New jersey "Out of the Union"
Little New Jersey has the distinction
Of occasionally being referred to al
"out of the Union" as IL it had set Id
self up to be an Independent State
The expression is one Of such lon]
standing that many who use it do mol
know its origin. Tradition has it thai
after the fall Of the French EmperO,
Napoleon his brother Joseph, formerly
King Of Spain, came to America with
the French prince Murat. The two
Foreigners decided to purchase landed
property in America, but, owing I'd
Then existing State laws, prohibiting
b foreigner from owning real estate
lnany States refused to let the refuI
I,ees purchase land. At last applica
kiOn was made to the New Jersey Leg
islature, which passed an act enabling
Joseph BOnaparte and Prince Murat I'd
buy land in the State. The surrounding
States poked fun at little Jersey" for
doing what they had refused to, and
claimed that New Jersey was "out Of
the Union because it had king who
Iwas its social and political leader, for
the former King Of Spain was for
many years one Of the leading resi-.
dents of the State.

AGING OF The EYE.

An Old Theory Controverted by ,
Young Chicago Oculist.
All Oculists know that, from middl,
age on. the pupil of the eye grow
smaller, until In old age it is no large
than a pins head. Heretofore the,
have tried to explain this by sayin;
that the muscles and nerves controllin,
the pupils become stiff, or weak, sooner
ihan do the other muscles or nerves O,
The body.
This theory Is controverted by 4
young Chicago Oculist, DR.. Norburnt
Jenkins, who criticises many old theo
fies in regard to the eyes.
DR.. Jenkins was in New York recent
", and was seen by a reporter 81
fnd," said he, that advancing age
only brings into action certain defects
Of the eye, and these defects alone are
the causes Of the small pupil, whether
in age or in youth; and the greater the
defect the earlier the pupil gets small.
This is proved, because the pupil re-
sumes its normal size and activity after
the defects are relieved by perfectly
fitting glasses. In brief, the small pu-
pill comes from eye strain, and is not
present in perfect eyes. AS only about
one person in a thousand has perfect
eyes, the mistake has easily been made
Of thinking the small pupil came from
a natural loss of tone from age, but
perfectly fitting glasses show that these;
defects have existed from youth, and
that age only reveals them, and also
that when these are relieved, the pupil
resumes its youthful action.
1T is not age nor loss Of tone of the
Pas to be small In adults. 1t Is either
caused by astigmatism. unlike eyes OF
far-sightedness.
"Astigmatism Is an eye trouble self
dom understood. The apple Of the eye
and the curtain of the eye are covered
in front by a tough, round and clear:
saucer-shaped skin. something like q
watch-crystal. This is about as wide
and thick as a silver half dime, and thd
white Of the eye frames It If 1t is perl
feet 1t has a shape something like thd
big end Of an egg. If 1t is faulty, it Id
more like the side Of an egg. or a warp,
ed saucer, and blurs the images that
pass through 1t.
I'm about half the people the two
eyes are not alike in their defects; for
farsightedness or near,
are apt to be worse in one
eye than in the other. One eye may be
perfect and the other not quite SO good.
or even very imperfect.
I'm farsightedness the eyeball il too
small, or too short; the images come
to a focus behind the retina, causing
eye strain and small pupil. The great
work of the pupil Is to act in harmony
with the lens and the focusing muscle
to focus perfect images on the out
spread nerve, and this smallness Of
the pupil that attends the advance Of
age is a sign that the pupil is striving
10 make up for shortcomings in other
parts Of the eye.
This discovery win prove Of impor-
lance to spectacle wearers, Tor 1t will
enable them to tell by the size Of their
pupils whether their glasses fit. . mat

) fine Troubles Which Hotel Clerk Hav>
Herewith.
The superstition about 13 wo.ks
both ways in the hotel business" vol
nnteered the proprietor of one of ouI
hotels, though in the great majority OF
cases it is against any room that is
numbered 13. People who are strong
enough to resist nearly all other popu-
lar superstitiOns fall down when the
thirteen case arises for their considera.
ton. and especially when they are
shown to a room having that number.
In a great number of hotels the rooms
numbered 13 are used for storage rooms
Or linen closets and the like, though in
many of the most modern there is NO
Room 13, the jump being made from L.
TO IA. This is. no doubt, the best way
to GET out of the trouble as far as the
guests are concerned, but some extra
sensitive persons will notice the jump
and fight shy of IA as well, for they can
see if the numbering was properly car,
ried out it would bear the supposed
fatal or unfortunate number. In my
hotel there is Room 13, and, l assure
you, 1t is oftener vacant than occupied.
-Only few weeks since one Of the
men whose name Is most prominently
mentioned In this country in cOnnec.
ton with politics stopped at this hotel
AS l3 was empty, as usual, the clerk
sent him to it, thinking that he was moi
affected by the superstition. He no
ticed the number before he got to the
door and refused the room, saying thai
he would not occupy 1t under any cir
rumstances. He then told the clerl
that he had studied into the superstt
ton as far rs it related to politics. ant
had learned that in the three last Presi
Dental conventions the men who Were
to nominate the popular candidate fol
President by circumstances were pu
INTO rooms in the convention cities mum
bered 13, and that in each case theii
were defeated for nOmina
lion. He thought the 13 did the bust
hess for them as much as anything else
and maybe more than all things else
combined. Now, while this is true
there are those who prefer 13 to any
other number, and especially those who
are members of the so-called thirteen
,lubs, who hold their meetings on the
18th Of the months, have 13 at each
able at the dinners and the like. II II

