A LOST OPPORTUNITY.
A Michigan Colonel Who Didn't Know

Enough to Be "a Millionaire.
l hate to talk of it, said the colonel,
who had fought through the late wal
at the head of a Michigan regiment.
but I've had chances in the northwest
to put myself In the millionaire list
that nobody but a confirmed zap would
think of neglecting. After the war l
was a "land-looker," as they are called,
and l knew the whole country from
Detroit clean through to the far corner
of Minnesota, and right where there
are big buildings and beautiful city
squares to-day l could have bought
land at any price l might name. One
a wanted me to buy, In Duluth, Il
few lots at $50 apiece, and l laughed at
him. They are worth S. q square foot
to-day and upward. l picked up one
piece of land at Agate Harbor for Il
sand; it is worth $4,000 now, and |
wouldn't give a man $3.50 for a tract
that is worth as many thousand this
very minute.
But those are small potatoes and few
In a hill to the biggest piece Of lost OPP
portunityism I was ever guilty of, and
the colonel sighed profoundly. You
know that famous Mesaba iron mine
country, up there on Lake Superior,
where they are taking out thousands
of tons every year of the richest iron
ore on earth, and any quantity of men
are enjoying princely incomes from
their royalties? Well, before anybody
eyer heard OF the Mesaba iron ore l
was up there running a line north from
the Cloquet river, and one day l began
to have all sorts of trouble with my
compass.
Ordinarily 1t was a very tractable
and reliable instrument, but here for
some reason it acted strangely, or
rather refused to act at all, and l could
hardly get any sense out of it. l kept
going ahead, however, and for ten
miles my trouble continued. Then 1t
was over, and l never was quite so
glad of anything as when that compass
began to work again, and ! did not
have to lay my course by sun.

and the timber all along there was not
of sufficient quantity to justify my Civ

didn't. There l was walking over and

dollars, and l could have had all of 1t l
wanted for the mere having sense

SEEING H EYES.

A German Says These Organs Are Not
Actually Necessary to Viainn.
Eyes are popularity considered TO be
quite necessary to sight. but this Is an
error, IL we are to believe DIR. Nagel.
4 recent German experimenter. Many
creatures without eyes can see. at least
they can distinguish between light and
darkness and eve between different
degrees of light. This is the lowest
degree of seeing, to be sure, but still
it Is really sight, and differs scarcely
more from the vision of some insects
that possess eyes than this does from
our w clear sight.
Creatures that see without eyes see
by means Of their skins. All skins,
says DIR. Nagel, are potential eyes;
that is. they are sensitive to light. In
animals that have eyes the sensitive,
ness has been highly localized and
greatly increased-so that man, for in
stance, has n retina very sensitive to
light, and an expanse of ordinary skin
which possesses a sensitiveness to light
so slight that 1t is hardly conscious of
it. Yet his skin is sensitive In some &c.
grees, as is proved by the fact that II
sunburns-that is, light may cause a
disturbance in the pigment of the skin
Just as 1t does in that of the eye In
the eye the disturbance Is accompanied
by a nervous change, which sends E
telegraphic message along the optic
nerve to the brain. In the skin, too,
there are nerves, and there are mes
sages, also, but their tidings imprint no
Image on the mind; they simply ex-
press discomfort-cry out "sunburn."
But In many eyeless creatures the
lack of eyes Is In part made up by In
creased sensitiveness of the -5hole skin
surface to light. Darwin long ago no.
ticed that earth worms, although they
have no eyes, will suddenly withdraw
into their holes at the approach Of a
lighted candle. Some creatures seem
more sensitive to sudden Increase of
light; others to sudden dlminution. If
a number of oysters, kept in n vessel
together are found to be open, they
will shut all at once If a dark object
comes between them and the light. An
other bivalve, called psammodla, has
long, whitish transparent tubes which
protrude from the sand In which 1t lies
buried. II these are suddenly illumin-
ated they contract, and the brighter
the light the greater the contraction.
If a number of them be carried into
direct sunlight they hasten to bury
themselves in the sand; or II there Is
no sand they restlessly to and
fro In the water until they are ex-
hausted.-Boston Journal.

corn he went to tho bank and asked for
the So, 900. Mr.. r. r. Anderson, IL

In Want of Tires.

