A Girl Blind from Birth is Made tn see
by Removal of Cataract.


by Removal Of C~ataract. 70 see
Rochester Post.
Those who have read Wilkie Col
Inns Poor Miss Finch viii readily re.
call Lucilla's misfortune, blindness
from birth, caused by cataracts. DIR.
Crosses fallacies regarding the strug-
ples of sight to assert itself in persons
who have been blind for life, the illu-
sion of the patient regarding distance,
color. forms, etc, will be remembered.
Lucilla could not, from restored sight,
tell whether an object held before her
was n cube or n globe, whether a hand
kerchief was white or colored. She
had a great horror Of anything dark;
that is, when she was blind. I'm her
Imagination Lucilla's answers to ques-
tons were put to the theories of Sur
geon Optic Crosse" and he ives pleased
at the result of his skill. 49,
There is in Rochester, at the City
hospital, at the present time the coun-
terpart of Lucilla in all the realities, but
not in the surgeon optic his ~fallacies
and theories. The subject is Emma
Waterstraat, u years Of age. She was
born in Loets, Pomerania, Germany.
She came to New York city two
years ago. On the eighth of April, this
year, she came to Rochester and resid-
ed with her aunt on Hoelzer street, her
father and mother being dead. Two or
three months of this time she passed in
the blind asylum at Batavia, where she
learned to read raised letters by the
touch Her trouble was c%ongenital
cataract. and from birth she could only
see so as to distinguish between day
and night. When taken to the city
hospital, the eminent oculist of the in
stitution, after an examination, said
her sight could be restored, and three
weeks ago he operated on the left eve.
producing a rift in the cloud which
had shut out her sight for SO many
years. The writer, interested in seeing
her when the first test was made visited
the hospital, and when the bandage
was removed by the surgeon she told
him She could see his fingers. A vase
of flowers was held before her and she
said they were flowers aud one.of them
was red" .4osvoIrnfr
She told what other objectswere, and
their form. ''Dr. Crosses confirmed
theories, Poor Miss Finch's', vdfsitica-
ton of the sturgeon optics" fallacies
were disproved-dispelled bythis prac-
teal illustration, in fact. Emma's
sight continues to improve as the rift
in the cloud" widenS from ABSORPTION.
No further operation may be necessary,
and there is no question but that in
good time she may see ''as others see"
The patient sees and learns so gradual
~, the same rs child learning to read,
that the mind is educated to forms and
distances easily. Cataract patients
never see instantly after the operation.

The Ground Hog did not Survive.
Tuscumbia Alabaman.

luscunlDlh AlhDanhn.
A few mornings ago a mar living
nea Wolf Creek was attracted by the
barking of his dogs and, going to where
they had freed a ground hog on the
side of the mountain, he found him in
a hollow log with the entrance lying
up hill. He procured a long pole to
reach the game, but this being too short
he crawled in to lengthen the pole, and
hung his toes over the end of the log.
In this position he lost his hold, and
down he went in the log on top of the
ground hog, and a lively fight began.
The mans superior strength prevailed,
but not till he had been bitten in eleven
places and badly Scared. But the
trouble had not ended. He could not
crawl backward up hill, so he was a
prisoner in a critical, not to say ridicu-
lous, position, with no means of escape.
Fortunately, at this frightful ju%ncture
the family became uneasy and went out

Fixing His Horse to Win.

San Francisco Post.
The writer met the jockey of Ruther-
ford while dining at the Winter palace
in st. Petersburg, a short time after
that huge sporting wrangle, and, in
the course of u conversation on turf
matters, the astute prodder of horse-flesh
said, with a child-like and ingenious
smile, as he passed the beans: would
you like to know the dead inside facts
rs to how that race was wonP"
''Why, you rode the best horse,
didn't you?' we asked.
Not a bit of it," replied the jockey,
with Il grin. THE fact was that Ruth
erford was only about the fourth choice,
and was not rated at more than eighth
or ninth in the pools. True Blue,
Katie Peace, and Thad Stevens all had
the call over Ruthy. But it happened
that my horse was Il 'bolter,' and to
steady him and prevent his flying the
track put binders and goggles on him.
You noticed them suppose
There were two horses rugged that
way we replied.
Exactly; Stevens was a nervous
c%ritter. also, and as soon as his trainer
saw how the goggles steadied my horse
he put them on Thad, too. The day be-
fore the race a big idea occurred to
me. | got Il couple of pair of magnify
ing lenses and quietly put 'em in place
of the plain glasses in the goggles OF
both horses. Catch on to the idea?"
well, partly
THE only difference was, that in
Stevens brides | fastened the glasses
with the bulge inside, SO as to make
them diminishing glasses. Don't you
see?N
Like looking through the wrong
end of an opera glass, eh?" Exactly;
the result was that while Rutherford
was encouraged all the way by the
curse SEEMING only a couple of hundred
yards long, the quarter flags appeared
ten miles apart to Stevens. You see a
horse can be discouraged just as well as
a man"
Great scheme, that
''Well | should smile. Ruthy thought
he was in for a little quarter race, and
it kept up his heart so that when he
had nearly done the last mile and
swung into the home stretch, and |
called on him to let out his last link, he
thought the Judges stand was right
under his nose, SO he came home like an
express or a down grade, but Stevens,
who thought he had about fifteen miles
further to 90, went all to pieces, as
you remember. and almost laid down
on the track, he was mentally cayed in,
as it were"
There can be no question as to the
genuineness of this story, but we de-
liver it to the intelligent reader the i'm
porter's risk for all that.

Every young man should understand
that he should not care a button for his

We have had only space to aIludo briefly
to some of the points aud testimony in this
case. 1t attracted considerable attention not
only from the issue inv lived, but f'om the
character of men complained against There
is no better community Of people, none more
thrifty, industrious, law abiding and honor
able in Montana than the Warm Spring set
tiers, a number of the more prominent Of
whom were arrested on this complaint, and
the decision of Judge Emerson is not. only
universally recognized as just and proper In
its legal aspect, but rs a proper viHdication
of the persons complained Of. They have
acted throughout with admirable and re-
narkable temper and prudence, resofute TO
defend their rights, but not encroaching on
those Of others, under what las been to them
the threatening of a great evil and q menace
TO their welfare. We trust the same wise
eouusels will prevail unto the end.
