This Ball Nozzle.

According to Chief Bonner, the ball
nozzle which has excited so much inter
est throughout the country is destined to
Wo'K q radical and highly beneficial
ctiAo0 IL - stem of fighting fire.
instead of working at a distance with
straight streams, firemen, by using the
ball nozzle, can enter burning buildings
and work at close range, thus not only
doing more effective work, but averting
to a considerable extent the serious dam
age to interior property, and in many
cases this system will enable firemen to
save the lives Of inmates of burning
buildings. The mall who has given the
world an appliance Of such value is GER
talnly entitled to the gratitude of his
fellow men. New York Tribune.

HANDLING BOA CONSTRUCTORS.
The Trick by Which the Serpents Are
Managed Without Danger.

The Trick by Which the Serpents Are
Managed without Danger.
Snake dealers in South America have
a fine contempt for their squirming and
venomous wares, though it is sometimes
difficult to induce ship captains to carry
them as freight. The snake dealers han
die the boa constructor with great deft-
ness. This serpent bites, but his bite is
not venomous, SO that the Ghief danger
to the handler is from the serpent's
enormously powerful muscles. The
dealers have learned that the boa. to be
really dangerous, must lave a fulcrum
in the shape Of something around which
he may coil his tail.
The boa is, in fact, a lever in which
the ordinary arrangement is power,
weight, fulcrum. Knowing this, the
dealers drop a soft hat over his head,
that be may neither see nor bite, and
then snatch him so suddenly from his
resting place that he has no opportunity
to brace himself by seizing a fixed OBJ
ject with his tail. After that the essen
tial thing is to see that he is not brought
within distance of any such object.
A snake dealer on a Brazilian steam
er the other day was occupied in trans
ferring his boas from one box to anoth-
er. He opened the box an instant, drop
ped a hat over the head Of n of the
creatures, snatched it from it's fellows,
and rushing across the deck dropped it
into the other box. The thing looked SO
easy that a deck hand, waiting until the
snake owners back was turned, essayed
to repeat the act. He neglected to use
the hat, and with a yell yanked a great
snake from the box with it's fangs fixed
in his fingers. Not daring to let go, yet
fearing to hold on, he began whirling
the snake about his head, meanwhile
dancing madly over the deck. The snake
man managed to capture the reptile and
box it in security. Then somebody ex-
pressed concern for the rash deck hand.
to which the snake owner answered:
"What, him? He's all right. But
think Of my snake! It's worth 20 Of that

STRAIN ON THE EYES,.

Children at School Arc Inclined to Hsve
"the Academy Headache"
One of the common causes of pain
above the brows is the overuse of the
eyes and the strain Of accommodation
in constantly looking at near objects.
In its transient form it may be famil-
lar to some as the result Of a visit to
a picture gallery, but in more senses
than n this may be known as ''the
academy headache, for if it is Temporal
rily developed in a morning spent at
Burlington House it is even more
readily excited and permanently estab-
lished among the children ut the board
schools and the girls Of the high schools.
Seventy-two per cent of the children of
today are said to be sufferers from de-
fective eyesight, generally in the direc-
tion of difficulty in seeing heal objects
clearly. Headache is almost always pres
ent in the cases of the poor little crea-
lures, whose bodies are starved while
their minds are overfed in the scramble
for educational grants.
The ocular headache is often COCK
istent with the anamic headache, espe-
cially in growing girls. Here we find
frontal Or s%upraOrbital pain, due to eve
strain, associated with the vertical pain
felt all over the top of the head, which
is characteristic of bloodlessness. Plenty
of wholesome food, fresh air and out Of
door exercise will help to combat the
anamia, while the practice of looking
at distant objects, and, alas! the use of
appropriate spectacles ma relieve the
headache Of e%yestrain, but reading.
writing and sewing will permanently
damage the sight, so that for the sake
of education and in the struggle for life
the coming race is growing up purblind.

