CORBETT AND THE KINETO-

Galveston, Dec. PA reporter of the
Associated Press asked Pugilist Corbett
this morning what he thought of the
proposition of kaleidoscope to fight Fitz-
simmons before that machine in Mexico
Corbett said: ats all wind, it is impos-
sible to fight before the knetoscope. L
fought before it once and ID is all bosh to
say that battle according to Queens
bury rules can be fought before it. A
round can only last one minute and there
is rest of about 10 minutes between the
rounds. 1t can not be regulated to repro

CARING FOR THE EYES,

Psychologists write learned vol
um2s about the deliCates structure
of the eye, and pious people write
pious articles about the pleasures
Of the sight. Women read the vol
tunes and the articles, acquiesce
cordially, and 60 on reading in the
trains, sewing on black by gaslight
doing fine embroidery, studying all
night, and generally abusing their
eyes, Then they take to the oculst
and eyeglasses,
The first step incaringfor the eyes
is to use them, but sparingly. The
strain of steady and continuous
work cannot fail to be injurious.
The woman who is obliged to use
her eyes steadily must give them
| frequent even if brief vacations If
she has to write all day, If she sews
continuously, She should give her
eyes five minute resting spells every
two or three hours. Dropping her
work, closing her eyes, and keeping
them closed for even so brief a pc
riod will rest not only the eyes but
the brain, and work will be easier
and more inspiring afterward. The
woman who is obliged to use her
eyes all day in her business should
not use them any more than is nec-
essary in the evening, Fine sewing,
reading and writing should be en-
tircly tabooed,
Very hot water is beneficial to
the sight if it is rightly applied, 1t
counteracts any tendency to inilam-
nation, and rests and relaXes the
muscles about the eyes, 1t should
be applied not merely against the
lids, but to the eyes themselves, A
soft cloth should be dipped in hot
water, wrung out slightly, and APP
piled to the eyes, Water may also
be dashed against the eyes by the
hand. Five novelties of the hot
water treatment at the close Of a
day S work, followed by Five min
utes Of the hot water treatment do
wonders towards refreshing the
tired sight
When a person is in a state OF
health and vigor the whites of the
eyes are blush in color and very
clear, When the system is run
down, the blood disordered, or the
stomach in poor condition, the
whites OF the eyes are yellowish.
The whites of overstrained eyes, of
eyes that are not closed in sleep
long enough each night, and of eyes
that are given to looking upon wine
when it is red and other glittering
things are bloodshot AS a usual
thing the whites Of the eyes are an
excellent index to the habits and
health Of u man or woman, - New

CARLISLE'S ASPIRATIONS.
He is Said to Be the Administration
Candidate for President in 1896.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27-The posi-
tive declination of Secretary Car
lisie to be considered as a candidate
for governor of Kentucky or United
States senator to succeed Mr., Black
burn is not surprise to the imme-
diate friends of the secretary in
Washington.
Mr.. Carlisle looks higher than
either of these Odces. He has been
promised the support of many i'm
portant aud influential democrats
for the presidential nomination.
To antagonize Blackburn would be
a very unwise move. 1t would ar
ray against the secretary the Black
burn influence in Kentucky, which
is potent in all parts of the state.
With Carlisle out of the race Joe
Blackburn is a sure winner and his
own successor, He will naturally
exert himselfin behalf Of the secre-
rarys presidential aspirations, and
there is no reason to doubt that
Kentucky will send a solid and ear
nest Carlisle delegation to the next
democratic convention.
Just now President Cleveland re-
CARDS with decided favor the pros.
poets Of being succeeded by Secre-
tary Carlisle. 1t may be that the
assistance Of the administration will
be ofgreat value to the secretary at
the opportune moment, Secretary
Carlisle has made enemies OF the
aggressive free silver men Of his
party, but the same acts that
aroused their enmity he has won
the commendation Of sound money
men. Secretary Carlisle may be
counted as more than a presiden-
tial possibility.

Magnetic Girl Trick Exposed.

While in Chicago | saw the an.
nouncement Of an electric girl who
included in her repertoire a new
trick, or, at least one that had
not yet seen, A stick about four
feet long and about as thick as a
broom stick was produced and ] and
another gentlemen were requested
to mold it in a vertical position be-
fore us while praSpng it firmly in
both hands The girl, standing in
front Of us, placed the palm Of her
open hand against the lower portion
OF the stick, resting it on the side
nearest to US and furtherest from
herself After rubbing her hand
up and down for a few minutes in
order "to make the electric current
contract as we were informed,
and, after enjoining US to hold the
stick perfectly vertical, we were
told to press down on 1t as hard as
we could, This we did until the veins
seem to stand out on our foreheads;
but exert ourselves as hard as we
could, we, two strong men, were
unable to press down hard enough
to make the stick slip past the open
palm Of her band, Had the girl
grasped the stick with her two
hands ] am sure she could not have
withstood my downward pressure
alone. ! would have borne her,
stick and all, to the floor,
But there she stood, with but one
open hand bearing against the side
of the stick, and both Of us could
not, by our united efforts, force the
stick past that wonderful hand
Surely there seemed something un'
canny about this, but it is simply
explained
The whole secret consists in iu-
sisting upon the men holding the
stick in a vertical position, When
the girls open hand is first placed
against the lower portion of the
stick, she moves it two or three
times up and down pulling gradual
ly more and more against lit AS
this tends to pull the stick away
from the vertical she insists that
the men keep it straight, Thus
cautioned, they will exert more and
more effort until, when she feels

MADELINE AND BRECK,
Miss Pollard Speaks of Chasing Breck'
inridge While LeCturing,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-A dispatch
was received from Cincinnati yes
terday stating that the attorneys
for Madeline Pollard contemplate
following Congressman Breckin-
ridge on his lecturing tour through
the country in an effort to attach
receipts in payment of Miss Pol
lard's SIS, 900 verdict for breach of
promise
This would be done, it was said,
by filing a transcript of the iudg-
ment had in this city few months
ago in each place the Colonel lee
lures, and basIng a creditors bill
upon that,
The Colonel lectures in Cinciu-
natl, where, the dispatch says, the
first of the reported legal moves
will be made
Judge J. M. Wilson, of Miss Pol
larls counsel during the breach Of
prc mise trial. told a United Press
rel orter last night that he knew
uothing Of this effort to collect the
Judgment on Col Breckenridge, but
suggested that Calderon Carlisle,
who was associated with him during
thr trial, could speak with more
knowledge, as he had the case in
his charge,
Mr. Carlisle was found and made
in fleet the same answer He said
any such proceedings were new to
hill, and he did not believe any ac-
tiun would be taken by western at
torneys unless he was informed Of
it,
The appeal from the proceedings
in the lower court which Col, Breck-
inridge attempted to make, was
dismissed some time ago, and the
judgment stands on the court rec
ord as unsatiSlied
Soon after the termination Of the
trial. and after Miss Pollard had
begun to search for employment,
she was asked il she entertained
any hope of recovering the $4,000
judgment or any part of it.
Certainly not, said she, with a
show of indignation, "Col Breck-
inridge has no money, and If he
had, do you imagine ! would accept
a penny ! Ineyer had a thought
of securing recompense in that way.
Whatever money Col, Breckenridge
has should 60 to others-to his wife
and chldren--and not to me. |
would not take a cent from him If |
could get it."
Miss Pollard intimated most plain
ly at that time that her sole object
in instituting suit had been to hu-
initiate COL Breckenridge, as she
saw NO prospect whateverof pecun.
