Portal. Walter Was Puzzled. This is a true story. Little Walter, whose father is a professor in a middle west university, was scrutinizing his parents closely and said: "Father, you have such heavy eyebrows, and mother has hardly any. What are eyebrows for?" The father replied, impromptu. "Why, eyebrows are—er—eyebrows are to keep the perspiration from getting into people's eyes when they work hard." "But, father," protested Walter, "I don't see how that can be, for mother's would need to be many times heavier than yours." And father was lost in thought.—Christian Register. THRIFTY BUSINESS CONCERN. How the National Benefit Association Has Grown In Usefulness. Washington.—The National Benefit association in this city has had published in one color and then by hand and placed on a de luxe mount, with card hanger, a handsome jumbo calendar for office use (1916) of the Shaw monument, in Boston. The memorial commemorates the valiant deeds of the officers and men of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts, the first Negro regiment sent from the free states during the civil war. The title leaf hanging over the top of the jumbo tells the story. There is also a fitting inscription, "Our Forgotten Heroes," under the picture. The calendar for home use is produced from a living model. It is a most beautiful and original effect, as well as a marvelously beautiful background design. The picture is of a young lady seated at a window. The subject appeals to one's aesthetic taste. The graceful pose, etc., need only to be seen to be instantly appreciated. The sentiment expressed is pure, sweet and wholesome. It is appropriately entitled "Sweet Memories." This subject was reproduced direct on the mount by the offset process, newest process in lithography, which gives it a softer appearance. There is a special gray border, gray calendar pad, with motto on top Tobacco Production. India, second only to this country in the production of tobacco, consumes most of its own product and imports very little. Russia is third and raises practically all her supply, importing and exporting only a small quantity. Austria-Hungary is the fourth producing country, importing more than a fourth as much as it raises and exports one-eighth of its own crop. Germany is an extensive grower of tobacco, but imports two and a half times as much as it cultivates and does not export any. France raises considerable tobacco under government supervision and imports great quantities of the milder Virginia tobacco to keep up the quality of the cigarettes and other products made under the state monopoly. Both France and Spain keep buyers in this market. Not For Strangers. "What in the world does that mean?" asked the traveler through a sparsely settled region on the Cape. "There's no such place on my road map." The man whom he addressed first took a leisurely survey of the traveler and his horse and then turned his eyes toward the weatherbeaten sign, which bore the single word "Tolpom." "That ain't a name," he said, with dignity; "it's jest an indication. It means 'To Long pond one mile.' It's plain enough to folks from nearby that's hunting for the pond, and we don't reckon on strangers taking much interest."—Youth's Companion. A Master of One Art. "Have you ever loved any other girls?" breathed the maiden tremu Freeman the Historian. It was an English bishop who, when the historian Freeman had worn out his patience with his rudeness, introduced him to a waiting audience as "the distinguished scholar that so admirably describes and illustrates the savagery of our ancestors." The Result. "Dear me, girls! What on earth is that peculiar sweetish smell in the air all over the house?" "Why. Geraldine is burning her old love letters in the furnace."—Baltimore American. Enforced Truthfulness. Biobbs—Wigwag is the most truthful man I know. Slobbs—Yes. Wigwag has such a bad memory he has to stick to the truth.—Philadelphia Record. SATURDAY. Judge Ira E. Robinson Candidate publican Nor Governor 2 Candidate For the Republican Nomination For Governor of W. Va. To the People of West Virginia: As is generally known, I am a candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor of West Virginia, at the primary on June 6th. I respectfully solicit the vote of every citizen who believes in those sound policies of statesmanship for which the Republican party is preeminent. In view of my public career, it seems needless to say that no individual, faction, or interest is sponsor for my candidacy. I am a candidate at the insistence of good and worthy citizens in every quarter of the state, whose call I deemed it a duty to answer. It is gratifying that I have the support of men regardless of their former affiliations I stand for efficient public service, through a reunited party, and have "charity for all, entangling alliances with none." If nominated and elected Governor, as I have the faith that I shall be, it will be my endeavor at all times to promote the fair name of my native state, and impartlally and deliberately to administer its affairs as the representative of all the people. I shall demand econo: my without parsimony, and prog. ress without radicalism. As far as in me lies, I shall insist upon full return for every dollar of the state's money expended. I think my past record vouches the fact that I shall be firm in my Press. 