The marks on the wharf at midnight
showed 2 feet inches and falling.
All the packets were several hours
late yesterday.
The improvement work on the Ohio
and its tributaries will soon be sus-
pended and not resumed until next May
or June. The past season has been
very favorable one to work of blast
ing out rock, removing snags and
dredging, and it is doubtful in regard
to its having been fully taken advant-

At Sisters Island she experienced some
trouble on her down trip, being hard
aground there for some time.
Contrary to expectations the City of
Wheeling did not enter into her trade
yesterday morning on account of the
falling river. Steam was kept up all
the early part of the day in the hopes
of a change in the water, but at noon
she dropped down below the wharf and

nongahela river trade, is to have a new
hull, new electric light plant, and her
engines and poIiers thoroughly repair

The report comes from up the river
that there is very little snow in the

enough to bring UP a good boating
stage.

Eye Complaints at Sea.

One of the military journals in
France calls attention to the fact that,
owing to the intensity Of the electric
light used on board men-of-war, the
mon are frequently affected with eye
complaints which in some cases have
led to total blindness. According to
observation, it would seem that eyes
in which the iris is not heavily charged
with pigments, that is to say, gray and
blue eyes, are more likely to be thus
iniuriously affected. These eye trou-
bles are referred to two causes, namely,
the intensity of the light and the ac-
ton of the ultra violet rays. Occu-
lists have recommended the interposi-
ton between the eye and any power
full light OF a transparent substance
which will intercept the ultra violet
rays, such as, for instance, uranium
glass, which is yellow. The French
naval authorities supply dark. blue
glasses for the nse Of those who have
to do with searchfights, etc. and the
cases In which in ,ury has been caused
to the eyes were those of men who had
neglected to use these glasses, which,
however, are stated not toeaaord any
protection against the ultra violet
rays.

When Miss Selma felt herself once
more upon her feet she started for the
door with a hasty word that she would
be back in q minute, but, to her
| amazement, the captain stepped in
front of her with q masterful cir, which
somehow had q soothing effect upon
the little lady who for many long years
had had no taste Of masculine protec'
tion.
s'Don't go yet, Selma, ",he said, and
| Miss selina's heart fairly stood still at
his words. It was q long time since
anyone had called Der by her name
without the prefix, 80 strong was the
custom.
"I want to say something that ]
have been thinking of q long time,
and never seemed to have a good
| chance to say it. It isn't right for
you to be all alone here. Suppose
you had been caught when nobody
was around, you'd have likely been
hanging in the morning. I know I'm
growing old" the captain sighed, and
| Miss Selma involuntarily shook her
head. Speech was beyond her, and
he plucked uphis courage again. But
1 think I am good for some time, and
I come of an old stock. / have some
money put away, and, and, well, Selma,
it may sound foolish for a gray-ha1red
man to say, but love you, and l
want you to be my wife,"
Miss Selma, however, failed to see
anything either amusing or foolish in
| this middle aged romance. She looked
up into the face before her, and read
in the kindly blue eyes a confirmation
of what the stony lips had told.
There was a seconds silence, while
like lightning the thought flashed
through her mind that never, even in
that censorious little town, had q word
been spoken against the captain, and
the thought of a long succession OF
lonely evenings like the n just
passed, with no hope of the coming
of q guest whose advent had been
most eagerly anticipated, made her hold
out her hand.
Captain" she said, slowly; soap
tain, I like you very much"
"But not enough to marry me?"
asked the captain, in q tone of such
deep disappointment that Miss Selma
threw all scruples to the wind.
"Oh, yes, quite enough for that"
she answered, softly.

The United States is slowly dis
covering how many islands she has.
Mona and Monito have just been run
across, between San Domingo and
Puerto Rico, BY the mapmakers Of
the p~ostofice department, and it wrote
to Washington to find ont whose H.
lands they were, any way. They
turned out to be ours, coming under
the head OF ssall other islands" ceded
by Spain. They are not really Of any
particular yaiue; but islands are q
kind of ornament to q nation, like the
beads on d lady's dress, and the more
be-islanded we are the prouder statis-
tics we can fiaunt to the international
breeze. Both Mona aud Monte are
uninhabited and offer precious oppor-
tunities to any N desiring . retired
country home with full riparian rights.

remark that some Of the volunteers
from the city are including in their

cork mattresses. canvas buckets. wa
fertilizers, boxes OF candles, pajamas,

During this time immense fiocks OF
geese are driven into the suburbs,

the left bank Of the Weischer. As the
geese are driven in from long dis
tances they are 'tshod;" that is to say,

of their ancestors and reverently scrub
them. These bones are the object of
great veneration, and are seized upon
by creditors or enemies, leaving the
descendants shorn of honor till they

the greater the social status of the
descendant. How fortunate it is for
us that the honor of our lineage can
not be snatched from us, by cred
tors, in the bones of our ancestors.
