PRACTICAL HINTS ABOUT GLASSES

Persons finding their eyes becoming dry
and itching on reading, as we'll as those
who find 1t necessary to place an object
nearer than fourteen inches from the face
to read, need spectacles.
Persons under 40 years of age should not
wear glasses until the accommodating
power of the eye has been suspended, and
the exact state OF refraction determined by
competent opthalmic surgeon.
The spectacle glasses sold by peddlers.
and by jewelers. generally, are hurtful to
the eyes of those who read much, as the
lenses are made of inferior sheet glass and
are not Systematically ground.
No matter how perfectly the lenses NAV
be made, unless they are mounted in a
suitable frame and properly placed before
the eye, discomfort will arise from their
prolonged use.
There are three systems of grading spec
tacle lenses-the English, the metric, and
the Prussian. Those made to supply the
demands of the trade in this country are
calelessly made, and are poor limitations of
either the English or metrical system. The
metrical scale has no equivalent, is not
graded by any uniform rule of dividing the
lnterfocal spaces, and is therefore unsuited
to the exacting demands Of science.
The near-sighted eye is an unsound eve.
and should be fully corrected with glass,
notwithstanding the fact it may need no
aid for reading.
The proper time to begin wearing glasses
Is just as soon as the eyes tire on being
subjected to prolonged use.-[Medical

Ryan's recovery, which at one time was
doubtful, is due.
Friday morning Augustin Meineot was
found in his room, No. 81 Clay street,
dead, with tvs knives stuck in his body,
one on each side. Deceased was q shoe

About 1890 o'clock Friday morning the
police heard a splash near Pacific street
wharf. They had seen a man few min

As he was missing they conceived he had
fallen from the wharf. Although they ran
at once to the scene no one could be found
They, however, did not leave the spot.
About two hours later they recovered the

remains have not yet been identified. His

DYSPEPSIA AND ITS TREATMENT.

One distinguished authority goes so far
ailments by which men are afflicted have
their origin in mistreatment OF the stom-
ach. There can be no question but that
the Americans make of their digestive
organs the veriest slaves. Whoever reads
DR.. Felix Oswald's paper on dyspepsia in
the current number of the Popular Science
Monthly must conclude, on the basis of
the essayist's correctness, that the worst
abuse of the day is the abuse of the stom-
ach. Dyspepsia may well be termed the
national disease. The sutferings it entails
are in atonement for the meanest of sins,
gluttony, and abuse Of an organ most ma.
terial to our existence. Dyspepsia is also
the most deceitful of diseases, for il leads
the sufferer to believe that ne is attacked
by about every other complaint in the
world; men suffer daily from neuralgia,
rheumatism, heartburn, pains in the back,
vertigo, headache, lsngor, gnawing hunger,
depression of vitality, numbness of the
limbs, singing of the ears, loss of sp.
petite, painful drawing agonies in the
muscles, eructations, feverish symptoms,
bad dreams, oppression upon the lungs,
sleeplessness, dizziness, etc., who never

pepsia is chronic, the remedy is in their
own hands. We cannot pause to even
glance at Dr. Oswald's trenohant indict-
ments against our people for the mad haste
with which they seek to bring untold
rniseries upon themselves and their chill
dren. 1t must suffice to say that the OBJ.
servation and experience Of every middle
aged person confirm every essential charge
he makes. What with alcoholic stimulants,
spices and peppers, beer swilling, tea,
coffee, tobacco, sbsinthe, rich cakes and
preserves, excessively hot food and drinks,
constant dosing with medicines, close bed
rooms, insufficient athletic exercise, bolt

and houses, nervousness and worry, the
increase Of stimulating dishes, starving
for eight hours and stufing for one,
we are becoming nation of dYs-

MINING swIEDLERs.

