-|*h« Causation and the Treatmont
the Disease.
A cataract is a dimming or de
greasing transparency of the chrys-
talline lens of the eye. This lens
serves to refract the rays of light.
It is composed of a soft material
Inclosed in a transparent membrane
called the capsule.
The loss of transparency, which
causes the cataract, may reside in
the substance of the lens or in the
inclosing capsule, but most oom-
moply in the substance of the lens
itself. It mav be v.hat is called
idiopathic”—that is. due to no ap
parent cause—or “t; mmatic, <
to direct injury. It may exist from
birth, but most commonly comes on
late in life, at or *fter the age of
sixty years, and is caused by some
not' yet well understood degener
stive change in the lens substance
The usual term for this form is
“senile cataract,” although the
name is not well chosen, i'or often it
occurs in individuals otherwise vig
orous and giving no other manifest
signs of senility.
It sometimes occurs in those suf
fering from Bright’s disease or dia
betes, but more commonly afflicts
those who are otherwise seemingly
in perfect Health and who present
so other signs of malnutrition.
Heredity seems sometimes to be
an active cause of the opacity of the
lens, but how it acts is as great a
mystery as many other facts of the
hereditary transmission of personal
characteristics or of tendency to
disease. It may indeed be that
heredity has no part in the causa
tion of the disease, and its suc
cessive appearance in parent and
child may be a mere coincidence.
Both eyes are usually simultane
ously affected, although the disease
may occasionally be more advanced
in one eye than the other, find rare
ly one eye alone may be affected.
In the latter case, however, the cat
aract is more commonly due to acci
dent.
Operation for the relief of this
condition is usually not undertaken
until the cataract is “ripe”—that is,
until the loss of transparency affects
the entire lens. A person with
rimple cataract is blind only so far
as the distinction of objects is con
cerned, but still retains the percep
tion of light. If the sufferer is un
able to d:~tin<ruish between lighi
and dark Less, there is some othei
disease present.
There fit three kinds of opera
tion for t!-.* lief of cataract, but
this is ivo‘ place to discuss their

IMITATIVE MONKEYS.
One That Essayed the Roles of Laun
dress and Cook.
Monkeys are the most imitative of
the lower animals, and some very
funny stories are told of their
pranks. Occasionally they get them
selves into trouble by their propensi
ty for doing what they see people do
and then get well punished for their
mischief. A story is told of a pet
monkey owned by a lady living in
London that, seeing the maM wash
ing the laces of her mistress one
day, obligingly offered to help her.
Being angrily repulsed by the maid,
the monkey withdrew at a safe dis
tance, and after giving the girl a
good scolding in monkey chatter for
her rudeness ha started out to see
what he oenld find an his own ac
count in the way of laundry week.
Relating the story, tbs lsoy whs
owned the monkey said:
“Unfortunately the wind—sn ef

himself in the case of the kitchen

THINKING ALOUD.
A Bus® Which Roused Lord "Dudley
and Formed a Friendship.
One of the earls of Dudley, who vna
aflfliptgri to the practice of think! g
aloud, found himself in a very aw.;-
ward predicament on a certain oc vi
sion. He was to spend the evening it
the house of a friend and ordered i.is
carriage early, as he had a long drive
back to his own home.
When the hour arrived the carriage
was not forthcoming. Seeing that
Lord Dudley was considerably anr.uy-
•d by the delay, one of the guests,
whose way homeward lay past his
lordship’s house, politely offered him a
seat in his carriage. The gentleman
was almost a stranger to Lord Dud
ley, but the offer was accepted.
The drive did not prove a very socia
ble one. Lord Dudley took his seat
and immediately reiapsed into silence,
his thoughts apparently engrossed by
some unp.easant subject Presently be
began to speak in a low but distinctly
audible tone of voice, and his compan
ion, to his astonishment heard him
say:
“I’m very sorry I accepted his offer.
I don’t know the man. It was civil
certainly, but the worst Is I suppose
I must ask him to dinner.”
Silence followed this bit of audible
thinking. His lordship was unaware
that he had betrayed his thoughts and
was probably still meditating upon
the —me unpleasant subject when the
voice of his companion broke the sttll-
n—s.
Apparently this stranger was afflict
ed with the same malady from which
his lordship suffered, for he exactly
Imitated Lord Dudley’s tone as he
said:
’Perhaps he’ll think I did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, I would have
done the same to any farmer on his
estate. I hope he won’t ask me to din
ner, for I shan’t accept his Invitation.”
Lord Dudley’s abstraction was all
gone. He listened to the other’s words,
Immediately comprehending the joke
against himself, and frankly offered
his hand to his companion, making
many apologies for his involuntary
rudeness.
The stranger proved magnanimous,
and from that night the two became
fast friends.

THE TAXIDERMIST.
He Stretches Animal Skins Over Plas
ter of Paris Forms.
Recently a prominent taxidermist of
St Louis was taking a party of visit
ors through his establishment He had
some very rare specimens of big game
fish, both of the sea and river, besides
large collection of birds ef every
clime abont the walls.
“Is that stuffed, too?” asked a lady,
indicating the lifelike form of a small
pet dog which sat motionless upon the
hearth.
The taxidermist frowned and return
ed very Indignantly:
Madam, we do no stuffing here. We
stretch our hides over plaster of pads
forms. The day of stuffing is past, and
no up to date establishment does it.”
The party was taken npstairs,
through the rooms where the real taxi
dermy is done. The;/ had expected to
see hides being crammed full of saw
dust, shavings and perhaps hair. No
such thing was seen, however, and in
place of this were men and boys mold
ing out the forms of deer, antelope,
fish and other kinds of animals in the
smooth white piaster. This is done
very much in the came way as the
terra cotta cornices are molded to
grace the corners of buildings. The
hides after going through the cleaning
process are stretched tightly over the
plaster form, which indeed Is more
lasting than the old fashioned manner
of stuffing them.
Even specimens of fish are treated
in this manner,” resumed the taxider
mist, “and you may easily see' how a
skin weaM retain its shape a great
deal lesger ever tire hard, smooth sur
face of the plaster than if a softer ma
terial were crammed 1st® it, , which if
improperly done will bulge and last but
a short time:”—Exchange.
