CAUSE OF SEASlCkNESS.

One That Is Unknown to Most Travellers
 When so many people are travelling about on the water, it may be interest ing to gather uL whatever opinions may be floating about as to the causes of seasickness, in order that from the many accounts one may determine per chance what remedy is most likely to prove available.
 It is suggested by physician who has made the subject one of special study, that the effect of the light, the water and the motion on the eyes may account for many cases of sea- sickness. Patients whose eyes habitu- ally trouble them are said to suffer more severely, and various affections of the optic nerve seem to accompany some of the worst seasick cases. It has been said that persons who are about to go on the water should pro- vide themselves with dark spectacles, and wear them for little while, also that they carefully avoid looking at the water until they are accustomed to the motion of the ship. Some peo- pie entirely avoid seasickness by what they call getting the rhythm of the vessel. Imaginative people fancy that ship has keynote and moves in strictly regular time. To find this and put the mind in direct action with it will, it Is claimed, not only prevent sickness, but will furnish the most de- lightful and novel set of sensations.
 One veteran traveller always selects some song with positive accent. This she gets in her mind, and either huns it very softly or mentally keeps the time and tone until entirely accus. toned to her surroundings Of course, there are persons who become i'll on cars, and sometimes by rapid riding in carriage. A sick headache is not infrequent sequence of long drives or very rapid horseback riding. These people have a constitutional weak ness that is not to be overcome by any ordinhry means. The accent and keynote idea, however, is not only in teresting but suggestive, and it would be well worth the attention of those who suffer from this unfortunate malady to make some experiments al the first opportunity.-N. Y. Ledger.

THE EARLY GERMANS.
Some Strange Laws on the Treatment .
 tho Women.

tho Women.
 The Germans were fond of sdorninP their persons as we'll as their houses. The women wore necklaces, bracelets, rings and charms or amulets of gold, silver, brass or amber. They had buck els and clasps for their capes. They adorned their clothing with rude em. broidery. The men, at least. and pos sibly the women, colored their hair red, and Pliny speaks of a hair dye much used at Rome, which was im- ported from Germany.
 In personal appearance the German women resembled their husbands, seeming. as Tacitus remarks. to belong all to the same family. They were nearly seven feet tall, with fair skins, ruddy cheeks, bright blue or keengray eyes, and long fair hair upon which they bestowed the greatest care. So tall were the Germans that Sidonius Appollinaris, Latin poet, plaint'vely relates that "being in Gaul, and find. ing the people so tall, it was impossi- ble for him to address verses of six feet to patrons who were seven feet high. !" In maidenhood, the hair of a maiden was allowed to flow freely over her | shoulders; not until her wedding day could it be bound up. Girls 'in their hair" meant the same as girls in their teens" with us. Married women could braid and pin up their hair and adorn it with garlands. Long hair was 8 mark of the free woman. Anyone who should cut it off was punished with death. Heavy fines were i'm posed upon one who should dis arrange woman's coiffure or ''obbo" so that it came down. or upon one who should touch a maiden's braids. Women sometimes took oaths by placing their hands upon their braids of hair. German law prohibited familiarities of any sort, between men and women. The dress of wom- an left her neck and arms bare. A heavy fine was imposed upon anyone who should touch her hand, or her arm below the elbow, still heavier if he touched the upper arm, and heavi- est of all if he touched her neck.- Louis Prosser Bates, in Chautauquan.

Then and Now,

There was a time when he who would
keep Informed of the progress of knowledge,
the record of discovery and invention, and
the currents of human thought, could and
indeed must rely Chiefly if not wholly upon
books. That day has passed. Books we
must still read, the capitalization and
permanent embodiment of human thought
and knowledge. Blu, to-day it is the news
paper, the magazine, the periodical review,
upon which we must chiefly depend if we
would follow closely the intellectual move
nent Of the day. And now a difficulty
has arisen. This newspaper and periodical
literature has become SO mu1titudinous and
bulky as to be heavy burden to the busy
man woman, while even the person who
has leisure and inclination to read widely
is often unable to get access to the current
publications. Especially IN the smaller
cities, villages, and rural districts is the
lack of such opportunity felt. 1t is felt by
the clergyman, the teacher, the lawyer, the
physician, the merchant, the artisan, the
farmer and the cultured and thoughtful
practical literary question is: With all
these and many other classes of persons the
great practical literary question is: How
can l best supplement my indispensable
home paper? 1t was to answer this ques-
and meet this demand that PUBLIC OPIN
ION (now published in New York City,
founded nine years ago. 1t selects the
best, condenses it to the last degree, and
serves it in convenient and attractive form.

Let 1t be Done at Once.

Should the decision of the SUI
preme Court in the suit of the par
ish VS.. Numa Schayot render null
and void the annexation of the adj
ditions made in 1884, it is to be
earnestly hoped that there will soon
be found some law to re-annex the
same territory. No time should be
lost if such a thing is possible.
This matter should be settled at
once. and settled right. 1t will not
do to let matters remain in the
present state of uncertainty. If
there is one privilege an American
citizen will insist upon having, 1t is
that Of being able to say where he is
living. AS it stands now some Of
our citizens are SO bewildered that
they will not venture to assert with
any degree Of positiveness that they
are living on the Louisiana SIDE of
the Texas line. Let some remedial
step be taken as soon as practic-
able.

are charged with breaking in the store of P.

but it appears tie star of the band is the me-
gro, Bob. Rogers who has fled to parts un-
known. King, who is mentioned above, is
not exactly minister but The Gazette is
informed that he is ministerially inclined and
at times he is entrusted with the
spiritual welfare Of the colored poIou-
lation of Breaux Bridge. He lives in
Lafayette but pays regular visits to his flock
on the Tcche whenever their morals need
looking after. His downfall will be learnt
with sorrow by his congregation in Brcaux
Bridge who will rc doubt pray for his re-
demption.

ranks of the unknown in the great valley
of shadow. She died smiling, awaiting
ascent to her heavenly throne, where a
crown will adorn her head, as just reward
for her many virtues. To the bereaved
husband and children sympathics are

horrible death is reported near the
depot last Wednesday afternoon
just when the east-bound passenger
train pulled in. A hobo who was
stealing ride on the blind baggage
attempted to jump off and fell under
the wheels of the train which for
tunately had already put on
the air brakes. Witnesses to the
occurrence state that the man was
dragged under a car several feet and
it is incomprehensible to them how
he was not Crushed by the wheels.
The man was slightly bruised on
the hands and face. He was SUBJ
sequently interviewed by the town
marshal who upon being told that
he was looking for restaurant,
furnished him with suite of rooms
in Billaud's Municipal Bastille
where he was provided with the
regulation menu.
