It Is characteristic of almost all the
prisoners except the drnnks that their
chief concern is to secure a delay. They
plead and beg for an adjournment,
which they know will only postpone
the inevitable for a day or two, and
that nltliougb, through their, inability
to obtain bail, they will" hare to stay in
prison Just the came. The most plausiblc
explanation is that they all are
fatalists, always hoping that something
unexpected may turn up to stave off
the Impending catastrophe. The
drunks, on the other hand, are more
eager to face the arbiter of their fates,
knowing that nothing worse than a fine
is likely to befall them and that the
sooner it is imposed the sooner it may
be paid or served off. And then thero
jr' is the chance, if the magistrate is in
|f good humor, .that they may get away
unscathed at once.
As a r\de, although not seldom still
In their mips, they are loath to mnke
any incriminating admissions. "No,
sir," protested^* rtjnn who kept himself
from falling over by holding on nervously
to the4 bar; "I'm not drunk.
'cause* no one's tlrunk who's hot falling
all over himself." Excuses of the most
wonderful kind, some^rf them really
ingenious, others merel^-ldiculous, are
put forward when tho futility of feigu
ing" innocence has been ellscovereel. The
cleverest explanation of that kind that
I ever heard was advanced by a man
who, when taxed with having displayed
unmistakable signs of intoxication,
simply replied that ha .was a
' painter by trade.
- "That has nothing to do with your
condition,'' said the magistrate.
"Of course It has," rejoined the prisoner.

I was boozy."?-Edward Iliorkman in

HE WORKED THE BANKER.
How n Clover Merchant Killed Two
Bird* With One Stone.
Rcccntl3* a wealthy merchant In TarIs
who does ail extensive business with
Jupnn was informed that n prominent
firm in Yokohama had failed, but the
numc of the firm he could not learn,
though ho was most nnxious to ascertain
whether it was the one with which
he did most of his business in that elty.
He could have learned the truth by
cabling, but Instead he went to the
man, a well known bnnker, who had
received the news nr.d requested him
to roveal the name of the firm to liim.
"That's a very delicate thing to do."
replied the banker, "for the ne\vs is
not official, and if I gave you the name
I might Incur some responsibility."
The merchant argued, but in vain,
and finally lie mndo this proposition:
"I will give you." ha said, "a list of
ten firms In Yokohama, and I will ask
I 3*011 to look through (t and then to tell
I me, without mentioning any name,
whether or not the name of the firm
which lias failed appears in it. Surely
you will do that for me?"
"Yes," said the banker, "for If I do
not mention nn3' name I cannot be held
responsible In any way."
Tbo list was made. The banker
looked through It and as lie handed It j
back to tbo merchant Raid, "The name
of the firm which has failed Is there."
^"Theh I've lost heavily," replied the
merchant, "for that is the Arm with
which I did business," showing him a
name on the list.
"But how do you know that Is the ?
Arm which has failed?" asked the
banker in surprise.
"Vary easily," replied the merchant
"Of the ten names on the list only one '
is genuine, that of the Arm with which
I did business. All the others are Actl- 1
tious." ^
PeltlnR Vlltnice Names.
"The Street of the Roasted Corn" Is t
one of the curious names of streets In
Peking and suggests the singular and i
often confusing names given to Chinese
villages. Ilers are a few village
names taken from an area of a few
mlfcs square: "Horse Words Vllloge,"
jfrom a tradition of a speaking animal;
' Snir Family Bull Village," "Wang
Family Great Melon Village," "Tiger
Catching Village," "Horse Without a
Hoof Village," "Village of tho Loving
I and- Benevolent Magistrate" ana the
I "Village of the Makers of Fine ToothJ
ed Combs."
Arthur H. Smith In his book on "Village
Life In China" says that n market
town on the highway, the well of
which afforded only brackish water,
was called "Bitter Water Shop," but
aa this name was not pleasing to the
ear it was changed on the tax lists to
> "Sweet Water Shop." If any one asked
how it was that the same fountain
could thus send forth at the same time
waters both bitter and sweet, he was
, aniwared, "Sweet Water Shop la the
Bitter .Water SUoj?," _ ^

Speak Kindly Wards Now.
Id the course of our lives there nnist
be many times when thoughtless
words ore spoken by us which wound
the hearts of others, and there are also
many little occasions when the word
of cheor is needed from us and we aro
silent.
There are lives of wearisome monotony
which a word of kindness can relieve.
There Is suffering which words
of sympathy can mako more endurable.
and often oven to the midst of
wealth and luxury there are those who
listen and long in vain for some expression
of disinterested kindness.
Speak to those while they can hoar
and be helped by you. for the day may
come when all our expressions of love
and appreciation may be unheard. Imagine
yourself standing beside their
last resting place. Think of the things
you could have said of them and to

