appearance showed that he was re-
duced to the very depths Of poverty.
His clothes were ragged, his face I'M
shaven, his hair long and matted and
his feet unshod As passed him a
look of recognition came into his eye.
".Nye. old fellow. don't yon know

Have You Diplopia2

Diplopia, as its name signifies, Is the
defect which causes the eye to see two
images Of the same object. or course
the drunkard's temporary diplopia IS
we'll known, but 1t is possible for 4
quite sober person to perceive two key
holes instead Of one, as the comic jour
nals have 1t, and yet be n total abb
stainer. Dlplopla IS usually the result
Of squint or general eye weakness and
IS necessarily a distressing malady. AS
a rule, the defect manlfests itself In
regard to small objects at some dis
taDce-cight feet or so. For instance,
one lamp will be seen slightly above
another or to right or left. AS 4 rule,
the false image IS fainter than the
genuine one, but when looked through
the prism, which made me for the time
being dipoptjc, saw the second image
quite as clearly rs the first, but with
tendency to wander. The farther
away the false image appears from the
true the less distinct Is its outline

A Story of Mark Twain.

When Mark Twain was beginning
his career as humorous lecturer he
one day arranged with woman &C
quaintance that she should sit in q box
and start the applause when he should
stroke his mustache The lecturer
started off so well that he did not need
any such help. however, for he caught
the audience from the first. By and
by, when not saying anything worthy
Of particular notice, he happened to
pull his mustache, and his anxious
ally in the box at once broke into furi-
GUS applause. Mark was all but bro
ken up by the misadventure and ever
afterward carefully avoided employing
such help to success.
