WHEN the present ameer of Afghan
istan was yet an exile he made pre-
tense of stupidity which deceived great
many people. But after being invested
with his present authority he displayed
surprising keenness. On one occasion
the Russian eommandant in Turkestan
sent him word that it was proposed to
take 500 artillerymen and cavalry out
for exercise on the Afghan frontier, and
expressed hope that it would not give
rise to apprehensions on the part of his
highness. Abdurrahman replied that he
had no objections, because, as 1t hap
pened, he was about to exercise 5000
cavalry, artillery, and infantry on his
side of the frontier at the same place, and
there was plenty OF room for both. The
hint was enough. The Russians wrote
thanking the ameer, but intimating that
they had found another site for their
maneuvers.

THE decent people of the Arkansas
town where a mob of savages, calling
themselves citizens, burned a negro
olive, will probably hold a mass meet
ing to protest against the murder, be-
cause they think the notoriety Of it will
injure their reputation. OF course 1t
will, and no amount of mass-meeting
resolutions will remove It. Such bar
barrie cruelty is an advertisement to the
country that such o place is the best
section for decent folk to shun. When
this fact Is fully realized there will be
fewer lynchings and outrages Of this

The New Theory OF Nervous Diseases.

DR.. Chalmer Prentice, of Detroit, VINO
is staying at the Vendome, has made
speciality of a particular kind Of eye
trouble, which he says has a great effect
upon the health Of any one who is
sufferer from it. To a representative Of
the Journal, he said: "There are a
great many people whose eyes are
slightly out Of place, so thlt the axes of
then are not absolutely parallel. In the
majority of cases they are not sufficiently
out of position to cause squint, but
there is c similar displacement, though
only to minute degree. In these cases
the muscles which move the eycball are
able to adjust the slight difference, so
that the axes of the eyes are made par
allel and perfect vision takes place. In
order to maintain this harmonious work
ing working, the eyeball muscles are
placed under continual strain, which
is communicated to the brain, aud,
being continued day after day, the a5-
normal tension induces irritation of the
brain, which results in harmful effects
all over the system" To support the
theory, he states that in almost every
instance the nervous complaint is re-
lieved aud removed after the eyeballs
have been properly adjusted.
Doctor Prentice is the inventor of a
method of detecting latent eye strain,
most pernicious form, which has eluded
the old methods or tests. He claims that
by correcting these many remarkable
cures are made of diseases heretofore
considered incurable, such as diabetes,
Bright's disease, spinal irritation, heart,
lung, stomach braiu aud analogous dis
eases.-Boston Journal.

What Makes Different Vninss-

The difference in the tone of the voice
of me1 and women arises chiefly from the
variation in the length OF the vocal cord;
the longer the cord the more slowly it
vibrates. The length OF the vocal cords
in men and women differ as follows: In
the case OF man their length, when at
rest, is about 73.10Oths OF an inch, aud
when they are stretched to the greatest
extent about 93-100ths OF an inch. In
the case Of woman their length varies
from 51-100ths to 63.100ths Of an inch.
1t will, therefore, be seen how it is that
q deeper note or one in which there are
smaller number of vibrations per
second, proceeds from the vocal cords of
a man than those Of a woman. One of
the deepest notes sounded by bass voice
is produced by no more than eighty
double vibrations in a second, while a
soprano voice can give forth note in
which there are 992 such vibrations.
The different quality of the notes de-
pends also, to some extent, on the char
acter of the walls OF the larynx. In
women and children these are more 6ex-
ibe and smoother than in men. The
male voice owes its greater roughness to
the greater hardness and firmness of the
cartilages of the larynx approaching in
old age nearly to ossiication. The
larynx of a boy resembles that of a wo-
man; but, as he approaches manhood, it
assumes more masculine character, and
the voice begins to change, or, in com.
mon parlance, to "break," aud, until
the change is completed, the voice is
imperfect, and unfit for singing. A
soprano singer has very small throat,
contralto 4 size larger, tenor larger still,
baritone larger again, and bass voice
the larg st of all. Tie compass of male
aud female voices taken together is about
four octaves. Yankee Blade.

Good Roads Increase Land Values.

In England the highest ambition Of a
majority Of well.t)-do men is to have
"place' in the country. They don't
banker after city living the year around;
indeed, they don't haaker after it at all
except as it may be forced upon them IN
order that they may live near their busi-
ness. But the minute their business
reaches such a point as to AFFORD them
some leisure, or the minute they acquire
sufficient means to retire, they seek a
home in the country.
England has gooi roa1', aud these
country residents arc never beyond the
reach Of good markets aud of the sup
plies which good markets offer. A
country house ten miles from a market
town, but connected with it by a gOoi
roaJ-a road good at all seasons and in
all wcathers isn't really SO difficult Of
access as some country houses within
mile of Nor xich city limits.
Has it ever occurred to landowners in
the towns around Nor Sich that good
roads to their lands would not only
bring those lands nelrer the markets
they raise produce for. but woult also
bring those lands nearer the city where
business men do business, maze them
more available for residence, an in-
crease their value2
No man wants to travel two miles
every day to and from the city over such
"roads' as exist in this immediate vi
cinity. But many men would be gla1
to drive five or even more miles every
day, il the roads o1ere1 then we're such
that the drive was a daily pleasure a1i
did not put them at an unreasonable dis
tance from their Offices in point OF time.

Tbs Burra Is Not a Beauty.

Butterflies That Love Ice.

Near the top of Mt. Washington, III
New Hampshire, lives little colony oil
very cold loving and mountainous but
terfies. which never descend below 2OOO
feet from the windswept summit.
Except just there, there are no more oil
their sort anywhere about, and as far as
the butterflies themselves are aware, no
Others Of their species exist on earth.
They never have seen single one OF
their kind, save of their own colony.
The scientific theory is that this little
colony of chilly insects was stranded on
Mt. Washington at the end Of the glacial
period some odd thousands Of years ago,
and the butterflies have dwelt there ever
since, generation following generation.

Oysters on Trses.

Travellers and tourists who have been
for summers outing among the islands
which skirt the coast OF Honduras tell
marvellous stories OF the oyster groves Of
that country, and the rare delicacy of the
bivalves (Which grow on the trees"
The facts in this "tree-oyster" case are
these: The maugrove trees grow in either
in fresh or salt water swamps, aud even
in water five or six feet deep. The limbs
of the maugrove are dropping, like those
of the weeping willow. In case they do
not reach the water, the attraction Of the
moisture below causes shoots to put oat
which often extend far beneath the sur
face; thus a thicket of maugroves is q
mitted mass Of limbs, trunks, shoots anl
roots.
On these limbs aud shoots, deep down
under the surface OF the water, largo
buncies of oysters cling, thus forming
the far-famei "oyster groves Of Hon.
durcs."

A nSalIedu Colaraia Mine.

Funny was the sailing of mine in
Colorado, which was bought by ex-Sena-
tor Tabor by order from some friends of
his in Denver. Chicken Bill, a pros
pector of rather disreputable notorietY,
did the job, performing it so successfully
that $40, 900 was paid over to him for
the property without any question. He
was so eated over the transaction as to
be unable to keep the secret, commuuica-
ting it to a number of intimate friends.
In this manner the news reached Denver,
and the people who had employed Tabor
as their agent in the matter refused to re-
ceive the mine. SO Tabor, finding it
left upon his hauds, determined to make
the best OF the situation and proceeded
to dig further in the hole. He pierced
the rock ten feet further aud came upon
body Of ore which proved to be one Of
the richest ever found in the State,x
