this trent is "rcuile cataract," although
the name is not well chosen, for erten
It occurs in irulividual., otherwise vise
teems and giving nv other manifest
eigns of senility.
It sore etinies occurs in those suffering
from Bright's dsease or diabetes, but
more commonly afflicts those who are
otherwise seerningly in perfect health,
end who present no other signs of mal-
nutrition.
Heredity seems sometimes to be an
active cause of the opacity of the lens,
but how 14 acts is ns great a mystery
as many other pacts of tate hereditary
ttanami siotr of personal characteristics
Or of tendency to disease. 11. may in-
deed be that heredity has no part in the
causation of the disease, and its succes-
sive appearance in parent and child
May be a mere coincidence.
Both eyes are usually simultaneously
affected, although the disease may oc-
casionally be more advanced in one eye
than tate other, and rarely one eye alone
may be affected. h► the latter case,
however, the cataract is more common-
ly due to accident.
Operation for the relief of this con-
dition is usually not undertaken until
the aatoract is 'ripe," that is, until the
loss of transparency affects the entire
lens. A person with simple cataract 's
blind only so far as the distinction of
objects is concerned. but still retains
the perception of light. If the sufferer
is unable to distinguish between light
and darkness, there is sonic other dis-
ease present.
There are three kinds of operation for
the relief of cataract, but this is riot

WASPS DIE IN iIOT WATER.
A Pointer on plow to Kill the Pest, fes
Told by a Farmer.
"Most people think of hornets and
yellow jackets as strictly country pro-
ducts, but as a fact, the big vegetable
genitals in the south-western part CI
the city are very well supplied with
both." says a fernier.
"Of course, at this season of the year
they give very little trouble, but in the
areutnn, .whin tall ploughing is in pro-
givss. it is a very common Thing to
turn up a nest of ground wasps and
then there Is generally a runaway in
Iwo directions, for, the wasps are
tempered when disturbed, attack both
the farmer and he horse; the latter
lakes one direction and the fanner
snakes tracks in another.
"It is a very easy smatter to extermin-
ate the wasps before beginning to
plow, so when a gardener notices (here
1, a nest of theta anywhere on his
lend, he prepares for then( before 1 e
plows. He takes a common earthen.

water, sets it down close to the mouth
.,f the wasps' nest, puts on a pair et
groves. covers his head and neck with
a handkerchief under his hat, gives the
Test a poke with a long pole, and runs.
The angry wasps come out by hundreds,
aseeing nothing unusual but the jug,

merits. The choice will depend upon diving down through the narrow neck,

ONIONS AS GERM KILLERS.
Not long ago a Scotch teacher gave
this advice to her pupils: "if you have
cholera or scarlet fever In the house
put same onions under the bcd and they
will sweep away all disease." The oa-
ten proved its virtue in a remarkable
Weir enemy is hidden inside. The hot
water kills Them. but those that aro
ot inunediately drowned, keep up a
'tremendous buzzing. which seems to :tx-
nspernte still further all the wasps
within hearing, and it looks as though
they can't get into the jug fast enough.
"I have several tunes taken over a
thousand drowned wasps out of the
jug after a raid, for so long as a wasp
is left, he stakes for the mouth of the
jug, and the whole nest can be exter-
minated In this way. It is a queer if -
way forty years ago, when cholera lush -alien of stupidity on the pert of
raged throughout London. it was noticed in otherwise intelligent insect, but the
with surprise that one of the most in-
sanitary districts ' was almost exempt,
from the visitation. The majority of
the inhabitants, being Italians, were
great onion eaters, and strings of this
vegetable were found suspended from
the ceiling of nearly every room. The
medical ollleer of health concluded that
the onion, oolong its many virtues, con-
tains a powerful antidote against chol•
eia morbus and possibly other diseases.
HOUSEHOLD REMEDIES.
Salt and soda are excellent for bee
stings and spider bite.
If a chill should get pepper or an
other smarty thing in Its eyes, apply
sweet milk or cream at once.
Te relieve acute pain, wherever ex-
ternal applications can be used, apply
n pepper plaster; one part red pepper,
leo parts flour; inis with warm water;
sI•renl on a thin cloth and cover with
dry flannel or thick cloth. This does
not blister as quickly us a mustard
;taster, and is efficient in relieving neu-
1algic or rheumatic pains.

The unusual position of strenpdh

newer banks alight well follow. This
results naturally, of course, from the
Merchants Bank being fortunate enough
to have on its Board of Directors and
among its Oficcrs many names et
prominence in Cnnndian financial
(circles.

of course, everything to do with its

As n result of traditionally careful
nianngenlent the combined reserve
