1t is perfectly possible, by means Of
the instruments of the Nineteenth CEN
tury, to exactly learn the optical condi-
ton of an eye, TO decide just what
glasses, if any, are needed for its perfect
working, and it is also possible to look
in upon it, and by the appearance Of its
tissues and its blood vessels to decide as
10 the existence of serious disease when
there are few other symptoms that point
10 it, when there may be none besides to
be found in the body that positively
prove it.
may mention two classes of disease,
one constitutional and the other local,
which illustrate this statement. The
eye mirror opthalmoscope is the instru-
ment by which such things are settled.
Bright's disease, q name carrying dread
to many a household, is the constitu-
tional disease to which / refer. In not
few cases the diagnosis of it is made
by the examination of the retina with
the eye mirror.
The expert will make no mistake if
the eye gives evidence Of it, for its signs
are positive in minute bleeding from the
blood vessels and peculiar fawn colored
spots on the retina. The surgeon breads
to find them, because they are evidence
of an advanced stage Of the malady
which prematurely destroys so many
lives. Bright's disease is in fact de-
generation of many of the tissues of the
body, the walls of the arteries being
among them. In no part of the body
can this degeneration be so readily de
tected as in the retina Of the eye.-Cos-
mopolitan.

The study Of PhllnteIr.

Philately is a study. 1t is pursuit
that adds more to the life of the young
collector than any other Of his pleas
ures. Philately in the present genera
ton is assuming vast proportions as an
instructive science and is even now a
formidable rival Of numismatics. No
longer is it called a mania or a craze,
but a science teaching the geography,
history, language and the morals Of a
country. Our philatelists are not mere
schoolboys and girls, although they col
lect stamps, but men of mature minds;
men well established in business and
professions, men of sound judgment,
intellectual and thoughtful men. And
it is this fact that gives the young col
lector encouragement, the knowledge
that such men do exist in the ranks Of
philatelists.- Ohio State Journal.

Under chloroform, as under all anes-
thetic gases and vapors, there is mode
of death which may be called the final
or natural. 1t need never be produced,
and never could be except under the
most unskillful management, and it is a
long time in its progress. When death
does occur in this manner it is by the
slow extinction Of the natural animal
zymosis, and is illustrated, as to method,
perfectly by the simple experiment of
gradually extinguishing candle in a
confined space by introducing vapor Of
chloroform into the air that fills the
space.
1t can be illustrated also by the ex-
pertinent of stopping ordinary fermenta-
ton by the presence of chloroform, and
even by the simpler process of using
chloroform vapor as a preservative OF
animal tissues from decomposition. All
an@sthetics are open to kill in this man.

which puts out life in no other manner,
which does not, that is to say, cause

Native wit n j Street oamin.

Wit in the New York ''young fellow"
if sometimes brutal, is usually ready
and often imaginative. An unmistak-
able oriental, in turban, baggy trousers,
gay stockings and tinseled coat, sat on
a bench in Madison square the other
day, an object of interest to all the boys,
and apparently not displeased at the
attention he attracted. There came
along presently, however, two rough
looking young men, and one of them,
pausing in front of the stranger, looked
at him in undisguised astonishment
His first surprise over, he called back
his fellow, who had passed on, and said,
pointing TO the oriental, Jimmy, git on
to this" The eastern strangers splendor
seemed to call up some strange picture
in the rearward of Jimmy imagination,
for his instant answer was, "Oh, Gin

He was TO arise in good season. and set
the alarm clock to ring 'for all it was

vengeance, ana fearful that it would
awaken the whole household he reached
up, smothered the bell with his hand

hold it until it would stop ringing.
When he awoke again the bell had
stopped ringing and he was still hugging

WOMEN Al ENGLISH aAoss.
They Are Nearly Always wealthy and
attend Because They Love sport.


They Are Nearly Always wealthy and
ATTEND Because They Love sport.
The women one sees at the races here
are the women Of the fashionable world,
beautifully attired, escorted by gallants.
They move about on the lawn, or pre-
side ut their luncheon tables under the
trees or oyer their hampers in their car
riages; they chat and promenade. take
light interest in the races, walk about
the paddock and look at the horses, do
the honors in q box or rest in their seats
at the grand stand; but one doesn't see
them hauling out money TO put on
horse or chasing around to find out
whats good in this race" One doesn't
see them consulting the tips in the morn
ing papers, or Jacks tips, OF anybody's
tips, OF in any way showing that they
are afflicted with u severe attack Of
gambling fever
The English women are the most
charming feature Of the English races.
They, with their lovely toilets and holi-
day airs, give it the garden party flavor
that helps to keep it sport instead Of a
business.
But it's not in nature for them to al
ways look on and never participate.
English women have O finger in the
racing pie also. You'd hardly suspect it
to watch them at the races, but they do
They are usually women who go racing
for the love Of the sport and who know
more OF less about the horses. When
they want to bet they ask commits
sioner, some gentleman who is betting
for himself, or else some one they can
| tip for the trouble, to put certain
amount on a horse for them. No money
passes on the course. The settling is
all done away from there, and usually by
letter and checks.
Women who bet heavily and contin-
ually-and there are such-tFansact their
business directly with bookmaker,
| just like man. But this again isn't
evident on the course. When such a
woman fancies a horse she sends a tel.
egram from her home the morning Of
the day he runs, making her bet, OF she
wires her bet-or "ordern from the
course before the race. Usually, too
she's the sort Of woman who can retail
the latest fashionable gossip in piquani
style, while her equine "fancy' is add
ing to or subtracting from her bank ac
| count.
There are a great many English wom
en- who bet in this way, and who now
and then stand to win tidy sums in tn,
early books on big races. Then there's
a lot Of playful impromptu betting a
places like EPSON aud Ascot I've seer
