Saving Eyes by Electric Light.

The public is beginning to realize
that the use of the electric light does
more for the preservation of the eye
sight than any other artificial luminant.
One of the most reassuring evidences of
this is the adoption of electric light in a
large number of hospitals devoted to
the treatment of eye diseases. The
Royal South London Ophthalmic hos
pital, which is undergoing extensive
structural enlargement and improve
ments, is being fitted up throughout
with electric light.
1t is also stated that quite an impetus
has been given to the introduction of
electric lighting into Londonderry, Kill
kenny, Galway and other towns in
Ireland by the declaration of one of the
surgical staff of the Royal Ophthalmic
hospital in Dublin that the electric
light is the best light for eyes that are
weak or affected with disease, and occa-
sions them less discomfort and injury
than that produced from gas, oil or can
dles.-New York Telegram.

Such were the contents of letter re-
ceived by Partisan ieweler from Riga,
in Prussia. He went to see the dealer.
He had the powder and gold pieces
weighed with care, chemically exam

well packed under his own eyes. The
man had promised to take the goods
over the frontiers to escape paying duty.
He travelled with the Partisan by way of
Belgium. Having passed the French