THE SENSE OF SIGHT J
HOW AN INFANT SLOWLY LEARNd
TO EXERCISE IT.
Power Only (<> 1)1 nt I iikii I? >1 Ilrtneen
LIkIiI nud OnrknoMM?The Development
of (he Power of Vinton.
The sense most early exercised by
tlio iiowln vn infant is the sense of
s!;;h(. hut i< t llvst it has the power only
to distinguish li^lit from darkness and
is in comparison with its Inter development
blind, while in many of the
lower creatures the seuses are at birth
fully developed.
What a difference there Is between
fllP llllll nvo rvf fill* IwiU'liAPii It if?> nn/1
tho sharp vision of the young chick,
which i.i ahlo to pick up with precision
:t grain of corn or even snap up a tly
while the eggshell may be still sticking
to its back! The eye of the infant,
however, is developed very gradually,
and during infancy and childhood it
learns how to see. In the first few days
it notices thf difference between light
and darkness when the light Is very
intense, and it may even knit Its browin
sleep if a bright light bo brought
close to Its fe.ee.
On the same principle a striking
bright color will also be noticed when
held close to the face.
In all these cases, however, the infant
follows the object by turning its
head and not by tlio movement of the
eyes.
The eyelids open and shut from birth,
hut they are not always moved at the
same time with the movements of tho
eyeballs until the infant has reached
the second or third month. Under two
or three months of age infants do not
wink when tho hand or an object Is
waved before the face, because they
do not see tlie hand distinctly.
One of the remarkable poluto of Interest
In the development of the Infant'.!
power of vision is tho way in
which it learns to appreciate tlie oblects
seen. It has to learn to discover
the distance of objects, tlielr shape,
size, character, etc., and this it docs
with the assistance of the sense o?
touch.
The face of the mother or nurse is
made fuuillinr in that it is brought so
close to the Infant's face.
After the infant has learned to seo
objects distinctly at the distance of
several feet It begins to use both eyes
In common. At first the eyes net independently
of each other, so that it undoubtedly
has double vision nnd sees
everything double. This double vision
can bo produced by many at will by
looking "cross eyed."
The infant having reached the point
wheu it sets an object clearly, it must
also begin to understand objects of
three dimensions?that is, to lltul out
the difference between a flat surface
nnd a solid body. Here the sense of
touch also assists. The Infant grasps
an object and. putting it to its lips and
face, satisfies itself as to the shape,
character, etc.
It is interesting In this connection to
note some cases in which a person horn
blind recovers sight when grown.
In one case a young man who had
lost his sight in early infancy was so
completely blinded that he could not
distinguish even the strongest light
from darkness.
After on operation on one eye had
been successfully performed he began
to see objects without understanding
them?not being aide to Judge their
distances from his eye?and he felt as
If everything was touching his eye, so
that to touch an object lie at first
would put one finger or the hand up
before ills face, pointing at the object
aimed at, ami rcacli forward until his
linger came In contact with the object.
After lie had recovered the use of
both eyes he began to find out that
everything was not fiat, hut that many
things had a cortain thickness ns well
as length and breadth, and In this way
he began to see solid objects.
Ibit even for a year or two after complete
recovery lie was unable to dccldo
whether a certain tlgure was a tint surface.
as in a painting, or a solid body.
lie was also obliged to learn the different
animals nnd objects, not knowing
the difference between a eat ami a
dog until lie had touched them.
We all go through Just the same process
of learning how to see in infaift-y.
The child may lie two or three years,
or even older, before It lias control over
its eyes and can judge of the distance
of objects in the room, etc.
The rare of the eye is a question of
great Importance for mothers nnd
nurses. The eyes of newborn infants
should bo carefully washed with fresh,
clear water, and if anything unusual
is noticed the physician should bo seen.
Tlio infant's eyes are specially to be
protected against too bright a light. It
Is by no means an uncommon thing to
see a nurse wheeling a young Infant in
the carriage while the t"lght sun is
pour I into tlio child's eyes. This does
not argue against taking Infants into
tlio tsun when tlie weather is not too
warm, but tlie eyes should always bo
protected against the bright glare,
whether direct or reflected.
t Overplayed Tliomselvea.
"Confound it!" exclaimed the sallow
dyspeptic in the ttfth row, under his
breath. "We've overdone the applause.

bowing her thnnks, she's going to sing
