BETTER EYES NOWADAYS.
Despite the Fact That spectacles Are
 Far More Common.


 Defective eyesight is certainly be- coming more and more common, and the way the use of glasses has increas- ed would be extremely startling If we had not grown accustomed to them by degrees" said one of group of New Orleans business men. sWhen I was boy 1t was very unusual to see a young person wearing specs; now we en- counter them at every tura. Our grandfathers used to be proud of their was retained into advanced old age, but at present pair of perfectly sound eyes are the exception instead of the rule. I am willing to bet that you can go up and down Canal street, from one end of the retail district to the other, without finding half a dozen business men of over 45 who can get along withs out artificial aid to the sight. l paid visit to a young ladies seminary not long ago, and out of one class of g counted IS wearing glasses. That IS frightful percentage. If it doesn't indi- cate that the human eye is playing out under the strain of modern conditions would like to know what it does mean?" "I think can reassure you,s said physician who had joined the party while the other was speaking. The human eye is not playing out, but is merely receiving better care. The statistics on the subject do not extend back more than 90 or 40 years and are very imperfect, but they indicate thai there is less defective vision now than tbere used to be, especially among school children. I know that is con- trary to the general impression, but it is 8 fat, and is attributed to better lighted school rooms and better printed books. We have a1s read how some Of our great statesmen studied their les. sons by the light Of the fireplace, and If they ever did such a thing, which doubt, you may rest assured they paid for it with spectacles in after life. The reason why so many glasses are seen nowadays is that the slightest visual defect. is at once corrected, while in former times it was either ignored or unnotieed, and, though there are prob. ebly more spectacles among very old pe0gle you will likewise find fewer very old peopl4 totally blind. ;

THE SPORT OF KINGS.
They Mere Too Much for the Shippers
 Sentative of the Tradition.

shey Mere Too Much for the skipper,a
 Sentative of the Tradition.
 Hunting used to be called the sport of kings. but not many of the m ern crowned heads keep up the old t.adi- tion. The Czar of Russia occasionally assists at a battue, but the thing bores him and he goes only out of polirenes5. The prince of Wales is very good shot and is fond of snootieg, but his big game days are over. The emperof of Germany hunts and shoots @ god deal, but those who know him best say he does not much care for the sport With him it is a matter of tradition the right thing for a royal parsonage to do. The king of Portugal, who holds the record for fatness among all the royalties, is physically disabled from such violent exercise. The king ot Sweden never touches a gun. The sul- tan of Tur1 ay cannot bear to see one. says the New York Commercial Adver- tiser. 6e king of the Belgians has shot only once in his whole life, and then in very unkingly fashion. He wanted to have the sensation of killing without the trouble of going in search If the game. So he sat in his arm chair aud potted at lot of rabbits let lose from a bag in front of him When the smoke cleared away and his majesty called for his bag he had to be told that all that had been found was one tail and a certain small quantity of hnf He never went shooting again. Fh~ king of Italy is the only real represen- tatiye of the old kingly tradition. He Is mighty hunter and frequently throws up all the routine work without 2 word of warning, and goes off with one officer Col. Pazzimbolini, to spe.so several weeks in pursuit of the game of all kinds with which the mountains abound. Formerly he established no means of communication with Rome. Neither Queen Margherita nor any 0. his ministers ever knew where to find him for weeks at time. He might nave lost his throne in a sudden up- heaval and known nothing of it till he descended to the plains. Of late, however, he has become wiser. Now a carrier leaves Rome every second day during his expeditions, bringing re- ports of all that happens.

THE WORLD GROWING BETTER.
The People as Whole Infinitely Better
 or Than Cent1ry Ago.

