Morbid Winkiug1 by Miners.

Dr.. Shell persists in his opinion that
there IS no reason tor supposiug that ny
stagmus or the nervous disease which
manifests itself in a morbid winking of
the eye, SO common among miners, IS at
tribntable to working by the imperfect
light of the safety lamp. The fact that
he complaint is found among the workers
with naked lights is in itself sufficient to
throw doubt upon the long~-prevalent
theory. The Government Inspector of
Mines for the Midland District notes, Gu

who, after working with the Davy lamp

We're used. He had been employed three
three and one-half years, and during the
last twelve months he experienced symp>
toms Of nystagmuS, and had ultimately

Smell has collected a mass of facts and a
record of a large number Of instances of
men suffering from the affection, which
will, he believes, be very corroborative
Of the views he has before set forth,
namely, that the prime cause of the affec-

esuug. ror Iu5Jane5, 10 Is curious
fact that man Is much more liable
to lose his left hand than his right
hand. or his Ieft~eye than his right
49, * too that when
j man insi7fes himself against acci-
dents he thereby greatly diminishes
the risk OF accident, and this is prob
ably explained in this way: When a
mans attention is called to danger he
fixes his mind on it, and thereby con-
sciously or unconsciousIy makes I'M
usual effort to avert it.
It therefore often happens that a
man is more likely to be a victim Of an
accident Of a kind that he never
thought of than Of the kind against
which he insures himself. Aman, for
instance, who handles sharp tools will
insure himself against an accident
from the use OF them, and the first
thing he knows he will be drawing
pay from an insurance company for an
injury done by getting cinder in his
eye. Not only are such odd and Curl
Gus facts as these brought to Light by
the Developments of accident insurance
but a great many important groups OF
facts whAch bear upon the habits OF
men and the development OF civiliza-
ton. For instance, accidents are
much more common in sparsely set
tied portions of the country than In
densely settled portions, and they
happen more frequently in the middle
Of winter and in the middle of summer
than in the other seasons OF the year.

The far-famed Rob Roy MacGregor
was confessedly the best swordsman
Of his day. His celebri ty for welding
the claymore excited MacNeil Of
Barra to visit him for the express
purpose OF trying his prowess: Barra
was gentleman. possessing the quail
tiles that endear chief to his clan,
with the accomplishments which con-
fer acceptabiIity in polished circles.
On arriving at Rob Roy's house the
MacNeil chieftan found he was at
Buchanan attending market, and
thither he repaired. He met several
gentleman on horseback on their way
home, and, accosting the nearest,
begged to know il Rob Roy was still
at the fair.
"Who inquiries for Rob Roy?" in
duired voice, more remote.
MacNeil of Barra," said the chief.
Rob Roy approached, announcing
HIMSELF and, after exchanging sa-
lutes, Barra said:
II have heard Rob Roy extolled as
the best swordsman Of our times, and
have come long journey to prove
whether he or I deserve that common
dation.'"
"Chieftain of Barra, said Rob Roy,
at never sought a quarrel with any
man; and If it pleases you to think
yourself the better swordsman, have
no objection to your opinion. !"
This is the language Of fear, said
Barra. =

mu CHI dexterous play he wounded the
chieftain in the sword arm, so that
he was several months confined at

marks are peculiar to each Individual,
their utility would be consider

Henry Wightman, an English mer-
chant in Siam, who has been at the
Richelieu for few days, told some
thing interesting about the expert
cashiers in the little Oriental kingdom,
says the Chicago Herald.
'sThe cashiers in the big counting
houses in Siam are Of what national
ity?' he asked.
"Englishmen.
s'Guess again"
Americans"
sThat is worse than the first guess.
The cashiers are monkeys. The great
apes of Siam are very valuable for
mercantile purposes. In no country
in the world is there more counterfeit
coin than in Siam. The land is fairly
covered with base money, and it is
manufactured so well that no human
being can tell the chaff from the wheat
with so much accuracy as can these
apes. It's queer, but fact.
s'The monkey cashier will separate
q hundred coins in the time that ii
would take bank clerk to separate
one good one from one bad one. Each
ape is kept in nice cage, and the
coins are handed to him. He puts
each piece of money to his mouth with
grave slowness. If the coin is all
right it is placed in pan in the cage.
Fit contains an alloy the ape throws
it on the bottom of the cage and chat
tiers loudly. It takes him only sec
ond to distinguish the coins, and 9
mistake has never been known among
these clever animals. .

man who skinned the brute after
Frank had taken the head found four
rife bullets imbedded in the flesh.
