A THREE-EYEp LIZARD.
One of the Most Striking CuriOsities of the
ReptiIian Kingdom.

One of the Most Striking Curiosities of the
ReptiIian Kingdom.
Speaking of lizards, the queerest
one we have seen for a long time
reached US the other day from New
Zealand says a scientist in the Wash
ington correspondence of the St Louis
Globe-Democrat. ''It is nar-yl the
'cyc1opean lizard because it has a third
eye on the top of its head. However, it
is not a true lizard, but sorl OF con
Meeting link between the lizards and
the turtles. The species is limited to n
small island near New Zealand, and it
has been rendered almost entirely ex-
tinct by hogs with a taste for its flesh.
1t attains q length of three feet, but all
of the big ones were eaten up long ago.
The third eye is rudimentary, but dis
section of its structure plainly reveals
the eye socket, the lens, and a strand
of nerves connecting the visual tract of
the brain.
This eye is interesting chiefly be-
cause it corresponds to the third eye with
which every human being is provided.
The so-callcd 'pineal gland is actually
an eye that has become rudimcntary.
The.gland IS about the size and shape
of pea, and is situated in the middle
Of the head. Place the end of your
finger just. above the bridge of your
nose, on u level with the eyes, and di-
rectly behind that point five inches is
the gland. 1t still retains somewhat
the structure of an eye. The ancients
supposed it to be the center of con-
sciousness and the seat of the soul"

Something She CouId Paint.

Nine. d'Albertin, one of the lesser
painters of France, was as conceited
about her artistic ability as she was no.
torious for her excessive use of cos
metics. On one occasion, a certain
count, who held her in much disesteem,
lost bet to her. 'eAnd what will
madame choose?' he asked, with mock
courtesy. Something in my art, I" she
simpered; something 1 can paint. .
very well, madame, . he replied, bow
ing himself out, A day later madame
received package from the count,
which, upon being opened, revealed a
life-size drawing of her own face in out
line.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least one
dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure all its stages and that is
Catarrh. Halls. Catarrh Cure is the
only positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a con-

tional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure
is taken internally, acting directly upon
the blood and mucous surfaces of the

Several New York Bankers Air Their
Views Before the House Currency
Committee.
BALTIMORE PLAN DISCUSSED
Some in Favor Of 1t With alterations,
While Others Call Itan Intia-
tiOn Scheme.

i WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-two promi
nent New York financiers were before
the house banking and currency COM
mittee to give their views as to the best
way Co reform our currency laws. They
were William G. Cornwell, president of
the New York State Bankers associa-
tion. and w Dodsworth. editor of the
New York Journal OF Commerce. Mr..
Cornwell's views can be summed mp as
follows:
Creenbaciss shoaId BE Cancelled-
L. The greenback and treasury notes
should be redeemed and cancelled; the
real business OF the government ms re.
CARDS money is to stamp upon gold and
silver their fineness and weight. !, A
government has no right to issue paper
with nothing back OF it, and to make
IL legal tender--to create q currency,
and by an act OF law. force the people to
take il full value without regard to the
intrinsic worth.
Q. The vacancies should be filed
with bank notes. The best currency of
the best nations is mainly bank notes
which are q frat loan upon the assets OF
the bank. These assets are commercial
possessions, representing the product OF
the brain and muscle OF millions OF
people. They are the wealth OF the
nation. What better basis for circula-
ton can there be than this-the actual
wealth of the nation.

To fill the vacancy created by the re-
tirement of the legal tenders, and az
