TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Necessitating Surgical Operation =
Loving Mother attempts 10 take "a
pair OfShears from Her Child.
PARENTS BE CAREFUL.

Domestic accidents are common to women,
and some Of them are very serious. Mrs. War
ner, Of South Rondout, Ulster Co., N. Y, some
weeks ago attempted to take apair Of shears
from her child, with which it was playing.
slight struggle ensued, in which the point of
the shears entered Mrs. Warmers left eye, en-
tirely destroying the sight. Her family physi-
clan did what he could, but intensely painful
inflammation arose, which, by sympathy, threat
ened the loss OF the other eye. Total blindness
to woman having the care of household is
an irretrieyable calamity. In this strait Mrs.
w. applied to the Well known and skillful sur
geon, DR.. David Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y,
who removed the injured eye by very success
full operation, setting aside all danger from
further harm to the sight OF the other eye.
But, owing to pain and mental distress, her
system needed tonic and restorative medicine.
To do this work the Doctor prescribed ''Kenne-
dy's FayOrite Remedy" which sustained its
reputation and laid a sure foundation of health.
Dr. kennedy's "FavOrite Remedy"
removes all impurities from the blood, regu-
lates the Liver and Kidneys. Cures Constipa-
ton, and all diseases and weaknesses peculiar
to females. 1t is for sale by NIL our druggists
at ONE DOLLAR bottle.

Difference Between &" Cousins. -

The difference between city and
their country cousins is more marked
than most people believe. The first
impression "A man has on finding him
self for the first time in "A great city is of
vague excitement accompanied by a
sense of danger. The multiplicity of
objects appear fantastic TO an eye ac-
customed 10 rural scenery; the uninter-
mittent noises. the entangled yet pur-
poseful movements. and, above all, the
shifting panorama OF unfamiliar human
faces. combine TO throw the visitor into
state OF mind totally strange to him.
And amid so much umultuous life
he sees death everywhere on the look out
for n victim. But II the visitor 10 these
strange regions looks Mt the faces of
those he meets in search OF tome re-
flection of his own perturbation. he
looks in vain.
The countenance Of the city man. as
he threads his way along the streets. is
curiously impAssive. Al first glance
IL appears also 10 be unobservant; but
this is not II. For though he seems to
look at nothing, II soon becomes evident
that he sees everything.
He mechanically informs himself out
OF the corner OF his eye, of everything
that might tend 10 obstruct or threaten
him; and though he passes through a
thousand people withou. encounteriDg
the gaze or treading on the toes OF any
one OF them, he will recognize an ac.
quaintance or calculate to an inch the
rate of speed at which he must make the
crossing in order 10 escape the omnibus
from one direction and the truck from
the other.
Doubtless custom and memory will
account for large part OF IL; yet the
impassive face would probably appear
tar less impassive than il does had not
the contraction OF the facial muscles,
brought about by the constant assaults
OF innumerable impressions and the i'm
possibility Of responding to them all. be
come in a manner fixed.
The houses and the pavements, the
vehicles and the hub-bub, produce an ei-
feet upon these muscles just the reverse
of that exercised by the hills and dales
of the country; they press them in in
stead OF drawing them out--in other
words. the mind resists them instead OF
sympathizing with them.

Ayanomaus Water Snake.

A writer In the Boston Commercial
Bulletin relates the following sad yet
interesting snake story;
While washing decks on the morning
of the fourth day out n small water
snake, most beautifully marked with
gold and green checks, was dipped up
in bucket OF water. We had noticed
large number Of these reptiles, varying
In size from six inches TO three feet long,
floating upon the surface OF the water
when the sea was calm. Naturalists
have been divided in their opinions as
to whether water snakes-and especially
those found In the salt water-were
possessed of sufficient venom TO cause
death as the result OF their bite. The
majority, however, favor the nom
venomous theory, but here we had Il
positive proof that the bite OF some
species is rs fatal rs that OF the rattle
snake or the cobra di capello itself.
One of the men, upon seeing this beau
tiful little serpent. thrust his hand into
the water, and grasping the snake held
it up for the admiration OF his ship
mates. Instantly, with cry of pain,
he dashed it violently 10 the deck.
This was surprise 10 oil, for MS nj ny
times az several members of the crew
had seen these reptiles they had never
supposed them pc assessed of sufficient
animation when taken from their native
element TO infict a bite, even though
they were capable OF 30 doing. The
wounded man continued his work for
some fifteen or twenty minutes, paying
but little attention TO the bite; but his
hand, the forefinger OF which had been
struck by the snake, soon began 10 pain
him. and upon examining it the flesh
about the marks which the iangs had
made was found 10 b. fast changing
color.
The mate then notified the captain,
who had Just come upon deck, and he
Immediately bathed the affected part
with balm of Gilead-that being the
strongest balsam be had, but Of no avail.
In two h ours after the man had received
the bite he was unconscious. and in
four hours he died in violent delirium.
This sad and sudden death served to
dampen the spirits of all on board for n
considerable length OF time.

Words OF Wisdom.

There are few things that we know

Love places genius and fool on a
level.
Man laughs and weeps at the same
things.
One is rich when one is sure OF the
morrow.
Anything serves Ms a pretexs for The
wicked.
The world either breaks or hardens
the heart.
Wisdom is to the soul what health is
to the body.
They do not love that do not show
their love.
The eyes OF other folks are the eyes
that ruin US.
The only disadvantage of an honest
heart is credulity.
Whoever learns TO stand alone must
learn 10 fall alone.
A truth that one does not understand
becomes an error.
Beware OF him who hates the laugh
of a child or children.
Under our greatest troubles often lie
our greatest treasures.
Many n mans vices have at first been

The man of genius il not master ofthe

That 0beiisk.

The New York correspondent of the
Detroit Free Press has q few remarks 10
make about the Egyptian obelisk:
Commander Gorringe has been talking
about the obelisk and letting in some
light, as It were, on a dark spot. People
must not call the venerable shaft Cleo
patra's Needle any more. Gorringe says
she never saw it, and Gorringe ought to
know. Cleopatra was dead, he tells as
when this old block of sandstone,
hieroglyphics and all. was carted from
Greece to Alexandria. Gorringe was
not there at that time, but he has looked
the whole thing up, and is quite sure
that the carting did not take place till
some years alter Clcopatrs's death. So
IL is mistake to call the thing Cleo
patra's Needle, and it is to be hoped thai
people will hereafter remember 10 speak
of 1t as monolith Of the period Of 10th
