disease, mrsquerading under another mama. In
marked contrast to the sad cases which have
been above described are the experiences Of
many prominent people who were as low as any
OF the persons mentioned. but who were re-
markably restored to former health and vigor
by this same remedy. Among this number are
the following prominent names: Col John @.

To all candid minds the force OF the above
facts must come with special power. They show
the importance of promptness and attention to
the first symptoms OF disordered health before
disease becomes fixed and hope departs. They
show how this can successfully be done, and
that the dangers which await neglect can only
with difficulty be removed.

Light and Near.Sightedness.

Professor Pickering, OF Harvard Ob-
servatory, points out In Nature that the
color of gas-hght has nothing to do with
its painful effect upon the eyes of stu
dents and others. To test this question
he had tin lamp-shade constructed,
consisting of tube six inches in dame
ter by eight in length. One end was
closed by reflector and the other by a
piece of very light blue glass. Two holes
were made In the sides, through which
passed the glass chimney of an argand
gas-burner. By experimenting with a
shadow photometer, position was
found where the light received on book
was of the same intensity, and very simi-
lar color, to that from window In the
daytime, at distance of about six feet.
A few minutes reading, however, was
sufficient to convince him that the new
light was far more trying to the eyes
than an ordinary gas-hame would be,
the ill-effects being due to the intense
heat thrown down by the reflector. And
this he thinks is the source of the whole
trouble in the ordinary gas-burner The
heat radiated by the flame, the heated
chimney and shade, and reflected from
the printed page and all other white pa
per lying on the table, dries the eyes,
the lids, the forhead and temples. Tenn
porary relief may be found by bathing
the face and eyes in water, but it is only
temporary. The hot dry air from the
lamp is also harmful, and no doubt con-
tributes it's share of injury to the vision.
These evils may both in part be reme-
died by placing pane of glass SO as to
intercept the rays of light before they
strike on the book or the face But it
must be placed at such q distance from
the lamp as not itself to become heated.
The hotter the flame the winter it is,
and the more light is thrown off in pro-
portion to the heat. Hence oculists are
recommending such lights as the Stu
dents and Moderator lamps, which burn
with a small, hot and very brilliant
flame, as compared with that furnished
by the argand and fish-tail burners.
Statistics, said Professor Pickering, show
how alarmingly prevalent near-sighted-
ness has become of late among students.
Hence anything which will tend in the
future to prevent this widespread defect
will be a boon to mankind. He had
great hopes of the electric light in this
respect. In it there was the maximum
of light with the minimum of heat. It's
ever varying intensity was an objection,
but he thought we might look forward
to the success of the hghE from the in
candescent carbon strip, in the near fu-
ture, as remedy for 1.-the most wide-
spread evil that afiiicts the human Wis
ion."

The Government has expended absut
$224. 000, 600 the last ten years IN guard
ing, Furnishing and keeping in order gem
orally our unruly red children. The
''wars" themselves have been compars-
lively inexpensive. The ModOc war OF
1S72-73 cost only 1896, 900. The war In
Texas, in 1876, cost only $6,64l. A
more expensive trouble was that with
the Sioux, in 1867, which ran up a bill
of 81, 1874, ,361. In 1877 there was diff
Guilty with the Nez Perces, costing $9T5,-
OS2, and the next year 1857, ,57l were
spent in the Bannock war. The conflict
with the Northern Cheyennes, in 1889,
cost $34, 200, while the attempt In 1879
to subdue the Utes involved an expendi-
ture of 81, 192, CSC. In the same year
S9,411 were spent In controlling the
Sheep Eaters, and In 1881, with the
Apache difficulties not overcome, the ex-
pense reached $438, 500. The total costs
of these active attempts to control the
aborigines was So, 05S, ,S21, but this is a
mere fraction Of the cost to the Govern
ment of watching the Indian tribes that
were not travelling abroad in war-paint,
but which had to be watched to keep
them quiet.
The aggregate cost of all kinds of
service 10y the United States Army west
of the Mississippi. in which part of the
country there was no proper occupation
for the soldiers but fighting or police
duty on Indian account, was, for the last
ten years, $205, 474, 759. This has been
the cost of troops, and does not take
into account the peace offerings, annui-
ties and other inducements to prevent
the use of the tomahawk and scalping-
knife, which have been provided at very
large expense by the Government Dur
ing the last ten years the troops have
been distributed as follows: The num-
Der employed each year in observation or
control OF Indians, has ranged from IT,
600 to 2l 900, and the number otherwise
employed from 6, 900 to 5000 The total
force has fallen from %, 1S3 in 1872 to
to %, 1873 in 1881. The average number
used in the Indian country has been
of the whole force. While the cost of
these troops is given at $205, ,474, 759,
Adjutant General Drum decides that this
Is not all the expense which can be
charged TO them, and furnishes tables,
with items additional, to be charged on
appropriations for supplies, incidental
expenses, transportation, purchase of
horses, and other trifes, which make the
grand total of $223, ,S91, ,264 According
to General Sherman, the army now con-
sists of %, ,7S5 enlisted men and about
1000 officers. Of these, all the cavalry,
all the Indian scouts, twenty -four out of
twenty-five regiments of infantry, num-
bering 1875 men, are west of the
Mississippi while the total number
east of the Mississippi is 5,256.
His general conclusion is, without
examining the figures closely, that
four -fifths of the expenditures of
the annual appropriations had been
made on Indian account during the ten
years between 1872 and 1882. The
worst feature of the affair is that we do
not see any prospect of reduction of
expenditure on this account.

Fifty Thousand COngressmen en-.

