A Delicate operation.


 Ex-Constable N. R. Enscoe of Edwards street, whose office is in Exchange building, is in New York at Dr. Knapp's for the sec ond and concluding operation for the re- Enoval of a cataract from one of his eyes. The chief operation was performed several weeks ago, resulting in the successful removal of the cataract and the restoration of sight to the diseased member. The use of cocoaine as an anesthetic was successfully resorted to. The final operation is comparatively light and painless. The cataract was of about two years, growth. A German resident of Nash street is also at Dr. Knapp's for the hnal operation upon one of his eyes. He had two cataracts successfully removed there, one from each eye. The first was removed two or three yearsago, the last a few weeks l ago, -=-s,--a--4-

ions concerning convict labor which are worth attention. He says: If they have not something to do half of them will become raving lunatics in little while. Why, you will find men here Sundays begging for work, for something to do to keep from too close association with themselves and their own thoughts. I should be like them had not cultivated the habit and become an in- veterate reader. But the men who come here and have no taste for reading are not able. even by their work, to keep from be. coming prey to their own broodings, and for that reason they leave here worse than they come. Take away their work, and you take away the one thing that now keeps these men out of the insane asylum I have managed to keep my health and strength, but it was by discipline. That discipline would have been of no avail, SO far my own efforts were concerned, had not had work for twelve hours out of every twenty four. I never knew how pleasant hard work was; and how much satisfaction and enjoyment could be found in it. If had not had hard work, should have been by this time a wreck and candidate for the Kankaree asylum.

HOW A MAN SEWS ON BUTTONS.
What a Cruel woman Says About {
 Chap With a Needle.


 Chap With a Needle.
 From the Housekeeper.l
 Did you ever see a man in the solitude and privacy of his study attempt to sew but ton on by himselfs It is, in all it's details, one of the most intere sting performances in the world.
 First, he hunts for button. Generally, to secure it he robs Peter to pay Paul, and cuts one from some other garment. This may be much smaller than the size he is wearing. Next, he hunts for a needle. Prob- ably he goes out and buys paper of needles. He always chooses the largest, having an impression that large needles will sew stronger than small needles.
 AS to the thread, he gets the coarsest he can find, and this he doHbles. He would thread his needle. He takes the big needle in one hand and his coarse black thread in the other; he bites of the thread to the de- sired length; then he tries to twist it to a fine point. Generally in this he succeeds in making two and sometimes three fine points out of one end. Of course he can't get all these points through the needles sye at once. He tries hardsto make the needle and thread get on friendly terms with each other. Sometimes he really imagines he has thread ed his needle. It is an ocular delusion; the thread has missed the needles eye by half an inch. It is harder work than saving wood.
 At last the needle is threaded. Now he | tries to sew the button on without taking his 1 trousers off. This proves a failure He | twists himself into an uncomfortable pos | ition, and 50 would sew. But he cannot sew so. He runs the needle into his finger and makes an inaudibls exclamation. Again l the needle slips into the feshy part of the hand, wich induces a very audible dash from l the operator. The recording angel knows what is going on inside of him, and debitt him with every item. He sews hard.
 He has forgotten all about the necessity for thimble. He jams his thumb down on the needles head and it punctures his thunt or runs under the nail. By and by he sews the button eye full of thread. His big nee dle does not pass through any more. H' must stop. He ends by winding tho thread as many times as it will go under the but ton, and perhaps he leaves of with two O three inches of thread sticking outside. woman can, through many outward indica tions, tell when man has been trying t. sew on 8 button. He doesn't know tn ehibbolethssof needle and thread and it catch es somewhere every time. At last tn button is sewn on, and he is proud of hl l work

even in this country, Howells finds his best type in the Californian. What takes inc place of it among the Latin races is the courtesy of the high-bred gentleman to. ward the lady who is his social eonslN which is wholly different thing.
 A similar point of evolution in tb;s country is the decorum of public asseno. bly,. It is known that at the early toWn meetings in New England men sat with their hats on as in England. Unconscious. ly, by a simple evolution of good man ners, the habit has been outgrown in America, but Parliament still retains it. Many good results may have followed inn perceptibly from this same tendency to de- corum. Thus MT. Bryce points out that the foreible interruption of a public meeting by the opposite party, although very com mon in England, is very rare in America.
 In general with us usages are more fexi- ble, more adaptive; in public meetings, for instance, we get rid of great many things that are unutterably tedious, as the English practice of moving. seconding and debating the prescribed vote of thanks to the presi. ding officer at the end of the most insienifi- cant gathering. It is very likely that even our incessant self-criticism contributes to- ward this gradual amelioration of habits, In that case the wonder is that our English cousins, who criticise themselves quite as necessarily, move so slowly

A Seafartng Cat that Has Painted ned
 Many Ports of the old World.
 From the Philadelphia Record.l
 ''The Nipsic was saved by a mascot" said a seafaring man who had spent years aboard the vessel when he heard of the terrible cy- clone at Samoa. The Nipsic was the only one of the three of the American vessels that withstood the hurricane last week. All the old salts lay the good fortune of the Nip sic to the fact that the mascot was aboard Sailors are as superstitious as base ball players, and indeed they may be said to be even more 50. The men on the Nipsic be- lieve that good luck will attend them just so long as Charley stays aboard. To injure the cat would be serious matter should the of- fender be caught.
 The first name of the mascot of the Nip sic is Charley, but nobody seems to know his last name He isa white and gray cat, even to the monstrous jowls and the ab- breviated tail. Charley is veteran of the | high seas, having been all around the world | 8 number of times, and he has painted all l the big cities of Europe red upon more than one occasion when off on a lark with his | messmates.
 | Thomas Whelan of this city, who was | marine on board the Nipsic for two years | tells some queer stories about Charley. One day the Nipsic put into Gibraltar to replen ish it's store of provisions. There was al English man-of~war alongside the wharf

ASSURANCE AND LAW.

