The English ideas are prevailing, that
mans fare entities him to seat, and that
railroad companies, and not passengers,
must furnish sittings to their customers.
For this change in public sentiment, the
ladies have only to thank themselves. 1t
is the rarest thing for New York woman
to thank a gentleman for yielding his seat.
1t is accepted with an air of impertinence
that seems to marvel at the impudence Of
a man for sitting down at all. Two wo-
men will occupy three seats, though the
man is standing who yielded his sitting to
the newcomers. If lady comes into a
car with an associate, and gentleman
gets up to make room for her, she will
watch her chances and smuggle in her
male friend, leaving the polite gentleman
to hang on by the car-strap. Men tire of
this; and, tired by their work and anxious
to read their papers, the great majority
keep their seats to the end. 1t is COM
mon thing for mothers to take four-year-
old in their arms, and enter the cars, con-
fidently expecting that no man will be
brute enough to see a woman standing up
with a child. The seat yielded, the child is
slapped down in it, and the woman looks
around for somebody to give her q seat.
These Ii tls tricks are well understood, and,
after standing few blocks, the mother
will sit down and take the child in her lap.
Nobody yields seat in an omnibus nor at
a table. Gentlemen don't give up their
state-rooms because ladies have to sit up;
and there IS growing feeling that if pas
sengers cannot find seats in one car they
must take the next.-Pen and Plosc.

FROM Surprise Valley, California
comes the following story of an old
fellow who got very jealous because
his wife went to ball with a good
looking fellow, and stayed out until
broad daylight. The old chap went
to the Justice of the Peace and told
his story winding up with, al want

"Well," said the justice, you can
write down to Yreka, and see if some

The Justice began to get wrathy. "If
YOU don't want a divorce what
brought you here?" Why, want
an injunction to stop further pro-

The Medical Journal gives an account OF
one of the most ingenious and critical per-
formances in surgery, designed to remedy
the inturning of eyelashes upon the eye
ball, in case of twenty years standing,
the irritation of the lashes thus turned in
being so great that the patient had been
accustomed to relieve himself by pulling
them out. This perpetual irritation had
produced opacity of the cornea of one eye,
and the probability was that the same in
furious consequences would oVertake the
other in a short time, but for a speedy
remedy. In the operation in question a
very fine curved needle was threaded with


a double strand of fine silk, and the point
of the needle was then entered upon the
tarsal border of the lid, at the precise spot
where the respective hairs emerged from
the lid-surface. and. being pushed outward,
the front of the needle made its appearance
through the skin just above the row of
eye-lashes. When the needle had travelled
the lid, the double thread. with moose at
its free extremity, was drawn upon until
the moose was ready to disappear in the lid
tissues. The wild hair was now pushed
gently through this moose, and, as the
Year: 1874

thread was drawn upon until it escaped
from the cutaneous surface of the lid, it
drew the vicious hair in the same direction,
leaving it still attached to its hair bulb
this being specially important drawn
completely through the free border of the
lid in passage made for it by the needle,
the point of the hair sticking out in front
through the needle puncture. The ration
ale of this operation is that the hair drawn
through the lid will, by constant traction
in its growth, change the position of the
hair bulb, and in this way correct the wild
direction which it formerly took.

The matter of the adulteration OF molasses
and syrups is beginning to attract considerable
attention. The allegation is, they are now
clarified by the use Of muriatic acid, D deadly
posion. instead of blood as formerly, and that
this occnrs TO a greater extent with the lighter
grade of syrups. This matter has attrao-
led so much attention in New York that
the Grand Jury took it up, aud ordered the
Board OF Health to investigate all the sugar and
lnoasses refneries in that city. This duty was
commenced on Friday of last week. This is a
serions matter aud those who use syrups should
look to It, This can be determined by very
simple experiment, A tea-apoonful OF syrup
that contains this poison put into a cup of hot
tea will turn it black, while pure article will
discolor the tea very little, :if any. We ask all
families to apply this test, that they may
know whether they and their children are eat
ing poision on their buckwhesl cakes, or pure
syrup. We made the test the other morning
at the breakfast table, and found ieaspoonful
of the syrup we were using turned a cup Of tea
black, showing that it contained the poison by
unmistakable evidence. Families should have
molasses tested before they purchase.


- On Saturday, Conductor Miller brought to
our Office a sample Of the golden syrup, he had
been using in his family, a teaspoonful Of which
turned cup of tea black as lux. The syrup
is beautiful color, but the test shows il to be
foul and poisonous. MIR. Mcdowell, member of
the bar, likewise brought us his test of golden
syrup. A spoonful of that in cup Of tea
makes black and leaden looking mixture,
enough TO make one shudder when he reflects
that he has been putting such poisonous COM
