Eyes and Glasses.

Said a well-known optician: "You
have no idea how many people come
in here daily who want cheap glasses.
Affections of the eyes, which require
the incest and most accurate ad-
justment to correct, and which can
not be done without good glasses,
are deemed Ct less moment than
other so-called human necessities"
While he was speaking a man
entered who purchased a pair of
spectacles for twenty-five cents.
''There is an example," continued
the optician. "That mans sight
will probably become worse. But
there's a large demand for cheap
glasses, and we are forced to supply
that demand. "-Cincinnati Tribune.

A RELIC OF BAREARlSM.
Belief in Remedial Qualities Of Part

VI us ts0itioh oSofs
That belief the Chinese have in
the remedial qualities of substances
forming a part Of the human body
seems to be irradicable, says the
New York Times. Thinking that
Europeans still held the same silly
ideas led as muck as anything else
to the Tien-Tsin massacres of
twenty-five years ago. Prehistoric
man drank from a human skull, be-
lieving that the uncanny goblet had
a certain potency.
Not so long ago the skull of a
suicide was used in Caithness as a
drinking-cup for the cure of
epilepsy. Cases have been cited
where superstitious people, within
the last thirty years, have dug up
bodies SO as to possess themselves of
skulls for the same purpose. AS
late as 1913 in the official pharma-
copnia of the London College of
Physicians mention is made of the
skull ''of a man who had died a
violent death" For centuries in the
past, for the manufacture of certain
quack nostrums, notably an ONT
ment, ground skulls were used. The
medical books Of Nuremberg of two
hundred years ago also cite mumia-
or the embalmed flesh of mummies
las a sovereign cure for certain
diseases. TIE Egyptian mummy was
q specific for n malady, the Ten.
eriffe mummy for another.
Excluding all the other strange
substances employed In early medi,
cine, there Is a trace of cannibalisu
in the use Of these mummied sub
stances. 1t has been shown thai
cannibalism does not arise In al
cases from hunger, but that to eot
human flesh is a religious rite ant
favored by the gods. In some re
mote manner 1t has something to dc
with sacrifice. Describing super
stitions the fact is cited that to-day
Irish peasants use skulls to holt
water in under the belief that tn,
water thus becomes curative.

An Interesting Bandit.

manuel Garcia was a curious char
acter," said a Cuban gentleman in
speaking of the reported death of that
revolutionist. "He was more like a
character in a novel than a man living
in the nineteenth century. His home
was the mountains and he lee a regular
bandits life, every o and then hold
ing-up Spaniards on the road or carry
ing off one of them and holding him
for ransom He would write to a
Spanish planter, send me five thousand
dollars or I shall burn your house,
and If the money was not forthcoming
he would carry his threat into execu.
ton. He would even write to govern
mental officials, signing himself: King
of the Mountains and demanding trib-
ute. He never preyed on the native
Cubans, only on the spaniards. and
gave most of his money to the revolu.
tionary party to purchase arms"

e REFORM.
The Man Who Tried 1t and the wsy
It. Worked. r

Col. Henry Watterson, who is at
present lecturing in the larger cities,
tells a story of an old compositor,
whose life had been given up to hard
work and the following of eccentric
Ideas, one of which was that the
human race slept too much. He had
several theories to advance in sup
port of his idea, one of them being 20
cut down the usual number of sleep
ing hours by graduation and finally
arrive at q state where, by practice,
one would be satisfied with a much
smaller amount of sleep than one was
getting.
To show his confidence in his
theory he began to practice the new
idea as follows: He usually slept
nine hours. He explained that
he would cut this down a half
hour for each week that passed
until he had reduced his number Of
sleeping hours to two, which he
claimed was all that was needed by
anyone.
The time went by and the old fell
low had Kept to his rule laid down
and finally reached the two-hour
time.
He went along for several weeks
sleeping but two hours daily, devot-
ing the time gained in reading and
advocating his idea. While there
was a noticeable decrease in his
weight, he seemed to stand it very
we'll.
Then he began to talk Of further
reducing the time, and, when en-
thusiastic, talked of the possibility
of one doing without sleep entirely.
He set type and was an old hand
on the paper. One morning, about
three weeks after he had reached his
low sleeping mark, the compositor
at the case next to his noticed the
old mar had dropped his h cad upon
his arms that were folded over the
case. It was neal quitting time.
All the forms were up and the old
chap was not disturbed. He had
gone to sleep. The office was soon
deserted with the exception of the
janitor and the sleeper. The l~anitor
was instructed not to bother him.
The next day when the first mar
arrived he was still sleeping as they
had left him and snoring so hard
that he Jared the type in the case
on which he rested.
Some one told his wife where he
was and she concluded to let him
sleep.
He slept on in thai position for
twenty hours. Then they carried
him to a bed at home, still sleeping.
He slept for thirty-two hours, and
when he woke up he had for
gotten how to set type and had to
learn to read again, although his
memory was good in other respects.
Col. Watterson uses the story as a
smile for a political situation, which
he enlarges upon in select circles

