The eyes of nearly all infants, as a rule, are always blue, and they do not begin to assume their permanent color until the sixth or eighth week. There is, therefore, truth as well as poetry in the statement that babies look about them in "blue-eyed wonder." The wonder may be left to poets and philosophers, but the blue is always a practical fact. It is not uncommon to see different colors in the eyes of the same person, and even in the same eye half of the iris is sometimes brown and the other half blue. There is a popular no- ! tion that dark eyes are stronger than light ones. There is no truth in this, except so far as they are better protected against excessive light. Hence light eyes prevail among northern nations and dark eyes among the races who live in the glare of a tropical sun. For Children's Backing Cough at night, Woods' Great Peppermint Cure.
