PERCENTAGE OF POOR EYES.

Eyes In Good Condition.
Only one person in Is has both eyes
in good condition, and in 7 cases out OF
10 one eye, generally the right, is
stronger than the other. It 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.
Out 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 it's effect Oh the eye.
Old sea captains after long use Of the
telescope find their right eyes much
stronger than the left-the direct effect
Of exercise. This law is confirmed by
the experience Of aurists. If a person
who has ears of equal hearing power
has cause to use one ear moro than the
other for long period, the ear brought
into requisition is found to be strength
ened and the ear not used loses it's hear
ing i'll a corresponding degree.

He Wanted a Plumber.

"Man you sent to fix that range OF
our'n a poet?" asked a rural looking
customer of the proprietor Of down
town plumbing establishment.
"I-I-really, I don't know" re.
sponded the startled proprietor, with a
look Of sober Enquiry.
g 'Tain't as I got anything particular
agin poets," explained the customer
suavely as he took a chair and cleared
his throat, ''but I've hearn tell Of folks
missin their vocations-them as ought
to be hoein petaters and huskin corn

How Fast the Earth Moves.

Every body knows that the earth makes
one complete revolution on it's axis once
in each "a hours. But few, however,
have any idea Of the high rate of speed
at which such an immense ball must
turn in order to accomplish the feat Of
making one revolution in a day and a
night. A graphic idea Of the terrific
pace which the old earth keeps up year
after year may be had by comparing its
speed to that of cannon ball fred from
a modern high pressure gun. The high
est velocity ever attained by such mis-
sile has been estimated at l, 626 feet per
second, which is equal to mile in
3 80 seconds. The earth, in making
one complete revolution in the short
space Of "a hours, must turn with a
velocity almost exactly equal to that Of
the cannon ball. In short, it's rate of
speed at the equator is exactly l ,507
feet per second. This is equal to a mile
every 6-10 seconds, II miles min

Why Everybody Smiled.

An amusing scene was witnessed by
many pedestrians one day at the corner
Of Thirty seventh street and Broadway.
A fence, about 80 feet high, covered
with theatrical Autographs, incloses a
lot on that corner, where the founda-
lions Of q new building are being laid.
1t was the noon hour, and six brawny
sons Of Erin were seated Oh a slightly
raised platform, resting against the
fence. They were eating their luncheon
and were joking and laughing to their
hearts content. Those who stopped to
look at the group could not withhold a
smile, for directly above this jolly group
of Irishmen, in bold, lurid letters,
were the words "The Gay Parisians -
Here indeed was pleasant satire, the
result Of accident. No wonder the work
ingmen wondered why people smiled at
them so much.-New York Herald.

ODD FACTS ABOUT MADAGASCAR.

The Policemen Sleep on Their Beats-The
Curfew IL Of Ancient Use. I'D,
Probably the sleepiest policemen in
the world are those Of Madagascar. At
Antananarivo, the capital, there is lit
tie evidence of the force by day, for its
members are all peacefully wrapped in
slumber. At night, too, the guardian Of
property is seldom to be seen, and that
he is actually guarding is only to be
told by the half hourly cry that is sent
up to police post No. 1 alongside the
royal palace.
"Watchman, what of the night?'
"We are wide awake, keeping a sharp
lookout, and ALPS well.''
Antananarivo has no lamps and no
streets. 1t is simply great collection
of houses tumbled together. There is a
big force of night police, known as the
"watch. " The men gather themselves
together into groups, and choosing snug
corners, wrapping themselves in straw
mats, they drop into long and profound
slumber. One member Of each group re-
mains awake to respond to the half
hourly call from the palace. AS he calls
back, the others, half awake, mechan-
ically shout back the response. 1t makes
little difference, however, that the police
continually sleep, for robbery is rare.
Curfew, though popularity supposed
to be purely an early English and Nor
man French custom, has been estab-
lished in Madagascar for centuries. In
every town and village between 9 and
10 the watchmen go around shouting out
in the Malagasy dialect, Lights out !"
and they see that all is in darkness in
every house. After these hours no one
is allowed to travel around without q
special pass.
There is no criminal code Of any &C.
count, and when man is caught in the
act of stealing the populace is apt to
ignore the police and surround him and
stone him to death. The Madagascans
have no 'tswear Words in their Ian
guage, and when their feelings are over
wrought against a man the only thing
they can do is to execute summary
vengeance on him.-New York World.

