The Strain on the Eve.

There is no reason why a muscle or
muscles of the eye should not flag out
just as the muscles elsewhere do. Let
n bear a weight all day long, does he
not attribute his consequent headache
to the heavy burden he has borne? It
seems without elaborate thinking we
could conceive of the results following
upon prolonged use Of the eye. Nature
has done all she could to protect and
prolong the usefulness of the eye.
No earthly architect ever yet planned
a structure that would not yield, crum-
BILE and fall, and the house human, so
exquisitely uplifted in curious and mys-
FERROUS ways, falls and returns to dust
more rapidly and surely than need be,
for the reason that we onot realize how
much one part is sustained or over
thrown by another. One tiny muscle is
potent enough to disturb the whole econ
omy, especially if intercurrent diseases
exist in addition to ''eye strain. Phil
adelphia Record.

A Puzzled Mother.


1T takes a 14-year-old boy to see
through his mother" laughed such a
mother the other day. Last week l
planned to take a friend to the theater,
and her only free night was Thursday.
Now, I often take my boy to see a play.
but 1 make it a rule it shall not be on a
night preceding a school day. So on
this occasion I explained to my son that
he could not go, and as an offset to his
disappointment arranged an outing for
the Saturday following. He acquiesced
most dutifully and beautifully, and the
matter rested. Thursday came, and as
the afternoon waned, | found that my
son was to be all alone part of the even
ing, and | began to wish that he was
going with us. At last l made up my
mind, and calling him said:
81 think, after all, you may go tonight.
You are going to be alone, and I know
you always count upon these trips to the
theater. So if you'll study hard till din
ner you shall be Of the party"
"'That's all right, mother replied the
young scamp with a laugh. I knew
you'd weaken at the last, so I've managed
my lessons, and I'm all ready. And now
Pm alternately deplor1ny my want of
strength and wondering how to preserve
a semblance of authority with so shrewd
a son."-New York Times.

The Servant Was Mortified,

DR.. S. had a newly arrived Hiber-
MAN for a servant. He had also recent
ly purchased a pair of porpoise leather
boots. His wife, attracted by the nov
city of the new footwear, asked the doc
tor in the presence of the servant what
they were made of, to which he respond
ed, "Porpoise hide"
Shortly after the lady from the Emer-
aid Isle interviewed Mrs. S. and an
nounced her intention of ~"laving whin
me week is up" Mrs. S., somewhat
surprised, asked the disturbed domestic
the reason for her announced departure,
to which Bridget responded with a hor-
rified air:
Your husband is a docther, mum, an
I've heard them docthers do be cuttin
up people, an didn't I hear um wild me
own ears say that the boots of him were
made of pauper's hide. It's me own
ould father that died in the poorhouse,
an I wouldn't be servin a haythen that
uses the skin of the poor to cover his
dirthy feet wid."-Boston Commercial
Bulletin.

The Vibration of Steamers.

The discomfort of the excessive vibra-
ton on board the fast sailing ocean steam
ers has increased so much with the in
crease in the speed of travel that investi-
cations have been made into the subject
with a view of modifying the inconven-
fence caused to passengers. The usual
idea is that this vibration is due to the
action of the powerful engines. This is
apparently erroneous, for it is now found
that the cause consists solely in the uni
son between the number of revolutions
of the engines and the number of vibra-
tions of the ship. The smaller the length
Of the ship the greater is the number
per unit of its vibrations, and the longer
the steamert the greater is the correspond
ing time Of its vibrations.-New York

Better Left UnSaid.

A certain young poet is equally ia
nous in the world of letters as an au-
thor and among his friends for his blunt
candor that is forever betraying him
into n Of the things n would have
preferred to say differently, as Du Maui
rier puts it. On his last birthday hewas
given a charming dinner by his doting
parents, at which he was bitterly disap-
pointed by the regret of several nota-
bles. Thus, when a society girl said to
him at the close Of the evening, "What
a delightful time we have hadw he ex-
claimed from the fullness of his heart:
''Tm glad it hasn't seemed dull to you.
We invited some awfully clever people,
but not one of them camey"-Philadel-
phia Press.