The Chicago Herald reads California
sharp lecture, because mining shark from
this State went into that city with wildcat
mining scheme and swindled half-witted
youth out of $1,000 by inducing the young
man to invest all his savings in worthless
stock. Unfortunately the swindle was so
shrewdly worked that the law cannot reach
the offender, who gets off scot free with the
whole Of the boys money. The Herald
very bitterly adds to its comments on the
case these words ''It is mere wildcat
company, organized, as thousands of others
are organized in San Francisco, to unload
the stock upon gullible people at the East.
The man who figured yesterday in the Po-
lice Court ia perfect type of the class of
Californisns who have swarmed the Eastern

THE PROMISE OF THE REFORM.

j. E. Chamberlain, in the International
ReUielo, calls attention to one interesting
fact, that bossism in politics has not been
matter of succession. 1t does not de-
scend from father to son-save in Pennsyl-
vania, where it has but once occurred.
The socially permanent has not been
evolved from it. This is a fact which we
believe has not been much dwelt upon,
and it is by no means an insignificant one.
In the fact that the composition of the
caucus hierarchy has been and is essen
TALLY shifting and uncertain is to be found,
probably, one of the best promises for civil
service reform in this country. As the
essayist puts it, the politician has not
reached the esteem that gives him power
over mems thoughts, as well as over mere
electoral machinery. With the elimina-
ton of patronage from national politics it
will pass out of nominating Conventions.
The motive for intrigue being gone,
while ambitions will sway and clash, pub
lie sentiment will more and more tend
to fix itself in advance of the meeting of
conventions upon the men fttest to lead
party. There can scarcely be any question
raised as to the soundness of these views.
They reflect one of the inevitable results of
civil service reform when it shall have been
firmly established, and placed so securely
az to be free from the assaults OF the poll.
ticians. The machinery of party will then
become less necessary, and may pass al.
most out of use as a power naming the
men the people are to choose from for
leaders, and become what it should be,
only the convenient medium for announc-
ing the wishes of the masses in the matter
of candidacy. Caucus and convention will
then no longer give US the men the mana
gers choose for us, but the nominees the
people hsvein advance chosen as thoroughly
representative of them.

TURNED Our OF PEw.-The Duke of

tie, had walked one Sunday evening into
Deal and entered Trinity Church. After
wandering about for some time in
search of the sexton (who, as matter
of course, was engaged elsewhere), the
Duke ensconced himself in a roomy-looking
pew in front of the pulpit. After short
time a lady, of portly and pompous appear
ance, the owner Of the pew, entered. AT
ter muttering 8 prayer, she cast scowl at
the intruder which was intended to drive
him out of the place he had taken. She
had not the least idea who he was, and
would probably have given her eyes, had
she known him, to have touched the hem
of the great Dukes cloth cloak, or asked
for his autograph. Seeing that the stranger
bore the brunt OF her indignant glance
without moving, the lady bluntly told the
Duke, as she did not know him, that she
must request he gould immediately leave
her pew. His Grace obeyed, and chose
another seat. When ne was leaving the
church at the end of the service, and had
at last found the sexton, who received him
with many bows and salutstions, he said {:

NOSES AND NOSES.

It is one of the mistakes of Psychologists
to maintain that the Roman nose, such IS
is shown on the frentispiece of Julius Caesar,
is of itself emblematic of heroic character
1t is habit to so class the arched proboacis
of Wellington. He wanted the massive
Jaws which make such nose true index of
war-like character, and one must go to the
top of the head for large firmness, and back
of the ears for large combativeness and de-
structiveness, to unlock the secret of the
success of his arms. The Greeks had long,
straight noses, and no people were drawer,
while the Romans, and no doubt the Car
thaganians, were much indebted to the
Ph9nicians for their bridged and beaked-
face handles. Napoleon's nose was but
slightly arched, but his jaws were massive
Washington's nose was also slightly ele-
waited in the center, and he had massive
jaws which made him resolute and deter
mined. Gen. Grants nose is but slightly
arched, while that of General Lee was short
and almost straight, showing civil talents
in marked degree as well as a disciple of
Mare. General Hancock's nose is of the
Lee mold, and demonstrates similar char.
acteristics. Hancock is a man who would
fight calamity for a principle, and then
show large opacity as a civil ruler or agent
of the people. Stonewall jackson DOS.
sessed heavy iron-set jaws, and long, full,

Macdonald, who was always selected by
Napoleon for daring enterprise. The nose

moderate length, and running from under

characteristic. Sir Robert Peels nose was

pie. Large chins index an animal nature
in men and women. Retreating chins are
evidences of great personal dellcacy, of the
sentimental or poet temperament, and yet
from very pride the owners when pressed
fight like demons. If man desires a wife
who will give him no trouble, let him Sc
lect one with pug, or at best with a
straight nose, moderate jaws, and chin
gently decreasing from the hollow under
the lower lip. So sure as he marries a
woman with an arched nose, strong and
protuoerant jaws, and big chin, he will
never be master of his own house. Such a
woman is a cross between an eagle and a
tigress, for somehow every human being
resembles something that flies and walks,
and sometimes animals that creep. Nature
has so ordered it, and neither anatomist,
physiologist, physiognomist nor psycholo-
gist can penetrate the mystery.

