Romcving Notes from the Eye.

The following is simple and expe-
ditious way of removing specks from
the eye. The only instrument needed
is wooden toothpick or match, made
sharp at the point Hard wood, how
ever. is preferable. The sufferer
stands in good light and rests his
body and head against a door. post or
some fixed object With the thumb
and a finger the operator holds tho
eyelids sufficiently apart to see plainly
the front Of the eye. and also to pre-
vent winking. II the speck be on the
corner it may be very difficult to see
it. and it can then only be found by
changing the direction OF sight until a
favorable position is secured. The
most difficult part OF the business is to
have the inexperienced person fix the
sight on some object and hold the eye
perfectly quiet II this can be done
only for few seconds the operator
approaches the mote with the point of
the stick, still holding the eyelids. and
with gentle passes and gradual adj
vances soon touches the speck and
brings it away. The transparency OF
the eye makes it nece ssary to approach
the surface with care. or it will be
reached before it is expected. IT the
mote be hidden underneath the upper
eyelid the eyelash should be gently
raised. while the upper part OF the lid
is held downward with the stick.
When turned the stick is withdrawn
and the lid is held in this position by
the eyelash. Where iron is worked
particles of metal are sometimes
allowed to remain in the eye for sever
al hours. when they seem TO rust fast
and cannot DO removed by stick. In
such cases the point OF II penknife blade.
made sharp. is used. and If it is magna-
tized, SO much the better.

Ths Judicial Women.

A clever man the other day was CIV
ing his opinion of women. and this is
what he said: ITO my mind the judi
cial woman is a dismal blot on the
face OF the universe. We don't want
women who can reason and work
things out. We want dear. delightful,
frivolous things who will float by us in
butterfly fashion. making US no end OF
trouble. and inducing us to be willing
to kill each other for their sakes. The
time when woman was at her best to
my way of thinking. was in the middle
ages. when she sat up in window of
u turretted castle, threw her handker-
chief down to one knight. and hated
rival rushed at him as he grasped it,
and they flew at each other end
knocked their tin hats of, the hated
rival was stretched out stiff and cold,
aud the maiden in the turret applauded
her gallant knight, and believed that
he had done we'll. The judicial female
is a mental hermaphrodite," SO says
one man.

Adams Boyhocd.

Adam was as mischievous as boys
generally are, probably. Darwin says
he was "a perfect little monkey"
which. l believe. is synonym for
mischief the world over. But unfor-
tunately for Adam, he had no comrade
in his gambols. What fun could he
have ringing door-bells at night or
skylarking around all by himself? He
might whistle and sound discordant
calls after dark, but no other little
boy would come dashing around the
corner to join him.
l can imagine little Adam, plated
with human nature two inches thick.
looking about for some way in which
to divert himself. and whimpering,
Cant have any fun!' OF course he
couldn't have any fun. such as boys
like. No fun running away from
school. cause school hadn't been in
vented. No fun stealing away to Ego
in swimming" all clone by himself.
He couldn't play tag" for he might
yell. 1--WE got the tag" all day and
there would be no other boy to come
and try TO take il away from him.
"High-spy" had little charm for him.
because boy soon gets tired Of hid'

3 circus a. a certain good-sized 6wn
in Ohio, ''strong man." who had a
weeks iay-of from the museum cir
cult. dropped down on a visit to some
Of his relatives. There was no dis
count on him as a ''marvel OF strength"
and tho wood-cut which pictured him
throwing bull over six-rail fence
was not much of an exaggeration. As
soon as it was discovered that he had
no particular scruples against the
flowing bowl, the boys set out to have
little fun. Early in the forenoon of
circus day an alleged circus man watt
ed on 1.-THE great western giant" and
intimated that he was q fraud from
way back. and that his marvellous
feats OF muscle were tricks and de-
lusious. This had the effect hoped
for, and four or five glasses of beer
did the rest.
Soon after noon the strong man
sailed down to the circus grounds to
demand an apology. The people had
begun buying tickets and the circus
officials were too busy to talk. The
way they ignored his presence made
the strong man madden than ever, and
he started for the entrance. The two
men stationed there tried to prevent
his ingress. but he threw one into u
farmers wagon and the other over a
lemonade stand. and entered the tent
Six Of the circus men now rallied on

