The Trial* of the Czar. It is certain that the czar cannot possess his father's iron constitution,' and certain, too, that he is and if the present system endures he must rcnnrn terribly overworked. It is not only that he must do work, sedentary work with papers, for eight or ten hours a day, like an English barrister or physician in greht practice, but that the kind of I work is so exhausting to the nerves. It is bad enough to be viceroy of India, with 200 or 800 executive orders to sign in a week, 10 per cent of which may “ipake” or nearly ruin individuals, but a viceroy is protected from doing too much harm by immutable laws, customs and responsibilities to the ultimate home authority. The “supremo order’’ of the czar, as it is called, has the force of lav.’, cannot in numerous cases be dispensed with, and in others almost as numerous affects great interests, great political movements or the fate of persons to whom enormous powers are necessarily intrusted. Every such order requires an effort of the mind. People talk of autocrats as if they were necessarily demons, but in reality they are men of business, harsh or gentle as temperament may incline, but still most anxious that their policy or administration or special fad should succeed and increase either the dignity or the happiness of the empire they are set to rule. It is almost impossible for a man in weak health to fill such a post without occasionally breaking down, and as every breakdown is for many 1 purposes an interregnum reports as to ' the czar's health are studied and invented, as in England are reports that the majority is revolting. Some of them may be true or all of them may be false, but none of them can be trusted unless confirmed by official or professional admissions. —London Spectator. A Migratory Journal. The new journalism is not confined to America. Two young Frenchmen, members of the “fourth estate, ” arrived in this city early last week on a tour of the world, which is a rather unusual example of journalistic enterprise, They are MM. J. Leroy and H. Papillaud, who left Paris two years ago without a cent in their pockets and have supported themselves throughout the tour by professional work. In each considerable city where they stop they issue an edi-; tion of a paper called En Route, the business and editorial offices of which are located “in the world. ’’ It is a ten pqgfi paper, copiously illustrated from photographs which they take by the way, and it contains articles describing their tour printed An French, in the vernacular of the country in which the issue is published and, in the case of East Indian, Japanese and ChineM cities, in English also. The paper is quite a journalistic curio. The publishers have received generous support from advertisers in all countries, adit they state that their circulation ranges from 5,000 to 10,000 copies.—San Francisco Argonaut.

CHILDREN’S EYES. A PHYSICIAN ON THE IMPORTANCE OF CARING FOR THEM. Disposition* Sometimes Affected by Trouble of the Eycxlglit Benefits of U*ing Properly Adjusted Gliu*e«— Valuable Advice to Parent*. About two years ago a ladv brought two of her sons, aged respectively 9 and 11, tome to have their eyes examined to see if glasses were needed. She had taken this step partially on my invitation and as a matter of precaution, as she was well aware that both herself and her husband had defective eyes, and some of her children were already wearing ' glasses for troubles whidti were without doubt hereditary. In answer to questions about the general health of the children, their disposition, complaints they made regarding headache, etc., she made the following statement: “I really am puzzled to know what to do with the older boy. He seems so irritable and cross after a few days at school, and he always seems to be spoiling for a fight. His health seems very good, with the exception of headache after study, but he is not nearly as far advanced in school for his age as is his younger brother.” After making a careful examination I prescribed glasses for the older one, but told the mother that the younger one did not need them at the present time. I did not see anything of the children or the mother for six months, at which time, when meeting the mother, she told me the glasses had worked a marvelous change in her son, and he wore them constantly and could not bear to be without them. He was now picking up in his school work and was better natural than she had ever known him before. This child is only one of many thousands in ofir schools today who are having their dispositions ruined and are called dull and stupid by their parents and teachers through no fault of their own. Being perhaps born with a defect in sight, they do not know of any different world from that which they see through defective eyes, consequently cannot relate their troubles to their parents, as they are entirely unconscious of their defect. Therefore I wish to emphasize most emphatically that it is the duty of all parents and teachers to mark very closely any peculiarity that children may have in looking at objects at a long distance or close at band, such as squinting their eyes, frowning, looking sidewise from partially closed eyes and particularly regarding the distance at which they hold their reading matter from their eyes, for it is natural for a child, or for a grown person, for that matter, who has normal sight to hold clearly printed reading matter about 15 inches from his eyes. Should this be varied to any extent, such as drawing the reading quite close to the eyes or holding it at arm’s length, it is almost a sure sign that there is something wrong. People who have strong eyes usually have but little sympathy for those who are less fortunate in this respect. The necessity of glasses to assist a child in school work, which will put it on a more even footing with the other students, is not appreciated by many parents who are otherwise thoughtful and considerate of the welfare of their children, and who are in many cases undergoing privations that their children may secure an education. Do not be too ready to judge these children as having a fad for glasses or wishing to wear them because some of their playmates do. Better be a little overcautious in having the child’s eyes examined than to take too much responsibility in this matter in your own hands, for no honest optician will advise you to put glasses on a child unless they are sure to prove an advantage. Another point which I think should be proclaimed loud and long to the different parents is the ra&t that nine of every ten cases of strabismus (cross eyes) existing among children under the age of 12 can be wholly cured by the very simple and painless method of wearing glasses, whereas if this matter is left until the child has reached maturity it requires a painful operation, which in the majority of cases is not altogether successful then, for it is not alone the matter of appearance that the parents are responsible for. But children who are cross eyed and allowed to remain in this condition any length of time are almost certain to lose the use of one eye wholly or in part, owing to the length of time they are allowed to go in this way. Very few children are born cross eyed, and almost every mother Will tell you that this misfortune was due to some sickness, a fall or something of the kind which happened when they were beginning to walk, when in reality the accident or sickness only marked the time that the child first began to use its eyes to discriminate small objects, and the straining of the eyes to see caused them to cross.

Another reason why many children are allowed to grow up cross eyed is because physicians in general practice have heretofore been so grossly ignorant of these subjects that they have informed the mother that the child would probably outgrow this trouble. This is a mistake. Cross eyes are produced by straining the sight and very rarely, if ever, are outgrown. Babies sometimes have the appearance of being slightly cross eyed, Owing to the formation of the lids when jthey are very small. This, of course/may be outgrown. But when parepts notice their child’s eyes cross temporarily when looking at an object close at even though they remain so for a few moments only, they will use the best of judgment in having the matter investigated at once. Do not think that an operation will do away with wearing glasses in these cases, for glasses almost invariably go with an operation, and you cannot change this matter, however much you may wish to do so.—Dr. W. I. Seymour in Omaha World-Herald.
