BLIND SPOT IN EVERY EYE.
No Human Being Ii Gifted with Per.
feet Vision, Scientists
Sny.

OF the many curious facts which are
discussed concerning the eye, what is
known rs ''the blind spot" seems the
least understood, says the PHILADELPHIA
Record. In the eye itself certain things
may go on which give us wrong sensa-
tions, which, although not truly illu-
siops, are very much like them. Thus,
when we suddenly strike our heads or
faces against something in the dark,
we sec stars" or bright sparks, which
we know are not real lights, though
they are quite as bright and sparkling
as Ii they were. When we close one
eye and look straight ahead at some
word or letter in the middle of this
page, for example, we seem to see not
only the thing we are looking at, but
everything else Immediately about it,
and for long way on each side. But
the truth is, there is a large round spot,
somewhere near the point at which we
are looking, in which we see nothing.
Curlously enough, the existence of this
blind spot was not discovered by acci-
dent, and nobody ever suspected it un-
til Mariotte reasoned from the con-
struction of the eyeball that it must
exist and proceeded to find it.

TOLLS PAID IN HoRSEsHoEs
Survival of n Curious Old Custom
building Up a Remarkable COL
lection An England

One of the most curious survivals of
the custom of paying tolls exists at
Oakham castle, ir Rutlandshire. From
very ancient times whenever n peer of
the realm rides by the place he is re-
quired by the constable of the castle
TO contribute horseshoe in lieu of a
Hnc. These are then hung upon the
walls of room in the castle, which is
thought to have been formerly used as
chapel. The custom still obtains,
though nowadays noblemen who PASS
through the town generally contribute
shoes of some precious metal, richly
decorated and bearing their coat-of-
arms. Quite lately the earl of Gnslow
forwarded TO }. L. Whitehcuse, the con-
stable Of Oakham castle, a new horse
"Eoe, richly decorated, bearing the in
scri2tion: William Hitler, Fourth
Earl Of Onslow." ''H '.'.'
Another nobleman who was DRIVING a
tendem through the town short time
ago was called upon for the customary
shoe. When it arrived it was found to
be OF pure gold and beautifully chased.
1t is now one of the most interesting OBJ
jects in the collection.

GENERALLY SUPERIOR.
That IL What Is Said OF the Women
Who Really Rsfuse -.
to Marry.

Generally speaking women who be-
long to this class are the best of their
sex. Some people think they prefer
single blessedness because they have q
mission" which calls them to some
useful work or other. No doubt many
ofthem do employ their time with great
benefit to their ellow-creatures; still,
we think they would have bee: willing
to marry had they met one whom they
could love. Either they are faithful to
the memory of the past or the man
whom they could have married has
never crossed their path. And being
women of the utmost honor and recti-
tude, they prefer cold madism" to mar
ry for the sake of marrying. Says a
dear old lady Of this type: mo! /
never had love story" she said to u.s.
One or two men have asked me, but
never yet saw him whom could have
loved" DR.. Talmage says: "rwo era
dies, each with its tiny occupant, com
mence rocking; one may be,thousands
OF miles from the other. Through the
long years those cradles are rocking
toward each other; when they meet
there is marriage made in Heaven.
But maybe one occupant dies, and
then? Well! We have the woman who
refuses 10 marry"
