Rocking the Boat.
One Of these Fools Taught Lesson by a
Sensible Girl.

The fellow who rocks the boat
when 1t is occupied by young wom-
en- is without doubt the silliest fool
in the land. Just what kind of
mania possesses the man who rocks
the boat when he INDUCES in that
kind of "fun" is not known, but
it transcends in imbecility almost
every other kind of insanity. The
chap who rocks the boat is the sort
of fool that deserves to be rowed
to the middle of the river, dumped
into the water and allowed to swim
to shore or sink to a coward S
grave. Too often, however, the
fool who rocks the boat lives to re-
peat the offense.
Occasionally, however, the fell
low who rocks the boat meets with
his Just reward. One of these i'm
beetles was in a boat containing
two young ladies on the Schuylkill
river, near Philadelphia, Sunday.
The idiot began to rock the boat to
frighten the girls, and one of these
promptly struck him on the jaw,
knocking him into the water.
Then she rowed the boat to shore
and the funny man had to swim
for his life, unfortunately being
able to reach shore, although in an
exhausted condition. If all girls
whose lives are imperiled by the
fool who rocks the boat were to
adopt this Philadelphia girls
method of suppressing idiots the
lesson might strike home to others
of this class of minded young
men.-E1.

Marble of Carrara.

The Tuscan town of Carrara is
wholly given up to the marble trade.
1t is situated on the Avenza, about
five miles from the Mediterranean
coast, thirty miles northwest of Pisa;
and it is surrounded by the marble
hills which have made it famous. In
the province of Carrara there are
nearly 1900 quarries, of which over
$40 are near the town of Carrara.
The marble is white saccharoid
limestone, which derives its values to
the sculptor from its texture and pur-
ity. The marble used for this purpose
is only obtained in few of the quar-
ries, where the stone is of particular
ly fine quality.
The quarries are on the sides OF
the mountain, branch of the Apen-
mines, at heights varying from 500 to
$500 feet. They are served by a
mountain railway of ten miles in
length, opened in 1890, which descends
from 1,50O down to the sea.
The marble is exported at the aver
age rate of 10000 ton annually. Be
sides the quarrymen the marble finds
employment for hundreds of cutters,
masons, polishers and other work.
men.
The quarries have been worked
from very ancient times. The Romans
knew the marble as Marmor Lunense,
from Luna, an Etruscan town in the
neighborhood
Transit, until the railway Is reach
ed, is naturally a serious difficulty.
The trucks bearing huge blocks Of
marble from the quarry to the railroad
are drawn by oxen, as many as sew
enteen yoke being sometimes en-
p!oyed to carry one block.
Another difficulty to be met is the
need to cut the marble in large blocks
since for certain purposes-sculpture
for eXample-the smaller blocks are
useless-Detroit News-Tripune.

Beef Soaring.

The following from the Williams
port Sun represents the situation
there and elsewhere: If the
price of beef continues to advance
as it has during the past few weeks
it will soon be luxury confined
exclusively to those who have mon
ey to burn. Already a number of
local meat dealers have practically
boycotted it as an article of mer-
chandise, and tomorrow on the
curbstone market it will be found
that many butchers who heretofore
have handled beef will be selling
other meats exclusively. Whole
sale prices have been advanced
four cents a pound over normal
conditions and the retailers either
have to make big advance, lose
money or stop selling it. The con-
dition does not apply to Williams
port alone, but is general through
out the country. and reports from
some cities say that many retailers
will be forced out of business. One
of the leading dealers in the market
house said that in his twenty
years experience in the meat busi-
ness he had never known beef to
be as high as at present. IF it
was not for the other meats we
handle" he said, 1--WE couldn't do
business. We're not trying to sell
beef now and are urging our Gus
toners to buy other meat, the prc-
es ON which have not advanced.
We are helpless. The packers
have raised the price and we must
do likewise if we want to continue
in business.

COMMON ERRORS ABOUT EYES.
Not So Many Persons With Sore Eyes
as Formerly.

One of the most noteworthy advon-
tages of the present epoch is tAdt
sore eyes are almost unknown; Ike
wise cross eyes. Even so short a time
as a generation ago it was a common
thing to see people of all ages and
conditions with inflamed eyes. AS Tor
stISbismus, one does notice a case OF
it now and then, but it is very excep-
tional.
A generation ago cross eyes were
regarded as a hopeless misfortune. A
child thus afflicted was obliged to go
through life with one eye looking in
ward or outward, as the case might
be. 1t was not only a deformity, but
misfortune in other ways; for a
person who is badly cross eyed sees
out of only one eye.
Nowadays, however, save in rare in
stances, the matter can be set right
by simple surgical operation. It Is
mainly for this reason that one sees
SO few persons who are cross eyed,
as compared with a few years ago.
AS for sore eyes, they are cured, or
prevented by glasses which correct
the troubles, such as near sight or as
tigmatism, which are the cause of the
mischief
Perhaps the most curious of the
many absurd popular notions about
eyes is that which causes people to
refrain from wearing needed glasses
for the reason that "if they once put
them on they will always nave to use
them" In such belief there is
only one germ of truth. When
glasses that are needed have once
beep adopted, nobody is ever willing
to give them up, simply because the
Improvement of vision, or gain In
comfort, is such that they quickly
make themselves Indispensable.
There is scarcely anything about
which popular ignorance is so pro-
found as it is in regard to eyes. Ev-
er SO many people will confess 10
wearing glasses for astigmatism: but
ask one of them what astigmatism is
and the answer, if any is a random
guess. Yet astigmatism is simply an
irregularity in the curvature of the
cornea, which is set in the front OF
the eye like Il watch glass. One often
hears it said that oculists occasionally
take out eyes, clean them, and put
them back; yet nothing could be more
impossible, without destroying sight.
When "old sight" comes, as it does
to all normal eyes at fifty years or
earlier, complaint is made that the
sight is failing; but the fact is that
the eyes are as good as ever, but
need mild convex glasses to help the
focus at the near point Cataract is
supposed to be a film over the eye,
whereas it is really an opacity of the
crystalline lens behind the pupil. TO
such absurd beliefs, indeed, there is
no end

According to the claim of the ell

by Psychologists, and while the

that it is being carried too far and
