According to Chief Bonner, the ball
nozzle which has excited so much inter-
est throughout the country is destined to
work a radical and highly beneficial
change in the system Of fighting fire.
Instead of working at 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 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 man who has given the

The man TO whom Bulgarians look for
a reconciliation with Russia is nj. Glenn
emit, metropolitan of Tirnova. Pre-
vious to 1876 Bulgaria had been under
the Turkish yoke for five centuries, and
the massacre of Bulgarian Christians by
the troops of the sultan was one of the
causes that led Russia to declare war
against Turkey. Turkeys course against
Bulgaria, Montenegro, Roumania and
Servia somewhat resembled her present
course against Armenia. Russia S speedy
victory gained for Servia, Roumania
and Montenegro their absolute independ-
ence, and Bulgaria was also practical
" lost. BY the treaty of Berlin, Bulgaria
was made a tributary principality under
the suzerainty of the sultan with o
Christian government, national militia
and the right to make its own laws. 1t
was also provided that prince of Bull
garia should be elected by the people
and confirmed by the sublime porte
with the consent of the powers.
In 1888 the Bulgarian national assem-
bly, revived the constitution of Tirnova,
and Alexander, the first prince elected
by the people. continued planning for
complete emancipation. This displeased
Russia, and Prince Alexander was kid
mapped by Russian agents in 1886 and
forced to abdicate. Prince Ferdinand
was elected as his successor in 1887, and

STRAIN ON THE EYES.

Children at school Are Inclined to Have
s.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 one this may be known as 1.-THE
academy headache, for if it is Temporal
rily developed in morning spent at
Burlington House it is even more
readily excited and permanently estab-
lished among the children at 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 near objects
clearly. Headache is almost always pres
ent i'll 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 an9mic headache, espe-
cially in growing girls. Here we find
frontal or supraorbital pain, due to eye
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 may relieve the
headache of eyestrain, but reading,
writing and sewing will permanently
damage the sight, SO that for the sake
of education and in the struggle for life

him he brought wife for whom he does not care one iota Alix of Hesse- now Alexandra Feodorovna-is not the woman to the czar's mind. The in- itiated few remember the subdued ex- citement which reigned in the castle at Livadia, when the bride and groom ar rived. Nicholas fumed and fretted; Alix stayed in her room all day, and the czar by turns threatened and inn plored.
 Then the combined efforts of the royal family won the battle. The czarevitch gave his solemn promise to his dying father and the latter passed away only half assured that his son would carry out his pledge.
 Now why all this anxiety?
 Alexander III. well knew that his son could not keep the throne on the basis on which he had kept it. He knew that his successor would have to make those concessions which he had never been able to bring himself to make. He had, in fact, brought Nich- olas up with that idea in view and had found him too promising pupil
 That was why Alix. of Hesse was brought in. A man who could openly express desire to make a Jewish ac- tress his wife must have curb put upon him, said the czar, and that curb was Alix.
 This is the czarina's position in Rus sia to-day. She is the check by which the czar, it is supposed, will be held within bounds. How long it will be before he kicks over the traces is a mat ter of conjecture.
 For Nicholas II. is a man who has studied the world. Some have com pared him to William of Germany, but the comparison is unjust. Nicholas is man of quiet thought, of slow action, but of generous impulses; and l may here state that all the future endeavors of the Russian liberals will be concentrated not upon him, but upon his wife!
 A few days ago the emperor, as was his custom before his accession, started out for walk through the city. The new empress, hearing of his proposed jaunt, sent for him in hot haste and begged him not to risk his life in such reckless fashion. She had heard sin ister rumors; she was afraid of those Russians.
 Madam" the emperor cried out, "who has put such ideas into your head?"
 The empress did not care to tell at first. It was one of the spies of the third, she finally admitted.
 ''I think" the emperor exclaimed. 'that the third section imagines plots just to keep its hand in" And he took his walk and came back alive.

 There are three things the Russian people can do: They can love, wait and fight. If they could not love, Russia would to-day be in state of anarchy, for neither czar nor dictator could then keep sway over them. If they could not wait, there would be worse than anarchy, for they would have a good deal to wait for; and if they could not fight, the Russian empire would long since have gone down among the ruins of dead monarchics.
 Whom is it that the Russian-the real, sure-enough Russian, of whom the outside world knows so lament ably little-whom it is he loves, what does he wait for, whom does he fight for?
 Some of those all-knowing foreigners who have come to Russia for three months, and joined our demi-monde in its revels and our lesser officials in their state receptions, have hied them back to their own shores and gone into ecstasies over the admirable submis- sion of the Russian people-the masses ito the authorities-the government the system!"
 The Russian moujik submit to sys- tenn! What does the moujik know about system? As well talk to your mule about calculus
 The Russian man of the people knows nothing of systems or governments. To him the word "Privitelstvo"-exec- utive department-is hateful sound, when he recognizes it. Above all things, the Russian man of the people does not submit he loves and waits. When he gets tired of doing these two things he does the third-he fights.
 It took Catherine half lifetime to find out these facts. It took Alexander II. fifty years, and Alexander l.. never found it out at all. But Peter the Great and Nicholas I. found it out before they ascended their thrones, and for this reason these two men, so different in character, are yet one in the memory of the Russian man of the people.
 The pressing question of to-day is: "What does Nicholas II. understand of derstanding influence his actions in the near futurc?
 The day before tho wedding of Nich- olas II. with .tcAlix of Hesse, two men were walking along the Neva em- bapkmeat, conversing in low tones. sssssewny do you hold out against dem ~onstration tomorrow" one asked of the other.

