Like every other sense, that of sight
improves by use under healthy condi-
tions, and therefore the people who have
the greatest exercise Of their vision in
the open air under the light of the sun
have the best eyesight. Generally speak
ing. savage tribes possess the keenest eye
sight, acquired through hunting. Natives
Of the solomon islands are very quick at
p~erceiving distant objects, such as ships
at sea. and will pick out birds concealed
in dense foliage some 60 or 20 feet high.
Shepherds and sailors are blessed with
good sight.
Eskimos will detect a white fox in the
snow a great distance away, while the
Arabs of the deserts of Arabia have such
extreme powers of vision that on the
vast plains OF the desert they will pick
out objects invisible TO the ordinary eve.

Among civilized peoples the Norwegians
have better eyesight than most if not all
others. rs they more generally fulnll the
necessary conditions. The reason why
defective eyes are SO much on the in
crease in TINS country, and in Europe
lies in too much study of books in early
life and in badly lighted rooms.-Brook-

FLESH EATING r

A eksptic Was Convinced When He Saw
One Munching Mutton.
Hare is a dish never seen on a Spanish
table, because in Spain there is a super
stition that hares in the night go into
ehurchyards and dig up the graves and
eat the dead bodies. A writer who spent
some time shooting in Castillo, where
game is very plentiful, relates how he
was convinced Of the fact that the hares
30 eat flesh. He had been told SO by
the country people, but had treated their
assertion as a ridiculous fiction. The
text time he found himself in a party of
sportsman ne repeated what he had
heard as a joke, but to his surprise every
one listened quite gravely and assured
him that it was perfectly true. They
themselves had frequently seen hares
eating flesh. As he still expressed doubts
On the subject, however, one of the CON-
pany offered to bet him so liters of wine
that he (the Germany should see a hare
eating meat. The bet was accepted.
The next morning, very early, the Span
lard, the German and two greyhounds
went out to a great heath to look for
flesh eating hares. As they were sitting
waiting for the hares to appear, the
Spaniard, to the Germans amazement,
took a little live crab out of his pocket.
What do you van that for?' said the
German. ITO catch the hare with" re-
piled the ~Spaniard. 1t struck the Ger
man that perhaps the Spaniard had
brought him out merely to make a fool
of him. But then he reflected that that
was not the Spanish way with strangers.
so he held his tongue and went on wait
ing. By and by a fine rare appeared.
In a IN the two dogs were after
him (they were well muzzled, so tina.
they could not do him any HARM, and
in a few moments more the hare had dis
appeared again in his hole, and the dogs
were barking at its mouth. The men got
up and hurried after them.
Now" said the Spaniard, ''this is
where my crab m in" He pulled
put the crab and put it down at the
mouth of the hole, and it, glad to hide in
the dark shade, crept in with all the ex-
petition It could manage. The Span
lard instantly spread a large coarse sack
over the entrance. and in a few moments
put rushed the hare, terrified by its I'M
expected visitor, right into the sack.
Home they went with their prisoner.
which they placed in a cage. When the
hare had recovered from his fright, he

Improving An Opportunity.

A man who was somewhat the worse
for frequent ibations boarded a Market
street car the other day, and while he
rode he kept the other passengers con.
vulsed. After he had comfortably seat

There was no room for them TO sit down,
SO the inebriated man remarked to two
young men next him, why don't you

Seeing that they did not move, the
man addressed himself to the two young
ladies in about this style, ''Girlsh. f l
