CaiTon can Retire.

In a hurst OF confidence, during the
campaign two years ago, Delegate Catron
revealed to some friends that he par
ticuIarly desired to 90 to congress so
that he could appoint his sons John and
Christopher to West Point and Anna
polls, thus proving that his III mp OF
philoprogenil.veness was near rly AS alb
nomnally developed as that other well
known Catron bump bump that is
associated in the average mind with
luxuriant growth OF bristles. Well,
since sons John and Christopher are
both provided with cadetships and alter
nateshi ps and are secure OF life jobs at
government expense ii they are able to
pass the prescribed examinations Papa
Catron's congressional ambition is
doubtless appeased and he faces in
evitable retirement at the end of the 5lth
congress with the serene composnre OF
a satisfied philosopher.-New Mexican.

A story halls from Russia about a
new instrument for making the blind
to see, said to be the invention of DIR.
Noishewski. The principle of the in
strument is the sensitiveness to light
Of selenium and tellurlum, both of
which change their quality as conduc-
tors of electricity with variations in
the light to which they are exposed.
In stating that the blind can "see'' by
this instrument a relative meaning
only is intended. While their actual
vision will be unaffected, they will feel
the various effects of changing light
by its action. 1t is claimed that DR..
Noishewski has enabled a totally blind
mar to find the windows in a room,
and after a little practice to distin-
guish approaching men from approach
ing animals. 1t Is further stated that
the inventor is at work upon improve
ments to his device, which he hopes to
make so efficient that the blind will be
able to tell almost with certainty when
they are approaching Opaque or trans
parent objects.

BARTER FOR WIVES
Countries Where the Practice Is
Still in Vogue.

St1ll IA vogue.
We are all familiar with the esti-
mate of women held by our barbaric
forefathers, an estimate still shared
to-day by many nations which cannot
be accused of GENERALIZATION. There
are still countries in which, if a man
wishes to be legally married, he has
to go out and buy a wife, the price
varying considerably in different
lands. In Uganda n al get a supe-
rior wife for two or three bullocks, or
even for six good sewing needles, or,
perhaps, a box of percussion caps,
while inferior wives can be picked up
In exchange for a coat, and, if one is
Indifferent to health and beauty, for a
pair of shoes. In the Caroline islands
wives are cheap. A father will marry
his daughter if the man gives him a
little fruit OF a small present of fish,
while In Samoa matrimony means
buying the fair one with pigs and ca
noes; among the Fijians the price is

tary it is best for a man to marry be-

has lordly notions of a marriage with
one of h upper ten must be the own

tralia manage their marriages upon a
most equitable principle. IF A wishes
to marry BIS sister he allows him t.
marry his own; or if B happens to be
a widower, then his daughter will do
just as well. One of the most obiec-
tionable forms of gcining a wife is to

uncivilized nations, it's only advantage
being that a man can get a wife on

UnffOrm Game LAVA

The September issue Of the Western Field
and Stream, published at st. Paul, Mimi,
Is noteworthy as presenting a practicable
scheme for the protection of the game of
Inc country, which we are inclined to be-
l.eve offers a complete solution of this much
Sexed problem, and Its senior editor, Mr..
Charles Hallock, who devised and formu-
lated the scheme, has also the fullest en-
dorsement OF all leading naturalists and
sportsmen who have had an opportunity to
examine IT. Briefly; 1t ~cOntenplates divid-
Ing the entire territory of the United States,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, into two
concessions along the line of the fortieth
parallel Of latitude, or near it, for each of
which there shall be uniform laws and uni
form close time, the whole to be niider the
police surveillance Of the National Associa-
tion for the Protection of Game and Fish
through Its multifarious state auxiliaries.
The close time for the Northern concession
Will be from Jan. l to Sept. l, and in the
Southern concession from Feb. l to
Sept. !, during which no shooting shall be
allowed on any kind of game whatever, ex-
cepting that woodcock and shore birds Of
the order limico'ae may be shot in August.
The general close time for all kinds of
inland fishes, recognized as game fishes, to
extend from Oct. l to June /, excepting that
hshes Of the order Salmonidae, including
the tr0uts. may be caught in April and May.
These close seasons conform very nearly
to the distribution, habitat. and breeding
seasons Of the various fauna which are
sought to be protected and where they do
hot, especial exceptions may be made, If
deemed expedient. The laws which are to
dominate will inhere by Legislative enact
ment; uniform in all the states. and CO.
operative throughout. Emergencies and
bodily stress will always stand in plea for
exemption from penalty for violation Of the
laws, when well proven.
Mr.. Hallock presents his arguments In n
very logical and convincing manner, and he
believes that 1t cannot be long before this
s~alutary code will be in successful opera
tion.