19, 1916. own conclusions, after respectful and mature consideration of the opinions of others. At all times I shall seek the right, recognizing that he serves his party best who served his country best. Many good policies have in recent years been put into the statutes of our state by the beneficent mind of the Republican party. Permit me to say that beyond the perfecting of the laws we now have, I am not of opinion that we at present need extensive new legislation. What we need now is active and business like co-operation for the uplift of West Virginia; for the development of her resources; for the realization of her needs. Good faith among men is itself law. I have made no promises to retain anybody now in office, nor to appoint anybody who is out. My conception of our state government is greater than a view that it is a mere organization for the distribution of patronage. In this mere incident to government, I shall demand above all else absolute efficiency. As a candidate for the nomination my platform is the simple code of truth and honor which I learned in a plain farm house among our hills years ago; as the nominee of the Republican party, my platform will be that made by the party in convention assembled; as Governor of West Virginia, my platform will be the Constitution of the State and the laws made by the people in pursuance thereof. Requesting the thoughtful consideration of every voter, I am Respectfully, Ira E. Robinson. Grafton, West Virginia. February 14, 1916. FEBRUARY Eighteen years ago—Feb. 15, 1898, the Maine was blown up in Havana harbor "Remember the Maine" at once became the battle cry that roused the militant nation. It was the call to arms that precipitated one of the briestest wars in history, but a war that in the space of 100 days altered the map of both hemispheres, wresting from Spain her colonial empire alike in the West Indies and in the far East and made the United States of America a world power of the first magnitude. The maintop of the vessel, which until a few years ago rose as a sentinel above the waters of Havana harbor, now forms the crowning part of a monument erected in honor of the heroes at Arlington cemetery. Today there is a new Maine floating about the seas to help us not to forget, if such a thing were necessary, to "Remember the Maine." The keel of the old Maine was laid at the Brooklyn navy yard on Oct. 17, 1888. She was constructed from plans which the Navy Department purchased in England. Her displacement was 6,680 tons when ready for active service, and she drew a little more than 21 feet of watter. The new Maine is about double her predecessors size with a displacement of 12,000 tons. The bodies of the American sailors who lost their lives in the blowing up of the Maine were brought to this country shortly after the Spanish American war and were interred in the beautiful Arlington cemetery at Washington, D. C., where every year their graves are profusely decorated with flowers and appropriate ceremonies are conducted on decoration day. ART OF BAIT CASTING. Landing the Lure That Coaxes the Battling Black Bass. The bait caster! What memories of lilypadded lakes, shimmering in the burnished, gold of the setting sun, of a roscate twilight peace, when the lake is one vast mirror; of furious battles with that bulldog of the sweet waters, the black bass, are his! A most difficult art, one that requires more, than a modicum of practice to acquire—to place that lure precisely, in a given spot, forty or fifty feet away, where a bass may lurk—not near the spot but right in it, mind you—to land that lure so as to simulate a frog or minnow naturally leaping or jumping to escape possible attack by a bass; to do all this with a short rod and high speed reel—casting the lure as a small boy throws an apple from the end of a stick—to do this with accuracy and deftness is no unworthy ambition. And after the strike comes a battle between a five pound fish and a 150 pound man, equalized by fair tackle, that will put the exhibition of eternal youth into any man—especially if he proves himself worthy to beat the fish at his own game—to take him with all the hindpieces imposed by the necessary tackle and win out against all the snags, tactics, leaps and plunges, rushes and feints employed by the battling bass—Warren H. Miller in American Forestry. He Provad It. "My dear child," said the fond mother, "if you marry Henry, do