CLARKE HAS HIS SAY.
Governor Of Arkansas Takes
a Hand in the Prize Fight
Arrangements.
Officials Notified to Stop It
and to Call for State Aid
if Necessary.
Warming Sent to Managers and
PugS That the Affair Cam
not Occur.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, Oct. 14.-Goy-
ernorC Clarke, who has been examining
the laws touching the gubernatorial
power to prevent prize fighting, has
outlined his intentions in colnmunica-
lions addressed to the officers at Hot
Springs and the principals III the pro
posed fight. Upon the question Of the
proper mode of proceeding the governor
has counselled with ether lawyers and
his pronunciamento in favor of proven
tative measures is regarded as final.
The governor will hold himself ready to
cooperate with Judge Duffie of the Hot
Springs district to prevent the fight
should it appear that the local authori-
ties fail to impress upon the fighters
and their hackers with sufficient force
the propriely of declaring the fight off.
Backs Up Judge Duhie.
In his letter to Judge Dufie, Cover
nor Clarke says:
Il beg to assure you that you shall
have my prompt and cheerful co-opera-
ton III any effort you may make to sup
press the proposed fight at Hot Springs.
Any order that you may make in this
connection shall not prove ineffective
for want of power to enforce it. l say
this with confidence, because | hold in
the highest respect the fidelity and
courage of Sheriff Houpt. I feel ure
his active assistance can be relied upon,
but 1t is said that even Jupiter some
times mods. If it shall, contrary to my
expectations, become necessary to pro-
coed without the valuable aid of the
sheriff, stand ready to supply all that
may be necessary.
81 agree with you that preventative
proceedings will in this instance meet
the demands of law and Justice"
+ Warns the Puss.
, In addition to notifying President
Dan Stewart of the Florida Athletic
club by mail Of his determination to
prevent the fight, Governor Clarke
telegraphed to Corbett and Fitzsimmons
as follows:
II am advised by press dispatches
that it is your purpose at an early day
to engage in q prize fight in this state.
The purpose of this is to inform you
that such an act is in violation of our
law and an affront to the sentiment of
state pride entertained by our people.
It will therefore not be possible for you
to accomplish any such purpose, and
any attempt upon your part to do 80
will subject you to penalties and to
treatment that I am sure will be highly
distasteful to you

CARLISLE'S AxiOMS SPOILED.
A Republican Newspaper Sees the Secre.
tarY and Goes Him One BETTER.

N' ~ONS III OAC CtN
Mr.. Carlisle in one of his speeches de-
liyered himself of five so called axioms,
which the gold press in the east is cir
culatlng as something profound and I'M
answerable. They are as follows:
l. There is not a free coinage country
IN the world today that is not on a sill
yer basis.
2. There ID not a gold standard coun-
try in the world today that does not use
silver money along with gold.
3. There is not q silver standard
country in the world today that uses any
gold along with silver.
4. There is not a silver standard
country in the world today that has
more than one-third of the circulation
per capita that the United States has.
5. There is not a silver standard
country in the world today where the
laboring man receives fair pay for his
days work.
We will Offset those five with six 9th
1. There is not one free coinage coun-
try in the world today that is not enjoy
ing unexamp1ed prosperity, the only
drawback being a foreign debt contract
ed ON the gold basis.
3. There is not q gold standard coun-
try in the world today the property of
which has not shrunken from IS to go
per cent during the last 81 years; not
in which there are not unexampled
depression, distress and sorrow.
8. There is not q silver standard
country in the world today that has any
need Of gold money except to settle for
eign balances, and there is not a gold
standard country in all the world today
that the bulk Of all the gold is not lock-
ed up in the treasury or in the banks
and the people are suffering from Sound
money asphyxia.
4. There is not a silver standard coun-
try in the world today where there are
any idle deposits lying in the banks, all
the money being in active circulation
and drawing large interest, and the cir
culation per capita in the United States
of real money is just about what it is in
Mexico, nearly all the money of ultimate
redemption being hid away in the vaults
of the treasury and national banks.
5. There is not a silver standard
country in the world today where the
laboring man is not receiving full pay
and more regular work than he ever re-
ceived before. There is not a gold coun-
try in the world today where a vast pro-
portion of the people are not idle and
where wages are above the rates of 1S49,
except where they have been maintained
by the stubborn persistence of the later
unions.
6. There is not a silver standard
country in the world today where the
people are not doing better than ever be-
fore. There is not a gold standard coun.
try where the people r not in more dis.
tress and suffering, more loss and more
apprehension than ever before. Salt

Canvasbaoks Have Moved North.

With the advent of population they aban-
doned their breeding grounds and sought
others in Canada, from which in time they
were driven by similar causes, until now
they nest in almost inaccessible parts OF
Northern British America. This fact has
beed verified by recent explorers who have
visited those wilds. These canvasback
ducks are not molested by white men, of
whom, it may be said, there is none, nor
are their eggs gathered to be sold by the
few natives Whereabouts. for there are no
purchasers within several hundred miles.
The necessity which has forced can
vasback ducks to go SO far north
to nest, while it assures security in
Matching their young, entails an enor-
nous loss among them. A season rarely
occurs that freezing weather does not kill
great numbers of the young before they
are sufficiently fedged to undertake their
southwark flight. From the moment that
canvasback ducks cross the border of the
United States on their way south 1t may
be said that every feeding ground at which
they may halt is occupied by numerous
gunners, intent upon their destruction.
The warfare continues until they reach the
waters of the Gulf of Mexico, where they
are slaughtered until their northward
flight in the spring, when the warfare of
the autumn is renewed and carried on IN
til they arrive again at their breeding
places at the far north. Under these cir
cumstances it is not so surprising that the
supply OF canvasback ducks should be on
the decrease as it is that any should still
remain.-Lippincott's
