PENSIONING FIREMEN.

A Callman Thinks That Old Members
Might Be Made of Great Use to the City.
TO the Editor Of the NeIos
Just now the firemen are securing con-
siderable attention from the citizens in
their efforts for higher wages and pen
sions. The first subject will probably be
settled satisfactorily to them. The Sec
ond is a question that will require some
time for ITS consideration, aud / wish TO
offer some suggestions. To the taxpayer
the cost will be the first thing consid-
cred. Now instead OF retiring man

be done aud in whcn the older men

found that all the trades are represented

could be built better aud cheaper than
elsewhere, as there would be no need OF
using anything but the very best stock.

Case Of intermittent Cro.seye..

All the doctors in Bucks county arc
puzzled over the case of little 5-year-old
Justis Storck, whose eyes seem law to
themselves. One day the boy is cross
eyed, xhile the next his eyes are perfect
ly straight, and this curious alienation
has fsen going on for years. The nom
plused doctors call it case Of intermit-
tent strabismus-probably the only one
on record-and despairing of curing it
will give the surgeons Of the Medico-
Chirurgical hospital in this city an op-
portunity to study the matter, as the fa-
ther of the afflicted boy has decided to
send him to that institution for treat
ment. One day the little fellows right
eye squints, on the next both optics are
perfectly straight, and the day following
the left eye becomes affected, and so on
the year round. There is another pecu-
liar feature Of the case. When the right
eye looks squint, the child can bring it
into the correct line of vision by placing
his hand over the good optic, but as soon
as the hand is removed the affected orb
again seeks the inner corner of the eye.

England Catching Up.

Apropos of the election of seven lady
fellows of the Royal Geographical soci-
ETY. it may be of interest to state that
during the SO years of the society's life
about twice that number of medals have
been awarded to distinguished geograph-
ers. OF this number only two have
fallen to the share of womankind. No
lady traveller, not even Constance Cor
dom Cumming, Isabella Bird or Ida
Pfeiffer, has even been deemed worthy
to rank in list Of medalists Of whom
more than one-fourth have been of for
eign acknowledgements or Asiatic.
This is one of the things they do better
in France. Nine. Dieulafoy, for in
stance, ON returning with her husband
from their romantic excavations in Per-
sia, on the site of the ancient Shuslian,
was not only suitably welcomed by the
Paris Geographical society, but also re-
ceived from the state the distinction of
the Legion of Honor. Letter.