you think he will have the force to lift himself above his fellow men to a level with you?" "Why, of course I do, mamma. Don't you remember how he climbed the eight stories to our apartment the other night when the elevator was broken?" —St. Louis Post-Dispatch. NO. 50 Entered in Post Office at Martins- burg, W. Va. as Second Class Matter. J. R. Clifford, Editor and Proprietor. Drawer 869, and Bell 'Phone 60K. Martinsburg, W. Va. SATURDAY FEBRUARY 19 1916 T. R. says there are two things Woodrow Wilson fears—the Kaiser and himself. Any and every one who preaches a hell-fire religion is a fool and ought to be made to use a pick and shovel to lighten the burdens of horse-flesh. Who is this loud frothy-mouth 6 foot raven, breath-catching, ditty-singing, dancing and prancing, sweating and smelling celluloid collar dignitary Pannel of the Nation's Capitol? What a pity that it's quantity and not intelligent christian quality that fully nine-tenths of Negro churches or their hell-fire preaching preachers want, because and only because there is more penny religion for them. When America's greatest lawyer Elihu Root, who neither hugs nor kisses Theodore Roosevelt, declares him the fittest of the living to be made President of this country wonders have been said and done. True, he has done things unapproved by us, nevertheless we are for him for President. Hell and the devil as we see it are in man, and especially jeckleg sky-pilots. What fool would hold up his hand that he wanted to go to an imaginary fiery region? Heven is a condition, not a place and he who hasn't it in him here below will enjoy none of it hereafter. John Veney's prayer suits Clifford: "Lord give us and increase that kind of religion that works no evil to our neighbors." A shaven fire when a freezing man is almost dying is as lasting and beneficial as is this sheer nonsense and crass ignorant hellfire conversion to the real salvation of souls. Religion is a growth and can only be worked out, and as every man must pay his honest debts to his fellow man, so must every soul account to its giver for its conduct, and he who by ranting and snorting deceives the credulous to get dollars and cents, ought to be well singed in a man-made brimstone fire. Strange things are happening. Not long ago, a doctor to cure muscular rheumatism freely applied ether to one of the lower limbs of a colored woman. The pain was relieved, but on looking at the affected part it was white. She took it good naturedly, but went to the doctor pretending she was going to sue him for damages, all of which ended in laughter. Not so, however. with a contrary case of remote occurrence. Another doctor in trying to relieve the pain of a white woman, turned her black and she sued the doctor for damages, although he cured her. Her reason for suing is: "the humiliation she is forced to undergo is too much for her to endure." Millions of colored women just as good as she, have lived, suffered and died and are suffering and dying under far worse "humiliation" than she "can't stand." March 12th, prox is Georgia's set day for prayer to pray lynching into eternal oblivion, or the rabble's hell. It will amount to about as much as the devil's brass in confronting the Son of God believing that by his seductive schemes Jesus would grant his request, but He looked him squarely in the face and said: "Get thee behind me Satan, for it is written thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." So will the Georgia lynchers tell the prayers. Do you recall Tourgee's Sunday set for prayer and how on that day the lynchers killed seven innocent Negroes and mocked at prayer? The best way to get rid of lynching in Georgia is for every home to keep and be empowered to use trusty Winchesters. It has come to that, and that alone will cure the desperate crime, for true as truth is right, effective prayer is effective work. Massachusetts has led off in the right. Regardless of color, said state will educate her youth free of cost. Suppose every state, or the United States, would do the same, what a glorious country we would have. Therein lies Germany's power—even if bent in the wrong way. Behold a hundred million people educated to love and defend one another with devotion for the flag and land, would there be need for fear of foreign usurpation? The Negroes have been this country's best soldiers in ignorance - yes fresh from the slave pens. Suppose they were all educated, would they not be a thousand per cent, better soldiers, patriots and citizens? Should we have a war will not their ignorance, along with whites who are as ignorant as the colored folks, and fully five times more ignorant whites than colored, be unable to do in war as they have done in peace - look to be told what and how to do. Not so with Japan, France and Germany. If officers fall, their places can be filled from the ranks, and that must be this