AFTER SIXTY YEARS OF DARKNESS.

Mrs. Harriet Holmes, colored woman,
who is 60 years old IVES blind from her
birth until three weeks ago. She was
geveral times taken 10 the Germantown
Hospital on Penn street, and became known
in that institution as Blind Aunt Harriet
Dr. Il. w. Fox, one OF the surgeons at the
hospital was attracted by the peculiarly il
the formation of her eyes, and made mn ex
animation, which convinced him that her
sight might be restored. The old wonais
consent 10 mn operation was net obtained
without difficulty. After the operation her
eyes were bnndaeed for eight days, and she
was confined in very dark room for several
days nfterward When the bandages wer'
taken off she was astonished. Although the
room was dark, she could see objects severa,
feet distant, but quite distinctly, or "alI
mixed up" as she afterward declared. Al
last she was removed to one of the wards OF
the hospital which looked upon tho street,
and the bandage was removed.
The patient started violently, and cried
ont as il with feer, and for moment WINS
quite nervous from the effects of the shock.
For the first time in her life she looked upon
the earth. The first thing she noticed was II
little flock of sparrows. In relating her ey
perience she said that she thought they were
teacups. although, strange to say, few
moments afterward she readily distinguished
q watch which was shown her. 1t is sup
posed that this recognition was owing to toe
fact that she heard its ticking and at once
associated the two together. She was so"ii
able to distinguish those objects which she
had been accustomed to handle, such rs
chair, door, or table. She said that
everything seemed pretty, and although at
first all objects appeared to her bright aud
shining like gold, she soon became accus-
toned to colors and can now distinguish
them very well. For n long time distant
objects appeared 30 near that she thought
that she could touch them. She begins to
distinguish distances, il not too great Ow
ing TO her first impression of distance she
was for some time afraid to walk with her
eyes open, the ground or floor appearing
'fur way off," in strange contrast with her
impression OF distant objects. The popular
impression that person born blind who Ii
restored to sight ina sines that men and
women are walking on their heads, and
trees look like elephants, was not verified in
her case, although she now even makes mis-.
takes quite as ludicrous as in the case of the
mistake of the birds for tea cups.
The blaze from lamp excited the most
lively surprise in her mind. She had no
idea what 1t was, and when it was brought
near her wanted TO pick il up. When night
approached upon the day when she first
used her eyes she was in fright, fearing
that she was losing the sight which she had
SO wonderfully found after sixty years Of
darkness. PhiladeLphia Record.

GATHERING TEA IN JAPAN.

Tea gathering is commenced in May.
Girls are employed, at an average of five
cents day, from sunrise to sunset. The
sprg of leaves is nipped off carefully with
the finger nails, deposited in basket
and taken rs they are filled, to the tea plant
er's house and out-houses. Here other
employees spread them outon large palm mats
and here the first and only adulteration es
sayed by the ten planter is executed. Hav-
ing decided the percentage of exhausted
leaves to mix with his fresh leaves these are put
also on the mats The drying is in the
open air and in the sunlight. This having
been completed the next operation is the
curling. TO effect this the dried leaves are
poured into open cast-iron receptacles over
charcoal furnace beneath of accurately
graded heat. Sufficient laborers are placed
around these pans to constantly take in their
hands the leaves as they become heated aud
to roll them. When the curling is done tho
leaves are packed in coarse, cheap boxes,
freighted TO the nearest tea market and
there sold to foreign tea dealer. Every
foreigner keeps special variety OF tea-tast-
or, who has to tell the quality of the fresh
leaf and to make guess at the amount OF
leaves that have already done service.

GOING UNARMED THE BEST.