THE M,NuET DANCER.

So, my enchantress In the Powered brocade,
You call an elder fashion to your aid.
Step forth from Gainsborough's canvas and
advance.
A powdered Galatea, to the dance.
About you clings faded, cid world air.
As though the link boys crowded round your
chair,
AS though the Macaronis thronged the Mall,
And the French horns were sounding at Vaux-
hall.
They tread the stately measure to its close,
The silver buckles and the silken hose,
Ladies and exquisites, that bend and sway,
Brilliant as peoples on an August day.
You dance the minuet, and we admire,
We billiards in our black and white attire,
Whose russell idyl seems mere burlesque,
Set in a frame SO far less picturesque.
Yet I take heart; for Love, the coatless rogue,
Can scarcely heed what raiment be In vogue,
Since in good sooth his negligence is known
As something scandalous anent his own.
And so he whispers, Eyes were bright and
brown g. +
Long ere the powder tax dismayed the town.
And faithful shepherds still shall babb1e on,
Although the rapiers and the frills be gone.

the outside world, not even their par
ents or relations, thus for days, weeks
and even months, until the authorities
deem fit to remove the restrictions i'm
posed on them. What is the charge
against them? Nobody knows, but
the government will surely find some
indictment by the proceedings already
mentioned. The news caused such
tremndous sensation in the city that
the local press, gagged as 1t is, has
given expression, in a very timid and
cautious manner, to its disapproval Of
the measure,
Whilst this is occurring in the cities,
there comes from the country so many
tales of misery, hunger and bloodshed
that the pen quivers and falters, giving
the horrible details-stories of famish-
ed people, especially women and child
rem, held back by the troops around
their camp kettles, preventing them
from taking their scanty rations; news
of rebel hospitals captured almost dali
ly, by the Spanish troops, which Is Of
ficially reported in the most glowing
terms, and without the least SEM
blance of shame at the dastardly deed,
as a glorious victory over the rebels;
stories of butcheries committed by
the Melguisos, Fondevielas, Molinas,
on peaceful, law-abiding citizens, many
of them reported, but others in obliv-
ion for lack of proper details. Mo-
lina's last deed was the killing of Is Ia
borers and four women, at the sugar
estate Las Canas," near Alfonso, Ma
tanzas. Peasant huts, farm houses,
and sugar estates have been burned
by the rebels or the Spanish troops.
The great sugar estates "Olayita," be-
longing to a Frenchman, "Batalla,"
owend by Travio, a rebel chief; Jesus
Maria, "Moralito," and others to nu-
merous to mention, were burned by the
Spaniards.
When all these tales are heard or
read a certain indignation is felt that
the attention of all the civilized world
should be conferred on the Cretan and
Armenian atrocities, and that Cuba,
a civilized and Christian country,
should be left to its fate, with nobody
to lend her a helping hand to finish
this terrible state of things.
All during this time what is General
Weyler doing? Practically nothing,
from military standpoint. The in
surgents in full possession of the
fields are organizing, drilling their for

pei, as he formerly did, when they tried
to dislodge him from the Carcara il
cara and Rubi hills. Nevertheless, it
cannot be said that Weyler remains
idle, for he is daily occupied in sign
ing death sentences on the criminals
and incendiaries" which are constant
ly being shot, publicly, in the pits of
the Cuban fortress in Matanzas and
elsewhere; issuing DEGREES forcing the
circulation of paper money, which is
reluctantly accepted and is expected
will be fatty refused in the near future
thus originating a conflict in our mon
ey market, which will be of serious con-
sequences; giving out orders to convert
our great founding asylum-a private
charitable institution-into a military
hospital, and throwing out the poor lit
tie waits from their comfortable quar-
tiers into the closed walls Of an I'M
healthy convent; threatening to give
out an edict prohibiting the next sugar
crop, complying, it would seem, with
Gomez's orders on the subject, but the
threat had such a tremendous effect
on the local Spaniards, that he had not
had the courage to issue it yet.

Bolondron, the other day, they carried

All the garrison of the town of San

and after laying the great part of the
town to ashes, carried away all the
arms, munition and horses of the said
garrison. The sound of the fighting
was heard in Havana and caused great
