Recovery OF Eyes.ght.
From the Portland relesram.

ABOUT year ago an old miner go
years OF age, by the name of J. C. Chaffa,
residing IN Douglas county, about so
miles northwest of Roseburg, lost the
sight OF his eyes from cataract. The old
gentleman Is very poor and had to depend
on his labor for the means of subsistence.

made up purse for him and he was

the eyeball to remove the "opauue lens -
Assisted by DR.. Harvey, at the National
hotel, two weeks ago to-day, DR.. Pilking-
ton performed Won Graafe's great opera-
ton for the removal of cataract, with SO
much success that the old miner was
to-day enabled to walk alone and una.ded
to the doctors Office, when his eve was
examined by several Of our citizens. Mr..
Chaffa said that he suffered no pain from
the operation, and since that time has
been perfectly at ease He can see quite
distance, though his eyes are not vet
strong enough to bear the full rays of the
sun, but SO confident is he of his perfect
recovery that he will return home by
to- morrow's train. The operation is one

tentious cities.

A Great but Uacomp1eted work.


One day when young Abu Ben-high-
dad was looking about in the great IL
brary of that eminent Arabian scholar,
Sheik Daned bing Macmohammed, his
eyes fell upon twenty large volumes, all
on one subject. He expressed his sur
prise and exclaimed:
"Oh Sheik, tell me, Allah bless us,
what's in them there books? It strikes
me, 0 Sheik, that the writer must have
been fellow of exhaustless wind. "
Thou mistakest, o Ben-high-dad I;
thou art but superficial observer.
Know, young fellow, that these are the
works of the high and mighty Hash Ha-
roun con-found-ed, man who married
early in life and supposed he had there
in attained the correct thing. Now then,
o Ben -high-dad, listen! In those books
are recorded all the complaints and
fault findings which Mrs. Haroun-con-
founded committed to the ears of that
mighty man during their welded life.
And 10 Ben-high-dad. the great Hash
Haroun died, leaving his work, as we

Hereupon the eminent Shiek Macmo-

Natures Sweet Restorer.

DIR. J. s. Jewell, says the Chicago
Times, delivered lecture before the
Young Mems Christian Association at
FarweH hall recently, his subject being
'sSleep and its Derangements." He said
that he knew of no more important SUBJ
ject than that of sleep, and it was impor-
tant that people should know more
about sleep and its arrangements than is
generally known. Sleep was evidently
state in which the brain was principally
concerned. No other part Of the system
was affected by sleep as the brain was.
It was singular affair, he said, to have
a person alive and active drop into a
sudden state of unconsciousness. Yet
that was sleep, for in sleep the mind had,
apparently ceased to act altogether.
Various theories for the cause of the
process of going to sleep had been ad-
vanced. It had been supposed that the
brain became exhausted, worn out from
that constant activity, and then dropped
into what was called sleep.
But his theory was that sleep
was produced by anemia-a lack of
blood for the brain. In sleep there was
always less blood circulating through
the brain; he said, than when person
was awake. When fatigue came on, and
buO 4uulSloual oOuSAt W ldll dS16eQ,
blood ceased to rush to the brain. The
brain became fatigued, just as the mus
cles of the body, sometimes one portion
and sometimes another. This excitation
irrited the nerve fibres of the brain, and
by self-regulating mechanism sleep
was produced. Epilepsy, which snapped
consciousness in the twinkling of an eve.
the speaker held, was substantially
sleep while it lasted. So with fainting,
when the heart refused to send blood to
the brain. He illustrated how he had
produced sleep by pressing upon certain
arteries to prevent blood rushing to the
brain. The fact that some people could
not sleep when they first lay down he
attributed to too rapid flow of blood to
the brain. and he advised various
methods to superinduce sleep. such as
irritating the body with flesh brush to
attract. the current of blood from the
head, and lying on an inclined plain,
with head higher than the lower ex-
tremities.
Brain health, he said, imperatively de-
manded sleep. Restlessness in the early
hours of the night was owing to the fact
that the person had been doing some
thing to cause too much blood to rush to |
to the brain; perhaps overwork. or ex-
from reading or study, was the
cause. Toward morning such persons
might get fitful, broken sleep, but
when they arose in the morning they !
would feel neryeless and exhausted. He
The Corvallis gazette. [volume] (Corvallis, Or.) 1862-1899, 1881-04-08

cautioned his hearers to avoid active
fore retiring. Again he said it was wrong
for persons to retire with q hot head and
coldness in the lower extremities. Sleep
under such conditions was impossible.
Sleeplessness might arise from the inju-
dicious use of stimulants, such as tea and
coffee. Neither of these stimulants
should be taken by nervous persons in
the evening. AS sleeplessness simply
meant insanity, sooner or later, the
speaker said that nervous persons who
could not sleep should use something to
diminish the nerve power. He believed
that chloral, or some Of the bromides,
could be used without any pernicioug re-
suits therefrom

Bridal Tours.

An eminent physician of New ork,
upon the occasion of his daughters mar
riage, prohibited her from going on the
usual bridal tour. He did this from the
considerations of health and delieacy
which are not generally borne in mind.
the first experiences of bride are such as
she would naturally want retirement and
rest rather than ostentatious publicity.
A young couple in public cars and at
hotel tables, cannot keep the prescious
and happy secret all to themselves.
Their newly-formed relation tells itself
in thousand ways. Of this the bride
is conscious, and the ordeal to sensi-
tive young woman is most trying. Then
the sudden change in the life of the
woman is Liable to bring on physical de-
rangements which may last q lifetime,
for the shock to an exaltation of her
feelings react on her body, often iniur-
iously. So the New York doctor we
have been speaking of ordered his
daughter with her young husband, to
enter at once upon the duties of new
home, and to postpone the tour until at
least a month had passed away. OF
course, there is another side of this
question. It may be that even the fond
est affection would not continue if two
time together without the distraction
necessitated by travel, and the reserve
necessary to be kept up in public places
This is an interesting topic, and one
which might form profitable subject to
debate in women's societies. 1t is SUBJ
ject, also, upon which women physicians
might be heard to advantage. Demo-
