He stopped andjasked a friend who walking by hia side to examine the'eye, but there was not any visible cause for the unexpected and unpleasant sensation, so .he returned to his work, which he prosecuted for the remainder of the day in anything but comfort. Several times during the afternoon he bad bia eye examined for the purpose of ascertaining the cause of hia discomfort, but without effect, and be also resorted; .with only a like result, to a very common method of allaying irrita tion or removing motes, namely, bathing in cold water. Returning home between 5 and 6 o’clock iu the evening l , bethought, perhaps, keeping the eye at rest so far as that was pos sible, might secure the much-desired ease. The irritation and pain still continued, how ever, and were now becoming excruciating.
