The Wonderful Progress Made in IL
Treatment of Eve Troubles

The Wonderful Progress Made in the
Treatment of Eye Troubles.
Science has made great progress in
treating diseases of the eye. Cataract
in most cases can be relieved, and good
working vision retored, even in the very
aged. The disease consists in the
crystalline lens becoming opaque, and
its treatment, in removing the lens and
supplying its place with glasses. There
is another still more prevalent disease
of the eye, in which the iris becomes
adherent to the transparent protecting
cornea before it, and the latter be-
comes of a milk-white opacity. This
disease has been looked on as nearly
hopeless. But last year the surgeon to
the st. Paul's Eye and Ear Hospital,
England. treated a case of the kind with
4 success which fairly astonished him,
and which leads him to anticipate in
the future as favorable results as in
other grave diseases of the eve.
The girl was in her twentieth year,
and had always been blind. One eye
was plainly beyond relief But the iris
of the left eye did not everywhere adj

girl. however, as blind as the other eve,
and she could not distinguish her fiji,
gers held closely before it. Still, there
was trihing perception of light. By
several operations, extending through
nearly two months. the adhesions were
severed. Contrary to expectations,
the lens were found to be transparent
and otherwise in good condition.
though the long tension had resulted
in producing myOpia (short-sighted-
ness). There was also a good-Sized
pupil, though temporarily ragged on
two sides from the cuts, and the mi
mute muscles of the iris had retained
in full their sensibility and contractil-
ity. Glasses remedied the myopia. and
in less than two months the girl was
able, with some difficulty, to read or
binary print, and coarser print with
ease. Meanwhile the vision became
clearer
What seems surprising in the case.
is that the retina had retained its sensi-
tiyeneSs, and the muscles of the iris

ton. through the disease of twenty
years, it being 4 general law that

STYLES IN TOMBSTONES

A Dealers Chat About the Peculiarities
of His Business.
What style of tombstones is pre-
ferred nOw?"
monuments are used almost entire
ly nowadays. They are made of dark
marbles and GRANTEES and very little
carving is used on them. A little deli
cate tracery and an inscription on the
face of the stone is about all that is
used Country people always want
designs, verses. flowers and all that.
but city people have Outgrown that
taste; for them the palmer stone is
the better. In the same way persons in
rural neighborhoods cling to the old idea
of pure white stones. / admit that the
idea is significant, but it has lost ground
for some reason. Vermont granite is
mostly used. also Tennessee marbles.
wh.:h are notified, You know. Quincy
GRANTEES from Massachusetts and even
Colorado granite from the vicinity of
Georgetown. White marble is found
in the GunnisOn country. but is very
hard to procure, as the region where it
exists Is 20 mountainous that it can only
be taken out in very small pieces.
1T is a surprising fact that widow
or widower once married again will
never make any effort toward erecting
a stone to the memory of his or her
former partner. They seem to forget
all about their grief and to take pleas
ure in forgetting. Marble men never
get any orders from that class of peo-
pie. :"
Are people usually thoughtful about
putting up stones to the memory of
their children?''
Mothers are, but fathers are very
apt to forget unless they are constantly
reminded of their duty. / do not at
tribute the latter fact to GOODNESS ex-
actiy, but you see, men are so busy
they don't think of these things as
women do. and children are not as apt
to be remembered as grown persons
are.
Have you ever met anybody whom
you considered wholly inconsOlable-
quite broken-hearted. in fact?''
Yes. | have met people whom be-
lieve can never be cOmforted as long
as they live, but so infrequently that /
could almost recall their names for you
if you would like to have them. As
general thing, though, time cures all
griefs to a certain extent. Most people
live in the present and future. rather
than in, the past. Some school them
selves to forget; others forget naturally.
People regain cOntentment after be-
much sooner than they would
have thought possible for them to DO"

Silence Is Golden.

subjects of series of articles by an old

runs to gossip of days lang syne. At
one dinner a little episode occurred
which cost the man who made a some

invited by Stewart to his tables and the
millionaire poured out the blue seal.
The Englishman quaffed down what

A HOUSEHOLD RECIPE.
Dire ctions for Cooking Husbands to the
Wife's Satisfaction.

