For q Neg Cauitol.

Governor Hastings sent TO the Legisla=
ture Wednesday lengthy message on
the subject of new Capitol. He points
out the necessity of prompt action. aud
says that group Of buildings, each suit
able for a specific department, appears to
meet with more general approval than
single structare, while the cost, he has
been advised, would not be nearly so great
and the effect, from an architectural
standpoint, scarcely less imposing. But
hatover plan il adopted, the Governor
believes that provision should be made
for the needs of the public for century
at least.
Governor Hastings does not believe in
increased taxation 10 cover the cost of the
new Capitol. He has been advised, be
says, THAT new building, suitable for
the General Assembly, and of such char
acter as will be creditable TO the Com
monwealth, can. by the utilization Of the
two million or more Of briek-the re-
mains of the old building=be erected at
a cost not exceeding $4,000. OF this
sum we have realized nearly $4,000
from The insurance policies upon the old
Capitol, leaving deficit OF about $780,
coo, TO be provided for by reduced expen-
d;iures or by increased revenues, as may
seem best

Tobacco and The Eyesight.

Prof Craddock says that tobacco has a
bad effect upon the sight, and distinct
disease OF the eye is attributed to immod-
crate use. Many cases in which com
plete loss of sight has occurred, and
which were formerly regarded as hope
less, are now known TO be durable by
making the patient abstain from tobacco.
Th4se patients almost invariably at first
kave color blindness. taking red to be
brown or black. and green TO be light
blue or orange. IN nearly every case,
the pupils are much contracted, IN some
cases to such an extent that the patient is
unable To move about without assistance.
one such man admitted that he had
usually smoked fro N ~ to 20 cigars a
day. lie consented 70 gi.e - smoking
altogether. and his sight was luily -estor-
ed in three and half months. 1t has
been found that chewing is much worse
than smoking in its effect Upon the eye
sight. probable for the simple reason that
more poison is thereby absorbed. The
condition found in the eye in the early
stages i, that Of extreme congestion oaly;
but this. unless remedied ct once, leads
10 gradually increasing disease of the
optic nerve, and then Of course, blindness
is absolute and beyond remedy. II IS,
therefore. evident that, to be of any val
ue. the treatment of disease Of the eye due
to excessive smoking must be immedi-
te, il will probably be useless.

A clean city adds to the comfort and

town pays the biggest kind of dividends
because it prevents disease and promotes
business. The season is here when back

should be flushed, and the front yard of

The decOrum of the Riverhead school
was upset through the escape Of a mouse
in class room. Principal Brown was
showing to the class the effect of the alb
sence of air on the mouse. The mouse
was confined in a tube and the air ex-
tracted. When it was supposed the ami
nal was past helping itself the tube was
removed, and one Of the girls was direct
ed To poke the mouse. She did so with
lead pencil. The mouse cleared the stand
and landing on the floor rushed around
the class room. While the principal and
boy pupils were trying 10 kill the mouse
the girls climbed upon the benches and
screamed. The mouse was finally corner
cd and killed, but il was some time be-
fore the class recovered from the excite
ment.