The American Field says that a bicy-
Gle company received the following
original letter from a man in Kansas.
1t is to be hoped that he got his rubber
tires, though a spelling book might pos

low injun robber tires stuffed with

o to Live Long,

In youth the vigOr of the system is
often so great that If one organ be slug
gish another part will make amends for
the deficiency by acting vicariously and
without any consequent injury to itself.
In old age the task cannot thus be
shifted from one organ to another, the
work allotted to each sufficiently taxes
Its strength and yicariOus action can
not be performed without mischief re-
sulting from it. Hence the Importance
of maintaining as far as possible the
equable action of all the bodily organs,
so that the share of the vital process
assigned to each shall be properly ac-
complished. For this reason exercise
Is an important part of the conduct of
lutely necessary. Exercise is essential
to the preservation of health, ~inactiv-
ity is n potent u of wasting and de-
generation. The vigor and equality of
the circulation, the functions of the
skin and the aeration of the blood, are
all prompted by muscular activity,
which thus keeps up n proper balance
and relation between the important or
gans of the body. Now, an old man
should discover by experience how
much exercise he can take without eX-
hausting his powers, and should be
careful never to exceed the limit. Old
people are sometimes apt to forget that
their staying powers are much less
than they once were, and hat while a
walk of two or three miles may prove
easy and ~pleasurable, the addition of a
return journey of similar length may
seriously overtax their strength.-N. Y.

The Dangers of Kissing.

Some time ago n metropolitan news
paper contained a long account of Il
society, said to have been established
somewhere in Indiana. the object of
which was the encouragement of the
habit of kissing at social parties. Mem
bershlp in this society was limited
strictly to women; perhaps it was
feared that there would be too many
backsliders if men were admitted.
The writer of the article might have
employed his Imagination more useful
" had he described a society of matrons
established for the protection of babies
against oscillations of every chance ac-
ouaintance or visitor In the family, or
even passer-by In the street.
Babies, at least most babies, are very
loyable-when they are in their happy
moods-but that is no reason why they
should be subjected to treatment that
they would surely resent were they old
enough to appreciate the indignity.

The Queens Wealth.

Queen Victoria Is the wealthiest SOY.
ereign that has ever ruled over Great
Britain. All Of her predecessors upon
the throne bequeathed to their success
ors nothing but debts, which Parlia-
ment was called upon to pay. While
the Queen permitted the nation thus to
settle the liabilities of her uncles, King
George ". and King William ", she
made 1t a point Immediately after her
succession to pay off the large debts
contracted by her father, the Duke Of
Kent. This, the p%ortioning of her
daughters, as well as some of her
granddaughters, who have In each case
received from her a dowry of $50O,O0
on marrying and the settlement on one
occasion of some very pressing liabili-
ties CT the Prince of Wales, may be said
to have constituted the only very heavy
expenses which the Queen has been
called upon to meet since she assembled
the throne, in 1887.
From that time forth until the pres.
ent day she has been in receipt OF a
civil list amounting to close upon 49,
100000 a year. OF this the major por-
ton Is assigned to definite heads of
royal expenditure. But $780, 900 per an.
mum Is devoted to what Is called the
Queens priyy purse, and constitutes
her pocket money, Of which no account
is eve asked. Besides this, she has at
her disposal the net revenues of the
Duchy of Lancaster, which have
amounted on an average to $500, 600 a
year more. From this it will be seen
that after having all the expenses of
every conceivable character, down to
her very charities and servants wages,
betrayed out of the civil list, she has
a sum Of at least $60O,OO each year to
dispose Of as she lists, and which she
is known to have set aside. 1t Is no
exaggeration to estimate the present
fortunate of Her Majesty from these
sources alone as in the neighborhood of
100000 600.
On Jan. /, 1877, Her Majesty was
proclaimed Empress of India by the
GovernOr-General at the durbar of Del
hi before an Imperial assemblage of
all the Governors, Lieutenant-Govern-
ors, heads of government, princes,
chiefs and mobiles Of India. Ten years
later another suspicious event delight
ed the whole Of the English C The
jubilee Of her accession to the throne
was celebrated with great splendor In

The Prison Was u NOisome Place In Queen
Elizabeth's Day.

