Curious Recovery of Eye-sight.

Captain Sam S. Thompson, the popu-
lar young captain of the Birmingham
rifles. who visited Mobile during the en-
campment of the Second Regiment, will
be remembered by many citizens. No
one Of the many who made his acquain-
tance here imagined that one of his two
clear blue eyes was perfectly blind. yet
such was indeed the fact A stranger
fact than this, remains to be told. About
seven years ago Captain Thompson, who
is the pattern-maker at the Lynn Iron
works, Birmingham, received a blow on
the left eye, which thoroughly destroyed
the sight of that orb, although it did
not change its outward appearance.
On the 9th inst, while at work, Captain
Thompson noticed that he involuntarily
shrank or lodged as he moved past
objects on his left hand side. This was
a novel experience, and he wondered
why he should be so peculiarly nervous.
Presently, however, he had occasion to
place his hand to his right eye to rub
some dust from it. At length the truth
of his case was revealed to him, for he
discovered as he closed his right eye
that the old time darkness did not sur
round him. He could see with the eye
which had been totally blind for seven
years. The sight is not as perfect as
that of the right, but sufficiently clear
to distinguish objects even at some dis
tance, although not distinctly. In re-
gard to this phenomenon the physicians
Of Birmingham say that the sight was
by a coagulated particle of
blood under the iris, which has at length /
dissolved. The sight viii doubtless
continue to improve.-Mobile (Ala.)

Petriied Snakes in Brown Stone.

There is a block of brown stone from
the Hummelstown Quarries, at the stone
works of J. Shearer, in that city, in
which was imbedded a clearly-defned
lot OF petrifed SNAKES, averaging in
thickness from the size of a mans wrist
to the size Of mans finger. The
block is four feet long, about two feet in
width and fully six inches in thickness.
The outlines of the reptiles stand out in
bold relief on the surface of the block,
and are sunk in the stone fully an inch
deep. The minute sections of the skin,
the vertebrae and other portions of the
reptiles are distinctly outlined, and are
much harder and darker than the grain
of the chOcolate-covered stone. In
splitting the block at the quarries the
exposed or upper surface came out Of
the sandstone detached from it, the
same as iron out of a mould in foun-
dry, intact and perfect, leaving a con-
cave impression in the other piece of
the block. The heads of the largest
serpents outlined on the stone were
broken when the block was detached
from its bed in the quarry. A former
employee at the quarries states that
beautiful petrified specimens Of ferns,
shells, etc, have been taken out fre-
quently, and many carried away by Wis
itors from Reading, Philadelphia and
elsewhere. At the quarries immense
blocks of brown stone are piled up pro-
and many intelligent people !
aver that there was an upheaval of the !
Chestnut Ridge centuries ago.-Harris-

TIE STUFF TO MAKE MEN OF.
some wholesome Hints about Force of
Character.

An exchange says: ''The younges
son of Massachusetts, famousWar Gov
ernor appears to be made of heroic stuff
According to the Pittsfeld Journal he
is working for local telephone company
as repairer and lineman. To be able tC
put on overalls and a shabby coat and
visit as a mechanic residences where he
has been a welcome guest at full-dress
balls and receptions, shows Mr.. Andrew
to have nerve and determination enough
to win success in the higher ranks OF
the business he has adopted" That
young mans grit is indeed remarkable
in this age of dudism and cigareticide.
When young man makes the best of
the circumstances which surround him,
when he will take off his coat and en-
gage in honest labor, not afraid to soil
his hands, he is the man that will be
able to successfully meet any emergency.
He is one Of natures noblemen. A
young man who, by force of circum-
stances, has courage enough and strength
of character enough to unhesitatingly
put on the garb of mechanic and enter
the house to work as a mechanic, where
in the days gone by he has entered in
full dress, one Of a company of wealthy
young men, that young man is composed
of the stuff that makes men. He is an
honor to himself, his family and his
country.
He has force of character that gives
him true independence that laughs at
what his former companions may say,
or at their snubs and jeers. He is bound
to rise in the world, and nine out Of ten
who have this independence live to see
the day when those who snubbed him
viii be glad to accept aid-the bread of
charity from the hand they refused to
take a few years before, because it had
the callous of honest toll that is far
more honorable and beautiful than the
glove upon the hand which is not
earned by the wearer. When a young
man is in a position to afford all the fine
personal adornments; when he has
money enough at his command to live
without work, he certainly has a right to
spend it as best pleases him. But if to |
this be added that force of character that |
will enablehim to step into the ranks of
the honest mechanic should a time come !
when his money takes unto itself wings
and flies away, he is indeed a man whom
the whole world should be proud to
honor. There are, however, too many
en-dollar-a-week young men who try to
assume the airs Of millionaires. If these
young men would stop for an instant
and think of the utter impossibility of
success in such an attempt, they would
soon change their course, as they would
realize that such is not the stuff men are
made Of.-Pec6's Stt2.

