The second edition of the December
worlds fair Cosmopolitan brings the
total up to the extraordinary figures OF
400, 600 copies, an unprecedented re-
suit in the history O. magazines.
Four hundred thousand copies, POO
tons, ninety-four million pages, enough
to fill POO wagons with 1000 pounds
each, in single line, in close order.
this would be file of wagons more than
mile and a half long. This means
not less than 9, 600, 600 readers scattered
drought the the United States. The
course of The Cosmopolitan for the past
nwelve months may be compared to
that of a rolling SNOWFALL, more sub
scribers means more money spent in
buying the best articles and best illus
trations in the world, better illustra-
tions and better articles mean more
subscribers, and so the two are acting
upon each other until it seems probable
that the day is not far distant when
the magazine publishers will be able to
give SO excellent all article that it will
claim the attention Of every intelligent
reader in this country.

HE\SHY MAN.
A Few Words In His Defense, Pre-
Sumably by Woman.

A Few Words I'm His Defense, Pre-
sumably by a Woman.
One of the characters in modern
novel is made to say, II love a shy
man. He is getting so scarce"
Perhaps that is why he is so really
delicious.
When he bushes palpably, but with
out looking awkward, one is drawn
toward him by certain sentiment Of
affinity, and so long as he is just shy
enough, but not too shy, he wins moro
and more upon one.
To draw really shy man out of his
shyness is pleasing task,and the more
so as he is generally enchanted to give
expression to the thoughts and ideas
that he usually keeps locked fast away
within himself One comes upon a stray
Jewel or two now and then in such
cases in the shape Of an unexpected
thought that astonishes the discoverer
because it seems so different from the
person from whom it emanates.
I assure you l think shy men arc
sometimes very charming, but then
one must be a little bit shy ones self
in order to appreciate them.
you know that they come out of their
shell in tete-a-tete, and mot always
then, so that there is a pleasing ele-
ment Of uncertainty about them which
adds to the interest they inspire?

Actor-Musician From Smyrna.
Of several of these nationalities have
rarely, if ever, been seen in America,
and some of them could not be induced
to leave the boundaries Of their own
native countries, says the Chicago Her
aid. The Columbian exposition has,
perhaps, brought together a greater
variety of people who owe their ale
glance to the sultan Of Turkey than was
ever before seen outside the city of
Constsntinople- even excepting the
Paris exposition of 1889. There are to
be found in the Turkish village on Mid
way Plaisance Drlzes, Meron:tes, Greek
Catholics, Samaritans, lshmaelites, Nos
irriats, Yazidites, ETC., not to mention
the Kurds, Bethlemites, Jews from Je-
J'1salem. Damascenes and natives of
BeyrOot, Mount Lebanon, Smyrna,
Thessalonia and other parts Of the sui

in Europe.
Germany's New Army Bill.
Admitting Russia to be an ally Of
France, the possibility of his having to
fight on two fronts has suggested itself
to Wilhelm, who, surveying his army,
doubted it's capacity to cope simultane-
ously with Russia and France. Hence,
he conceived the new army bill. What
is the inside meaning Of that measure?
Does the emperor mean to be an ag-
gressor or merely to act on the defen-
sive? Nobody has declared any inten-
ton of warning on Prussia, nor has any
minor offense been committed against
her, but Germany has committed many
acts calculated to eXasperlte Russia.
A Coburg prince has beal placed on
the Bulgarian thrOne-a direct insult to
Russia; and, to make things worse,
Prince Ferdinand and Stambuloff have
been received in Austria. 10 crown all,
Ferdinand has been nominated to per-
petuate a condition of things antagon-
istic to Russia. The very constitution
granted to Bulgaria by the car, Alex
ander H., has been changed, and it
seems as though the patience of his IL
lustrious successor might well be eX-
hausted. Yet the car appears to bea1

INVESTIGATING THE HUMAN
i EVE =

BY Means of Two New Instruments
All Its Functions and Diseases Are
known.
The London Optician, in describing
the remarkable progress that has been
made of late years in the treatment Of
eye diseases, says that with the oph-
thlamoscope and ophthatnometer there
are very few problems with regard to
the functions and diseases of the hu-
man eye that cannot be determined
by an expert in q very few moments
Of time.
1t may safely he asserted that there
is no department of knowledge of the
functions and diseases Of the human
body that is so advanced as that Of
ophthalmology, and this has been the
work Of the civilization Of the nine
teenth century. With the ophthalmo-.
scope the circular opening in the iris,
which we call the pupil is made WIN
dow looking upon 4 scarlet picture,
in the center Of which is a beautiful
white moon-lile disc, over which radi-
ate vessels pulsating with the blood
constantly pumped in by the heart.
Liz. udIkSE returning curTouC III lu0
veins is also seen, while the varying
and almost numberless changes made
by disease are noticed by the prac-
ticed eye, and tell tale Of warning
and often of woe. The entrance Of
| the optic nerve in the retina, a lit
tie spot one-seventeeth of an inch in.
diameter, is made to appear as a white
disc. sZ&s. ....... -.#.:1-.
Beside all this, the lens and the.
great vitreous huraor-those transpar-
ent structures that make up the great
er part Of the interior of the eye
are so lighted up that any changes in
them. however minute, are magnified
| by their own power rs lenses and
clearly seen. With the instrument for
measuring the radius Of the coimea,
the ophthalmometer, another variety
.of revelation is made, which neduces
the choosing Of glasses to aid vision
to a purely scientific problem, easily
and exactly solved, and with 81 salts

whole subject far from the humdrum
and mechanical ideas that are often
associated with srlch an occupation. B