TIE SUCCESSOR TO a VACANT THRONE.

We yesterday briefly referred to the sit
uation in France dependent upon the action
of the Comte de Paris, in the event of the
death of the Comte de Chambord, which is
hourly expected. 1t will be interesting
now to glance at this second prominent fig
ure in European politics. Louis Philippe
d'Orleans, Comte de Paris, was born in
the city of Paris in the year 1888. He IS
the grandson of Louis Philippe, and
the eldest son of the Duke Of Orleans.
He was educated in Paris, and after the
revolution of lS4S, in Eisenach and in En-.
gland. he has travelled extensively, and
is well informed man of literary tastes.
He came to the United States late in the
year 1860, and on the breaking out of the
war of the rebellion he entered the Union
Army SIS an aid on the staff Of General
Mcclellan. He served in that capacity
until 1862, when he left the country be-
cause of the danger of misunderstanding
between this nation and France relative to
the occupation of Mexico. While in the
army he was recognized as a gallant officer,
brave almost to recklessness, ear.headed,
wise in his judgments and profound in his
advice. His military ability was universally
admitted oy the men of the army. He
married his cousin, the daughter of the
Duke de Montpensier. In the Franco
German war the Count and his wife, who
were not allowed to dwell In their native
land and remained in England, were very
active in affording relief to French SOL
diers. They received considerable aid in
this work from friends in America
in acknowledgment of the husbands
services in our behalf. On the es-
adjustment of the French Republic be
returned to Paris, and has since resided
there in his own hotel in the Faubourg st.
German. In 1873 he visited the Comte de
Chamberd at Frohsdorf, and, as then IN.
derstood, withdrew his claims to the
crown, on condition that be should be
recognized as the heir apparent to the
doubtful title OF King of France. He has
been a close student, and has given the
world several works Of recognized ability.
Among these are several volumes Of 1.-The
History Of the American Civil War" The
first volume appeared in 1874, and be is st

TIE DEAD LANGUAGES.

Charles Francis Adams, Jr., in recent
address before a Harvard society, took
the position that the study of the dead
languages should give way in the colleges,
or at least be made secondary TO more
modern studies. AS now pursued, he
holds that the time given to the consider
alton of Latin and Greek results in no
benefit to the majority of students. This
is, in degree, popular view, but it
never has been claimed that for majority
of persons the study of the dead languages
would be of practical value in their use.
What is claimed, and what experience has
proved to be true, is that these studies are
important in disciplining the intellect
The pupil in few years may become very
rusty in his Greek and Latin, but the train
ing they gave him cannot be lost. He may
forget the study, but the influence it had
as a formative agent in the molding OF his
intellect and the drill and discipline of his
mental powers is never lost, but serves
him every day and every hour, no matter
what his vocation jim life. 1t is probable
that very few practical men can go about
business according TO the methods pursued
by them in a number of mathematical
studies in youth, but shall we for that rea-
son abolish such studies The curriculum
of the college contains much that is placed
there, not for daily and actual use, but as
a means to mental discipline and develop
ment, and to strengthen the reasoning
powers and invigorate the mental part,
while at the same time intelligence is
broadened and information conveyed in
original tongues to which translation into
our ruder English can never do justice.

PRESIDENT ARTHUR proposes to visi. some New

And why should he not Indeed, our Presidents
have, as a rule, been too sparing Of visitstions
among the people. But no sooner is it announced
that be will take some such trip, than the sus-
picous reporter whose school is that of doubt and
distrgst, telegraphs all the country that there
are those who say the real object of the President
is to let the people see more Of him, and to form
acquaintance with view of influencing the next
Republican nominating convention. 1t is safe to
wager the reporters originated the suspicion, and
deemed it exceedingly witty and enterprising to
give it currency. The self.same men, had President
Arthur resolved to remain in Washington, would
have readily sent abroad the report that he was
housing up in that quarter to get up reputation
for close attention to public affairs and great
industry, with view to securing the nomination
and indeed that report actually circulated
corning one of the Presidents Of the country who,
the moment he left the " City of the Nation " on
pleasure trip, was heralded as swinging round the
circle"
