WOMAN'S POWERFUL EYES. When She Turned Them on tho Mo- torman He Simply Did as She
 Requested.

A good-looking woman can make most any man do most anything. A conductor and . motorman on a Co., lumbus avenue car found that out ths other day, relates the New York Press3 The woman in that case was particu- larly attractive. The conductor no- ticed her when she came into the car. and he noticed her again when she went out. He had reason to look at her then. because she gave him so much trouble. She insisted upon his stopping the car at the near side of the street.
 q can't do 1t. madam" he said. re- spectfully. "It is against the rules
 The woman smiled and repeated her request. 'I wish to get of at this side of Eighty eighth street." she said. "It will inconvenience me greatly to be car ried to the other side. We are almost there. Please ring the bell"
 There was no withstanding the in. fluence of those greenish-yellowish eyes. As the conductor explained 1t after wards, "he would have had to stop on that corner if he had died for it." Ac- cordingly. he rang the bell. The wo- man took her own time at getting of. Before she v''s safely landed in the street a truck got stalled across tho tracks. and the car was delayed for five minutes on that account. While wait ing for the obstruction to be cleared away the conductor went forward to in- terview his colleague
 What did you ring for me to stop here for. anyway" complained the motorman. If We had gone on we'd have missed this breakdown"
 'I couldn't help myself" said the conductor. humbly. "She was bound to get off.''
 Gee, Bill" laughed the motorman. yours is bad case. It's my private opinion that you need a guardian"
 That's all right" returned the con- ductor; "just wait till you get pair of that kind of eyes fastened on you, and you'll do something you oughtn't tho same as did" ."
 By and by the car started on. At the far corner it stopped again. A woman stood Tn the middle of the street and signaled to be taken on.
 Will you kindly let me in the front door?" she said.
 Cant do it. ma'am." said the motor- man. "The gates locked. You'll have to go around to the"
 "I prefer to come In this way" said the woman, quietly.
 It took two minutes to unlock tho gate and fasten it again. but the motor man did 1t. When the latest passenger had got comfortably settled the conduc. tor went in to get his fare. She turned upon him a pair of greenish-yellowish eyes.
 q made a mistake" she said. sweetly. "I want 10 get of at Seventy eighth street, West. instead of Eighty-eighth. Of course you won't make me pay an- other fare"
 The motorman heard the altercation and looked back. Great Scott." hs said ifs that the same one?"
 The same one" was the reply. "Who do you think needs a guardian now?"

SLAUGHTER FOR FUR
VAST NUMBER OF BEARING AN. IMALS KILLED EACH YEAR.
Some in Dire Need of Protection tc Prevent Extinction - Those That Are the Most
 Valuable.

Few persons not connected with tho fur trade have any notion of the enor nous destruction of animal life which takes place each year among rbearins animals, or of the extraordinary way ib which the supply of these animals ap. pears to keep up.
 There are only few species which seem to be verging toward extinction; such are the sea otter, the beaver Ovel large tracts of country, certain sorts oi fur seals and west African monkey Northern Asia and northern North America still produce vast quantities of fur and will long continue to do so says an authority.
 Perhaps the most valuable fur in the world is that of the sea otter. formerly abundant on the shores of the Pacific ocean in northern Asia and North Amer. ica. but now in great danger of extermi. protected. Between 1772 and 1774, 10, ,0O( skins of the sea otter were taken in the Aleutian islands, and the fur was SC eagerly sought after that at the end oI the eighteenth century 10000 skins were taken each year.
 The results of such destruction could not be doubtful. The number killei soon fell to 900 each year and in 1867 when Alaska was sold to the United States, it was 700. In 1901 it was 406 while in 1903 Messrs. Lampson & Co. of London, sold 463 skins, hut they hat none in January, 1904, and none in Oc tober. It is not unusual for a sea otte skin to sell for $500, while remarkabl! good skins may bring two or three O. five times that price.
 The only skin which approaches tn, Sea otter in value is that of the black O silver fox. It is said that good skins o the black fox have Teen sold in St. Pc tersburg at from $1 800 to $4 1000. A pal of silver skins in London sold for g ,40l while single skin is said to hay brought 1000.
 The arctic foxes known as white fo and blue fox are in great demand. Il 1903 Lampson & Co. sold more than 20, GOO white skins and nearly 3.700 blu ones. Both these skins seem to be in creasing in value. It is not long az since the price of white fox skins range from s1 to si. They are now said to worth from SIG to s25, while the price ! the blue fox skins runs from $50 to $7o.
 Almost 5O.000 wolverine skins wer sold in London last year at prices rang ing from si to ss for good skins. Of Rus sian sable nearly 3O.O00 were sold, c three times as many as were sold all London in 1891 These expensiv furs run from s25O to s75 in price, br occasionally skins are found whic bring from s250 to s35O each. The S. berian sable. which is much nor Abundant-more than 40, 900 skins hay ing been sold last year-is an inexper sive fur. worth only about 50 cent apiece.
 ! Mink and marten are cheap furs an bring low prices. but the best pine ma ten bring from s750 to sl25O.
 Otter skins again are costly. as si beaver. the supply of which. as has bee said, seems 10 be failing.

SAYS EYE IS KEY TO ILLS.
Many Diseases, Declares Physician, Can Be Laid to Strain on This Organ.

The proposition of a western physi. clan to cure drunkenness by spectacles seems to be simply variation of Dr. George M Gould theory that very many of the physical ills of life are due to eye-strain and may be overcome by correcting this defect. says the New York Globe The latter, well-known writer on medical subjects, of Philadel- phia. has recently published two vol umes of "Biographic Clinics" In which he endeavors to prove that the ill health of Carlyle. Huxley, Browning. George Eliot, Wagner. Spencer and several other famous D sople was due simply and solely to eye-strain. Tho volumes are interesting. but hot by any means convicing. and have been re ceived somewhat skepticaliy by the pro fession. The common symptoms of eye strain are, according to Dr. Gould. headache. insomnia. biliousness. nerv- ousness. dejection. ''indescribable suf- fering." cessation of all symptoms if the eyes are rested. and final spontaneous cure at about the age of GO. when the paralysis of accommodation occurs He states that an abnormaIIy large propor = tion of criminals have serious defects ot the eyes. and 9S per cent of the epileptics he examined suffered from astigmatism- Brain flag and migrain or sick headache are nothing more than eye-strain, and may bo ahSoTusarv- cured hy uiasefc and even temporarily relieved by few drops of belladonna. which dilates the pupil and paraIyzes accommodation.