There is law against carrying pistols, for
instance. Does anyone mind that? Not al
ALL suppose IL would be safe to say that
half the men and grown-up boys in New
York either carry loaded revolvers where
ever they go, or have them at hand in their
homes, ready for mischief at any moment
Hardly day passes without some new
proof that the pistol is n universal curse.
We have just had striking example in Jer-
sey City, where a minister accidentally killed
his wife while handling loaded revolver 10
his room. Now, what business had minis
ter with loaded revolver in his loom any
way2 Why didn't he keep lot of arsenic
lying around loose rs well, or mad dog in
the dining roomp And there was the case
Of the New York business man who shot
and killed his partner in the stateroom of
Sound steamer Under the impression that he
was a thief. flo never stopped to ask
question but banged away and laid his friend
and partner dead nj his feet. The loaded re-
volver was at hand, you see, and to fire
away WAS q matter of course We hear
great deal about the free use OF the pistol 10
he South, but il certainly is free enough in
New York too. No tailor thinks of making
u pair of trousers without putting in hip
pocket for revolver. Business men keep
loaded pistols in their Office desk, carry them
il their pockets at meals or in their parlors.
Women keep them in their room, and fire.
quently talk of their readiness TO use them.
There are women in New York, even the 30
called best circles who consider it as propeI
% have a revolver at hand rs others do ia
make baby of n snarling ten-cent Kyoodle.
Bat ii is no use making catalogue OF the
people who always either carry loaded pis-
tolls or have them on hand take it that
half of them are fools They have no moro
use for firearms than bear has for a seal
skin overcoat in summer. But II seems
they can't be broken of the habit The
daily lessons of danger are thrown away
lpon them. They pay no attention to lee
lures on the subject even when they IRE EN-
phasized by shots, accidental and otherwise
which makes work for the coroners. The
right to bear arms is oil very well, but il Ger.
tainly never was meant as license for going
about with facilities for wholesale killing in
ones pocket, or setting up an arsenal in
bedroom.

DRESS IN A HOT COUNTRY.

II is of course superhuous to say that the
better classes of Brazians arr always de-
Gently or even elegantly dressed from
boyhood, yet the children Of the most
wealthy arc sometimes introduced to visitors
without any clothing but string of beads
around the neck, or pair of elegant slippers
on their tiny feet, while in the photographs
galleries one can find few pictures OF any
but nude children. Among the lower class
az boys are frequently never dressed till they
are II years old. Girls commonly wear
clothing sooner, though the first few years
of their lives pass with only pair Of ear
rings, which find their way into the ear of
every female child before she is year old.
With servant women the costume consists
If long trailing skirt, whose waist IL cut

their children are dressed at all they wear
a single long sleeve loose garment, which

most touches the ground For these shape

colors and the effect is the climax Of sin.

THE BABY oNA SLEEPING CAR.


Who ever travelled in a sleeping-car which
did not contain a woman with baby, "A
leather-lunged baby, which gave promise OF
becoming basso-profundo in maturity?
She was there when the pilgrim arrived, aud
his heart sank within him. The baby was
also there, in season of temporary content
ment, which every one knew was but the
lull before the storm. Several sisters Of the
parent and aunts Of the infant, were tear
fully bidding them farewell and imploring
the porter to watch over and protect the
travellers, and let them know il there was
going to be an accident in time for them to
get off the train beforehand, all of which he
Of the white cap solemnly promised. Then
after more tears and sobs and embraces,

ed as If life had lost all its joys Tor her.
The train started, the baby began to cry,
and its mother asked the misanthropic youth
who occupied the next seat what she could
do to keep it quiet He advised her to
chloroform it and put 1t out on the back
platform, and received look which almost
froze his marrow.--NeD York Times.

LONG FELT WANT.

One of the most ingenious adaptations of
slectricity, recently introduced, is that by
which machinery, when in motion, may be
instantly stopped-as in the case of an
engine. A wire rope, coiled around the
stem of the throttle valve of the engine car
ries weight which is held in place by a
rest, and the whole arrangement is such that
the passing of the electric current along .
wire releases this rest and causes the weight
to fall. The tension thus thrown upon the
wire rope acts upon the throttle valve, cuts
off the supply of steam and consequently
stops the machinery. Buttons, with wire
connections are placed in different parts OF
the works, and on pressing any of these the
passage of an electric current acts az above
mentioned. In any factory these electric
buttons can be placed in every room as may
be required. Should any one happen to be
caught by the machinery, the simple pres
sing of button in the most distant part OF
the factory will quickly stop the whole.

INA CATTLE TOWN.