and every single man connected with
the circus rallied in response. As they
came with clubs. necz-yokes and
wagon stakes the strong man looked
about for some weapon. There was a
long-tailed bulldog lying under the
sacred cows cage. and he grabbed
him by the tail and widened the circle
and finally broke through it smashing
every man who opposed him. When
clear OF the circle he pushed baby
elephant off her legs, upset a candy
wagon, tore down d section OF seats
about forty feet long, and appeared
outside to exclaim:
Gan fraud and delusion, is it?
Haven't any moral right to my title.
eh? Well, mebbe l haven't, but l
guess this crowd won'tdispute it!''
And he pulled the ticket wagon over
on its beam ends. flung bale Of hay
into side show, and took the middle
OF the road to walk back to the hotel

HOW THE WORLD GROWS.
The Question Now Il, How Soon viii the Earth
Be 0verpsoplsal

The Question Now IL, How Soon Will the Earth
Be overpsopleai Nv,
None of tho addresses made at the
recent meeting OF the British Asso-
citation have excited more discussion
than the speech in which Mr.. Raven
stein estimated the maximum pupu-
lation which the earth can feed and
the epoch at which that maximum
will be attained, provided the present
rate OF increase continues. Mr.. Raven =
STEMS premises are in part derived
from the computations OF the most
authoritative geographers. These ex-
perts aver that the comparatively
fertile land of the earth comprises
49, 600, 900 square miles, the bare grass
land or steppe IA, 900. 900, and the bare
desert 4,1S0,000. making about 49,
900, 900 square miles in all. They also
say that the present population OF the
world is 1,46S, 900. 900, and that it
increases 8 per cent. every ten years.
Taking these data for granted, and
ulco assuming that the average yield
OF all the cultivable land upon the
globe will not exceed the present
average of European productiveness.
Mr.. Ravenstein reaches the conclusion
that 1872 years hence the population OF
the earth will amount to about
5000. 900. 900. and that this will be the
utmost number Of people which the
earth can feed.
The objection to this pessimistic
conclusion is that two OF the assump-
tions are obviously disputab!e. It is
DO no means probable that, as popu:a-
ton presses on the means of subs ist-
ence, the present rate OF increase will
be maintained. The experience of
France seems conclusive on that point,
and even that OF the United States
points in the same direction.
Mr.. Ravenstein's address to the Brit
ish Association ended with the admis-
sion that we need not worry ourselves
about his calculations. seeing that one
of us will live to see the day when
there will be no moro room upon the
earth. We may go further and predict
that 1872 years hence there will be as
little cause to IVORY about the dis
proportion OF population to food as
there is now. so long as climate condi-
tions are not materially changed. The
state OF things is scarcely conceivable
under which the brain OF man would
not devise the means OF supporting the
human race upon this planet.

