VIRTUES OF EYEGLASSES.

Are a Cure for Seasickness and Per-
haps for Insanity.
Between eyeglasses and worry there
seems no intimate connection; yet the
first may often be a corrective of the
second. Even NAL de mer may yield
to pair of spectacles. Suicide and
insanity may result from the want Of
of them.
This is no quack medicine adver-
tisenent. 1t is a statement of fact,
based on the evidence of an expert.
Writing in the Lancet, Earnest Prom
ger, ophthalmic surgeon to Harrogate
Institute, points out that though many
people suffer from worry, few break
down under it. The cause of the
break downs that do occur, he is con-
WINGED, from careful observation, are
in many cases errors in refraction.
He once prescribed glasses for the
correctional astigmatism in a medi-
cal man, who up to that time believed
that his eyes were normal. Soon after
ward the patient went to ireland, and
in spite of a rough journey and the
fact that he had been always liable to
violent seasickness he was not on that
occasion seasick. The medical man
attributed his exemption from the
dreaded malady to wearing the glasses
The motion of the sea-" says Mr..
Pronger, twas not by itself sufficient
to upset him, the additional influence
of that slight error of refraction hav-
ing been removed" The same object
was also a. great sufferer from train
sickness, "a not uncommon result of
astigbatiSm." But now he has only
to wear glasses, and no express has
power over him.
In another patient the nervous sys-
tenn completely brooks, down. He be-
lieved that he could see quite well,
He went through various courses of
treatment without getting better. Then
Mr. Prongsr prescribed spectacles.
From that day forward the patient be-
came gradually restored to health.
From his experience of the symp-
toms and conditions which are the eff
feet of uncorrected errors of rsfraction.
and which are also frequently the pre-
cursors of suicide and insanity, Mr..
Pronger asks consideration for the
theory that it is defective eyes which

of the cases of suicide and insanity
which occur.-London Leader.

ADVENTURES OF, A BANKNoTE

ADVENTURES OF A BANKNOTE.
A lady passing down the Rue Richie
lieu had the misfortune to lose pock-
etbook containing, among other valua-
bles, a one thousand franc note. The
pocketbook was picked up by a chair
mender named RenSud, who lives at
Montreux. He placed it very carefully
in his pocket and proceeded home. 1t
Is not often that chair mender has
occasion to change a note for that
amount, and Renaud, recognizing the
impossibility of turning it into gold
without detection, agreed with friend
to to the business for the consideration
Of one hundred francs. This friend,
Licien Mathern, also a chair member,
was in his turn filed with apprehen-
sion. The difficulty was solved with
the aid of a horticulturist, named ST.
monnet, who kindly consented to buy
himself horse for three hundred
francs and return the change. Renaud
was thus richer by six hundred francs.
All might then have gone we'll if, two
days later, it had not been discovered
that the horse had been stolen from a
dealer at Meaux. This led to the ar
rest of the trio, and later In the day
the police put their hands on the horse

RYAN AND THE Eo1J1rAR1,E

According to friends of Mr.. Ryan,
who are close enough to him to make
their explanations interesting, that
financier had three motives in acquir-
ing the Equitable stocks from the
Hyde estate. One was, to check the
financial disaster which he saw i'm
pending. If this uneasiness had con-
tinued it would have affected disas-
trouslN other insurance companies, and
the banks, trust companies, and other
units that make up the financial
machine. Mr.. Ryan had acquired
railroad, industrial and financial in
terests, among the greatest in the
United States. He did not view with
complaceney the prospect of a con-
fusion in the financial world. The
second motive, from this sympathetic
point Of view is that he saw rival

BEATEN NATIONS SLOW PAY.
Modern Instances Where War Indem-
mites Were Demanded.

Modern Instances Where War Indem-
mites Were Demanded.
The paying of an indemnity is COM
parat:vely new thing. Before the
Napoleonic wars nations seldom fought
but for the sake of conquest. The VIM
ming party took whatever it wanted in
territory or in certain rights, but did
not insist upon an indemnity.
During the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries the map of Europe was
changed frequently, but the amount of
money paid in indemnities was very
small. Napoleon conquered a large
part of Europe, invented all kinds of
wonderful Kingdoms and provided
kings by recruiting them from his own
dear family. But that was the worst
that befell those countries, and besides
clothing and feeding Napoleon's SOL
diers and going without English goods
the conquered countries did not suffer
otherwise financially. Nowadays, as
nations do not go to. war to conquer
territories, they have to be repaid in
some other way, and as rule the vic
tors ask for full payment for their eX-
penses.
The, older way, however, was the
safer one, for in many modern in
stances the conqueror does not get his
money. 1t is extremely hard, you
know, to get money out of a bankrupt
state. In 1877, when Russia had beaten
Turkey, she asked an indemnity of one
hundred million dollars, the exact
amount of the cost of the war. To-
day. in the year 9O5,1 Russia has not
yet received half that sum. In 1898,
when Turkey nearly conquered Greece,
she began by asking fifty million dol
lars. But King Georges family kindly
interposed and the amount was re-
duced to ten million dollars, but half
of that sum has not been paid to date.
In 1866, When Prussia, to the great
establishment of most of the interested
spectators, beat Austria and her five al
lies, she not only asked for the amouna
of money the war had cost her, but
asked also for a few extra millions to
punish Austria for the trouble she had
given her. Although the war lasted
only two months, Austria had to pay
1872, 100000.
Indemnities have been paid in small
er wars in Asia. China has had to pay
on many occasions, and does not seem
to be any poorer for it. But the one
enormous indemnity which is far ahead
of any other ever demanded was the
one France had to pay to Germany in
1871. And the wonder was that France
exhausted by a warfare almost entire
ly on, her own territory, was able to
pay the milliard francs in a few years.
The indemnity was much more than
the war actually cost the Germans, but
let us not forget that Germany had to
settle an old score. Napoleon probably
had cost them just as much. A great
amount of the French indemnity has
not been used yet, and the purpose for
which Bismarck used it principally was
to develop the secret service of the Ger
man empire.-W ashington Post