An English Tribute to Emerson.

When the celebrated Arthur Stanley,
dean of Westminster, had finished his
visit here in the year 1878, he was asked
about the American pulpit. He said in
reply that he had of course availed him
self of every opportunity to hear the
American preachers. He had heard
preachers of eminence. he said, in al
most every communion. But it mat
tered not what was the name of the
communion, the preacher" he said,

you going to tell me, Mr.. Cardiac?"

Under the provisions of the Austrian
poor law, at go years of age a man may
claim from his native town or commune
a pension equal to one-third of the daily
wages which he had received during his
working years. The amount varies from
2 to 6 forms a month. In Vienna alone
there are 5000 persons who receive these
pensions from the city.

PROFESSIONAL PRISONERS.
DR.. Meyer and His wife Murdered Men
For Insurance Money.

DR.. Meyer and His wife Murdered Men
For Insurance Money.
Murder most foul, strange and unnat-
hral, /" said the ghost Of Hamlet's father
when speakinR OF his own death by poison
Truly this Is the vilest form of murder
but life insurance men say 1t is increasing
The latest case Is almost too horrible for
belief. and yet It seems to be proved that
DIR. Henry c. 4. Meyer and his wife,
Mary, recently arrested In Detroit and
taden to New York, made murder by
poisoning their business. and the list of
their victims includes two of his former
wives, her alleged husband, an innocent
servant girl and no one knows how many
others. The last case, and the one conclu-
sively proved, was the poisoning in New
York of their confederate, Ludwig Brandt.
But DR.. Meyers story is best told In the
order of time. He is German and located
in Chicago about 1876, graduating in medi-
cine n year or two later. He was married,
and his wife died very suddenly. Soon
after he married Mrs. Gelderman, whose
husband, we'll to do grocer, had also died
suddenly. The newly married pair were
arrested but as no poison was found in the
bodies of the dead they could not be held
At least one detective, however, believed
that Dr. Meyer had invented new and
subtle poison and for a long time kept ac-
quainted with the DOCTORS doiDgs. He Sc
cured employment as the agent of life in
surance company and was arrested for forg-
ing policy Of $500, but the matter was
compromised and the prosecution dropped.
In the fall OF iss2 a newspaper man who
had known Mrs. Gildcrman-Moyer during
the life OF her first husband saw her on
Clark street 30 sick that she could barely
stand. He assisted her home, and on the
way she intimated to him that her life was
in danger. Next day her child, little
daughter Of Gildernan. was found dead
drowned in the bathtub," DIR. Meyer said
Mrs. Gelderman-Meyer openly declared
that the doctor had drowned the child as
1t was the heir Of its father, and Meyer had
charge of some Of the property, but moth
ing could be proved. That Mrs Meyer es-
capped, however for the doctor ran away
with another woman. The next case OF
note was in Toledo, where Dir. Meyer tried
to collect $500 insurance on the life of an

THE POPE
On the Labor Questionable holiness
Addresses Himself 10 the World.

ROME, July 31.-rhe pope has been
engaged for some months upon an en-
cyclical to all the rulers in Christen-
dom.
As previous encyclicals have shown,
His Holiness has the labor question very
near to his heart. He has long had Il
lively hope that before the end of his
pontihcate he could be instrumental in
bringing about a better condition of the
masses of the people and friendlier
feeling between the capitalist and the
operative.

the encyclcal-which the pope will issue
shortly-and Is able to cable in adj
vance an ETglish translation. which
covers all points and adheres closely to

encyclical will be sent to ench of the

other woman, who had died suddenly. An
inquiry was set on foot, and he and his sup

another detective to the scene, who de
clared that the dead woman WINS not DIR.

poor and unknown girl whom he had

While In Toledo he hired one Mary Neiss

pears that while in another city this girl
was taken i'll suddenly, became suspicious,
refused all medicine from the doctor and
his wife and left them as soon as she was
able. And this is but small part OF what
IS charged against him, for detectives from
several other places have been on his track.
1t was m January, 1852, that the Meyer
