Peculiar,ties of the Jail Bird.

The liberated jail bird is study for the close observer OL human nature and charac- ter. He looks nervously over his shoulder at every step, as if suspicious of being fol lowed, and is half inclined to break into run or to dive into the first secure alleyway that presents itself. It is apparent from the expression on each mans face that he can hardly realize that he is free once more. His independence actually expresses him and makes him i'll at ease. There is something about his clothes, too, that he cannot seem to forget However old they may be, they have at least Q certain feeling of newness to him, and he keeps constantly looking down at his wrinkled trousers, gives his coat sleeves a strengthening pull every thirty seconds, or brushes some particularly dirty spot that he observes on his vest with the palm of his hand. Then he takes off his hat to make sure that it is not the striped one he has worn for the past six months, and when he convinces himself that it is not he replaces it upon his shaven head again with grim satis- faction.
 The chances are that the jail bird will have a friend awaiting him outside the gate, or perhaps the wife whom he a short time ago almost murdered will be there with a baby in her arms, forgetting how he abused her and ready to welcome him back again On the other hand, if no one comes to receive him he will as soon as he reaches the first crossing, come to a sudden halt, with uncer- tain resolve which way to go. There are only three directions to choose from, that is certain; but which to take it is not little diff cult to decide. Had he a coin in his pocket it would be a toss up; but he is, unfortu- nately, not Overburdened with wealth. Sud- denly, however, he will hurry down down town, and ill moment is lost in the crowd on his way no one knows where. That same evening you may, perchance, see him sitting on one of the Battery Park benches, where if he happens to fall asleep he will be arrested for vagrancy, and next morning the same little high pressure tug that brought him to the city will carry him back for another sojourn among the granite quarries and produce gardens of Blackwells 1sland.-John Preston Beecher in New York News

NEW YORK IS SAFE.

The renomination of Governor Hill yes terday at Buffalo removes from the doubt ful column the great state of New York with its thirty-six electoral votes. It as sures the state to the democrats in No vember. The insignificant but noisy op- position that was raised by the mugwumps and a few malcontents in the democratic ranks faded before the united voice of the democracy as snow melts beneath the noon day sun. It lacked vitality; it was frothy and transient, and it failed as it ought to fail
 Governor Hill has made an admirable executive, and New York has prospered under his administration. Like all aggres- sive men he has made enemies, and some of them 1esorted to the most malignant and unfair means to defeat his renomination. They have followed him consistently and maliciously, but his political sagacity saved him from falling into the various holes which they industriously dug for him. A strong party man, vigorously staunch to the policy and principles of democracy, Governor Hill has been true to his party, true to the principles and policy to which he has subscribed his faith. His renomina- tion is deserved recognition of his great services, and we'll merited tribute of con- fidence and esteem.
 The platform endorses the democratic policy of tariff reform-not free trade, but reform that is ''predicated on the utmost care for established industries, jealous regard for the interests of American labor and sincere desire to relieve the country from the injustice and the danger of con dition which threatens evil to all the

Gas for the Cash.

''They have a strange new kind of gas meter in Paris,' remarked Gen. Hicken- looper.
 'What is it ike?'
 'It is somewhat on the principle of these chewing gum boxes at the centennial, where you drop a nickel in the slit and a stick of gum is measured out to you. In this meter you drop a certain number of pennies in a box and then that amount of gas is at your service. If you want more gas another sou must go into the box"
 That is a good idea"
 ''Yes, it is an odd trick. 4'eople are so economical in France and so many of them live from hand to mouth that I suppose that such a meter just fills the bill. There is such large, floating population that if the gas companies were not thus paid day by day for the illumination furnished they might find it hard to find any one at the end of month to present with bill"
 ''Going to try that kind of meter here?"
 "Cant tell; still, I do not think we want such thing just yet in America. But it wouldn't be a bad thing in some ways," and the general paused collectively as he doubt less thought that with such an automatic cash receiving meter there would be no un- paid gas bills.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Treatment for Weak Eyesight.

Near sighted, small or blinking eyes should have special treatment, the first care being never to expose them totrying light Small bOnnets and front light pouring into the face from window or lamp are responsible for the inferior, peering, uncertain eyes which abound. To enlarge the eye and to give it a noble steadiness of glance it must be ren- dered strong and the general health i'm proved. Dyspepsia weakens the eyes, and good treatment for this is ''liQuid food" for six weeks, with coarse toasted crackers, meat broths, and grape juice or lemonade if it can be borne. The use of grapes, lemons, and sub rosa, of garlic and onions, has great ef- feet on the eye. Tuscan and provencals, smooth skins, rich hair, and large liquid eyes to their diet of fruits, light wine, olive oil and the great regulating food, onions and to- matoeS. Chilly surroundings contract the eyes with the rest of the flesh and injure ex- pressiOn.
 Weak eyes and disordered stomach or kid neys exist together, and these must be set right before the eyes are good. The cool douche across the Joins and constant use of green parsley are the best remedies. 4 jet of weak salt water-a teaspoonful of salt to half pint of water-playing on the eyelid or spraying the closed eye with a vaporizer, strengthens and enlargeS the eye. Holding the eyelids apart at the corners with thumb and finger will enlarge the size of the eye in time, being careful not to fret or infame it. Outdoor work and use are indicated for every one with small inferior looking eyes, Open air pursuits, not carried to extreme fatigue, will restore the balance of the SYs- tenn, which shows it's bent i'll contracted or gans and limited force Skillful manipula- | tiOn and training will cure near sight or far l sight to the point of doing without glasses. When books and papers are printed in pica type, as they should be, much worthless mat ter will be dispensed with, and poor sight will be almost unknown. True distilled rose water is the best soothing lotion, and, next to that, dew off the grass.-Shirley Dare's | Letter

