For many years it has been known to
opthalmic surgeons that abuse Of tobacco
may lead TO failure o! sight This fact has
been made use Of by the anti-tobaceonists,
who are mostly well-meaning but meddle-
some persons, and whose actions have too
close q resemblance to those Of agitators in
the cause of various reactionary measures
for the impediment Of scientific research
and the obstruction Of sanitary legislation.
In the report OF forty cases of tobacco am
blyopia by BIZ. Shears, of Liverpool, ii
appeared that atrophy of the optic nerves
is very rarely met with as the result OF
excessive smoking, although tobacco is the
essential agent in producing failure OF
sight. Great moderation in smoking, and
especially the employment of mild forms
of tobacco. is all that is necessary to insure
recovery. Mr. Hutchinson has found that
Il very small proportion Of smokers suffer
from ambiyopia, and that among those
who do become subject to impaired vision
are many who show hereditary tendency
TO that iniirmity; many of their relatives
who do not smoke being similarly afflicted,
Workmen in tobacco factories do not APP
pear TO be subject to deterioration of eye
sight. In one large mandatory, where
10000 men and women are employed, Mr.
Shears has found that not one single per-
son on the premises suffered from failure
of eyesight, although many of the hands
had been working there for ten years.

Etiquette of the Street Car.

In an editorial on etiquette OF the
Car" the Philadelphia Times, among
other things, says: ''The man who sits
with his legs across, his elevated foot serv-
ing as kind of trip Tor everybody going
in or out of the car, the man who sits with
his knees spread ont twice the width OF
the single seat he pays for is also getting
his abuse. The dude who sits sideways,
legs across and all, looking out of the ear
window, taking at least three seats when
he only pays for one, is to be Strengthened
out. And the women who allow their
skirts to take twice rs much room as the
women themselves and refuse to contract
them are to be made to sit mp close" and
begin to behave. The trouble is not merely
one of manners or the abuses Of them, but
of morals. The average citizen of both
sexes has been thinking so long of his OF
her rights that it is most difficult to thinl;
of the rights of other people.
