'Do you know" he said, that there

this country who are victims of the dia-

and women by the score who would

find them-that is to say, the we'll
dressed ones-standing in the shops of
the fashionable jewelers., lingering and
bargaining for one or more of the loose
stones. Outside, others with pinched
faces and cheap clothes crowd about
the show window and feast their eyes
on the diamonds displayed behind the
glass Let one of these drunkards-f for
in their own peculiar way they are
drunkards-once get possession of a
valuable stone and you will find that
he will sacrifice almost all of his earth

bosom. Every day he saunters up

CIVILIZATION AND SIGHT.
Wild Animals After n Period of Captivit
Grow Defective In Vision.

hllu Anlmals AFTER BerlOu OF Captivity
Grow Defective In Vision.
The subject of short-sightedness Ia
animals was under consideration at a
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 un-
expected proof of this view was found
in the condition of wild beasts, such as
tigerE, 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 a
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. "In fact" said
the owner "when l 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.
MED SO plaintively that put the head
stall and goggles on him and he was SO
glad that he rubbed my shoulder with
his nose" 1t is thought that the vice
OF shying, which spoils SO many other
wise valuable horses, is induced by
short-sightedness. The animal cannot
see some particular object sufficiently
plainly to feel sure that it is of harm
less nature and so SHES away from it
Owners of dogs may often prove that
their pets suffer from short sight, for it
will often be found that dog is una BILE
to recognize people with whose appear
ance 1t is most intimate when they are
little way off, while another dog, at
the same distance, has no difficulty
whatever in recognizing them Dogs
have been provided with spcctacles in
the same way as the farmers horse
alluded to, and have been conclusively
shown to have derived great benefit
from them. Brooklyn Eagle.

The story is told of the governor Of a
certain western state that at one time
he was in remote region, and had to
pass one night in log cabin which
served as inn for small settlement
The quarters were limited, and it fell
out that the governor must sleep with
young lrishman employed about the
place.
This arrangement was not exactly to
the taste of the state official, but he
was forced to submit to it. But he
could not refrain from m aking his con-
desceusion known to his roommate.
Mike" he said, impress ively, as he
was getting ready for the night, you
would stay long time in me old coun-
try before you'd ever have chance to
sleep with governor.
"Shure," assented Mike, promptly.
But it's meself is thinkin'," he added,
sagelv, "that you'd have to stay long
tonne in the ould country before yer
honor would be governor!"-Youth's
Companion.
