"If I was to try the race over again, what
would I 60 intof" inquired the man on
the corner in answer to a question. well,
sir, I would be a specialist In medicine.
There Is not q fairly good n in the coun-
try who Is not overrun with patients.
Take the eye doctors, for instance. They
are today making 1t plain TO tho public
that a great part Of our ailments which
were laid to all sorts Of causes come d.
reotly from the faulty condition Of tho
eyes, which thus produce a strain ON the
system SO severe that something gives
AWAY. Three of my nearest friends have
lately made this discovery after looking
for their ailments In every possible quar-
ter. Defective eyes are not only very much
more general than was formerly supposed,
but they yield to skillful treatment, and a
shattered system Is made vigorous by tho
process, thus effecting two remedies mt
once. There are not men enough in the
profession fitted to do this work Is fast as
1t makes its appearance. buffalo Ex-

Hunting Up the Lost-Over -Four Hundred
Missing People Found by One Man.
In neon Cregan, {" ono Of the late Charles
Lovers breezy novels, an unusual profes-
sion Ia referred to as having been In exist
ence in Paris. It was . quatorzieme, or
fourteenth. This was . person who was
hired out to make y fourteenth at table
when any host who was giving a dinner
party found that IS were present. In
Brooklyn there Is = person engaged In an
occupation unique Is u quatorrieme. 1t
is that Of a discoverer or rather tracer Of
missing friends.
j. Colonna Drenon Is his name, and he
has been singularly successful in his odd
profession. Facts are In his possession
that would prove a veritable mine OK
wealth to the novelist or romance writer.
Mr.. Drenon is an Englishman of Irish de-
scent and has been but a short time In
this country. During this period he has
gladdened the hearts OF many and relieved
the minds of others who have sought ii
dings as TO the fate of long missing rela-
tives or friends. Wives have wished to
know what had become Of husbands, ia
theirs and mothers OF sons and daughters,
brothers of sisters and sisters Of brothers.
In the United States alone Mr.. Drenon
has successfully traced upward Of 400
missing persons, all hailing from Great
Britain. Two popular weekly London
Newspapers, Reynolds Newspaper and
Lloyd's Weekly, publish columns relat-
ing to missing relatives, and Mr.. Dren-
on's name figures In hen regularly. He
receives correspondence on tho subject
from all parts Of the world. chiefly Eng
and and British possessions, and his daily
mail Is a heavy n Some of the inquir-
les made are by relatives of persons who
left their homes in Great Britain or Ire
and go and even so years ago, and others
seek information Of those who may rave

years.
Mr.. Drenon, who lives In comfortable
apartments In q central part Of Brooklyn,
spoke in q very entertaining way of his
career and methods. He does not look
more than 30 years old and has a shrcwd,
earnest face, with a most kindly express
sions. He has many and varied x
riences.--Boston Herald.

Emperor William ! Of Germany pos
sessed an iron will and at the same time
had q great gift of popularity-a most
happy combination for q ruler. At tie
close Of the French wal he dictated TO his
private secretary an address which he in
tended to deliver to the German army.
The final sentence ran thus:
But do not forget that we must all be
grateful toward Providence, for Provi-
dence has willed that we should be tho In
strument destined to accomplish what are
such great events in the history Of the
world"
The secretary, having his own ideas, as
even the secretaries Of emperors and kings
cannot help having, wrote, Providence
has permitted"
"Stop, f" said the aged emperor. "Do you
imagine that I could have supported the
burden Of this war II I bad not entertained
the firm conviction that Providence willed
IT. Write the word as I dictated it."
With all this faith In himself-that IL,
In his divine commission-he preserved
those simple and human qualities which
In q strong ruler never fail to win the
favor and even the homage of the people.
A young gardener was showing him over
the grounds of his ~favorite retreat at
Babelsberg. The emperor noticed that the
youth was embarrassed and seemingly pre-
occupied and by and by demanded the
reason.
"Your majesty" said the boy, I'm half
an hour I am due at the barracks at Pots
dam"
That was enough. In a few minutes the
young soldier was in uniform, n the
emperor took him post haste In his own
carriage TO the drill ground.-Youth's

