Human Eyes Are Often Inhabited by
Large Numbers Of Living Creatures.
The water contained in a we'll de-
veloped, well formed eye in which the
sight is not impaired, more especially
where person is farsighted. presents
many curious Phenomena. Looking
through an open window in daylight
upon hazy atmosphere or upon fog
such as is seen in any city, or looking
to the north upon gray atmosphere,
one will see, if conditions are as above,
strange disks fitting and jumping about
in the eye water. 1t has been my privi-
lege to watch these organisms for sew
eral years, fitting about in the eye
water, jumping toward each other again
in strife and combat in the which the
water would become comparatively
clear of amebiform organisms, only 10
be again full of micrococci and the com
bats as above.
The various shapes of these animal
cule are surprising Some are attenu-
ated, with fine filaments. Again others
are like wee bits of fine porcelain, with
little projections,I reminding one of
turtles hopping about. Again, others
present the appearance Of cyclops and
daphne.
How these organisms get into the eye
water is a mystery-perhaps in the
water we drink or foods We eat, either
or both. The fact that the eye water is
inhabited, like all other bodies of water,
is truth that can be proved positively,
beyond peradventure, by any oculist
when he may extract adiseased eye
and place the fluid under the glass.
May not the accumulation of these
organisms in the eye water their rapid
growth and the survival tf the fittest
or strongest be the cause of much blind
ness, wherein may be casts! coagulation
of the eye water, so called paralysis Of
the optic nerve, cataracts and other
forms of disease?
May not numerous headaches and
other pains be caused by tie overac-
emulation or growth of these minute
organisms, in which they stop the cir
culation of the active principle Of life
in the arterial circulation or the ncrv.
Gus forces? The same organisms are seen
when looking upon drawing Spapor. -

Senator Pettus. Prophecy.

This is story that ~ Albanian
tells about Senator Pettus and ex-Sena-.
tor Pugh: During Mr.. Oieveland's
first administration Mr.. Pet.ns was
anxious to fill the place on the supreme
court bench to which Senator Lamar
was afterward appointed. Hs applied
to his friend Senator Pugh, and the
latter made an earnest and sincere ap-
peal for the appointment of Mr.. Petius.
The president inquired as to the age Of
Pettus, and when informed said he was
too old. Senator Pugh communicated
this fact to Pettus, and also suggested
to another eminent but younger lawyer
in his state TO apply for the place, as it
was settled fact that a southern man
would surely succeed to the vacancy.
Senator Pettus heard of Senator Pugh S
letter to the other friend, and it made
him mad. Coming to Washington, he
called on Pugh and asked him why ne
did not stand out for him. Pugli ex-
planned that Mr.. Cleveland would not
alter his determination about not APP.
pointing a man of Pettus' age, bat this
did not satisfy Pettus Before leaving
Pugh Pettus said, We'll, ! may be too
old to sit on the supreme bench of the
land, but am not too old to sit in the
senate, and your seat will just about fit
me. Pettus was as good as a prophet.
He succeeded Senator Pugh on the 4th
of March last, and if am not mistaken
occupies the identical seat which PUgh
occupied during a former term. Sena-
tor Pugh was ~ last December. Sena-
tor Pettus is &C. - Washington Post.

A LUCKY FIND.
Tale of Valuable Watch That Was Lest
on an Elevated Railroad.

Tale OF NnluaDle Natcn mat was Aost
on IN Elevated Railroad.
"This watch in itself is valuable
one, said a New York business man as
he took the timepiece from the peculiar
looking fob in which he carries it, but
it had an adventure last week that gives
it still greater value to me. The fob
is an heirloom. and, as you may see,
would be apt to attract attention any
where.
"One afternoon last week was 60
ing up town on crowded train ON the
Sixth avenue elevated. The train was
so crowded that I was compelled to
stand on car platform close to the
brake wheel. AS the train was round
ing the curve out of West Third street l
took my watch from my pocket, re-
moved it from the fob, and, after not
ing the time, showed it back into the
fob and returned it, as-I thought, to
the pocket. Instead Of getting it into
the pocket, however, it was on the out
side, and as I let it go it fell The
guard saw it as it fell and reached out
his foot to save it from going between
the platforms, but failed, and down it
went.
81 got off the train at Eighth street
and ran back as fast as ! could to the
spot where the watch had dropped, hav-
ing, may of course say, not the
slightest hope that the watch would be
anywhere to be seen. When reached
the place, my heart almost jumped out
of my throat, for there in the street,
conspicuous among its surroundings,
lay the fob. picked it up. twas emp
ty. No watch could ! find anywhere.
"'Some one has found it, was natu-
rally my conclusion, and that was the
last ever expected to hear or see CT it.
"But as walked back toward the
Eighth street station got to thinking
about the matter differently. If any one
had found the watch, why should he
have left the fob? The more thought
of it the more made up my mind that
the watch hadn't been found. board

ficer in charge told me that after the
commission hours were over for the day
the track walkers would start from
Fifty-ninth street down the line, max
ing their regular inspection of the rails
and roadway, and he would instruct
them to keep an eye out for the lost
watch.
"'But, said he, smiling, I guess
you will have to come to the conclu-
sion, after all, that some one else will
tell the time by it hereafter if it hasn't
been smashed to pieces by the fall.
"Next day went to the Office. My
watch was there. A track walker had
discovered it by the light of his torch
at midnight lying snugly on one of the
girders or braces of the iron roadway
beneath the track. The ring was sprung
out of its fastening in the stem, and
the watch was open. There was a dent
ON the case at the hinge. In falling the
watch had struck in some mysterious
way SO that it had been forced from the
fob, which went on down to the street.
Beyond the trifling damage mentioned
the watch was not injured in the slight

THE SACRIFICE.

and Was Glad.

and Was Glad.
She was sweet little woman, with
big brown eyes and a pretty air of de-
termination and hardly summoned for
titude, as she led 4.year-old boy into
an up town barber shop. She took off
his hat and dallied lovingly for mo-
ment with his long yellow curls. Then
she spoke to the man in the first chair,
but her voice faltered and fell, and no
one else could hear what she said.
In a minute the little chap was perched
atop of hassock placed in the chair, a
big apron was around his neck, and the
barber with comb and shears in hand
was preparing to begin his work.
The little woman seated herself reso-
lutely with her face to the street and
gazed straight out at the stream of
teams and bicycles that fills Woodward
avenue just before noon, but she didn't
seem to see anything of the long process.