These two men are still waiting.
 What for?
 For proof of their theory.
 And this is where allsRussia is to-day and is liable to remain for some time to come.
 What, then, does Russia expect?
 Nicholas H. has been called "The Stupid" so often that people are at last beginning to ask themselves the reason for it. As is usually the case, they are astonished to find no explanation handy.
 Perhaps the only excuse for calling Nicholas II. "The Stupid" Is the one that he has allowed himself to. be so called. For of the entire line of the Romanoffs he, least of all, has de- served such an unenviable title. For Nicholas II. is by no means the ignora- mus people think him. If he were he would not this day be upon the imperi- al throne of all the Russias. Were it really thought by those who have means of knowing that Nicholas H. is other than man of far-seeing wisdom and generous impulses, the day of his wedding would not have passed with out demonstration. People whor member March 1, 1881, know what demonstration" means in Russia.
 Nicholos "has hard row to hoe." And the reason for this is that he has not yet earned his throne at the hands of the Russian people. He has done nothing as yet to win their love. lt is no compliment to his sagacity to say that he recognizes the fact that he must do so very soon or suffer the con. sequences-which are serious in Russia. In this respect he is much less forum ate than his father, Alexander III. The late czar had an advantage over his son in the fact that he ascended his throne while it was yet red with the blood of his father, and with him he carried the sympathy of the generous Russian people. Hence it was not nee essary for Alexander III. to do much to make firm his hold upon his sceptcr.
 But with Nicholas II. it is different He has come to the throne after his fathers long and tedious illness. No violent death has shocked the people into pity for him. Instead of streams of tears, q few well-lcarned speeches greeted the body of the dead emperor during its passage across the country and at the dinner given to the poor Of St. Petersburg, one moujik was overheard telling another that it would not be bad idea to have deaths, ac- sessions and weddings of emperors every day, if all the extras came with them. The fact that both peasants were arrested and got sixty lashes apiece does not destroy the significance of the matter. To one who recalls the tears, curses and lamentations of s1, 's2 and 'S3 this occurrence is of more than passing interest.
 Late ono afternoon while Alexander was lying on his deathbed, Nicholas came up and busted himself at nearby table. The czar looked at him intently for few moments and then, motion ing to his priest, said in low tone:
 He is a handsome chap, is he not? But for the good of the dynasty it were better If he were not and I therel"
 Under such circumstances did Nich- Qlas come to tho throne; and with

 I haven't been on the hunt for the meanest man living, nor do believe have found him, but have found many who would rank pretty well up in the catalogue.
 Men differ in meanness as much as they differ in age, size and complexion. A mean man. generally considered, is man who has preponderance of mean traits. A fellow is esteemed a good fellow if he has preponderance of good traits. A totally depraved man, ,sterly without any good traits, can .not be found, l dare say, this side of perdition. A perfectly holy man can- not be found between the gates of ; heaven and the gates of hell. Men grade up in goodness or down in bad ness. The better we are the closer to e4the gates of pearl we, are; the meaner ; we are the closer the gates of hell. D In the estimation of some it is mean man who will drink whisky, and there ]. by rob his family of the comforts of ], life and make himself personally dis agreeable to wife and children. In the - estimation of some man who will not pay his debts is a very mean man. There are two classes of debtors-men who can pay and won't; men who [ would pay, but can't. There is no 5 comparison in the character of the two men. A man who willfully neglects a : debt is contemptible, dirty dog, un- 5 worthy of the confidence of any man. 5 A man who would pay and is striving E hard to pay deserves the respect and . confidence of all men.
 A man who occupies place of trust : and betrays that trust and robs cor poration or firm or individual who has ] placed confidence in him is very mean man. His friends may apologize for ! him and say he didn't mean to do it, or that his friends got him into it, but if he willingly and willfully and knowing ly robs or defrauds his benefactor each state in this union has provided peni- tentiary for just such characters, and the apologies we make for them but multiply their number over our land.
 think saw a statement the other day that the banks in New York city alone in the last few years had been robbed of something like twenty mil lions of dollars by dishonest, trusted officials. One such individual as this came very near swamping every bank in one of our larger southern cities more than a year ago. He is now at- tending school at Sing Sing, New York.
 But how much meaner is man like that than these old money sharks loan ing their money at exorbitant per cent. to every poor fellow who has tract of land or house and lot, then bides his time until opportunity affords and he gobbles up the last dollars worth of nPperty owned by the poor unfortu-
