WHY THEY SEE DOUBLE.

A scientific writer has given his opinion
why drunken men see double. In the first
place, 1t is essential that the elevated"
party must have two good eyes. No
amount Of liquor would make a one eyed
man see two half dollars where only one
exists.
When we wish to distinctly we ad-
just the eyes by converging them more or
less so that the image falls upon the sensi-
tive point OF the retlna. If the object is too
far of to enable us to get distinct image
In either eye the eyes are so constructed
that they can bring the object nearer. or
we can by contracting the eye muscles
bring the retina nearer the lens, thus get
ting a clear sight OF the object
Both eyes may be moved either upward
or downward or to the right or to the
left, but it is impossible to direct one of
them upward and the other downward IF
ages fall on the sensitive point of the cor
responding retinas we get in the brain a
sharp image. If, however, from any cause
we are not able to move the eyeballs so
as to have this image fall squarely on the
retina we see double.
porary or permanent paralysis of the mus
cles of the eyeballs For permanent paral-
ysis there may be GA.y one of several
causes. Excessive use of alcohol or to-
bacco will produce temporary paralysis

Under the new scale the rates are: One

MATCHES.

Three millions OF matches according to the
statisticians. are turned out every minute
of the twenty-four hours of the day by the
civilized natives of the earth. This is a
consumption of seven billions a year, and
it is said that half of them are burned in
the United States Matches are cheap and
very insignificant compared with some
other articles of wood, but the manufact-
urers complain that they are beginning to
find the raw material for their product
scarce. Only the choicest portions of the
best trees are suitable. Sapwood knotty
or cross grained timber will not do. In
stead of being a by-product of other arti-
cles of manufacture, the little match is
turned out at hundreds of mills over the
objects like doors, sash shingles, siding
posts and cord wood. The pines, linden,

BRITISH RAILWAY WAGES.
They Look Small in Comparison with
American Figures.

Consul Walter C Hamm, at Hull, in a
recent report, gives a summary Of one of
the awards Of an arbitrator in the dispute
between English railway companies and
their working forces concerning wages and
hours of work. He writes:
These differences existed in the case Of
nearly all the railroads in the north and
east of England, and threatened at one
time to result in a general strike. They
were happily referred, however. to arbi-
traitors, who are now giving their award
The principal points of the award In the
case of the North Eastern Railroad Com
pany are as follows:
I'm the locomotive department the hours
OF drivers and firemen working $50 train
miles per shift, which at present are ten
per day, are reduced by the award to
nine per day, excluding one hour rest in
the middle of the shift. The wages of fire.
men, which on the present scale begin at
"a cents and reach maximum of 81 20 per
day in eleven years, are altered so that
the maximum is reached in eight years
Cleaners at present begin at 81 43 per week.
and rise to a maximum of 81 81. By the
award the maximum is raised to 81 Sc. So
far as the necessities Of the service will
allow, drivers, firemen and cleaners are
not to be called out on duty without an
interval of at least nine consecutive hours
between the finish of one shift of duty and
the beginning OF another shift of duty.
''The concessions to the company are that
the maximum wage for engine drivers reg
uiarly employed preparing and round
house work is reduced from 81 SO to 81 SO,
and for regular shunting drivers from 81 81
to 81 45 a day. These reductions. however,
do not apply to men who are at present
employed on these two classes of duty, but
only to future appointments. AS to the
time allowed for preparing and stabling en-
gines. the award allowed for the large
types of engines ten minutes more for pre-
pairing and ten minutes more for stabling,
but for other tender engines there is no
change. For tank engines the time for
preparing is reduced five minutes, and for
