Overcome by the Honor.

An amusing story is told of Arch
duke Eugene of Austria, while on a
visit recently to small hamlet in
Hungary. Feeling the necessity for a
shave, as ordinary mortals at times are
wont to do, the Prince had the mana
ger of the little hotel at which he was
staying send for the best barber in
the town. Overjoyed at the privilege
of shaving member of the imperial
family, the knight of the strop arrayed
himself in all his Sunday finery and
went to the hotel. Although some
what timid, he succeeded in placing
his imperial highness in the chair and
covering his face an inch deep with
lather. But at this point his Dalgetty
spirit forsook him, and, razor in hand,
he began to tremble as the traditional
aspen leaf. "Your imperial highness,
he mustered courage to say, "the
honor of shaving you has so excited
me that 1 am unable to proceed with
my work." Ashamed of his failure
the poor fellow rushed from the room
The Archduke laughed heartily, but
was obliged to remain in his uncom.
Portable position until more courage.
GUS colleague arrived to complete the
unfinished shave.

a Binding Habit.

A Pittsburg Dispatch reporter had
/ a chat with j. Diamond, tho Sixth
street optician, not long ago, which
put new phase on the effects of the
! gum-chewing craze that has spread
from one end of the land to the other
and it is doubtful If as many of the
bellies aud followers of the habit will
continue their chewing after they
learn of one of its most injurious eff
fects. Mr.. Diamond said: "Does gum
chewing hurt the eyes? Most eer-
tainly it does, and that is one reason
why 1 am so antagonistic to it and de-
nounce it. Not only myself, but every
scientific optician will tell you the
same thing. And 1t is this, with its
attendant injurious effects, that makes
the. habit so'repulsive. Only yesterday
l had for treatment the case of lady
who came after eyeglasses, and 1
thought 1t was strange her eyes were
in such bad shape, unless there was
some other cause than mere failure on
account of age, and it couldn't be on
that account, because she was just in
the vigor of life, and very handsome.
So knew there must be some other
cause. 1 questioned her about her
habits of living, and discovered that
she had chewed gum from the time
she was old enough to-. know what it
was. Here was the cause without
any further looking. Why, she had to
take the highest power of glasses /
had, and her sight was as bad as
though she were eighty. The eye and
the optic nerve are the most delicate
organs we possess, and they can't be
abused with impunity. The constant
chewing of gum affects the nerves
that lead from the spine to the optic
nerves, and strains the latter until
they are weak and give out. 1t is the
same, to degree, with tobacco-users
but gum-chewing is worse, as its vic
Tins chew more constantly, and SO
keep up more irritation. / frequently
have cases thateaFe caused by this
same habit. Many young ladies who
continue the haiti feel its effects, and
have good many cases lately of
very young girls with poor sight, and
that, as find by the use of
my instruments, and from inquiry
into the habits of the sufferers, arise
from no other habit than that of gum
chewing. If you will notice, gum
,hewers do not have the brilliancy in
their eyes, the vivacious and full-of-
life look; their, ,physiognomy looks
pale and unhealthy. If this habit is
Kept up as craze, of course the effect
upon the eyes will be more evident
still, as there will be more cases.
Yes, if the newspapers show it up,
ind disclose its injurious effects, they
may break up the habit"

FARM AND GARDEN.


Success hinges upon the man and
. his surroundings. Find your marke
before your crop is ready and SEND
the produce in the neatest and mos
attractive condition.--[ Professor Bal
ley.
In discussing the causes of depres.
sion of agricultural interest, it is well
to remember that lack of business
methods on the part of the farmer has
contributed an important share
American Garden.
BY and by we may reach a point in
skilliul feeding when the whole nutri-
ment in the food is made available for
growth. 1t seems great waste of
material and labor that only 30 or 40
per cent of the digestiblc food should
be utilized, and yet many animals are
thus fed.
The clown corn, down horn" of
old England, does not work in this
country now that grain of all kinds is
extremely high; stock of all kinds is
extremely low all over our land, but
in England the variation of the price
of grain and feed stuff still has con-
trolling influence on the price of meat
stock, grain is lower there than meat.
Dear corn is usually followed in
this country by dear butter. Hence it
generally pays to feed cows giving
milk as literally of grain as they will
bear, thus increasing not only its
amount, but richness. If the COW is
bearing calf while thus fed, this will
transmit the milk and butter tendency
TO the young. II is in this way, doubt
less, that the foundations OF the best
dairy herds were originally estab-
lished. The reverse of the good feed
ing will quickly produce race of
scrubs out of the best stock that can
be procured.

Marriage of Mr.. Parne,i.

Charles Stewart Parnell was mar

The registrar was strictly eujoin ed not 10

and he promised to preserve the closest
secrecy in regard to tho matter.

ncllitos profess confidence that the mar.
riagc will restore their leader to his old
position. This, however, is not generally
believed. As for social position, Parnell
never had any, because no never mixed In
society, and his marriage will, his oppo-
uonts say, make no difference In tho
attitude Of tho Irish clergy toward him.

FRulTLEss PROSECUTIONS,

NsfbAer Michael Carr Nor John e.
syIvanus Knew where Their Homes /
ere.
The Municipal Court was occupied for |
nearly two hours this morning Ia hear
ing the cases of Michael Carr and John
E. Sylvanus, charged with having
registered illegally ia the First district
OF the Second ward. Both cases were
dismissed on the ground that there was
no evidence OF fraudulent intent.
The specific charge against Carr was
that in registering he gave his residence
as No 107 French street, but had not
lived there.
Charles DeVallenger testified that he
was proprietor of q restaurant at Nos.
107 and 100 French street. Carr boarded
at the restaurant for nearly two years.
Several months ago one Of Carrs -sisters
became i'll and subsequently died In
Chester During sher illness and after
ward Carr was obliged TO spend much Of
his time in Chester, and as he did not
care for paying for his room all the time,
he gave it up.
When the necessity for his visiting
Chester ceased he applied for his room
again and was told that he could
get It as soon Gs 1t became
vacant. Meanwhile he took up
/ his residence at restaurants on
/ Market street, In the same district Of the
same ward A few weeks ago the room
became vacant and Carr made prepara-
tions to move in. He had not yet done
So.
Judge Ball said there was obviously
NO intention on Carr's part to register
| Illegally he could as easily have regis
tered from the Philadelphia Restaurant
as from the other had he known he was
doing wrong The case was dismissed.
where Mans Residence Is.
The specific charge against John E
Sylvanus was that he gave his residencs
as the PennsylvaniA House. while moi
residing there.
Fergus Hanrahan, proprietor of thl
Pennsyl gania House. testified that about
March / SylvRnus came TO board at thl
hotel he wanted room, but there was
mona vacant. Occasionally he slept there
Generally. however, he slept at thu
bouse of Mr. Phillips on French street
which was the Second district, bu
, sometimes he slept at his barber shop OF
| French street, which is also in the same
district. His washing was done a
another place. About ten days ago h'
, took up his residence permanently at the
hotel.
Judge Ball said the thing to be con
sidered in this case as In others wa
J whether there was or not a fraudulen
} intent. AS to what constituted
mans residence his domiciliary o
I the place of sleeping evidently
! was, bat there seemed to b
! much misconceptiOn on this point, as on
man at least had registered from wher
he got his washing done. He did no
think the Pennsylvania House had beel

! was obviously no intention on bis part t
3 do wrong He thought il well to stat
