"There is probably no one subject por-
tainlng to the human bodydess understood
than the eye,” said Dr. Dufour, physician
in charge of the eye department of the
eastern dispensary, "and it seems to be
less understood how necessary it is to seek
advlco early from a skilled oculist when
the eyes need attention. As to perfect
vision, it is rare, especially among thoso
who live in large cities. Investigations
which I have made, aswell as those of
other oonlists, have proved this fact—«that
only one—fifth, or about 20 per cent, of eyes
examined had perfect vision. Notice the
number of persons you meet wearing
glasses. They are not old people. On the
contrary, they are young. runny of thorn
children. You will be convinced by this
that more persons have defective vision
than you supposed. and that perfect eye-
sight is the cxcoption and not the mic.
"Nogloct of tho cyos in infancy or at an
early ago is often the cause of bad cyc-
sight. They are rnoro sensitive tollght at
that time than at a mature age. Children
are oftt-n taken out of doors with their lit-
tle faces unprotected from tho bright sun-
light or amnllowul at night to atom at
the gas or lamplight for hours. This is
all wrong. The child’s eyes should be
{inducted from the glare of light of any
kind. Should this he neglected, an im-
pairment of the vision may result.
"’i'hore is a disease of the eyes incidont
to the first week of infancy which has
caumi a large per cont of blimlnoss. it is
very insidious in ltsoppnmch. Most moth-
crs suppose tho baby has only taken cold
and often postpone consulting. on mtulist
until great and often irreparable injury
has bwn dono. This is a disease that (mm-
mrnccs as an inflammation of the mucus
one membrane that linos tho cyclids. and
unless chucked will attack the cornea and
partially or totally dostmy vision.
"Children’s eyes are often impaired by a
'nrk schoclrtxnn, where they are compelled
to strain thorn in using them; also from
studying by artificial light. The position
of the head while using tho oycs has an
effect upon them. The dependent position
while leaning forward to road, together
with the constant straining. will produce

“It'I dlfllcnlt, " lag! that Jolly little jolt.
er. Marshall P. Wll er, in urecent chat,
“to string together cohemotly new lasts
and Jokes In a formal interview. Humor.
ous efforts, as you know, do not strike any
two people in Just the some way. Much
depends upon the occasion to make a play-
ful turn of words effective, especiallyto
an audience. For instance, last year in
Flint, Mich, I gave vent to a spontaneous
rcmark that elicited more applause than
anything else I said during the evening.
Just as I was approaching the footllghtl
to begin my monologue the electric lights
went out and left the house in total dark~
nose. Panning a few seconds for the return
of the light which vo dismal! failed to
givcus Illumination, said: ‘ dies and
gentlemen, this is a terrible predicament
for me. I fear you will be unable to see
my jokos.’ But tho audience very prompt-
ly saw that one and gave me a warm wel~
come. Before they had finished their
handcinpplng and laughter tho electric
lights again wore all in harmonious opera-
tion.
“Speaking of the difference between
English and American humor, hero is an
anecdote which perfectly illustrates it. An
Englishman, a new arrival in New York,
meets an American friend on the stmot
and says, ‘i-low do you fool, old chap?’
‘Out of sight,’ replies the American. ‘And
what may that really mean, y'knowl’ in-
quires tho puzzled liritishor. The Ameri-
can onters into ulabored explanation of
tho clsatluntlo idiom, \vhorcupon the
gentleman from London, still somewhat
puzzled, hut evidently satisfied, exclaims,
‘Very droll and clcvuh, don’t y'kncw.‘ A
few days lutor some one asks the English-
man how ho fools by way of greeting, and
this Is his response: 'Pon my ward, old
chop, you cnwn't soc me. y'know.’
“But, after all," continued Mr. Wilder.
“tho English are very loyal to their
friends. Fortunately in England I have
a number of admirers. When I was last
over there, I met one of them who said to
me in a most confidential way, ‘Mr. Wild-
cr, those were very funny things you told
us lost your.’ You soc, it takes about a
year for a good Amorlcan joke or anecdote
to germinate in English soil and bear any
kind of fruit."
At this point lacked him wliencc he
derived his best appreciated jokes. Mr.
Wilder, after a thoughtful pause, roplied:
“From everyday lilo. To Illustrato: Isaw
two Irishman on a Broadway Cubic cur
yesterday. Ono says to the other: ‘Mlko,
your clothes look purtty tough and socdy.
Why don‘t you got a ducent suit of
clothes?"
“ ‘Woll,’ answers Mike. with almost a
pompous confidence in his exploitation,
‘tboro's not a tailor in Harlem that kin
numsuro mo, I'm that TT(‘T(|I~Ih.'
“Another illustration: Duo lrishmun.
“I bear you'vo hnd tho grip hud.’ Another
lrisbmnn. 'Yis, a bout a month ago.’ ‘Ah.
Put. the grip Is a lurrlblo dist-ow. lt's tho
only thing you'rosick with after you're
woll.‘
"tin Irishman with only uuo ion was
going along tho strcvt “bun ho mot. n

says tho friend, ‘you‘vu lost a log. All?
‘l'os, ' sold tho ntlivrdospondontly. ‘\\'oll.'

“Sen hunt, you mustn‘t swvar bcfonx my

swon-d, ‘Excuso luv. I didn‘t. know your

“This is n prrtty gmdono: A young

uskud what he was doing that for. His
philosophical n'ply was, 'Kum» It Twirl so
