DEAF AND BLIND.
AN INTERESTING STORY.

Miss Minnie Wallace resides with Mrs. George
Fickland, Al McAfee street, Atlanta, Ca, and
from her own lips a Constitution reporter learn
ed the following appalling story:
Several months ago she became almost totally
blind and deaf, and could not taste anything ex
cept salt. Her bones became the seat of intense
pain, her joints were swollen and painful, and
eventually her whole body and limbs, became
covered with splotches and small sores. Her
appetite failed, and ,she gradually lost flesh
and strength, and had but little use of herself,
as her limbs and muscles were paralyzed. She,
as well as her friends and those with whom she
lived, despaired other recovery. Her sufferings
combined with loss of hearing and taste, and
blindness, were truly heartrending.
All treatment from physicians and the use o
medicines seemed powerless. Her disease was
blood poison and rheumatism
AS she now seemed well and hearty the re-
porter asked what wrought such a wonderful
change.

she replied, land before one bottle had been

Dime Novels.
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
A youth brought up on novels IS
pretty sure to have an oVer-stlmulaCeu
Imagination and no common sense.
To walk up the steps of marble pala-
ces and come into contact with heroes
and heroines of phenomenal virtues
and vices is apt to unit a boy 1or
splitting wood for the kitchen stove or
doing chores about the house. After
spending the evening IN consuming
the dime novel and breathlessly follow
ing the fortunes of women with saint
" faces and men with overgroWn
mustaches, everyday life seems a bit
insiDid, and it becomes hard to crawl
out of bed at live O'Clock in the morn
ing with the mercury at zero and go
to the office to sweep the floor for two
dollars and a half a week.
What our boys need is less spice and
more corned beef. Good solid reading
which makes them feel that they are
in their glory when they are FURNISH
ing the brass on the shop door because
it is the first step in the upward climb,
is what they ought to have. A single
book which makes drudgery delightful
because it is a good beginning is better
than a thousand which infame the
fancy and render real life tasteless.
The dime novel is the right bower of
the devil when he is playing for a boys
head and heart.