The People as Whole Infinitely Ber5er
 or Fhan CentUry Ago.
 That the world is constantly grow ing better is evident to any observer who will take the trouble tc look about him and compare present conditions with those existing a century ago. h & contribution to New York paper this fact is strongly brought out by Prof. John Bach McMaster, the we'll known historian. 4 century ago, says the professor, labor was performed ID the south almost exclusively by slaves, and in the north largely by "redemp- tioners," who were in effect temporary slaves. When the redemptioner finally got his freedom he had to work for wages that would barely sustain life; or he had the alternative of pressing stern nature and bloodthirsty sayages for the right to live. And woe be to the poor wretch who fell sick and got into debt. In New York as late as 1916 there were 1884 persons jailed for debt, and 729 of these owed less than 1925 each, and had been imprisoned flor spite Today the workingman no longer tolls from sunrise to sunset, as he did then. He is no longer subject to imprisonment for honest debt. Wages a century ago were paid when the employer pleased. Now they are paid daily or weekly, and the laborer Is protected by lien laws. Railroads and machinery have enabled him to eat better food and wear better clothes than ever before. Increased blessings of the same kind are enjoyed by Wo- men. Nor is the increase of happiness confined to any class. The steady march of civilization has made every body broader minded and more hu- mane. Diseases once the scourge of the world are feared no more. A face pitted with smallpox i5 as rare now as it was common century ago. Yel- low fever and cholera have lost their terrors with the increase of cleanliness Anesthetics have almost annihilated pain. Cheap books, magazines and newspapers have made ignorance and arrow-mindedness the badges of dis grace. Cruel punishments are aban- doned and spirit of humanity and charity pervades the thought and the activities of the civilized world. Prof. McMaster may well remark that the man who can contemplate these changes and still be pessimist is men tally diseasaS

Women Not Cowardly.

When cowardice is described as leading feminine attribute somebody makes a huge mistake. Women do the most daring things on record take chances which would appal man. They may jump at the sight or mere mention of harmless mouse, but they court death several times year It IS one of the traits which makes feminine nature so puzzling. have known wom- en who were timid to degree, under ordinary circumstances, come fcrth as heroiRas under the pressure of occa' gioa. A woman who shudders at the sight of a small cut from which blood oozes will often exhibit marvellous courage in 8 shocking accident. It is beautiful to think that dependence can be placed upon that species Of reck- !essness which leads us into unneces- sary trouble

The great loss of life incurred by the English troops is mainly attributable to the charges they have had to make across open spaces in order to d'sloslge the enemy from the sheltering kopje In order to minimize the death .oll it has been suggested that just before 8 charge takes place smoke shells should be fired. which would temporarily hide the English soldiers.

Msadleant Students

Concerning the poorer students of Russia the Saturday Review says: Their mendaeity is passiFe rather than active. Unlike the mendieant friars, they never ask, but they know much will be given them. They know, too strange fact in a strange country-that the university is open to all, irrespec- tive of means or position. Thus the university becomes the poor Russians golden opportunity, fc~ Esee, as elses where, there are man. s, for which graduates alone are e ts 1a.

TALK WITH THE hELIoaRAPH.

! T How the System Of sIgoaiing Now in
 Csc In South Africa Ia Operated.
 HeIiographing is "sun writing.9 By the use of the heliograph the suns rays are flashed over long distances. The letters of the Morse teiegraphic code are used, and communication is comparatively easy on bright days. The instrument that Is now used to transmit heliograph messages is ex- ceedingly simple. It consists of tripod carrying horizontal rod at the top. On this rod is a mirror on one end and on the other small upright rod with a movable button. This mir TOT is usually four and a half inches in diameter, and is so arranged that 1t can be rotated both on horizontal, and on a vertical axis In the middle is a small unsilvered spot. The mir TOT is sighted by means of this unsil fered spot and the button on the rod in front, exactly as rife would na aimed. If the button is raised so as to cover the destination of the mes Gd6S. W4liCn Idl1 OE IOuAh py @O1npel0o if it cannot be seen, and the shadow thrown by the unsilyered spot in the middle of the reflection covers the hut ton, the instrument is in position. There is a coatriyance by which the shutter is operated, opening and clos ing over the mirror by means of a key, which is pressed like the key of 6 telegraph instrument. A long flash stands for a dash, a short one for dot in the Morse system. The greatest distance ever overcome by the helio- graph was that operated over by the United States signal corps between Mount Uncompahgre, in Colorado, and Mount Ellen, in Utah. This was 18S miles. The flashes came and went as regularly as though the distance had been much shorter Indianapolis urnsa
