TIE TEXAS MUSTANG.

Mr.. Murray, the ex-preacher, writes
enthusiastically to the Boston Herald
in favor of the little Texas mustang:
Texas is just the place for the bust
ness, and the tough little mustangs are
the right stock to take hold of for i'm.

their origin back to 90 race of equine
kings and queens, and have only dete.

n RUSSIAN DRINK.

Koosmos, or "kumyss," the Russian
drink, is made Of milk, sugar and yeast.
In Russia mares milk is used, but here
they take that of the COW. 1t is put up
in bottles with patent shoppers, and, SO
highly effervescent is it, that the only
way to open bottle without losing the
greater quantity of its contents is to
turn it, head downward, in a pitcher,
close the top of the pitcher with cloth,
and then, inserting the hand, remove
the clasp from the cork as gently as pos.
sibls. Its nutritive value is very great,
and it is not now widely known, on ac-
count Of its expense, as generally sold.
After the sugar and the yeast-an ounce
Of sugar and . piece of compressed
yeast about the size of a pea to each
quart of milk-has been added, the fluid
is allowed to stand in the bottles, up-
corked (the bottles not quite fulD, until

According to careful Investigations,
the longest sea-waves observed appear
to have been little more than 200 yards
in length, with period of about eleven
seconds. The highest regular sea-waves
accurately observed appear to have had
. height of not more than forty feet.
The highest waves are generally very
long; but, for that very reason, they are
not the deepest. It is believed that the
greatest slope Of the external surface of
a wave in the open sea never reaches 80
degrees, and seldom exceeds Is degrees.
1t is possible that in q storm there may
he short portions Of wave-surface ex-
ceptOnally steep, a. the result Of super
imposed waves, and these may be very
dangerous to boats but they do not oc-
cur at all In simple swells, nor do they
determine the slope of the large under
lying wave from which . ship receives
its motion. Moreover, the vessels own
depth carries it below the surface wave,
and the mean effective wave acting upon
the ship is always less steep, especially
in the case of abort waves, than in the
surface wave.
From these facts We see that the we'll
known waves which ''run mountain high"
have their existence only in the imagi-
nation Of the poet.

MOST REMARKABLE EYES.
Miraculous Recovery of Sight-One Eye
Telescope, the Olher IL Microscope.

INtDNNA Va ChS ~ I"
Telescope, the other Microscope.
Last winter a gentleman living near
Litchtleld, Conn, took hls daug litter,
sixteen years OF age, Oh sleigh ride.
The day was cold, but very sunny. On
their return the girl com planned OF her
eyes. The trouble grew worse, and
hnally the girl Was kept IN dark room
and there remained with no ray OF hight
until a tew days ago, when she expe-
renced peculiar sensation which sac
describes as follows: 1T seemed as ii
my eyes We're running ont, or part OF
them. Putting my nand up To my
eyes, | could teel something coming out
over my lower eyellds winch took
hold OF and pulled out. 1t gave me
some pain. to do so, hut almost lmmedI-
ately my eyes felt better. Instead OF a
smarting sensation when | wlnked, they
felt coof aid natural, aud it was a pleas
ure to wink them. Then came the
thought, why, my eyes are better,
and / believe | could bear the light, ,
which thought was so impressed upon
my mind that | was determined to try.
Hesltatingly | opened the door, when
to my great JOY ! found | was able to
bear the light as well as | ever could.
The feeling that came over me at the me :
ment that 1 found out that 1 could once
more leave the dark, dismal room aud
see the glorious sunli, h a. ain was so
overpon erlng that | gave one scream OF
JOY, aud then tainted away.
Now comes the strangest part OF the
story. Six months ago the girls eyes
were straight and natural; now the
girl is cross-eyed, but she pays no at
tention to that. She sees things just
the same as she always did, but let her
close her right eye aud look out OF only
her left eye, and she can see distance
of eight or ten miles, and distinguish
things as well as an ordinary person can
only sixty rods away. She is able to
look clear to the lake, distance OF
three and half miles, and identify any
one, describing their dress even. The
distant hills are brought close TO her,
and she can see the farmers getting in
their hay, even counting the number OF
heaps, which, in an air line are seven
miles from her. To test her, a field
glass was used, aud her sight would far
outreach any object that could be seen
with the glass. If she closes her left
eye and looks out of the right, then she
cannot see anything except close to her,
but that eye is a perfect microscope.
She is able to distinguish things that
the natural eye cannot see. The point
of needle looks as blunt as a crowbar,
and it is wonderful to hear her describe
the beautiful colors of flies and other in
sects. To her the hairs on persons
head look as large as darning-needles,
and in the finest pieces of linen she can
count bean poles. The moment she
opens both eyes they assume the cross
eyed expression or shape. and then she
sees again as any other person. 1t is
the intention of her father to take her
to New York at no distant day to let
some of the celebrated physicians see
this wonderful phenomenon. The girl
herself is very bright, pretty girl, but
very timd.