tood-naturedly he buckles down to

when we pitched our tents on Nome
oeach last summer we had little ex-
perience with huskies from the Eskimo
huts. In our absence from the tents
these dogs were inclined to take nber-
ties with our provisions, but they did
It In such a scientific manner that we
felt more amused than outraged. The
dogs would form a skirmish line on the
outside. and then send their most skill
ed thief into the tent to reconnoiter for
meat and bread. If this thief failed
they would send another. and II he was
successful they would divide the plum
der in as intelligent and equitable a
manner as dog thieves were capable of
doing These dogs were honest Injuns
at home, but they would pilfer from
the stranger. When they became bet
ter acquainted with us we could leave
the mess chests open and they would
never touch anything; they were on
their dog honor, and never violated 1t,
only accepting food when 1t was offer
ed to them.
I'm led to these rAmarks," said the
old miner, from seeing men and boys
on the streets endeavoring to break all
manner Of domestic dogs to harness.
They can't do it; it's utterly impossible,
because the poor brutes were not born
that way. The Newfoundlands or st.
don't appear to have any in
terest in their new calling. and they
show it in their downcast tails and de-
Iected countenances. You must re-
member that dogs have very expressive |
faces, and show their feelings in a re-
harkable degree; they are the only ami !
mails that laugh and cry. They have
shared my joys and sorrows In the |
bleak arctic, and this Is why have q |

Since 1888. when the electric railway
was born. more than $l,7OO.OOO.O 900
has been invested in that industry. and

am Q bit Of ashes. How came t
be here y0u wonder. I win tell you o
my travels. When I first remember !
was being on the back Of lamb who's
fleece was white as snow. I wae TIN
fleece. l went around with the laml
whose name was Fanny, for two years
when the good old farmer came and
took Fanny and me down to q small
stream which flowed through his farm
washed ~ and took q pair Of largt
shears and separated me from Fanny
I, with a lot of my brothers and sis
tiers, was put onto a wagon and drawn
to market by two large white horses
4 was then taken to q place called
mill. where they spun, spoiled and
wove me into a fine fabric. I wai
hauled to a dry goods store. piled uI
on shelf among other pieces Of cloth
and finally a lady bought me for heI
little girl whose name was Bella. She
was a lovely little girl and thought me
very pretty. l was to be made into an
apron for Bella. She said that she
would like to have me made "empire. y
OF course l didn't know what that
meant.
They took me to the sewing-rOOm,
and there a lady took shears and cut
me. OF course it hurt, but was will
ing to stand anything for my young
mistress, Bella's sake. Then they
sewed me all up with kind Of thread
and put lace on me and then l was
ready to be worn. First 1 went to q
lawn party at a nice residence Of lit
tie girl named Leta Snow. We had a
lovely time q mean Bella and II. They
served ice cream and all sorts Of good!
les; all Of which Bella seemed to emf
Joy. After that I went to quite n few
parties. Then Bella only wore me to
school. And after while only around
home until she grew tired Of me and
gave me to a little girl named Gladly
Jones, who was quite poor. She word
me quite a while for NICE" as she said
and then just around home. Then lit|
tie Johnnie, her little brother, in a pei
one night took the scissors and cut !
big hole in me.
Then Gladys made me into a dOllie'9
dress for Margaret. her prettiest dolly
After while. she thought WASN'T
good enough for Margaret. so she gavd
me to Maggie. her rag dolly. Afte1
that. Cecil, Gladys younger sister
tried to cut blocks for her dolly's quill
put of me, but she didn't know howl
very well. so she wasted me and fell
ontO the floor. Mrs. Jones picked me
up and put me into the rag bag. An
I'D man came along and bought me
md was taken to a shop and made
nto smooth, shiny writing paper and
'old from the store to a little girl
lamed Hattie.
This little girls mother was away
-isiting and SO Hattie wrote a kind let |
er telling her mamma to return as |
quickly as possible. Her mamma was |
listing her little nephew's parents and !
er kttle nephew found me on the table |
nd tore me into shreis. The nurse,
oming in later. put me into the stove