Boston, May GA bold burg
larry was committed at WatertOn
last night at the house Of Bemis, a
retired Boston manufacturer, the
burglar getting away with several
thousand dollars worth Of securities.
Bemis is about SO years OF age and,
with his hOusekeeper, Mrs. Murphy,
lives in one Of the pleasantest parts
Of town. He is 4 man OF wealth.
1t was some time after 1890 this
morning when Mrs. Murphy was
aroused by a noise in her sleeping
chamber aud she was Mortified when
she was fairly awake TO find a man
in her room, partly masked and
close 10 her bedside. She was stil
more startled TO see him approach
her and draw a revolver. As he
did so, he said that he had broken
into the house to rob it and de-
manded Of her that she tell him
where the money and securities
were kept. She answered that
there was no money In the house
and pluckily refused TO get up.
He thereupOn sat down on the
edge OF the bed, poked the revolver
under her nose and insisted that
there was. He said that she had
been there a good many years and
that she knew where all the valu-
ables were kept. She still hesitat-
ing; he roughly said, sect up and
get me the money" With the re-
yolver in unpleasant proximity TO
her head aud on a threat Of its being
used unless she complied, she finally
consented, only asking for time to
dress herself.
To this the burglar consented, and
then. placing her in front Of him,
he directed her to lead him 10 the
room Of Bemis. Once there she
awakened the old gentleman, but
had some difficulty in making him
understand the state Of affairs, as he
Is very deaf. After a deal ofscroech-
ing, however, he learned the object
OF the visit and began to offer re-
sistanee. The burglar threw him
back on to the bed and held him
down by sitting on him. In the
scrimmage be got his hands under
one Of the pillows and brought out n
calico bag, which contained several
thousand dollars, with bonds and
stocks, most Of them negotiable, be-
sides a gold watch and two en-
velopes, in which there were about
500 in bills. Taking all this, he
asked il there were any other valu-
ables in the house. On being told
that there were mo-, he went through
4 lower window in the house, which |
he had fixed open in making his
entrance. 1t is possible that the |

EYRAUD IN PRISON.
The Notorious Murderer Makes n
Voluntary Sfatement.

HAVANA, May 29.-when Ely
raud, the murderer Of Notary
Gouffe, was arraigned for examina-
ton he admitted TO the magistrate
that he hal tried to Kill himself by
opening the veins in his arm ami
leg. II have long been tired OF
life" he said. sand anxious TO end
this existence. Men are 50 had. /
meant to kill myself al the time Of
my arrest and the one thing that |
regret Is that | was prevented. The
main thing which drives ME to
suicide is the imputation to me Of
crimes which l never dreamed Of
committing. Yes" he cried,
with animation, ''men are very bad,
worse than can be imagined"
Eyraud is confined in one Of
the strongest prisons Of Havana.
His cell is very simply furnished
with a cot in the center and seat
in the corner. The prisoner spends
most Of his time lying on the bed,
or sitting OH its edge. His dress
consists Of a shirt and a pair Of
white trousers, which he never
takes of. Two guards are always
by him at each end Of the bed.
They carry no arms for fear that
Eyraud might profit 10y moment
Of iuattention TO take weapon
from them and kill himself. Outside
the cell stands another guani, with
gun and bayOnet. There is moth
ing within Eyraud's reach with
which he could take his own life.
EYRAUD's BEHAVIOR
has not varied since his arrest. He
is very discreet and answers.simply
whatever questions are put to him.
and is evidently anxious 10 avoid
prolonged conversation with his
keeper. He affects t. he resigned
to the fste which await him.
"lf there were no wicked men in
the world" he eiCquenly says,
there would be no need Of police
Nevertheless. 10 one il deceived by
this little piece Of acting. 1t is easy
TO SEE that Eyraud is planning some
involved method of suicide or escape.
He closes his eyes, but not to sleep.
He is constantly rejecting on his
mysterious projects
There is one subject, however, on
which Eyraud seems much more
inclined to talk freely than on any
other. This is his intimacy with
Gabrielle Bompard. Whether from
cyncism or from a spirit Of Boosting
to awaken interest by posing n a
victim Of an overwhelming passion
a'e love, Eyrlud likes to recall the
story Of his intrigue. When some
one asked him il he did not hate
Gabrielle BOmpard because She had
renouncei hiui, he said, II love her
more than ever. She i the most in
tOxiCa,iTg, most fascinating woman
| ever met l was too happy with
her to be able 10 complain of tine
harm she has since done me-" Then
he told, with evident complacency,
and in great detail, the story OF his
relations with "La Bomparl."
