Human Eyesight.

When a man bows to another mar
who does not return his salute, the first
of the twain usually feels that all the
world is aware of his discontinue. He
need not feel SO, for no third man could
see both mods at once, and if he see A
nod to B, he will think B returned the
bow before he (C) could change his eyes
from one to the other. This inability Of
the eye may be demonstrated by com.
pairing a watch with q regulator by sec,

actly by keeping the eye for awhile on

clocks second hand, and then maintain

Why Mr.. Bigelow Declined.

1t now appears that the wife ofJohn
Bigelow induced him to decline the Of
fee OF sub-treasurer OF New York. A
Washington paper thus quotes aprom-
inent New York man:
When MIR. Bigelow went to the sub
treasury and found that he. would be-
come custodian of SITE, 100000 he
was appalled, at the idea. The i'm
mensity of the responsibility staggered
him. He discussed the appointment
with his wife, and told her OF the mill.
ions which would be confided to his
care, whereupon she most resolutely
set her face against his accepting the
place and urged him to decline it. She
pointed out that the anxiety would be
too much for him and it was her plead
ing which induced him to take the
step he did. / know this to be a fact.
i have keen given to understand on
very good authority thatMr. Bigelow,
in his letter to the president, l..en-
toned that his wife was opposed To
his taking the Office ditw was because
his wife's anne was brought into the
matter that his letter was not made
public. He was sensitive of the ridi.
aitle which he thought the Republican

Gen. Stoncman on Kit Karson.
In conversation the other day with
some gentlemen in the Governors of
flee, saysthe Sacramento, Cal, Record
Union, the name Of Kit Carson was
mentioned. The Governor said: poor

dered, open-hearted, bravefellow. Ire
member his spending a few weeks in
our camp in southern California in
ls47. The only way we could com
municate with the national capital
was by messengers on horseback. 1t
a a long, dreary, lonesome ride OF
5000 miles, fraught with many dam
gers. Kit was one of those scouts
who thought nothing of making such
trip. / taught him to write his
name while1ae was in camp. Having
been elected q lieutenant, it was
necessary for him occasionally to
sign papers. l remember he would
insist upon writing it in full
Christopher Columbus Demonstrating

Kit was genial. jovial and a most in
teresting companion. While in camp
we often played seven-up. and practis-
ed shooting the rifle together. Kit
could beat ME at both, being an adept
at cards and a crack shot. When we
played it was for q picayune,. and we
shot for the same stake. When Car
son was ready to leave tor the East
with his messages, ! cast up accounts,
and discovered that he was about SIS
ahead OF me. Our target was a small
silver coin, placed in a split in a limb.

old boy, let's have one last shot. I'll
bet you So that lean hit the picayune
at the first shot Agreed, said Kit,
and the money was put up. / walked
deliberately up to the coin, put the
muzzle OF the gun against it and blew
it to atoms. Kit was the maddest
man / ever saw for q few moments.
He walked about the camp in quite a
rage, and denounced my act as a
id mean Yankee trick He soon,
however, got over his pet, end seemed
to enjoy the laugh as much as any
one, and we parted, as we had always
lived, friends"

Powerf,1lT,inuor

General George A. Sheridan, whose
career in Indiana / mentioned briefly
last week, is INT of tho most entertain
ing conversationalists in the country.
l met him up town the other night when
he was discussing intoNicants. Said he:
cit is a singular state of affairs that
there is no nation n 1.-the face of the
globe, so far as known, that has not an
intoNicant of some kind. Ihad curiosity
once to go into an investigation of that
question in a very thorough way, and
my statement is the result of very care
ful study. The Indians, before we be-
gan to furnish them with fire-water,
knew of a plant from which they made
a drink thai was intoxicating. It had q
bulb in the center at the root and long
leaves from which the sap concentrated
in the bulb. 1t was thenexpressed from
the bulb and drank. The natives in
Louisiana as far back as 15SOraised a
sugar plant from which they expressed
the juices and made sugar and from that
a sweet rum. The Mexicans have a re-
markable drink. 1t is made from a
plant that grows in the country. They
skin a pig and tie up the hide at the
ends. They fill it with the juice from
this plant and then sew up the belly and
let it ferment. 1t makes Il delicious
beverage. You might drink a gallon
of it at night without feeling more than
a momentary exllilaration. But when
you woke up the hext morning you
would be more gloriously drunk than
ever before in your life, and it would
take forty-eight hours or so to get over
it.-Gath, IN NeW York Tribune.

