HORSE AND MULE MARKET.

The trade in mules was very dull,
few on the market for sale but none
sold. There was some trading in
horses. The demand for nice road OF
coach horses is good and they can be
sold at prices that are good. The
trouble seems to be that there is very
few nice horses in the country. Pat

bought 3 horses at from $75 to 1925.

nice horses paying over 500 each for

PERCENTAGE OF POOR EYES.
Only One Person In Fifteen Has Boil
Eyes In Good Condition.


Eyes In Good Condition.
Only one person in Is has both eyes
in good condition, and in z cases out of
10 one eye, generally the right, is
stronger than the other. 1t is found
that just as people are right or left
handed so they are right or left sight
ed, and while apparently looking with
both eyes they often really use only one.
Ont Of 20 persons whose eyes were test
ed by German doctor two only were
found to be left sighted.
The reason of the greater strength
generally possessed by the right eye is
not altogether understood, but probably
the natural tendency to the greater use
Of the right side of the body has some
thing to do with it, In using weapons,
for instance, mankind has been taught
TO assume for ages attitudes in which
the right hand and side have most exer-
else, and this discipline has undoubted
" had its effect on the eye.
Old sea captains after long use of the
telescope find their right eyes much
stronger than the left-the direct effect
q exercise. This law is confirmed by
the experience Of aurists. If person
who has ears Of equal hearing power
has cause to use one ear more than the
other for long period. the ear brought
into requisition is found to be strength
ened and the ear not used loses its hear
ing IN corresponding degree. Pitts

EVILS or POSTAGE STAMP HABIT.
Though Apparently Harmless II Has
Led To Murder In Frnnce.
'lnghumton RenilhlIcnn.

From the Binghamton Republican.
one of the qucerest eCCentriCities of the
form OF collecting postage stamps. Some
people are unable TO understand what pos
sihle satisfaction there can be in the own
ership OF. say, theoretically complete coli
lection of postage stamps, or one which in-
cludes specimen of every kind of stamp
community. Some people do however, en-
JOY collecting and exchanging the sticky
things and profess TO find mental peace
and recreation in the contemplation of u
particularly rare or ugly, specimen.
The habit has always been supposed to
view, a habit rather to be encouraged. AS
persons busted in collecting postage stamps
are supposed to have no time to spare for
the commission of crime, and moreover.
the habit has been deemed TO be Il fosterer
of mild and amiable qualities,
the attention of alicnists to the postage
stamp habit. The victim was postage
stamp collector, and the two men arrested
for his murder have confessed that they
killed him to obtain possession of his valu-
able collection of postage stamps. They
regard this as Justification for their deed.
This Illustrates the claim of the moral
philosophers that II habit perfectly harm
less per So may, II unrestricted by the rea-
son lead to grave eXccsses.
The French court Of inquiry will rigidly
examin. the accused to see II they are sim
cere in their morbid deluslon that the desire
10 obtain a valuable collection Of postage
stamps as Justification for murder II this
be so 1t should be as n warning to the rea-
sonable sane collectors of postage stamps
in all countries. II may be necessary TO
appoint guardians for collectors who have
an hereditary or an acquired tendency to
feeble mindcdncss.
