Seeing With One Eye.

A person may see as far with one per-
feet eye as with two, but ne cannot see
as clearly for the advantage that BIZ
noeular. or double, vision possesses over
moneular. or one-eyed, vision is that the
former, by allowing the observer to catch
sight Of the object from two different
points Of view, gives him at once some
idea of the pr portions of its different
parts.
But though this is true in theory, in
practice the judgment interferes, and the
judgement has been educated and in
some measure rendered independent of
the services of binocular vision by ex-
perience and the use ofother senses, such
as touch, says the Washington Post.
Thus man with only one eye isnever
deceived az TO the nature of an object
with which he is well acquainted, for the
report of it that be gets from his vision is
corrected and supplemented by his ex-
perienced judgment aud transmitted TO
his centers Of consciousness in as perfect
form as that which reaches those of a
man with two eyes.
The advantage OF binocular vision may
be thus further illustrated. In rapidly
dipping pen into an inkstand or put
ting stopper into decanter the one
eyed man cannot judge so accurately as
the two-eyed man. Or, again, if we shut
one eye and attempt to plunge the finger
rapidly into the open mouth of a bottle
we are apt to overreaeh or fall short oft.

An Incident of the Wilderness.

@This is the twenty-eighth anniversary
of the third days fight at the Wilder
ness" said the veteran the other morn
ing.
"And were you.in it?"
"Yes," answered the veteran; @my
company lost its first man to-day-twen-
ty-eight years ago."
"How was he killed p
Gle was shot by one Of our own COM
pany," came the unexpectly reply.
'The fact is We were frightened by the
movements of the enemy. He was play
ing Dixie and the Bonnie Blue Flag
so near to Us that we could distinctly
hear him. when suddenly there was an
alarm, and every man in my regiment
shot of his gun. That created terrible
racket, and I-who had never been un-
der fire-supposed that we were attacked
by the whole confederate army.
an the midst Of my confusion heard
the voice Of the Colonel of my regiment
shouting. Cease firing, menF' Then,
finally, when the firing, had ceased, l
discovered that one poor fellow was dead.
he had been shot through the back by a
iear-rark man, and the duty devolyed
on me Of writing to his family and give
ing the particlars of his death.
"And did you do it truthfully? ?"
NO." promptly responded the veter-
an, Il told them that he had been shot
10 the battle Of the Wilderness, but
gave no particulars. 1t was better so. -

The peach is always beautiful in
flower, but occasionally some individual
tree is almost startling in its attractive
ness. The rule seems TO be that the
finer sorts Of peaches have less conspicu-
Gus bloom. The handsomest trees in
flower are the wild ones along the way
side in Kentucky, Missouri and Arksn-
Eas. Some Of these ought TO be selected
and treated purely as Towering trees.

blossoms which sport into colors, but

Fashion Notes.

Para.ols are absolute masses of lace,
Tuffies and ribbons.
Engagement cups and saucers continue
TO be one of the caprices Of fashion.
Long basqued bodies are worn in spite
of the rival blouse and short belted
waist.
A novelty in bonbonniere is a queer
knotted piece of faience, over which lit
tie harlequins play.
The leading color is Russian blue,
which is an electric shade between rob-
in's egg and cadet blue.
There are fans of all sizes and descrip-
tions, and whether of gauze, silk or rib
bon, they are literally covered with span
giles or jewels.
Young ladies are wearing mannish-
looking suspenders, either of ribbon, vel
vet or the dress material. They are
more conspicuous than beco ming.

Bsth,nr a. the Southern Beaches.


Something has been said heretofore in
regard 10 the inconvenience caused by
sea blubbers to the surf bathers on the
island. This nuisance, instead of abat-
ing, is on the increase, and if any one
wishes TO bathe in the sea water now
with impunity 1t becomes necessary 10
completely swathe himself X clothing
from head TO foot for fear Of being stung.
The effects Of these stings vary ac-
cOrding TO the constitution Of the suffer
er. Usually, in persons Of good health
and active circulation, an angry red
blotch appears In the skin proportiOnate
in size to the animal by which it is in
ficted, rarely exceeding eight or ten
inches in diameter. An intolerable
smarting sensation is produced which re-
mains ordinarily about half an hour,
and it is easy to imagine the condition Of
a nervous or sensitive person when stung
in three or four places at once. The
feeling must be nearly akin to that of
being on fire.
In some cases the effects are more seri-
Gus. a young man recently showed the
writer his arm, which was severely
stung. a broad band Of what looked like
highly infsmed mosquito bites formed
an almost perfect spiral around the fore
arm. BE complained that the pain was
at first intense, and that although under
a physicians treatment it was rapidly
becoming less, stin it was far from
pleasant.
An old sea islander who took a surf
bath the other night said that he had
seen sea blUbbers before and in consid-
cradle quantities, but never like this
AT certain seasons Of the year" said he,
'it is nothing unusual 10 get stung
Here the exception seems to be to get
stung less than FIVE times in half an
hour"

Poisoned by ScrofuIa.

Isthe sad story Of many lives made
miserable through no fault Of their own.
Scrofula is more especially than any 9TH
er a hereditary disease, and for this sim
pie reason: Arising from impure and in
sufficient blood, the disease locates itself
in the lymphaties, which are composed
of white tissues. There is a period Of
foetal life when the whole body is COM
posed of white tissues, and therefore the
unborn child is especially susceptible to
this dreadful disease. But there is
remedy for scrofula, whether hereditary
or acquired. 1t is Hoods Sarsaparilla.
which by its powerful effect on the
blood, expels al trace Of the disease and
gives to the vital fluid the quality and
color of health. Ifyou decide to take
Hoods Sarsaparilla do not accept any
substitute.
