CATARACT.

more commonly afflicts these who are

eferedity seems sometimes to be an
active. cause of the opacity of the lens,
MA hew it eats is as great a mystery
xis many otitis', facts of the hereditary
ttansmIssion of personal characteristics
or of tendency to diseese, It may in-
deed be that heredity has no part in the
causation of the disease, and its succes-
sive appearance in paren1, and child
may be a mere colneidence.
Both eyes are usually simultaneously
affected, although Lite disease may oc-
casionally be more advanced 111 One eyo
than the other, and rarely one eye alone
may be affected. to the latter case,
bowever, the catered is more common-
ly due to accident.
Operation• for the relief of this con -
Mon is usually not undertaken until
the cataract 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 sell settees
the ,perception of light. If the sufferer
Is unable to distinguish between light
and darkness, there is some other dis-
ease present.
There am three kinds of operation for
the relief of cataract, but this is nob
the place to discuss their relative
merits. The choice will depend upon
circumstances and must, lie left bo the
decision of the surgeon. .A. fair degree
of vision is usually obtained from oper-
ation. --Youth's Companion.
ONIONS AS GERM KILLERS.
Ni long ago a Scotch teacher gave
this advice to her pupils: "If you hate
cholera or scarlet fever in the house
put some onions under the bed and they
will sweep away all disease.'' The on. -
Ion moved Its virtue in a remarkable
way forty years ago, when cholera
nod throughout London. Itwasnoliced
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. Tho
medical officer of health concluded that
the onion, among Ms many virtues, con-
tains a pewerful antidote against chol-
era morbus and possibly other diseases,

WASPS DIE IN HOT WATER.
IA Pointer on How to IOU the Post, as
Told by a Farmer.
"Most people think of hornets and
yellow Jackets as strictly country pro-
ducts, but as a tact, the big vegetable
gardens in the south-western part of
the city are very well 'supplied with
both." says a farmer.
• "Of oourse, at this season of the year
they give very little trouble, but In the
aulumn, when fall ploughing is in. pro-
gress. it is a very common thing to
turn up a nest of ground wasps and
enen there is generally a runaway In
two directions, for, the wasps are 111 -
tempered when disturbed, attack both
the lamer and his horse; the latter
hikes one direction and the farmer
'makes. tracks In another.
"IL is a very easy matter extermin-
ele the wasps before beginning lo
plow, so when a gardener notices there
le a nest of them anywhere on his
lend, he prepares for them before 16
plows. He takes a common earthen -
'10008 jug, about halfefuIl of very hot
sels it down close to the 11)0(1111
of the wasps' nest, puts on a pair cf
gloves, covers his head and neck with
a handkerchief under his hat, gives the
nest a poko with a long pole, and runs,
The angry wasps come out, by hundreds,
and seeing nothing unusual but the jug,
they attack It with might and main,
;diving down through the narrow neck,
apparently under the Impression that
their enemy 0flC51 1s hidden Inside. The hot
waiter kills therm but those that are
'cot immediately drowned, keep up a
'tremendous buzzing, which scenes to 3X-
nsperale still further all the wasps
within hearing, and It looks as though
they can't get into the jug lest enough.
"I have several times taken over a
thousand drowned wasps out of the
lug after a raid, for so long as a wasp
is left, he melees for the month of the
jug, and the whole nest •can be exter-
minated in this way. IL is a queer il-
lustration of stupidity on the part of
en otherwise intelligent insect, but the
Wok never fails to work."

progress and safety for the depositor.

management the combined reserve

Merchants Bank thee this year reached
the splendid total of sip,000.000. The

evening, was asked by his wife to look

had been silent all day, and she could
not tell the reason.
Her husband took it down and exam -

Next he blew into It with a bellows,
oiled the wheels, and put it back again.
But still it would not strike. Tired and
,puzzled, he went oft to bed.
Next morning at breakfast his wife

"Well, what is it?" he sharply asked.
