How Gas.light Affects the Eye,

In report recently before the Ger
man minister for education by the sci
entitic committee for medical affairs,
the conclusions arrived at are that gas
light has no prejudicial effect upon the
eyes provided they are protected from
its direct action. For this purpose the
committee recommend shades and bell
glasses Of translucent glass porcelain.
They disapprove of Opaque metallic
shades, since when these are used the
eyes, though themselves in shade, gaze
upon a strongly illuminated surface, and
become dazzled and over-stimulated
On account of the large quantity of
heat evolved by gas, the burner should
not be too near The head of the person !;
the heat is liable to cause headache and
even congestion of the brain. Care
should also be taken to prevent the flame
from fiickering. The use of dark blue
glass is also suggested in cases of irrita-
ton. With these precautions the COM
mittee believe that gas-light may be
used without mischief.

Low Prices for Print Cloths.

The low price at which hundreds of
thousands of pieces of Fall River print
cloths have been sold of late, say from
81 to Al cents per yard, now eXcites sus-
picion, and there is no difficulty in Civ
ing the reason why. A day or two be-
fore Hathaway bloSsomed into default
er the New Bedford banks held some
100000 pieces of goods as collateral for
money advanced, and the first thing
known by the banks they had no securi-
ty at all, for Philadelphia firm came
along and scooped in the entire lot at
81 cents per yard cash, and this is how
the New Bedford banks were defrauded.
The retail stores are now selling good
prints at five cents per yard, and some
people wonder how the thing can be
afforded so cheaply.-BOSt01 Letter.

Wanted a Man to "Sit with SAL"

Yesterday afternoon green-looking
couple, evidently newly married, called
at the photograph gallery Of Beals &
WaterhouSe, and wanted their pictures
taken. Just as Mr.. BealS had got his
plate ready the man called him aside
and said he wanted to ask favor. 81
was told in Carson you took the best
pictures in the State. Now, you see, Sal
and | got hitched down there last Mon
day; now, her folks 60 a good deal on
style, and they live in the States. They
never saw me, and if send my mug
back East they'll be dead agin me sure.
I'm darned sight better than | look,
and when people come to know me they
vote me a brick. Now, what l want is
to some good-lookin' man to sit with
Sal for picture. Will you stand in?
She's willin'. Them big whiskerS OF
yours IL catch 'em sure and create har-
mony. You look like solid capitalist,
and they take me for petty larceny
thief" Mr.. Beals enjoyed the idea i'm
mensely, and sat with "Sal" for the
picture, which will doubtless carry JOY
into the household of the Eastern rela-
tives in week or Virginia City

The Electric Light.

The New York Tribune has small faith
that Edison, or any other inventor will pro-
duce small electric lights cheaper than gas.
It says:
The electric light is already used in several
factories in this country, and its use seems
to be extd lding. The circumstances are
favorable to its employment in large work
shops. There is always in these concerns
superbundance of motive power, and the
work of driving the electric machines which
supply the means for lighting can, therefore.
be performed substantially without COST. AS
most large factories manufacture their own
gas, the loss which will follow the introduce
ton of electricity, by rendering useless the
costly plant for the production of gas, will
fall upon the shoulders of the very people
who are to be benefited by the reduction of
expense. AS rule, too, more light is needed
in these shops than is actually employed at
present, owing to the high cost of gas; and
the electric lamp seems to supply this need
at the same time that it is reducing the cost
So much seems to have been already de-
monstrated. With reference to the lighting
of dwellings, the whole subject is yeti ia
doubt. Mr.. Edison claims to have found
way to light dwellings, and that illumination
by his plan is cheaper than gas. The facts
in regard to this matter are set forth in an
other part of to-day's paper, where de-
scription of the various experiments now
making in this country is presented. Briefly,
the case is as follows: The subdivision of
the electric current and its distribution to a
large number of lamps cause an enormous
loss of light: and while extremely beautiful
and perfectly steady small lights can be pro-
duced, and the lights can be turned up or
down, just like gas, it is not known that any
inventor, Mr.. Edison, or any one else, has
ever yet burned over seventeen lights on any
one circuit. The public know what extraya-
CANT claims havesbeen made. These claims
may yet be justified, but up to the present
time they are not. II the electric light cam
not be subdivided more than twenty times,
it cannot at present become Q serious COM
petitor with gas in dwellings and offices.

a Problem Long Since Solved.

How to remedy those prolific causes of dis
ease, an Impoverished circulation and an i'm
parted digestion, was a problem the solution
of which had often baffled medical skill, but
which was solved over quarter of century
ago by the introduction Of Hostetter,s Stnm1.
ach Bitters to public and professional notice.
Since that time, which may well be said to
have Initiated new epoch in the history OF
medicine, the remedy and preventive referred
to has obtained foothold in the confidence
OF the American people that each succeeding
year mas only served to strengthen. It is rec
the first order, q remedy for and sure means
OF preventing fever and ague, and disorders OF
the stomach and bowels; as areliable means
OF reforming disordered state Of the liver,
and of counteracting tendency to .Theuma-
tlsm, govt, urinary and uterine disotasrs.
