Electric Light and the Eyes.

Medical journals have recently had
something to say concerning the effect of
electric lights upon the eyes, and have
agreed that the effect is very injurious
much more so, in fact, than people have
any idea of, because many persons af-
flicted with defective vision or an eye
trouble attribute it to cold or some other
cause, when the blame really rests with
the new and popular mode of illumina-
ton. A Tribune reporter asked DIR.
Samuel j. Jones, the well-known ocu-
list, if he thought the electric lights
made his business any better, and the re-
ply was: 'I'll not say anything about
my business, but I will say that | would
not work in or occupy a room lighted by
electricity"
"Why not?p .
"Because | think too much of my eyes
and am satisfied that the electric light
would play the mischief with them.
''How does the new light act upon the
eyes2"
SIN the first place. it is too brilliant
and dazzling, producing too much of a
strain on the optics and causing at times
an af1liction similar to snow blindness.
Then it is too unsteady, the Pickering
movement keeping the iris constantly
agitated In light room, for instance,
the iris is contracted to keep out super
fluffy of light, but going to dark room
it Immediately begins to expand to get
all the light possible, so that in short
time the room appears to have grown
lighter and objects become more distinct.
1t follows, therefore, that a fickering
light must keep the iris agitated and ul-.
timately cause Inflammation of the ret
ina"
"Can you find any good points about
the electric light9"
"There are several. 1t is a better IL
luminator than gas, not having the
orange ray; it does not consume oxygen
and give out noxious gases, aud it does
not give out any heat important CON
sideration in the summer time or in u
close room"
"How about the incandescent light"
"Well, to that can find no objection,
because it has about all the advantages
of the ordinary electric light, is not daz-
zling, and maintains a steady glow"
! as there no remedy against the i'll
effects of the ordinary arc lightF"
"Yes-keep away from it.
"But if that means keeping away from
jobl"
,"Well, colored glass will neutralize the
/ light to certain extent, but that would
be like wearing kid gloves to keep the
hands warm when the thermometer is
below zero. y Chicago Tribune.

.NubIa and the Nubians.

The banks of the Nubian Nile vary
with every mile, and beautiful are they
in diversity of color and combination,
though that beauty partakes of sterner
quality than in the landscape of Egypt.
Nowhere can be seen the rich fields,
which stretched on either shore away to
the feet of the Lybian hills. They have
disappeared, and in their stead rise from
the waters depths tall cliffs in broken
precipice and crag, or the river owning
free bonds, flows maiestically on beneath
rival streams of bordering sands, that
have the gorges of the desert hills
for channels, and the wind, which
ever silently drifts them whittier
it will for current. Poverty
is written on the face of this suns -scorched
country and such few strips of fertile
land as the Nile reaches in its flood arc
titled with Jealous care by the scanty
population which they support. 1t is
curious to note with what religious care
the villages and temples have been
placed upon the shelving rock or desert
sand, where none but the Lizards could
begrudge their presence. Every inch of
land that can be cultivated is cOaXed to
yield its burden of beans or doura, and
of spare land whereon to place their
villages, good sooth, there is enough.
Yet poor though the Nubian is, his wants
are few, and his thrifty ways make pov-
erty a light burden to him. Travel where
he will for hire or trade, he leaves his
heart in his wild home of Nubia, and
returns thither when fortune allows.
No music has for him so great charm
as the melancholy creation of the water
wheels, the constant plant of which
grease is never permitted to diminish,
all that he can get being devoted to the
shaggy locks of his unturbaned head.
Nature, who refuses him to dream of
ought but lean kline when he thinks of
doura fields, has given to his land the
abundance of date palms, and on fruit
he virtually subsists. Little cares an
Ibreemee palm for the deserts envy, but
spreading its feathery leaves above the
sand or rock gives to its planter the
much-prized fruit which enables him
to exc out the slender harvests of the
fields

Why Bismarck Admired Fleury.

The stories that Bismarck likes best
are those of men who have outwitted
mobs. During the siege of Paris, while
he was at Versailles, Il pass was applied
for by q relative of M. Cuvillier Fleury,
the eminent critic and member of the
French academy. The chancellor at
once gave the pass, saying: :" NJ. Fleury
is an admirable man. know a capital
story about him." The story was this:
M. Fleury, who had been tutor to the
Due d'Aumale, wasin 1913 private secre-
tary to the Duchess of Orleans. When
the revolutions of February broke out,
rabble invaded the Palais Royal, where
the princes IS resided and began smashing
works of art, pictures, statuettes, and
hicknacks. All the household was seized
with panic except NJ F)eury, who, throw
ng off his coat, smeared his face and
Aands with coal, caught up poker and
ushed among the mob, shouting;
= "Here, I'll show you where the best
pictures are" So saying he piled his
poker upon furniture of no value and,
thus winning the confidence of the
roughs, was able to lead them out of the
royal apartments into the kitchen regions,
where they spent their fury upon the
contents of the larder and cellar. The
sequel of this story is very droll, and
Bismarck relates it with great relish. 4
few days after he had saved the Paai
Royal, NJ. Fleury was recognized in th
street as the Duchess of Orleans secre
tary and mobbed He was being some,
what roughly hustled, when q hullling
water carrier elbowed his way through
the throng and roared: Let that man
be He is one of the right sort. Fl,

Mans Tongue and WOman's.

