MAGNET TO SAVE EYEslGHT.
Powerful instrument Causes Metal
Particles TO Come Forth,

Every man who works where pJrti-
cles of metal fly about is liable to get
one Of them in his eye. Time was
when such an accident meant blindness
in Il or both eyes, but nowadays this
is not SO. There is in the New York
City Eye and Ear Infirmary q magnet
which has repeatedly drawn out of the
human eye such an atom as used to
destroy sight. The magnet is of suffi
cient power to lift sixteen pounds and
it takes 100 volts of electricity froMl
the incandescent light circuit to actuate
it. When an eye which has become tho
unhappy possessor Of a fragment of
iron or steel is brought near this mag
net the presence and location of the
metal is Immediately made manifest by
a bullying Of the coats Of the eyeball.
This is the exact spot located, and
with the attraction continued at full
limit the matter of the extraction of
the particle becomes simple. When a
patient comes to the doctor to be treat
ed for an injury to the eye he is seated
In q chair with a headrest, facing q
good light. The doctor first steadies
the eyeball With the thumb and fore

Don't Go to Brazil.

Brazil is not a profitable place to go
to without capital. Our Consul at Para
utters this warning to Americans, de-
claring that energy and push" are not
enough for emigrants to start with.
He says: mo Americans coming to
Para without the means to maintain
themselves White acquiring the Ian
guage and seeking employment can
have much chance of success.
THAT language is Portuguese, and
Il must know it in order to find en-
ployment. Para has more applicants
than positions. Salaries are small, and
living the most expensive in the world.
NEARLY everything consumed here is
imported, and pays a very high import
duty. Salaries for clerks are from SIS
to $45 q month. The uncertain and
e~yerchanging value of the money has
an injurious effect upon trade. None
suffer more from it than they who work
for wages, for while the cost of living
is made dearer by the financial condi-
ton of the country, salaries undergo
little or no change as the money nuctu-
ates in value. AS to outdoor labor, 10
white American who exposes himself,
as he would be compelled to do, to the
SUMS burning rays, wet season, could
hope to escape the yellow fever.
ut is true, money is plentiful and the
expectation of natural products guar
antees a permanent prosperity to this
part of Brazil; but no one can success
fully deal in rubber unless he has a
large capital. The competition is grolt.
In the rubber field, men without money
can play no part, unless they become
rubber gatherers, In which case they
would have ten chances for death
against life. On some of the rivers, so
per cent. of the natives die who go
there.

Missouri Preachers for London.

There Is a demand from over the
ocean for Missouri preachers. Not long
ago the Rev. Mr.. Briney, Of the Mober-
ly Christian Church, received a call to a
church in London, and now 1t is re-
ported that the Rev. John A. Brooks, of
Memphis, Tenn, but formerly of Mis-
souri,, has been called to the British
metropolis. DR.. Brooks is well known
in Missouri, where he was the first Pro
hibition candidate for Governor In
1884, and great interest would be felt
in his success should he accept the
London pulpit. 1t would seem that the
American style of preaching would be
a marked and agreeable improvement
on the native London article, which Is
generally i%mpregnated with fog and
covered with coal smoke, lacking the
fuency and ~vivacity to which Ameri-
can ch~urch-goers are accustomed. A
Missouri divine in London would
change the atmosphere for a large dis
lance around the sacred desk.-Kansas

tat the bit Of metal is very
minute and not to be readily seen, he
calls an assistant, who focuses the light
upon the eye by mean of a large six
inch reading lens. When he finds that
the particle can be seen nicely he takes
the gouge or the bistorTy, the two
dainty and yet terrorizing instruments
Of the eye specialist, and with the point
of either he makes an insertion beneath
the particle, and in a moment, if the
surgeon be skillful, the metal Is out