country's condition. Mark our word that a war with America will be so brutally shocking that the scene of Knob Hill during the San Francisco earthquake, will be in evidence most everywhere. Then if fear draws us close together, why not live and act like men and women, growing up together in love, honor, intelligence and loyalty for a flag that knows no race or color and has nothing better for one than the other? ANOTHER FLY-BY-NIGHT PULPIT SUPLEJACK Again, Martinsburg is cursed by a jckassical braying pulpit sky-pilot and it is humiliating. His method of reclamation means damnation. It is a disgrace to morals, society, religion and to homemaking. His only stock in trade is to scare and coerce the "hell-fearing" folk to the mourner's bench. He is a crafty namby-pamby blatherskite dressed in a broad cloth coat shy of his sheetops, with lining or shirt showing through a worn part of its right sleeve, and a glossy celluloid collar that dazzles under the gas light. He works himself up into a perspiring frenzy, when he begins, and to us, truly represents Senator Faulkner's well known animal which is noted for the "heehawing" that he does. In the midst of his dancing and prancing antics, he starts up a jig-like ditty, then like a nincompoop, shuffles down the aisle, wet with sweat. If he could be soused into a vat of lye hopper home-made soap, the atmosphere would be decidedly improved. He goes to persons appealing in an ignorant, sing-song an breath-catching manner grabs the hands and does his best to for them up front to give them a saving grace of high perfume. In this condition he came to us and said: "is you got religious? Our reply was: I think so. "Think so" he yelled out, "what right have you to think?" then muttered out something about him, daddy" and referring to my "gray head" and "hair" said: "You have no right in here, you're a disgrace to the church. I don't care for you, you are the kind I like to get hold of," &e., &e. It the pastor caused such a back number to come here, butcher up the King's English, rant, dance and snort in his pulpit and allows him to iusult decent people, his grip is lost. That is one thing Rev. S. M. Beane has never done during his eight years stay here—invited or allowed this class of human devils to disgrace his church and pulpit. But why say more, for we have always made it a rule to stay as far from a certain bushy tailed animal as possible. ACCIDENTS OF FORTUNE. Incidents That Led to the Rise of Two Famous Dramatic Stars. More than 200 years ago a dramatist, sitting in the bar of a London tavern, overheard a girl in the next room reading aloud from a play book, and he was so much pleased by the sound of her voice and the fluency and sprightliness of her delivery that he sought acquaintance with her, obtained her confidence and opened for her the way to a successful dramatic career. That girl, a dramatic genius thus accidentally discovered, was Anne Oldfield, who adorned the English stage for twenty-five years, whose ashes rest in the cloister of Westminster abbey and whose name is one of historic renown. A theatrical manager in Cincinnati in the seventies, having planned to produce a popular comic opera with a chorus composed of pupils from the public schools, selected Sarah Frost, then a girl about twelve, perceived her theatrical aptitude and provided the opportunity for its development. The manager was Robert E. 6. Miles, and under his direction she made her first appearance on the stage and passed her juvenile noviate. Her stage name at first was Fanny Brough. Later she adopted that of Julia Marlowe. — William Winter in Century Magazine. BENEFITS FROM BOOKS. Traveling Along the Roads That Lead Us into Other Worlds. The benefit of literature can hardly be overestimated. Books enlarge a man's horizon. They raise a mirage of water brooks and date palm to travelers in the desert. They are "the sick man's health, the prisoner's release." Shut within a narrow routine of dull necessity, sad at heart in a world where wrong triumphs, where beau has no assurance of respect, where humanity toils terribly merely for its daily bread or the satisfaction of trivial appetites, the earthly pilgrim need do no more than pick up a book and, lo, he steps into another world. Here he is free from sorrow and care, free from the burden of his body, from envy, jealousy, contempt, self satisfaction, from vain regrets, from wishes that can never wear the livery of hope, from narrowness of soul and hardness of heart. He may mingle in the society of the good and great; he may listen to the wise man and the prophet; he may see all the conditions of human happiness and misery; he may watch the human spirit in its strife with circumstances nobly conquer or basely succumb; he may go down through the "gate of a hundred sorrows" or accompany Dante and Beatrice through the spheres of paradise.—Atlantic Monthly.

