CIVILIZATION AND SIGHT.
Wild Animals After Period of Captivity

Wild Animals After Period of Captivity
Grow Detective In Vision.
The subject of short-sightedness in
animals was under consideration at
meeting of the Paris Academy of Medi-
cine, when NJ. Motais, of Augers, main
tanned that this defect in vision is one
of the products of civilization. An I'M
expected proof of this view was found
in the condition Of wild beasts such as
tigers, lions, etc. NJ. Motais having
examined their eyes by means of the
ophthalmoscope, discovered that those
captured after the age of six or eight
months retained the long sight natural
to them, but that those made captive
before that age and those born in a
state of captivity were short-sighted.
Some time since case was published
of horse in this country that wears
spectacles The farmer who owned
him, having come to the conclusion
from various symptoms that the horse
was short-sighted, got an oculist to take
the necessary measurements and had n
pair of spectacles manufactured for
| him. They were made to fasten firmly
into the headstall, so that they did not
shake out of place. At first the horse
appeared startled by this addition to
his harness, but he soon got used to his
| glasses and liked them. I'm fact" said
the owner. when turned him out to
pasture he felt uneasy and uncomfort-
able without his goggles and one Sun
day he hung round the barn and whin-

his nose" 1t is thought that the vice

ONCE UPON A TIME.

On yes, he's decent young fellow;
I've nothing against him, my dear,
And it's like that he thinks he is counting,
And it's wholesome, a bit of a fear.
But when think back TO my girlhood,
And your grandfather-he was the BOY
n these days were those days, my darling,
by this I'd be wishing YOU JOY
Tie courted at fair and at frolc;
He toasted me more than he ought
And don't like 10 think, TO this day, dear,
How he looked the day after he fought
twas all q mistake that he fought for;
The other boy wasn't TO blame;
Twas only a fancy OF Talbots
That Mike laughed in speaking my name.
And the ways Talbot asked me to have him.
He'd not even pass me the tea,
But he'd look in my eyes and then whisper:
III was that teacup machree!"
II I'D give him my hand just in friendship,
He'd sigh to his boots or as deep
And say. In his beautiful accents;
"Ah, when can / have Il 10 keep
il seemed that couldn't well helpit;
Just plagued him out Of his life,
Though still to myself kept saying
Twas that some day'd be his wife.
And then came the day OF the jaunt, dear;
Twas to an old ruin we went,
And he wandered me OF with himself, like,
And |, for the once, was content

That grew in the crack OF the wall,
Aad he climbed like goat Til he picked IL,
And some way he managed to fall.
don't know to this day how did Il:
He'd have slipped 10 hts death, at the last,
But caught his two feet ~ my hands, dear
And held for his life safe and fast
And that boy, as he was, upside down there,
And cropping about for his life,
Calls up; You've my fate in your hand
dear,
Let go II you'll not be my wife"
Could murder himy No, that couldn't!
igave him no answer at ALL
only held fast till he'd managed
To catch his two hands on the wall
stood there, all laughing and crying,
And, well, you might fancy the rest
II you could-but these days are so different,
And each thinks her own day the best
TERED not be another like Talbot,
No matter the day or the year.
And your boys nice quiet well-mannered-
hope you'll be happy my dear!

Uses of OLD .IerreIrv.

All sorts of curious things are sold for the
precious metal they contain-old watches
that are broken beyond repair, old seal rings
and rings that were once set with cleaning
gems. A broken locket once contained a
miniature and probably holds the secret of
a romance. A brooch is made of the light
colored gold of over a hundred years ago,
and still holds lock of somebody's dark
hair. 1t was bought, hair and all, and will
go into the melting pot with its story I'M
told
Some of the gold comes already melted
into Jumps, some of it is the gold filling of
teeth and dentists scraps, and some of it is
in the form of old plates, with artificial
teeth still sticking to them.
Hood q Reynolds, the assayers on Ire
mont street, say that old gold is very scarce,
and they have hard work to collect the
amount needed in their business. The old
jewelry and scraps are melted down and
refined, then rolled out into gold foil The
gold foil is bought by dentists and put into
the teeth of their customers, and in most
cases goes back into the ground with the
owner of the teeth when he dies. Some day,
when Boston is a bowling wilderness, an
enterprising miner will wash out the earth
of the cemeteries and reap rich harvest.
But that is matter of speculation. 1t is
a matter of fact that one firm of refners
here in Boston uses up =, 500 worth of old
gold every week, and lately has been COM
PEELED TO buy coin to exc out the supply
needed for mechanical purposes.-Boston

Convention OF All Talents.

