Bad For The Eyes.

At recent meeting of the Chicago
Medical society, DR.. w. F. Coleman
read paper on sThe Effect of To-
bacco on the Eyesight. I" He said
that to consider the physical effect OF
q poisonous weed, ,fit for neither man
nor beast, yet consumed alike in ev-
cry quarter of the globe by sage and
savage, saint and sinner, was a SUBJ
ject of no little consequence. He
knew Of no more constant effect of
the use Of tobacco than more or less
impairment of vision known as am
blyopia. The use of tobacco was so
commonly associated with the use Of
liquor that twas q question with many
whether or not alcohol was not the
chief or only causative. In England
the belief among surgeons was that
tobacco was the more frequent cause
OF amblyopia, while in America al
cohol was considered the primitive
agent. The speaker declared that
most of the textbooks supported
the idea that the use of tobacco caus-
ed Impairment Of the sight. Smok-
ers were the more frequent sufferers
especially the smokers Of pipes and
cigarettes. In the course of his
practice he had come in contact with
many persons suffering from various
defects of sight who smoked but did
not drink. Such defects were cured
by abandoning the use of tobacco,
and, if need be. taking small doses |
of strychDine.
As illustrations the doctor referred |
to the four patients not addicted to
drink. One of these was a man who |
him in 1884 on account of
defective sight. The vision Of the
right eye was two-thirds its usual
strength, the left one-half. The pa
tient had smoked six pipes daily for
eight years. He was advised to stop
smoking and strychnia was prescrib-
ID. Two months later he reported
hat he had followed the advice and
hat his sight was restored.
"But," said the speaker, s'to deny
hat tobacco produces amblyopia be-
'ause so large number smoke this
poison with impunity is as reasona-
,le as to deny smallpox car repro
luce itself because the majority Of
be people escape, or that cirrhosis
# the liver is caused by drinking
'ecause so many dram-drinkers es-
ape"

The OdOr of the bayfield,.
uoericau Oricnl1IriSt

Going from New England to western
state many years ago, the writer was
struck with the difference between the
two localities in the haying season. In
the older states the air at haying time is
redolent of the most delightful fragrance,
making it pleasure to be out of doors.
At haying time in the western locality
there was only clean, weedy odor, quite
unlike that to which we had been accus-
toned In locking into the reason for
this lack of pleasant odor at haying, we
examined the hay, and, while all the
usual grasses were present, we could find
no trace of the sweet scented vernal grass,
anthoxanthum odOratum, SO common in
eastern meadows In itself this grass has
little value Indeed, its chief merit lies
In its odor. This is developed as the
heritage dries, and a few spears of this
grass viii impart its fragrance to a large
mass of hay. This grass should always
form part of mixture for seeding a
lawn.

Soap Bubbles.
rEznhnnnn1

A good rule for making soap bubbles is
this:
Into quart bottle of rain water put
four ounces of pure palm oil soap sliced
into thin shavings. Shake the mixture
well until the water will dissolve no more
soap. Let it stand until 1t settles perfectly
clear. Then add to two volumes of this
soap-solution one volume of pure concen-
trated glycerine.
This preparation will make stout bub
bles whose changes in color and shifting
of hues will repay for the trouble.

She wished to take plenty of money along
to those regions of highwaymen and in a
way which would battle them. So she
had a travelling dress trimmed lavishly
with buttons costing SO to a 800 each.
The cheaper ones contained gold pieces
neatly laid between the wooden molds,
which were covered with cloth in the
usuaa fashion. The costlier buttons were
similarly stuffed with United States notes
AS fast as she requires cash she will clip
