Look to Your Eyes.
A train was wrecked a few years ago !
on an English railway. One or two f
lives were lost, and many passengers I *
were injured. The engineer was held
responsible, for he had blindly rushed i *
on to an obstacle on the track; although j
the danger-signal was displayed.
"Didn't you see the red light?" he was
asked.
"No; the light was green."
He persisted so obstinately in this assertion
that the officials began to think
that possibly the wrong light had been
displayed. A physician, standing by,
nulled out a red bandana handkerchief
from his pocket.
"What color is that, my man?" he
said. .
" Green, sir."
" About the shade ot grass, eh?"
"Brighter, sir." : *
The man was color-blind. Since then,
it has been made obligatoi'y on all railway
and steamboat employees in England
and France to be examined for
color-blindness. When the lives of
thousands of travelers depend on the
ability of a man to distinguish one color
from another, such a precaution becomes
an absolute necessity.
" The eyes of American children appear
to be exceptionally imperfect,
and a slight defect is enormously increased
by the effort to decipher the (

voives the least strain, they should tell T
their parents, and the case should be at ?

One very frequent defect is a difference
in the lenses of the eyes, which, of
course, gives to each a separate focus. |
This defect produces a series of mysteri- t
ous symptoms in children, which are {
usually referred to every cause but the
right one. ' ' .
"A lad who has this trouble." said '
an eminent oculist, " makes a constant J(
effort to see alike with both eyes. The ,
effort affects the optic nerve; that in ]
turn affect* the brain. Soon the boy
has violent headaches whenever he '
tries to stndy. He grows pale, dull, '
spiritless. His whole nervous system '
is debilitated. Physicians do him no ?

sickly, stupid fellow.' He is then either (

books until epilepsy intervenes. A pair (

Some idea of the enormous traffic on

le lowness of the streams, compelled
le engines to occupy more time in taklg

Major-General Joseph Hooker died suddenly
a tew days ago of an apoplectic stroke at his
residence in Garden City, Long Island. General
Hooker was born in Hadley, Mass., in

around where they lay had a wild and desolate
look. Pillars blown from their places, thick
i partitions of coal rent and ragged, and the
I roof ready to fall at the slighest touch. The
remains of tho three men were hoisted to the

