Diseases of Miners.

As to whether there are any diseases
peculiar to the miners calling there is
evidence that, with one, or perhaps two,
exceptions, there are none such. These
exceptions are an affection Of the eye,
termed "nystagmus," and. in lesser
degree, that disease of the respiratory
organs which usually goes by the name
of miners asthma. Nystagmus, al
though not prevalent affection, is one
with we'll marked symptoms directly
traceable to the posture OF the collier
while at work.
The symptoms are oscillation with
more or less of rolling motion of the
eyeballs, giddiness, with headache, and
the appearance of objects moving in
circle, or lights dancing before the eyes.
In severe cases the person affected
may stumble and be so much incon-
venienced as to be obliged to stop work.
DR.. Simeon Smell of Sheffield has given
this disease special attention for about
30 years and has published the results
of his Investigations, which show be-
yond all reasonable doubt that nystag-
mus is confined almost entirely to those
underground workmen who are engaged
in holing or underwriting the coal, and
is due to the miners habit of looking
upward above the horizontal line OF
vision, and more or less obliquely while
at work lying ON his SIDE 1t has been
observed also in firemen and others who
have occasion frequently to examine
the roof, turning the eyes obliquely
while doing so. Any other occupation
in which the person may habitually
turn the eyes upward and sideways will
induce nystagmus. Coal Trade Jour-

Southern Inconsistency.

The act of those southern senators
who voted against the duties on manu-
featured cotton, but for the duties on
raw cotton, is marvel Of shortsight-
edness. The best customer the southern
raiser of cotton has is tho northern
manufacturer of cotton. If the Ameri-
can cotton manufacturer were not pro-
lected, the southern cotton raiser would
have curtailed market and lower
price for his product. Protection to the
raw product would avail nothing If
free trade in the manufactured product
ruined American cotton manufactur-
ers and deprived the raiser Of cotton OF
his best market. But the south has &c
knowledged the principle Of protection
and has recognized the value and neces-
sity of protection along some lines.

Artists Failures.

"Do not, let me beg of you, be afraid
of so called failures, said well known
artist addressing his class. "They are
only stepping stones to success, the
premiums we all must pay for expert
ence. I may say, without vanity, that I
have been fairly successful in my pro-
fession, and yet to one canvas that sue
ceeded there have been as many as 40
which have scraped down with my
palette knife in disgust. Even if stu
dent never succeeds, his very failures
may be noble.'
1t Is not only to art that this exhorta-
ton might apply. In every career, In
every walk in life, the same point Of
view should be taken. Failures are not
failures really-they are lessons; they
are stepping stones. They should not be
associated for moment with despond-
ency or hopelessness. Just as child
tumbles and picks himself up as a mat
ter of course and runs gayly on, so
should we children of a larger growth
regard the ups and downs of life, never
losing courage, however often we tum-
BILE. Young people especially should be
taught that it is not always success
to succeed and that disappointments
should be taken philosophically. The
idea of a BOBBY prize in games is good
one. There are many prizes in life for
those who apparently fail, and even in
worldly matters the last shall be first
and the first shall be last in nine cases
out of ten.-New York Tribune

First Person Photographed.

1t was in 1912 that John Draper, then
professor in the University Of New
York, made the first portrait photo
graph. The subject was Elizabeth ORA
per, his sister. Professor Draper had the
idea that In order to produce distinct
facial outlines in photography it would
be necessary to cover the countenance Of
the person photographed with -four.
This seems a strange notion now, and it
proved not to DO a good one then, for all
of Professor Draper's early attempts
were failures. Finally he left off the
flour and then was quite successful.
This SO delighted him that he sent the
picture to Sir William Herschel, the en-
inent English astronomer. Sir William
was in turn delighted and made known
Professor Draper's success to the scien-
tifio men of Europe. He also sent Pro-
fessor Draper letter Of acknowledge
ment and congratulation, which has
been carefully preserved in the archives
Of the Draper family.

BRITISH WHEAT BUYERS.

individual Interest. Not Sentiment, Char
acterixes Business Dealings.
Free Traders tell us that protectiv
tariff policy prevents our exporting
goods to foreign parts. Whether the re-
peated assertion of this argument is
based ON an assumption of the produ-
GERS ignorance we do not know. We
have never heard free trader go be-
yond the bold assertion to any explana-
ton how tariff on imports affected ex-
ports very materially.
1t will be borne in mind that there is
to be no tariff OH exports, yet they tell
us that we will kill our foreign market
if we protect our home market. How?
Who will explain how? When asked to
explain how that effect is produced by
a protective tariff, the usual answer is
"Why, if we tell England she shall not
ship her manufactured goods into the
United States in competition with
American goods of course England will
say to the United States, Then we will
not buy your wheat nor your flour. 4"
Now that is an explanation based
wholly on the idea that it is England as
nation which buys our products, and
there is just the error which is the
foundation of the free traders strongest
argument. England buys no wheat nor
anything else from us, unless it is lit.
tie to supply her army and navy. 1t is
not England, but it is an Englishman--
an individual, not a nation-that does
the purchasing.
Now that English wheat buyer Is not
the individual who owns knife fac
tory at Sheffield, he is not the man who
runs cotton factory. he is not the fell.
low who controls the Irish linen mills,
he Is not even a second cousin Of the
chap who manufactures silks.
When that wheat buyer goes down on
'change at Liverpool, he is not likely
to stop and say to himself: "That Yam
kee congress has passed law which
prevents some linen factories Of Ireland
from selling linen to Minnesota people,
and the result Of that law will be that
after awhile the flax of Minnesota will
be made into linen right near the Min
nesota farmers. Therefore I'll not buy
any No. hard wheat Of the Red river
valley"
No, that wheat buyer does not worry
half so much about the English knife.
maker or the Irish linen manufacturer
as he does about the fact that the tele-
graph shows him that wheat is selling
for ha'penny lower in Minneapolis to-
day than it was yesterday and that
therefore he can get Yankee wheat more
cheaply than he can Australian OF
Venezuelan wheat.
There is heap Of sentimentalism
about the free traders gush concerning
the brotherhood of all nations, but when
it comes down to the business Of buying
and selling the individual looks after
the individual. 1t is selfish world, 9
very practical world, in business mat
