SHE NEVER SAW A MARD1-GRAs.

troubled with bad sight, and always de-

tke strongest kind of opera glasses in
~ addition to my eye glasses, procured
from the leading opticians, and yet
never saw procession Of any kind to
my satisfaction, or near as well as other
people could, until the Menus process

first time in my life, read all the signs
and posters, saw all the figures on the
fats and the miuutest d. tail distinctly.
II could never see the music score
when seated at the piano, and could
not sing from a sheet of music when
any one else held it. / have passed
friends and acquaintance on the street,
never being able to distinguish
them. l have sat in a street car
and handed my fare to my husband
and did not know him. l could have
ridden all the way home with him. not
knowing who he was if he did not
speak. In fact, l could hardly man
ton the many instances Of annoyance
my bad sight has caused.

IN. 1885 DR.. Prentice invented and
Copyrighted a mathematical system for
fitting spectacles or glasses which is,
undoubtedly, the most accurate of any
now in use. 1t is used in England.

Chicago, says it is the true principle.
Or. Holmes says he has found it very
useful. DR.. Fitch, a trustee CT the
Illinois Eye and Ear Infrmary, relies
on it almost exclusively. With this
system the most delicate and sensitive
eyes can be fitted with glasses so ac-
curately that they are relieved of all

Chinese Dog Skin Industry.


The rearing of dogs for their skins is
pursued in China just as sheep farming
is in Australia. There are thousands OF
small dog and goat farms scattered over
the northern districts of Manchuria and
Mongolia. Nature has provided a mag
nificent protection to withstand the cold
of these northern ATTITUDES, where the
thermometer Fahrenheit) goes down to
% dogs. below zero-that is, 81 dogs. of
frost-and it is doubtful il the dog skins
in any other part of the world are to be
compared with those that come from
Manchuria or Mongolia, either in size,
length of hair or quality. The fur is at
its best during the winter, and the dog is
killed before the thaw sets in, which is
effected, not by the knife, which might
injure the fur, but by strangulation.
1t Is difficult to understand how the
farmers can rear the animals for the
price they obtain for the hides. To pro
vide a well made dog skin rug at least
eight animals must be slaughtered, which
at three taels per rug of eighty inches by
sixty-three inches would allow not quite
fifty-flve cents per dog, including the
sewing, choosing, etc, for the skins must
fairly match in color. The flesh, how
ever, is no doubt used for human food;
the market value thereof enters largely
into the farms profit and loss account.

SOME hair trigger genius on the San

the New York Herald as "Mr. Blaine's
special organ" THE LEADER did moth
ing of the kind. 1t simply published a
quotation from the New York Herald in
which that paper in abiding to the New
York Tribune said: 1.-THE principal pro.
lection newspaper and Mr.. Blalne's spe-
cial organ announces in yesterdays issue
that MIR. Blaine returned from his Euro
pean Journey with thirty-two trunks and

nounces the trunk story untrue. Perhaps
it is. The New York Tribune is our

A GOOD many journalists who do not
propose to assist Mr.. Cleveland's candid
acy under any circumstances are crying
out impatiently for his letter of accept
ance. Why2 asks the Chicago Times.
The letter is not necessary in order to as
certain whether or not Mr.. Cleveland will
be a candidate. HIS acceptance has been
signified. The formal answer is nothing
more nor less than a campaign document.
Custom does not regulate the time of Its
delivery. That is a matter of policy to be
determined by the interested persons. Ii
would manifestly be polite to give pub
licity to such a letter at a time when dis.
%cussion, misrepresentation, misinforma-

rectly on the campaign, and therefore

IN A NUTSHELL.

In the whole range of the tariff debate
the wool question is the most interesting
to Wyoming readers In response TO the
request of q reader the New York World
sums up the matter very succintly in
these words: "All the wool used in this
country is grown here. The quantity i'm.
ported is insignificant and growing smaller
yearly. But we only grow about one
third the wool we can use, and only about
one third the AMOUNT required by 1890
woollen mills employing $4,000 hands.
The result is that we have to import
foreign manufactured woollen goods in
which there is more foreign raw wool than
we nov make. Ii we could get the raw
wool. whether American or foreign, we
could manufacture the woollen goods and
double or treble the amount of work
for our wooIworkers, keep all our
woollen mills running on full time
and woman every loom. But. we
cannot. The American farmer cannot or
will not raise enough. Our manufactur-
ers cannot afford to pay a tax on foreign
wool of 40 to GO cents a pound. The Re-
publican party says we shall employ for
eigners to make for us in foreign countries,
from foreign wool. the wooden cloth we
must have and cannot make here for lack
of wool. The Democratic party says that
cloth shall be made heie on our W
looms, by our own workmen, and instead
Of importing the foreign cloth we shall
merely import enough foreign wool to
keep our looms busy.

THE SUMS ENERGY.
Striking Illustrations Intended to Gil,
Readers AN Idea of It.

Striking Illustrations Intended to Give
Readers AN Idea of 1t
The most satisfactory way of arriv-
ing at an idea of the enormous energy
of the sun is by measuring the amount
of heat which his rays are capable OF
generating; and further, by oul
knowledge of the relation which ex-
lists between heat and mechanical
work, we are able ut once TO estimate
the amount of work which the sun is
capable of doing, and also the quanti-
ty of energy he must be losing year
by year BY suitable arrangements
we can cause certain quantity of his
radiation TO be abs orbed by water or
other substance, and note the rise OF
temperature which results. and as we
know the mechanical equivalent OF
each degree of temperature in water
for instance. it is only y matter of cal
culation to arrive at a knOwled &C OF
the SUMS total energy. Like every
thing else connected with this wonder
ful body. figures give us no adequate
conception of his energy, and various
illustrations have been used by differ
ent Investigators. Thus, Herschel
considered it in relation to the guam.
tity of ice which it would melt in
given time. and states that the amount
of heat which the earth receives wher
the sun is overhead would melt ar
iuch thickness of ice in two hours and
thirteen minutes From this it can be
calculated that If the body of the sun
were entirely surrounded by sheet OF
ice on its surface of more than n mile
in thickness the suns heat would en-
tirely melt this coating of ice in the
same time-namely. two hours and
thirteen minutes. Prof. Young uses
an even more striking illustration.
He says: IF we could build up a solid
column of Ice from the earth TO the
sun. two miles and n quarter in diam
eter. spanning the inconceivable abyss
of 49, 600, 000 miles, and if the sun
should concentrate his power upon IL.
it would dissolve and melt, not in
an hour, not in minute, but
in single second; one swing of the
pendulum, and it would be water;
seven more. and it would be dissipated
in vapor." OF course. of this enormous
quantity of heat the earth receives but
very small fraction. The remainder
except, of course. what the other plan
cts receive. passes away into space,
and is lost forever. so far rs can be
ascertained, to the solar system. II
we estimate in mechanical power what
we do receive, we find this TO be or
each square foot of surface equivalent,
on the average. to about fifty tons
raised mile high yearly, or to one
horse power continuously acting. tC
every thirty square feet of the earth's
surface. 1t is by this enormous supply
of energy that the whole world is kept
alive and active. 1t keeps us warm.
and drives our steam-engines and
