WHY EYESIGHT FAILS
INFERIOR ARTIFICIAL LIGHT FIRE.
QUENTLY THE CAUSE.
IIIumlnants OF the Past, One and All,
Have Serious Defecte-Acetylene
Gas, with Its Clear, Unwavering, Yet
Soft Flame Cannot Hurt the Eyes

Chicago. June 20.-No one can
go into our schools or meet
group of children on the street
without noticing how large a number
of them wear spectacles. The proper
ton seems TO increase yearly, and
there are many more who ought to
wear glasses. The experience Of one
teacher might be duplicated by the
score. She knew Alice was inatten-
tive and she thought she was unusual
ly stupid. She said so TO the principal
and sent a note TO the mother, re-
questing that the c.ild be helped at
home If she wished her TO keep up
with her class. One day after black
board explanation, the teacher called
upon the child and found that she
had not seen what had been written.
She was kept after school and by dint
of much sympathetic questioning Miss
G. found that Alice had never been
able to see what was put on the board
and that her head had ached so often
and so hard that she frequently failed
to hear what was said.
Such a condition may be caused by
lack Of proper food, but in our Ameri-
can homes il is usually due TO the
poor quality of the artificial light. The
yellow, insufficient light OF the ordi-
nary kerosene lamp, with its smoky
chimney. is about as bad for the eyes
as can be imagined. The fickering
light from a coal gas jet is but little
better, and even the electric light,
brilliant as it usually is, has an un-
steadiness due to variations in power,
and a glare peculiarly trying TO the
delicate nerves of sight. The compar-
atively new illuminant acetylene gas
produces as nearly perfect an artificial
light as has yet been found. 1t gives
clear white, unwavering light, very
brilliant yet perfectly soft, and so
nearly like the rays of the sun that
even colors appear as in daylight.
Fortunately, acetylene is very easily
and cheaply produced, and the simple
apparatus necessary can be purchased
and installed in any home at a very
moderate cost, and the acetylene can
be piped TO convenient points in the
house where a light is needed. 1t is
then lighted and extinguished and used
exactly like common city gas.
Acetylene is rapidly coming into
common use in homes, churches
schools and institutions of all kinds
and it is reasonable to expect that as
its use in the home increases, there
will be fewer defective eyes, particu'
larly among children. Poor eyesight
and the many ills resulting therefrom
will undoubtedly be much reduced by
the use of this new illuminant.

CHRISTENING CUP OF GOLD.
Extravagant Present Ready for Some
Heir to Millions.

Heir to Millions.
For the baby born with a gold spoon
In its mouth and which is to grow up
to dine on gold dinner services. there
is a christening cup Of gold floating
around New York just now. The cup
being valuable, is not made In
the form of handled mug, useful
only for infancy, but like a regular
tea or coffee cup with saucer and
spoon tc match. The set was made
in Paris upon the order Of grandee
Of Spain, and was intended as gift
at the christening of the infant son
Of one of SPANS highest officers. II
is in empire design, the cup in grace
full lines with a standard and handle
raised above the level Of the cup at
the top. This handle is in the de-
sign of lion, supposedly the lion Of
Spain. The saucer and spoon agree
with the style of the cup. For some
reason the grandee, the high officer,
or circumstances fell out, and the pre-
sentation was never made. Now the
cup has drifted to New York, in the
hands of private people, and is wait
ing TO be purchased for one Of New
York's millionaire babies for $500

RAILWAY RATE LEGISLATION.

