Rev. Frederick c.. Lee, pastor of the
California-street Methodist Episcopal
Church, last evening delivered an elo-
ouent sermon on the existing evils in San
Francisco. He called attention to the fact
that nearly in every case where the at
tention of the police has resulted in the
edification of public morals the press has
first ventilated the evils SO thoroughly as
to force the officers into action by over
whelming indignation from the law-abid-
ing element of the community. He con-
GUIDED his remarks by advising Chief
Lees TO resign his position in favor of an
active man, if he finds its burdens toe
cumbrous by reason of his advanced age
In part he said:

SQUIRTING EYES.
The Observations OF an English SPEC
ciaiist on This Subject.
From the London Standard

From the London Standard.
In a learned paper on the subject Of con-
vergent strab.smus by, Prof. Priestly Smith,
which constituted the last Bowman lecture
of the Ophthalmological Society, it is stated
that the onset of strabismus is often attrib-
uted to a fit. fright, fall or other such
occurrence, and still more often to an i'll
ness, such as whooping cough measles.
Making allowance for the frequency of such
events amon., children and for a certain
disregard of time and sequence in their
elders, it seems to me, says Prof. Smith,
highly probable that these supposed causes
are very often real causes. Some such
PLANTATION of the onset was given, with
show of reason, in more than two-fifths Of
my eases, and the proportion would no
doubt have been higher mad not many OF
The patients been brought by persons who
knew nothing of their antecedeuts.
In many cases the history definite
and not to be upset by Discrimination.
For example 4 child who had never been
seen to squint before came from school
squirting badly, having that morning been
put into the corner with a doth over her
head. Another did the same Immediately
after having his head pushed into a bucket
of water by mis- brother; another after sit
ting in scading water; another after being
terrified by a monkey which jumped on 10
her shoulder No less clear in many cases
was the history Of onset during measles,
whooping cough or ether constitutional dis
orders.
All these are conditions which may grave
ly disturb the nervous system. Shock, anger
or apprehen- ion impair the control of mus
cular action. They cause the knees to
shake the voice to trembe and even the
hand Of the Ophtnalmic surgeon TO become
unsteady Febrile disorders cause delirium,
commissions and sometimes transient stra-
bsmus and leave the nervous system eX-
hausted. Is il not highly probable that such
disorders occurring in young children may
interrupt the action Of these higher centers
which control the movements of the eyes,
and this not Only where control is already
difficult by reason of amblyopia or error OF
refracton, but even in children whose Wis
ual apparatus is normal for their time of
life, but not yet fully developed? The old
idea that the squirting child needs a little
skillful surgery and nothing more Is dying
out. Most people know that glasses are Of
ten necessary, but that the child may re-
quire teaching, at some trouble, to use the
squirting eye is a new idea to many. 1t is
easily grasped, however, and must be
grasped if our efforts are to be effective.
have used the word educative as a help in
that direction. OF course there are parents
and there are children on whom all time
and trouble spent in this way are entirely
thrown away, bat on the whole have been
surprised at The care and patience with
which directions have been carried out, even
in homes where one might least expect II.

about is that the tunnel viii be a great
saving of time. 1t takes six hours to get
from London to Carlisle. BY means of IN"

With the improvements that are to be eX-

That makes eleven or twelve hours from
London to Galway"

The most costly and precious wine in the
world is that contained in a cask named
the Rose" in the Bremen Town Hall
cellars. This Rudesheim, of the vintage
of the year 1853, is of the color of old ale,
and has a wonderful aroma, though a
rather hard taste. 1t is never sold, but is
used exclusively for the sick of Bremen,
the only exceptions having been when
small bottle was presented to the Emperor
William l. another to Frederick III, and
one to Prince Bismarck. The supposed
money value of this wine is something be-
yond credence, but, it is never sold, this
detail is of slight Importance.

But that program is rather disastrous to

Yes. rather
And Queenstown is going to be heard

NO doubt; but it is the voice of Belfast
that will carry weight. for that is the city
most directly interested in the tunnel. II
is the chief city of Ireland and does much
the larger part of her business. Belfast
would probably be the railroad terminal Of
the tunnel, and doubtless the trains would
run to Belfast from the English side with
out stopping. To go from Belfast to Gal
way without changing cars would require
IN entire new line Of railroad, owing TO the
present difference in gauge between the
English and Irish roads, bat that would
come in time.
Il believe the passenger traffic alone
would go long way toward making the
line pay, for il is a long. disagreedBle trip

I'M prejudiced. They say l am in favor of

The Money.
IF the government refuses to guarantee
the per cent interest. will the plan fall
through for the PRESENT.
Il can't say, but it seems hardly likely
that the government will refuse. This case
isn't parallel TO that of Mr.. Rhodes rail-
road. Africa is unknown, and the receipts
from the road were problematical, but with
this tunnel the receipts can be estimated
almost scientifically, and. besides, the tun-
mel would have an important effect upon
the development of Ireland. 1t is an affair
of national importance. The money [ I'M
derStand, can be had as soon as the gov
eminent guarantees the interest, but the
stockholders will not ask the government
to step in until the work is entirely done
and the plant is ready for operation |
know little about the plans for the financial
part of the work, but | have no doubt
American capital would be largely inter-
ested.
But one thing is certain, the effort to
interest the government is entirely non
political AT the house of commons meet
ing, over which l had the honor of pre-
siding, one of the strongest supporters OF
the plan was my opponent at the polls,

Poppy Babies.

Did you ever make poppy babies
They are the funniest little dolls i'm

biggest poppy you can find, with good

so! as not to break them, and bind
round half way down to make the
dolly's waist using for the belt blade
Of grass or piece Of worsted. Cut the
stalk, just leaving as much leg showing
as you think necessary, and push the
cut off piece under the skirt to make the
other leg It must be long enough to
go through the waistband or the leg
will not be secure. II there is still
enough stalk for the arms, use it, but
if not another poppy must lend one for
the purpose-one stalk pushed through
the body, SO that the arms are of equal
length. Now pull off most Of those back
stamens round the neck, leaving only
few at the back to represent hair.
Take a pin and with its point make
two holes in the face for eyes and two
little Sits for nose and mouth. At first
little white juice will come out, but
this will soon turn black, making quite
decided features. No art is required to
improve upon the lovely little natural
cap. The poppy baby is now ready.

Flowers That Pinch.

A peculiar species of climbing plant
from Brazil has lately been introduced
in the south of England, where it grows
in the open air. Its flowers are provid-
ed with fiat, horny plates, situated
above the nectar cups in the center of
the blossom and which are called
''pinching bodies" When an insect
thrusts its proboscis into the nectar,
the plates pinch it fast, and on its de-
parture the insect must either carry off
the pollen masses of the flower or leave
its proboscis behind In the former case
the pollen is likely to reach and fer
tilize another flower In the latter the
unfortunate insect, deprived of its pro-
boscis, dies. Sometimes the legs as well
as the noses, of insects are found stick
ing in the flowers. Only the humble
bee appears to be strong enough always
to escape amputation.