THE COMET OF 1912 COMING. Cal
eulations based upon observations of the
comet recently discovered by Mr.. Brooks
have just been completed by Prof. Boss,
of the Dudley Observatory, at Albany,
N. Y. They show beyond doubt that
this comet is identical with the Pous
comet of 1912, so long expected. The
comet will reach its perihelion in Janu-
ary, and will be visible to the naked eye
in December, perhaps sooner.

AN INTERRUPTED PRAYER.
Why n Divine Could not be Induced 20
Continue the Good Work,

Unintentional carelessness sometimes
brings the gospel into contempt. Min
isters who profess to be no respectors
of clothes but "sizers up" of men instead,
sometimes make errors that drive we'll
meaning men away from the fold. The
other day new minister while making
calls in the suburbs of the city, visited
the house of Colonel Alfred Coledon, a
well-known citizen. Colonel Coledon
was at work in the garden short dis
tance from the house. He was dressed
very plainly, of course, in facthe looked
very much like a day laborer. The
minister passed him without speaking
and entered the house. The colonel
turned and watched the divine while an
expression, closely resembling one of
contempt, settled on his face and seemed
to hang in dark folds from his bulging
brow. Shortly after the minister en-
tered, Mrs. Coledon, who is devoted to
the church, came out and said:
Colonel, Brother Rinze is in the
house and is going to pray with us. "
"I'll be blamed if he prays with me, "
the colonel replied ''He passed me
Just now in his high-headed way without
even noticing me. Now he wants to
pray with me. Ell? Confound him, if he
fools with me I'll wrap a hoop-pole
around him. Fine preacher of the gos-
pei Takes me for a tramp, no doubt.
You can go on and pray all day with
him if you want to, but count me out, if
yOuplease.
The good woman was grieved, but
knowing that argument would be use
less, she went back into the house and
was soon kneeling in deyout prayer.
Just about this time a COW jumped into
the garden, and the colonel, calling his
dog, hissed the animal on the invader,
The dog barked furiously and chased !
the COW around the house. Her bell !
rang like fire alarm, and infuriated she |
rushed on the porch. The colonel |
seized SQUASH from which all health |
fulness had departed, and threw it at |
the cow The squash went through the |
window and struck the minister on the |
left temple mashing all over him, and
giving to his evangelical head coloring
that would have driven him, had he ap-
oeared in such plight, from any well
body Of religionists. He
3prang to his feet just in time to meet

'ushed into thereon. The COW knocked
i'm down and tramped on him. He
rose with great difficulty just as the
.nimal, finding an outlet in any other
direction impossible, turned to go out.
She Knocked him down again, and
pounded him in the back with her sharp
loofs. The colonel rushed to the res
ne, and apologized, and washed the
head, but the good man could

May %. 1888: Il have used Hunts Remedy
in my family for over ten years. My wife
was troubled with catarrh of the bladder,
suffered intense pain in the kidneys and
loins, and urinatiOn was accomplished with
the greatest OF agony. My friends thought
that she could not recover. We tried doctors
and medicines, and although better at times
she would grow worse again. She was obliged
to use the urinal as many as fifteen times IN
a night and was growing worse daily. At
this time my attention was called to HUNT S
Remedy, and / concluded to try it; and after
using one bottle she was a good deal better,
the inflammation was reduced, and the water
more natural. She began to gain in appetite
and felt no pain in the back and kidneys.
She could attend to her household work
without pain. and this had been a great
burden to do. even the lightest kind of work.
After using six bottles she was completely
cured. Since then | have had occasion to
use Hunts Remedy for kidney and liver COM
plants and found it to be just as represented,
and 1 consider it a most wonderful medicine.