At the biennial convention or the
Order OF Railway Conductors recent
ly held at Portland. Oregon, resolu-
tons were unanimously adopted voic-
ing their sentiments as TO the effect
OF proposed railway rate legislation
on the 100000 railroad employees,
whom they in part represented. These
resolutions Endorse the attitude OF
President Roosevelt in condemning
secret rebates and other illegalities,
and commend the attitude OF the
heads of American Railways. who,
with practical unanimity. have Joined
with the president on this question"
They then respectfully point out TO
Congress the individuality OF legis-
lation vesting in the hands OF COM
mission power over railway rates.
now lower by far In the United
States than In any other country,
because such regulation would result
in litigation and confusion and In
evitably tend TO an enforced reduc-
ton IN rates, irrespective of the ques-
ton Of the ability of the railroads 10
stand the reduction, especially in view
OF the increased cost of their supplies
and materials" They further protest
ed against such power being given to
the present Interstate Commission
because "the proposed legislation is
not in harmony with our idea OF
American Jurisprudence, inasmuch as
1t contemplates that a single body
shall have the right TO investigate,
indict, try, condemn and then enforce
its decisions at the cost of the car
riers, pending appeal, which is mani
testify inequitable."
The conductors base their demand
for only such legislation If any, as
would secure and insure justice and
equity and preserve equal rights to all
parties concerned" on the ground that
the low cost of transportation "!s the
result of the efficiency Of American
railway management and operation
which have built UP the country
through constant improvement and
development of territory, while at the
same time recognition has been given
TO the value of intelligence among en-
ployes in contrast TO foreign methods,
where high freight rates and lowest
wages to employees obtain"
In pressing their claim against leg
islation adverse to their interests,
they point out the fact that 1.-THE
freight rates of this country average
only two per cent of the cost OF arti-
Giles 10 the consumer, thus making the
freight rate so Insignificant a factor
in the selling price that numerous
standard articles are sold at the same
price in all parts of the country"

SAVED CHILD'S LIFE.
Remarkable Cure of Dropsy by Dodd's
Kidney Pills.

kinney Pllls.
Sedgwick, Ark, June 19.-The case
of W. S. Taylor's little son is looked
upon by those interested in medical
matters as one of the most wonderful
on record. In this connection his faith
er makes the following statement:
Last September my little boy had
dropsy; his feet and limbs were swol
len to such an extent that he could
not walk or put his shoes on. The
treatment that the doctors were giving
him seemed to do him no good, and
two or three people said his days
were short, even the doctors, two OF
the best in the country told me he
would not get better. | stopped their
medicine and at once sent for Dodd s
Kidney Pills. gave him three Pills a
day, one morning, noon and night for
eight days; at the end OF the eighth
day the swelling was all gone, but to
give the medicine justice, gave him
eleven more pills. | used thirty-five
Pills in all and he was entirely cured.
| consider your medicine saved my
child's life. When the thirty-fve Pills
were given him, he could run, dance
and sing. whereas before he was an
invalid in his mothers arms from
morning until night"

Washington will be the scene of the
peace negotiations between Russia and
Japan. Japan refused to go TO Europe
and Russia was unwilling to meet
Japan in the far east. The powerful
influence OF France was eXerted 10 as
sist Russia in sending the negotiations
to some European capital preferably
The Hague, and if not The Hague,
then Geneva. Japan preferred Wash
ington and Russia hoped that the in
fluenee of the president, who preferred
The Hague, would result in the selec-
ton of that place. Finally Russia
acquiesced and Joined Japan in the
request that Washington be selected.
The announcement came in the form
Of an official statement issued by Sec
rotary Loeb by direction of the presl-
dent, as follows:
When the two governments were
unable TO agree upon either Chefoo or
Paris, the president suggested The
Hague, but both governments have
now requested that Washington be
chosen as the place of meeting ana
the president has accordingly formally
notified both governments that Wash
ington will be so selected.
Pressure is being brought to bear
upon Japan to induce her 10 fix the
sum which she will demand as an in
demnity for the pending war at as low
a figure in cash as is possible in the
circumstances. This pressure is being
exerted especially by European gov
ernments, but President Roosevelt. 1t
is intimated in an important quarter,
also has advised the Japanese govern
ment that moderation in her demand
for cash indemnity not only would
facilitate the negotiation of peace
terms, but would be regarded by the
powers with particular favor.
The payment by Russia Of any such
cash indemnity as billion dollars not
only would embarrass seriously the st.
Petersburg government, but probably
would disturb the finances of the en-
tire western world. Indeed. it has been
suggested that such a payment TO all
intents and purposes might render
Russia practical bankrupt. The opin-
ions and views of the United States
and other powers on this subject have
been permitted to reach the principal
advisers of the Japanese emperor.
