GARFIELD-GUITEAU.


On Saturday morning. July "a,
1881, 10 the waiting room Of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad De-
pot at Washington, D. c., a pistol
shot was fred which paralyzed
a nation and sent a thrill of horror
throughout the civilized world.
On Friday, June 30, 1882, with
in the walled enclosure of the Dis
trict Jail at Washington, the soul
of the fend whose deed of one
year ago wrought so much woe,
was launched from the gallows
Into the realms Of his Satanic
Majesty, whose choicest torments
have long been awaiting him.

The noble Tearing, the hopeful
resignation and patient fortitude
exhibited all through those three
long, weary months Of pain and
anguish, by President Garfield has

MyOpia Among School Children.

At the monthly meeting of the New
York County Medical Association DR..
W. F. Mittendorf read paper on
"Myopia and the Nee s.ity of Its Cor
rection by Glasses. He said that
myopia or shortsightedness had iuatly
been called o disease of civilization, and
unless prompt measures were taken to
counteract the injurious influences
which led to the development of the dis
Ease it must more and more be regarded
rs disease of civiliz d life. The dis.
ease was incurable, but could be sue
cessfully arrested by the application of
the proper glasses. The most danger
ous period for myopia to set in was from
the ages of five to tifte' n years. and All
examination of the pupils attending tho
,chools Of New York has led to the fol-
lowing discoveries: Out of 2O3 scholars
attending the Thirteenth-street grammar
school only six were near sighted. At
grammar school No. So, 698 children
we're examined, of whom 81 per cent.
were suffering from myopia. This in
cluded 425 American children, among
whom there were thirty-four cases Of
myopia, and 273 Germans, of whom
,wenty-six were suffering from myopia.
At grammar school No. 35, Of $50
Americans 10 per cent. were myopic,
and of 266 Germans 17a per cent. were
afflicted with the disease. At Columbia
college POI students were examined, and
of these So, or 35 per cent, we're found
to be near-sighted. the percentage being
greater in the academical departm ent
than in the School of Mines. Further
investigation with view to testing the
hereditary nature of the disease,
showed that of forty-five Jews 40 per
cent. came from myopic families; of
eighty-two German myopics 20, or
35 per cent, came from myopic families,
and of 160 American children only 40,
or 81 per cent, had myopia in their
families. In all cases it was found
myopia increased with the length of
school life. The popular prejudice Of
the poorer classes against the use of
glasses led to very mischievous results,
and often to hopeless blindness. .-Ne1o

'BeaHtiHy Home,

The best test of the worthiness Of q
community is probably the extent to
which it keeps the Lords day holy. All
good things 60 with Sabbath observance,
generally speaking, and all bad things
with Sabbath desecration. Another eX-
cellent test is the expenditure on educa-
ton, and another, missionary contrlbu.
tions. AS o test of intelligence and aa.
tivity, the consumption of paper per
head of the community has been sug-
gested; and the average consumption of
sugar is equally indicative of the degree
of comfort in which the people live.
But in all the tests of comfort and taste,
that which strikes q traveller through d
country most readily is the appearance
of the dwelling houses, with their gar
dens, lawns, fences and other surround-
ings. Whether these dwellings be cot
tages or illa-mansions, it matters little;
it is the evidence of careful attention
and good taste that impresscs the mind

tensive garden was grass-that was al
ways beautiful, whilst flowers fadel and
became unsghtly. We may add that
all good gardeners pay special attention
to lawns.
However small the front court or back
yard may be, there should be in it a
well-kept lawn; and if there is room,
there should be borders or circles or
crescents of flowers, giving a prefer
ence to those which grow low and con-
tinue long in bloom.
A cottage with nice lawn having a
few fine shrubs and center circle OF

especially if it has one or two trees

SIObbering Horses.

Some horses will slobber nearly all
they eat; others when they eat certain
plants, usually in early summer, and
others are never known to do so.
Horses thus affected will, when their
diet Is much restricted, sometimes cease
the habit. Clean timothy and red.top
hay, and clean oats fed in the straw
(clean meaning free from weeds or 9th
er plants,) will usually cause q con-
tirmed case of slobbering to stop tenn
porarily. A little clover, clover. hay,
rag-weed in the oats, and many other
weeds, are liable to start it again, in
fact, will be quite sure to do so. Thus
it IS clear that the tendency is constitu-
tional in the animal, that cause that
wonld excite slobbering in one animal
will not affect another, and that it is
excited by different plants which the
horse Il o. for food, either in the green
or dry state. Besides, the habit is said
to come from partial paralysis of the
nerves of the face, or Of one side of the
face. Usually, however, it comes from
some article of food, and it is more
often caused by the second growth
clover than anything else. Veterinarians
have recommended astringents to be
employed in solution, the mouth being
washed with decoction of oakbark,
witchhazel, alum, etc.,. but no perma
nent benefit comes from these applica-
tions. Partial relief has been expert.
