SAYS the Madison Democrat: The
predicted strikes in the iron industry
were generally inaugurated in accord
ance with the time schedule, though
there is a faint hope that the evils to
flow from them viii be mitigated to
some extent by concessions that will
insure partial resumption of business.
As inaugrauted nearly 100000 men
are thrown out of employment. 10,
600 are actual strikers, and 10000 are
victims of the strikers, who cannot
work because material cannot be OBJ
tanned ON account of the strike. In
GLIDING the families of these men,
nearly 100000 mouths are loosing bread
on account of the strike. One of the
most melancholy objects in the world
is paralyzed manufacturing commu-

The Advantages Of Two Eyes.

In response to the question:: what
is the use of having two eyes?" the an
swer has been given, ITO have one left
if the other is hurt" Much as we
may admire the sagacious foresight OF
this youthful Psychologist, it will not be
f und sufficient to rest coptented with
his ultimatum. He had evidently not
tried his skill to find how Unexpectedly
he would miss the inkstand while en-
deavoring to dip his pen into ii at arm s
length, with one eye closed. He had
not thought of holding his finger few
inches in front of his face to find what
part of the wall it would hide from
each eye in succession, or how differ
emily it would look when regarded
from those two points of view separate
ly, how much thicker it would appear
when both eyes were open, how readily
he could examine three sides of it at
once, how much more defini'ely he
could judge its distance, in word,
how much more omprehensive was
the information given by two eyes if
used at the same moment. Assuming
that he knows exactly how to account
for the inversion of the reninal image
and the exact appearance of the OBJ
jects there pictured, how our visual
perceptions are only signs of what we
momentarily feel on the retina, signs
that generally represent the realities
with a fair degree of accuracy, but may
sometimes represent almost anything
else on demand, how, if the eyes be
healthy, we have no consciousness OF
poss essing any retina at all, but instant
ly and unconsciously refer every ret
inal sensation to some external body
whose existence we are obliged to as
sumo, unless there be special argu-
ments to convince as to the contrary
granting all this, our young physiolo-
gist has not thought of inquiring how
it is that although two retinal images
are produced, we see hut a single OBJ
ject, and this despite the fact that, like
photographs of the same body stimuli
taneously taken from different stand
points, these two images are necessari-
" dissimilar.-W lie Conte Steueas in

No disorders, excepting the most deadly forms
of lung disease, involve such tremendous de-
struciion of organic tissue as those which fasten
upon the kidneys. uch maladies, when they be-
come chronic and meme are so liable to assume
that phase--completely wreck the system. To
prevent this terrible disaster, recourse should be
had upon the first manifestation of trouble, to
Hostetters Btters, which experience has proved
to be highly effective as means of imparting
tone and egularity to the organs of urination, as
well as to the liver, stomach and bowels. An
other beneficial result of this medicine naturally
consequent upon its diuretic action is the elimin
alton from the blood of impurities which beget
rheumatism, govt, dropsy, and other maladies.
By increasing che activity Of the kidneys, it aug
mepts the depurative efficiency of these organs,
which are most important outlets for the escape

a considerable sacrifice on the part of the

rolled Protestants, almost LOCO church
members, 600 children in common schools,
taught by native girls, dozen students
from the city in the theological seminary,
another dozen in college, and forty more