stream may be gently warmed by flow
ing over some object exposed to the
heat of the fire. For instance, we
might lead itround the wainscoting in
q suitable channel furnished with nu-
merous small p~crforations, or under
the floor and through the carpet; or,
again, to secure greater warmth, it
might be discharged onto the warm r
faces near the fire. In this way a con-
siderable body of air may be warmed
without the use Of any special appara-
tus, the principle being to distribute it
over a large surface slightly heated, and
the accomplishment of this may be aided
by fringes and curtains, or by anything
that will break the currents up and dis
perse them about the room. As long
as no large body of cold air is moving
in any one direction draughts will not
be felt, and to moderate the general
flow toward the fireplace we may pro-
vide the fire with a separate pipe for
its exclusive use, either communicating
with the outside of bringing the bad
air from the neighborhood of the cell
ing. 1t would be desirable also to pro-
vide some means of fltering the air be-
fore allowing it to enter the room.
Thus warming and complete ventila-
ton of oom are by no means antag-
onistic operations. The two great
points to be attended to are, to warm
the walls and windows so that they may
not abstract heat by radiation, and to
provide an officially recognized entrance
for fresh air, and so to disperse it as it
comes in that it may be sufficiently
warmed by contact with objects in the
room, and may thoroughly change the
atmosphere of the apartment without
manifesting its presence in the shape
of draughts.

How The Circus Man Eats.

FROM tue COOK. .
Mr. James M. Nixon, who Knows all
about NJ circus, said to the Cook:
sssThere are no people, excepting the
plain5men--the skirmishers over the
wild country OF the west-who lead 50
hard allie as circus employees, both;
performers and workingmen. Their
life is not as hard now, it is true, as ic'
was some years ago, excepting with the
small concerns. They are the wagon
shows that travel through the small
towns. But even with the big con-
Germs that travel by train it is hard
enough now.
Take the case OF q wagon show that
has to travel thirty miles after anight
performance to get to the next town,
where a street processionist to be made
intheforenoon. The workmen, canvas
men and the like hasetotake breakfast
at11oscloek at night. Then they getno
meal till dinner, after the procession,
say atnoon. Wherever they are, the
WORK must be attended to first, and
eating isa secondconsideratlon. With
the performers, gynnasts, riders,
clowns andSthe like, it is not SO bad.
They get better pay and better food.
AS a rule, they live on the best food
there is to be had where they happen
to be, and they take a great deal of
Elt. Most OF them aregreat beef eaters,
and are not very particular whether
the meat is cold or hot, SO long as it
is good and plenty. They are very
particular, however, about cleanliness.
u have seen twenty or thirty OF them
get up and leave the table because the
tablecloth was dirty. And when they
want a meal they want it, and will
have it. I have often seen them leave
a hotel where they would haveto wait
fifteen minutes for a dinner that was
paid for, and go to a restaurant
where they would have to buy an
other. They won't eat unless they
are hungry; but they are always hun,
CIV after q night performance, and
will not 90 to bed without a hearty
supper. They say they can't sleep if
they are empty.
"One thing that is peculiar about
them is that they do not take medl-
cine, and they are remarkably healthy.
When they are out OF sorts they diet
themselves, each one according to
their own ideas, but | don't think /
ever saw $50 worth of medicine
around a circus in all theyears / have
been in the business. Yes, they drink.
Not to excess, but nearly all OF them
drink when they feel like it. They
never drink, however, before perform
ing. They r very careful OF them
selves. They have to be or they would
not last1ong.
Gas q matter OF course, with their
irregular habits, they are, in a certain
sense, extravagant. Their e1trava-
gance. however, is mainly in the mat
ter ofeating. Experience teaches them
very soon, if their own sense does not
at first, that they must take the very
best possible care OF themselves physi-
cally, and that good eating is a pri-
mary condition"
There has been in late years a vast
improvement in all departments of
the travelling circus, and in nothing
has this been more observable to those
in the business than in the provisions
made for the health and comfort Of
the employees. A good chief cook
with a circus will get as good a salary
as d first-class performer, and has to
earn it.