A curious case has recently been decided by the New York court of appeals. Mat thew Paul was insured in an accident con- pany. and there was a stipulation in the policy that the insurance should not extend to death caused by s'inhaling gas." One morning about 2 o'clock MT. Paul was found dead in his bed at hotel in New York City. His room was filled with gas, and it was seen that this was the cause of his death. The company, relying upon the stipulation of the policy, declined to pay, and was accord ingly sued. Who caused the gas to escape could not be proved, but the court decided against the company in spite of the stipula- tion, and said: In expressing it's intentions not to be liable for death from 'inhalling gas'' the company can only be understood to mean voluntary and intelligent acr by the insured, and not an involuntary and uncon- seious act. Of course the deceased must have in a certain sense inhaled gas, but in view of the finding that the death was caused by accidental means the proper meaning of words compels, as does the logic of the thing the conclusion that there WAS not that vol untary or cn.svfous act necessarily involved in the process of inhaling.
 This is making pretty nne point, but the life and accident insurance companies have not had very good luck in the courts.
 When the first case arose where the loss was occasioned by suicide the company re- fused to pay, of course, for it was written in black and white ths. if the insured should die by his own hand the policy should be oi no effect. But not so decided the court. The jndges declared that a man who com mitted suicide was necessarily insane; that an insane man was not legally responsible for his acts, and that by taking his own life he could not deprive his family of the bene fits they were entitled to under the insur' ance policy, reasoning became the rule al law and was maintained by various court. until its fslIicv was exposed by MT. Justice Miller in leading case decided by the Su- preme Court of the United States. Tha court sustained the doctrine that the act o an insane person cannot vitiate policy o1 insurance, but that he must be proved to bt insane by other evidence than the mere act of committing suicide.

ALEXA DEK OF SERV4A. Will the Hoy King Be Assasinated or
 KfduRDDed2


 King Alexander of Servia, who is but 12 years old, and who has no father mother to watch over him, is exposed the Vienna correspondent ot the Times observes) to all enterprises of the pretender, Prince Peter Karageogevitch. The father of this prince was convicted before Hungarian court of justice of having been accessory to the assas- sination of Prince Michael, the uncle of King Milan. In these eastern European states po- litical struggles are fierce, and human lives are not rated highly. In the case of King Alexander, who apparently remains the last descendant of the Obrenovitch dynasty, the one security against murder or kidnapping would be that an heir should be upstanding, in order that the boys removal should entail no political consequences But, according to the Fremdenblstt, Count Kalaoky has left the boy King absolutely defenseless. This is a real shame, and whatever may be the rights and wrongs of King Milan's qusrrels with his wife, all right-minded people in Eu- rope will revolt at the idea that the boy King should ba left without parent to exercise guardianship over him. From the moment when his father deserted him his mother be- came his natural guardian. It is said tbat the boy Is now crying constantly for his moth CT, and meanwhile, official telegrams are de- clsrirg thst Queen Natalie cannot he allow ed to return to Servis. This is absurd and atrocous A thrill of horror would run through every honest man and woman in the world if it We're heard that this child King, now left to the care of professional politi- cians, had been suddenly assassinated. This is no extravagans fear. King Milan's own words to me UEe correspondent ssys) when he pointed out that no ruler of Balkan state had yet died quietly in his bed, sufficiently showed his keen sense of the dangers which surrounded himself. It is only pity that he should not perceive that similar peril encom- pass his son.

A Novelty in Shopping.

Electric motors are now a regular trade
 product, and can be bought, in variety
 of styles and shapes, ready made, precisely
 as we may by steam engine or a turbine,
 says writer in the Century for March. They
 They are made ir @ number of sizes, ranging
 from one-tenth of horse power upward. A
 motor of one-eight horse power weighs only
 fifteen pounds, and measures 715x5x3 inches.
 It can be placed in any position, right side
 up upside down, or fixed on wall, and will deliver power from it's pulley in any required direction. Larger motors occupy more space in proportion, but any motor, whatever its size, can be placed in any position where it rests firmly on it's base. An electric motor will operate in any ordinary temperature and in any climate, provided it is kept dry. It is practically cold; that is, it gives out no in furious heat while at work. Even when run- ming at very high speed it is safer, so far as mechanical injury is concerned than any other form of machine or motor. Of it's two chief points, the magnets and the armature, only the latter is subject to wear and tear, and this wear is confined to the bearings. Thessenergy passing through the magnets ap- pear, so far as our senses show us to have no effect on the material of the magnets, and | they remain practically unchanged through years of service. When not at work the motor is at complete rest, and. all cost of maintenance ceases, except the interests and l the slight cost of keeping such enduring me- l tals as copper and iron by rust or fire. Ad- I ded to these advantages is that the electric motor receives it's supply of energy through ! a wire.