The Prison Was u NOisome Place In Queen
Elizabeth's Day.
In st. Nicholas there is an interest
ing story, Master Skylark," II nara
tive of Shakespeare's time, written by
John Bennett. One of the leading char
acters, CASTOR Carew, a ruffling player,
has been put in Newgate for killing a
companion at cards. The hero, Nick
Atwood, the Skylark. visits him there.
1t was a foul, dark place and full of
evil smells. Drops OF water stood ON
the cold stone walls, and n green mold
crept along the floor. The air was
heavy and dank, aud it began to be
hard for Nick to breathe.
"Up with thee" said the turnkey
gruffly, unlocking the door to the stairs.
The common room above was packed
with miserable wretches. The strongest
kept the window lodges near light and
air by sheer main force and were dicing
on the dirty sill. The turnkey pushed
and banged his way through them,
Nick clinging desperately to his jerkin.
In the cell at the end of the corridor
there was a Spanish renegade who rail
ed at the light when the door was open
ed and rallied at the darkness when it
closed. "Cesare ell Moro, Cesare ell Mo
TO-" he was saying over and over again
to himself, as if he feared he might for
get his own name.
Carew was in the middle cell, ironed
hand and foot. He had torn his sleeves
and tucked the lace under the rough
edges of the metal to keep them from
chatting the skin. He sat OIL a pile of
dirty straw, with his face in his folded
arms upon his knees. By his side were "A
broken biscuit and all empty stone jug.
He had his fingers in his ears to shut
out the tolling of the knell for the men
who had gone to be hanged.
The turnkey shook the bars. Here,
wake upP' he said.
Carew looked up. His eyes were
swollen, and his face was covered with
a two days. beard. He had slept i'll his
clothes, and they were full Of broken
straw and creases. But his haggard face
lit up when he saw the boy. and he
came to the grating with an eager ex-
clamation: "And thou hast truly come
to the man thou dost hate SO bitterly,
but will not hate any more? Come.
Nick, thou will not hate me any more.
Twill not be worth thy while, Nick.
The night is coming fast"
"Why, sir" said Nick. ''it is not SO
dark outside-'tis scarcely noon, and
thou wilt soon be out"
"Out? Ay, Oh Tyburn hill" said the
master player quietly. "I'ye spent my
whole life for a bit of hempen cord.
I've taken my last u Last night, at
IL o'clock, / heard the bellman under
the prison walls call my name with
those of the already condemned. The
play is nearly out, Nick, and the people
will be going home. 1t has been "A wild
play, Nick, and i'll played"

EASY WAY OF GETTING RICH.
Lets a Little Water Wheel Pull Wealth
Onf nf His Rnrron Land

Let's a l4lrIIc aCeT neel PuII ealtn
Out of His Barren Land.
Michael Grath of Bradford, Pa, a
long time ago owned n little tract of
land that was as sterile and barren as
a strip of the Jersey coast. He titled
and plowed until he was wrinkled and
bent. and all he got was barely enough
to keep body and soul together. But
one day he found that that barren lit
tie strip of land was oozing with oil.
He said nothing about it, but he re-
doubled his efforts and after awhile he
had enough money saved to put down n
we'll. The well was not a gusher; It
was what Is known in the oil regions
as a "small producer" and yielded on
an average twelve barrels "A day.
While Grath was looking about for
some method to pipe his oil the rains
came and swelled the tiny creek which
passed through his farm until its course
was changed and 1t flowed by his we'll.
That was all the Irishman needed. At
practically no expense beyond the cost
of cutting a little timber from his land,
he rugged up a water wheel and soon
nature was merrlly pumping her treas
ures into a neighboring tank owned by
one of the big pipe lines, and Grath was
charging her work up to the company
at so much n barrel.
When she had shaved long enough
for Grath to make some money he put
down another we'll, which, like the first,
proved to be n small producer. The sup
ply from this we'll was pumped by the
same wheel into the same n%eighboring
tank, and the only increase in the Irish
