rnect or robacco on the rro..

The bad effect of tobacco on the eyes was
unknown even by physicians until within
,1e present century.
Sixty years ago DIR. Mckenzie Of Glasgow
wrote. 81 have already had occasion re-
neatedly to hint my suspicion that tobacco
s a frequent cause Of aurosis''-complete
or partial blindness To one form of this
disease Hutchinson gave the name Of "to-
bacco amaurosis," because he often found
It In men strongly addicted to the use of
tobacco.
DR.. Williams, the celebrated oculist Of
Boston, says, ITO be Of service, treatment
IN tobacco amauross must be begun in the
early stage, before the congestion has been
succeeded by atrophy."
Dr. Francis Bowling Of Cincinnati with
in a few years tested the eyes of 1870 EN-
ployees in the principal tobacco factories Of
that city. Only one woman was found Co
be suffering from the disease, and she had
never used tobacco. This showed that
merely working in the factory had very lit
tie effect on the sight, though it did not
affect unfavorably the general system.
OF the men examined 45 showed more or
less evidence OF amaurosis, 30 of them being
pretty well marked cases. They all mistOoll
red for brown or black and green for light
blue or orange, and in all there was also a
contraction Of both pupils. Thirty out Of
the 45 complained Of gradual failure Of
vision
In one case-not among the employees
just spoken of-the contraction of the pupil
was so great that the sufferer was unable
to 90 about without assistance. lie had
smoked from 20 to 80 cigars day. He re-
nounced tobacco, and his sight was fully
restored in 80 months Chewing has been
found to be much worse than smoking, as

Plump, Noisy, Laughing Babies Wen
Nourished and Growing Upon Diet
OF LRctated Food.
A plump. noisy, laughing baby is per-
petual sunshine in the house
A baby full Of noise and fun,
The veriest mystery under the sun.
AS brimful of mischief and Joy and glee,
AS ever a human frame can be.
Such a baby is well nourished and

on lactated food.
Lactated food frees mothers from long
nights Of anxiety. 1t is within the
reach of all classes
Lactated food saves every year thous-
ands of infants lives It is the best

nourishing diet for an infant.

the cattle-raisers are sending it to market
in such quantities that the receipts at the
Villette market in Paris are double the
average. and occasionally even more.
Beef and mutton On the hoof have declined
80 per cent. Yet the Paris butchers-!ike
some butchers in cities not so far away
as the French capital-cousider the de-
cline in the wholesale market a win fall
for them. and charge just as much as usual
for chops and steaks. At this the Paris
workman rebels. breaks out in violence,
fights with the gendarmes and smashes
windows. A baby revolution impends in
consequence of the price Of bifteck aux
pommes.
The Ministry ana the Chamber are called
upOn to interfere. 1t is not clear what
they can do. They cannot in this age Of
enlightenment fix the price of steaks by
law. When the wholesale supply OF an
article increases. it is generally safe to
rely on competition to bring down the re-
tail price. In this case the Paris butchers
are guild or close corporation, and the
masters of the guild fix prices for all.
If similar complication occurred In
this country it would involve legislative
action against the guild. which would
probably be fatal to its existence. Rather
than risk destruction the guild would take
water. 1t is possible that the French
Chamber may have some such remedial
action in view.

JURY TRIALS.

The faith in the jury system for police
court cases has received unusual recogni-
ton in Chicago, where a new law has come
into operation which prohibits lmprison-
ment tor misdemeanors and felonieS I'M
less the defendant is tried by jury, save
only In cases where the right TO jury has
been expressly waived. If the system is
to be generally awaited of block of cases
in the courts must inevitably result. and
the additional costs to the city for jurors,
maintenance of prisoners and court ex-
penses will be considerab e 1t is not
clear why there should be such scrupulous
consideration for safeguarding the rights
OF prisoners to justice, but some far-seeing
lawyers were doubtless the instigators of
the change. The drain upon the time of
citizens eligible as jurors cannot be agree
able TO business men, but some consola-
tion, not very promising for purity OF de-
csons. seems to be extracted from the sit
uation, it being assumed that a class of
professional jurors will be created. In
order that there may not be positive ava
lanche Of jury cases 10 snow the courts un-
der with business the Judges have agreed
to ask all prisoners whether they want a
jury. Ii they answer in the negative they
are 10 sign waivure of the jury. This, it
is thought. will encourage prisoners who
know they have no loophole Of escape, to
prefer trial by the Judge alone. Were
they to demand a jury they would have to
wait for it during weeks in the tanks. and
in case of conviction they would have to
remain in prison Il fortnight or more to
pay for extra costs The city bears the ex-
jc fol nr i'm 70
pay. The law has nothing to recommend
it in dealing with criminals. All the
graver cases must go to higher courts, but
to insist upon all defendants charged with
misdemeanor or felony having the same
privileges that person arraigned for MUIR
der has. is a loose practice, especially as it
is said a police court jury is peculiarly
prejudiced against verdicts of conviction
The jury system itself is on its trial under
such circumstances.

DEBTORS AND CREDITORS.

A financial writer in the New York Sun
saws:
The only ground now upon which the free
coinage Of silver can be advocated without mis-
representing facts is that lt Will give the deb or
cheaper standard Of value than gold in which
to D ay his debts.
The idea the representative OF Wall
street seeks to convey is that debtors are
ready to cheat their creditors by paying
their debts in deprecated currency If the
law will allow them. Wall street never
considers the crime of compelling debtors
to pay in more valuable currency than
existed when their debts were contracted,
but dwells necessarily upon the atrocty
OF purpose to pay debts in less valuab
currency. Twenty years ago the United
States was on bimetallic basis. The
money Of both metals constituted the
measure of values tor commodities. Bonds
of all kinds were issued payable in gold.
The purchasing power of money was fixed
on the bimetallic standard. Then came
the movement to increase the purchasing
power of money by demonetizing silver
The United States Treasury set the ex-
ample by paying coin bonds in gold. The
banks put their business on gold basis.
The law which made silver money equal as
a debt-payipg medium with gold was ig-
nored. The consequence Is that the value
of money has gone up. Products of labor
are cheaper than ever before. Wheat has
never in recent times sold at so low a
price as within the past few days. And
yet we are treated to long dispositions on
the crime Of paying debts in deprecated
currency. All the most ardent silver man
