Substitute for Sleep.

A London paper says that the
health of people in fashionable society
is being dangerously threatened By
new drug which is popularity re.
garled as a substitute ior sleep Very
discreetly it declines to name this
dangerous substance. When tea
was first introduced into Europe il
was commended for the same virtues,
and it was believed that il would no
icnger be necessary to waste seven
or eight hours in sleep. But extend.
ed experience has shown the dsas-
trous results of cutting short the pc
riod of natural rest and keeping
awake by the help of tea. and there
is no reason to suppose that chemists
will ever be able to devise any sub.
stitute for sleep which will not
in the long run bring nervous break.

FORMING New EyeIIds.

A remarkable surgical triumph has
been won by Philadelphia doctor,
who has succeeded in grating a new
set of upper and lower eyelids Oh the
eyes Of a man who lost his original
SET in a fire. The accident had left
both eyeballs entirely unprotected,
and there was danger of the victim
losing his sight entirely. When the
case was brought to the attention OF
the doctor he resolved to graft Iour
new eyelids, il possible, taking the
skin from the hip of the patient 1t
was necessary to proceed slowly, Tat
the experiment was successful from
tae start. To-day the patient has -four
new eyelids, which perform the nor.
NAL functions naturally.

If he has any pennies never see

the movement but seeing none oi

the movements.
Notwithstanding the Americans
Wanted civilization and professed
regard for womanklnd, the great
country named is likely to lead in
suffrage reform. Coming from the
premier himself, this expression Of
its advancement is most significant,
and prophetic Of its ultimate and in.
eyitable adoption. The typical
woman of the day is not satisfied
with the servile state Of her grand
mothers in political affairs. She
has discovered that justice for her
own sex cannot be secured while II

Eric Cab Service Changed

The new cab service of the Erie
railroad whereby passengers are
transferred direct from the station
in Jersey City TO any part of New
York at very moderate rates, is so
much of a popular success that the
present outfit has already become
insufficient. and is to be supplement-
cd at once by a number of hansoms
in keeping with the original equip
ment.
The convenience, economy and
comfort Of thus being seated at
once in a FIRST class vehiclein charge
Of courteous driver, and taken
with ordinary baggage wherever
one wishes to go in New York, are
features which should not be over
looked, especially by ladies travel
ing alone. So far as the individual
passenger is concerned this service
relieves from the importunities of
hackmen, solves the cheap cab
question, and practically abolishes
the ferry.