CenssAsrstions That Guide the Prcfersnces
of Naval Onioers.
One of the oldest features Of that little
known annual, The United States Navy
Register, IL tho record Of each officers
time of SEQ service, shore duty and idle
ness. IL seems at first thought that IL
must DO the business of q naval officer TO
60 TO sea; but, AS a matter OF fact, naval
Officers pass from ono-quarter TO two-thirds
of their time ashore.
The admirals are usually credited with
from 10 to 20 years Of sea service, from
l5X to "a years of shore duty and from .
to 10 years Of idleness. The proportions In
the case Of c~ommodores are much the
same, and tho time Of CAPTAINS at sea and
ashore is pretty evenly divided on the aver
age, with wido variations In cases, and
from 1 to IL years in idleness.
Tho lioutenants - both grades have
had from q u IL years at sea and from .
TO IL ashore, with short periods Of idleness,
varying from a few months to n year n
q half.
1t Is the scheme of the navy department
TO send each officer three years to sea n
then TO give hima tour Of shore duty. The
scheme Is not strictly carried out, and
there IL no hard and fast rule upon the
subject.
Pay Is from $500 to 81, 900 q year more
at sea than ashore, and this advantage
determines many officers to seek aea serv-
ice, and especially to shun waiting orders.
To put a man on waiting orders for a
long period Ii one form of light punish
ment for minor misdeods. 1t means q loss
In pay of from $500 To 81, 600 a year.
1t Is the theory Of tho navy that an off,
Ger with a family needs more money at
sea than ashore, because In the former
case 10 must make special provision for
his family, whereas In the latter his wife
and children can share quarters with him.
All sorts OF motives mysterious to lands
men decide an officer In his preference for
this on that shore duty. SOM men eschew
the New York navy yard until they have
attained sufficient rank to make Thorn feel
1t ease and free from the fear Of imposi-
tion. Some seek places at Newport be-
cause such appointments may bring them
into a gay and fashionable society.
Others seek to escape from u duty for
the very same reason. Some Of the billets
at Newport carry with them plenty Of
house room and charming grounds, mat
ters TO DO considered IL n man wishes to
take his place in the society Of the city.
The Norfolk navy yard Is popular be-
cause an officer may there enjoy at small
expense a kindly and agreeable society.
There il q pleasant little nava station at
New London, and there are charming
quarters for an officer of rank ut the sew
eral naval hospitals. Duty at League Is
land, Pa, Is pretty dull, but It is a good
place to wear out old clothes.-Boston

THE DETECTIVES sTRATAeEM.


A Remarkably Clever Piece Of Courtroom
Work by an Ocuiist.
Here Is an interesting account OF a very
clever bit Of detective work by an oculist.
1t appears that in q large factory, in which
were employed several hundred persons,
one Of the workmen, In welding his ham
mer, carelessly allowed IL TO slip from his
hand. II fiew half way across the room AND
struck q fellow workman In the left eye.
The man averred that his eye was blind
cd by the blow, although u careful exami-
nation failed TO reveal any injury, there
being not q scratch visible. He brought u
suit In tho courts for compensation for the
loss of half Of his ~eyesight. and refused all
offers Of compromises.
Under the law the owner Of tho factory
was responsible for an injury resulting
from an accident Of this kind, and al
though he believed that the man was
shamming, and that the whole case was an
attempt at sw:ndling, he had about made
up his mind that he would be compelled
TO pay the claim. The day Of the trial ar
rived, and In open court an eminent ocu-
list retained for the defense examined the
alleged injured member and gave IL as his
opinion that 10 was as good as the right
one. Upon the plaintiffs loud protest of
MS ln6OLlty 10 SEQ WltL nfs iclb eye, tut
oculist proved him . perjurer and satisfied
the court and jury of the falsity Of his
claim.
And how do you suppose he did if
Why, simply by knowing that the colors
green and red combined make black. He
procured q black card on which u few
words were written with green ink. Then
the plaintiff WAS ordered to put on n pair
of speotacles with two different glasses, the
one for the right eye being red, and the n
for the left eye consisting of ordinary
glass. Then the card was handed him, and
he was ordered to read the writing on it.
This he did without hesitation, and the
cheat was ut once exposed. The sound
right eye, fitted with tho red glass, was
unable to distinguish the green writing on
the black surface Of the card, while the
left eye, which he pretended was sightless,
was the one with which the reading had
to be dons.-Shoftieid (England) Tele-
