A foreign scientific periodical re-

Some time since Il lady called upon
celebrated ocullst in order to consult
him on account Of her eyes, complain
ing their power of vision had III late
considerably diminished. At glance
the doctor saw that she was a lady of
rank and wealth. He looked at her
eyes, shook his head, and thought the
treatment would require much time, as
there was reason to fear amaurosis in
her case. He must advise her, first
Of all, that as she. had informed him

daily.
The lady then rented an elegant
mansion, moved into the city, and the
physician was punctual in his attend

thus days run into weeks, and weeks
into months. The cure, however, was
still coming. The physician tried to
console her.
One cay the patent hit upon a
curious scheme, and she waited not
long to carry it into effect.
" She procured for herself very poor
and old attire, put hood of tremend-
GUS size upon her head, took ON old

hand, and in these habiliments she
visited her physician, selecting for the
purpose very rainy day. She had SO

guising herself that the eye even of a
lover could scarcely have recognized
her. She was obliged to wait a long
time in the ante-rooIn of her physician,
with many others, who, like her, were
seeking relief. At last her turn came.
"Weli, my good woman, what have
you to complain off"
"Very bad eyes, DOCTOR" she an
swered.
He took her to the light, looked into
her eyes, but failed to recognize his
patient. Struggling his shoulders, he
said:
"Your eyes are we'll enough"
"Well!" she said.
Yes; know what am saying.''

The lady now arose, and in her GUS
tomary voice said: "Sir, you are

The face the sage counselor made is

''Gracious, madame!" he commenced
to stammer an apology, but the lady
would not listen to him, and left him

Last September, a Mr.. A. w. Drake,

been taking Il few days previous to his
death. Both are now extant, but, from
some unexplained cause, the ANALYSIS

not strong enough to warrant her

In Il recent article in Hearth and
Home, $. Dodge, writing of laces, says
there are certain peculiar conditions
necessary to the production of perfect
lace. The are, first, the quality of
thread second, the abundance of fc-
male labor; and third the Roman
CATHOLIC religion: Belgium, better
than all other European countries,
possesses the three. Her thread has
not and never had, rival; her peas
ant girls, red-cheeked pictures of per-
feet health, are proverbially indus
trlous ; and the greater number of her
upper and lower classes arc Catholicsf
In the vcstrics of the old churches o.
Flemish land there is wealth of lace
upon sacerdotal vcstments that is be-
yond estimate. It has been collecting
ever since lsabella's days, was wrought
as a labor of love by nuns and other
holy Ladies, and appears upon the
gorgeous apparel of ecclesiastical dig
nitaries on great days of the Church.
But in all the world there is no such
collection of every description Of lace
as ut the Vatican. From France and
England from Spain, Portugal, Austria,

Brussels, Genoese, Argentan, and one
knows not what, have been coming as
gifts to the Church these five hundred
years. There are twelve large rooms
used exclusively as wardrobes for laces

Though great deal of old lace has
come down in families and in ecclesias.
tical establishments, and though lace,
as an heir loom, is guarded as watch
fully as diamonds, no doubt much has
been lost. It has been the fashion ut
times, in different parts of the world,
to bury the dead OF distinguished
families in their lace. This was par
ticElarly the case ut Corfu. To this
day, there are to be found in shops

giant workmanship, conspicuous for

the girls work III hour longer, and
their average receipts are five francs a

is done by the piece. But it is an I'M
healthful and uncertain industry, sub
ject to great vicissitudes, dependent ON
the tickleness OF fashion, exacting in
it's demands, and making such rcqui.
