/ BLINDNESS IN ENGLAND.
Steady Decrease In the Rate-Principai
& t,lg Cause Of Loss OF Vision. ,sg4

Steady Decrease In the Rate-Principai
| lg Cause of Loss OF Vision. ssgA
The number of the blind in the
United Kingdom according to the last
census was 81, 296, being at the rate of
$40 blind persons per ], 200, 600 of the
general population as compared with
$50 in 1871, 964 in 1861 and 1, O21 in
1851. The decrease in blindness
would thus appear to be gradual but
steady, even allowing for the TACT that
many who have very defective sight
and are practically blind object to re-
turn themselves as such. The num-
Der of those of school age in England
and Wales is Ito, or one-thirteenth,
a surprisingly small proportion, which
points to the fact, well known to spe-
cialists, that blindness, as a rule, super
yenes in later life, the average age of
the blind being 40. Their general con-
dition has been much improved of
late years, owing to the prevalence of
more enlightened notions and the in
crease of special institutions. But the
commissioners remark that, in spite of
the large charitable funds and philan-
thropic efforts devoted to their well
be done to better the condition of the
blind and render them more indie
pendent of charitable aid than at pres
ent. hfa0 .aui3lu8
Accidents from flying pieces of
stone or chips of metals are account
able for SO per cent of the injuries to
the eye, and in the case of to Al per
cent. of such accidents the sympathetic
inflammation of the remaining eve,
which so often sets in, leads to total
blindness. Shuttle accidents, former
ly very frequent, were dismissed by
the introduction of shuttle guards, and
the number of cases at the Royal Eye
hospital, Manchester, decreased from
twenty one in 1884 to nine in 1885.
Strong protective glasses of tale or
mica or fine wire goggles are valu-
able safeguard against such calami-
les. and early surgical treatment of
high importance. Granular ophthal-
mia in badly ventilated and badly
lighted dwellings is another cause, but
with proper sanitary precautions this
is preventable, and during the recent
occupation of Egypt no loss of sight
from ophthalmia occurred among our
troops, owing to the excellent care ex-
ercised by the medical staff.
g., One of the most fruitful causes of
blindness is the inflammation of the
eyes of newly born infants, and the
Ophthalmological society estimated
that 80 per cent of the inmates of
institutions and 1000 persons in the
United Kingdom had lost their sight
from that cause. Various specifics are
mentioned by the commissioners, but
they all appear to depend chiefly for
their success on prompt application

Among the Masai WARRIOR.

As we continued our way we could
see that our appearance had aroused a
commotion among the inhabitants.
Men were running from kraal to kraal
and others were congregating in
groups. Soon the holder or more
curious of them began to run toward
us, swinging their great shields at
their sides, their enormous spears
glancing brightly in the sun. We
were speedily face to face with the re-
doubtable warriors, listening to their
strange greetings, touching amicably
their greasy hands. Our fears were
for the time allayed by our reception,
and we forgot their reputation in our
admiration of their magnificent ply
sique. .....- .s......
By midday we had camped in the
neighborhood of the Nasal kraals, in
a curve of the ice cold waters of the
Ngare N'Erobi. There we stacked our
goods, and while some remained to
guard, the rest cut down acacia trees
and built strong fence. Thus forti-
fed, we were prepared to await the
development of events. Unhappily,
the promise of our reception was sadly
belied by the realization. The war;
riors gathered in hundreds from all
sides, and enormous demands were
made on our goods as payment for the
right of way through the land. One
warrior drew his sword upon me, be.

There are many interesting facts
which make one believe that the
greater the extent of brain surface in a
man, or, to put it little differently,
the more the. folds and deeper the
creases between them, the greater are
the mans mental powers; and Just
here il becomes apparent that to Judge
of the extent of the entire brain sur
face by the size of the head, or by the
extent of the superficial irregular sur
face which is covered by the skull
without any regard to the number of
folds or their depth, is to fall into an
absurd error, and here we begin to
see how baseless the old chronology
really is. ss3l - ijfssis3 AZ ~ ebsui nr53
.9 For. a little brain with many deep
folds may really when spread out
have larger surface than a large
brain with few shallow folds and a
so called bump or elevation on the APP
parent surface of the organ, even if it
produces a corresponding elevation on
the head, which it frequently fails to
do, will indicate nothing regarding
the number of the folds or the depth
of the creases which lie about it. so
tudI IL may NC SIdteu WlIIlOuC neSlLa
ton that from the size or shape of the
head no conclusion whatever can bs
made as to the extent Of surface OF
the brain, and consequently no con.
clusion Gan be reached regarding tie

INFLUENCE OF TRIPLES.
One Glass of Wine Changed the History of

There is a certain amount of amuse-
ment, and even information. to be gained
in specializing on what might have occur
red but for some more or less trshing
circumstances, says writer in LippincotU's
Magazine. "If the nose of Cleopatra had
been shorter says Pascal boldly, "the
whole face of the earth would have been
different" "a common soldier" says
Edmund Burke "a child, a girl at the
door of an inn, have changed the face of
fortune, and almost of nature. A glass of
wine too much is said to have turned the
course of French history. The son and
heir of Louis Philippe always confined
himself to a certain number of glasses, be-
cause he knew that beyond that number he
was sure to get drunk. On certain morn
ing he forgot TO count the glasses and
drank one more than usual. Entering
his carriage he stumbled; the frightened
horses ran away; the young prince leaped
out of the carriage, struck his head against
the pavement, and was killed. The ex-
ira glass of wine overthrow the Orleans

Double Engagement Rings.

Among all the prett, customs connected
with the plighting of q lovers troth 10y
the aid of a ring, none is more beautiful
than the ancient Scotch habit of commem-
Grating the betrothal by means of sepa-
ate ring, one part of which is worn by
each of the contracting parties. The play
of 'Ravenswood, which recently leaped
into popularity at the Lyceum tleater in
London, England, where it is being ably
presented by Henry Irving as Ravenswood
and Ellen Terry as Lucy Ashton, with first
class support, contains scene in which
the most is made of this custom. In this
scene Ravenswood presents Lucy one part
of the ring, and as he places the other on
his own finger, says
dUensU0od-"And whatsoever hap between us
two,
Plight me your faith as will pledge you mine,
In good old Scottish manne:. See this rings
1t my mothers, love- Wear you this half
AS will wear the other"
Lucy-"At my heart
For two reasons this matter is now in
teresting to our American readers. 1t will
be little surprising if society does not
seize upon the hint and revive the ancient
custom of wearing the Invisible ring as an
evidence of betrothal; and the jeweler of
course, must keep abreast of public taste
and provide the means of this revival. The
other consideration is TIE fact that the
play will in all probability be placed on the
boards on this side of the Atlantic next
season, and when introduced here will at
tract large numbers of play going jewellers.