.A Chinese nrun shnn

In st. Nicholas there is an article by
Theodore Wores, the artist, entitled
"Ah Gau's New Years Celebration
MI. Wores gives the following descrip-
ton Of a Chinese drugstore in San
Franchises: The interior of this shop
presented a strange and Oriental as
pect. One corner was occupied by the
household shrine. the chief feature of
which was Il highly colored picture Of
some favorite god. The smoke of burn
ing incense, issuing from a brightly
polished brazen vessel, rose from the
altar before this deity and filled the air
with its mysterious fragrance. Beside
the shrine, on a table, was an abundant
supply of re%freshment, consisting Of
cakes, both red and yellow, lichi nuts,
oranges, candied ginger, a number Of
boxes of cigars; and last, but not least,
of bottles containing sam-sheu, the fav-
orite beverage of the Chinese.
All Gau's uncle, dressed in a long
yellow silk blouse, was standing near
this table, busily engaged In doing the
honors to his numerous callers. He
greeted his nephew and his friend with
great cordiality, and invited them to
partake of refreshments; but All eau
modestly contented himself with Il
handful of dried watermelon seeds,
which he dropped into his capacious in
side pocket. One side Of the shop was
taken up by a long counter and drawers
extended all around the room. These
were covered and filled with a great
and miscellaneous collection Of strange
and rare herbs and roots. Deer-horns,
in their velvet stage, We're suspended
from the ceiling. These, after being
sliced as thin as waters, are boiled and
produce what is supposed to be a valua-
bic medicine. Dried lizards, neatly
spread ON thin bamboo sticks, occupied
a basket at one end of the counter.
Dried toads, sharks tails, and MANY
other curious objects used in the prepa-
ration of Chinese medicines, Uttered
the shop from end to end; and a richly
carved and gilded open-work screen,
with two dragons in the center, eX-
tended across tie middle of the ceiling.
The Chinese are very much behind
hand in their knowledge Of medicine.
Their methods, which are based Oh ig-
norance and superstition, are quite as
absurd and primitive as Were those Of
the Europeans of the Middle Ages.

to the title Of the worlds champion

in the art, was one of the best stenog-
rnphersI in the country in his day. An

Mr.. Dement, looks upon stenography
as an art and a science, as we'll as n

and curves since he was Il boy, and
has yet to find the individual who can
dictate faster than he can write. All
public speakers are alike to him in
that he has met one who. as
much as bothered him. The ones who
have tested his powers of speed most
fully We're DR.. Phillips Brooks, the
noted preacher, and Rev. II. Y. Reed,
who used to preach several years ago
in Chicago to a congregation Of pre-
m~ilIennists. The latter talked to Mr..
Dement, once at the rate Of $50 words

Dement, regards as the hardest proDo-
sition he I've encountered. For the
past four years he has been out of the
field as an active reporter, devoting his
time and abilities to the business of
publishing his textbooks on short

ment gives his literary genius a chance
and writes novels. In addition to this
he finds time to exercise his inventive
powers, ard has patented several use

DOG SLEEP-WALKERS.

Jne Canine Struck a Toe Trail and
Was Zone For Three Days.
The story in the Sun Of the Denver
woman who had been sleep-walking in
q way to astonish folks reminded a
group Of sportsmen who were sitting
in a Broadway gun store last Monday
of several instances when dogs, or
cats, had done things almost as re-
markable. One of the stories was told
by a man who had used Il pointer in
hunting quails in the South.
HE was a fine dog. Seth was" the
| sportsman said. "He could wind a
quail further or road one faster than
Il other dog l ever used, and he was
SO steady that one couldn't see him
breathe. He was a great dreamer, ana
used to do all sorts of things. One
night he lay down before the fireplace
on a bear skin l got down in Missouri.
/ was sitting over by a table in a COM
Portable chair reading some, but stop

| more. The wind outside made a fellow
thankful he was in Il house, it whistled
so cold like. The wind quieted down
a little and then Seth began to get IN
easy. He began to kick and whistle
with his half-open lips. Pretty quick
he got up and began to creep across the
floor, foot by foot, going slower n
slower. Then he stopped dead still, In
as pretty a point as ever l saw. l
spoke to him and he woke up. He
looked about him; then with hanging
head he came over to where was sit
ting and put his head onto my lap after
I'd petted him a little"
A man who had hunted deer with
dogs in Minnesota told about q big
white and black spotted hound that he
had used in his sport:
Zone night he said, 1--WE were sit
ting or lounging before a big log fire in
camp up on a lake. ] won't say where,
because there's q lot of game there yet.
Old Rove was lying a little ways from
the fire. snoring as all hounds do, when
h, suddenly jumped to his feet and be-
gan to snuff around. We could see he
was asleep by his eyes. He ran here
and there and then struck the trail
Sam, my partner, had made While
dragging a doe in that afternoon, and
away he went in full cry. When he
was out of sight in the brush beyond
the fire light Bill gave a yell for the
dog to come back-he was afraid the
dog would get lost. But the dog kept
on and was out of hearing beyond a
spur of q mountain in q few minutes.
Three days later the dog had not yet
returned to camp. Bill and l went still
hunting to another lake ten miles
away, intending to stay all night, but
we didn't. We found Rove lying beside
a brook seven miles from camp, half
starved, with ribs showing like ones
fingers. We fed him all the stuff we
mad to eat and then led him to camp.
We tied him UP nights after then"
All the sportsmen had seer dogs rise
to their feet in their sleep or whine and
sGueal. a few had seen dogs lying on
their sides barking as if in full cry after
a fox or rabbit, and one had a half bull
dog that used to have Il fight about one
night in six, doubling up and rolling
oyer by himself, or with a rug in it's
jaws.-New York Sun.