s A Tiger Hunt In Pennsylvania.
a The Philadelphia limes describes an
exciting adventure with a tiger that had
3 escaped from a menagerie and was dis?
covered in Torresdale, about fouiteen
g miles from the Quaker city. About
9 five o'clock in the morning and while it
. was yet very dark, Andrew Hoffmeyer,
s a stone mason, was awakened from his
. sleep by hearing moans proceeding from
i some point not far from the house. At
3 length he roused his wife and Loth lisa
tened. The sounds would break dut at
1 intervals and continue a short time,
J thenc.-ase. Presently, when the sounds
J were renewed, Hoffmeyer sprang out of
3 bed. declaring that he knew it was
^ some one in distress. Dressing himself
hastily he went out into the darkness in
. the direction whence the noise prof
ceeded. It came from the field of a
ti neighbor. Walking across this field he
i presently through the darkness disi\
rprned what seemed to be the bodv of
31 an animal lying close against a fence.
lloffmeyer thought it was a cow suflor
| ing from some hurts, and full of good
j! intentions advanced closer, until he~had
^ ] got within a few steps of the rcn:
cumbent form of the animal, when he
jj J became conscious of two fiery eyes
glaring at him out of the darkness with
i, an expression that belonged to no branch
of the cow species under the sun. To
y say that Hoffmeyer got out of the way
r quickly is to do injustice to the remark s
able physical activity which he brought
to bear on the matter at that critical
0 moment. There was a tree not far distant,
and in his progress toward this dejj
sirable point the grass never ielt the
touch ot his feetl
Having reached the tree, and seeing
j that he was not followed, he deliberated
a moment, then ran toward a shop
where lights were glimmering at that
? early hour. It was States' butcher
a shop. Bursting into the place, where
Mr. States and two or three hired men
were at work, he informed them breathd
lessly of what had happened. At first
they were disposed to discredit his
story. They, however, were joined by
? a man named Eckert, and all going
again to the place, discovered that the
animal was a real tiger. Eckert went
[' back to the houso and got an immense
doubled-barrelled gun used for duckshooting
and heavily loaded with Xo.
5 shot. Armed with this effective
^ weapon, and accompanied again by the
others armed with small bird-guns
e which not one of tliem would venture
r! to fire, they got down by the fence
o a"ain. Bv this time it was about six
.i /O'f.ir.ni- whpn thev reached the place
j the animai had risen from the spot
* ; where lie was first discovered and was
J1 j walking slowly on the other side of the
!" I fence.
.1 It was a tiger, and a very large one.
'* | He moved along the fence slowly until
0 i he came to a point opposite the place
j where the men were standing. Here lie
" i stopped a moment, and, placing his paws
j against a rail, looked over. The men
j promptly proceeded to give him more
i latitude, retreating to the nearest house.
0 j which was occupied by a family named
J Clary. Eokert requested Mrs. Clary to
i. leave the door open, so that in the event
d I of his shot missing its object he could
: retreat inside. The animal meantime
; had taken himself off the fence and was
u leisurely pursuing his way. Going down
J within about thirty feet of him, Eckert
n leveled his gun at him. Just as he was
; about to fire he was stopped by a yell
' from some of the party, who advised
B' him not to risk it, as, if he missed and
.. only served to rouse his tigership, some
" '1 ? lltrno WifU.
. I Ot tliOT WOUIU mat men .ik-o. ..Hurt
; out heeding the request he went a little
? closer. And, while the animal stopped to
a i look at him, took deliberate aim for the
* region of the left shoulder and fired.
' The tiger jumped five or six feet into the
r air and fell dead without a groan. The
J i men with the bird guns promptly rushed
1 ! up and emptied tne eoniems or eacn ana
every additional gun into the dead tiger's
* ] liead, being evidently determined "that
j he should not come back to life a^ain.
i Having done this, and still having
I doubts as to whether the work was
: complete, Mr. States came forward with
j his hxc and battered the animal's head
! almost into a jelly, after which there
' appeared to be but little doubt that he
; w:i3 dead.

A Safe Bule* ! i
After the conclusion of ft lively horsetrade
on Larned street west yesterday a
witness of the transaction asked one of
the traders what sort of a horse he had
got by tbe exchange.
" Oh, just medium?just & common I
sort of plug," was the repl j. g
" And how old is heP" ?
" Twenty years old." js
" But I did not see you examine his I
teeth." ? E
" No, you did not, young man. j |
have traded horses for the last thirty [
years, and I have owned as many as 800 1
different animals. My rule has always
been to mentally calculate the age of the
other man's horse at twenty. In this (
way I make no mistakes and suffer no
disappointments."
" Didn't your rule ever failP"
" ? eu, it aia iau once. j. was truum?
horses in Pontiac, and I made the usual
estimate of twenty years, but the critter
died of old age while I was trying to r
beat a grocer down two cents on the
price of a peck of o&te.?Detroit Free ]

A Blockade tliat Should be Halted.
The egress from the system of waste material
through the natural ohannela shocld be i
rendered iroe, without loss of timo, when a ! a
blockade ia produced by an attack of conatipa- v
tion, a disorder which if it becomes chronic,
is productive of serioaa bodily mischief. 1
Jaundice, severe headaches, nausea, dyspepsia, the
usual concomitants of the malady mentioned,
all indicate that the bodily functions
are materially interfered with. Hostetter's
Bitters is particularly efficacious in cases of
this sort, and renders the habit of body perfectly
regular, it is a medicine greatly to be
preferred to drastic cathartics, which are well
calculated to drench, but unhappily also to
weaken the intestines. We say unhappily,
since such medicines are the favorite resource
of many ill-advised persons, who resort to
them upon the most trivial occasion, and
greatly to their discomfort and injury.

In the inquiry?Which is the
best Liniment for Man and
Beast??this is the answer, attested
by two generations: the
MEXICAN MUSTANG LINIMENT.
The reason is sim- m
' pie. It penetrates every sore, ^
wound, or lameness, to the
very bone, and drfres out all
inflammatory and morbid matter.
It "goes to the root "of
the trouble, and never fails to
cure in double quick time.
