INCREASING THE NAVY.
While there. has been so much talk
in England about building new ships
for the navy. this country has been
making progress in the toustructlon of
big battleships, anti IL is announced
that the North Dakota, being built at
Quincy. Mass. will be ready for‘her
standardization tests on October to.
and that her sister ship, the Delav
ware, will show what she can do on
October 20. The contract specifics-
tlous call for a speed of 21 knots, and
the battleships are of the Dreadnought
type.
This country hasn't made as tmlch
fuss abotrt its navy as has been the
case in sortie other nations. but won-
derful progress has been made in re-
cent years. The ships that fly tips
stars and stripes are constructed in a
'manner that has proven capable or
standing the most, severe tests, and the
men who wear the uniform of the navy
aremot only competent. to meet up)
etnergency in time of peace. but are
ready for the supreme test of conflict
If it ever comes. This country hasn't
as tuatry strips as some other powers
but what it has are ilrst class. and it's
latest additions are up to date in every
particular.—Ne\v London Day.

HOW WOULD iT WORK?
At. a meeting of the Fair-field County
Baptist association In Bridgeport. a re-
solution was adopted with only our
dissenting vote. rcconnnendlug that
the church dismiss from its member-
~ ship all owners oi property who “ei'
ther knowingly or unknowingly" por-
mit its rise :or- immoral purposes.
”Mmmmo ‘tiecldedly interesting to
see how the scheme works otrt. There
are many nice distinctions which some-
body will be obliged to make.
The word “Immoral" will be thc
stumbling block. The thing which
one person might regard as immoral.
would be considered quite proper by
another.
The than who unknowingly allows
his property to be used for immoral
purposes can hardly be regarded as
having committed a crime, and yet our
Baptist friends put him in exactly
the same category with the man who
knowingly does the wrong. This isn‘t
just or fair. and will not be received
with popular fawn—Mormon Record.

A WARNING DREAM.
_—~——.
The Vision Linoin Saw Several Times
, ’ In HIa‘Sleep.
Napolen believed devmrtly ln‘dreams
is warnings or even ns forecasts of
what was to route. and even he who
post prides himself upon his freedom
from superstition knows of or has ex-
)erlenced at least one dream that can-
ict be explained as a mere result or
overfeeding.
When we contemplate dreams and
heir ramifications science can help us
out little in their explanation.
Boilins showed this to he so in one of
its most ingenious novels. "Al’llllt-
isle." Warning dreams or premoni-
ions may be the result of natural laws
which we do not understand.
Lincoln was not. counted supersti~
:ious because he had some confidence
n the prophttic character of one
lrenm, at least. for It. visited his sleep
in several occasions, and he spoke oi"
.t. seriously to members of his family
ind to his closest friends. In telling
)f this vision he said he seemed to be
a a singular. indescribable vessel,
but always the same. moving .with
great rapidity toward a dark and in-
ieilulte slrore.‘ '
The dream preceded several marked
incidents during his occupancy of the
presidential chair. notably before the
battles of Antietam, Fredericksburg
and Gettysburg.
0n the morning of the memorable
14th of April he informed members of
his cabinet that he had dreamed this
same thing the night before and be-
lieved that they were on the threshold
of some momentous issue. So im
lressive were his remarks that his
auditors were profoundly moved. but
no seer among them could read the
warning arlght and forsee the awful
news of his assassination which should
'ie flashed that night to a stunned and
horrified peoplei—Phllndelphia liedg

If the eyes become red or inflamed
it is due to eye strain. and one should
have an oeullst examine the eyes to
find out what is the matter, says the

Avoid reading lit a poor light. The

lou‘t use the eyes when they feel

wattr or cold. whichever seems the
most comforting. idyecups are made

They are so small that they can be

When one has styes and the eyes
are roddened, the eyelashes scanty and
thin. it probably means that eyeglass-
es are needed. and an oculist should
be corisulied. or if one already wears
classes it is probable that they are
not properly fixed.
in the sleeping apartment the. bed
sould be so arranged that the light.
eltlu r from within or without, will not
strike the eyes. And it In said that
even moonlight should be excluded
from the sleeping room.
An important consideration in the
care of the eyes is the nrethod of dry"
ing them after the facial bath. Do
this gently with a‘ soft, towel. and al-
ways rub toward the inner corners.
for in the corners are the outlets of
varlohs secretions of the eyes.
One should notattempt to read im;
mediately upon waking from sleep. nor
should one read when lying down. The
latter habit iiattens‘ the eyeballs. and
causes impaired sight. .
Avoid rubbing weary or Iritstetl eyes
for that only increases the trouble.
and causes the lashes to fall out.
Among the detects of the eyes that
may be remedied by a_ slight operation
is that at “cross eyes." or sculpting.
and that of apparently too small eyes.
Tile-latter defect is due to too close a
union u the lids at the outer angles,
and a simple and comparative painless
operation will enlarge the appearance
of the eye. ‘1
