How To Deal With SuspiciOns.

There are many suspicious that need
crushing in the bud. We fancy our friend is
cool to US; we imagine some one has sighted
us; we suspect our neIghbor Of having spoken
i'll of u.s. Most likely we are mistaken, and,
in any case we could never probably search
in 10 the matter. Our trust In our friend or
our own self-respect should lead us to put
away such thoughts, to abandon such sus-
pcions. Some one has, perhaps dropped a
poisonous word Of scandal into our ears,
Let US Danish 1t from our thoughts with
scorn. Circumstances may tend to cast
suspicion on one whom we honor; let us
continue to trust him in our hearts. We
NAV fear that some one has committed q
fault which, however, does not concern us In
the least, and in which we are not call
ed upon to interfere; let us eXpel the
idea as an unwelcorne intruder. In one of
these two ways suspicion may be rightly
dealt with. Ii as a warning it has mission to
perform, 1t will do its work; II 1t Is an un-
WORTHY or an ide conjecture, 1t will be dis
missed In either case II will pass away, as
all suspicious are meant to do As transient
guests of the mind they may he useful in es
tabiishlng the innocence which should be
brought to light, or In proving the guilt
hitch should be purged away. But as per.
manent inmates of the mind their influence
is most pernicious ledger.

You must give up chewing gum
An advanced pupil in fashionabl,
uptown school was consulting her ply
stefan regarding her health. and thi.
is his version of her storj and his ad
vice:
"Why. doctor. that surely can't hurt

Il would almost as soon see 20,

chewing will ruin your eyes. The mus
cles Of the jaw connect with the spine
and from the spine there are little
tibrous tissues running in all directions.
A number of these extend to the eyei
and are called the optic nerves. Now
if you will watch a person eating 20,
will notice palpitation of the temples
when the lower jaw moves up ant
down in the process of mastication
This is caused by the working OF tn,
optic nerves, which keep the inner par
of the eyes in motion and exercise the
nerves as much as Is needed to keel
them in a healthy condition. Thes
nerves are more tender and SENSITIVE,
to degree than you would imag ne
When they are overworked they be
come shrunken and enfee bled. and thei
the process of deterioration in the eye
sight begins Of course the shrink ms
of the nerve draws the eye back int,
the socket. and as it is connected b.,
slender threads of tissue to the pupi
of the eye this also becomes affected
The consequences is that the eye be

comes an unnatural.looking gray. ant

Hardly Encouraging to Can't.

There is probably no Bostonian con-

number have been shaped out of all
reorganization by the different story .tellers
through whose hands they have passed.

irritable, and didn't mince words when
he was excited A puritanlcal looking

A Canal Across Italy.

An Italian engineer, Sig. Victor Brocca,

posed canal across Italy. the object of
which is to save the very long journey
round Cape Leuca. This canal would be-
gin on the Western side, near Castro. on
the Tyrrhenian sea, and reach the eastern
coast Of Fano, on the Adriatic. Its length
would be about one hundred and eighty
miles and its proposed breadth 10 yards
and its depth forty feet For the pur-
poses of the canal it would be necessary
to drain the two lakes, Bolsena and
Thrasimene. The assumed cost of this
gigantic undertaking is set down at $50,

Effects of Treasury Operations.

1t is not difficult to follow the effects of
the treasury operations on the condition of
the New York associate banks The secre-
tary last week bought very largely OF gov
eminent bonds, some four or five millions.
The effect was at once visible During the
week the banks increased their specie S. 726,-
900 and also their surplus over the legal re-
serve S2,Sl3,00 though their loans were con
,racted only S69J, 900.
- Without the surplus in the treasury the re
would be close money market this aut umn.
IL the condition OF the treasury was such
that it did not have a dollar to spare to buy
bonds, when a financial pinch or panic oc
Cured it could do nothing to re- ieve the bust
ness community. The surplus acts as a safe
ty-valve. So long as We have debts to pay 1t
is not so bad feature in our national affairs
as Cleveland and his bowling followers pro-
claim.
During the destructive panic of 1873 the
treasury had no surplus and was therefore
poWerless to relieve the community in its
sore distress President Grant thoroughly
appreciated this misfortune, and remarked
that had the treasury been strong the subse
quent devastation and ruin would have been
largely prevented.
But Grant was a statesman and Cleveland
is politician, and such men rarely agree on
business questions -UAcu"see Wisconsin.