ATHLETES AND CONSUMPTION,

There must be no exercise as exer-
else for the consumptive patient. If
you are able and feel like it, amuse
yourself, but don't take exercise to
build your system up. l know I, too,
have heard those stories about men
given up to die, who began work in
a gymnasium and by violent exercise
entirely recovered their health, You
mustn't believe all the physical cul-
ture people tell you, any more than all
the patent medicine people tell you.
They're both in the miracle business.
When the lung tissue is attacked by
tuberculosis it heals, if 1t heals at all,
by this fibrous scar-material filling in
the cavity. No new lung tissue is
formed to relace what has been lost,
and this scar material is useless for
breathing. Suppose you had a deep
cut in your hand and you kept working
that hand violently, how long do you
think it would take the cut to heal?
When exercise is taken or you expand
the lungs you have to work the lnug
tissue just as you work your hand,
and if it is wounded there will be a.
much larger proportion of scar mater
ial useless for breathing when it does
Iget well.-Everybody's Magazine.

LORD ROSEBERY'S VISION.
THE THIRTLETH CENTURY AND
SOME
specuIatiOns About 1t, Together With
n Prophecy.

Lord Rosebery the other day opened
a loan exhibition of relies and treas
ures in the town hall, Aylesbury, or
ganized for the purpose of celebrating
the jubilee of the Bucks Architectural
and Archaeological Society, of which
he is president. Tbs exhibits include
mementos of Louis XVIII, Lord Bea-
confield. Burke, Cowper, oliver,
Cromwell, Hampden. Penn, Milton,
SHAKESPEARE and John Wilkes.
In the course of an interesting ad-
dress, Lord Rosebery, said that there
were more political combinations
Matched in Buks' during the eighteenth
century than in all the rest of Eng
land, excSpt London and Bath. Why
was this? The reason seemed to lie
in the Palace of Stowe and .its inhabit-
ants, Lord Gotham and the great
House Of Greenville.
Finishing with the past, Lord Rose
berry turnsd to speak of the future. In
another century he said, We who are
here shall be objects of interest. in
two centuries subjects of curiosity,
and what shall we be in the thirtieth?
Should our Archaeological Society as
semble then what would be the posi-
ton? That is a problem we cannot
solve. No doubt our successors will
examine with something between a
smile and tear some unique spsci-
men of those portentous hats which
enshrine the brain-pOwer Of respecta-
bility, of our bankers, our legislators
and our divines.

Swiss and organdie dresses can be

Bead necklaces are being much worn
in Paris at present. These may be
strung together at home, using a small
srystal bead between each two of the
plain ones. Quite lare beads are the
fad and short chains of graduated
beads are also used. A pretty chain
for young girl is made by stringing
roses of chiffon tokether at intervals on
a silk cord. These are dainty adjuncts
to an organdie or muslin frock.
Many dainty articles suitable for
bridal gifts are to be had in the shops

experienced housewife knows that lin

president. dated May IL. 1880, about week
after the death of Henry B. Hyde. certify
ing that the Turner loan and additional ad-
var ces for the same account were really
made for the benefit OF the society, as 1t was
the principal shareholder Of the Western
National Bank, and was practically pledged
for it's protection. On February g. 1909,
over five years after the guarantors had in
CURED their obligation to the trust COM
pany President Alexander addressed let
ter to each of the aforementioned individual
guarantorS or their representatives stating
that the Turner loans were made by the
Mercantile Trust Company at the request of
the society, ard that 1t was at the request
of the society that the individual guaran
tors guaranteed the trust company against
loss and that, therefore. the society would
hold them (the guarantors) harmless from
loss on account Of their guarantee.
ION February ii. 1900, the executive COM
mittee of the society passed resolution
authorizing the president to convey to the
individual guarantors the assurances of the
society for their protection. This resolution
Is the only minute on the records of any
committee Of the society or its board of di-
rectors in respect to any connection of the
society with the Turner loans.
ION February IA, 1880, the president of
the society, Mr.. Alexander, also wrote to the
officers of the three aforementioned cor
porations holding certificates of participa-
ton in the TUNER loans, repeating that
those loans were made In the interest of the
society and assuring them that the society
would see that the amounts their companies
loaned would be repaid with interest"
Mr.. Morton states that he has notified the
trust company that he would expect to have
repaid to the society $71S.264 and interest,
which he finds the society has applied on
these loans, and has instructed counsel to
take the necessary proceedings for the re-
nf a ma a
to form definite opinion as to the value of
the properties by which the Turner loans"
are secured.
The u. w. A. No. 3 account loan was re-
paid recently by individuals. Mr.. Morton
discovered, however, that from 1901 to 1904
the Equitable paid S26500O on this loan, and
ne has instructed counsel 'to take the nee
essary proceedings to recover these amounts
for the society.
The Searles loan was originally $4,000
and was reduced to $50, 49, The remaining
collateral on this loan, Mr.. Morton finds. is
without avail.