We cannot tell when there was any con-
vention attended by as many men of dis
tinction in the various lines of learning as
there were women of distinction in these
lines ut the Chicago convention of women.
Among its members were scientific women,
actresses, poets, orators, doctors, preachers,
politicians. authors, professors, artists, re-
formers and philosophers. When was there
ever such an Assem- blage of men in this
country or in any otherg There was not a
crank among them. When was there ever
mans convention without its cranks?
They discussed everything that is of in
terest to women, or rather, let us say, TO
the human race. The list Of themes given
in the programme was suggestive. Their
reasoning was thoughtful, judicious, calm
and helpful.
Here is that representative of full flow
cred wOmanhOOd, Elizabeth Cady Stanton:
here is genuine poet, Julia Ward Howe;
here is that accomplished medical prac-
titiOner, Mary Putnam Jacoby; here are
those eloquent preachers, Antoinette Brown
Blackwell and Anna Shaw; here is that
stanch and stern reformer, Susan B. An
thony; here are such actresses as NIodjeska.
Janauschek, Clara Morris, Georgia Cayvan
and Julia Marlowe; here are the novelist,
Emma ID. f. y. Southworth, and the schol-
arly author, Mary A. LivermOre, and here
are hundred other women of hardly less
distinction and fame. We noticed also
scores of delegates not less distinguished
from Europe, South America, Australia
and Canada.
We cannot recall any like assemblage of
the other sex, of men renowned in as many
fields In English history we read of the
Cabinet of All the Talents" this was
convention of all the talents.-New York

The RIGHTS of Murderer.

A defendant in a murder case in New
York state was once placed on trial before
jury of II. A member OF the jury died
during his trial. The prisoners counsel
agreed with the district attorney that the
trial should continue before IL jurors and
that no record of the death of one of their
number should be entered on the minutes
of the court. The prisoner was convicted
ana sentenced to punishment. An appeal
was afterward taken 10 the effect that nei-
ther his counsel nor the district attorney
nor the court nor the prisoner had a right
TO waive the latter's right to a trial by IL
jurors. The conviction was set aside for
that reason. AS. however, nothing in the
record showed in a formal and official way
that the trial occurred and that the verdict
was rendered by less than ~ jurors, it was
also held that the man had been put once
in jeopardy and could not be put twice in
the same position. He was therefore dis
charged.
He was thus tried and not tried found
guilty and not found guilty, convicted and
practically acquitted, all at the same time
and under the same proceeding. The con-
tention was that every man indicted and
tried for crime previous to his arraignment,
and every one who might be so indicted and
so tried after his arraignment had an in
terest in his trial by twelve jurors, a right
TO his trial by twelve jurors, and that when
be waived his own right he impaired their
right in their trial and their right in his
trial and that the thing could not be per-
mitted. -Brooklyn Eagle.

A Capacious Nav.

It was in she summer time. An English
man of gentle manners arrived at a Swiss
hotel. Tired Uf his journey, he sat down at
the dinner table, placing his bag on the
chair next TO the one he occupied. When
be had finished his repast, he called for the
BILL when he found that he was charged
the double amount.
How is thiss" he inquired and was told
in reply that his baS had taken up the
room of a guest at the table. Upon receiv-
ing this information he quickly paid the
bill and took his departure.
A couple of days afterward the same
Englishman returned to the hotel, where,
as before. he took his seat at the dinner Ia
bic, and as before placed his bag on the
next chair The dinner was served. The
Englishman ate a hearty meal and so did
his travelling bag, which received its full
allowance of every dish that was brought
the table. General merriment among
the guests, our English tourist all the while
observing grave and silent department.
The walters look in blank establishment.
The bag is getting fuller by degrees. At
last the landlord, in a towering rage, ap-
pears on the scene.
'Sir, how dare you'll / never saw any
thing like il in my lifei"
Then the taciturn diner got up and OBJ
served in his blandest tones: MY travel
ing bag is in better condition now than it
was three days ago. 1t is sorry that its ap-
petite was none of the best on the former
occasion"
A dark mist overspread the eyes Of the
landlord, whereas the light seemed to dawn
upon the rest of the company. The Eng
lishman told them all what had happened.
