“Minute and a Half" Headway.
[New York Letter.)
There is no mo: e curious sight than
the Brooklyn terminus of the great
bridge at 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
The ears are then run at about a minute
and a half headway, as they call it, by
which they mean that two cars are
emptied on the Brooklyn side about
that hour in every minute and a half.
The passengers then descend a stairway
Io the street, but, notwithstanding the
interval of time named, the procession
st people is unbroken during tlie rush
sf business. A constant stream of men
jnd women, seven and eight abreast, is
io be seen descending these stairs.
Test for Short-Sightedness.
[Reyleigh in Nature.]
The increasing prevalence of short
sight is a very important matter, worthy
»f all attention. There is one fact in
connection with it which I avail myself
of this opportunity of mentioning, in
the hope of inducing scientific oculists
to give it further examination. 1 find
that, though not at all short-sighted
tinder ordinary circumstances, 1 become
decidedly so in a nearly dark room, see
ing much better with spectacles of
thirty-six inches negative focus. In a
moderately good light 1 see better with
out the glasses than with them. From
the few observations that I have made,
I have reason to believe that this pe
culiarity of vision is not uncommon.
With the aid of a set of concave glasset
it is easy to try the experiment in *
room lighted with gas. The flamt
should be gradually turned lower and
lower, so as to give full time for the
pupil to dilate and for the eye to ac
quire its maximum of sensitiveness.
English Scientists.
The Medicinische Wochcnschrift
makes the bold statement that English
scientists are so far behind other na
tions in their study of the causes of in
fectious diseases that they are no longer
in a positio n to make anything like a
pertinent criticism upon such re
searches. The cause is attributed to the
English laws practically prohibiting ex
periments on animals.
Genius Not Marketable.
(New Orleans Picayune.]
The truth is that a work of genius is
not in any proper sense a marketable
commodity. It may be bought and
sold: but it cannot be ordered like a
pair of boots, or pai 1 for like a barrel of
ilour. It is of the nature of love and
hope—things that may be lost, but
which cannot be restored for money.
Oysters for the Voice.
[Exchange.]
According to The Indiana Pharmacist
raw oysters not only have a re narkably
wholesome influence upon the digestive
organs, but are highly recommended,
for hoarseness. Many leading vocalists
are said to use them regularly in pre
paring for their appearance in
4«* 0(H»T8S.
Ancient “Concealed Weapons.”
[London Letter.]
In the tower of London are twenty
one specimens of shields, with a pistol
attachment in the centre, the weapon
being a breech-loader, and slightly pro
jecting, so that it would hardly be
noticed by an enemy until it was dis
charged. All these shields were car
ried in former timeo as “concealed
weapons.”

How Often
Have parents not had go id cause to com
plain as to the wear and tear of their chil
dren’s shoes? You are buyin' shoes for
your children all the time, and the strain
an y< ur pockets must have been quite un
comfortable at times. The fault is not alto
gether with the dealer, but with the manu
ufaoturer in the fust place, and with the
purchaser next, who wants to buy usually
cheap, and is attracted by flaming adver
tisements to buy bargaii s in Shoes atl‘,)or33
cents a pair. No matter how skillfully the
advertisement may be gotten up, the shoe
is made to sell, and not to wear. Common
sense must teach you that, if not disap
pointment has done it already. We could
say a great deal more to enlighten the
public on cheaply gotten up shoes, but we
hardlycan add anything new for which they
have not already dearly paid.
WE PROPOSE A REVOLUTION
in the Shoe trade, more especia ly as regards
Children’s Shoes. We have made special
arrangements with manufacturers to make
us as honest Shoes a« can be made, Shoes
that will wear twice as long as Shoes,
told as the best, now wear. If we under
stand our business, and we claim we do,
then we have succeeded in bringing into
this market such goods as no one ever had
and at prices ranging from 95 cents and up
wards.
We propose to stamp every pair with the
date of purchase, so that parents can tell for
a certainty how long the Shces lasted, and
thus verify this statement.

DEAF AND BLIND.
How an Atlanta Woman was
Made to See and Hear.
AN INTERESTING STORY.
Miss Minnie Walla-e resides with Mrs.
George Fickland, 41 McAfee street. Atlanta,
Ga., and from her own lips a Constitution re
porter learned the following story:
Several months ago she became almost to
tally blind and deaf, and could not tasje any
thing except
of intense pain, her joints were swollen and
painful, and eventually her whole body and
limbs became covered with splotches and
small sores. Her appetite failed, and she
gradually lost flesh and strength, and had but
little use of herself, as her limbs and muscles
were paralyzed She, as well as her friends
and those with whom she lived, despaired of
her recovey. Her sufferings, combined with
loss of hearing and taste, and blindness, were
truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use
of medicines seemed powerless. Her dis
ease was blood poison and rheumatism.
As she now seemed well and he arty the re
porter «*sked what wrought such a wonderful
change. , _ .
“I used a medicine recommended by a
friend,” she replied, “and before one b ttle
had been taken 1 began to see and hear. The
second bottle relieved all rheumatic pains
and improved my appetite. When I had com
pleted the use ot six bottles my eyesight and
hearing were fully restored, sense of taste re
turned, and splotches disappeared, sores all
healed, and my strength and flesh restored.
1 now feel as well as I ever did, and my
friends, as well as myself, are astonished.
"What was the Medicine?” asked the re
porter. _ ..
‘‘Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. B. was the
great remedy that a-ted so powerfully on my
disease and cured me. I never experienced
any unpleasant symptoms from its use. and
iis action is so quick that it surprises all.
The reporter then sought a physician who
knew the case, whereupon he handed us the
following lines:
“I examined the above case of blood poison
and rheumatism, before and after being
cured, and certify to the main facts above
stated, and must acknowledge that the B. B.
B. effected a most wonderful cure in this
well-known case. ~
