Only One Person In Fifteen Has Both

Only one paIson in 10 has both owes
in good condition, and III z cases ont Of
10 one eye, generally the right, is
stronger than the other. II Is found
that just as people are right or left

both eyes they often really use only one.
ed by German doctor two only We're
found to be left sighted.
The reason of the greater strength
generally possessed by the right eye is
not altogether understood, hut probably
the natural tendency to the greater use
of he right side Of the body has some
thing TO do with it. In using weapons,
for instance, mankind has been taught
to a ,sume for ages attitudes in which
the right hand and side h1ye most exer-

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 aurlsts. If person
who has ears of equal hearing power
has cause to use one ear more than the
other for a long period, the ear brought

special edition of this paper on or
about April 10, the first anniver-

for a few hours wiped our town off

under consideration the getting out
of such an edition, the purpose OF
which will be to show the wonder
rul and unparalleled growth of our
city from a ruin of ashes to the
magnificent increased proportions
of the present. Our object Is two
fold, first to make a little money
for ourselves and second to do an
act of missionary work for the
town and surrounding country,
the retu ms from which calculated
in dollars and cents will Surpass
any previous effort in the dlrec :
ton aimed at. We realize that
present times are hard, but this we
regard as an inducement to an in
vestment for future reward and OF
this high ground we ask each busi-
ness man to consider the PROPOSE
ton and lend it such encourage
ment as their business judgmen
dictates.

A Story About The Sultan.

Why does the Snltan allow what was
once respectable fleet to rot to
pieces anchored off Stamboul ?
Simply because he considers an
ironclad dangerous instrument in
the hands of any Minister or the
resolute Commander.
1t is true that there are no ships
to guard his coasts, but also there
are none to steam up the Bosphorus
aud throw shell into his place, and
that is the first object to be thought
of.
The incident which led to the order
for the extinction of the Turkish navy
was as follows; A transport was
bringing number of time-expired
men home, when they respectfully
mutinied, and begged their officers to
go below, as they wished to do some
thing which might not be approved Of.
Some non-commissioned officers then
took command and anchored of
Doima Bngtchen, aud after firing o
small salute, began shouting. "Loug
live the Sultani"
This demo nstration caused immedi-
ate confusion at the palnce and vari-
Gus high officials were dispatched to
parley with the mutineers but they
insisted on seeing the Minister, and
when he at last appeared they said
they knew the Sultan had given
the money to pay them, but that they
had not received it, and they would
not bulge until they did.
No arguments were of any avail,
and the money had to be sent for and
distributed after which the mer
weighed anchor with cheer, anG
gave up the ship again.
Tho Sultan, however, reflected tha
what transport had done peaceably {
heavily-armed man-of- war might ds
with evil intent, and calling Hassar
Pasha to him, he declared that b,
wanted no more navy.
In this light-hearted manner a
branch of national defense, which ha.
been the pride of its officers. was
sacrificed to the royal fears for per.
sonal safety, and Hassan Pacha, VIII,
has steadily carried out his master
program, has ever since been il
high favor, and is, to all intents ant
purposes, Minister for life. -Londol

training. BY reason of her earnest
work in the Woman's Republican
League she was appointed Secretary