The British Parliament, which legis-
lates for much smaller territory than
that of some Of our States, consists of
between six hundred and seven hundred
members. Ii the United States had the
same basis of territorial representation
our House of Representatives would
have not less than 80 900 members. In
many respects this would be a very great
advantage. Fifty thousand Congressman
would mean the introduction of about
100000 bills every session, which
would be a magnificent thing for the
paper manufacturers and the printers.
Old rags would probably bring SO a
pound, paper mills would be started on
every other block, and printers would be
paid thousand dollars for every one
thousand "ems." The Government
Printing Office at Washington would
have to be extended beyond the boun-
daries of the District of Columbia, over
half the State of Maryland. This wsuld
improve real estate in that section i'm
mensely. Then the Capitol would have
to be built beyond the Potomac into Vir-
ginia, thereby helping scores and scores
of industries and developing thousands
of marble quarries which are now idle
and unproductive. But these are not
the only benefits that would follow the
enlargement of Congress. As five men,
bers are on an average sufficient to run
q first-class saloon, there would be room
for ten thousand additional establish
ments of this kind in Washington. The
only interest that we can think of that
the addition would not help Is religion.
1t would be entirely unnecessary to en-
large the churches.
But these advantages are purely local
and should not be taken into considera-
ton in deciding the question. There
are, however, controlling national reasons
in favor OF the proposition, of which We
should not lose sight. If Congress con-
sisted of 80, 900 members, every member
would, of course, insist upon the right
of enlightening his colleagues and con-
stituents on every question that might
arise. Fifty thousand speeches would,
of course, render the passage of more
than one or two bills in session impos-
sible. This would be so great step in
the line of good government that we are
certain the people would cheerfully make
any sacrifice in order to accomplish it
Indeed, the chances are that before men,
bers had finished introducing bills the
session would have expired and q fresh
$4,000 M. c. would be swooping down
on the District. Another troublesome
question which the enlargement would
settle is the disposition of the surplus
revenue The salaries alone of Con-
gress on the scale suggested would be
about $3.50, 900, 900 year. AS they are
bound TO have this money in some form
or another, the best thing to do is TO let
them draw it out in lawful way. A
thousand Congressman would be entirely
too small for this great country. .-Ne,o

TFrsm the London Lancet.I

TFrsm the London Lancet.
An instance Of singular tolerance OF
q severe wound of the brain was recently
communicated by M. Dubrisay to the
Societe de Medicine de Paris. A man,
aged forty -four, in an attempt at suicide,
sent q small dagger through has skull
into the brain. The weapon was ten
centimeters long and one wide. He had
held the dagger in his left hand, and
given it with the right several blows
with mallet, believing that he would
fall dead ut the first blow. To his pro-
found surprise he felt no pain, and OBJ
served no particular phenomenon. He
struck the dagger, In oil, about dozen
times. The man was O drunkard, but
was sober at the moment of the attempt.
When seen, about two hours later, the
handle of the dagger was projecting from
the skull at the junction of the posterior
and middle third, little to the right OF
the middle line, and in a transverse po-
sition. The whole blade was imbedded
except part one centimetre In length.
For half an hour unsuccessful attempts
were made to get the dagger out. The
patient was placed on the ground, two
vigorous persons fixed his shoulders, and
aided by n strong pair of carpenters
pincers, repeated attempts were made,
but without success. The patient aud
assistants were raised off the ground, but
the dagger remained immovable. These
attempts caused no pain. More power
full mechanical instruments were then
employed. The patient, who walked
well, and complained of no headache,
was taken to coppersmith's. and by
strong pincers the handle of the dagger
passed over cylinder turned by steam
power. The pincers, used for drawing
out tubes of copper, were so made that
the more they were pulled the tighter
they grasped. The man was then fast
ened to rings fixed in the ground, and
the cylinder was gently set in motion.
At the second turn the dagger came out.
The blade measured ten centimetres in
length, of which nine had entered the
interior of the skull. Tie patient, who
had submitted with the greatest cool
ness to the maneuvers, suffered no pain
or Inconvenience. Some drops of blood
escaped, and in few minutes afterward
the man was able to walk away to n hos
pital, where he remained in bed for ten
days, but without fever or pain. He
then returned to his work. and the wound
gradually healed. NJ Duhrisay endea-
vored by post naortem experiment to
ascertain what parts of the brain had
been injured. He drove the dagger into
the head of a cadaver in the same situa-
ton, and to the same depth, and found
that, without injuring the superior long
\ mt hn
cerebral substance, Just behind the as
cending parietal convolutlon, and thus
behind the motor zone; the point had
not reached the base. The difficulty of
the extraction had been due solely to
the fixation of the instrument by the
edges of the wound in the bone.

A physician writing to a journal of medicine,
not long ago, proclaimed against the use OF
mineral poisons in curing Diseases on the
ground that In ninety-nne cases out of hun
dred more mischief than benefit was the re-
suit. In his practice he dispensed entirely
with the use of mercury, ETC., and attributed
his success mostly to his prescribing vegetable

The Hai > an Irish Emblem.

The earliest records we have OF the
Celtic race give the harp prominent
place and harpists peculiar veneration
and distinction. It was common to the
northern races of Europe in the earlier
centuries of the Christian era, and in the
opinion of many antiquarians was origi-
nal among them. The Irish harp was
often an hereditary instrument, to be
preserved with great care and veneration,
and used by the bards of the family,
alike the poet-musicians and historians.
II was long ago adopted by the Irish as
3 national emblem, and has been sung of
10y the most accomplished and patriotic
sons of Ireland since time out Of mind.