A DCCTOR’S HOBBY.

Peebles bad been experimenting with the muscies and had arrived at whai his associates termed a furtastic no Hon that some sort of operation could be performed on the leg of the human cunner so that his specd could be in creased. Leapers and high jumpers were his hobby. and in the course of five years it was estimated that he had exnmined the leg muscles of nearly a thousand men, making comparisons wiih! the running and leaping muscies of the frog, the deer, the greyhound and other animals. Peebles was a man of means, and after he had succeeded in inducing half a dozen athletes of reputation to “will him their legs” the attention of surgeons Was attracted. ‘They took the matter under consideration at one of thelr quarterly meetines and warned Peebles they would have him commit ted to a sanitarium if he continued his strane pursnit. Peebles detied them, and they had a commission appointed. While his sanity was being tested Peo. Dies died. In his will he bequenthed his brain to the commission. — Es change.

It Aids Digestion and Tends to Good Health and Long Life. There are people who take life too seriously. They allow their souls to be eaten up with cares and anxieties. Many worries are useless and help nothing. Bits of humor are lost on these persons. They wonder how any one can be so thoughtless about the realities of life. In all the animal creation laughter is given to man alone, given him, like all other faculties, to make the best of. Laughter, it is true, is not for all times and occasions, but it has its place and is necessary to our well being. A laugh is a cure for many fills. It aids digestion and so tends to good health. It prolonges life. Laughter often settles a disagreement and prevents real troubles. Hard working business and professional men sometimes forget to laugh. The strain of work grips them hard, and they get old before their time. The ability to see the humorous side of an accident, a mistake or a folly, is a great aid in making life more endurable. Laughter overdone, like all virtues carried to excess, is a vice or a folly. Cultivate your sense of humor. Better to laugh too often than not to laugh often enough. Who laughs knows no defeat. BREAKING INTO PRINT. One Writer's First Little Check and the Way He Spent It. Richard Harding Davis, says the London Strand Magazine, is one of those fortunate men whose short stories can always command a thousand dollars and over. How he "broke into print" is an interesting little history. "It was while at Lehigh university," he says, "that I earned my first sum for writing. It was a description of a cune rush at the university, and I sent it to a local paper. It was published, and a few days later I received a check for the large sum of $1.15. I have received larger checks since then, but the biggest of them never gave me the thrill that that one did. "Just as soon as I cashed that check I sallied out to buy 'something' with it—I had no idea what—and in my search I found two very nice looking candlesticks which, I think, were about the price of the story I had sold. I bought them. They were made of brass and seemed very solid and handsome. One I sent to my mother, and the other I kept for myself. They are still in existence, I believe, a shining witness to the first fracture I made in my youthful endeavor to 'break into print.'" Fright and White Hair The popular belief that the hair of persons laboring under great mental grief or terror changes color seems to be unfounded. Under certain conditions of bodily health the coloring matter of the hair ceases to be supplied, and the hair may consequently become gray or white in a very short time. In these cases, however, it is only the growing hair that has no color, the hair as it gradually rises from the root is gray, while that which is outside the cuticle remains its original color. No well authenticated case of sudden change in the color of the hair is mentioned in the "Transactions of the Royal Society," extending over 200 years, whereas if any such circumstance had occurred it is almost certain it would have been recorded. The case of Marie Antoinette, which is most frequently cited, does not rest upon evidence sufficiently strong to warrant belief.—Philadelphia Press. THE UNIVERSE Our Own Starlar System and What May Be Beyond It. In one of the latest conceptions of astronomers the stellar universe has a diameter of 10,000 to 15,000 light years, with a thickness of 2,000 to 3,000, and our sun has a place a little removed from the center. It embraces 30,000,000 to 50,000,000 stars within the range of telescopic visibility, with dark and invisible bodies whose number cannot be computed. So far as can be determined the stars are surprisingly uniform in mass, the range of variation being not more than fiftyfold, but in density the range is from more than twice that of the sun to only one-millionth and in absolute luminosity or brightness from 3,000 times that of the sun to about one three-thousandth. The temperature rises from near absolute zero in the nebulae to 20,000 degrees C. in certain giant hot stars. It is suggested that our universe may be not the only one and that the small Magellanic cloud, for instance, perhaps 30,000 light years distant, may be a relatively small universe of about 1,000 light years in diameter. Another separate star system at similar distance is possibly, astronomers hold, the Andromeda nebula.—Newark News.