ALMOST EVERYBODY swEARs.
Carelsss Expressions Which Are Really I'm

Carelsss Expressions Which Are Really In
 vacations of the Defty-Isad Taste.
 When We come to think of it, almost every body swears. Not downright, up and up, out and out swear, to be sure, but some sort of makeshift for an oath falls now and then from almost everybody's lips. There are times when what are popularly known as ''cuss words" seem the only thing to fill the bill-the masculine bill, that is.
 Many oaths have lost their original signif- icance and evil virility, and survive merely as more or less innocent explosives for the relief of feminine feelings. How many of the women who a dozen times day ex- claim, 70 dear!" or 70 dear mel" stop to thlnk-or would know if they did think that these careless expressions are invOca- tions of the Deity. 70 dear!" comes from the Italian, 70 Dior meaning 70 God" and 70 dear mel" from 70 bio mio!" 70 my God" while II vum!" quite common expression among New England country folk, both male and female, Is doubtless corruption of II VOW to Him!" There be those who say that 'Dear suzl"-a favorite old fashioned feminine expletive-means, or once meant, Dear Jesus!" and who does not know that "Graciousn and "Goodness" mean "Gracious God!' and Eternal Good ness" if they mean anything?
 ne fuSUlc eVaQeS the OdUQ WlCn ms Il swan' By mighty" and similar expres- sions, which serve as a safety valve, without to his distinguishing the decalogue. Yet ''I swan!" can be traced to II swear to One," and By mighty" of course, means By the Almighty" That atrocious bucolic concatenation, II snum!" defies definition. but who can doubt that it originally meant something it ought not to mean?
 My good and devout old grandfather, who would as soon have taken life as the name of his God in vain, would have been horri- fled to hear that his semi-occasional "Zounds!" was but an abbreviation of Gods wounds!" while his brother, who in emergent moments was given to shouting ''S'death, sir!" would have been equally scandalzed to know he was swearing by His (Christ's) death"
 While there can be little question that swearing was reSorted to in the first instance to emphasize men's meaning, there can be no sort of question that the promiscuous pro fanity of today utterly defeats its own ob- ject. It emphasizes nothing but the speakers lack of meaning and of taste demonstrate with any habitual swearer, and he will say he ''means nothing by it." But, if be doesn't, why constantly violate not only the deca- logue, but the sensibilties of those about him?-Mary Norton Bradford in Boston

INGERSOLL FOR FREE WHISkEY.

Bob Ingersoll is good republican and cut quite figure in the Chicago conven- ton which declared for free whiskey. He accepts the platform of that convention and gulps it down whole. He don't at tempt to evade the issue at all. Bob don't believe in God, but he don't believe in hypocrisy either, and on this free W hiskey plank he talks right out as follows
 More liquor does not make drunkenness. The moral question of the whole thing is to have the burden of government rest as hand in hand with liberty. I do not think that if the Mississippi river ran pure whis key and the banks were loaf sugar, and the bushes were teaspoons and tumblers, there would be one more drunken man than now I am perfectly willing to have those who wear the foreign velvets and drink Chateau Yquem pay the taxes, but don't want to have the fellow who drinks the domestic article taxed one cent.
 Bob gives the correct exposition of the Chicago platform. The fellow who drinks the domestic article should'n mt be taxed one tax him on the food he eats, tax him on the house he puts up, tax him on the dinner pail he carries to his toll, tax him on the tools with which he earns his living, but don't tax him. one cent on the Jersey | lightning he drinks. Tax him on the sugar wit h which he sweetens his whiskey, tax him on the water he dilutes it with, tax him on the mint that havors it, tax him on the spoon that stirs the mixture and the tumbler he sips it from, but don't tax him on the old stuff itself. Free whiskey is the poor mans boon; the cheaper he gets it the better, and the less liable he is to get jag on. The rounder and the racketer, the roysterer and the rummy will throw up their hats for Bob, free whiskey and the republican platform.
 The slum vote would put Bob up for president on the Chicago platform. But then, summers and bummers, can't Harri- son get there just the same! He has endors- ed the Chicago platform, and that plat form is for free whiskey.
 Vote for Harrison, ye who want free whiskey.