Clara Belle says in one of her New
York letters: l asked physician if
there really was any structural difference
between the tongue of woman and of
man.
Certainly" he replied "The organ
is attached to the floor of the mouth at
one extremity, and it is fact that in the
females the controlling muscles are much
more pliable than in males Those
muscles which control the acts of taste,
prehension and deglutition were not ap-
preciably diverse in the sexes, but those
related to articulation are enormously
developed in woman as compared with
man."

thing, and that didn't believe a word
of it; but, privately, l shouldn't wonder
if it was the Gospel truth.

A village Moved.

By the recent Spanish earthquakes, a
village in Grenada has been moved bod
lily some sixty feet in northward direc-
tion, deep semi. circular crevasse ap-
pearino on its former site. The course
of the little river near which the village
stood has been blocked up, and lake
is being formed. Many of the sulphur
springs with which the region abounds
suddenly ceased flowing, but reappeared
a day or two after in a state of unusual
heat, indicative, no doubt, of the chars

Typographical Errors.

The Globe Democrat, i'll speaking
about topographic accuracy, says:
Painstaking people, who know next
TO nothing Of printing, find special de-
light in searching out topographic En-
rors in newspapers, periodicals and
books, the detection Of blunder, i'll
their own estimation, putting a pre-
MUM on individual intelligence
comforting a privilege of disparaging
printers. Men of intelligence, who
write well but not legibly, never tire
of pointing out mistakes Of printers
and oversights proof readers. These
self-constituted censors oftypography
may find food for wholesome reflec-
ton in the fact that just about 100
years ago, a number Of professors in
the Edinburgh University undertook
the publication of a book which
should be perfect specimen of typo
graphy in accuracy. Every conceiva-
Bile precaution was taken 10 prevent
errors of the types. Six. experienced
proof readers were employed, who
devoted hours to the reading of each
page. After their careful task was
completed, each page was posted in
the hall Of the University, with a no.
LITIGATION that $50 would be paid to
any person who should succeed in
discovering an error. Every page re-
manned thus publicly exposed for two
weeks before being returned to the
printing office. The projectors of the
work felt confident that the object so
diligently striven for had been at
tanned. Great was the discontinue
of the learned men when Oh the work
being issued, several errors were
found, one occurring in the first line
of the first page.

The Progress Of Prohibition.

The Press of our leading cities do
not faithfully report the interest
taken by the general public in legis-
lalion, having for its object the dis
enlargement and prohibition of the
sale of Intoxicating drinks. There
are five states which have general
prohibitory laws, viz, Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Iowa and Kan
sas. All of these States have recent
ly added to the severity of the restric-
tons on the liquor traffic. The ley
islatures of Rhode Island, Tennessee
and Oregon are acting on resolutions
submitting prohibitory constitutions
al amendments to the people. SINH
lar resolutions were defeated by
small majoritics in Missouri, Michl-
gan, Texas, West Virginia and New
Jersey. A general effort is being
made to instruct the children in the
public schools as to the evil effects of
alcoholic Stimulants on the human
system. This is the case of the
schools of Maine, Massachusetts,
Pennsylvania, Alabama, Illinois,
Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, Nebras-
ka, Oregon and Nevada. Every pub
lie school graduate in these States is
being thoroughly posted as to the
physical and moral i'll that accom-
pamy even moderate drinking. In
other States effort is being made,
with every hope of success, to have
similar teaching. In addition TO the
five States that have general laws
prohibiting rum shops, twenty have
legal option laws, permitting the le-
gal voters Of the municipalities or
counties to prohibit or license the
sale of liquor. Thus in Georgia l0I
Of the 100 counties prohibit the sale
Of Intoxicating drinks within their
borders. by united efforts of the
friends of prohibition of all parties,
all of Maine, New Hampshire, YER
mont Iowa and Kansas, three lourths
OF Georgia, one-lhird Alabama, near

land, North Carolina, Michigan, and
many other States have prohibited
the dram shop. The agitation OF
general prohibilory laws is going on
in most Of the States in the Union
1t is worthy Ofnotice in tins connec-
ton that there has been no step back
ward, but the National Temperance
Society is OF the opinion that. while
the temperance men should vote for
prohibition candidates they should
not form parties of their own, bul
should act AS balance of power
] They should avoid being suspected
of any interest in one party NOR,

Important Judicial Decision


A Kentucky hen while being
driven out of a neighboring garden,
let fall an egg while she was flying
to the top Of the fence, which the
woman who drove her out picked up
and made use of. -..-
A suit being brought in the lower
court to recover the price Of the egg,
it was decided against the owner OF
the hen on the ground that the EGG
having been laid on the ground of the
defendant it was her egg"
The plaintiff then took the case up
to the Court of Appeals, and the de-
cision of the lower court was prompt
ly and properly reversed on the
ground that the action was wrongly
brought into that court, because the
word 'layed," having been used the
hen did not lay the egg, but dropped