An English Actor Tells Sow Ex-

There are certain stage secrets
which the public are never allowed to
know" said an actor lately. $50 jeal-
ously are these guarded that dramatic
tutors absolutely refuse to teach them
to their own pupils, unless such are
bona fide' members of the theatrical
profession. Among these wrinkles are
the methods of preventing conclusion
In stage falls.
"The chief secret, quite unknown to
amateurs, lies in the trick known as
'ihfiating.' i. e., inhaling while falling,
a deep inspiration of air, which enor-
mously decreases the body's weight.
Sarah Bernhardt, Sir Henry Irving
and Mr.. Beeerbohm Tree all initiate;
and no artist could otherwise fall
nightly for hundreds of performances
without serious injury. So essential is
this imitation that in a forthcoming
drama, in which an actor has to fall
from d house top to the solid stage
floor, he will wear under his costume
a complete suit of rubber, inflated with
hydrogen gas, a cOntrivance recently
invented. Few people, by the way,
are aware that hetc are several London
actors who have actually had oppOrtu-
mites Of studying falls from soldiers
shot through the heart or head upon

inent, whose realistic death falls are
the result Of his observations in hot
action in the Soudan and Zululand.

EXCESSIVE USE OF COFFEE.

bAihuness Is Often One of the Final

Do YOU want to be blind? Drink

breakfast, lunch and dinner, and drink

fore you go to bed at night. Drink it
long and strong, and keep it up, and
by II by you will be sightless as the
proverbial bat.
This is what the celebrated physi-
clan, st. Arnaud, says, and there are
new YORK doctors who indOrse the dec
laration.
1t is well known that the Moors are
lnveterate coffee-drinlprs, especially
the merchants, who sit in their bazars
ana drink coffee continually during the
gay. 1t has been noticed that almost
invariably when these coflee-drinkers
feach about the age of forty their eye
sight begins to fail, and by the time
they get to be fifty years old they be-
come blind. One is forcibly impressed
by the number of blind men that are
seen about the streets of the city OF
Fee, the capital of Morocco. 1t is in
Varlably attributed to the excessive use
of coffee. This opinion has been con-
nrmed by the opinion of European ply
sicians living there.
The noted chieftain, Mohammed Ben
Iaed, the most powerful vassal of the
MOORISH sultan, is a striking example
or the effect of the excessive induIg-
ence in h Use of the bean. He is
nfty-two years old. When he was for
ty-four his eyesight began to fail, and
by the time he reached his fiftieth year
he was utterly sightless. He visited
Fez to consult the European physicians
there. They could do nothing for him.
Ihen he was advised to visit Madrid
and consult the famous oculist, Don
Hanuel de Escobedo.
This expert, though he had gained q
wide reputation as a specialist in eve
diseases, was puzzled with this case.

A Hundred Miles an Hour by Elec-
trio Car.

An electrical engineer has been ex-
hibiting in London the model of his
proposed single-rail electric line for
speeds of $50 miles an hour. The rail
is fixed on a V-shaped t~restle, and runs
up into the body of the car, which, as
1t WERE, runs astride on it. The car
runs on twelve bearing wheels and
seats 135 passengers with space for
their baggage. One of the difficulties
met with in schemes for excessive high
speed travel is the tendency of the car
to run off the track. BY running the
rail within the car the lateral tendency
of the train is overcome. But In this
late scheme the great difficulty seems
to be the passenger. What would hap
pen to the passenger when the train
took a sharp curve while going at $50
miles an hour Is not explained.
