SURPRISED 500 WoRrH.-Capt. Worth,

SURPRISED 800 WoRTH.-Capt. Worth,
Of the steamship Umatilla, was surprised
to the extent of 800 on the occasion OF
his last visit to Columbia River. II
seems there is special act of Congress
requiring at Astoria a formal entry of
vessels bound for Portland. vessels that
had no business at Astoria and vessels
that we're bound straight for the other
city. 1t had been customary with Capt.
Worth to steam past Astoria, merely
sending to the Astoria collector mani
fest OF cargo by the pilot. This had
been accepted as sufficient over and
over again, and as he went up the river
last week he repeated the old-time prac-
tioe. While at Portland he was notified
of the imposition of a fine Of 300, for
passing Astoria in manner contrary to
law, and on descending the river it was
shown him that he should have gone
ashore himself, and made personal,
sworn entry of his vessel from Puget
Sound. Considering that the Umatilla
sails under enrolment, and that her
whole cargo was Seattle coal, this re-
quirement to enter, occasioning 10th
delay and expense. is extraordinary
and is without precedent in any other
collection district in the United States.

Tobacco and Blindness.

Whatever the race may have been
once, it is not now phy%siologically per-
feet. The diseases, ailments and NOR
bid tendencies of men of the present
day are the accumulated results of the
bad hygienic influences that have flowed
in upon the race in all past time. Each
human being is now born with one or
more weak points, at which he IS most
likely to break down, and hence is
differently affected by the same ex-
posure.
Now, it is not often that a man knows
what his weak points are, and therefore
it behooves him to observe, as far as pos
sible, every law of hygiene, and not al
low himself to tamper with agents Of
possible harm, because thousands of
other men have apparently used these
agents with impunity.
AS to these thousands who have APP
p%arently escaped injury, the case is not
by any means closed with them, and as
for the man WHO'S tempted to do as they
have done, the harmful agent may
make for his weakest point with all the
certainty of fate. Who would be fool
ish enough to use tobacco if he knew
that in time blindness would be the re-
suit? But see what Prof. Reynolds said
in an address to a class of medical grad
yates:
sit is a w%ell-known fact that tobacco
poisons the nerve-centers of a majority
of the male members of the human fam
lily. Careful investigation has led to
the discovery that smoking produces
the so-called 0nblyopia-dimness Of
vision. This form of amblyopia is pre-
cisely Identical, in all respects, with
that produced by the excessive use Of
alcohol. Both are incurable. I know
a number of persons here Gin L%ouisville)
who are practically blind from an ex-
cessive use of tobacco."-YoutA's Com

The Cruelties of Science.

A French paper gives an account of
some curious experiments which
Signor CanestrIni has been making Oh
insects. He has cut off the heads Of a
number Of flies, ants, grasshoppers
and butterflies, and he has observed
that decapitated insects retain their
sensibility for a very long time. Flies
seemed to regard the operation as the
most natural thing in the world. They
calmly rubbed their bodies with their
legs, and generally behaved as if moth
ing unusual had happened. Butterflies
continued to fly for eighteen days after
they had lost their heads, and grass
hoppers had still a kick in them thir-
teen days after being similarly ill
treated. Scolopemdr@ showed con-
tractile movements both in the trunk
and in the head eight days after the
severance had been effected. Cruel ex.
periments of this sort are generally de.
Tended on the ground that they are, or
may be, of service to humanity; but one
quite fails to see the raison d'etre Of
Professor Canestrinis' operations. The
effect of decapitation on the human sub
ject is well known, and the Professor
may go on decapitating insects till
doomsday without contributing any,
thing toward modifying its unpleasant
consequences.-St. James Gazette

he has special facilities for procuring
the passage of the claim, which is rep
resented to be hopelessly shelved. In
case of a favorable response the next
circular in the series is sent to him by
the list is exhausted, or the pensioners
patience gives out. As a matter of fact
there is no need for attorneys service
to procure pensions. Every facility is
offered by the Office, and the applicant
has only to fill the blanks furnished
him and tell the truth in his story
of reasons for asking the bounty. He
must get all this certified to in accord
ance with instructions, and then his
case will go through and be acted on
just as speedily as though he had hired
a dozen lawyers. OF course ignorant
men sometimes fail to comprehend the
simplest instructions, and much delay
and trouble is caused. Hence the en-
ployment of a lawyer is rather favored
by those who have the cases to pass
upon, as less labor is involved as a rule
in the cases. prepared by professional
hands"
.'Does all this exhaust the possibili-
ties of fraud by attorneys.
sBy no means. Men will 90 into a
small town and, after getting the sigma
lures of leading citizens, look up the war
records for that neighborhood. Among
the latter are sure to be found the
names of men entitled to pensions who
have never applied for them. Applica-
ton will be made out in these names,
and the signatures of the necessary
number Of leading men of the place
fofged to the certificate of service, etc.
The rest of the process is easier than
with a genuine case"
care these men never caught and
punished"
''They are, quite frequently. But in
nocent frauds are sometimes even more
severely delt with. Two cases I remem-
Der. One was a preacher, a man of
ir~reproachable character, who had been
a chaplain in the army, but with little
knowledge of the world. In his first
steps to getting a pension he consulted
with former comrades and neighbour. as
to what facts they would swear to for
him. Then he got the necessary blanks
and went ahead. But he found that to
get his friends signatures to their

delay. To obviate this he simply signed
the names himself and sent on the pa
pers. The similarity of writing was de-
tected, and the result was the states
prison for two or three years, though
the men, whose names had been forged,
promptly expressed their readiness to
sign the papers, while admitting that
they had not done SO.
"Another case having the same end
ing was that of a man who kept copies
of his papers, which were afterward
lost in the office. He was requested to
send another set, and, simple enough,
sent his copies, the names of which
We're held to be forgeries, and he was
duly convicted and imprisoned. So
much for law and justice. "-Washing-