Except for the water necessary to hydrate it is pure lime. It is easy to handle and spread. Its fineness makes it economical. One ton of lime to the acre If UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED would make a layer only 1-300 inch in thickness. Lime MUST be uniformly distributed and therefore VERY FINELY DIVIDED in order to reach the rootlets of the crops and accomplish its work. BERKELEY Hydrate will practically all pass a sieve with 10,000 holes to the square inch. This is the reason why 1-2 ton to the acre of BERKELEY Hydrate will accomplish the same results as double the quantity of lump lime slaked in the field. Security Cement & Lime Co.

Care Without Climate Is Better Than Climate Without Care. A bulletin of the North Carolina state board of health gives out the following bit of advice to consumptives, especially to those who are prone to go away to take the "climate cure." It says: "Care without climate is a far better cure for tuberculosis than climate without care, and unless one has the price for both he had better remain at home and have the best care that he can afford." The reason for this advice is found in the now well known fact that consumption can be cured anywhere. "And because this is true," says the bulletin, "it is far better for a patient of moderate means to remain at home and take treatment at a nearby sanitarium than it is for him to seek some advertised climate or resort without means to secure the proper care and treatment that his disease demands and that he might otherwise have. "Rest, complete rest, freedom from worry or care, is now considered perhaps the most vital factor in the cure of tuberculosis, and this the tubercular traveler with moderate means is not likely to have. The secret of the climate cure, after all," advises the bulletin, "is living out in the open air day and night, and this is as practical in North Carolina as much of the year as in many of the western states. "Taking the cure is much of a game, anyway. If you play to win you win; if you are careless and indifferent you are more likely to lose than to win." A BOY AND HIS FUTURE. The Serious Matter of the Selection of a Suitable Career. Given a basis of good character, good health and thoroughness, the choice of SECURITY CEMENT AND LIME BERKELEY PRODUCTS BERKELEY W.VA 02211 life work is the next great influence upon a boy. Many parents foredoom their son to failure by trying to force him to gratify their ambitions in a calling for which he has neither interest nor ability instead of helping him to develop his own individuality. The false idea that there is social distinction in certain professions is the basis of many failures that might have been successes in other callings. Wherever we look we see failures, many of whom were men of undoubted ability, whose talents were misdirected. You whose sons have their future all before them can guard against shipwreck by studying their taste, directing their abilities and discussing with them the problem of their future. If you cannot afford to see them through a long term of training for some profession discuss the matter freely so that they will appreciate the necessity of turning their interest into other channels—unless they can work their way through their training without impairment of health.—Isaac Dedham in Mother's Magazine. The Glare of Light. Persons who shrink from the glare of light, as distinguished from those who shrink from light itself, suffer from what Dr. Ernest Clarke calls photoangiophobia. It is due to deficiency in the pigment of the retina and is especially marked in albino's. Sir William Crookes invented a glass that cuts off the infra red as well as the ultra violet rays, which cause the trouble. The Medical Record says that any one with a tendency to shrink from the glare should be careful to shade his eyes with a suitable cap, should work or read with well shaded lights; his desk should never face a window, and his apartments should be decorated in cool neutral tints, dull sage green being the best.
