The Brassy Eye Now.

"The brassy eye is the latest aflic.
ton which: has fallen to the lot of
street car conductors and motormen,"
said a prominent physician recently.
The 'brassy eye Is peculiar affec-
ton of the eye caused by rubbing the
eye with the hand while the latter is
covered with verdigris from the brass
work of the cars. The symptoms of
the disease resemble 4 slight infam-
nation OF eye, such as might be due
to the presence of any small foreign
body. After a few hours the infiam-
nation increases and Is accompanied
by severe pain, the sufferer being al
most unable to see. An excessive flow
of tears accompanies this stage Of the
disease. In the acute stage Of the dis
ease the intiamed condition of the con-
junctiva covers the whole mucous
membrane, producing a continuous
flow Of mucus and blurred vision.
Motormen, who generally wear gloves,
are not so apt to contract the disease
as conductors, whose duty makes 1t
necessary for them to shin along the
footboard of the car, grasping the
brass seat rails with their hands. The
'brassy eye was noted first some time
ago, and many cases of this peculiar
disease have been reported in various
Eastern cities."-Washington Star.

LITERARY PRGTEMTlCuSNEss.
People who frequently Discuss Books
Have Seldom Read Much.


"There is one curious thing about the
most famous and best known things
in the literature Of the world said n
gentleman who keeps in touch with
literary matters. "and that is in the
fact that the persons who talk so
much about the masterpieces have
never read them at all, and, IN fact,
whatever knowledge they may have
of these matters is gained by reading
popular criticism. They have glanced
at the poem, o. the masterpiece In
prose, but they have never had the pa
tience OF the inclination even, to plow
through the printed matter. Take
Milton's Paradise Lost and Just pass
back over your own experience. Now,
I have never read it myself, and while
I may be little below the average
among literary people, still my own
case may furnish n basis to figure ON.
Not many persons outside OF book
worms and religionists have ever had
the patience to read Paradise Lost
and yet you find many persons who
write and talk elaEorately about this
bit of philosophy poetically put. The
same thing might be said about other
masterpieces. There is Homer's Had
for instance. How many men among
the number who write and talk about
Iliad' have ever read the whole thing
from end to end?
Il venture the assertion that very
few have read il, and there are many
persons who have never glanced upon
the 1liad' in its entirety. This same
thing is true about many Of the other
pieces in literature that are talked so
much about. l knew man once, a
young and sturdy fellow, who was
particularly fond Of economic studies,
and he was constantly spouting Adam
Smith, and seemed to know more
about The Wealth Of Nations than
any other man had ever met. asked
him one day when he read Smith, and
was amazed by the frank statement
that he had never even seen copy Of
the book. This, OF course, is merely
illustrative. and it shows just exactly
what 1 have been saying-that n very
small per cent. Of the persons who talk
about the heavyweights is the litera-
ture OF the world have read the books
they talk about. Really, from my own
experience. ten per cent. is 4 big cs-
innate, and 1 think l have gone over
the conservative line somewhat i'll
making It. Among my own acquaint-
ances I am sure tina: if l should say
only two of every 100 had read the
books they talk about-books l mean,
of the classical kind-I am sure 1
would come closer to the truth of the
matter. There is nothing in the mat
ter to be ashamed Of, either, because
they have been able to get good. idea
of the masterpieces by following the
critics, and frequently their views are
much clearer than the views Of men
who have really read the works, SO
far as the essence is concened."-New

Agitation For Good Roads.

Some sage has said that the civili-
zation of a country is shown by its
roads. This being true, it Is to be
hoped that the agitation now making
head in different parts of the country
will not cease until we IRE we'll pro-
vided for in this way as the best OF
the ancients. OF course our railroads
surpass all their facilities for transit,
but If our ordinary roads were to be
left as long without care as some Of
the prehistoric highways that have
been discovered in various parts of the
world. they would look like 1.-The roads
in Scotland before they were made
But there has already been progress,
and the methods of Macadam, whom
Scott referred to as the Colossus OF
Roads," are being applied in 4 modi-
fed form in every part Of the country
that boasts Of gravel-pits. Road
building has become a science worthy
the attention of the most skilled en-
gineers, and experts are already
abroad in the land. The Province Of
Ontario has for some years past been
setting an example that might be fol-
lowed with profit in all our States.
The government employs an engineer
to oversee building and to teach
the art to all municipalities willing to
learn. In this country the agitation
has been left largely to interested
parties, the bicyclists and automobile
interests, but the good work is grow

The reactionary methods to restrict
the franchis In the south sounds a
warning to Congress to go slow with
our new dependencies. Nearly every
southern state has adopted methods
to practically suppress the negro vote,
and this has been done without pro-
test from any organized sentiment Of
the country, fact that proves that
the general public realizes that the
south is justified In its action. The
Fifteenth Amendment 10 the consti-
tuition: THE right OF citizens to
vote shall not be denied or abridged
on account OF race or color" is nulli-
fed by state constitutions or legis-
latiYe statutes, and the country at
large confesses by its submission to
such action that the giving OF the
franchise TO the exslaves without
qualification was a mistake. The
nation will not be likely TO make a
similar mistake In regard to Porto
Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines.
The sentiment OF the country Is
strongly in favor of safeguards to clti-
zenship-restriction Of the suffrage
rather than extension.

The Phoenecian alphabet, which

has been considered the parent Of al
most all the national alphahets in ex-