Miles City, NJ. r., is the headquarters and
principle shipping point of the great cattle
interest of the Territory, and its proximity
to Fort Keogh which is only two miles dis.
tant, gives it additional prominence as
trading place. The town itself has curious
interest for the stranger, being in many
respects different in its characteristics from
the other towns on the line. 1t is more
like typical border town aud more in con.
sonance with the generally accepted nature
of what border town should be. Cowboys
with lariats hanging on their saddles are
seen at every turn, riding on the stout little
broncho ponies of the plains; rough looking
men are loafng on the street corners oc-
casionally big Indian, with squaw or
two following him, stalks across the scene,
aud on each side OF the street are innumer-
able places OF low resort, in which the COM
bined attractions Of rum end gambling are
openly advertised. These places are so
numerous, indeed, that they seem at first
glance to constitute the chief industry of the
town. At night they present curious
spectacle. Nearly oil are large rooms open
ing on the street. The doors are kept
wide open when the weather will Permit
and inside may be seen a motley crowd of
men and women. On one side of the room
is long bar from which beer and whisky
are dispensed, and about which there is
always crowd. Scattered about the room
are three or four faro lay outs" with grim
and intensely interested groups of players
standing around them. Scattered among
the groups are several Cinnamon, for John

are regarded with the utmost respect by the

thing is conducted quietly and in the most
orderly manner. To be sure, there ia

f'hey talked of their babies their clothes ana
their teeth,
ana there isn't thing you can think OF beaeath
The sun or the moon they didn't discuss,
With wonderful din and wonderful fuss
But the music we all had assembled to hear
These three charming mothers Of babies so dear.
The orchestra played that musical dream
or Schubert-his last-until It would seem
That chorus OF angels had caught up the theme
Ana lent the sweet tone OF their voices supreme
TO lift our souls up; but these fair mothers three
sun talked of their babies in innocent glee
And now the grand chorus rings out through the
hall,
And melody reigns supreme over all
Ever all save these mothers, who seem to forget
The charms OF the music, because they have set
themselves for talk, their babies for text,
without even thought for those they have
vexed
Fhey tell us that music will charm the wild
beast
VI the savage and set him completely at rest,
But with babies for text, no song ever sung
Gan stop for q moment fond mothers tongue.

A FORTUNE WITHIN RAGS.

Ragged and filthy would hardly describe
the condition of an old man who applied on
Saturday at Bellevue Hospital for admission
as patient. John Russell was the name
he gave to the examining physician, and he
said that he was native of England, 60
years old, printer by trade. He claimed
to have been thirty years in this country,
and stated that he had neither kith nor kin,
and that he was without a home. So
wretehed was his condition that even the
ase-hardened attaches were disguised, and
before admitting him into a ward every
stitch of clothing ON him was removed from
his person.
IN removing the mans clothing, Orderly
Sebastian discovered what at first looked
like bundle of old newspapers, tied around
the mans body next TO the skin. When the
Orderly began TO examine the parcel he was
surprised to fiud twelve bank books, show-
ing deposits aggregating $40, 900 and $6s ii
cash. The books and the money were
turned over to Warden O'Rourke and an a.
fort has been made to obtain from the old
miser something of his history. He appear.
ed remarkably reticcnt about himself, and
insisted that he had neither friends nor re-
latives living. Wednesday the man died
and bis body was placed in charge OF an un. !,
dertaker.
So far as could be learned Russell had mot :
worked at his trade for about Two years past
He was exceedingly economical in the mat-
ter of food. II is said that he would DUR
chase two cents worth of bread, and butter
it in cheap restaurant, where he also got Q
cup of coffee. On one occasion, feeling
recklessly extravagant, he ordered plate OF
pork aud beans. A single bean fell from
the fork upon the table. In his attempt 10
recover it the bean fell to the floor. He
gravely picked it from the sawdust and ate
Il. II was his habit to walk slowly along
the street, his eyes fixed upon the ground.
He was not meditating, but only keeping
lookout for broken victuals and cigar
stumps. The former he ate and the latter
he sold.
II no ono applies for Russels money With
in eighteen months it viii be applied u the
payment of the State debt. Although the
old man declared himself to be- friendless Il
is said that he has nephews in this country.
For some time past Russel has been In feeble
health, and there were evidences Of mental
weakness.