Wife'S satisfaction.
Miss Corson said ut the Baltimore
Cooking School that Baltimore lady
had wriftef 4 recipe for cooking hus-
bands so Us to make them tender and
good" 1t is as follows: \ good many
husbands are utterly spoiled by mis-
management. Some women 90 about
it as if their husbands were bladderS
and blow them up. Others keep them
constantly in sAOt water; others let
them freeze by their carelessness and
indifference. Some keep them in y
stew by irritating ways and words.
Others roast them. Some keep them
in pickle all their lives. 1t can not be
supposed that any husband will be ten
der and good managed in this way, but
they are really delicious when properly
treated. In selecting your husband
you should not be guided by the silyery
appearance. as in buying mackerel,
nor by the golden tint. as if you want
ed salmon. Be sure to select him your
self, as tastes differ. Do not go TO
market for him, as the best are always
brought to Your door. 1t is far better
to have none unless you will patiently
learn how to cook him. A preserving
kettle of the finest porcelain is best, but
if you have nothing but an earthenware
pipkin, it will do. with care. See that
the linen in which you wrap him is
nicely washed and mended, with the
required number of buttons and strings,
nicely Sewed on. Tie him in the kettle
by 4 strong silk cord called comfort, rs
the one called duty is apt to be weak.
They are apt to fly out Of the kettle and
be burned and crusty on the edges,
since, ike crabs and Holsters, YOU have
to cook them when alive. Make q
clear. steady fire out of love, neatness
and cheerfulness. Set him as near this
as seems to agree with him. If he sput-
tiers and fixes, do not be anxious; some
husbands do this till they are quite done.
Add little sugar in the form of what
confectiOners call kisses, but no vinegar
or pepper on any account. A little
spice improves them, but it must be
nsed with judgement. Do not stick
any sharp instrument into him to see if
he is becoming tender. Stir him gent
"; watch, the while, lest he lie too fiat
and close to the kettle. and so become
useless. You can not fail to know when
he is done. If thus treated. YOU will

will keep as long as you want. unless
you become careless and set him in too

HYDROPHO1IA.
DIR. Pasteur's Recently Discovered Rem
edy for the Addiction.

DIR. PaSteurs Recently Discovered Rem-
edy for the Addiction.
The recent communication of NJ. Pas
teur to the Academy of Sciences upon
the prevention of hydrophobia by in
oculation has naturally aroused great
interest among the general public as
well as in the scientific world. The
methods and results of his experiments
upon this subject have not been pub
lished with sufficient detail to Justify
any positive Judgment or intelligent
criticism concerning them. If correct
ly reported. Pastcur is convinced that
he has discovered means by which the
virus of hylrophObia can be attenu;tcd.
and that by the incubation of the at
tcnuatcd virus individuals may be ron
dcrcd. for the time being. unsuSccpti-
BILE to the disease. The attenua-
ton is said to be effected by
preserving for variable length of
time pieces of the spinal cord of
rabbits, which have been inOculated
with the hydrophobic virus. The
longer the pieces of spinal cord are
preserved. the weaker becomes the
virus contained in them. 1t is evident
that the spinal cord must be preserved
in manner not to decomDose, and at
the same time not to destroy ut once the
hydrophobic virus. We are not in
formed how these ends are accom-
plished. but in accordance with PaSteur's
doctrine of attenuation of virus. they
must be reached without any obstacle
to the free access of oxygen TO the spcci-
men. OF especial interest IS the state
ment that incubation with attenuated
virus will prevent the outbreak of
Ike disease. even when the inocula-
ton is performed after the reception
into the body of the strong virus by
the bite of rabid animal There is
no information as TO whether this in
oculation is effcctual after the develop
ment of the symptoms of hydrophobia
or not
The conclusions OF Pasteur, coming
from so great an authority, will receive.
rs they deserve, respectful and serious
consideration. 1t is understood that for
no less than five years Pasteur has given
the greater share OF his time and labor
to the study of h-,trophobia. 1t is prob-4
able that his conclusions are based upon
a large number of careful experiments
1pcn animals. The two CT three re-
ported instances of preventive inocuia-
ton of human beings, which have ex-
cited such popular interest, and which
have been reported with so much dra-
matte detail in the newspapers. can

hardly lay claim to much scientific value
in proof of Pasteur's views. Even il
the number of reported cases were much
larger, it would be necessary to uss
great caution in drawing from them
positive conclusions in view of the fac.
that the period of incubation of hydro
phobia is very variable. and sometimes
of many months duration; that a con-
siderable number of those bitten by
rabid dogs never contract hydrophobia.
even when no especial treatment has
been adopted, and that there is great
popular ignorance as to the symptoms
and means of recognition of hydropho-
bia in dogs.
The whole subject of immunity from
disease by preventive incubation is in u
very unsettled state. Wepossess mass
of superficial observations and undi-
gested conclusions on the subject, but
we have very few positive and well-es-
tablished facts. 1t is to be hoped that
Pasteur's researches upon the inocula-
ton and cure of hydrophobia will be
found to add greatly to our knowledge
of this subject. and that the blessings
which are anticipated from his discovery
NAV b realized. Science.

Value of MuIchinp

The object of mulching is TO main
tain more equable temperature and
condition of moisture. While mulch
ing is considered of importance, AID is
practiced in summer, it is perhaps little
less so for winter. In winter tins adj
vantage of mulching comes chiefly
from its maintaining a uniform cOAdi-
ton of the soil. The simple condition
of freezing does not cause iniurT to
plants, it is the alternate freezing End
thawing of the surface which tends TO
lacerate and destroy the tender roots
One great object of winter mulching is
to prevent this, and for which reason
the mulch may not be applied until the
ground is frozen so as TO hold il in that
condition as much as can be. There