NEWSPAPER C%LIPPiNos.
They Furnish the Excuse for a NovUl
Enterprise


Enterprise
There is q peculiar industry In
Gotham which has grown to aston
fishing proportions. This is the
business Of furnishing newspaper
clippings to individuals, firms and
corporations. There are half Q
dozen of these in New
York, which supply customers, not
only in the. United States, but in all
parts of the world. One of these
newspaper clipping bureaus received
an order the other day from the
Hawaiian government to send Presi-
dent Dole all the notices, editorials,
cartoons and other published matter
regarding Hawaii, its government
and It's affairs. This is one of the
largest orders ever received by a
clipping bureau, and it will require
the labor ofhalf a dozen bright young
women to Gull the clippings from the
newspapers to fill this order. Every
prominent author, actor, politician
and professional man is now a sub
scriber to one or moreo of the clipping
bureaus, and a busy nan finds the
system very convenient, for he Is
enabled, as it were, to read his news
papers by proxy.
The manager Of q New York clip
ping bureau, in speaking of the Pc
culiarities of his business, said:
"Many of our customers are folks
with fads and hobbies. A man sent
us an order recently for all items
about two-headed calves, three
legged chickens and other mon
strosities. A leading politician
ordered one hundred Memorial day
addresses, from which he could COM
pile a Fourth of July Grafton which
be had engaged to deliver. Society
bellies are beginning to make scrap
books of their newspaper notices,
and the custom will doubtless be-
come q regular social fad In time.
The wives of public men are among
the best patrons of the clipping
bureaus. About the strangest order
we have is that of a dealer in tomb
stones and monuments. He takes all
the death notices."-N. Y. CONNER

Afraid Of Lightning.

The Greeks were so much afraid
Of lightning that they worshiped it.
They endeavored to avert its malig-
nant influence by Kissing and
whistling at 1t. In places which
had suffered by it affairs were
erected, and oblations made to
avert the anger of the gods, after
which no one dared to touch or ap-
proach them.

BY A SINGLE VOTE.
That Is the Way IoelI Will Prob
ably Win.

Judge JamiSon will file his order in
the Foell- Alexander case tomorrow
morning. The evidence was concluded
at noon yesterday. The only important
testimony brought out was that of
Mareio Crislak, a Sixth ward voter who
said that he wanted to vote for Alex
ander. but was refused because the
record showed that his name had been
checked off.
Attorney Hawley was very brief in
his closing argument. The main fact
was that it was shown in the Sixth pre-
cinct that number of voters had been
allowed to vote their ballots, which had
been fixed by others, without swearing
as to their ability 10 read or write. The
testimony showed that about forty of
these votes had been cast for Foell and
thirty for Alexander. Mr.. Penny
argued that if the court cast out
any votes from the Sixth precinct
without any direct testimony as to the
exact number Of votes so admitted they
should be cast out in proportion to the
relative vote each candidate received.
Judge JamiSOn thought it the duty of
the court to deduct that number from
each candidates vote, if he could arrive
at a decision as to the number of illegal
votes cast. Hahn & Bawley estimate
that their candidate. Alexander, is
elected by about nine votes. If there is
no change in the Sixth precinct, FoeIl
will win by one vote, the result being
Alexander 1892 and F0ell 1903.
